Cooking

The two remained on the deck to admire the view for the entire night, and were also buffeted by the cold wind the entire time. The sky was just brightening when Ling Xiao finally dragged You XiaoMo back to the cabin. Even if he had never seen this world’s ocean at night, he still shouldn’t behave so foolishly; it would pull his IQ down further.

At noon, the sunlight became harsh.

You XiaoMo left the cabin to get some air. It was lunchtime; though he had food in his pocket dimension, but he had gotten sick of always eating those things.

You XiaoMo found a crew member and asked after the location of the kitchen. On his way over, he thought of what he would make, having decided to cook it himself.

Speaking of culinary ability, it was something he had taught himself from when he was young.

Since they rarely seemed to care about him, the young You XiaoMo wanted to do something to attract the attention of his parents. He wasn’t very smart back then, so he chose to cook, and definitely regretted it afterwards, because he didn’t get his parents’ attention, but instead You Lu and You Bai. From then on, he lived a miserable life.

Whenever he was free, You Lu and You Bai would make him cook for them. They were especially picky eaters and forced his culinary skills to improve to more or less the level of a five star chef.

But since he came to this world, he found that he hadn’t ever cooked Ling Xiao a meal before.

You XiaoMo thought over it and decided to cook something while he had the tools necessary, so that he wouldn’t commit the same failure like his first time cooking Thousand Spirit Earth Sheep.

There was only one chef in the kitchen, called Wan, and his assistant. He was in charge of cooking meals for the sailors and captain of the merchant ship. With twenty to thirty people, he cooked in massive pots.

By eleven o’clock, lunch had been made already. So the kitchen was empty. However, Chef Wan and his assistant were eating at the door of the kitchen. They always ate separately from the crew.

“Chef Wan, can I borrow the kitchen?” You XiaoMo walked in front of Chef Wan and gave him a few spirit gems.

With the five spirit gems, Chef Wan nodded. They were normal humans, and five spirit gems was enough to purchase everything in the kitchen. This was the first time he had ever met a practitioner that cooked.

You XiaoMo entered the kitchen and looked around at what ingredients were present.

The crew weren’t vegetarians and their work required a lot of energy, so the ingredients consisted of primarily meat. There were even a few live chickens and ducks in the cages on the ground.

Rather some contemplation, You XiaoMo eventually decided to make three meat dishes and two vegetarian dishes, as well as a soup and dessert.

Killing live chickens was something he had done before as an ordinary human, so the first dish was spicy and sour chicken. This dish tasted fresh and salty, while the sourness and spice melted in your mouth. It was definitely suitable for Ling Xiao who preferred meat. The only thing was that he didn’t know if his lack of practice these few years had caused his culinary skills to regress or not.

He bustled around the kitchen, not noticing that the Chef Wan and his assistant outside had been lured in by the aroma. Watching You XiaoMo cooking with practiced swiftness, the two looked at each other.
