Primordial Cultivator-Chapter 46: Cooking with Elder Jing (2)

Chapter 46: Cooking with Elder Jing (2)

“So what condiment would go well with the meat?” Elder Jing asked as she held multiple containers in a confused manner.

She was trying to figure out what condiment to use to season the meat.

Yang Wei chuckled softly as he slowly explained each of the condiments and their uses.

“Some condiments are used early on to season the meat such as salt and pepper to make the meat have flavor. However, some condiments are meant to be added later.” Yang Wei said as he proceeded to grab one of the containers.

Afterward, he poured them into the meat and Elder Jing watched in full concentration as she wanted to learn the process.

However, it was like there was a clog in her brain as she couldn’t seem to get it into her head.

“Cooking is so difficult.” Elder Jing pouted and complained to Yang Wei.

Elder Jing’s behavior was no different than a little girl being spoiled as she doesn’t feel like learning or even trying to understand it.

Although she is focusing, she was just watching without understanding the process and why Yang Wei would punch the meat suddenly.

“Why are you beating the meat? You already killed the Lightning Wolf but you’re still being ruthless.” Elder Jing said, making Yang Wei completely speechless.

“When was the last time you ever cooked a dish, Elder Jing?” Yang Wei decided to ask her this question.

He was helpless and confused at why Elder Jing would not understand something basic when he was beating the meat.

He wasn’t punching the meat because he had a grudge against the Lightning Wolf but was trying to make the meat more tender and juicy.

The meat was tough because of the tendons and if you don’t soften it, the meat will become inedible or have a disgusting texture when you put it in your mouth.

Meanwhile, Elder Jing’s face turned bright red as she tried to avoid answering Yang Wei.

Yang Wei continued to stare at her and wait for her reply. It was his turn to be someone knowledgeable for the first time so he wasn’t going to let Elder Jing off the hook.

“Jing Feng, be honest with me.” Yang Wei said with authority in his tone.

Elder Jing flinched when she heard Yang Wei calling her full name. ‘T-This Yang Wei is simply taking advantage of the situation.’

Elder Jing turned to face Yang Wei with a pitiful expression as she stuttered, “I-It’s been a long time since I ever cooked. The last time I remember being in the kitchen was when I was about 6 years old.”

Yang Wei laughed when he heard the reply and Elder Jing was bashful the entire time as she punched Yang Wei’s chest lightly.

“Stop bullying me already,” Elder Jing said coyly.

Yang Wei nodded his head and said, “It’s okay Jing Feng, I don’t mind doing all the cooking for us in the future.”

“S-Stupid,” Elder Jing replied in a low tone when she saw Yang Wei returning his attention back on the meat.

Yang Wei remained ignorant about the fact that he just improved his relationship with Elder Jing a bit more when he tried to teach her some cooking.

Even though he was a little bit dense, Yang Wei was grateful already to be able to cook for someone and enjoyed a meal with Elder Jing after 7 long years.

Being alone and desolate, it was gruesome on Yang Wei to always go home and face 4 walls without anyone to greet him.

Always working to the point where he almost fainted, he still had to cook when he got home and eat alone.

Those days were difficult and tough but at the same time, they honed his mentality.

Elder Jing knew the difficult life Yang Wei endured in his youth when many people his age were being treasured by their families and showered with resources.

‘Yang Wei is truly a hard-working boy. No wonder why he managed to charm me if I’m not prepared.’ Elder Jing sighed inwardly as she watched Yang Wei begin cooking the meat with a smile hanging on his face.

She was mesmerized by his cooking skills that she didn’t even realize she admitted that she was attracted to Yang Wei.

Time slowly passed by in this quiet atmosphere where only the two of them are here.

Despite being only the two of them here, Yang Wei and Elder Jing did not find it boring as they loved each other’s company.

“Hehe, it’s done at last.” Yang Wei shouted in excitement as he grabbed the meat and placed it on a plate.

The plate was also in the spatial ring and left Elder Jing speechless when he managed to sneak so many things inside the spatial ring without her notice.

“Just where did you find the time to get them?” Elder Jing could no longer hold her curiosity as she asked Yang Wei slowly.

Yang Wei raised his eyebrow in confusion and wondered if Elder Jing is really ignorant besides alchemy.

“They were all located in your courtyard, Jing Feng.” Yang Wei replied as he handed the plate to Elder Jing.

Elder Jing held the plate unconsciously as she was surprised. ‘When did my courtyard contain so many condiments and even utensils?’

Seeing the confused and dazed Elder Jing, Yang Wei starts laughing as he holds his stomach to try and stop.𝘧𝑟𝘦𝒆w𝚎𝙗nov𝘦𝗹.𝐜o𝓶

Elder Jing became mad when Yang Wei continued to make fun of her for not knowing these little things.

“I-I’m still your senior so show some respect,” Elder Jing pouted in response when she was too embarrassed to not know the item in her courtyard.

“You’re my senior indeed. But at the same time, I am also pursuing you currently.” Yang Wei replied swiftly.

Elder Jing knew she lost the advantage in this conversation already so she kept quiet.

Yang Wei could only sigh in defeat when Elder Jing continued to ignore the previous incident where he confessed.

‘I will not give up easily and I shall continue to improve myself to win your heart.’ Yang Wei declared inwardly as he cut another piece of meat into his plate.
