Chapter 109: Live alone (1)

He had seen people rolling noodles, rolling dumpling skins, but rolling meat…… It was really the first time.

“Huh? You didn’t sleep?”

Su Xiaoxiao casually looked up and saw Wei Ting who was stunned at the door.

Wei Ting restrained his expression without any trace and walked in with his crutch: “I'm a little hungry.”

Su Xiaoxiao let out a ‘oh’ sound, she didn’t have any doubt, and said, “You came just in time, help me add some firewood.”

She thought that according to this guy's personality, he would definitely refuse her with disdain. But unexpectedly, he silently sat down on the small bench in front of the stove.

He put his crutch aside, then he took the dry firewood from behind and threw it in one by one.

Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows unexpectedly and said, “You behave really well tonight.”

Wei Ting asked, “Is there anything to eat?”

Su Xiaoxiao continued to roll the meat and said, “Yes, but you have to wait for a while, I still haven’t finished it yet.”

Wei Ting began his lengthy wait.

Su Xiaoxiao rolled out the cooked lean meat piece by piece, and then shred it into minced meat little by little.

Wei Ting looked at her strangely.

Not only did she have medical skills that he had never heard of, but she also often created some dishes and snacks that he had never eaten before.

This was most probably a new trick again, he didn’t know how it would taste.

Normally, he was the one who only ate, and this was the first time he watched her cooking.

She looked so serious when she cooks, but it was not quite the same as when she was practicing medicine.

“Do you really like cooking very much?”

“Because it's very relaxing (jieya)* ah.”

*jieya (解压) : decompression (in digital technology) / to extract data from a compressed file ; to relieve one’s stress.

What kind of nonsense was this?

That’s right, this woman's mouth often popped up with some words that he couldn’t understand.

Su Xiaoxiao put the shredded meat into a pot, then added salt, sugar, and a little soy sauce. Stir fried until tender and it was ready to serve.

“You try this.”

She handed the plate to Wei Ting.

“Chopsticks.” Wei Ting said.

“So fussy!” Su Xiaoxiao pouted her lips and turned around. Then she took a pair of clean chopsticks from the cupboard and handed them to him.

Wei Ting picked up a small piece of minced meat and tasted it slowly.

“How does it taste?” Su Xiaoxiao asked him.

He chewed it carefully, it was salty with a hint of sweetness. It was also frizzled, not oily, but also not dry. He couldn't describe the specific taste, but the taste was very novel and unique.

He couldn't help but take another bite, and the more he chewed, the more delicious it tasted.

“What is this?” he asked.

“Meat floss!” Su Xiaoxiao said with a smile, “How is it? It tastes good, right?”

-Meat Floss

“Not bad.” Wei Ting said lightly.

Su Xiaoxiao had expected that this guy would pour cold water* on her, and she was already used to it. She snorted and brought back the large plate of meat floss.

*pour / throw cold water on someone : to dampen the enthusiasm or interest of others.

Wei Ting’s chopsticks could only reach empty air.

Su Xiaoxiao held the plate and raised her eyebrow at him, while saying, “If you say it's delicious, then I'll give it all to you!”

Wei Ting said expressionlessly, “Childish!”

“Humph!” Su Xiaoxiao tossed her head arrogantly, then she put down the meat floss, and brought out a bowl of chestnut stuffing.

This bowl of chestnuts was made by Mrs. Wu when she was taking shelter here, and it was pounded well and meticulously.

The most important thing was that Mrs. Wu's work was immaculate, which completely met the standard of her slight obsession about cleanliness.

Su Xiaoxiao saw that this kind of employee would be hard to find.

Su Xiaoxiao fried a chestnut meat floss cake and continued to let Wei Ting taste it.

-Meat floss cake (T/N: I think it will look similar to this)

“How is it?” she asked.

“It seems a bit too salty, and I can’t taste the chestnut.” Wei Ting said.

“Then I will put less meat floss.” She made another one.

“Too sweet.” Wei Ting said.

“There's too much sugar.” She reduced the amount of sugar and chestnuts and handed the third cake to Wei Ting. “What about this time?”

Wei Ting tasted it carefully and said, “The stuffing is just right, but the skin is a bit hard.”

Su Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and said, "The heat is too high... you should put in less firewood.”
