Chapter 324: Pampering Her with Both the Big and the Small Ways


    Chi Enen, with her face lined with ck lines, sat on the sofa, silently watching the kitchen in chaos from afar.


    What do they mean by not being able to tell the difference between a chicken and a duck? Any normal person can tell them apart!


    Well, to be fair, he’s not a normal person—he’s the high and mighty Young Master Li!


    Li Beijue lifted the duck with utter disgust and asked, “What should we do now?”


    “How about making it into Beer Duck?” suggested Huo Yi.


    He wouldn’t have it, “There’s no beer in the refrigerator, could red wine be used instead?”


    Red wine…


    Huo Yi silently recalled and then remembered after a long while that there indeed was a bottle of red wine here. However, it was an ’82 Lafite, worth tens of thousands. It was far too extravagant and wasteful to use for Red Wine Duck!


    “About that bottle of wine…”


    The oil in the pan was already hot, and he was incredibly irritated as he growled, “Just tell me if red wine can be used to cook it. If it can, bring it here!”<div>


    So annoying!


    Which part of his brain was malfunctioning, for him to actually take Huo Yi’s suggestion and cook with Baby Chi to please this woman and make Chi Enen happy? As if that wasn’t enough, he had to buy so much food. And what exactly were all these items in the kitchen! What’s wrong with this knife? It’s acting all over the ce when cutting vegetables, and what’s with the spoon? Who designed it? Such a short handle, does it want to burn him to death? Did the person who designed this crap ever cook before? Did they know hot oil would stter and that this distance simply wasn’t enough!


    “It can be done, but that bottle is ’82 Lafite. Using it for Red Wine Duck is too…”


    “Being able to do it is good enough. Why so much nonsense!” The man, busy and flustered for the first time, interrupted him and threw the whole duck in.


    The oil inside the pan was already scorching hot, and there was still water on the duck. Once the oil met the water, it boiled over immediately!


    Sizzle and crack!


    “Master Jue, you haven’t finished cutting the duck…”


    “Shut up.”


    “A whole duck shouldn’t be put down like that, it can easily end up undercooked.”


    “I told you to shut up.” He reached out and, with thin lips curled, addressed the bitter-faced Huo Yi, “Give me the red wine!”


    “What are you going to do with it, Master Jue?”


    “Give it to me.” Li Beijue was impatient.


    Huo Yi sighed with resignation, reluctantly took the red wine off the shelf, and opened it for him. Li Beijue grabbed it roughly, pouring half of the bottle directly into the pan. Then, with a p, he sealed the lid back on and with a smirk, said, “Alright, let it cook like this.”


    Chi Enen, “…”


    Huo Yi, “…”


    Li Beijue’s patience had run out. It was already good enough that he didn’t smash the pan. After hurriedly putting on the lid, he nced at the simple home-cooked dishes bought from outside that were set aside and served them with satisfaction. Meanwhile, he called out.


    “Chi Jingchen, you’re up.”


    Baby Chi ced his iPad aside on the sofa, nced at Chi Enen with a pouted small mouth, not particrly happy. Then, seeming to think of something, he bit his lower lip, lunged into her arms, hugged her waist, and gave her a bite on the waist, murmuring sullenly, “Woman, let this one go. If you ditch me again next time to go have a twosome world with him, I’m disowning him!”


    After saying that, he wriggled out from Chi Enen’s arms, once again putting on his beautiful stern face, hopped off the sofa, and confidently walked to the kitchen with big slippers that didn’t match his young age.<div>


    Compared to the chaos Li Beijue created in the kitchen, 5-year-old Baby Chi simply exuded the air of a great general.


    He didn’t choose aplex dish and nned to make Tomato Fried Egg.


    He calmly said to Huo Yi next to him, “Uncle Huo, please help me get a stool.”


    He inherited the best features from both Li Beijue and Chi Enen, looking incredibly delicate. No one could bear to refuse such a sweet child’s request, not even Huo Yi, who was always strict and proper. He couldn’t help but smile, saying softly, “Okay, Little Young Master, please wait a moment.”<div>


    He quickly found a stool.


    Standing on the stool, Baby Chi could finally reach the pot.


    He first cracked an egg, his chubby little hands skillfully whisking it, then added a pinch of salt. After preparing the egg, he was ready to pour the oil…


    Li Beijue had been watching him cook, and the moment he saw him trying to light the stove and pour the oil, he immediately said, “I’ll do it.”


    Baby Chi looked at him, but didn’t object. He directed him to turn on the stove, pour a bit of oil into the pan, and then instructed him to chop the tomatoes. Although Li Beijue chopped the tomatoes unevenly, making a mess, Baby Chi, for the first time, did not express any disdain. He poured the egg into the pan, and as the egg met the hot oil, it quickly solidified into an omelette. He deftly chopped the omelette into pieces with a spat, then dumped the horribly cut tomatoes in. He swiftly added sugar, stirred-fried, reduced the sauce, and it was done…


    The whole process was smooth and uninterrupted.


    Soon, a steamy dish of Tomato Fried Egg was ced next to the indescribable Red Wine Duck.


    “Mission aplished.” Baby Chi looked at his own dish, then at the Neighbor Old Wang’s dish, and a sense of achievement sprouted in his little heart!


    Li Beijue noticed his pride and his face darkened…


    Huo Yi quickly served the dishes, cing them on the table, and called for Chi Enen, “Miss Chi, the food is ready, pleasee and eat. Master Jue and the Little Young Master saw you were in a bad mood these past few days, so they got up early to buy the ingredients. Please try.”


    To cheer her up, the father and son had gone shopping just for that?


    It would be a lie for Chi Enen to say she wasn’t touched…


    She approached the dining table, picked up the chopsticks, and with the eager anticipation of both big and small, she first sampled a mouthful of the Tomato Fried Egg.<div>


    The seasoning was just right; although it was a bit overcooked, it tasted quite good.


    “Woman, how is it?”


    “It’s delicious.”


    Li Beijue immediately pushed his own dish in front of her, “Chi Enen, eat this one.”


    In the beautiful te, a whole duck sat proud and imposing. Chi Enen took a bite with her chopsticks, and her face scrunched up instantly.


    It was… it was just too awful!


    Sweet and spicy while also being fishy, it was definitely a culinary disaster!


    But faced with the man’s expectant eyes, she couldn’t voice her criticism and instead swallowed it with difficulty, managing to say, “It’s not bad.”


    Li Beijue’s thin lips curled upward, clearly in a good mood; with the air of someone bestowing a charitable gift, he announced, “I told you the taste was definitely good. Have more, that whole duck is yours!”


    Apart from Chi Enen, no one else was worthy to eat his personally cooked dish!


    Chi Enen, “…” Was it toote to take back what she had just said?


    The meal ended in a cheerful atmosphere.
