Chapter 228 Cutting the Pumpkin

Chapter 228: Chapter 228 Cutting the Pumpkin

Room Four.

Han Jiangxue didn’t feel cold in Ye Zhenzhen’s room with heating, but the moment she returned to her own room, the chill hit her instantly, starting from her toes and traveling up her legs, crisp and biting.

Shen Yibo entered the kitchen and took out the meat and vegetables from the basket one by one, looking at all this meat, the little guy was very happy.

As long as he had meat to eat, he was very happy.

Han Jiangxue looked at the potatoes, radishes, and the meat Shen Yibo took out and asked, "Yibo, what are you preparing to cook for me?"

Shen Yibo blinked his eyes, looked at the vegetables he had taken out and then at Han Jiangxue, "Hmm..."

After ’hmm’ing for half a minute, he smiled naively, "I’ll make you something delicious!"

Han Jiangxue: ...

[Pffhahaha, Little Yibo is such a naive one, hahaha.]

[Actually, I think Shen Yibo has a knack for comedy, lol, every time his response is so unconventional.]

[I thought he would say he’s going to eat meat, guess I was being too superficial, ahahaha.]

Don’t be fooled by Shen Yibo’s naïve looks; he was very serious when it came to food. He washed the pork belly, tenderloin, and chicken breast clean with water, then laid them on the cutting board, ready to start cutting.

Han Jiangxue said, "Son, let Mom help you."

"No need, I can do it myself."

Just yesterday, when Han Jiangxue was cooking braised pork, Shen Yibo had been watching the whole process, so he remembered how to cut the meat.

Xiao Chen had said he would make something delicious for Aunt Zhenzhen, so he also wanted to learn from Xiao Chen and seriously make a delicious meal for his mom.

Shen Yibo started cutting the meat, and naturally, Han Jiangxue wouldn’t just stand by idly. While she watched Shen Yibo’s movements, she helped peel the potatoes.

When she saw Shen Yibo cutting the tenderloin into large chunks, Han Jiangxue couldn’t help but frown, "Yibo, why are you cutting this lean meat into such big pieces?"

"Big pieces are tasty, Mom. Today I’m an adult, it’s my turn to cook. You just told Auntie and the others, whatever the kids make, you’ll eat, you have to have confidence in me.

So, don’t ask anymore, I will, just like Xiao Chen, make you a very, very delicious lunch!"

[Watching Shen Yibo cut the tenderloin, I have doubts about this meal.]

[Why care so much? Little Yibo remembers what she said, she’ll eat whatever the kid makes. Wait until she eats it, hahaha.]

[At this moment, I think the saying ’You can eat whatever, but watch what you say’ is quite fitting for Han Jiangxue.]

[To those above, if you don’t like it, don’t watch, don’t come to our Xiao Xue’s live stream for attention, scram.]

[Oyoy, some fans are getting antsy, haha, I’m not going anywhere, I’m staying to watch, just to see!]

Han Jiangxue gritted her teeth silently, smiling and nodding, "Okay, then Mom is looking forward to it."

The little fellow’s chubby face was brimming with smiles, which in Han Jiangxue’s eyes, somehow filled her with dread.

She always said this chubby kid couldn’t possibly be her own because he could never understand what she was thinking, refusing to compare himself with Song Yuchen when the moment called for it.

Now with cooking, what was there to compare?

Thinking this, Han Jiangxue didn’t want to interfere anymore. It didn’t matter how the little fatso cut things, as long as he didn’t hurt himself. At worst, she’d just guide him well while they were stir-frying later.

As long as the taste wasn’t bad, it didn’t really matter what the cuts looked like.

Furthermore, she was thinking of finding an excuse to have Shen Yibo go to Ye Zhenzhen to borrow that charcoal grill again.

Now that they had charcoal, that stove could be used, and surely placing it in her room would make it much warmer than it currently was.

Room Five.

