Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 1951: Chapter 1931:

”It seems to be the scent of peaches.” An Hao pondered seriously and said.

”...” Seeing Taozi with a stain of peach juice on her chest, Luo Qianqian shook her head helplessly. From a certain angle, it really was the peach scent.

”I’ve decided to start wearing perfume in the future to avoid leaving traces.” Luo Qianqian declared assertively.

To her surprise, An Hao showed a face of disdain: ”Mom wears it every day, but she still smells like herself. Mixing scents isn’t pleasant and doesn’t smell as nice as Black Cat’s milk scent.”

Luo Qianqian: ”...” How do you even respond to this?

If you say that all men claim to love natural beauty, boyfriends and husbands say it to save money, but why are brothers saying the same?

Does it really smell bad?

Luo Qianqian was also in doubt.

He Wenyu pushed the door open and walked in, carrying two huge fish that were still flopping around: ”Shiqi, go handle the fish, you’re out of time, be careful and let Di Jun follow you, in case of any injury, get treated immediately!” After saying that, he rushed into the kitchen, leaving Luo Qianqian bewildered.

Does handling fish really require backup? Am I that clumsy?

Di Jun obediently followed suit, knowing Luo Qianqian’s actual abilities. He was actually quite proficient with fish handling himself now, and if things don’t work out, he could step in.

Watching Luo Qianqian as she held the lively fish, a Silver Needle pierced down, and it stopped reacting immediately, which made Di Jun shiver involuntarily.

”Are you sure you can do it? I see you seem eager to try.” Luo Qianqian directly looked at Di Jun, genuinely offering her spot.

Di Jun nodded: ”I’ve eaten quite a bit of fish recently, so I’ve gained some proficiency. There shouldn’t be anything special about this method...”

As soon as the words fell, Luo Qianqian quietly returned to her position, sighed at Di Jun, ”You just watch me for a bit, this is different from grilling fish.”

After all, with grilling fish, you only need to remove the innards, coat it with sauce, and sprinkle some seasoning, right?

In this aspect, it’s relatively easier than other cooking methods at least.

”Alright, just slow down a bit, I’m afraid I can’t keep up.” After all, Luo Qianqian’s speed in making moves is quite fast, even the ’Skyfall Dagger’ move really so.

Of course, this was a name he gave to Luo Qianqian’s move; how could such a name exist? It sounds utterly ridiculous...

Luo Qianqian instantly blacklined, she would slow down even when using a kitchen knife. Even if she did want to slow down, she couldn’t, due to her fear. Afraid of cutting her hand, and there was no way around it, so she was quite helpless.

After watching Luo Qianqian’s actions for a while, Di Jun said, ”You don’t need to go that slow, I got it.”

”Then give it a try.” Luo Qianqian gave Di Jun the opportunity to practice, generously stepped back, washed her hands, and waited with an expectant look.

Di Jun moved swiftly, his cuts precise, every slice of fish was uniform in size and thickness. Luo Qianqian was astonished.

At this level, he would surely be popular for slicing sashimi! This must be talent, right?

Unlike her, who only mastered boiling water, cooking rice, and making noodles; everything else remains dim.

He Wenyu, on the other hand, brightens up upon eating each dish, it’s truly admirable...

”What about these fish bones?” Looking at the neatly cut fish bones, Di Jun felt proud; such beautiful fish bones, truly worthy of his masterpiece!

”Take them to her later, fry them to make soup, hopefully with Mo’s help we can finish it quickly.” Pointing at the other fish, Luo Qianqian happily relaxed, completely disregarding the initial fish slices she cut, watching with no pressure.

When He Wenyu saw a plate of fish slices and clean fish bones, he instinctively asked: ”Did Di Jun prepare this?”

Luo Qianqian blacklined: ”Alright, whoever prepared it, just fry it and start making the soup, okay? Otherwise, when will this be finished?”

”Exactly, and we still need to send a portion to Forget Worries Tea House later.” Quickly frying it in oil and then tossing it into a clay pot: ”Keep an eye on it, let me know when it’s about six or seven-tenths done.”

”Why call you then? The water isn’t ready.” Luo Qianqian asked, puzzled.

”Add the seasoning, dear, and also serve them some clear fish slices later for those two.” He said hurriedly while looking at the curious Taozi and An Hao.

Luo Qianqian nodded. Handling family matters wasn’t something she would forget, but she had to admit, do these kids need to stare over here? It’s as if they plan to sneak some bites...

Glancing at Di Jun with two more fish in hand, Luo Qianqian’s eyes widened: ”Are you addicted?” Getting addicted to slicing fish slices? This truly is quite baffling...

”No, the dean asked me to prepare another batch, slow-cook a smaller pot to feed the kids.” Di Jun calmly said, then turned to Luo Qianqian: ”There’s something odd here, come take a look.”

”Something odd?” Luo Qianqian came over curiously, and the next second, she was stunned... A pile of little black round beads, resembling fish scales...

”Shiliu, there are fish eggs here!” Luo Qianqian stared at the round shapes on the cutting board, completely stunned. After all... he had never seen fish eggs like this?

He Wenyu came over, took a glance, was also stunned, then said: ”You should get a bowl to store them first. See if they can be released; we’ve only eaten marinated fish roe before, which looks different from this. It feels like this might hatch in a few days, truly feels guilty.”

Luo Qianqian nodded repeatedly; although she couldn’t claim to have never eaten fish roe, doing so was at least with cooked ingredients. Now, this was simply too cruel.

Besides, raw fish roe is salty and has a strange taste, truly unbearable...

Seeing their behavior, Di Jun breathed a sigh of relief. Earlier he was worried these two would consume these little lives...

”I’ll take care of it.” The old man expressed a face of remorse, feeling careless. Holding the bowl, he left the courtyard and soon returned: ”Released, but who knows what will happen.”

Considering these were just eggs, who knows if defenseless fish eggs would get eaten by other aquatic creatures? Though some might be consumed, hopefully, some will grow up successfully, making the effort worthwhile.

Watching the old man, both Luo Qianqian and He Wenyu breathed a sigh of relief.

Like choosing female crabs and mantis shrimps as favorites, but always feeling unable to eat living eggs, it’s simply too hard to swallow...
