Chapter 482 - 482: Eight Dishes And A Soup

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lin Wan had repeatedly prepared several dishes that she excelled at, and they had all turned out quite decent.

“Teacher Bai, do you have any dietary restrictions? For example, ginger, garlic, or cilantro… Is there anything you don’t eat?” Lin Wan asked.

“I don’t eat ginger or garlic, but I quite like cilantro and green onions. As for other vegetables, I don’t have any strong aversions, ” Bai Xue said. [So, Teacher Bai Xue’s culinary preferences are genuine.] [What’s the point of faking it?]

[I share the same preferences with Teacher Bai Xue.]

[I like fatty meat and dislike lean meat. Am I strange?]

[@Previous Poster, you’re bold. I always feel like eating fatty meat is like drinking a jar of oil.]

[Let’s not go overboard with descriptions. It might make others uncomfortable.

Let’s guess what dishes Sister Wan will make.]

[President Su is also eating at the Li family’s house today. I think they’ll make at least eight dishes and a soup.]

“Bai Xue, you can watch from the side while I and Wanwan wash the meat.” Xia MO was reluctant to let her idol do any work.

Bai Xue didn’t want to just stand around and do nothing. After two minutes, she joined them to help with the cooking.

The well water in winter wasn’t very cold, especially since Lin Wan had brought gloves.

“Teacher Bai, do you cook regularly?” Xia MO asked. “I do cook but not very often.”

“You seem quite skilled at washing vegetables.”

“When my mom and others are cooking, I like to help out. Being at home is all about spending more time with family.” “I see.” Xia MO nodded.

[Is Teacher Bai talking about her family?]

[Yes, the three of them are by the well. They look so happy. Xiaxia is laughing loudly. Did Teacher Bai say something funny?]

[Sister Wan even took off her gloves and touched Teacher Bai Xue’s face. Can they speak louder? I want to hear what they’re saying.]

[How can a goddess speak loudly?]

Fans couldn’t figure out why Bai Xue and the others were laughing, so they resorted to sending anxious comments.

Before long, Li Yanchen returned.

He had a fish in his basket, which he had to put in some effort to catch. He had to drill a few holes in the ice and still struggled to catch one.

Su Wei had a basketful of vegetables.

“Bai Xue.”

When she heard the door open, Bai Xue stood up and saw Su Wei walk in.

“Teacher Bai Xue, why are you working?” Su Wei hurried over and asked.

“Why not? Can’t I do a little bit of work?” Bai Xue smiled awkwardly. Then she looked at Li Yanchen. “I’m sorry I came to your house today to join you for a meal.”

“You’re very welcome here.” Li Yanchen nodded.

Lin Wan wiped her hands and walked over to them. “I invited everyone here, Mr. Li. Today, I’ll be cooking, and you’re in charge of the fire.”

“Mr. Li, you should trust me,” Lin Wan whispered softly.

“Well, my wife is in charge of cooking. We’re all in for a treat. Are these veggies not enough? I’ll go pick some more.” “Sure, let’s have at least eight dishes.” [Mr. Li, what about your principles?]

[You’re spoiling Sister Wan.]

[Eight dishes?! Sister Wan, are you sure? Don’t get embarrassed later.] [This is the moment before the surprise… The quiet before the storm, right?]

[Am I the only one looking forward to this? Maybe Sister Wan can really succeed this time.]

[They have to assemble at half-past six. It’s almost five now. If they don’t start soon, will there be enough time to eat?]

“Wanwan, let’s start by stewing the meat. Otherwise, we won’t have time to cook. Two pots at once.” Xia MO remembered that they were supposed to gather at the field later.

“Yes, and Teacher Bai Xue, please call Teacher Qi and the kids. Ask them to come for dinner in half an hour.”

“Half an hour from now?” Bai Xue was in doubt whether eight dishes could be cooked in half an hour.

“Yes. I’ll cook fast,” Lin Wan said,

Qi Yue received the call and reached the Li family’s house.

It was great to spend some time with Li Zexuan and the others.

When Li Zexin returned home, he brought Xiao Yi with him. They had agreed that they would eat together at Li Zexin’s house for the next few days.

At Wheatley’s house, Nannan cooked two dishes. She wanted to finish eating quickly and discuss with Lin Wan whether they should let the children try on the children’s clothing for the livestream tonight at Li’s house.

Tao Jingyuan made a simple meal.

Feifei and Tutu had dinner together with Li Zekai. When they heard that Tutu’s dad was at Li Zekai’s house, they followed them to the Li residence.

Lin Wan thought about Xia Mo’s words and used the seasoning pack she had given her during her trip.

At first, Xia MO was worried. However, she was relieved to see Lin Wan cooking properly. She sighed in relief.

“It looks quite good.” Xia MO turned the livestream camera toward the kitchen.

[Thank you, Teacher Xia.]

[Wow, I can actually see Sister Wan cooking.]

[I was just protesting, and now they’re showing everything.]

[Is Sister Wan cooking properly?]

[Huh? What’s that? Did she just pour a packet directly into the pot? Did Sister Wan secretly learn to cook from someone? Is this a secret recipe?]

“That’s a seasoning packet I made. I was worried that Wanwan couldn’t control the amount well, ” Xia MO said.

[Clever as always, Teacher Xia.]

After finishing cooking a dish, Lin Wan was satisfied and plated it properly. “The presentation looks good, doesn’t it?”

Bai Xue helped place the dish on a warming pad. “It looks pretty good.”

Even Li Zexuan praised her. “Ms. Lin’s cooking is better. I was worried that

Teacher Bai Xue wouldn’t get to eat her fill, but that won’t happen.”

One person cooked, three people helped, and a few more watched. It was easy to imagine the amount of attention Lin Wan’s cooking could attract.

The backstage staff were astonished. They even had hope for tomorrow’s concert. If Lin Wan could cook, couldn’t Li Yanchen sing?

“Should we do a special interview with Lin Wan?” the assistant director asked.

“Interview about what?”

“Don’t you find it inspiring? If Lin Wan can cook eight dishes that taste good, what difficulties can’t people overcome?”

“Come on…” Everyone rolled their eyes.

Cooking was simple. Making a big deal out of it wasn’t appropriate. It might even make Lin Wan feel more useless than before.

At Feifei’s house, Tao Jingyuan finished her work and also went to the Li residence.

The courtyard of the Li family’s house was brightly lit, with around ten people gathered together.

“Everyone’s here.” Tao Jingyuan only realized it when she pushed the gate. It would be impolite to just walk in without greeting.

“Mom.” Feifei got up from his chair.

“Feifei, didn’t you already eat?” Tao Jingyuan looked at the three kids with confusion.

“We did, but Auntie Lin Wan cooked today, and I still feel tempted,” Feifei touched the back of his head awkwardly.

“Lawyer Tao, come over. There’s still room to sit here.” Lin Wan beckoned.

“I’ve already eaten. You all enjoy your meal. Call me when you pass by my place later, and I’ll go to the meeting room with you.” Tao Jingyuan couldn’t eat anymore. She felt awkward to stand there while everyone else was eating.

“Alright.”

After tasting all the dishes, Li Yanchen looked at Lin Wan proudly. “Wanwan, you’re really talented. I remember you only learned three dishes, but you managed to make eight dishes. Impressive!”

Xia MO coughed. After so many failures, calling it talent was a bit much.

The others just smiled without saying a word..
