"That's fine. How about this? You make a dish that you're good at, and you can do it yourself. I'll do the rest myself. Let's see who can cook better!" Li Xianer didn't seem to want Xiao Chen to participate in her cooking process.
"Oh, I'm good at everything. I'll do what you're not good at." Xiao Chen said.
"You're bragging!" Li Xianer was amused when she heard it. "I'm good at everything too!"
"Then let's split it in half." Xiao Chen smiled. "It's faster this way. Otherwise, when will you finish buying so many things?"
"That's fine too!" Li Xianer thought about it and agreed. Anyway, she had two stoves at home!
So, Xiao Chen, Xiao Xiao, and Li Xianer went to the kitchen and got busy. Although the kitchen was small, it was very lively. Xiao Xiao was responsible for washing the vegetables. Xiao Chen and Li Xianer chose the ingredients separately.
However, when it came to cutting vegetables, Li Xianer didn't let Xiao Chen and Xiao Xiao intervene. She did it herself.
Li Xianer's skillful cutting skills surprised Xiao Chen, and Xiao Chen's skills surprised Li Xianer too. It seemed that they weren't bragging!
At least, the level of cutting was comparable to that of a big restaurant.
"Hua …" The two's first dish was put into the pot almost at the same time. As the aroma filled the air, of course, some dishes didn't necessarily taste good just because they smelled good. The amount of seasoning also affected most of the taste.
Both of them were making home-cooked dishes, but the difficulty was quite high. The more ordinary a dish was, the more one could distinguish who was better!
Xiao Chen made San Xian Di, and Li Xianer made Double Cooked Pork. These two dishes were both chef assessment dishes.
However, it was obvious that the color and aroma of the two dishes were comparable. They were quickly placed on the table, and the second dish continued.
Both of them were very fast. In about an hour, twelve dishes were placed on the table in order, and the aroma filled the air.
"Gosh, you two will definitely be popular if you open a restaurant!" Xiao Xiao drooled and praised.
"Hehe, if I live in seclusion one day, I might really want to open a restaurant, but I don't know who can accompany me through this long life …" Li Xian 'er said with some emotion.
As a cultivator, her lifespan was very long. If she had nothing else to do, Li Xianer really planned to open a small shop and spend the long years there. However, in her eyes, the person who would protect her was definitely not Xiao Chen!
Although Xiao Chen was a top warrior and his lifespan had been extended, the difference between him and a cultivator was too great. Unless Xiao Chen's martial arts had reached the pinnacle, he wouldn't be able to make up for this gap.
"My brother!" Xiao Xiao subconsciously felt that Li Xianer was confessing her love. In fact, it sounded like it. In this kind of situation and tone, only Xiao Chen was suitable for her choice.
"Ah?" Li Xianer was stunned. She had only subconsciously sighed. She didn't expect Xiao Xiao to directly say such a sentence. She suddenly felt a little awkward. "Xiao Xiao, your brother and I are not suitable …"
"Yes, she is so guarded against me. It's meaningless for me to be with her." In fact, Xiao Chen was considering whether he should talk to Li Xianer about the fact that they were both cultivators.
After all, it was not a good idea to be so guarded against her. However, out of caution, Xiao Chen restrained himself from this idea!
Li Xianer could only be regarded as a beginner, but Xiao Chen was already an expert in the Great Completion of Foundation Establishment Stage and would soon break through to the Gold Core Stage. This level was already not weak. He was not afraid that after telling Li Xianer, she would ask him for advice. He was mainly afraid that she would leak the secret!
What if there was a cultivator behind Li Xianer? What if others knew? What if there was a more powerful existence?
These were all things that Xiao Chen had to consider carefully. For this cultivation girl whom he had only met a few times, Xiao Chen couldn't tell her the truth. Xiao Chen was not stupid.
"Tsk, you can't even think about it!" Li Xianer curled her lips as if she was implying something. Of course, Xiao Chen understood that he wanted to "secretly learn" about cultivation!
"I'm afraid that you will rely on me!" Xiao Chen said.
"Only a ghost would rely on you!" Li Xianer curled her lips.
"You don't say. I really know ghosts!" Xiao Chen looked at Li Xianer with a faint smile.
"Ahem, don't talk about those things." Li Xianer warned.
"Oh …" Xiao Chen shrugged indifferently.
However, Xiao Xiao was very curious. "Brother, what's the matter? There seems to be a secret between you two? "
"Actually, there isn't. I just met her accidentally once. She was dressed like a ghost." Xiao Chen said. Of course, he didn't mean to lie to Xiao Xiao, but Li Xianer was also there, so he couldn't say it in detail.
Li Xianer bared her teeth and wanted to bite Xiao Chen to death, but she couldn't refute it. Even if she refuted it, Xiao Xiao would still be confused. It was better to admit it directly.
When the dishes were served, the three of them sat around.
"Try my cooking!" Li Xianer changed the topic. "My cooking is top-notch!"
