Chapter 294
Then he looked at the pile of complicated ingredients in his hand.
"You're right."
Yao Shi nodded; Milutin's words made sense.
You can't rush things; she really should start learning from the very basics.
"I'll find you some online tutorials and supervise you here."
"Cooking isn't just about mindlessly throwing in a bunch of seasonings. Remember that."
"Let's start with simple dishes, like this one."
Milutin quickly opened a recipe for a fragrant soup and held it up in front of Yao Shi.
The requirements for ingredients and seasonings are clearly stated.
That way, Yao Shi won't have to waste her time here all by herself anymore...
"Shall we... give it a try?"
Yao Shi nodded and pulled Milutin into her arms.
She wanted to prepare another dinner party for the young master tonight...
Chapter Fourteen: Unexpected Developments
Milutin, looking exhausted, leaned against one side.
Looking at Yao Shi, who was still diligently following the online tutorial to make soup, I smiled helplessly.
She's really persistent; sometimes she really admires Yao Shi's perseverance.
Even if it's just to regain the young master's approval, Yao Shi doesn't need to go to such lengths.
Although Yao Shi did make a big mistake last time, creating a dish that no human could possibly eat.
But from the starting point, she did nothing wrong.
However, the cooking skills were indeed somewhat unsatisfactory.
But the young master did not have any dissatisfaction with Yao Shi because of that incident.
Instead, he later comforted Yao Shi and told her not to take it to heart.
"However, for Yao Shi, the young master's comfort might be more painful than his scolding."
Milutin glanced at the bone broth beside him and said casually.
He brought the bone broth to his lips and took a small sip.
It was bland and tasteless, with absolutely no bone flavor from the broth.
Instead, it felt like they had simply thrown the bones into water and boiled them for a while.
It's like boiled cabbage in plain water, completely tasteless.
Instead, it has a fishy smell, which is something you get when the bones aren't properly prepared.
"But even so, this is already a significant improvement."
Milutin cracked his stiff neck, producing a crisp sound.
She's been watching Yao Shi cook soup for quite a while now.
I thought this time it would be just like last time, making a complete mess of the place.
She even imagined being tormented by Yao Shi until she was on the verge of fainting.
But the other party's current behavior has far exceeded her expectations.
"You've really improved a lot. How long have you been secretly practicing all by yourself?"
"This can't be the second time you've cooked, and you didn't even tell me about it."
Milutin put down the small dish of bone broth in his hand and smiled maliciously.
In her memory, the last time Yao Shi cooked was when she was a complete novice.
Although Yao Shi is still relatively new to this.
However, this represents a significant change from the previous complete ignorance.
Whether it's the technique of handling ingredients or the mastery of seasonings.
Judging from Yao Shi's appearance, she doesn't seem like someone who's only tried cooking before.
"From that day on, I would use a little time every night to study."
Yao Shi stood silently in front of the fire, gazing at the fragrant soup in the pot.
I pinched a little salt and sprinkled it gently into the pot.
She couldn't bear to cook such inedible dishes for the young master.
It's really terrible that she can't even cook, considering she's a personal maid.
Moreover, if she could continue to stay by the young master's side in a different capacity in the future.
If the young master hadn't learned to cook back then... he would have been very disappointed...
"Milutin, would you please have another taste?"
Thinking of this, Yao Shi felt her cheeks getting slightly hot.
He shook his head vigorously to shake off the thoughts deep in his mind.
Simmer the fragrant soup over low heat, then use a spoon to scoop out a portion and put it into a bowl.
"I come to study every day..."
Milutin was also taken aback after hearing Yao Shi's explanation.
Although she had suspected it might be true, she never expected it to actually be.
It seems that the young master's evaluation is truly a priceless treasure for Yao Shi.
In order to truly please the young master, Yao Shi actually came here every day to secretly learn.
No wonder Yao Shi has such a clear understanding of various seasonings.
So they'd already been practicing for a while...
I won't fail twice if I've failed once before.
"Try it, I think it's pretty good compared to the previous one."
Yao Shi brought the fragrant soup to Milutin.
A hint of expectation rose in her cold eyes.
"I hope so..."
Milutin stared at the thick soup in front of her, her eyes twitching.
To be fair, she had already drunk no less than ten small bowls in those few hours.
She's not a water buffalo; is it really okay to keep feeding her like this?
Moreover, all the soups tasted pretty much the same, and her mouth was almost completely filled with the fishy smell.
Although Yao Shi's diligent and conscientious spirit deserves respect.
But why did Yao Shi insist on making me drink it instead of Yaoshi?
"Huh? This tastes like this??"
As he savored the bone broth in Yao Shi's bowl, Milutin exclaimed in surprise.
What's going on? She didn't taste any fishy smell in this bone broth.
Instead, it has a savory aroma of pork bones and a sweet taste of carrots.
These two flavors go surprisingly well together.
"How about it?"
Yao Shi clenched her small hands and looked nervously at Milutin in front of her.
There were only about two hours left before the young master got out of school.
If this still doesn't work, she'll have to give up today.
"Um..."
Milutin smacked his lips.
He glanced at Yao Shi first, then seemed to fall into a state of doubt.
After a long silence, Milutin took the porcelain bowl from Yao Shi and took another sip of bone broth.
"Unbelievable, it tastes great, the fishy and greasy tastes are completely gone."
Milutin stared wide-eyed, saying in disbelief.
This was not her imagination; the bone broth that Yao Shi made this time was indeed very delicious.
Although it is incomparable to the bone broth made by professional chefs.
But Yao Shi's ability to achieve this far exceeded her expectations.
"I'll try it."
Yao Shi glanced at Milutin with some suspicion.
Fearing that Milutin was teasing her, she quickly scooped up a spoonful of bone broth and took a small sip.
The rich aroma of pork bones instantly filled my mouth.
The previous fishy and rotten smell was completely gone.
The white bone broth was topped with golden oil.
An enticing aroma is slowly wafting out of the pot.
"What did you do? How did you do it?"
"This is on a completely different level from the pots you cooked before."
Milutin stared at Yao Shi in disbelief.
The bone broth still had that fishy smell.
How come this pot looks like it was made by a completely different person?
"Didn't you tell me to do this? You have to follow the instructions online."
The tension that had been building up finally eased.
Yao Shi held up her phone so that Milutin could see the tutorial being displayed.
A gentle, spring-like smile suddenly appeared on her previously icy face.
"Milutin, we did it."
Yao Shi gazed tenderly at the bone broth that had been simmering in front of her.
That's great, now we just need to wait for the young master to return...
"Ah, it worked! It's unbelievable..."
Milutin covered her forehead and leaned to one side.
She thought it would be another uneventful afternoon, but Yao Shi actually managed to do it.
But that's good, because both the young master and Yao Shi will be very happy.
"Milutin, it's not enough for the young master to just drink soup. Let's prepare some simple food."
Yao Shi put the lid on the cooked bone broth.
It was placed on the stove behind him as if he were holding a precious treasure.
Reaching out to gently stroke the edge of the casserole, the scalding heat instantly filled Yao Shi with a sense of pride.
