Chapter 83 – I can really cook

When Shen Yu returned home, the courtyard door opened and Bai Xiaomeng, sleeping on a stone table, saw a smug Su Zhifu in the back seat of his car and, not to be outdone, came out in a huff and sat on his butt in the basket.

“What are you doing running up here when you’re already home.”

“Meow meow!”

Shen Yu, speechless, parked the electric car and Su Zhifu climbed down on his own in the back seat, while Bai Xiaomeng also got out of the basket, turned his head to look at the crushed onion in the basket and rushed away.

” Shen Yu, you’re back!”

Asaba Rika saw Su Zhifu on the electric cart and was envious of the fact that she was able to hang on to Shen Yu’s back like this, as he would have thrown her onto the road if she had been carrying him like this.

“I didn’t find any meat filling, so I probably ran out and bought some pork back and chopped it up myself.”

Shen Yu lifted the vegetables out of the cart basket and took them to Asaba Rika for inspection.

Rika simply looked through the groceries and found that they were all there, but the quantities were a bit too much.

“It’s okay, Shen Yu, you’ve worked hard! I’ll go up and cook!”

“I’ll do it.”

“Eh?”

Before Asaba Rika knew it, Shen Yu had already taken over the dishes and gone up to the first floor kitchen to prepare them.

“I’ll come too I’ll come too! I’m the best at making dumplings!”

Su Zhifu shouted and followed Shen Yu upstairs.

In the kitchen, Shen Yu places the dishes on the kitchen counter and is at a loss as to how to proceed.

Asaba Rika, who was shooed out and stood at the kitchen door, reminded, “Wash all the vegetables first, then chop them into stuffing ……”

“You think I don’t know that?”

Shen Yu started to wash the vegetables, the pork was the most difficult to wash, this kind of fatty brisket, the hands were greasy to wash.

Shen Yu also had a hard time killing the prawns, which were so alive and well that he couldn’t be bothered to remove the shells, like many novices in the kitchen who know how to cook duck and fish and other delicacies, but feel uncomfortable when you ask them to kill chickens and fish.

” Puffs , you coming?”

“I don’t want to kill prawns!”

Su Zhifu took the scissors and tried to cut the head of the prawn, but the way the prawn tossed and turned scared her and said that it was so pathetic that she wouldn’t eat it anymore.

“I’ll add some water and drown them.”

Su Zhifu was about to put the prawns in the sink when Shen Yu shooed her away, fished them out and cut them with scissors.

” Brother Shen Yu, does the prawn hurt? You cut its head, it must be very painful, right?”

“…… Can you stop talking, how can I cut it if you’re like this, how do you Mum usually kill prawns?”

“She didn’t kill the prawns, we eat red prawns at home, not these white ones.”

“You go and pick the little onions, I don’t want to see you.”

“Hmph!!!”

Su Zhifu went over to talk to Asaba Rika, who was peeling kernels of corn, and with a quick glance she saw the cut on his left hand caused by a wooden skewer.

” Rika sister, what happened to your hand?”

“It hurt, and Shen Yu was afraid I wouldn’t heal if I touched the water, so he’s making dumplings for us today.”

Shen Yu, who was killing prawns on the other side of the room, had a good ear and muttered, “I just want to cook today, can’t I?”

No one paid any attention to him.

“That must have hurt a lot, huh?”

Su Zhifu said, “Let me blow on it for you. I usually fall down and blow on it and it doesn’t hurt anymore.”

“It doesn’t hurt, just a little bit actually, it’ll be over soon.”

Asaba Rika loves to talk to Su Zhifu and she has always loved children, especially cute ones like Puffs, and whenever she sees her with her little arms and legs carrying a fat Bai Xiaomeng into the house, she can’t help but say Kawaii.

” Puffs have you made any new friends at school?”

“Yes, I’m best with Li Mutian, we’re at the same table and I even saved her life!”

“!!! What’s wrong with her?”

“Just last week, Li Mutian fell and broke her hand, so I remembered how to save people on TV. You saved my life, let’s be friends secretly. And then we became best friends!”

“Then Li Mutian also told me a secret, she said that the honeysuckle tea in the office was very good and extra sweet, but the teacher only gave it to children with fever, then she took me with her and ran to the playground to get some sun, and when my forehead was hot, I went to the teacher, and she did pour us tea.”

Asaba Rika also admired the cleverness and resourcefulness of the two children after listening to them.

Like a curious little child, she asked in a rush, “Is that honeysuckle tea really sweet?”

Su Zhifu deflated, “I don’t think it’s very sweet, but Li Mutian particularly likes it.”

“So what do you do with your herbs ……”

“It’s super complicated, I searched the whole school to find this much grass ……”

Shen Yu, who had been eavesdropping on the two of them, felt like her IQ was being rubbed on the ground, but the point is that Rika had managed to get on a chat channel with Puffs!

