Xiaomi's Recipe

Although Xi Baichen didn't seem to care, he still prepared all the kitchen utensils and ingredients the next day, just waiting for a little devil to come and teach.

In the morning, he took two dumplings and ate three cups of soybean milk, five deep-fried dough sticks and two baskets of soup dumplings. Then, like walking a dog, he led them around the street for a while and bought a game console for each of them. After returning home, let them play on their own.

Xi Baichen looked at the time. It was past 11 o'clock. He walked into the kitchen, scanned around, and casually called out, "Xiaomi?"

The kitchen was silent, and the little devil was obviously not here. So he walked his long legs again, searching room by room.

Didn't you say to order the meal? Where is the ghost shadow?

Xi Baichen felt that his trust had been betrayed and was very unhappy. He planned to order takeout at 12 o'clock, specifically spicy food!

He sat in front of the computer and started writing love hate stories with incredible speed.

"Old Bai, are you okay? Why are you writing this kind of newspaper article again?" A familiar voice suddenly sounded in the room.

Xi Baichen suddenly broke free from his crazy state of writing and asked in a low voice, "Where are you?"

"In your palm."

Xi Baichen lowered his head and saw that his right hand was resting on the table, while his left hand was holding a mouse.

"Mouse?" He is left-handed, so the hand using the mouse is also left-handed.

"Yes~~" The Mi Li brand mouse flickered a few times, announcing her existence.

Gently stroking the mouse, Xi Baichen's brow involuntarily relaxed, and his mood gradually became clearer.

"Old Bai, have you prepared everything I asked you to prepare?" Actually, Mi Li doesn't have much hope, after all, he is very resistant to cooking, and suddenly asking him to do something he doesn't want to do is a bit difficult for others.

Xi Baichen remained silent and walked into the kitchen with a mouse in hand.

The kitchen was cleaned spotlessly, with kitchen utensils and dishes neatly arranged. The refrigerator was stocked with all kinds of ingredients, including meat and vegetables.

"Wow, Old Bai, this is the rhythm of preparing to embark on the path of a culinary god." Mi Li exclaimed in amazement.

Xi Baichen: "..." Long winded!

"It's getting late, let's get started!" Mi Li is eager to try, "Old Bai, can you do anything?"

Xi Baichen: "Noodles."

"The following explanation shows that there are no problems with cooking seasonings, and it is not considered a zero foundation." Mi Li is quite pleased.

Xi Baichen: "... instant noodles."

Mi Li: "..." The task is heavy and the road is long.

Xi Baichen stood upright in the kitchen, exuding a sense of aloofness and helplessness, which was out of place with the lively atmosphere of the kitchen.

Mi Li comforted, "It's okay, let's start with the simplest."

First, let Xi Baichen wash the rice and cook it. This operation is basically not difficult.

The dishes she booked today mainly include the simplified version of sauce flavored pork ribs, Ant Tree, hand torn eggplant, and tomato egg soup.

These dishes do not require any knife skills or complicated procedures. As long as the steps are correct and the seasoning ratio is moderate, the taste will not be too bad.

"Alright, Old Bai, let's put on the apron first."

Xi Baichen picked up the checkered apron, hesitated for a few seconds, and finally put it on.

"Next, we will prepare the ingredients." Mi Li commanded Xi Baichen and operated step by step.

Washing pork ribs, cutting scallions and garlic, soaking vermicelli, and adjusting seasonings... Although Xi Baichen's movements were unfamiliar, he remained focused and steady in his actions. Under the guidance of the "mouse", he surprisingly did them with precision.

"Fry the pork ribs until golden brown, add soy sauce and Douban sauce, bring to a boil over high heat, then turn to medium heat. With a few clicks of the mouse, explain, "Now the pot should be boiling a rich sauce. Do you smell it and it smells particularly fragrant?"

Xi Baichen doesn't need to deliberately smell it, the aroma of pork ribs mixed with bean paste and garlic is eagerly entering the nose, filling the entire kitchen.

"Mash the garlic, add soy sauce and less vinegar... No, no, no, more, less. Okay, then add chicken essence and sesame oil, mix well, perfect. Drizzle over the eggplant."

With a few sizzling sounds, the juice seeps into the eggplant from the inside out, with a distinct color that makes the mouth water.

Xi Baichen set aside the sauce flavored pork ribs and hand torn eggplants, and caught a glimpse of two steamed buns, one on the left and one on the right, leaning against the kitchen door. He looked at him with stars in his eyes, his admiration on his face without reservation.

Xi Baichen turned his back and a hint of discomfort flashed in his eyes.

Mi Li secretly chuckled and continued to guide.

After more than an hour, the four dishes and one soup were freshly baked, and the rice was soft and delicate.

For the first time officially cooking, Xi Baichen's performance was commendable, and his hands-on ability exceeded Mi Li's expectations.

