Chapter 179 Why has the cook's skill declined?
The next morning, Wang Cheng was waiting in the living room.
As soon as she saw Li Mo'er get out of bed, she pulled her into the kitchen.
Li Mo'er felt embarrassed to simply cook porridge like before.
But she wasn't very good at other things, so she cooked noodles and added more vegetables to them.
After Wang Cheng happily left with the food, she finally sat down and served herself a bowl.
However, we definitely can't eat like this in the future, otherwise even the great benefactor of Luo City will get tired of eating noodles every day.
So, after breakfast, she asked the cook to teach her how to make some simple stir-fries.
By the time her first pot of vegetables was ready, it was almost time for breakfast.
She had someone bring the plate of vegetables, which looked fairly appealing, to the table.
Li Mo'er sat at the table without eating, just watching them pick up food.
However, the chopsticks always cleverly avoided the plate of green vegetables.
She was anxious, but dared not show it too obviously, for fear that they would find out that she was the one who did it.
"Mo'er, why aren't you eating?"
Everyone else had noticed it long ago, but Li Mo'er just watched without moving her chopsticks.
"I've already eaten, you guys eat."
The others looked at Li Mo'er with suspicion. The food was all there; when had she eaten?
Su Yanli was aware of the situation, but he said nothing.
"Mo'er, eat this, this meat is really delicious."
Shen Zicen sat down next to her and casually picked up a piece of braised pork for Li Mo'er.
The braised pork was really good today, with perfect color, aroma and taste. He ate quite a lot of it.
Li Mo'er took a bite, and her eyes lit up instantly. It tasted really good. She would learn to make this braised pork at noon.
After she finished eating, she noticed the untouched plate of vegetables and frowned slightly.
She could only casually put some food on Shen Zicen's plate.
"Eat more vegetables and make sure your nutrition is balanced."
Shen Zicen looked at the vegetables in the bowl and muttered to himself.
"I'm not a child, I don't need a balanced diet."
Upon hearing this, Li Mo'er's eyes darted around, and she immediately picked up a chopstick and placed it on Su Yanli's plate.
"Eating more vegetables is good for children."
After Li Mo'er finished serving Su Yanli, she immediately turned around and stared at Shen Zicen.
She knew Yanli would definitely eat it, and she couldn't tell anything from his facial expression; Yanli always ate without any expression.
Shen Zicen saw that Mo'er was staring at him, so he could only put the vegetables into his mouth.
He closed his eyes, chewed, and frowned. "Why has the cook's skill declined?"
Upon hearing this, Li Mo'er lowered her head in disappointment.
"It's not as good as it used to be, but it's still passable."
Shen Zicen gave a fair assessment.
Li Mo'er's eyes lit up when she heard this. If the picky Shen Zicen said it was barely acceptable, then it must be alright.
She picked up some greens, tasted them, and found they tasted like ordinary greens, nothing special, but still edible.
Let's stir-fry some vegetables for Chu Xiaohuan for lunch today. As for braised pork, we'll see if we can make it.
Almost no one touched the plate of green vegetables on the table, except for Su Yanli, who ate more because Li Mo'er said it was "good for the child."
It was almost noon, and Li Mo'er went to the kitchen to prepare in advance. She had just finished stir-frying the vegetables when Su Yanli came in.
He stared blankly at the plated vegetables for a moment, "Ahem..."
The kitchen fumes were too strong, making him cough.
Li Mo'er noticed him, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and helped Su Yanli outside.
"It's too smoky inside, you can stay outside."
Su Yanli looked at the green vegetables on the table, "Those green vegetables..."
Li Mo'er wiped her cheeks shyly with the back of her hand, "I made it, not..." It was delicious.
Before Li Mo'er could finish speaking, Su Yanli spoke up.
"I know, I think it tastes great, it's light and refreshing."
Li Mo'er chuckled; she knew Yan Li would praise her.
"Then I'll save a small plate for you."
Su Yanli nodded, then covered her mouth and began to cough.
Li Mo'er was worried about his health, so she told him to go back to his room to rest.
Next, Li Mo'er began to tackle the main dish, braised pork.
However, her hands seemed to have a mind of their own, and she couldn't control the fire well either.
In the end, a pot of meat was cooked, some of which was burnt and some hadn't absorbed the flavor.
She sighed as she looked at the pot of meat, then glanced at the braised pork that the cook had cooked alongside hers, feeling utterly defeated.
"Li Mei, I'm here."
Li Mo'er was staring at the meat, looking worried, when Wang Cheng arrived.
She hurriedly put the vegetables she had prepared into the bamboo tube, but the vegetables with white rice were bland and tasteless.
However, she cooked the meat so poorly that she was embarrassed to show it.
But thinking that I couldn't be too stingy when I was giving food to others, I picked out a few pieces of braised pork made by the cook and put one that was barely presentable from my own pot into the pot.
No matter what, if even one piece of meat in this dish was made by her, then this dish was made by her.
