Chapter 1274: Chapter 1274: Simple Problem

The next day, Chu Liyuan went to work at the company early in the morning, and Jian Dan, after breakfast, sat on the sofa alone gnawing at a thick cookbook, preparing for tomorrow’s dinner.

This was the first time Jian Dan felt that reading was such an uncomfortable thing.

She recognized every word in the book and understood the combined meaning, but why was it completely different when it came to actually doing it?

After a morning of research, Jian Dan still had no insights, so she decided to do some practical cooking in the afternoon.

After lunch, Jian Dan locked herself in the kitchen alone.

From time to time, there were clinking and clanging sounds in the kitchen.

"Miss, are you alright? Please open the door quickly! You’ve been in the kitchen for quite a long time," Jin leaned her ear against the kitchen door.

"Jin, I’m fine, just go about your business, don’t worry about me!"

But Jin hadn’t even moved a step away! She remembered the time they almost set the kitchen on fire.

Jin wasn’t worried about the kitchen having any problems; she was worried about Jian Dan! If Jian Dan got even a little hurt, the young master would be heartbroken.

"Grandma, mom has been inside for a long time, right? Are you sure everything’s okay? Should we use the spare key to open the door and check? I hope nothing bad happens," Jian Xiaokai said to Jin.

Jin turned around and saw four kids had arrived at the kitchen, "But the missus told me not to disturb her."

"I know my mom very well; she can’t cook at all! I’m not worried she’ll dismantle the kitchen, but I’m worried she might get hurt!" Originally, when Jian Dan was alone with Jian Xiaokai and Xiaoxin, Ling Xiaoyang would cook for them. If Ling Xiaoyang was out on a mission, they would order takeout. Later, as he got older, the cooking duty fell on him.

"Yes! Grandma, the kitchen and mom just don’t get along; she gets hurt eight out of ten times she goes in," Xiaoxin also said anxiously.

"Okay! I’ll go get it right now!"

Soon, Jin brought the kitchen’s spare key...

Although the door was opened, they couldn’t see Jian Dan because the entire kitchen was engulfed in white smoke and they couldn’t see clearly inside.

"Miss~"

"Mom~"

"Mom~"

After calling for a long time, they finally saw a figure emerge from the smoke, face covered in black soot, "Cough cough cough~cough cough~"

"Miss, are you alright?" Jin asked worriedly after seeing Jian Dan’s appearance.

"It’s okay, just a bit choked!"

"Mom, this isn’t just a bit of choking!" Jian Xiaokai pointed to the smoke-filled kitchen behind Jian Dan.

"To come out alive from such an environment is truly a miracle!" Kuaikuai remarked.

"Although it was a bit difficult, it’s all worth it, ta-da~ look, this is my creation." Jian Dan brought out a platter of something pitch-black, completely indistinguishable.

"Mom, what you made is..." Jian Xiaokai began.

"Are you sure this stuff is edible?" Xiaoxin also chimed in.

"Why couldn’t it be edible, this is the best dish I made!" Jian Dan spoke proudly.

"Ah? The best dish?"

"Yes! You guys should try it and give me some feedback."

"I think this stuff is edible, only that we’ll end up in the hospital collectively after eating!" Kuaikuai retorted again.

"Why are you all so discouraging to Mom?" Jian Dan said, disappointed, then suddenly her gaze shifted to Qian Lele, the corners of her mouth perked up, "I knew Qian Lele is the best, you didn’t dislike mommy, come and taste it for mommy."

"Mom, I love you, you don’t have to doubt that, so we don’t need to prove it this way, right?" Qian Lele looked troubledly at the dish in Jian Dan’s hand.

"It seems I really have no talent for cooking at all!" Jian Dan dejectedly brought the dish back into the kitchen.
