561 None Of Them Can Cook
Hu Yu smiled. “Count me in. My culinary skills are very good.”
Liu Yuanyuan, who did not even know how to start a fire, looked at Hu Yu. “Do you really know how to cook?”
Hu Yu patted her chest. “Of course.”
Even if her culinary skills weren’t outstanding, it couldn’t possibly be too bad.
!!
Liu Yuanyuan said coldly, “Then, you start the fire. I’ll chop the chicken. You’ll be in charge of cooking later.”
In any case, she and Su Yanyu didn’t know how to cook.
Hu Yu nodded. “No problem!”
Hu Yu looked at the stove that was stuffed with firewood and said, “You stuffed too much wood inside. It’s impossible to start a fire this way.”
Liu Yuanyuan snorted. “Stop teaching me.”
Su Yanyu washed the chicken and handed it to Liu Yuanyuan.
Liu Yuanyuan held the kitchen knife. She recalled that when Liu Sanniang chopped the chicken, the size of the chicken nuggets was consistent. However, this chicken was chopped into nuggets of irregular size by Su Yanyu. Liu Yuanyuan was speechless…
Hu Yu quickly started the fire. “Hurry up. The fire is burning.”
The first step was to blanch the chicken.
The second step was to fry it.
But before long, the fire was gone.
Liu Yuanyuan looked at Hu Yu. “What’s wrong? Why did the fire go out?”
Hu Yu stood up. “Why are you shouting at me? You didn’t ask me to add firewood.”
Liu Yuanyuan’s snake eyes were cold. Was there a need to say it?
Seeing that the two of them were about to fight, Su Yanyu intervened in a low voice. “Ladies, don’t argue. We need to make the soup before Miss Liu wakes up.”
Liu Yuanyuan calmed down. “Start the fire again.”
Hu Yu sat back down.
It was not that easy to make a pot of chicken soup.
Hu Yu did not know how to do it at all!
She held the salt jar and poured almost half of it down.
Liu Yuanyuan watched the fire, but she added too much firewood, causing the fire to quickly go out.
When Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan came down and saw this scene, they smiled. “It’s best if you guys don’t enter the kitchen.”
When Liu Yuanyuan heard Liu Sanniang’s voice, she immediately ran over. “Venerable, are you feeling better?”
Hu Yu was a step slower. She ran up to Liu Sanniang. “Venerable, I’m here to repay you.”
Hu Yu blew at Liu Sanniang three times and said, “I’ll blow at you three times a day. I guarantee that you’ll be healthy and rich and live a long life.”
This was something Liu Yuanyuan could not do.
Liu Yuanyuan was good at fighting, but in terms of curing illnesses, she was far inferior.
Liu Yuanyuan did not speak.
Liu Sanniang looked at Hu Yu. “I don’t need you to repay me.”
Hu Yu seemed to have known that Liu Sanniang would say this. She shook her head. “I have to repay you on behalf of my mother. You don’t need me, but your family might do.”
Hu Yu looked at Liu Yuanyuan. “Other things aside, you are definitely not as good as me in terms of treating illnesses. You can protect Miss Liu’s family from external danger while I can help Miss Liu’s family flourish.”
Liu Yuanyuan looked away from Hu Yu.
Liu Sanniang was a little tempted. She did not need Hu Yu to protect her, but if Hu Yu could protect her family like Liu Yuanyuan, it would be good.
Liu Sanniang nodded. “Alright, let’s take a trip back home in two days.”
Hu Yu smiled. “Yay, I can finally see Old Madam.”
Without the resentment of the flood dragon, Jiangzhou had already returned to normal. With Xia Hongming and Xia Hongyuan around, it was not difficult to rebuild the city.
Liu Sanniang rested for two more days. On the third day, she prepared to leave and return to Yong County.
She looked at Su Yanyu. “Young marquis, are you going back to the capital?”
Su Yanyu looked at Liu Sanniang. “Can I go with you? I don’t want to return to the capital for the time being.”
He wanted to be Liu Sanniang’s disciple, but now, there were two powerful demons protecting Liu Sanniang. What else could he do?
As long as Liu Sanniang did not chase him away, he would follow her.
Liu Sanniang smiled faintly. “Alright, let’s go back together.”
Su Yanyu did not know that unknowingly, Liu Sanniang had started to treat him as her companion.
It took ten days to return to Yong County from Jiangzhou. Coupled with sightseeing on the way, it was already mid-November when they arrived.
The weather was getting cold.
Yong County had not changed much from previous years.
Liu Sanniang knocked on the door and Madam Liu’s voice came from inside. “Who is it?”
“An, go and open the door.”
Madam Liu called her eldest daughter-in-law, Tang An, to open the door. Tang An nodded and went to open the door. As soon as she opened the door and saw Liu Sanniang, she was stunned on the spot and suddenly shouted. “Mother, come quickly.”
As soon as Tang An shouted, Madam Liu thought that something had happened and quickly ran out of the house.
...
Seeing Liu Sanniang, Madam Liu exclaimed. She covered her mouth in disbelief and tears welled up in her eyes. “Sanniang…”
Liu Sanniang went forward and reached out to hug Madam Liu. Her voice was sweet and soft. “Mother, I’m back.”
When Madam Liu heard this voice that she missed day and night, she immediately cried tears of joy.
Tang An looked at Su Yanyu, Chu Yan, and the others and smiled. “Come in.”
“You’re the sister-in-law of Venerable Liu, right? You’re really beautiful.”
Hu Yu grabbed Tang An’s hands and said with a smile.
Tang An blushed. Ever since she married Liu Dalang, she had been living a good life. Her face was getting rosier, and her figure was no longer skinny.
“Thank you. You’re beautiful too.”
Tang An looked at Hu Yu and was a little surprised. How could there be such a beautiful person? Her eyes were sparkling, and when she smiled, people could not take their eyes off her.
Hu Yu was a fox and was born beautiful. Of course, she also tried to be polite. After all, it was very important to leave a good impression on Liu Sanniang’s family.
Liu Yuanyuan smiled faintly. “My name is Liu Yuanyuan. It’s the first time we met. I especially prepared this necklace for you.”
...
Liu Yuanyuan gave Tang An a black jade necklace.
How could Hu Yu be outdone? She held Tang An’s hand and placed a pair of ruby-like earrings in her palm. “My name is Hu Yu. These earrings would suit you perfectly.”
