Capítulo 26: Testing
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Chu Yunyao did not know they had already imagined so many things when they looked at her.
Nanny Rong, who had only been praised by the Governor, had mediocre cooking skills that fell far short of the standards of being flavorful, fragrant, and visually appealing. The food she prepared was tasteless and bland, wasting such fresh ingredients.
For a foodie, it was a waste of heavenly resources.
In the 22nd century, Chu Yunyao was a genius chef who participated in the Master Chef Competition and won various awards.
After putting the medicine packet into the earthen jar, Chu Yunyao rummaged around the kitchen and picked some fresh ingredients. She picked up the kitchen knife, swiftly cut the onions, ginger, and garlic, and prepared various seasonings.
Under the stunned gazes of everyone in the kitchen, Chu Yunyao used three pots to cook simultaneously. In a short time, she had prepared three home-cooked dishes, which were steamed sea bass, stir-fried shrimp, and winter melon ribs soup.
She even asked the servants to help her knead the dough and make a scallion omelet for supper.
Chu Yunyao saw that the medicine in the pot was not ready, but she was afraid that it had not been ready yet, so she placed the food on the table and moved a small stool beside her. She quickly picked up her chopsticks and moved the handkerchief on her face. As she ate, she was watching the fire.
Seeing that Chu Yunyao was about to start eating, the butler quickly brought the bowl and chopsticks over and moved closer to Chu Yunyao, "Young Madam, the Young Marshal has never liked to eat leftovers from others."
"If you're too hungry to wait for the Young Marshal to return, I'll take half of the food and send it to the Young Marshal. You can keep the other half for now. How about that?"
Chu Yunyao felt that the amount of food was enough. She could not finish it all. To avoid wasting, she agreed to him and generously gave half of the food to the butler to take away. She happily ate the remaining half.
Chu Yunyao brought the medicine and supper into the bridal chamber of the Moon Pavilion and found that Nanny Rong had just returned.
When she saw Chu Yunyao, Nanny Rong's turbid eyes flashed brightly. She asked, "Young Madam, how did you come back?"
Chu Yunyao placed her things on the table and casually leaned against the recliner chair. She said lazily, "Of course, I came back by carriage. I have a question for you. I couldn't find you anywhere for such a long time. Where did you go with the coachman?"
Nanny Rong was anxious, and changed her tone to lament, "I was afraid that something would happen to Mrs. Bai. I wanted to go east of the city to hire a midwife, but I was afraid you would be blamed for the delivery, so I returned to the Military Governor's Mansion to tell them what had happened."
Nanny Rong put her palms together and tried to flatter her, "God bless. Mrs. Bai is blessed, and they are safe. I didn't expect you to be so capable. Not only are you proficient in medicine, but you can also deliver babies at such a young age."
Chu Yunyao waved her hand and drank the medicine. Then, she slowly explained, "You flatter me. I was just lucky. I've been helping cats and dogs in the countryside since I was young. I've learned it too many times."
Nanny Rong was dumbfounded, her expression changing unpredictably.
The smell of the scallion omelet wafted into Nanny Rong's nose. After a busy day, she was hungry. She was about to reach for the omelet on the plate.
Chu Yunyao reached out her hand. She picked up the omelet with chopsticks and put it into her mouth. She let out a satisfied and intoxicated sigh, "Wow, it's so delicious. I haven't tasted such a delicious omelet in a long time."
Then, she blinked and looked at Nanny Rong, "Nanny, I'm still growing and need a lot so I won't share with you. You can go to the kitchen. The servants should have left some food for you."
Nanny Rong was speechless.
