Chapter 297

"Milutin? What are these two dishes?"

Wu Liang was stunned when he saw the two dishes that were so familiar to him.

In his original world, he actually ate these two dishes quite often.

After all, it's relatively simple to make, and the ingredients are very easy to prepare.

He occasionally cooks a few dishes when he's home alone.

"This was made by Yao Shi and me. Anyway, Yao Shi prepared a lot of ingredients, so I just used some of them."

"We can't let Yao Shi be busy all the time, so I did some simple things while I was helping out."

"But I'm not very good at using a kitchen knife, so I had to trouble Yao Shi to chop the vegetables for me."

Milutin scratched the back of his head and chuckled sheepishly.

He discreetly hid his right hand, which had several bandages on it, behind his back.

Ugh... damn it... kitchen knives are really notoriously difficult to use...

When she used to cook on the battlefield, she would just make a couple of quick cuts with her military knife or dagger.

But cooking for the young master can't be done so carelessly; at least the ingredients must be cut neatly according to the instructions.

But Milutin didn't expect that a kitchen knife would be completely different from a military knife.

It's incredibly difficult to use. Is that thing really for cutting vegetables?

I really don't know how Yao Shi managed to master the kitchen knife so quickly.

"Made by Sister Milutin? It looks pretty good."

Standing in front of the table, Xiao Ai looked at the two dishes on the table with some surprise.

Although this is a dish that couldn't be simpler.

However, it looks quite good in terms of both color and shape.

The taste was normal, and there was nothing strange about it.

"Really? Haha, actually I put in a lot of effort to make these two dishes."

Milutin smiled shyly as she listened to Xiao Ai's praise.

A blush appeared on Milutin's cheeks.

She actually wanted to make some more complicated dishes.

But she and Yao Shi... well... those who know, know... I won't elaborate here...

In fact, she and Yao Shi spent two or three hours researching how to make these two dishes perfectly...

"It really is..."

Wu Liang smelled the aroma of the dishes; it was indeed the authentic taste.

Although the shredded potatoes look a bit sticky, it's not a big problem; it's just that the starch wasn't washed off properly.

He really didn't expect that this mercenary and the assassin could improve so quickly.

"Young Master, Yao Shi has been secretly practicing cooking without telling you."

"Ever since her last failure, Yao Shi has been determined to make a dish that will satisfy you again."

Milutin pushed the cutlery in front of Wu Liang and smiled slyly.

Yao Shi's devotion to the young master is probably dozens of times stronger than hers.

This time, the young master will definitely be very surprised by the dishes.

"Miss Shi Yaoshi, let us maids prepare it. You've been busy all afternoon, how can we let you do these things?"

After seeing Yao Shi come out of the kitchen, Xiao Ai hurriedly called to the maids around her.

Miss Shi Yaoshi holds a very high position as the young master's personal maid.

How could we let Miss Shi and Miss Milutin do such a simple task as serving dishes themselves?

This is what she and her companions, as maids, should do.

Miss Shi Yaoshi and the others didn't need to go to this extent at all.

"Thank you for your help. There are still some snacks inside, please go and get them."

Yao Shi nodded slightly as she looked at the group of maids in front of her.

To be honest, she does feel a bit tired right now.

I started preparing this morning, and it's been almost 9 hours now.

Although most of the time was spent trying and creating a bunch of failed products.

But cooking is indeed a time-consuming and laborious task.

Yao Shi felt that she had never experienced such a headache, not even when she was an assassin.

"Wow... it smells so good... Miss Shi Yaoshi, what's in here?"

Xiao Ai gently took the casserole from Yao Shi's hands.

The aroma wafting from the lid made her swallow hard.

Is this really a dish made by Miss Shi? It's from a completely different world than the last dish.

You don't even need to look to know this must be delicious; the aroma is really appetizing.

"It's a bone broth, you should try some."

Yao Shi patted Xiao Ai's head.

