Chapter 489 Missed the Time

After all the preliminary work was prepared, Yuan Zhuoyue stayed obediently beside Morax, waiting for the chef to cook a delicious meal for her.

Of course, Yuan Zhuoyue was very tactful and moved a little further away to avoid being too much of an obstacle and affecting Morax's performance.

Although Yuan Zhuoyue still doesn't know what dishes Morax is going to cook, judging from the ingredients he chose, they are still relatively common foods, without any rare and exotic delicacies.

Yuan Zhuoyue was very satisfied with this and did not feel that she was being neglected. After all, she was too picky about food.

But for unfamiliar and less familiar ingredients, there is also a gradual process of acceptance.

I just saw Morax standing in front of him, watching him stir-frying the food with the spatula in his hand.

Yuan Zhuoyue still felt that the scene before his eyes was a little too magical.

Even though she had seen with her own eyes how vegetables were washed and cut before, she still felt a sense of incongruity when faced with this scene.

Although there is a saying in the ancient books of sages that "governing a big country is like cooking a small fish", it is just a metaphor.

Yuan Zhuoyue watched the hot steam rising from the pot and the smoke spreading in the kitchen, and the messy thoughts in his mind kept spreading.

It seemed that the preliminary preparations were sufficient, and it didn't take too long for the dishes to be cooked all at once.

Yuan Zhuoyue took a quick look and saw that they were all dishes that looked relatively light. The Jueyun pepper that Morax had picked out earlier was just a more eye-catching embellishment on these dishes.

The dish that was bright red, looked spicy, and seemed to be very appetizing and delicious did not appear.

Although these dishes look light, they don’t mean they taste bland.

While cooking, Yuan Zhuoyue confirmed that Morax was using various seasonings to remove the fishy smell and add flavor.

It has never been so extreme that only some salt is added to enhance the flavor.

Seeing that Morax had already started to pack up, Yuan Zhuoyue glanced at the earthenware pot on the stove that was still simmering over a low fire.

He raised his hand and pointed in that direction. Then he asked, "...Isn't there another dish over there?"

Morax looked in the direction of her finger and replied, "It's not hot enough yet... We need to wait about another half an hour."

Yuan Zhuoyue looked at the steam rising from the earthenware pot and the gurgling sound coming from the pot, and asked after a moment's hesitation, "Is this pickled pork with preserved vegetables?"

Morax nodded slightly: "Good guess."

"Then I've tasted your specialty." Yuan Zhuoyue clapped his hands and said with emotion, then changed the subject and asked, "I remember you bought pickled meat and pork belly, but I don't remember you buying bamboo shoots at the market? Although I can't remember the approximate production process, I vaguely remember that bamboo shoots are needed to make this dish."

"These are some bamboo shoots I picked earlier." Morax answered Yuan Zhuoyue's questions in a gentle voice: "You are right. Pickled pork with preserved vegetables does require bamboo shoots, and spring bamboo shoots are the best...but now it's out of season."