"Old Bai, thank you for your hard work. Now it's time to test the results." Mi Li saw two buns sitting upright, staring eagerly at the dishes on the table. Although they really wanted to eat, they didn't immediately take action.

"Let's have dinner," Xi Baichen picked up his chopsticks first, maintaining the dignity of a patriarch, but his gaze was silently observing the two buns.

"Mmm, it's delicious!" Xi Nuoqi praised while biting the pork ribs.

"Delicious..." Xi Keran chewed the eggplant slowly, her eyes and eyebrows satisfied.

Upon seeing this, Xi Baichen breathed a sigh of relief and began to move his chopsticks. He tasted each one, strictly speaking, the taste was only average, but very appetizing, completely different from the feeling of takeout.

"Old Bai, you are really excellent!" Mi Li praised generously, "Seeing the little kids eating so happily, I really want to taste it too!"

Xi Baichen furrowed his brows, feeling an inexplicable regret in his heart. If possible, he also hoped that she could taste his own craftsmanship. The first time cooking was of great significance, and as a result, two little devils were cheaper.

At this point, Xi Baichen's gaze towards the two Tuanzi became unfriendly.

The ignorant and unaware little group continued to enjoy their meal, not because the food was really delicious, but because their uncle personally cooked it, adding 99 points of charm to the dish without interruption.

"Uncle, why do you always carry that mouse with you?" Said Xi Nuoqi, who had been fed well, gradually relaxing his guard and curiously asking.

"Without this mouse, you can only eat takeout," Xi Baichen glanced at him.

The two little groups exclaimed in surprise, "Is this a magical mouse? Can it help Uncle create a lot of food?"

Xi Baichen: "Hehe." His mouse is omnipotent. What do you little devils know?

Four dishes and one soup were eaten cleanly by uncle and nephew, and their expressions of satisfaction were identical.

Xi Baichen tidied up the dishes, while the two balls covered their stomachs and lazily leaned against the sofa.

"Old Bai, let Xiao Tuanzi come over and help you wash the dishes." Xi Baichen is very happy with this proposal!

He hooked his finger at the small group and said, "Come here."

"What's the matter? Is there any dessert after dinner?" The two little balls ran over, only to see Xi Baichen bring two chairs and place them side by side by the sink.

Xiaotuanzi looked at him in confusion.

"Do you think my food is for free? Come up and wash the dishes," said Xi Baichen, holding his chest with both hands and looking down from above

Xi Nuoqi looked at him incredulously and said, "We are still children, how can you make us work?"

"Why can't children work anymore?" Xi Baichen felt that the little devils nowadays are too spoiled and must be trained and honed.

Mi Li spoke out in a timely manner: "Tell them that if it's washed, there will be fruits to eat and drinks to drink."

Xi Baichen was not very pleased, but he still repeated her words.

Upon hearing this, the two small groups were indeed much more motivated. They climbed onto chairs one after another and began to wash dishes under the supervision of Xi Baichen, stumbling and stuttering.

"Be careful not to let them break dishes and injure themselves."

"Excuse me," Xi Baichen muttered to himself, but his attention was quite focused.

The first time the two groups washed the dishes, they were quite energetic. It took them more than ten minutes and they got wet all over, but they still managed to wash the dishes quietly.

Xi Baichen fulfilled his promise and prepared fruits and squeezed juice for them.

Two small groups were overjoyed to receive their labor remuneration.

After settling them in, Xi Baichen thought he could finally rest, but he heard Mi Li say, "Old Bai, go wash the dishes again."

Xi Baichen: "!!!"

"How could they possibly wash it clean the first time?"

Xi Baichen: "..." Since they haven't been washed clean, why would he reward them?! He, who works hard cooking, doesn't receive any rewards!

With resentment in his heart, Xi Baichen washed the dishes again.

"Old Bai, you've worked hard, you're amazing!" Mi Li's praise instantly soothed Bai's small emotions.

"Hmph." He cleaned himself up and grabbed the mouse back to the study.

"The perfume article I conceived last time has been written in half, you can read it if you are interested." Xi Baichen opened the document, but did not wait for Mi Li to respond.

Have you left again... Xi Baichen lowered his eyes, his eyes darkened.

He changed another document and started writing his dog blood newspaper article in a flurry.

Until evening, he received a package sent by Mi Li, a handwritten recipe, and hundreds of photos of delicious food.

Looking at every stroke on the recipe, Xi Baichen can imagine the little devil's expertise and dedication in food.

The corners of his mouth involuntarily curved, and Xi Baichen held the recipe, flipping through it page by page. Suddenly, an impulse arose in his heart to write a food novel.

As far as he knows, there are not many food novels nowadays. With Xiaomi's cooking skills, she is capable of establishing a school, but she openly shares them with himself. So, before writing this food article, he must seek her opinion.
