Chapter 73: Watch Little Sister Clean Fish
“Nuan~ nuan~”
She also turned on the LCD TV.
Sure enough, this meat was delicious. It was fragrant, tender, and crisp, but just a little bland.
She had originally wanted to give them to Dad and Big Brother, so she hadn’t added that much chili.
Let’s add some chili first.
Lu An put down the box in her hand and headed to the kitchen while still gnawing on the meat.
Third Brother Lu Qingzhou’s face was taut and he was very unhappy.
He looked at the super large fish, pork ribs and meatballs which he had bought on purpose. He had initially planned to test his little sister’s cooking skills.
But now, all of this was going to be destroyed in his hands?
His eyes were slanted and gloomy, especially when he saw that his little sister had actually started eating meat kebabs on her own after he left, and didn’t tell him!
A certain third brother immediately felt like she was looking down on him!
Placing the knife on the chopping board, he laid out the huge fish and started to process it with a taut face.
When Lu An entered, she happened to see her third brother cleaning the fish scales.
He had a tall and upright figure, and his gaze and movements were like that of a cold and focused machine. Gone was the aggressive reserve from before; he was a completely different person!
However, compared with a chef’s swift bulldozer-like movements, a certain third brother’s method was —
Holes! That was right, holes!
He dug in hard to create deep holes, like he was digging for small potatoes; the scales were completely unaffected. Each blood-colored lump was placed to the side. They were super uniform, like specimens, but felt creepy somehow, and made the scalp tingle!
Lu An stared blankly. It took her a long time to react. What was he doing?
Was he trying to break the bones? That lump is white meat, hey!
Lu An widened her eyes, but Third Brother seemed absorbed in his task and didn’t notice her at all!
“Sigh~”
Lu An sighed helplessly. Taking advantage of Third Brother’s next stab, she quickly grabbed his wrist before he continued destroying the fish. She said with a dark look, “Let me do it.”
“You…”
A certain third brother was gloomy, but he obediently put down the knife and stepped aside.
How could he not know how to scale the fish? Of course he knew; he had done it deliberately.
He knew she would come; she had a conscience, at least!
Third Brother’s lips curled up slightly as he stood on the side and watched his little sister clean the fish.
Little Sister grabbed some salt with her fair and tender hands and smeared it evenly on both sides of the big fish.
After removing the slime, she picked up a small knife and started scaling.
Scales dropped in small piles, like feathers being plucked. She had such thin and pale arms, but her strength and speed were really…!
Very quickly, the scales were removed. The little girl picked up the big fish and put it in the sink. After carefully washing both sides, she placed a chopping board on top of the sink and started to cut up the fish with a small knife.
The sharp blade pierced right through the fish and went all the way down. The little girl reached into the belly with her soft hand and grabbed hold of the gills at the same time. With a slash of the small knife, she pulled out all the fish organs, and then washed them clean.
She was proficient and smooth, and the entire process took less than five minutes!
Five minutes!
“Do you do this often?”
Lu Qingzhou couldn’t help but be puzzled. His little sister had been the young miss of the Qi family. This sort of meat prep could probably only be seen in the kitchen of a more high-class restaurant. Could it be that his little sister had always cooked for the Qi family?
Chapter 74: Getting Restless
As the saying went, practice made perfect. His little sister was so proficient only because she cooked often. That had to be it, right?
A certain third brother inexplicably felt unhappy!
He forgot that he himself was able to dissect many animals and plants after basically one glance.
“It’s alright; it’s been a while since I did it.”
Lu An answered casually. She had transmigrated to a sea region before. Most of the people there were free and unrestrained, but the place was also chaotic and dangerous. She had traveled together with several top chefs to search for delicacies in the deepest part of the sea.
Thinking about it, it had been a truly thrilling and absolutely unique experience!
Even if this fish was ten times larger, she would still be able to handle it.
“What flavor do you like? Steamed, braised, or stewed? Or salty? Or sweet?”
Initially, she couldn’t be bothered to cook anymore. She had grilled so much meat earlier; wasn’t it good to rest?
However, this fish was too tender. Although it wasn’t like the ones in the other world, it made her miss how she had eaten fish prepared in different ways.
Before Lu Qingzhou could reply, Lu An’s bright eyes sparkled, and she said with a bright expression, “Why don’t we just do it all?
“In any case, this fish is big enough. Only when we use everything can we consider it worth it. What do you think?”
“Hehehe…” Little Sister, as long as you’re happy! As long as you’re happy!
A certain third brother couldn’t say anything anymore. He had wanted to say, “Wouldn’t that be too troublesome?” and “How far do you want to go?”
To be honest, after tailing her for the entire morning and being busy the entire afternoon, he hadn’t eaten anything up until now. He was already starving.
However, seeing how cute and confident his little sister was, he could only choose to cook the fish several ways instead of just one.
But was her cooking really that good?