"Let's try my brother's first!" Xiao Xiao picked up the San Xian made by Xiao Chen and put it in her mouth. Then, she said in surprise, "Brother, the dishes you make are really super delicious!"
"Of course, why would I lie to you?" Xiao Chen smiled.
"Hey, hey, hey. Try mine too. Mine is better than his!" Li Xianer was a little unhappy. She said that she would treat, but now it was Xiao Chen who was in the limelight!
However, she was confident because she added ingredients in the dishes she made. No matter how great the chef, Xiao Chen, was, or how he was comparable to the chefs in five-star hotels, it was useless. There was a natural gap.
"Okay!" Xiao Xiao picked up the Yuxiang shredded pork made by Li Xianer with her chopsticks. The taste was really good, so she praised, "It's delicious, and not bad! This is the best Yuxiang shredded pork I've ever eaten. There is no other! "
"Right!" Li Xianer was very proud. "Then, between your brother and me, who's better at cooking?"
"This … it's hard to say. They're both delicious!" Xiao Xiao thought about it and said.
"There has to be a winner, right?" Li Xianer asked persistently.
"Isn't it simple? There's a dish that we prepared a little too many ingredients. We'll each make a plate and let Xiao Xiao have a taste. Whoever is the best will be the best! "Xiao Chen smiled as he pointed at the plate of shredded potatoes on the table.
This was the simplest dish, but it was not easy to make it well. It had to be sour, spicy, and crispy. The heat and knife skills were very important. Because there were more potatoes, both of them took some and made shredded potatoes, so they overlapped.
"That's a good idea!" Li Xianer also agreed. "Only two of the same dishes can tell which is better. Xiao Xiao, try it now!"
"En!" Xiao Xiao took a bite of Xiao Chen's shredded potatoes. After tasting it for a while, she took a bite of Li Xianer's. Both kinds of shredded potatoes seemed to be delicious, but after tasting it, she finally hesitated for a while and said, "It seems that my brother's is better!"
"Impossible!" Li Xianer suddenly became anxious and stared at Xiao Xiao. "You can't be biased just because he is your brother!"
"I'm really not biased." Xiao Xiao shook her head and said, "If you don't believe me, try it yourself!"
"Then I'll try it myself!" Li Xianer said as she picked up the chopsticks and took a bite of Xiao Chen's shredded potatoes. At first, she didn't think much of it, but after chewing it twice, her face suddenly became very interesting, revealing an incredible shock. "How can it be so delicious? But I believe that mine is better … "
After Li Xianer finished speaking, she took a bite of the shredded potatoes she made. Although it was also very delicious, her six senses were also very sharp. She immediately noticed the subtle difference!
Xiao Xiao tasted the problem after eating a few bites, but Li Xianer knew that Xiao Chen's was better than hers after only one bite. She was a little unwilling, so she tasted it again. The result was still the same.
The shredded potatoes made by Xiao Chen are indeed better than mine!
"Do you believe me now?" Looking at Li Xianer's expression, Xiao Chen knew that she must have acquiesced to his opinion.
"How can this be? Xiao Chen, how did you do it? How can you make it better than me? "Li Xianer looked at Xiao Chen incredulously.
"What's wrong with that? I'm a professional chef. I've said it before. It's normal for your level to be worse than mine!" Xiao Chen smiled disapprovingly.
"But … but …" Li Xianer hesitated for a long time, but she didn't know what to say. Could it be that I added Primordial Energy to the food? In this way, it would definitely be more delicious than those five-star hotels!
But it wasn't good to say this in front of Xiao Xiao. She could only glare at Xiao Chen with hatred.
"Okay, is it more meaningful than these things? Let's eat quickly. It's getting cold! " Xiao Chen smiled and said, "Although Li Xianer's level is a little worse than mine, it's still very good!"
"Hmph!" Li Xianer was dissatisfied. "It must be a coincidence. I'll try other dishes!"
After Li Xianer finished speaking, she began to eat other dishes made by Xiao Chen. However, after eating a circle, she was shocked. She could also make these dishes, but she had to admit that the taste was different from Xiao Chen's.
It was just that she couldn't understand why she obviously added Primordial Energy to the food, but it was not as good as Xiao Chen's. Of course, how could she know that she, a beginner cultivator, was comparable to the Foundation Establishment Stage's Great Perfection?
After eating the food made by Xiao Chen, Li Xianer was a little dispirited. She didn't talk much during the meal, but Xiao Xiao ate happily. Xiao Chen also ate a lot.
"Okay, we've all eaten. You cooked well too!" Xiao Chen looked at Li Xianer's sullenness, and he was amused. Cultivators also have the temper of a little girl!
Of course, Xiao Chen knew why Li Xianer was unhappy, but what could her meager Primordial Energy do?
After lunch, Xiao Chen and Xiao Xiao also said goodbye.
They also saw that Li Xianer was not in a good mood and didn't want to talk much. Naturally, they didn't stay any longer. They said goodbye and left Shanty Town.
