ouching his chin in bewilderment, wondering if he had missed a spot shaving,At this time, the airport's large screen displayed a message that their flight was preparing for boarding.Wu Xie glanced at...Wu Ling automatically ignored her older brother's teasing and walked over in small, quick steps.
"Hey bro, what delicious food are you making It smells so good."
Wu Xie looked at the small brain that suddenly popped out from his chest, his eyes full of amusement.
He moved slightly to the side, creating some space between Wu Ling and the stove to prevent his steam from scalding her. He spoke in a soft voice:
Yesterday when I was sleeping, that little glutton of a cat wasn't saying that rainy days are best for drinking soup He also said he wanted to eat tomato and egg fried rice, plus stir-fried chili peppers, and... Hmm.
Before Wu Xie could finish his words, a stray dog suddenly jumped on him.
When Wu Ling heard Wu Xie's words, the smile on her face grew wider and wider.
He had just made a casual remark last night, but unexpectedly Wu Xie remembered it.
It's amazing how words that just casually come out of your mouth can leave a lasting impression on people.
His eyes flashed, driven by the excitement in his heart, he directly jumped onto Wu Xie's body, hugging his arm and excitedly said:
"Bro, you're literally my angel, I'm gonna love you to death!"
Wu Xie instinctively opened his arms to steady him when he bounced over.
He couldn't help but smirk at Wu Ling's praise. He patted the child who was wriggling incessantly on his body, feigning disgust and said:
"Alright, alright. My little ancestor, you weigh over a hundred pounds now, can you mature a bit Come down, don't get burned."
Although the tone of this sentence sounds a bit disapproving, it actually conveys worry that he might get burned.
Wu Ling wasn't stupid; she immediately picked up the worried undertones in Wu Xie's words.
He jumped down from Wu Xia's lap with a mischievous grin, humming softly as he listened to the somewhat familiar words.
"Bro, you actually stole my words, but it's okay, this little one forgives you generously, no need to be polite, hehe."
After saying that, Wu Ling stepped forward and tugged at Wu Xie's sleeve, asking with a hint of curiosity:
"Brother, I didn't expect you to know how to cook!"
"Your brother knows more than I do."
Wu reached out and rubbed his nose, then took two steps forward, picking up the spoon beside her and stirring the broth that had been simmering earlier.
"Come and taste it."
Okay!
Hearing this, Wu Ling immediately perked up. He tugged on Wu Xie's sleeve and gave it a slight shake, looking at the steaming bowl of fragrant soup before them with some curiosity and asked:
"Bro, what kind of soup did you make How come there's ham and bamboo shoots in it"
Yellow croaker and old duck casserole, learned from a tutorial online. This is my first time making it.
As Wu Xie answered, he scooped some soup with his spoon. He gently blew on it twice before handing the spoon to Wu Ling.
"Taste it, it's a little hot."
Wu Ling looked at the meat soup in front of her, with some golden yellow oil flowers and small pieces of meat floating on it. She blinked her eyes, leaned against Wu Xie's hand, gently blew a few times, and then sipped it slightly.
Originally, when he heard his older brother make this soup for the first time, he was already prepared that the first bite might taste a little bit off.
But to his surprise, the soup tasted incredibly delicious!
The fish collagen in the soup is incredibly rich and flavorful. Paired with the unique aroma of duck meat and the smoky taste of ham, it's a combination that's simply irresistible.
Wu Xi was still worried that Wu Ling would find the broth too bland, so she added some bamboo shoots, white radish, and mushrooms to it, then simmered it over low heat for several hours. The meaty and fresh flavors had completely infused into the broth by then.
This mouthful is simply fragrant and aromatic.
Wu Xie lowered her head to look at Wu Ling's expression, her eyes flickering slightly: "Does it taste good"
Wu Ling raised her little head, her eyes sparkling, and nodded vigorously: "Delicious! So fragrant!"
When Wu Xie heard this, he seemed to let out a breath of relief, his eyes curving slightly.