Lu Qingzhou couldn’t help but feel a little doubtful. He then saw his little sister cut the fish into two. The head of the fish was divided into two parts, and the body of the fish was cut into eight fine pieces.
Then, his little sister took out six plates and two large soup bowls at once. She combined the fish with the other ingredients he had bought. She didn’t need his help at all. Her diligent little hands swiftly prepped the seasonings on one side while she steamed, braised, and even made stew on the other; she even had time to knead meatballs…
This natural and smooth workflow was the paragon everyone should aspire to!
A certain third brother was utterly dazzled. His little sister’s figure was like a streak of light which flitted here and there mischievously, and he was at a complete loss.
Just as a certain third brother was feeling dizzy, a plate of steamed fish was handed to him.
It was a refreshing and tender feast for the eyes. The body of the fish had been meticulously processed by his little sister. It lay curved on the plate. Its entire body was covered in a thick liquid. Two to three green leaves had been cutely attached to the fish head and cut scallions were sprinkled over the entire fish; it practically overflowed with deliciousness!
A certain third brother immediately swallowed hard.
Those black eyes were fixed on the fish on the plate.
His hand was already stirring restlessly! Move!
However, before he could do anything, his sister warned him, “Don’t steal a bite. You can only eat them all together!”
Food like this had to be eaten and savored all at once for the best experience!
“Don’t worry, I’ll be quick. If you’re really hungry, have some roasted meat first.”
Chapter 75: Are You a Vampire?
“Oh, oh!”
With delicious food in front of him, Third Brother could no longer think. He immediately placed the fish on the table obediently, and at the same time, picked up the roasted meat from the takeaway box and popped it into his mouth. As he ate, he sat at the dining table and waited; he even arranged books around the food, as if afraid it would be snatched away.
When Lu An brought the second and third dishes over, she saw Third Brother staring fixedly at the food with a tense expression on his handsome face. He looked conflicted, like he wanted to eat the fish, but the roasted meat was also good, yet he still wanted to eat the fish. However, his little sister told him he wasn’t allowed to sneak a bite, so he could only protect the fish first. Compared with his reserved and murderous aura at the beginning, he was now like a delicate little flower, a little pitiful and aggrieved~
Hahaha~
Lu An almost couldn’t help but burst out laughing. Third Brother was too, too cute!
Speaking of which, it seemed everyone called him a quack, and he used fake medicine and revered foreign practices?
“Alright, there’s no more space for another plate, so you can eat it.”
Lu An scooped up a small meatball to feed to Third Brother.
Her smiling and mischievous eyes were already starting to turn a little wicked~
A certain third brother didn’t notice at all. He subconsciously ate the meatball which his little sister fed him. It was fresh and smooth in texture, and it seemed to swim around in his mouth like a little tadpole. He was instantly infinitely satisfied, and couldn’t bear to swallow it at all!
A certain third brother’s eyes welled with tears. He wanted to brag about his little sister’s cooking skills! And her gentleness!
Which brat was it who was so blind and actually doubted this cute little sister who had such good cooking skills and was also considerate? Did he have water in his brain? Did he have tumors in his eyes?
When had his former little sister ever made him meatballs to eat? It was already good enough if she didn’t look at him superciliously!
Very quickly, the dishes were all served.
Steamed, braised, stewed, spicy hotpot, sour, sweet – all sorts of fish dishes and complementary sides were laid out on the table.
The main dish was a thick seafood congee. Lu An also cooked some noodles, vegetables, potatoes, and other ingredients in a pot.
In addition, there was also a cauliflower dish and taro dessert.
Third Brother Lu Qingzhou picked up a huge bowl and quickly filled it for his sister. He also ladled a bowl for himself. Looking at the tempting food on the table, he secretly took a deep breath, picked up his chopsticks, and was about to start eating!
Suddenly…
There was the sound of the front door opening!
Ahhh, no! No! Quickly leave! Go away! All of you!
A strong sense of crisis instantly welled up at the thought that he might be robbed of his food, especially when he saw that it seemed there were two heads outside.
Two?
One was already infuriating enough, but two? Two?
A certain third brother immediately put down his chopsticks and practically shot out like an arrow, wanting to push the two people out the door!
Block! Block! No entry! No way!
At least wait until he finished his meal!
This was a feast that his little sister had specially made for him!
However, how could he alone be a match for two people?
He might still have been successful if it was anyone else, but these two people were the Lu family’s financial magnate, Lu Xiao, and the Lu family’s great demon king, Lu Boran!
They already knew that this brat wanted his little sister to cook for him; he bought so many ingredients, and even deliberately sent them away. As the father and big brother, they naturally had to give in to this younger one. However, he actually dared to order his little sister to cook so many dishes?
So many! An entire table’s worth!
The corners of Father Lu’s lips couldn’t help but curl up. His face was dark as he said angrily, “Lu Qingzhou, are you a vampire?”
