Chapter 71: Injured Weekend (V)

Zero glanced around, but didn't seem to find what he was looking for, so he had to look up.

"Can you help me find something to support me?" Zero looked at him again.

Zhuo blinked his innocent eyes.

A cane?
She really made me cry to death.

Zhuo, with a touched look on his face, pulled out an old-fashioned umbrella from under the sofa and handed it to her.

"Is this okay?"

Ling looked down at the umbrella that he had prepared long ago: "..."

...

...

"It's turning yellow, what's next?"

“Keep stirring.”

"At some point, the chopped onions at the bottom of the pot can no longer hold up."

"Then let's end it."

Utsunomiya Shuo decisively turned off the gas stove and poured the fried yellow onion into the plate...but his technique was too unfamiliar and some of the onion fell onto the stove.

"what's next?"

Utsunomiya Shuo turned around and asked the commander who was sitting in the living room.

“Just throw it in the pot and cook it.”

"Some of them have turned black. Are these okay?"

"The onions whose water has evaporated will undergo the Maillard reaction. The carbonyl-containing compounds and amino-containing compounds inside the onions will react at room temperature or under heating..."

"Stop! I don't understand." Utsunomiya Shuo raised his hand to stop, and poured all the yellow and black onion chopped into the curry pot. "Anyway, just add it in, right? Then what?"

“Stir-fry the beef and chicken, too.”

"Oh... do you want to fry it black too?"

"Need not."

In the kitchen, Utsunomiya Shuo was busy preparing the first curry dish in his life.

In fact, Zhuo’s cooking skills are not so hopeless.

It is also impossible for him to create the dark dishes that appear in the comics.

If you really want to cook, as long as you follow the recipe, you can still make something that people can eat. Even if the appearance and taste are very ordinary, not really like food, but something similar to food, it is still okay to eat.

Those who keep saying "I can't cook" are just making excuses.

It's similar to when you're on the LOL player selection screen and the person filling in the position righteously says, "I can't play support."

During the summer vacation, Zhuo has deeply realized that his taste has been spoiled by the breeder's feeding of fine grains, so much so that even Sha Qianzi's meals seem bland and tasteless... Alas, this will not work.

He could also choose to eat at a star-rated restaurant, which he could afford given his financial resources, which he had been saving since kindergarten. But this was not a long-term solution after all...

Zhuo can certainly enjoy the life of feeding Ling in the past few years, but in more than two years, when Ling goes to Kassel Academy, Zhuo, who is overly dependent on Ling, will probably make his life a mess.

This is not okay.

So we should take advantage of now, while Zero is still here, to practice our future lifestyle in advance. Let's start with cooking...

Hey~
He should be enjoying a decadent life, but why does he need to work hard now that there is a breeder?
What went wrong.

Forty minutes later,
Utsunomiya Shuo and Zero sat together on the sofa in the living room, their eyes lowered, each looking at the dish in front of them, which was half rice and half... let's call it curry, both silent.

A sparrow landed by the window. It stood on the windowsill and peeked around, trying to find food inside. Its black eyes kept scanning Utsunomiya Shuo and Zero.

It tilted its head and chirped softly.

It seemed as if they were wondering why these two humans both had a Tai Chi diagram in front of them.

Well, the Tai Chi diagram.

Rice is naturally white, and dark brown, or black, curry is naturally the other side.

Zhuo witnessed with his own eyes a bubble suddenly appearing and exploding in the rich curry in front of him, and he suddenly realized something.

"Since dark cuisine exists, then the other world must also exist, right?"

Ling ignored him and raised his spoon, silently scooped up half of the rice mixed with curry and put it into his mouth. "Aren't you afraid of being poisoned?" Zhuo was shocked.

Although it was a dish he made himself, Zhuo himself did not dare to try it. He was already thinking about ordering a delivery. But Ling got there first and swallowed the strange curry without saying anything.

"The excessive black color is because some of the protein has undergone an oxidation reaction with the vegetables, which may be carcinogenic, but it is not toxic. With my bloodline, cancer is almost impossible." Zero responded calmly.

I really admire her for being able to explain so much with logic and evidence after eating this thing. It is simply not in line with the knowledge in Zhuo's brain.

But if that’s the case, it should mean that the taste is still acceptable?

Zhuo picked up the spoon half-believingly, scooped up a mouthful of curry and rice and put it into his mouth.

It doesn't have a killer smell, it's spicy, but the saltiness is a little light.

Conclusion: Edible.

"If the vegetables at the bottom of the pot are overcooked, just skim them out..."

With just one bite, Zero figured out the reason.

"Well, I remember that."

"Taste the soup before serving so you can make adjustments in time."

"Yes, Instructor Romanov."

Zhuo nodded honestly. He knew that he had done a terrible job, but Ling not only tried the taste without any hesitation, but also ate the failed product without any care. Although his expression was cold, his behavior was quite warm.

"I admit that I saw your efforts, but you should be more careful next time. Instead of making a mess, why not let me do it?" Ling took a bite of curry with an expressionless face.

"...It depends on the situation." Zhuo paused and said.

"Hmm?" Hearing this, Ling stopped what he was doing and turned to look at him: "Is there a reason for doing this?"

"…There's no special reason." Zhuo said vaguely.

He didn't want to tell Ling that it was a preparation for their future separation, just like it was inappropriate to say goodbye at a banquet.

That's for later.

Zero looked into his eyes, as if thinking about something.

Then she looked away and said calmly while eating curry: "You can call me over in advance."

"what?"

This time I just didn't control the heat well when cooking, which caused the food to stick to the pan and burn. So it's not a big problem. I will definitely pay attention next time. This kind of thing is not difficult.

So Zhuo was a little confused about Ling's proposal.

It seemed that in Zero's eyes... there was no difference between him and a disabled person with missing limbs.

"It feels like something worse is going to happen," Zero said coldly.

"I can try some simple cooking." Zhuo said.

“Curry is a very simple dish because it only requires frying and then stewing.”

"…I'm sorry, I'm just a loser who relies on convenience stores to survive."

Zhuo was speechless because what Ling said was true.

So he shut his mouth obediently and started eating without saying a word, and Zero immediately turned his head to look at him.