The number of viewers in Xu Wanjia and Yang Yike’s live stream wasn’t much different from that of Ye Zhenzhen and Song Yuchen’s.

It was all because Xiao Yiyi and Xu Wanjia’s interaction was just too cute.

Xiao Yiyi was completely immersed in playing the role of ’Mommy’, and Xu Wanjia was very cooperative with her daughter.

Yang Yike: "Baby, is it okay if Mommy makes you egg with minced meat for lunch?"

Xu Wanjia nodded, "Yes, Mommy, whatever you make, I think it’s all delicious."

"Then baby, can you help me cut this meat?"

"Of course!"

Xu Wanjia held the knife and sliced the tenderloin that Yang Yike brought back into thin pieces, while Yang Yike picked vegetables on the side.

The little girl’s hands were tiny and white, and her creamy face was full of seriousness.

The scene looked both warm and adorable.

[The 101st time I want a daughter, I really want a daughter aaaaah]

[I hope I can have a daughter like Xiao Yiyi or Fang Xiaoyu in the future, they’re just too cute.]

[All these families seem so harmonious, except for An Xi and Gu Xiaoran, hahaha, I’m going to check out Gu Xiaoran’s place.]

[I’m going too, I’m going too.]

When the netizens arrived at An Xi and Gu Xiaoran’s place, they saw Gu Xiaoran holding a kitchen knife ’chopping’ pumpkin, while An Xi was cutting meat with a small knife.

Gu Xiaoran gripped the kitchen knife tightly with both hands and chopped down on the pumpkin, turning the small and somewhat old pumpkin into many unevenly sized pieces, which splattered all over the kitchen.

And An Xi, with a small knife, cut like she was engraving, very carefully, as if fearing she might cut herself...

"An Xi, I’m done chopping the pumpkin, do you know how to start a fire?" Gu Xiaoran asked An Xi.

An Xi was a bit flustered; she didn’t know how to start a fire either. The day before yesterday’s cooking was assisted by Han Jiangxue, and it was Ye Zhenzhen who helped yesterday.

Although she had made three dishes and a soup yesterday, she had been like a clockwork robot the whole time, doing whatever Ye Zhenzhen told her to do, adding whatever seasonings Ye Zhenzhen said to add.

As a result, her mind was completely blank right now.

Not knowing how to start a fire was one thing, but she didn’t want Gu Xiaoran to notice, so she gave a slight tilt of her chin and looked at the pile of haphazardly chopped pumpkin, "Shouldn’t we wash the vegetables before starting the fire?"

[Hahahaha! An Xi’s role reversal with Gu Xiaoran is very successful; An Xi seems even more clueless than Gu Xiaoran]

[The day before yesterday when cooking, An Xi didn’t start a fire to stir-fry, and now Gu Xiaoran is actually asking An Xi that question, hahaha]

[Actually, An Xi has made some progress. At least, she knows that the pumpkin should be cleaned after chopping.]

[That pumpkin hasn’t even been peeled, why is nobody mentioning that?]

[Hahaha, the pumpkin skin hasn’t been removed!]

Gu Xiaoran took out a colander, placed the pumpkin pieces in it, and rinsed them under the tap, with even the white pumpkin seeds still on them.

An Xi looked over and said, "Shouldn’t the seeds on the pumpkin be cleaned off? Otherwise, how do we eat it later?"

"Oh, these seeds need to be removed too..." Gu Xiaoran muttered doubtfully and then began to clean the seeds from the pumpkin.

After a series of operations, Gu Xiaoran was very satisfied with her achievement, "All clean now!"

[There’s still skin, you need to peel it!]

[Ranran, how are you going to eat the pumpkin without peeling it?]

[Seeing An Xi and Gu Xiaoran like this, I suddenly feel learning to cook is really important!]

[Yes, no matter what, you still need to learn a bit. Not cooking and not knowing how to cook are two different things.]
