Chapter 016 Cooking
Because Lance was beaten by Xia Xiaoyu, this situation was just a very "normal" thing in Flora's eyes.
Therefore, Su Ming, who witnessed this tragedy, could not do anything strange. He could only stand there awkwardly, waiting for Lance to get up by himself.
After a long time, Lance struggled to get up from the ground. He naturally accepted the reality that he was covered in bruises and still focused his attention on Su Ming.
At this moment, his eyes looked as if he wanted to kill someone.
Unfortunately, his body no longer allowed him to continue competing with Su Ming here, so he could only stare at Su Ming with murderous eyes and said viciously: "Just wait!"
After Lance made those harsh words, he limped away, holding his waist.
Su Ming turned to look at Xia Xiaoyu, who proudly gave him an OK gesture: "Don't worry! With me here, no one can do anything to you!"
"You are so strong." Su Ming said.
"Hahaha! It's just so-so!" Xia Xiaoyu wanted to act more modestly, but couldn't control her smug expression.
Flora, who was standing by, stepped forward and said gratefully, "I'm sorry... that guy has such a violent personality. Thank you for not getting into a conflict with him."
"It's okay, I'm fine... Um, it seems that it's not convenient to eat today."
"No! Please stay for dinner! I really don't know what to do if you encounter this kind of thing!
Please wait a moment, I will cook and it will be ready soon, please stay for dinner! I really mean it! "
Flora opened her eyes wide, looked at Su Ming sincerely, and tried her best to keep him.
Logically speaking, Su Ming was his savior, and she should express her gratitude. What's more, Su Ming was a friend she really wanted to get to know.
He had done nothing wrong, but he encountered such a bad thing before the first party... This responsibility should have been borne by her as the host, but now, she didn't even know how to apologize to Su Ming.
"Please! Please stay for dinner!" Flora begged again and again, trying sincerely to keep the other party.
Seeing this, Su Ming was too embarrassed to refuse, so he nodded: "Then... then I'll trouble you."
"I'm so sorry! I made you encounter such an unpleasant thing." Flora apologized again.
"Don't take what happened just now to heart. It's nothing." Su Ming comforted.
Lance was beaten into a state of chaos just now, but Flora didn't care at all. He was just slightly offended, but was treated as the biggest victim by the other party. For the power of this twisted will, Su Ming could only say it was awesome!
"Your superpowers are really strong." Su Ming turned to look at Xia Xiaoyu, gave her a thumbs up, and praised her sincerely.
"There's nothing to envy. In fact... this superpower is really terrible." Xia Xiaoyu said with a wry smile.
Su Ming and Xia Xiaoyu came to the restaurant to sit down and rest, while Flora cooked in the kitchen.
She first took out the ingredients from the refrigerator, then chopped them skillfully, mixed a salad, then fried two steaks, and finally stir-fried a few vegetables.
Su Ming sat at the dining table, staring at Flora's back as she was busy cooking, in a daze. A beautiful woman cooking is always pleasing to the eye and gives people a very virtuous feeling.
"She is very beautiful, right? And she is also very virtuous." Xia Xiaoyu suddenly said.
Su Ming shook his head and said seriously:
"No, I was observing her cooking method. In the world before I traveled through time, Chinese food and Western food were two completely different schools of thought. Westerners rarely used tools like iron pans in their daily lives, and Orientals rarely used steak and bread as staple foods.
But I saw that Flora seemed to be proficient in both methods, so I was wondering if after more than two hundred years, all cooking methods have been integrated. "
"Eating habits? I seem to have seen research in this area, but what you said about the fusion of Western and Chinese food is not entirely correct. Western restaurants and Chinese restaurants are completely separate now, so I can only say that Flora's cooking skills are great and she can cook both Chinese and Western food.
But don’t you find it strange? Flora is a noble, but she can cook. "
"It's not surprising. The nobles I watched on TV before all learned the etiquette of the upper class from a young age, such as flower arrangement and painting. Maybe cooking is also part of the aristocratic education of the Osborn family. Her cooking skills seem to be very good."
"No noble would normally let their children learn cooking to this extent. Flora's knife skills are perfect, but her overly professional technique weakens the elegance of her cooking... Nobles shouldn't be like this."
"Maybe it's just a hobby." Su Ming replied.
Xia Xiaoyu shook her head without comment. She turned to look at Flora's busy back, seeming to be thinking about something.
While Su Ming and Xia Xiaoyu were chatting, Flora had already brought up the dishes one by one.
When Su Ming saw these dishes, he was surprised.
He had thought that as Flora was a noble, the dishes she cooked would be of great quality, but the dishes before him were just ordinary home-cooked meals.
Su Ming had eaten stir-fried beef with green peppers, Xihongshi scrambled eggs, and deep-fried chicken legs before he traveled through time. Every household knows how to make them to some extent.
In addition to these three dishes full of Chinese flavor, there is also a steak. This steak looks very high-end. Whether it is the combination of sauces or the decorations next to the steak, it gives people the illusion that it can only be eaten in high-end restaurants.
"Xia Xiaoyu, I admit that you are right. Flora is indeed a bit strange." Su Ming frowned.
Xia Xiaoyu: "Do you know what's wrong?"
"I don't know yet. All I can say is that Flora is not normal."
"intuition?"
"Yes, my intuition is always accurate." Su Ming replied, "But I'm not saying that Flora is a bad person. What I mean is that there are still some things about Flora that we haven't noticed yet."
Upon hearing this, Xia Xiaoyu nodded, went to the kitchen to get a pair of chopsticks, and sat back down at the table.
Flora smiled at Su Ming and said, "I'm sorry, I can't cook many dishes, but I believe they taste good."
"It looks delicious." Su Ming complimented, "But I'm not a noble, so my eating manners may not be very elegant."
"It's okay, please use it!"
Su Ming didn't hesitate and started eating.
Flora's cooking skills are amazing, and the home-cooked meals are delicious, not inferior to that exquisite steak at all.
But compared to the table full of food, Su Ming cared more about Flora's attitude.
Her attitude was quite strange from the beginning. For some reason, Su Ming had a feeling that Flora seemed to deliberately want to get closer to him.
But this feeling was not strong, so Su Ming could not tell whether he was being self-indulgent or his super intuition was at work.
Speaking of which, he seems to be particularly popular with women. Xia Xiaoyu treats him very well, and Flora also seems to have a good impression of him. Are these just coincidences?
Or do I really have this potential trait?
"Is it delicious?" Flora asked.
“Very delicious.”
"If you want, you can come and eat anytime. I usually cook for myself, but it's boring to eat alone. I would be very happy if you could come and keep me company." Flora said with a smile.
Su Ming looked up at the other person and nodded slightly.
Sure enough, it was not an illusion, Flora really wanted to get close to him!
