Chapter 161

Saying that, she entered the kitchen. Looking at the fresh ingredients before her, Ji Qingqing rolled up her sleeves. She placed the chopping board down and picked up a kitchen knife, intending to begin.

Lu Lixing instantly came over and grabbed the kitchen knife from her hands. “What are you doing?”

Ji Qingqing looked at him, surprised. She answered him obviously, “Preparing the vegetables.”

“Put that down, I’ll do it instead.”

“It’s fine, I only have a slight cold and it’s pretty much recovered. The task of cooking in the kitchen isn’t something that a distinguished young master like yourself can manage.”

If Lu Lixing was to really cook personally, who knows when she’ll be able to eat her meal.

Lu Lixing insistently shooed her out of the kitchen. “You should rest, I’ll take over for this meal.”

Ji Qingqing relented. “Fine, then I’ll stay here and watch over you as you cook, Okay?”

“Alright.” Lu Lixing equally agreed.

“If you don’t remove them then how are you supposed to eat?”

Lu Lixing followed what Ji Qingqing taught him and patiently removed the shrimp shells and veins.

Shrimp shells are easily removable, especially for this breed of fresh Greasyback Shrimps. It would all come off with a single peel until it reached the tail portion. However, most of the shrimps that Lu Lixing peeled ended up still having pieces of its shells stuck to it. There were so many unpeeled tails that Ji Qingqing ended up mostly dealing with the aftermath of all the shrimp tails left.

Eventually, all the shrimps shells were removed. For the first time, Lu Lixing experienced the hardships and sufferings regular people went through when preparing their meals.

Ji Qingqing glanced at the other ingredients in the kitchen. Hearing splashing sounds from the bucket on the ground, she walked over to have a look and saw a heavily spotted fish.

“Is this the Napoleon Wrasse?”

“It isn’t. It’s a Grouper.” Lu Lixing replied. “I’ve already asked the staff to find a Napoleon Wrasse, it should arrive later.”

“It’s fine, a steamed Grouper is also equally delicious, there’s no need to trouble them.” Saying that, she went to scoop out the Grouper.
