Chapter 570 One boxed lunch, eating in a corner

Xue Jiashu's mood instantly improved when he saw that Ning Yao had tidied up the kitchen.

"But this fish is beyond saving. It's charred like this, and we can't eat it anymore." Xue Jiashu glanced at the fish that Wenna had ruined, and his mood, which had just improved, instantly sank again.

If Wenna hadn't made such a mess of the kitchen, they would already be eating by now.

Now that the fish is ruined, they don't have enough Peach Blossom Coins to buy another fresh bass, so they can only eat cabbage hearts.

"If the fish is gone, we can just get another one, a bigger one." Ning Yao said nonchalantly, walking over to the production team.

“I just planted all the trees in the field, plus the few Wenna planted this morning, forty trees is just right. You should give me eight Peach Blossom Coins, and I’ll exchange them for a fish, the biggest one, so I can catch it myself.”

After saying that, Ning Yao picked up the fishing net next to her and scooped out a fish in a few swift movements. The fish was very fresh and was jumping around in the net.

When Ning Yao brought the fish into the kitchen, Xue Jiashu and Wen Na finally realized what was happening. They looked at Ning Yao with disbelief in their eyes.

In the time it took them to cook, Ning Yao actually planted all forty trees? How is that possible?

"What are you all standing there for? Come and help! Otherwise, when will we ever get to eat?" Ning Yao called over Xue Jiashu and Wen Na and assigned them tasks.

"Miss Wenna, could you please help wash the bok choy hearts? Mr. Xue, do you know how to kill fish?"

Wenna responded and walked to the sink to pick up the heart of a cabbage and started washing it. Halfway through, she paused, seemingly not realizing why she was being so obedient, doing whatever Ning Yao asked her to do.

Xue Jiashu shook his head, indicating that he did not know how to kill fish.

He's never even stepped into the kitchen, let alone killed fish. People usually prepare whatever he wants to eat, so why would he need to do it himself?

"Then you can wash the dishes after we finish eating," Ning Yao said casually, without forcing anyone to do anything.

Ning Yao first scooped out three portions of rice, then washed it and put it in a bowl. She then scooped a small spoonful of lard and mixed it with the rice grains to ensure that each grain was coated with lard. Next, she took a smoked sausage that the production team had hung in the kitchen, sliced ​​the sausage, and placed it on top of the rice. This time, she set up a bamboo steamer on the stove, ready to steam the rice over high heat.

"That smoked sausage..." The director had barely started speaking when he was interrupted by a young woman's cool voice.

“I’ll exchange the smoked meat and sausages for Peach Blossom Coins. If I don’t have enough Peach Blossom Coins, I’ll take them out after I finish steaming them. I promise I won’t eat them. Is that alright?” Ning Yao didn’t give the director a chance to refuse and put the prepared rice directly into the steamer.

Then, Ning Yao picked up the sea bass again and casually tossed it onto the cutting board with a soft thud.

Before the viewers in the live stream could react, Ning Yao had already picked up a sharp cleaver and chopped off the fish's head, giving the fish a quick death. Then, she skillfully removed the fish's internal organs and rinsed it under clean water.

Ning Yao put the cleaned fish back on the cutting board and made several cuts in its body with a knife.

Sea bass is easy to cook. Just scrape off the scales, wash the whole fish clean, put ginger slices and cooking wine in the slits on the fish, marinate it for a while, and then steam it for about 20 minutes.

After the fish was cleaned, it was placed on a plate and steamed. Just then, Wenna washed the bok choy hearts, brought them over, and handed them to Ningyao.

"Would you like to cook a dish yourself?" Ning Yao didn't immediately take the bok choy from Wen Na's hand, but instead raised an eyebrow and asked.

She can't take up all the screen time, she has to leave some opportunities for Wenna and Xue Jiashu to appear on camera.

But Wenna shook her head and pointed to the big pot on the stove, saying, "I'm not very good at this, you do it."

Ning Yao didn't refuse; she was genuinely hungry and just wanted to eat as soon as possible.

If Wenna is more trouble than she's worth and ruins the ingredients, they might not get to eat lunch.

So she picked up the oil bottle next to her, poured oil into the pot, and after the oil turned slightly red, she threw in the scallions, ginger, garlic and other ingredients and stir-fried them until fragrant.

Finally, he took the washed bok choy hearts from Wenna, waited for the right moment, and threw them in to stir-fry together.

Ning Yao can't be called a master chef, but home-style dishes are no challenge for her. When she was taking care of her children, she often cooked for them. She has made steamed fish and stir-fried vegetables many times, and they are not difficult to cook.

The reason she used this kind of stove from the countryside was because she had spent some time hiding in the countryside during her escape, so she was very familiar with how to use these stoves, spatulas, and other kitchen tools.

Soon, the kitchen was filled with the aroma of rice, mixed with the subtle fragrance of sea bass and the sweet and salty scent of bok choy.

Xue Jiashu and Wen Na were not far away. They were already hungry, and the smell of the food made them even more hungry. They swallowed unconsciously and looked forward to the food that was about to be eaten.

Not only them, but even the production crew outside smelled the aroma of the food. Everyone's stomach started rumbling. They worked in shifts, so they could go eat after the previous group of staff finished eating and came back.

Until these people return, we can only wait and bear with it for now.

These are all quick dishes, easy to make. Ning Yao brought out a piping hot oval plate containing sea bass, picked up the soy sauce next to her, and poured it in seemingly casually, but in fact, she was very particular about where she poured it, soaking the tender sea bass meat in the sauce and making it flavorful.

Wenna helped serve the dishes, and Xue Jiashu went to the corner to get his rice. Everyone was busy preparing for this meal.

The viewers in the live stream looked at the table of dishes, which wasn't much—just a fish and a bok choy—but because the ingredients were fresh and Ning Yao had prepared them beautifully, they looked quite appealing when they were served.

With the added effect of the expressions of those around them, everyone looked on with drooling anticipation, which really whetted their appetites.

[I never expected Yao Yao to be such a good cook! The food looks amazing, I really want to eat it...]

[I'm someone who never eats fish, and for the first time, I was so tempted by a steamed sea bass that I cried! Help!]

[That fish looks so tender! Even though there aren't any seasonings, the best ingredients often require only the simplest cooking methods. Yao Yao must be a chef by training; she can make such a simple fish look so appetizing!]

The bok choy hearts are coated with a light sheen of oil, while minced garlic is piled in the center. All the ingredients are submerged in a pale green broth, simmering gently. Just looking at it, you know it must be sweet and refreshing!

The rice is steamed so well! Every grain is separate, plump, and fluffy. It makes me hungry...

Ning Yao didn't care about anything else. She sat down, picked up her chopsticks, and started eating by herself, without inviting Wen Na and Xue Jiashu.

The two glanced at each other and dropped all pretense. When you're starving, who cares about anything else?

The three sat around a wooden table. The young woman seemed to eat slowly and methodically, but in reality, she ate very quickly. However, her eating was more aesthetically pleasing than that of the two people next to her who were wolfing down their food.

Guan Ying couldn't stand the aroma of the food any longer, so she grabbed a boxed lunch from the production crew and went to a corner to eat.

But Guan Ying knew very well that boxed lunches couldn't compare to the food that Boss Ning cooked himself; they were just for filling one's stomach.
