21. To the kitchen

General Wang stood in front of the other box and poked his finger at it. He wanted to see his gear as well but feared to break something.

In just two steps, Li Na came to the box and just like before, pulled the tape and the box opened up. She slowly opened the box, moved the silk paper away and stepped back.

She could see excited expressions on their faces and looked at the two women that just rolled their eyes. As it seems, it was not the first time for them to see such expressions on their faces.

She went to one cute bag and opened it up. "These are my clothes that mom and dad prepared for me. Can I put them into the closet?"

Lee Meili waved her hand and one of the servants came back inside and took the bag towards the nearest closet.

Li Na was used to having servants even at home. They were not there all day, but this was not unusual for her. She let the servant unpack her stuff and pointed at one of the brown boxes on the side.

"Mom sent you both some beauty items from our world that are very good for the skin. And perfumes and many other things." Li Na was astonished by her mother's crazy buying. Creams, vitamins, supplements...

They looked at the tiny things and then at her in wonder. "What are all these?"

The few servants that they had around them wrote a death contract, so they were fearless of showing this child to them. After the last escapade, they released all the servants that had no permanent contract with them. Now their estate was completely sealed from the outside world and nothing could be heard about what is going on here.

Li Na pointed at the boxes. "These are supplements for the female body. It is plant-based and it tastes good. Those are vitamins and minerals that are good for you. And those pots are morning and evening creams for you. Mom chose them exactly for the two of you."

She opened another box and looked at Wang Weiming. "This is same, only made for men that are very active. These supplements replenish the energy that was lost, those minerals and vitamins are made as well for you to strengthen your body and the creams here are especially sent by my father. These are for burns, these for cuts, these for dry skin..."

Looking at the bunch of things in the huge box they sighed. Again those people sending them presents. Li Na saw Wang Weizhe and smiled. "Father said that when even a scholar like you has a strong body, so you probably train as well. He said you should drink supplements as well."

He chuckled and patted her head. "I know."

There were few more boxes left and they curiously looked at them.

Li Na pointed at the boxes and explained. "Two boxes contain materials I need for backing cookies. One box is with seasonings. I want to cook at least one meal a day for you. I hope you won't look down on my poor skills and will try it.''

She pitifully looked at Wang Weiming that came forward. "Don't worry, I have a strong stomach. I'll eat it all."

Looking at his soft eyes she wanted to really pinch his face but ended up softly patting his flabbergasted face. "I am not too bad either. It's not inedible. "

He chuckled and took her hand. "Edible, inedible... I don't care. If you make it, I'll eat it."

His family members rolled their eyes. Hey, could you stop being so sweet? It's too cringe-worthy. They could feel the warmth coming out of his eyes and gave up. This fool is lost completely. Like a soft clay in Li Na's hands, he started reshaping at her will.

She opened the boxes and took out a few seasonings, a strange round thing, a small round stick and a few more things and gave them to the nearby servants. "Let's go to the kitchen. Today I will make just a simple dish, as we don't have much time."

The Wang's were astonished. While the old General was looking at the armour with interest, Wang Weiming followed Li Na to the kitchen.

But she got annoyed right away. Literally all the cooks and servants were frozen in fear as he walked around the kitchen. "Big brother!"

He blinked at her in confusion. "What?"

She rubbed her head as she tried not to get angry. With a calm voice as she could bear, she hissed at him. "Get out!"

He could literally see that she was annoyed but had no idea why. "What is wrong? How can I help you?"

Of course, she could see that he was oblivious of his aura so she sighed. "Sorry, but I don't want you to watch me when I cook. I might get nervous and burn myself. Get out. Please. Your servants will help me with most of the things. And I want to surprise you all."

Wang Weiming saw her pouting and he pointed at the outside. "I'll be there, waiting for you."

Li Na could see stubbornness on his face and gave up. "Fine. But don't come in, no matter what."

He nodded, took a book out his clothes, sat in the shade of the house and started reading it. Looking at his calm demeanour everyone turned their eyes towards the little girl in wonder.

But looking at the strict faces of the mistress's main maids, they became respectful.

Li Na smiled at them and started ordering them around. "I need meat, seasonal vegetables and pots. Today I'll need your help with the meals."

As she saw the few vegetables she sighed. Next time she will send fruit and vegetable seeds. Maybe then they will have more options. With a sigh, she started ordering them around.

One side had to cut and slice vegetables, the other side had to prepare pans and pots. Suddenly she realized there will be a tiny problem. They had no ovens. No matter how she looked at it, no oven.

"No cookies today. I need a special baking place only for them. Sigh." She muttered and Wang Weiming could hear her.

Even tho he was sitting far away from her, his hearing was specifically sensitive.

Special baking place? No wonder... she really used magic for them. Right?