After cleaning the ingredients, Shen Yu is ready to start chopping the meat.

He placed a whole piece of pork on the chopping board, took the knife and was ready to start chopping.

Asaba Rika reminded, ” Shen Yu …… It’s faster to cut the meat first before chopping it ……”

“You think I don’t know that?”

Shen Yu said he was in trouble and then started cutting the meat, feeling the blade running around his fingertips, he couldn’t help but increase his concentration, except that the meat was a bit disobedient, it always felt like the blade would go askew when he put pressure on it.

Asaba Rika also reminded, ” Shen Yu , you can easily cut your hand like this, the fingertips should be retracted inside ……”

“How could I have cut my hand? Hiss ……!”

Then Shen Yu cut to the hand.

His left hand jerked and the knife in his right hand was released, instantly pinching his left index finger as a few crimson blood bubbled out of the cut.

“Huh? Shen Yu how are you!!!”

Asaba Rika was startled and immediately became anxious, took a packet of tissues, swished out several sheets of toilet paper, rushed to Shen Yu first, then held his hand, wrapped his finger with tissue paper, but did not dare to press hard, afraid of his pain.

“Let’s go to the hospital! It’s my fault, if I didn’t want to cook you wouldn’t have cut your hand ……”

He could feel the warmth of Rika’s left hand holding him, and could clearly see the anxiety between her brows, her eyes misting up as she was about to cry.

Suddenly there was some warmth in her heart, and she was so close to him that she felt an involuntary pounding of her heart.

“I’m fine, it’s just a little cut …… I’m watching …… I jerked my hand as soon as the knife went askew ……”

“You’re bleeding! I, I’ll get the medicine ……”

“It’s really okay …… hey? Don’t you cry …… It’s my hand that’s cut, why are you crying ……”

When he saw Asaba Rika crying, Shen Yu also became anxious, for he was most afraid of girls crying.

So she hurriedly took off the tissue and showed her the wound. It was good to see that the cut was indeed not too deep and that the blood was no longer coming out if she didn’t touch it.

Asaba Rika held his hand and looked at it carefully, hating to look at it with a magnifying glass, until he was relieved that it was not serious.

Shen Yu felt a little uncomfortable being held by her hand like this, his face felt hot and he didn’t dare to look at her.

“Let me help you with your medication ……”

“It’s no bother, I’ll just do it myself, after dinner.”

He drew back his hand without leaving a trace and had to continue cutting the meat.

But Asaba Rika wouldn’t let him cut any more, so she put on her own gloves, picked up the chopping board and began to cut and chop the meat with a skill that Shen Yu couldn’t catch up with in a century.

As Shen Yu watched her work, Su Zhifu took his hand and blew on his cheek.

“Blow on it and it won’t hurt!”

“But I always feel like you’re blowing saliva all over my hands.”

“My spit works too!”

“Are you a dog.”

Shen Yu went out to get the medicine box, there was still a lot of medicine left from yesterday’s purchase, so she simply disinfected it, wrapped a band-aid and came over to help wrap the dumplings.

Asaba Rika had already prepared the filling and sat with Su Zhifu at the table to make the dumplings, which were made in much the same way, but the home-made dumplings were, of course, more filling.

” Shen Yu you’ve hurt your hand, I’ll just wrap it.”

Asaba Rika looked at the band-aid wrapped around his index finger and just felt her heart ache. It was clearly his hand that was cut, but she also clearly felt the pain, her heart felt like it was clawing at her, and her little brows furrowed together when she saw his wound.

Inside, it’s complicated and I feel like I’m to blame.

“It’s really fine, you’re making me think I’ve cut my finger off.”

” Shen Yu No nonsense, next time, next time no nonsense ……”

The three of them then made dumplings together.

Apart from Su Zhifu, both Shen Yu and Rika are somewhat silent.

Shen Yu is concentrating on the dumplings, but he can’t let Rika underestimate him by not being able to do anything.

Asaba Rika was a little distracted, staring at his band-aided finger every now and then, still worried.

“Can you stop looking at me like that, I’m really fine ……” Shen Yu is not blind either and is uncomfortable being looked at by her.

“Okay ……” Asaba Rika held back from looking at him.

The room fell silent.

Until Su Zhifu was surprised to discover that

” Shen Yu’s brother has a mouth on his hand and Rika’s sister has a mouth on her hand, so that makes you two together!”

Rika reacted, blushing and looking down without saying anything, the dumpling filling in her hand was stuffed to the brim and she was still adding to it ……

Shen Yu wants to talk and stop talking and stop talking and wanting.

Still less homework for primary school students ……
