Chapter 33：The Final Dinner (2/2)

Wei Huo was speechless. ”...”

Wei Huo said after thinking it through, ”Scrambled eggs with tomatoes!”

Lu Qiqi said heartlessly, ”There are no tomatoes.”

Wei Huo was confused. He thought about it and asked, ”What about stewed chicken with mushrooms?”

Lu Qiqi had a straight face. ”No mushrooms.”

Wei Huo was lost.

'Why isn't there anything?'

”Forget it, I'll go to the kitchen and find something.” Wei Huo arrived at the kitchen and found that there were not many frozen vegetables, but there was quite a selection of meats. Apart from that, there was also a huge box of eggs, milk, potatoes, leeks, flour, and the likes.

Although Lu Qiqi knew the recipes of over 100 dishes, she could not do anything about the lack of materials!

The duo started working with what was available. Although Wei Huo did not know how to cook, he knew how to use a rice cooker as well as cutting vegetables.

Lu Qiqi on the other hand was in charge of cooking. Although her calf was injured and couldn't stand for long, she still persevered to cook for Wei Huo.

After some time, the dishes were completed. Wei Huo felt like he could eat a horse as he smelled the fragrance of food. Lu Qiqi eventually made shredded potatoes, fried leeks with eggs, fried pork, and a pot of vegetable soup.

After cooking, Lu Qiqi commented, ”Four cuisines. All four cuisines are rated above 75. Evaluation: Good.”

Soon after that, she looked over at the rice cooked by Wei Huo and commented, ”The rice is rated under 60. Evaluation: Coarse.”

Wei Huo was speechless. ”...”

Almost there!

Although the coarse rice was a nadir, Wei Huo did not care much about it. He could finally eat home-cooked food, after more than 100 years. Wei Huo was moved by the simple dishes on the table.

He initially thought that he would gobble them up, but what he did not expect was that he could not even lift his chopsticks.

”Pardon me, it's been over 100 years since I used chopsticks. I'm still getting used to it.” Wei Huo nearly lost grip of his chopsticks. He seemed like a foreigner learning how to use chopsticks, and he could barely pick up vegetables with it.

Wei Huo took a bite of each dish and stopped himself. He shut his eyes, and his soul was quivering.

Wei Huo thought that he would be picking up vegetables and eating non-stop. However, he realized that he was not going to. He was not that hungry. On the contrary, he was more worried that he would never be able to have these dishes again if he gobbled them up.

At that moment, Lu Qiqi asked, ”Are they not good?”

Lu Qiqi thought that the dishes were not of Wei Huo's taste when she saw him put his chopsticks down.

”N-no, they're good. They're very good!” Wei Huo was choking up.

Wei Huo's fingers were trembling. He continued stuffing food into his mouth and said while chewing, ”I was just worried that if I ate too quickly, I won't be able to have them ever again.”

Lu Qiqi just stared at Wei Huo quietly and did not eat as that was the deal they had, a trade.

Wei Huo was eating slowly because he was cherishing this meal. He wanted to savor the aftertaste, as he was afraid he would never be able to have this meal again.
