After more than half a month of practice, Venus was able to cook something basic and she had
mastered the steps and essentials of cooking, so she decided to do it today, starting from the easiest
one—Eight Treasures Porridge.
Under the guidance of Mrs. Qin, Venus measured the rice into a small pot, poured in the right amount
of water, turned on the stove, and started to boil it with medium heat, then switched to low heat.
Fine products came from slow work.
Looking at her increasingly skilled movements, Mrs. Qin was wearing a kind smile and said softly,
“Young lady really has the potential to be a great chef. Though it has only been a few day, you almost
know how to cook.”
Venus shook her head and said gently, “Actually learning more isn’t a bad thing. If I learn how to cook, I
can cook for myself in the future, instead of relying on others.”
Actually, what she didn’t say was that if one day her brother came back, at that time if she could get rid
of Kerry, she wanted to be able to make soup for her dear brother.
Mrs. Qin didn’t know what she’s really thinking and she just thought she wants to learn how to cook so
she can improve her relationship with Kerry. As the saying went, if you wanted to make a man stay,
cook the food he loved.
The two of them chatted as they made it, and soon the heat of the porridge came out through the
edges of the lid, and Mu Venus quickly opened the lid and picked up a spoon to gently stir a few times.
According to Mrs. Qin, if she didn’t stir it, the rice inside would stand at the bottom of the pot, affecting
the taste of the porridge.
After getting used to the smell of grease in the kitchen, Venus no longer found it unbearable and she
did like this mode. At least when she was in the kitchen, it was easy not to see the two disgusting
people.
However…
What were they doing now? They must be sitting on the living room sofa, waiting for dinner.
This time Venus was not right. The huge LCD TV in the living room, at the moment as usual, was
playing some hot channel, while Xinyou who was sitting on the sofa was watching with interest.
Kerry had gone to the study at the moment, dealing with the company’s documents.
Xinyou took a sip of warm coffee and the white fog blurred her sight, with her fingers in the pocket,
thinking about what she should do next.
In the kitchen, both Mrs. Qin and Venus were there, so how was she going to do? Making up a reason
to let Mrs. Qin go?
Thinking of this, Xinyou finally made a decision, staring at a figure in the kitchen, and said resentfully to
herself, “Venus, this time, you fuck off.”
Xinyou slowly stood up and walked to the kitchen door. Looking at the busy ones inside, she said, “Mrs.
Qin, where did Uncle Wang put the Blue Mountain coffee beans he purchased two days ago? Can you
get some for me?”
Mrs. Qin looked at Xinyou, who was leaning on the door with a gentle face, and nodded, saying, “No
problem. I’ll go and bring it for you right away.”
After saying that, she took off her uniform, went to the sink to wash her hands, and walked out of the
kitchen.
Looking at Mrs. Qin’s back, Venus fixed her eyes on the porridge pot, deliberately ignoring her unkind
scrutiny.
The porridge was almost done, so Venus took a spoon to stir it. The aroma of the hot porridge mixed
with the white mist came to her, which made her relax a lot.
Being overly concerned, she didn’t even notice that Xinyou was behind her.
“Wow, good. Look delicious. Venus, you really learn a lot from Mrs. Qin, right?” Xinyou glanced at the
porridge in the pot, raising a sarcastic smile.
For her bad tone, Venus had already gotten used to it. she still needed to do lots of things now, so she
didn’t want to get entangled with her. Without turning her head back, she said coldly, “I don’t have time
to deal with you right now. If you want to fight, find another time!”
Ever since Xinyou said that last time, Venus was always on guard against her. It’s not that she’s afraid
of her, it’s just that she’s so cunning that Venus couldn’t let her guard down.
The porridge was ready. Seeing Mrs. Qin was not coming, she directly went to the cupboard, taking out
three sets of tableware. Each one had different flower patterns and Xinyou immediately saw the one
belonged to her, the one with peony.
Xinyou said in an annoying voice, “I don’t know who owns this set of daisy patterned chopsticks. Bad
taste. This kind of petty flower is really annoying!”
A sulk rose inside when she heard that she was purposely picking on her, but she didn’t want to pay
attention to her right now, lest she ruined her porridge if she went crazy.
When she was sure that the porridge was ready, Venus turned off the fire and began to serve it into the
bowls, but she only served two ones and put on the set of chopsticks with peony pattern on them.
Xinyou knew Venus did it deliberately and she was dissatisfied, “Venus, what do you mean? I think
you’re doing it on purpose!”
Looking at Xinyou’ s ‘indignant’ face, Venus sneered and said indifferently, “Do it yourself, or you can
wait for Mrs. Qin!”
