Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Liao Ning affectionately pinched the wolf cub’s dainty nose. “You’re such a sweetheart. Let’s go home. I’ll make some delicious food for you!”
Shortly after Liao Ning arrived home with the two cubs, Zhou Ling, dressed in his military uniform, returned as well. He went upstairs to change into casual clothes before joining Liao Ning in the kitchen.
As Zhou Ling, donning a pink apron, made his appearance during the livestream, the comment section immediately filled with playful teasing from netizens.
[Hey, isn’t that the mighty Colonel Zhou? Why is he wearing such a cute pink apron?]
[I remember him being so serious during this morning’s military parade livestream! ]
[Yeah, that stern expression on his face that seemed to ward off strangers really gave off a cold vibe.]
[The ancient saying holds true: No man can resist the charms of a beautiful woman. A cold man becomes gentle when he’s with the person he loves!]
[I’m definitely bowing down to this couple!]
[So this man is a secret softie, huh?]
[Indeed. He’s so cold to others, but so gentle with Liao Ning!]
[So this is how Colonel Zhou managed to win over Liao Ning!]
Zhou Ling’s lips curled up happily. “Don’t be jealous, everyone. You’ll find your own better half!”
“Everyone, ignore him. Today, I’ll teach you all how to make sweet orange duck breasts. The ingredients we’ll need are duck breasts, salt, rosemary, pepper, olive oil, carrots, onions, butter, oranges, orange juice, loog of soy sauce, and 5g of honey.”
As Liao Ning began introducing the necessary ingredients, she was interrupted by Zhou Ling.
“I’ll take care of it. You can guide me from the side,” Zhou Ling said, taking the duck breasts from her hands.
[I was taken aback by this public display of affection.]
[I’m already full just from witnessing this sweet moment. I’ve had my fill of dog food!]
[I want to complain to my mom about someone shamelessly flaunting their love!]
Liao Ning smiled at the playful teasing from the netizens but didn’t interrupt Zhou Ling, instead providing guidance from the sidelines. “Marinate the duck breasts with salt, pepper, rosemary, and olive oil for approximately an hour.”
While they waited for the duck breasts to marinate, Liao Ning engaged with the netizens in the livestream, while Zhou Ling continued preparing the ingredients for dinner. With the addition of Olift, along with the presence of the two cubs and Butler Li, there were more tasks to handle. Although Olift had initially planned to help, he couldn’t appear in the livestream, and Butler Li had to assist the cubs with their homework, leaving Liao Ning and Zhou Ling to handle the cooking on their own.
The Zhou family’s ancestral residence was quite expansive, and there were numerous hired servants. However, typically, the main residence didn’t involve those servants in the day-to-day activities, except for cleaning.
[Why is Colonel Zhou more skilled at handling ingredients than I am?] [Is this the power of love? How can a decisive soldier be so adept at cooking?] [Liao Ning looks so happy!]
[Colonel Zhou’s actions are truly praiseworthy, even for his fans. He’s truly a great man from the Gu family!]
[Praise me!]
[On account of how much he adores Liao Ning, I’ll let bygones be bygones for now]
The duck breasts marinated quickly, and Zhou Ling skillfully followed Liao
Ning’s instructions to continue cooking.
“Next, make cross-shaped cuts on the skin side of the duck breast, then place it in the pan with the skin side down. Fry it over medium-high heat for approximately eight minutes. Flip the duck breast to cook the other side without skin for just 30 seconds. Preheat the oven to 1700C and roast the duck breast for 25 minutes. Let it rest for five minutes before slicing it into small pieces.
The carrots were cut into wider strips and stir-fried with butter to infuse them with a delightful buttery aroma. Then, a mixture of orange juice, raw soy sauce, and honey was prepared. This mixture was added to the pan and simmered over low heat. Once the sauce thickened, the heat could be turned off.
The final step is to arrange the sliced duck breast on a plate and pour the prepared sauce over it. Voila! Your sweet orange duck breast is ready to be served!”
After Zhou Ling poured the sauce over the duck breast, Liao Ning called out to the living room, “Nai Nai, Mili, come and give it a try!”
“Our taste testers for today are the cubs!” Liao Ning said with a smile.
The two cubs quickly made their way to the kitchen and appeared in the livestream, politely greeting everyone. [It’s been a while, cubs!]
[We missed seeing the cubs so much!] [It’s been ages since we last saw the cubs. They’re as adorable as ever!]
[No, they’re clearly becoming even cuter!]
