Chapter 557 Xiao Tao’s Culinary Skills
Mengyu went out for a round and came back with an eleven- or twelve-year-old girl who had delicate features and was very endearing, along with two little dogs, one black and one white.
Pointing at Xiao Tao, Mengyu introduced her to Shen Qi and the others: “This is Xiao Tao, the little chef I’ve hired. She will be cooking for us for the next few months.”
The classmates looked at the girl who was only about eleven or twelve years old, exchanging glances: They were sure they had heard correctly, this little girl was the chef Mengyu had hired?
“Can she even cook edible food?” Wu Jiangshan asked.
Da Bai’s voice rang in Xiao Tao’s head: “Haha, Xiao Tao, you are being underestimated!”
After introducing the “chef”, Mengyu introduced the palm-sized Da Hei and Da Bai: “These are our courtyard’s guards, named Da Hei and Da Bai. From now on, they will take care of our yard’s security.”
Shen Qi and the others were baffled again: Were they seeing things correctly, these two little puppies were actually the guards of their large courtyard?
Xiao Hua rushed over and hugged Da Bai: “Wow, these two puppies are so cute.”
Laughter erupted in Da Bai’s heart: “Hahaha, you’ve been hugged by a woman.”
As a male, Da Bai howled loudly, startling Xiao Hua. She let go, and Da Bai jumped down, hiding behind Mengyu and barking loudly at Xiao Hua.
Mengyu smiled bitterly: “Xiao Hua, it’s not a pet dog. It doesn’t like to be touched by others.”
Before she finished speaking, the black dog jumped up and landed on Mengyu’s left shoulder.
Seeing this, Da Bai also quickly jumped up, landing on Mengyu’s right shoulder.
The two little guys stood on Mengyu’s shoulders and barked twice at Xiao Hua in a threatening manner, indicating they only liked their owner and didn’t appreciate her touch.
Mengyu had just mentioned they disliked being touched, and now the two little fellows had run onto her shoulders, which left her speechless: “Uh—”
Shuiyu pointed at Mengyu and laughed loudly: “Hahaha, hahaha, hahahaha!”
Shen Qi and Jiangsheng, however, were staring at the black and white puppies on Mengyu’s shoulders, their eyes shining.
They had noticed that the two puppies had jumped up onto Mengyu’s shoulder all by themselves!
Mengyu was about 1.67 meters tall, and the puppies were only the size of a palm, yet they managed to accurately jump up to her shoulders from the ground, showing impressive precision and leaping ability.
“Alright, Xiao Tao is going to prepare dinner, everyone else better hurry up and do the review questions I gave you.”
Everyone scattered immediately, returning to their rooms to focus on their tasks.
However, Mengyu followed Xiao Tao to the kitchen: “Xiao Tao, are you sure you don’t need my help?”
Xiao Tao took out various meats, eggs, and vegetables from her Space Ring. Then she pushed the master out of the kitchen: “No need, no need, if I can’t even handle this much, how can I stay by your side?”
Indeed, Xiao Tao wanted to come out, but Mengyu refused, fearing it might raise unnecessary suspicion. So, Xiao Tao thought of this method, to come out and be her chef.
Mengyu had actually never seen Xiao Tao cook, but it was just cooking, wasn’t it? If it didn’t taste good, she could cook herself later. At most, it would only be a waste of some ingredients.
An hour later, Xiao Tao’s voice rang out: “Everyone come to the dining room, dinner is ready.”
Though her voice wasn’t loud, it seemed to be calling at everyone’s ear.
Thus, Shen Qi, Jiangsheng, Shuiyu, Xiao Hua, Wang Huilan and others all hurried out. They couldn’t wait to see what kind of food this little girl had made.
