Chapter 199 The Chef’s Cooking Skills
The moment Cherry came over, William took a step back.
“If you’re sick, go to the hospital for treatment. Don’t go crazy here.”
William said with a look of disgust, “My mother’s surname is Chester, so you and I are not cousins. Don’t try to get close to me. Mrs. Taylor, send her away!”
William couldn’t be bothered to say anything else and dragged Cierra away. he didn’t give Cherry any face at all.
Cherry stamped her feet in anger. Just as she was about to catch up, she was stopped by Mrs. Taylor.
“Ms. Riley, please don’t embarrass me.”
Sarah didn’t like Cherry coming here, but Cherry insisted on coming here on the day of Cierra’s return. Cherry forced herself to join in the fun. After all, she was a member of the Chester family. So as an outsider, Mrs. Taylor couldn’t say anything about it.
Yet Mrs. Taylor didn’t expect such a thing to happen.
It was her own fault. She wanted to keep an eye on the kitchen so she didn’t have time to look after Will. But she didn’t expect Will to disappear in such a short time under the surveillance of Cherry. She, didn’t know what to say at this point.
Cherry glared at her.
“Mrs. Taylor is just a ser vant. How can she be so tough on her?” wondered Cherry.
Mrs. Taylor was speechless after being glared at.
She was still worried. She didn’t know Madam would blame her when they found Will later. Anyway, she was very worried and didn’t want to see Cherry at all.
Even though Cherry glared at her, Mrs. Taylor refused to make way for her. She just pointed at the gate and gestured for Cherry to leave.
Cherry had no choice but to leave dejectedly.
On the other side, Williamand pulled Cierra straight to the kitchen.
the Barton family’s old house had a large courtyard. The kitchen and dining room were separately built behind the garden, a few steps away from the bedrooms.
“William, this is the kitchen, right? Can someone hide here?”
Cierra tried to imagine the scene where William hid himself here when he was a child. Not only
could he hide from the elders, but he could also prevent himself from starving. He was quite smart.
“What are you thinking about?”
Seeing her smirk, William knew that she was not thinking about anything good. He grabbed her collar and dragged her to the kitchen.
“What are you doing, William?”
Cierra was forced to walk forward. Just as she was about to argue about how to escape, Williamn had already let go of her. She could only glare at him resentfully.
William remained a cool face, and said calmly, “Go and show off your cooking skills which you’ve learned from a master. The more delicious it is, the better!”
Cierra raised her eyebrows and thought through William’s thoughts.
But she was also suspicious about this, “Will… Will this work?”
Children nowadays were not short of food, and their tastes were very picky. Moreover, she had no experience in cooking for children, so the taste might not be attractive for them.
It was as if William could tell what she was thinking.
“Jus trust me. As long as it smells good, don’t worry about the taste. It’s not for that little brat to
eat.”
“Oh, okay.”
Cierra didn’t ask any more questions. Se took the apron and went to wash her hands.
If she wanted to lure out the little brat who was hiding, with the smell of food, it must be
overbearing.
There was no one in the kitchen at the moment. Except for a steamer that was still boiling, the other dishes were all well-prepared. Probably it had to wait to be served until everyone was seated. Otherwise, they would be cold now.
Cierra swept her gaze over the kitchen counter, planning to make two dishes.
Hot and Sour Chicken Gizzard needed sliced ginger, chopped scallions and peppers, pickles, and chili pepper. The cutting technique was first-class and smooth, and the sour smell of the stir-fried sauce had already made people drool.
The chicken gizzard was placed at the edge of the preparation area. Under the table, there was a small charcoal stove that was boiling chicken soup. It was a little chicken prepared, so there was not much chicken gizzard on the plate.
Cierra switched to a kitchen knife and began to stir-fry the ingredients with a big fire.
William didn’t get close to the encounter. Instead, he leaned against the kitchen door and watched.
Suddenly, he restrained his casualness and became a little serious.
Although he had tasted a lot of dishes made by Cierra, it was rare for him to see her cooking in the
kitchen.
“How could such a thin and small arm lift up an iron pot weighing a few pounds?
“Girls bored and raised in the Barton family should have been well taken care of by families. She is not supposed to suffer so much.
“Even a woman like Cherry could bully her…
“Why G*d treated Cierra so unfairly?” wondered William.
William didn’t statre and thought Cierra for long. The sour and sp*cy smell from the small pot quickly stopped the violent thoughts in his mind, and he couldn’t help swallowing.
When he realized what he had done, an unnatural expression flashed across his face. However, after a moment, he regained his composure and strode towards Cierra, who had poured the dish on a plate. The mixture of green and red pepper and chicken gizzard carried traces of heat, which gave him a good appetite simply by smelling.
Without hesitation, William washed one pair of chopsticks and slipped to the side with the dish.
Cierra ignored him. She was about to make the second dish, Prawns with Ketchup.
The Hot and Sour Chicken Gizzard was too sp*cy for a child to eat. But if William’s method really worked, it would be unreasonable not to give Will food. She had to make some preparations.
This Prawns with Kethup was sweet, and it was just right for the child.
One of them was busy cooking in the kitchen, while the other was busy eating. All the people
outside were looking for Will with bitter faces.
the Barton family attached great importance to the family rules, and the time for meals was fixed. At noon, except for fruits, there were no snacks to be served, and children were treated equally.
At this time, when they smelled the fragrance coming from the kitchen, they all felt hungry at the
same time and couldn’t help thinking about the sour and sp*cy taste in their minds.
All of a sudden, they were not in good mood to look for Will. All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
Even Mrs. Chester, who usually had no good appetite, stopped in her tracks, feeling a little empty in
her stomach.
After all, ever since she fell ill, she had no appetite. How could she have the mood to eat when she was too worried? Only when she was hungry to the extreme would she take a few bites. Otherwise, she would not have lost so much weight.
The smell today…
Sarah frowned and wondered, “By right, Mrs. Taylor is supposed to looking for Will at this time. Why did she go to the kitchen? Could it be that she has found him?”
She didn’t bring her phone with her, so she could only turn back from the garden and walk quickly to the kitchen.
At this time, Cierra had already finished cooking the second dish. The fresh smell of shrimp and the sweetness of tomato sauce mixed together. After it was out of the pot, she sprinkled a handful of spring onions, and the color looked very festive.
After the dish was served, the chef couldn’t help but secretly pick up one shrimp tail from the plate. When she was about to peel the shrimp shell, a m*ffled child’s voice came from under the table.
“Are you eating in secret?”
Cierra’s movements came to a halt. She tilted her head and looked down, meeting a pair of dark,
clear, and watery eyes.
The child crawled out from under the table and looked at her stubbornly, “Your hands are dirty!”
Seeing that the child, who had only reached her waist, raised his head and spoke to her in a lecturing tone, Cierra couldn’t help but smile.
“If a chef eats in secret, it means a good harvest in the coming autumn. As for me using my
hands…”
Cierra rolled her eyes and handed the shrimp to the child’s mouth.
“Do you want to have a try?”
