Joanna Lawrence lifted her eyebrows in surprise, "You’re going to cook for me?"
"You... know how to cook?"
Ashton Heath paused for a moment, then said, "I think I can manage if I follow the recipe."
He could easily master any task.
It was just cooking after all.
He felt that such a simple thing wouldn’t pose a challenge for him.
All he had to do was follow the recipe. He was sure he could do it.
"Are you sure?" Joanna didn’t seem fully convinced.
Could a person who had never cooked before actually make something edible?
He had made her sweet tea once before, and it tasted alright. But making sweet tea required no real skill.
As for dishes like Barbecue Pork Ribs, they might look easy, but they were actually quite difficult to make.
She herself wasn’t even sure she could make it taste good.
"I’m sure. If you have any other dishes in mind, let me know and I’ll make them too," Ashton Heath responded confidently.
Ashton Heath parked the car in the underground parking lot of a large mall.
The two of them got out of the car and took the elevator to the shopping area on the upper floor.
After getting a shopping cart, Joanna Lawrence strolled alongside Ashton Heath, casually browsing the shelves of goods and chatting, "Ashton Heath, have you ever been grocery shopping before?"
There were usually quite a few people in the mall.
Most of the people in the living goods area were older. Young people like them were a rare sight.
Even though Joanna was wearing a mask, it was obvious that she was very beautiful. The mask-less Ashton Heath, with his handsome face, was definitely an eye-catcher. Even the old ladies who passed by him couldn’t help but sneak a few glances at him.
Ashton Heath still wasn’t used to wandering around a crowd, especially when surrounded by a bunch of old men and old ladies. He pushed his cart to the vegetable section, glanced around, took a bundle of something he couldn’t identify and threw it into the shopping cart.
Seeing him put chives into the cart, Joanna asked curiously, "What are you going to do with those?"
"Hmm?" Ashton Heath looked down at the thing he’d just picked up, paused for a few seconds, and came up with a reason. "I think they look good, all green and fresh. Eating more green vegetables is good for the body."
Joanna Lawrence: "?? "
She strongly suspected that Ashton Heath had no idea what he’d just picked up.
She couldn’t help but ask, "Do you even know what this is?"
Ashton Heath pursed his lips and was silent for a few seconds, then raised an eyebrow, "It should be a wheat seedling, right? I know wheat is edible, but can wheat seedlings be eaten too? Have you ever eaten this? How does it taste?"
Joanna Lawrence: "???"
She widened her eyes in disbelief, giving him a look that was half puzzled and half amused. After making sure that he wasn’t joking, she was so close to bursting out laughing, "Ashton Heath, can you please say again, what is this?"
Looking at her reaction, Ashton Heath suddenly realized that he might have made a mistake.
He was silent for even longer this time.
"Isn’t this a wheat seedling? Then what is it?" Ashton Heath, who had always excelled academically and won several scholarships and competitions during college, encountered a real challenge for the first time in his life.
He... didn’t seem to recognize this bundle of stuff.
It looked just like a wheat seedling.
Joanna Lawrence was stifling her laughter so hard that her face turned bright red. She felt like she was about to die of laughter.