He lowered his head to watch Wu Ling scoop up another full mouthful with her spoon and drink it down, his eyes were gentle as water, and he smiled softly.
"Just drink if you like it."
Wu Ling smiled and shook her head, then holding Wu Xie's hand, she drank a full cup. Her cheeks were flushed from drinking, and she looked incredibly happy.
Seeing that he loved to drink, Wu Xie poured him a full bowl and, fearing he might burn himself, carefully carried it to the outdoor dining table so he could sip it slowly.
While he, in a blue apron, stood beside the cutting board, leisurely watching the tutorial on his phone, carefully slicing tomatoes with a knife.
Wu Ling is a restless person. He had just sat down in the chair, not even a minute, when he was already running to the kitchen with a small spoon in his mouth, making smacking sounds.
As soon as he stepped into the kitchen, he saw Wu Xi holding a knife and chopping tomatoes. He immediately rushed over like a little gluttonous cat:
"Brother, I want to eat persimmons."
Wu Xie looked at the little brain that had popped out from his chest again, a smirk playing on his lips. He picked up a piece of tomato from the cutting board with his fingertips and held it to his mouth.
"Just taken out of the fridge, it's still a little cold. Eat a little less."
"Okay."
Wu Ling nodded and popped the tomato into her mouth.
After finishing the tomatoes, Wu Ling ran to the side and took two peeled prawns. She put one in her own mouth and the other in Wu Xia's.
Wu held a shrimp in her mouth and picked up an egg from the bowl beside her with her right hand.
His right thumb, index finger, and middle finger gripped the eggshell directly, then with a quick tap outward, the yolk and white fell perfectly into the bowl.
One beautiful single-handed egg cracking.
Wu Xie stirred the eggs while looking at the little glutton beside him. He was picking peppers with chopsticks and stuffing them into his mouth, munching away happily. With a smile, Wu Xie said:
"After dinner, your brother will take you to the shopping mall to buy some clothes and snacks. You can also choose a new phone and computer there. In the afternoon, your brother will take you for a walk around my shop and get familiar with the area. At night, we'll go out to eat delicious food."
"Oh, okay."
After Wu Ling popped a green pepper into his mouth, his hands clapped together like little seals, "Wow!" he exclaimed with a shower of rainbow compliments.
"Dude, your cooking skills are amazing! This tastes better than anything you'd get at a restaurant!"
Wu Xie, although knowing that his cooking wasn't as exaggerated as Wu Ling said, couldn't help but feel good.
He looked at the duck meat Wu Ling handed him, lowered his head slightly and took a bite. His mouth was full of food, making his words a little unclear:
If you like it, I'll make it for you every day from now on.
Wu Ling stopped mid-sip of his soup, his eyes widening. He popped a bamboo shoot into his mouth and didn't stop talking, his little lips chattering away as he asked, "Really"
Wu lowered her head and glanced at him, reaching out to wipe the grease from his face with her hand. She nodded.
"Really."
Wu Ling felt a pang in her heart, but on the surface, she gave Wu Xie a shy glance and said in a slightly embarrassed tone:
Wouldn't that be too much trouble
Although his words were like that, his actions were completely contrary to what he said.
His big eyes shone brightly as he looked at Wu Xie, his expression full of eager expectation.
Wouldn't you be cruel to not cook for such a cute puppy like this Could you bear to do it
Wu Xie looked at him like that, her eyebrows raised slightly, she reached out and unceremoniously knocked on his head, a low chuckle in her mouth:
"What's with that act, punk"
Wu Ling wasn't even slightly annoyed after being hit. Instead, she smiled and hugged Wu Xie's shoulder.
"Hehe~ I'm not trying to trouble you, am I"
Wu Xie glanced at him, a slight smile playing on her lips.
"No trouble."
Wu Ling's eyes curved like crescent moons when she heard this, and she happily nodded her head.
"Then it's a deal! From now on, you're in charge of my snacks and meals!"
Wu Xie looked at him with this smiling, nonchalant demeanor and couldn't help but smirk back. She nodded her head in agreement.
