The Miracle Doctor's Two-Faced Toddler Novel - Chapter 72

Chapter 72: Good Culinary Skills

Shopkeeper Cui also realized that the sugar daddy’s expression was a little too dark. He cleared his throat awkwardly and said, “Master Xiao Wu’s aunt is going to celebrate her birthday. Aunt Xiao has always been thrifty and doesn’t want to make a big fuss, but Master Xiao Wu still wants to show his filial piety to her. His aunt is old and doesn’t have a good appetite. He heard that your family’s braised food is good, so he wanted to try it.”

When Shopkeeper Cui said this, he kept winking at the Yu family, afraid that they would not understand and neglect this esteemed guest.

If he knew that the Yu Family’s old residence had once entertained the little masters of the Young Master Manor, he probably wouldn’t have winked like he did now.

Of course, the Yu family would not misunderstand his good intentions. Moreover, Master Xiao Wu’s background was indeed extraordinary. His sworn brother was the current Grand Marshal of the dynasty, Xiao Zhenting. His biological sister was Wan Zhaoyi, who was the best in the harem. The aunt that Shopkeeper Cui mentioned was his only elder in the world. He treated her like his biological mother.

It was not good to say these words in front of the Yu family.

However, Shopkeeper Cui trusted the Yu Family’s culinary skills very much. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have dared to “snatch” him to the Yu Family after learning about Master Xiao Wu’s filial piety.

Shopkeeper Cui said, “Although I’m the shopkeeper of the White Jade Restaurant, I still admire Chef Yu’s cooking skills.”

“Aiya, you flatter me.” Uncle was embarrassed by the praise and quickly waved his hand with a smile.

Master Xiao Wu said with a cold face, “Whether it’s a mule or a horse, pull it out for a walk!”

This meant that they were going to try the dishes, but why did it sound like provoking a fight?

…

The corners of Aunt’s mouth twitched. She put down the half-cut window flowers with Madam Jiang and the two children and went to pick vegetables.

The marinade and meat at home were all ready-made. Uncle quickly made a pot of fragrant braised pork belly with Yu Feng and Yu Wan as assistants. The pork belly was braised very well, and the fat was cooked until it was sparkling. It was fat but not greasy, and the lean meat had a firm texture. It was thin but not dry. When he bit into it, he could feel the tender juice explode in his mouth. The spicy texture was most suitable for the cold winter. He also put in a spoonful of white sugar to bring up the freshness. It was not an exaggeration to say that this was the most delicious pork belly Shopkeeper Cui had ever eaten.

However, Master Xiao Wu did not seem to be moved. After tasting a few mouthfuls, he did not even lift his eyelids. “Just this?”

The dish was actually being despised!

The Yu family members were dumbfounded.

“If you don’t mind, try this bowl of braised mutton.” Yu Wan brought over a hot pot of mutton. The taste of mutton was naturally more unique than pork belly.

Shopkeeper Cui tasted it and wished he could swallow the entire pot!

Master Xiao Wu should be satisfied now. Shopkeeper Cui said in his heart.

However, to everyone’s disappointment, Master Xiao Wu did not even touch his chopsticks. “My aunt doesn’t eat mutton.”

“Then what meat does your aunt like to eat?”

As soon as Yu Wan opened her mouth, Aunt, who was cleaning the kitchen, screamed, “Aiya!”

Yu Wan quickly turned around and went to the kitchen. “Aunt, what’s wrong? Did you burn yourself?”

“It’s not me…” Aunt held a dustpan in her left hand and a cloth in her right. She said anxiously,” I forgot about the jar of tofu that I had bought during New Year. What if it stinks!”

Without Aunt saying anything, Yu Wan could already smell the fermenting stench. However, Yu Wan did not show the anxiety she had imagined. On the contrary, her eyes lit up and she smiled. “It’s good that it stinks.”

“Huh?” Aunt looked at Yu Wan in confusion.

Yu Feng also rushed over. He looked at the tofu in the jar that was already covered in hair and stood in front of his mother in a cold manner. However, he felt a heartache. This was ten pounds of tofu. It spoiled before they could eat it…

“Big Brother, help me add some firewood,” Yu Wan said.

Yu Feng frowned. “What are you going to do?”

“You’ll know soon.” Yu Wan opened the cupboard, took out a large bowl of vegetable oil, and poured it into the washed pot.

Yu Feng had an ominous feeling.

“Add firewood, Big Brother,” Yu Wan urged.

I’m really a big brother who spoiled his sister! Yu Feng took a deep breath and calmly added firewood to heat the pot.

Yu Wan fished out the stinky tofu, cleaned it briefly, cut it into pieces, and placed it in the boiling oil.

Yu Feng and Aunt did not expect her to want to do this. Just as they were about to stop her, it was already too late. The tofu glaze slipped into the pot and was fried into golden yellow. The smelly kitchen became even more smelly.

Aunt could not stand the stench and ran away while covering her nose. Yu Feng quickly left because of the stench too.

When Yu Wan came out with a plate full of fried stinky tofu, the people from the old residence were either gone or fled. Only Master Xiao Wu was left at the table.

“Where are they?” Yu Wan blinked.

Master Xiao Wu looked at the thing in Yu Wan’s hand in disdain.

Yu Wan understood and exclaimed in realization. She turned to look at Master Xiao Wu and said with a smile, “Master Xiao Wu knows his stuff.”

Master Xiao Wu: My legs are just numb…

Yu Wan placed the plate on the table. “This thing smells bad, but it tastes delicious.”

The veins at the corners of Master Xiao Wu’s eyes twitched. Was this thing used to eat?!

Yu Wan said, “Master Xiao Wu, try it.”

Master Xiao Wu did not taste it.

Yu Wan looked at him deeply. “Don’t tell me… you don’t dare to eat it?”

“I’ve even eaten the flesh of the dead!” Master Xiao Wu said coldly.

“Then try it.” Yu Wan pushed the plate in front of him calmly.

Outside the door, from bottom to top, one, two, three, four heads were lined up, all of their noses were blocked by cotton wool.

“Does he dare to eat it?” Little Bruiser asked with a buzzing nose.

“Eat?” Zhenzhen mimicked.

Master Xiao Wu had sharp ears and eyes. He saw everything that happened. No matter what he did, he could not let the children underestimate him. Hence, he clenched his fists, grabbed a piece of stinky tofu, and stuffed it into his mouth without a word!

Even if I die from the stench today—

Oh, it was delicious.
