138: After the modification: Chapter 138 Too Hasty 138: After the modification: Chapter 138 Too Hasty Wu Xiaoyu’s sudden appearance made Li Yujia a bit happy, but also somewhat embarrassed, instantly causing her to become flustered and forget all the steps Fourth Grandma had just taught her.

Qin Xiangqin noticed that ever since Wu Xiaoyu entered the kitchen, her niece seemed distracted, and thought it was because Li Yuqi had dumped Wu Xiaoyu.

Trying to break the awkwardness, she asked, “Xiaoyu, I heard you’ve found a city girl.

Is it true?”

This question made Li Yujia even more embarrassed, her mind in disarray, and she quickly said, “Grandma, I…

I’ll go wash some more mushrooms!”

Wu Xiaoyu cleared his throat and explained, “Fourth Grandma, that’s just a rumor from the villagers.

She just came to buy some free-range chickens!”

Qin Xiangqin had heard that the girl had already admitted it herself, so she didn’t believe Wu Xiaoyu’s explanation.

She smiled and said, “You silly boy, what are you embarrassed about?

Finding a city girl means you have some skills!”

Sometimes, the more you try to explain something people are convinced of, the more it seems like you’re hiding something, making it worse.

Isn’t that the truth?

With a helpless sigh, Wu Xiaoyu changed the subject, “Fourth Grandma, this mushroom sauce you make is really delicious!”

Qin Xiangqin knew he didn’t want to continue the topic, but still advised plainly, “I don’t understand you youngsters’ business, and I don’t want to interfere either!”

“But Jiajia is a good girl.

Don’t let Yuqi’s matter cause trouble between you two!

I noticed that since you came in, neither of you spoke a word.

Is it really necessary?”

Wu Xiaoyu then realized that Fourth Grandma had noticed the awkwardness between them, but luckily she didn’t know the real reason.

Otherwise…

While he was lost in thought because of her words, Qin Xiangqin suddenly shouted towards the door, “Jiajia, that’s enough!

You don’t need to wash so many mushrooms.

Come in and I’ll show you how to make mushroom sauce.”

Upon hearing this, Li Yujia strained the washed mushrooms, slowly returned to the kitchen, sneaked a glance at Wu Xiaoyu, and then fixed her eyes on Grandma, watching how she made the mushroom sauce.

“Xiaoyu, don’t just stand there!

Come over and take a look.

You might need this when you get married!” Qin Xiangqin joked, though she actually wanted to help ease the embarrassment between the two.

Should he go over?

Would this be considered stealing the technique?

Wu Xiaoyu hesitated, but finally said straightforwardly, “Fourth Grandma, I’m here today to ask you to teach me the secret of making mushroom sauce.

Can I really come over to learn from you?”

Qin Xiangqin, upon hearing this, hesitated a bit.

A young lad wanting to learn how to make sauce from her?

It seemed a bit unbelievable!

One must know that several times she had tried to teach her nieces-in-law how to make the sauce, and they were all unwilling to learn because the method was a bit complicated.

And since the villagers aren’t the type to care about nuances in food, as long as it’s rich and flavorful, they think it’s delicious.

Who would bother to learn such a refined thing?

“You mean you want to learn making sauce from me?” she asked after being silent for a long time.

Wu Xiaoyu, always a straightforward person who didn’t like hiding things and definitely wouldn’t deceive others, blurted out all his thoughts:

“Fourth Grandma, this is the thing!

I want to start a small factory to produce mushroom sauce, so I’d like to learn the recipe from you!”

Before they could react, Wu Xiaoyu continued, “I won’t learn for free.

I can pay you, consider it…

a technology transfer fee!”

Qin Xiangqin laughed out loud at his mention of a technology transfer fee, saying jokingly, “Do you think I’m someone who only cares about money?

If you really want to learn, I won’t take a single penny!”

Without waiting for Wu Xiaoyu to argue, she continued, “Jiajia also said she wanted to learn how to make mushroom sauce from me and sell it in town.

You two really have a tacit understanding!”

Li Yujia blushed immediately upon hearing this, busily fussing with the sauce in silence.

Qin Xiangqin realized her words might have been a bit inappropriate and hurriedly changed the topic, “Alright, let’s not talk nonsense!

If you want to learn, come quickly and help grandma out.”

Wu Xiaoyu moved forward, standing next to Li Yujia, assisting in passing things, while nervously eyeing Qin Xiangqin’s every move.

Qin Xiangqin taught them the steps of making the sauce hands-on, including the amount of ingredients, heat control, and even the stirring times and directions.

Forcing himself to focus on the mushroom sauce, Wu Xiaoyu inadvertently touched Li Yujia’s hand while passing the mushrooms.

Both of them drew back in shock, as if electrocuted.

The mushrooms inevitably fell to the ground under gravity.

They both bent down to pick them up.

Wu Xiaoyu, being taller, accidentally brushed his nose against her hair.

Li Yujia noticed it, stood up hurriedly and accidentally hit her nose against Wu Xiaoyu’s, which made him feel dizzy, with a sore nose and a faint taste of blood.

Seeing Wu Xiaoyu’s nose bleeding because of her, Li Yujia panicked and said, “Brother Xiaoyu, your nose…”

Wu Xiaoyu wiped his upper lip, feeling the warm blood, realizing he had a nosebleed, so he pinched his nose to stop the bleeding.

Li Yujia quickly pulled him to the hall to manage the bleeding.

Qin Xiangqin, watching their actions, couldn’t help but laugh, thinking how much they seemed like a newlywed couple.

Upon arriving in the hall, Li Yujia quickly grabbed some tissue for him to wipe the blood and then rolled some more to stuff his nostrils once the bleeding slowed down.

After finishing all this, she finally seemed to realize something, stepped back flusteredly, and slowly said, “You should go home first.

Come back another day to learn how to make mushroom sauce with Grandma.”

After saying this, Li Yujia was about to leave when Wu Xiaoyu grabbed her hand and asked seriously, “What do you think of me?”

Li Yujia froze for a moment and then said sadly, “You…

you’re very good!

Brave, decisive, and always willing to help others…”

Wu Xiaoyu interrupted her, asking assertively, “I mean, do you like me?”

Li Yujia, not expecting such a direct question, panicked and tried to break free, saying, “You’re hurting me!”

Wu Xiaoyu, realizing he was holding on too tightly, loosened his grip slightly and Li Yujia broke free and ran to the kitchen to tell Fourth Grandma something before hurrying away.

Did I rush things?
