Chapter 97 - Not Giving Brother To Other People (1/2)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lu Yuxi was informed by Ms. Li in the afternoon that the kindergarten had finished school early that day and asked if she was going to pick Xu Tian up.

Lu Yuxi pulled Li Qing away and planned to surprise him with Xu Le.

She brought Xu Tian to the restaurant and prepared to go back after dinner.

Xu Tian’s eyes lit up when she saw her brother. She jumped up and down happily. “Brother, what are we eating tonight?”

“What do you want to eat?”

Xu Le rubbed his sister’s face and said, “You go play first. I’ll make dinner for everyone.”

“Okay.”

He went to the kitchen and took out a large chopping board. The heavy solid wood block was placed there, and he stabbed the knife into it with brute force.

The lamb spine was chopped off forcefully from the joints. This process required a fast and strong cutting. Xu Le raised his knife high up and chopped it down again.

When Lu Yuxi heard the sound, she came in and said, “I called Li Qing out to handle some matters. Hurry up and prepare it. You should be able to finish it before he comes back.”

“Okay.” Xu Le raised his hand and wiped the sweat off his forehead with his sleeve. “This bone is too hard.”

“Do you want to upload your video today?”

“What video?”

“It’s the video of you cutting tofu. I recorded it, but it’s not complete.”

Xu Le chopped off a piece of bone and said, “The account is focused on cooking tutorial. I think it’s better to follow our theme. If we upload a video just to show off my skills, it will cause the audience to misunderstand.”

“Yeah, that’s what I’m worried about, too.”

Lu Yuxi went forward to put on an apron and started cutting the ginger slices tactfully. She said, “Why don’t we open another account for the shop? The video of you cutting tofu is too awesome. It would be a pity if we don’t post it.”

“Are you going to manage the accounts?”

“Of course I can.” Lu Yuxi raised her eyebrows and apologized. “It’s not a difficult task. Besides, you’re the main character in the video.”

Xu Le finally chopped up the lamb spine into pieces and soaked them in cold water. He said, “I’m fine with it.”

Lu Yuxi looked at the lamb spine and licked her lips. “This thing is like a big bone stick. It should be very satisfying to chew it. The meat is stuck to the bone and you can peel them with your teeth. This process makes me understand why dogs like to chew bones. It really gives you a sense of accomplishment.”

Her final sentence of a strange analogy amused Xu Le. He frowned and said, “What?”

“Do you need any more ingredients? I’ll prepare them for you!”

In order to eat the lamb spine pot faster, Lu Yuxi rubbed her hands excitedly to help.

Xu Le blanched the processed lamb spine and put some ginger slices and yellow wine on it. He turned on the fire and removed the foam on the water surface.

He said, “Pepper granules, cumin granules, a spoonful of fennel, three aniseeds, a piece of cinnamon, four fragrant leaves, two tsaokos… Oh right, bring another piece of orange peel over.”

Lu Yuxi had watched him cook for a long time and was gradually able to distinguish many spices. After gathering them with great difficulty, she handed them over and did not forget to complain. “With so many spices, even if you stir-fry a shoe cushion, it will be delicious.”

Xu Le retorted casually, “Then find a shoe cushion and I’ll cook it for you.”