Looking towards Wu Liang's position, his usually cool eyes held only deep tenderness.

Young master will surely be very satisfied after tasting it...

"Young Master! This is bone broth that Miss Shi personally prepared! It smells so good!!"

"It must taste amazing! Young master, look!"

Xiao Ai took a deep sniff of the aroma emanating from the casserole.

A bright smile immediately appeared on Xiuya's face.

Carrying the bone broth, he jogged over to the table where Wu Liang and Milutin were sitting.

Miss Shi Yaoshi's efforts finally paid off, and the young master no longer had to suffer from those terrible dishes.

That's fantastic! This is the best of both worlds!!

"Milutin, have you seen the Misaka Sister pillow I put on the sofa before? I can't find it."

Just as Xiao Ai had run a few steps...

Suddenly, Yao Qing, dressed in Doraemon pajamas, emerged from a dark corner and stood in front of her.

"Ah!!"

Xiao Ai panicked when she saw Yao Qing appear before her like a ghost.

In a moment of panic, I hurriedly tried to stop.

The drawbacks of European-style long skirts that cover the legs are fully exposed at this moment.

The breeze from running lifted the hem of her skirt.

In addition, Xiao Ai's maid dress was already a little too long.

Xiao Ai's right foot stepped on the ribbon decoration at the edge of her skirt.

She suddenly felt a tightness under her feet, as if someone had grabbed her and she was thrown forward.

"Bone broth!!!"

Just as Xiao Ai was about to throw the pot to the ground, she stared blankly at the casserole dish she had thrown away.

The soup had already spilled out into the air, and she had thrown the entire jar high into the sky.

Oh no... oh no... Miss Shi spent a whole day painstakingly simmering the bone broth, and she spilled it all...

"What have I done...?"

Gazing at the approaching ground, Xiao Ai murmured blankly.

What on earth is she doing...? She destroyed the gift that Miss Shi was going to give to the young master...

Click...

The sound of the casserole shattering echoed throughout the hall.

The rich, fragrant soup, mixed with fragments of the clay pot, spilled all over the ground...

Chapter Seventeen: The Approved Dish

It's all over, absolutely all over. Miss Shi is definitely angry.

This is the only thought that remains in Xiao Ai's mind right now.

She messed things up; she spilled all the bone broth that Miss Shi Yao had painstakingly prepared.

That was a surprise Miss Shi Yaoshi wanted to give to the young master, a gift Miss Shi Yaoshi wanted to present to him.

However, this very valuable gift was ruined because of her...

She's such an idiot, she can't even do something this simple right.

"But why doesn't it hurt...?"

Xiao Ai, who hadn't felt the pain for a long time, slowly opened her eyes.

Instead of falling face-first to the ground, she landed in someone's arms.

Someone pulled her up just as she was about to fall.

"Lord Yao Qing..."

Xiao Ai stared wide-eyed at the androgynous face in front of her.

Her long, silvery hair fell across her cheeks.

A faint light flickered in his scarlet eyes.

However, Yao Qing did not look at her at this moment, but instead focused her gaze on what was in front of her.

Judging from the slightly strange expression on the other person's face, he was also a bit stiff now.

"That belongs to... Miss Shi..."

Xiao Ai followed Yao Qing's gaze and looked ahead.

Broken pieces of the casserole dish, mixed with the rich bone broth, spilled all over the floor.

The entire casserole dish was smashed to pieces.

"..."

Yao Qing stared silently at the bone broth in front of her.

Finally, his gaze fell upon the maid in his arms.

A flicker of self-reproach flashed in her crimson eyes.

"Can you stand up? Were you scared?"

Yao Qing slowly stood up and helped Xiao Ai up from her arms.

This was her mistake, and it had nothing to do with the girl.

He shouldn't have suddenly appeared in front of this little maid.

"I... I'm fine, but..."

Xiao Ai clutched her skirt tightly, her face pale as she murmured.

His gaze was fixed on the bone broth spilled on the ground.
