Chapter 186: Let Your Father Cook
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
In the garden, a maid moved her neck stiffly, but it was twisted strangely to the other side, as if she was not used to it. However, she quickly adjusted. Her head and body were in the same direction. Her hands made a hugging gesture, as if she was used to it. It took her a while to react and slowly put her hands down. Perhaps she was not used to it, but she picked up the flower basket beside her and revealed a satisfied smile.
Alex, who was walking at the back, seemed to have sensed something. He suddenly turned around and saw a maid in the garden holding a flower basket and a pair of scissors to trim the flowers. She lowered her eyes and left quietly with the flower basket.
Alex narrowed his eyes and felt that something was wrong. If he had seen a female ghost hugging her head before, he would definitely be able to tell that their actions were exactly the same from the maid’s subtle movements.
Unfortunately, he had never seen a female ghost hugging her head.
It turned out that Amelia’s kick had accidentally kicked the female ghost into the maid’s body by a freak combination of factors.
Alex brought Amelia back to the living room and stopped talking.
Old Madam Walton said, “Mia, are you hungry? Grandma…” She was about to say that Grandma would cook for you, but her tone changed. ‘Grandma will ask your father to cook for you.” A qualified father had to have superb culinary skills. Otherwise, how could he raise a child to be healthy and fat? They could not eat outside. The food outside was not healthy, and it was not possible to hire a cooking auntie. What if the auntie was lazy or had some illness? What if she infected Mia?
Alex raised his eyebrows. “Me? Cook? Are you sure?” When his hands held a knife, he only slashed at people.
As soon as Alex finished speaking, the Walton family looked over collectively, as if they had reached an invisible tacit understanding.
Alex: ‘
Amelia made a gesture of encouragement and said excitedly, “Daddy, you can do it!”
Alex smiled. “Alright.” Since his good daughter had spoken, he had to do it even if he couldn’t! It was just cooking. Wasn’t it just cooking the food and fishing it out? It wasn’t difficult.
Alex pulled his collar and unbuttoned a button.
Only then did George notice that Alex was wearing a shirt and suit pants today. He looked quite formal, which was different from the casual clothes he wore before. It was obvious that he took this meeting seriously. George silently added one point to Alex in his heart. At the same time, Old Master of the Walton family, who had noticed this detail, reluctantly added one point.
Old Madam Walton said, “There are three chickens in the kitchen. I got someone to buy them from the countryside. Kill one to make soup. Mia has to drink soup every day. Kill another to make braised chicken. Mia likes to eat braised chicken drumsticks. There’s also a chicken for white cut chicken. Do you know what white cut chicken is?
Alex rolled up his sleeves and nodded. “Simple.” He knew how to kill people, so it was not difficult to kill chickens.
Old Madam Walton added, “Other than chicken, there are also other dishes. Make some minced meat eggplant. Mia likes it. This eggplant is very delicious when mixed with rice. It’s not easy to make eggplant. If you don’t understand, ask. You can make the other dishes. Make whatever is in the kitchen. There are more than ten people in a family. Just make about eighteen dishes. Oh right, make some egg foo young. Mia needs to eat eggs every day as she grows. The other children are the same. There are a total of five children in the family.
Make five portions.”
Alex.• “???” Did your family have to cook so many dishes at once? Thinking back to when he was at the Burton family’s villa, it was the rough men under him who cooked. One dish was cooked in a pot, and four dishes plus a soup were considered a feast!
Alex walked through the yard and strode to the kitchen.
William said softly, “Mia, let’s go up first.” He was uneasy as he did not find the female ghost.
Amelia was worried about Alex. She ran to the kitchen and said, “Brother, wait a moment. I’ll go see Dad first.”
In the kitchen, Nanny Wu handed an apron to Alex and asked, “Mr. Qi, kill the chicken first. Do you need my help? The rooster has been allowed to roam free.
It’s very fierce.”
When Alex saw Amelia running in, he changed the topic and shook his head. “No need to help.” His daughter was beside him. He had to show his dignified side as a father.
Alex picked up the chicken easily. As the saying goes, even if you haven’t eaten pork, haven’t you seen a pig run? He had traveled extensively for so many years and had seen others kill chickens..
