Chapter 16 Cooking
Su Ming thought for a while before realizing that Lance was beaten by Xia Xiaoyu. In Flora's eyes, this situation was just a very "ordinary" thing.
So Su Ming could only stand so awkwardly, waiting for Lance to get up by himself.
After a long time, Lance climbed up from the ground with difficulty. He naturally accepted the reality that he had been covered in bruises and still focused on Su Ming.
At this moment, his eyes seemed to want to kill someone.
But Lance's body no longer allowed him to continue to compete with Su Ming here, so he stared at Su Ming with a murderous look and said viciously: "Wait for me!"
Su Ming was stunned.
Why did he ask me to wait? Shouldn't he notice his injuries?
After Lance put down his harsh words, he held his waist and limped away.
Su Ming turned to look at Xia Xiaoyu and asked in surprise: "Why did you hit him!"
"He wants to attack you."
"Didn't you see that I'm ready to be beaten?"
"Believe it or not, if you don't resist, he will definitely beat you halfway to death. I can tell at a glance that this person is a person with no sense of restraint. He won't know what to hold back." Xia Xiaoyu looked at Su Ming with a feeling of grievance, "You seem to be unhappy. Don't you want me to teach him a lesson for you?"
"That man seems to have a good status. I feel like I'm getting into big trouble." Su Ming frowned.
Xia Xiaoyu: "You can't get rid of this trouble at all. If I beat him up, he won't think it was you who beat him. He will only regard his injuries as a normal event.
He said harsh words in the end not because I beat him up, but because he didn't plan to let you go.
But don't worry, with me here, no one can do anything to you."
Flora, who had been standing next to her, said, "I'm sorry, that guy is so manic, thank you for not having a conflict with him."
Su Ming was stunned for a moment.
It seems that Xia Xiaoyu is right. In Flora's eyes, Lance's injury became a matter of course. She did not associate Lance's beaten to him at all... This ability is too convenient.
"You sit in the restaurant, I'll cook," said Flora. "I'm so embarrassed to have such an unpleasant experience."
"It doesn't matter."
After Su Ming finished speaking, he turned to Xia Xiaoyu.
"Your superpowers are so awesome." Su Ming gave a thumbs up.
"There is nothing to envy, this is a curse." Xia Xiaoyu said quietly.
Su Ming and Xia Xiaoyu came to the restaurant to sit down. Flora was cooking in the kitchen. She first took out the ingredients from the refrigerator, then skillfully chopped them up, mixed a salad, then fryed two more pieces of steak, and finally stir-fryed a few dishes.
Su Ming sat at the dining table, looking at Flora's back who was busy cooking, and was stunned. The beautiful woman's cooking was always pleasing to the eye and gave people a very virtuous feeling.
"She is very beautiful, right? And she is also very virtuous." Xia Xiaoyu suddenly said.
Su Ming shook his head and said seriously:
"No, I am observing her cooking method. In the world before I traveled through time, Chinese and Western food were two completely different schools. Westerners rarely use iron pots in their daily lives, and Easterners rarely use steak and bread as staple food.
But I think Flora seems to be proficient in two ways, so I just wondered if all the cooking methods have been integrated after more than two hundred years."
"Do you eat habits? I do seem to have seen research on this aspect, but what you said about Western and Chinese food is not completely correct. Now Western restaurants and Chinese restaurants are completely separate, so I can only say that Flora's skills are great, and both Chinese and Western food can be made.
But don't you find it strange? Flora is obviously a nobleman, but she can cook."
"Not surprising. The nobles on TV I used to watch would learn etiquette, flower arrangement and painting from an early age. Maybe cooking was also one of the aristocratic educations of the Osborne family, and her cooking skills looked great."
"Only no nobles will let their children learn cooking skills to this extent. Flora's knife skills are perfect, but the overly professional techniques have weakened her elegance when cooking... This is not the case for the nobles."
"Maybe it's just a hobby." Su Ming replied.
Xia Xiaoyu stopped talking. She frowned and looked at Flora's busy back, thinking.
While Su Ming and Xia Xiaoyu were chatting, Frola had already brought all the dishes. When she saw these dishes, Su Ming was shocked.
He thought that as a nobleman, the dishes he cooked should be very high-end, but these dishes in front of him were just ordinary home-cooked dishes.
Fried beef with green peppers, fried eggs with Xihong City, fried chicken legs with fried chicken legs, and Su Ming had eaten them before traveling through time, and every household would make them more or less.
In addition to these three dishes full of Chinese flavors, there is also a plate of steak. This plate of steak looks very tall and elegant. Whether it is the combination of sauce or the decoration next to the steak, it gives people the illusion that it can only be eaten in high-end restaurants.
"Xia Xiaoyu, I admit that you are right. Flora is indeed a little strange." Su Ming frowned.
Xia Xiaoyu: "Do you know something is wrong?"
"I don't know yet, I can only say that Flora is not normal."
"intuition?"
"Yes, my intuition has always been very accurate." Su Ming replied, "but I am not saying that Flora is a bad guy. I mean, there are still things we haven't noticed in Flora."
Upon hearing this, Xia Xiaoyu nodded, went to the kitchen to get a pair of chopsticks, and returned to the table to sit down.
Flora smiled at Su Ming: "Sorry, I don't know how to cook many dishes, but I believe they taste good."
"It looks very delicious." Su Ming flattered, "but I am not a nobleman, and I may not have a very elegant appearance."
"It's okay, please use it!"
Su Ming was not polite and started eating directly.
Flora's craftsmanship is amazing, and the home-cooked dishes are very delicious, not inferior to the exquisite steak.
But compared to the dishes on the table, Su Ming cared more about Flora's attitude.
Her attitude was quite strange from the beginning. For some reason, Su Ming felt that Flora seemed to deliberately try to get closer to him.
But this feeling is not strong, so Su Ming cannot tell whether it is he being self-indulgent or super-intuitive.
Speaking of which, he seems to be particularly fond of women. Xia Xiaoyu treats him very well, and Flora seems to have a good impression of him. Are these just coincidences?
Or do you really have this potential characteristic?
"Is it delicious?" Flora asked.
“Super delicious.”
"If you want, you can come and eat at any time. I usually cook by myself, but eating alone is boring. If you can come to accompany me, I will be very happy." Flora said with a smile.
Su Ming looked up at the other party and nodded slightly.
