Chapter 61 - 61 Don't Understand The Appropriate Amount
61 Don’t Understand The Appropriate Amount
“Let’s take it down.” In the end, Fang Yao agreed with Yin Xun’s initial suggestion.
Yin Xun, “…”
She knew it.
“How did you make this dish?” Fang Yao had never eaten such a bad dish before and could not help but ask out of curiosity.
Yin Xun had been observing Fang Yao’s expression as he ate. Although Fang Yao was trying his best to hide his pain, Yin Xun still noticed it.
She picked up her chopsticks and picked up a piece to try. Although she made it herself, she was not as strong as Fang Yao. She only chewed for a moment before spitting the food into the trash can.
“It really tastes awful.” Yin Xun smiled awkwardly. “Actually, I followed a recipe step by step. It’s just that when I added the seasoning, the recipe just said to add the appropriate amount. Anything is appropriate. I don’t know how much this appropriate amount is.”
“I was afraid that if I added too little seasoning and the taste would be too faint, so I added more salt. I didn’t expect it to be like this.”
Yin Xun was playing it down. Actually, she did not add just a little salt. She added all kinds of seasonings, which was why the dishes were so salty.
After listening to Yin Xun’s explanation, Fang Yao sighed. As expected, he should not have had any expectations for Yin Xun.
He should have thought of this when he heard the clattering in the kitchen. People who actually knew how to cook would not be so flustered.
Yin Xun said guiltily, “Well, actually, I’m just not used to it. But I know how to add seasoning now. There is still a lot of food in the kitchen. I’ll definitely succeed if I make a few more dishes…”
Yin Xun took the stir-fried meat with mushrooms and planned to throw it away.
As she spoke, she walked toward the kitchen. Fang Yao looked at her muttering and felt a little helpless.
He got up and walked to the kitchen as well. However, he did not expect that just as he reached the door, Yin Xun would close it with a bang.
Fang Yao, “…”
Yin Xun returned to the kitchen and looked at the various ingredients in front of her. She did not know where to start.
She still wanted to find an opportunity to discuss the collaboration with Fang Yao. If she did not treat Fang Yao well first, the collaboration would most likely fail. She had thought about ordering takeout, but unfortunately, takeout was only available in the city, not in such a remote place.
However, that made her think of another business opportunity. The residents here were all wealthy people, so she could open a high-end restaurant to serve the rich folk here.
Yin Xun sighed. There were indeed advantages to being behind. There were business opportunities everywhere.
However, no matter how good the business opportunity was, it was a matter for the future. It was more important to resolve the current matter first. Fang Yao was still waiting outside for dinner, but she did not know how to cook. She had no choice but to ask Mary for help.
Yin Xun picked up her phone and walked to the far corner of the kitchen to call Mary, hoping she could guide her on the phone.
“President Yin, cooking is actually very simple. You just need to add the right amount of oil, the right amount of salt, and the right amount of seasoning.” Mary guided her easily over the phone.
Yin Xun’s head was about to explode when he heard that everything had to be in the ‘right’ amount.
“So what’s the right amount?” Yin Xun asked.
Hearing Yin Xun’s question, Mary was in a dilemma. She said, “It depends on how many dishes you put in, how much oil…”
Before Mary could finish, there was a knock on the kitchen door.
“Mr. Fang, please wait a moment. I’ll be done soon,” Yin Xun said embarrassedly.
She thought that Fang Yao was losing his patience, but she was caught off guard when she heard him say, “Come out. Let me do it.”
“Huh?” Yin Xun hung up the call and opened the kitchen door. Only her head was revealed as she looked at Fang Yao in shock. “You know how to cook? But you’re a guest. It’s embarrassing to ask you to cook.”
“You must let the guests eat.” Fang Yao glanced at the stir-fried meat with mushrooms on the kitchen table. “Won’t you feel even more embarrassed about this dish?”
Yin Xun felt that Fang Yao had a point.
Fang Yao continued, “Also, any food you make can’t be eaten. This is called wasting food. It’s shameful to waste food.”
Yin Xun stammered, “Uh, that’s true.”
Although Fang Yao was right, she felt that something was wrong.
Fang Yao did not give Yin Xun time to react. He pushed open the door and walked into the kitchen. Although Yin Xun felt embarrassed, it was her fault for not being good at cooking, so she obediently watched Fang Yao cook.
She did not expect Fang Yao to know how to cook even with his noble status. His movements were skillful. He cut the vegetables, put them in the pot, and stirred the ladle. He was as smooth as a chef on television.
Before long, Fang Yao had prepared a table full of delicious dishes.
