Chapter 191: The natural poison talent

"Pardon?" Long Haoran didn’t hear quite clearly.

"I said, I don’t know a thing about cooking. Chef Long, why exactly did you ask me that for?" Li Chunhua cleared her thought and rephrased her words.

"Have you ever thought of learning the craft on your own just in case I will not be able to prepare the meals..." Long Haoran couldn’t even finish his words when someone grabbed his apron tightly.

The question translated into advance eulogy speech in the foodie’s ears. Li Chunhua widened her eyes. Chef Long must be traumatized from the Lich earlier. She should have whipped its corpse first!

In an expression worse than when her food was accidentally spilled on the ground, Li Chunhua looked at Long Haoran while clutching his pink apron, "Don’t say that Chef Long! You’ll live longer than 100 years...200 years...1000 years or more than this planet and even when you’re wrinkly, old and all your teeth falls off, you’ll still live, with me around."

1000 years? We’ll be just be ashes then...

Ripp-

What was that?

"I was just kidding." Long Haoran hurriedly retrieved his previous statement after he caught tiny sounds of something being ripped.

Li Chunhua heaved a huge sigh of relief and let go, patting her chest. "Chef Long, let’s hurry up. I’m so hungry. What do you need me to do?"

Long Haoran saw the white pieces of fabric falling on the pink floor. Is that his shirt? He tugged his apron to peek inside, and confirmed it really was. Good thing, it was not his pants that got pulled otherwise...

He dared not think about it further.

Erasing the thoughts off his mind, he taught her a simple dish, making an omelet.

Despite not knowing how to cook, Li Chunhua was an eager student and listened attentively to Chef Long’s instruction.

First beat the egg, add a pinch of salt and pepper. Pre-heat the wok, add a small amount of oil, when the heat is enough, and pour the egg mixture. Let the other side cook until it’s no longer runny before gently flipping the other side. Repeat the process and she’s done.

Li Chunhua memorized the instruction and nodded. "A piece of cake! Chef Long watch me."

Long Haoran placed the bowl, salt, pepper, and three myriad eggs beside her.

Li Chunhua pushed the knife and chopping board aside and grabbed one egg. "First, I need to crack the egg...crack the egg...crack the egg..." She mumbled repeatedly.

Long Haoran also started preparing the chicken of the woods while keeping an eye on her. Once he noticed strangeness, he will take note of it and apply it later on his cooking.

He carried the bowl of mushrooms onto the sink and washed them using the water in the barrel while still observing her movements.

Just when he thought he could learn something, Li Chunhua called him, "Chef Long, Chef Long...I crushed the egg." She miscalculated and used too much strength. She wasted food. Her expression was downcast. What piece of cake? She failed at the first step. So embarrassing.

Long Haoran turned around and saw her hand was full of the whites and egg yolk, and it was dripping on the floor. Slowly, he walked towards her and used his apron to wipe her hand. "It’s not a big deal. You still have two eggs." After wiping her hand, he went back to the sink.

Not a big deal? She lost an omelet. She should be grieving for it.

Never mind, she still has two tries...

Li Chunhua grabbed the second egg cautiously as possible like it was thing could shatter at the slight mistake. Using a gentlest force, she knocked it against the edge of the table and the result was...

"Chef Long...Chef Long...I failed again..."

Long Haoran had watched her in silent and when she failed twice, he went back and wiped her hand without saying anything.

In the midst, Li Chunhua spoke, her voice was trembling, "Chef Long, I give up. Can you make the omelet instead? I’m not destined to ever cook in my life. I’m not ambitious and I’m contented to be just be a stove keeper." She wasted food twice and for her it was crime.

Long Haoran’s hands wiping her hand stopped for a second when he detected the sadness in her voice. His mouth opened and spoke ahead of his brain, spouting a lie. "My first time cooking an omelet and I wasted a whole tray."

1 whole tray?!

Chef Long who cooks so delicious to the point she forgets her name actually had such a past?

"Really?" Li Chunhua’s spirit was revived and her sorrow turned into a motivation. Then if she can cook omelet in her third try then isn’t she a better newbie than Chef Long? Her face brightened like a flower. Isn’t it just beating an egg, she beat a lot of people with her fists in the past, she can do it too!

"Chef Long, you can rest assure, I will cook omelet tonight and it would be so delicious that you would go straight to heaven!" Li Chunhua rolled her sleeves.

Long Haoran didn’t stare directly at her eyes and just nodded. Seeing her smiling again, he returned to sink and watched her again in silent.

In the third time using only 0.0001% of strength, the motivated egg smasher finally succeeded but the egg in the bowl was full of egg shells. She let out loud laugh of victory after overcoming the first hurdle, causing Long Haoran to raise the corner of his lips. Looks like his lying was effective.

"I did it!" Li Chunhua shouted in happiness.

Li Chunhua tossed a pinch of salt and pepper in the eggshell mixture before gently stirring using the chopsticks, again with a small force exerted. "Stir...Stir..."

Long Haoran couldn’t see through the bowl and her eggshell masterpiece and also saw her stopped stirring and lighting the stove.

He followed her movements until he remembered the pots which he used to soak the lotus roots and meat. He walked towards the table pushed against the corner and lifted the lids of the pots.

The strong smell of the aromatic brine drifted under his nose. He went to take a bowl and his ladle to scoop some of the meat and lotus roots.

During his inattention, the strongly confident Li Chunhua quickly heated the wok. She tossed much firewood inside while checking the heat with her palm. But she didn’t feel even a tiny bit of warmth due to her insane fire immunity. She stuffed firewood again but still felt nothing. "Not hot enough..."

Li Chunhua kept repeating the process until the fire seemingly became an entity and crawled towards her feet she could finally feel the warmth and poured small amount of oil and tongue of flames erupted after the oil touched the wok.

Literally in the midst of the fire, she poured the eggshell mixture inside and just two seconds later, there was a tiny explosion. She coughed the black smoke and looked over the wok.

⊙.☉ My Omelet is so.....beautiful!

Long Haoran sensed something was wrong and immediately turned around only to see the walls near the stove had charcoal burned marks and standing near the stove was Xiao Hua stained in charcoal from head to toe and holding a plate and there was a golden omelet in it.

"Chef Long, I made it!" Li Chunhua walked towards him to show her masterpiece. "How is it?"

The color was spot on, the appearance fluffy and moist, and even the scent was nice. the only problem was...

[-Upon intake, insta kill.]

Long Haoran: (＠_＠;) She really made an omelet that can send someone straight to heaven.

"How was it?" Li Chunhua excitedly waited for the man’s praise.

For a second time, Li Chunhua found herself staring outside the kitchen door but this time she wasn’t sad but super happy when she recalled Chef Long’s words.

’I realized my skills is still lacking compared to yours. You can go outside and leave the cooking to me.’

Li Chunhua rubbed her chin, chuckling while walking towards the living room where the gluttons were waiting.

Seeing her so happy, Little Mantou asked, "Master, what made you smiling like a fool?"

Li Chunhua replied with pride, "Chef Long said my cooking skills is above him and I don’t need his lessons at all!"

That’s bulls*t. There’s no way Chef Long would say that!

Little Mantou’s face had cramps.

To worsen it the two other gluttons actually rushed towards the poison maker and said...

"Kya!" (Mama, cook for me too!)

"Ji ji ji." (Master, why did you hide your talent? Give me a taste!)

Little Mantou: (￣_￣|||) These two have death wishes.
