Chapter 431: The Kitchen
Dating variety shows often required the guests to cook. For this show, Chu Yi had specially signed up for a cooking class to focus on for a period of time and learned a few signature dishes.
This time, she was making a simple but unique tasting stewed chicken with cream. It was a classic dish in French cuisine.
The chicken meat was tender and smooth, and the cream soup was rich in taste. In order to enhance her personal characteristics, Chu Yi even used sweet basil as a garnish to enhance the flavor. Although it was a very simple dish, she plated it nicely, so it looked especially meticulous and exquisite.
If cooking was Chu Yi’s talent, there was nothing wrong with it.
However, such a dish seemed a little strange according to the taste of the Hua people. After all, milk usually appeared alone and was not directly used for cooking in their diet.
Although Bai Lin had gone to university in Country Y and had eaten a lot of European food, she still had some aversion to food like cream soup.
However, she was not a picky eater. When she was a mercenary, she had eaten all kinds of strange food like raw bird eggs, wild hawthorn from trees, fish and prawns from the river, and so on. She was always serious about carefully cooked food.
“l didn’t expect you to be so good at cooking. The seasonings really good.” He Ao had studied in Europe before, so he loved to eat creamy food like this. This caused him to have a good impression of Chu Yi.
Chu Yi played with her hair and smiled gently. She said humbly, “My cooking skills can only satisfy my taste. If everyone likes it, 1 can make some other dishes in the future.’
He Ao did not have a good impression of Chu Yi at first. She did not know much about many things, which made him feel bored. When they decorated the wooden cabin, Chu Yi did almost nothing, which made him feel that she was a little lazy and liked to push things to others.
However, today’s dish had changed He Ao’s opinion of Chu Yi. She was very virtuous when it came to cooking. He was also a person who loved to study food, so he could not help but look at her a few more times, while she returned him a shy look.
“l heard that Best Actor Yan also studied abroad. I wonder if this dish suits
your taste?” Chu Yi could not help but ask when she saw Yan Ruo eating slowly.
“Hmm, it’s not bad,” Yan Ruo replied politely.
Chu Yi reacted like she seemed to have received a huge compliment. She lowered her head in joy and said shyly, “It’s my honor to be praised by Best Actor Yan.”
[l thought she’d make something earth-shattering. In the end, it’s just such a common dish in western restaurants?]
[She’s beautiful and knows how to cook. You guys must be jealous.]
[Baby Chu Yi’s cooking looks delicious. Even Best Actor Yan praised it. If I can have a bite, I’ll die of happiness.]
When Chu Yi looked at Bai Lin, the modesty and coyness of a young girl in her eyes were gone. She looked arrogant.
When she saw that Bai Lin had finished eating very quickly and even finished it cleanly, she felt that Bai Lin was really a country bumpkin who had never seen the world.
Yan Ruo, on the other hand, wore a rather appreciative expression looking at Bai Lin. He liked her like this. She ate everything with relish and did not waste anything. She never hid her love for food, just like an innocent child.
After they finished eating, Ruan Jing took the initiative to help clean up the used plates. She carried the plates into the kitchen and saw that there were water stains all over the cooking counter. They could not see it clearly from the dining room, but it was clear now. The kitchen was in a mess.
Bai Lin also helped to collect two plates and saw everything in the kitchen.
The used cream box was not even covered properly, the chopping board that had been used to cut the chicken was not washed, and the knives were casually placed on the chopping board. The half-cut vegetables were casually left on it, and there were some unknown residue and spilled cream on the floor… In short, it would take some time to clean up.
“Let’s go, Xiao Jing. Don’t worry about this.” Bai Lin did not have the kind heart to deal with the mess left behind by others.
Ruan Jing looked at Bai Lin’s back and realized the difference between the two of them even more clearly.
Even though Ruan Jing looked forward to Bai Lin’s attitude and style of doing things, she found that she could not completely get rid of the habits her past had left in her.
She could not really leave the kitchen like this, even though she had nothing to do with it.
Ruan Jing sighed slightly, rolled up her sleeves, and started cleaning..
