“Continue serving me the dishes then.”
Huan Qing Yan was dumbstruck for a moment, “I am only a Spirit Chef, can we get a serving girl instead…”
“You aren’t willing?” Those starry-like eyes looked at her in a very, very gentle manner.
Huan Qing Yan had the urge to flip a table, of course she was not willing! She was here to work as a spirit chef but was now required to work as a serving girl too, this requires an increase in wages! What’s more, that bump at her back of her head requires work injury compensation!
Yet she displayed her most sincere smile, “This girl is exceptionally willing, to be able to serve Young Master Ji Mo is Qing Yan’s accumulated blessings of eight lifetimes. This lobster here possesses a high amount of spirit energy, it contains high levels of protein, able to boost the spirit and easy to pack for journeys. Please have a try, if the taste doesn’t suit you, Qing Yan will improve it the next time…”
The corners of Ji Mo Ya’s mouth curled up as he replied with two simple words, “Deshell it.”
‘Deshell your sis! Don’t you have arms and legs! Do it yourself if you want to eat!’
Yet her hands swiftly took a large lobster, “Sure, please wait a moment, Young Master. Qing Yan’s deshelling technique is exceptionally good, I guarantee it will be done quickly and well…”
After deshelling the lobster, Huan Qing Yan got smarter and no longer served him any lobster, she only placed vegetables on his plate…
Ji Mo Ya initially ate whatever he was served but he slowly noticed Huan Qing Yan’s intentions, so he put down his cutlery and stared at a plate of fish at a corner of the table.
Huan Qing Yan had no choice but to serve a piece of fish to him.
As expected, this great master said, “Remove the bones.”
Huan Qing Yan really wanted to slam her hand on the table, without any professional tools at hand, it was much more difficult to remove fishbones than to deshell a lobster. She wanted to turn around and walk away! No one can stop her!
“Sure, Young Master. However, removing fishbones is rather troublesome, Young Master should continue to eat for now… I will get it done quickly.”
Ji Mo Ya did as suggested and continued to eat.
However, his gaze would occasionally land on Huan Qing Yan, as though he was supervising and checking if she did her best to perform her task.
Huan Qing Yan’s heart nearly crumbled, this activity of thigh hugging was truly difficult, the difficulty level had already exceeded her estimations. She thought that by making delicious food daily for the thigh, that thigh’s impression of her would increase exponentially.
But the truth is, the path in front of her looks never ending, an arduous mission.
She is not only a chef but also a serving girl, woo woo woo, but she is determined to sell her skills and not her body!
Peh, this sentence sounds wrong somewhere…
A momentary loss of concentration resulted in a fishbone pricking into her fair, tender finger.
A drop of blood came out of the wound.
The blood drop fell into that piece of fish meat that she painstakingly prepared, Huan Qing Yan lifted her gaze and saw Ji Mo Ya’s expressionless face, yet there were traces of unhappiness if she observed between his brows. He looked at that contaminated piece of fish.
Here it comes!
This sense of caution that came out of nowhere!
Huan Qing Yan’s heart beat madly, hey! Why did she instinctively have this feeling of running away when his face darkened?
Huan Qing Yan smiled without emotion and said, “Young Master Ji Mo, let me prepare another piece of fish for you, it will be ready soon…”
But Ji Mo Ya replied, “Bring it here.”
Ah? He wants to eat this piece of fish that’s tainted with blood?
He does not look like such an agreeable person!
She served the dish.
Ji Mo Yan asked, “Your hand.”
‘My hand? What about my hand? Thinking of something indecent? They are a pair of single man and lady alone in this place, is he really demanding something indecent from her?’
‘Times are tough nowadays! A spirit chef must also be subjected to the underlying rules of their employers…’
