Chapter 64 Cooking
"What's the matter?" Yun Lan turned her head absentmindedly to look at Yun Tai and asked casually, then looked at the setting sun in the distance. She felt her heart sinking with it, sinking into the endless abyss of darkness behind Wuyang Mountain.
"Sister, Zhuang Gaochi is dead! It's a good thing we didn't hire him at the beginning, otherwise the money would have been wasted." Yuntai didn't notice that his sister was in a strange mood. He limped quickly to her back and said.
"What? Zhuang Gaochi is dead!" When Yun Lan heard the news, it was like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and he almost jumped up.
"Yes, it's absolutely true! I have a classmate in the academy whose neighbor is an apprentice of Master Youlong." Yuntai thought Yunlan didn't believe it, so he emphasized his tone.
"When did he die?" Yun Lan asked immediately, as if she didn't hear Yun Tai's words.
"It is said to be in the morning." Yuntai replied.
"Morning!" Yun Lan was stunned again.
Could it be him? Is it really him? Impossible, how could he be so capable? But if it wasn't him, how could it be such a coincidence! First it was the Yanluo Gang, then Zhuang Gaochi!
"I heard that it was a hunchbacked old man who killed him. Wow, I heard that this hunchbacked old man was very powerful. Not only did he kick Zhuang Gaochi's leg to pieces, but he also chopped off his head with a knife. If only I had such a powerful ability, I could protect my sister." Yuntai added.
"Hunchbacked old man! Hunchbacked old man!" Yun Lan kept muttering to himself when he heard this.
"Sister, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with the hunchbacked old man?" Yun Tai saw that his sister was obviously absent-minded, and asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"Nothing, nothing." Yun Lan quickly shook her head, then took a deep breath, and suddenly smiled and said, "Come on, I'll take you to Zuihualou across the street for a good meal."
Qin Ziling, the instigator of what happened in the city, had no idea.
He was happy today and decided to relax for a day and stay at home. First, to see the effect of Liu Xiaoqiang's ointment; second, Qin Ziling was going to cook a table of delicious food himself.
"Young Master, you have already dealt with the python. Leave all the matters in the kitchen to me and you can go about your business." Yin Ranyue was startled when she saw Qin Ziling following her into the kitchen, and she said quickly.
"Haha, it's a rare day that I'm at home today, so I'll be the chef and prepare the whole table for you. You just help me." Qin Ziling said with a smile.
"Ah, you can't do that! You can't do that! What man is allowed to cook? Besides, you are a young master! Please go out. I'll do it here." Yin Ranyue was even more frightened when he heard that and waved his hands quickly.
"What's the matter with men's and young master's? We are all family, there is no need to divide so much. Besides, you have never cooked python meat, do you know how to cook it? And there are also chicken and rabbit meat today, how long will it take you to finish it by yourself?" Qin Ziling said with a smile.
Yin Ranyue's face turned red when she saw Qin Ziling mention his family. She lowered her head and fiddled with her clothes, still saying stubbornly, "There is a difference between the noble and the humble, Master. This won't do."
"Then I order you. I'll be the chef today and you'll be my assistant. Is that okay?" Qin Ziling said with a straight face as he looked at Yin Ranyue.
"Well, I'll listen to the young master!" Yin Ranyue looked up at Qin Ziling's stern face and did not dare to refute. She nodded somewhat aggrievedly.
"Hehe, today I will let you experience my cooking skills. I guarantee that it will be so delicious that you will even swallow your tongue into your stomach." Qin Ziling said proudly when he saw Yin Ranyue reluctantly agreed.
"Puchi!" Yin Ranyue couldn't help laughing out loud when she saw Qin Ziling's words were so exaggerated.
"Why? Don't you believe it?" Qin Ziling glared at him deliberately when he saw this.
"I believe it, of course I believe it!" Yin Ranyue nodded hurriedly.
"Ran Yue, you are obviously saying one thing and thinking another!"
"I didn't! No!" Yin Ranyue blushed and shook her head quickly.
"Haha, whether you have it or not, you'll know later that I'm not bragging!" Qin Ziling couldn't help but laugh when he saw this.
In order to make a living in his previous life, he went to a culinary school to learn cooking and opened a small restaurant.
In terms of cooking skills, he certainly cannot compare with the top chefs here, but thanks to the modern society and the highly developed Internet information age, the variety of novel dishes he can make is absolutely unmatched in this world.
Of course, Yin Ranyue, a little housemaid, could never compare with him.
"Then please tell Ranyue what preparations need to be made now." Looking at Qin Ziling's proud and happy face as he laughed heartily like a big boy, Ranyue couldn't help but chuckle. She thought, it's rare that the young master is in a playful mood, so she will let him do as he pleases for now. However, when he knows how tedious cooking is, she will have to find a way to make him step down, otherwise the young master will lose face.
"Prepare the onions, ginger and garlic first." Qin Ziling ordered.
"Okay." Yin Ranyue responded with a slight bow, thinking to herself, it's rare that the young master actually knows that cooking these game requires the use of onions, ginger and garlic to remove the odor.
" By the way, we have chili peppers and moong nuts at home, right?" Qin Ziling asked.
Moon kernel is a kind of nut in this world that is shaped a bit like a cashew, and its taste is somewhere between cashews and peanuts. Qin Ziling has never seen peanuts in this world, and what he originally needed was peanuts.
"Yes." Yin Ranyue replied.
"Then bring it to me." Qin Ziling gave the order casually while skillfully cutting the chicken breast from the pheasant and cutting it into dices.
This plump pheasant is the wild animal that Qin Ziling hunts most often. He has eaten it many times. The meat is not tough, but rather very tender. It is an excellent ingredient for making Kung Pao Chicken.
"Okay." Yin Ranyue responded.
After Yinranyue brought the chili peppers and moon nuts, Qin Ziling gave instructions for a lot of preparatory work in an orderly manner.
Yin Ranyue didn't know what Qin Ziling was going to do. She wanted to remind him several times that there was no need to be so complicated in cooking these dishes, but when she saw that Qin Ziling looked very interested, she swallowed the words back.
"Okay, I'll take care of the rest, you're responsible for lighting the fire." Qin Ziling said to Yin Ranyue when he saw that the materials were almost ready .
Yinranyue responded obediently and went to light the fire behind the stove.
The first dish Qin Ziling cooked was Kung Pao Chicken.
When the aroma of Kung Pao Chicken spread in the kitchen, Yin Ranyue, who was burning fire behind the stove, felt her nose twitch from time to time. She wanted to peek in several times to see what the young master was cooking and why it smelled so good. However, because Qin Ziling was lighting two pots at the same time, she had to look after two stoves and was afraid of missing the fire, so she didn't dare to pay attention.
