Chapter 28 - Chapter 28: Chapter 28 Ning Yue’s Cooking Skills (2/2)

But after an accident befell Luo Luo’s father, all the household responsibilities fell squarely on Ning Yue’s shoulders.

Not only did she have to take care of Luo Luo, but she also had to find ways to earn Spirit Stones, leaving her no time to specifically learn how to cook.

After all, in Fang Market, one could hardly move an inch without Spirit Stones.

But now things were okay, as she had earned quite a few Spirit Stones from alchemy a while ago, and she didn’t have to worry about Spirit Stones for the time being.

Moreover, ever since she had tasted the food made by Lin Jing, eating her own cooking…

Was like eating chalk and cheese, simply too hard to swallow.

No wonder even Luo Luo would come over to air her grievances.

Both of them busied themselves with the cooking, and indeed, it was much faster than when Lin Jing worked alone; in less than half an hour, the meal had already been served.

And Luo Luo had already been sitting at the table, unable to contain her impatience.

Once the three of them were seated, Luo Luo quickly picked up a piece of meat and put it in her mouth.

“So delicious…” Luo Luo mumbled unclearly.

“Luo Luo, try this one.”

Lin Jing pointed to a plate of green vegetables as he spoke.

Ning Yue felt somewhat nervous beside him because she was the one who had cooked this dish.

“Okay, Uncle Lin’s cooking is always delicious.”

As she spoke, Luo Luo picked up a piece of the vegetable and put it in her mouth.

After chewing twice, she seemed to sense something wrong; her small face scrunched up, and then with a “wah,” she spat the vegetable out. “Uncle, this isn’t made by you, is it?”

Luo Luo asked with a pained expression, looking at Lin Jing and simultaneously giving Ning Yue a sidelong glance that could not have been more obvious.

Initially, he hadn’t planned on letting Ning Yue try her hand at cooking, but after watching for a while, she wanted to give it a try.

So, Lin Jing agreed to it.

Turning to Ning Yue, her face was already beet red to the tips of her ears at this moment.

Lin Jing also felt curious; was it really that bad?

With that thought, he reached out with his chopsticks, picked up a piece of green vegetable, and put it into his mouth.

This taste…

Salty mixed with sour, and after chewing twice more, a bitter taste spread throughout his mouth, which was no wonder Luo Luo had spat it out directly.

Lin Jing looked at Ning Yue with a strange look in his eyes.

Ning Yue, feeling embarrassed, lowered her head.

Lin Jing swallowed the green vegetable in his mouth with difficulty and chuckled.

“Hehe…”

“Not bad, keep trying next time.”

“Let’s hurry up and eat before the dishes get cold.”

It seemed teaching Ning Yue how to cook was going to be quite the long and arduous journey…

After the meal, with nothing much to do, Lin Jing started discussing alchemy with Ning Yue.

Time flowed like water and slipped away in an instant.

When the two of them snapped back to reality, it was already time to have dinner.

This time, under Lin Jing’s guidance, Ning Yue stir-fried another dish, which, after being tasted by their little taste tester Luo Luo…

Received a verdict of ‘edible’.

Ning Yue rolled her eyes, but her joy was evident in her expression.

In the following days, the two of them came over often.

Each time they arrived, they would bring some chicken, fish, meat, and vegetables, clearly showing Ning Yue’s determination to learn cooking well.

During these evenings, besides practicing alchemy, Lin Jing also went out once or twice, selling some elixir medicines.

Until this day.

Lin Jing had just finished selling some Elixir Medicine and bid farewell to the Shopkeeper.

As he walked down the street, Lin Jing consistently felt something was off—he had the sense that someone was following him.

He stealthily looked back but saw nothing.

Lin Jing’s brow furrowed tightly; during this time, he had been very careful, selling Elixir Medicines in different shops every time.

Plus, the quantity sold was not large, so certainly, he should not have drawn any tailing from anyone.

As he pondered with his brows knitted, a plan suddenly sprang up in his mind.

Lin Jing’s lips curved into a smile:

“Let’s see whether it’s just my imagination or if someone is indeed following
