Chapter 271: Didn't Do Anything
After Su Yue prepared the portions for everyone, she let the cooks try the remaining ingredients themselves.
The cooks looked at Su Yue in disbelief and asked cautiously, "Master, can we eat too?"
Su Yue smiled and nodded, and said gently: "It's not something expensive. I have some extra. You can try it and see if it tastes good."
After saying that, Su Yue put the wrapped wontons into the pot and watched them roll in the boiling water.
When the wontons were cooked, she skillfully scooped them out and put them into a bowl, then poured in carefully prepared chicken soup and sprinkled them with green chopped green onions. The fragrant wontons were ready.
The cooks looked at the bowls of delicious wontons and looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a moment.
Su Yue no longer paid attention to them and asked someone to bring the prepared wontons to the dining hall so that they could enjoy breakfast.
The cooks happily wrapped the remaining wontons, and then followed Su Yue's method and cooked the wontons meticulously.
Of course, they kept this in mind and did not forget to prepare a bowl for Butler Liu as well.
Housekeeper Liu rushed over upon hearing the news. As soon as he reached the kitchen, he sullenly scolded them, "How dare you eat the masters' food? This is outrageous!"
The cooks hurriedly explained, repeatedly assuring him, "Butler, it was really the master who gave the leftovers to us to taste. This is absolutely not a lie."
After hearing this, Butler Liu frowned and was skeptical. After all, it was a big taboo to eat the masters' food without permission.
But on second thought, it is not entirely uncommon for the master to be allowed to give the extra food to his servants as a reward, but it is very rare.
Butler Liu has been a butler for many years and has rarely encountered such a situation.
The servants' meals have always been arranged uniformly, so how could they have the good fortune of eating food given by their masters?
Butler Liu couldn't help swallowing his saliva as he looked at the bowls of wontons.
The four cooks looked at him expectantly, their eyes filled with pleading for permission.
Butler Liu hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded. "Since the master agrees, then eat. But remember, don't let this reward from the master lead you to harbor evil intentions and seek more next time. Remember your identity. If I discover you, I won't leave you with anything!"
The cooks, as if they had been granted amnesty, immediately agreed, "Yes, butler."
Their voices were in unison and loud, full of awe and obedience.
Butler Liu looked around the kitchen again before turning around and leaving with his portion in hand.
The cooks looked at his back, breathed a long sigh of relief, and then couldn't wait to pick up the wontons and enjoy this rare delicacy.
The cooks wolfed down the wontons, and for a moment the kitchen was so quiet that only the sound of swallowing could be heard.
Everyone was so focused on tasting the delicious food that they had no time to talk.
After finishing a bowl of wontons, they finally put down their bowls and chopsticks in satisfaction and started a heated discussion.
"This taste is absolutely amazing! Why is it that the master can make something so delicious with the same ingredients?"
A cook spoke first, his face full of confusion and amazement.
"That's right, this meat filling is not fishy at all and is very fresh. The ones I made before didn't taste like this."
Another cook echoed.
"And this chicken soup, it's also cooked according to the master's method. It's surprisingly not greasy at all and tastes incredibly fresh and fragrant."
The third cook couldn't help but sigh.
They began to review everything Su Yue had just done, carefully recalling every step and detail.
They themselves have rich experience in cooking, and now combined with Su Yue's approach, the more they think about it, the more they admire her.
"We really didn't recognize his talent. The master can really cook, and his food tastes much better than ours!" A cook said in frustration, slapping his thigh.
"Yeah, we just now actually doubted whether the master could cook. It was really wrong. I feel ashamed just thinking about it." Another cook blushed and lowered his head.
"In the future, we will have the chance to learn more from the master, learn her methods, and improve our own cooking skills." Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Maybe if we learn the master's skills, we can also make a name for ourselves in the kitchen of this capital city." A cook said with longing.
"Then we must study hard and not underestimate the master like we did today."
"Yes, yes, definitely!"
There was a lot of discussion in the kitchen, and the cooks were full of admiration for Su Yue's cooking skills.
Shangguan Haomu searched the house but couldn't find Su Yue. He was getting anxious and wanted to continue looking somewhere else.
Unexpectedly, he met Su Yue on the way to the kitchen. As soon as he saw Su Yue, he immediately ran over quickly.
Su Yue was frightened when she saw Shangguan Haomu running towards her in such a hurry. She hurriedly walked over to him and scolded him, "Mu, slow down!"
Shangguan Haomu ran up to Su Yue and asked anxiously, "Yuer, where have you been so early in the morning?"
Su Yue took Shangguan Haomu's hand and said with a worried look on her face, "You're going to be a father soon, why are you still so unsteady? What if you bump into something while running?"
Shangguan Haomu didn't take it seriously and said with a smile, "It's not that fragile, Yue'er, don't worry too much."
Su Yue glared at him and said seriously, "It's always better to be careful. We can't be careless about this."
Seeing Su Yue so serious, Shangguan Haomu immediately promised flatteringly: "Okay, okay, I will be careful and listen to Yue'er."
At this time, Shangguan Haomu saw the two servants following Su Yue with wontons and asked curiously, "Yuer, did you make this?"
Su Yue smiled and nodded: "You haven't tasted my cooking for a long time. Today I happened to be free, so I made it for you to satisfy your craving."
Shangguan Haomu's eyes lit up with joy at first, but then he frowned and said distressedly, "Yuer, we can eat anything, don't tire yourself out. You've already given too much to this family, just let the servants do the cooking, and you should pay more attention to rest."
Su Yue felt quite emotional when she heard Shangguan Haomu's concerned words.
They never take her kindness to them for granted.
Even if she only did a little thing, they would feel so sorry for her.
So, love is always mutual.
They all remembered her kindness to them, and likewise, she could feel their love and care for her.
Su Yue gently held Shangguan Haomu's hand, the corners of her mouth curled up: "Actually, it was the cook who did it. I was just giving orders and didn't do anything at all."
Su Yue explained to Shangguan Haomu with a smile.
After Shangguan Haomu finished listening, his frown finally relaxed a little, and he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "So that's how it is. I feel much more relieved then. But even commanding is exhausting, Yue'er, you should pay more attention to rest."
Su Yue nodded: "I know, I will take good care of myself. Let's go back to the dining hall and don't keep everyone waiting for too long."
As they spoke, they walked hand in hand towards the dining room. The sunlight shone on them, casting two shadows that leaned on each other.
