The Miracle Doctor's Two-Faced Toddler Chapter 57 - Cooking Personally

Chapter 57: Cooking Personally

Although they had returned from the Magistrate Prefecture, Uncle Wan did not stay idle. The reason why Miss Yu was imprisoned by Yan Xie was because someone had accused her of theft. He went to look at the so-called “stolen goods” and was dumbfounded.

He brought the “stolen goods” back to the Young Master Manor and got someone to move them to Yan Jiuchao’s room.

“Young Master,” Uncle Wan greeted.

Yan Jiuchao was standing in front of the window, staring fixedly at the courtyard. It was unknown what he was thinking. When he heard Uncle Wan’s voice, he did not turn around and only replied indifferently, “What is it?”

“It’s over there.” Uncle Wan pointed to the eight-seater table not far away.

The servant placed the large box behind the eight-seater table and tactfully left.

Uncle Wan opened the box and looked at Yan Jiuchao’s back. “Young Master, come and take a look.”

Yan Jiuchao turned around and his gaze landed on a box of dazzling fabric.

These materials were part of the congratulatory gifts that Shangguan Yan had sent over. She asked Yan Jiuchao to bring them to Yan Ruyu for her banquet. After the congratulatory gifts were sent to the Young Master Manor, she directly asked Uncle Wan to accept them. Yan Jiuchao did not take a look at them and gave them to a countryside child he met in the Bai Manor.

“I’m afraid you don’t know.” Uncle Wan told Yan Jiuchao about the ins and outs of the cloth. “…It’s all made from the palace’s material. No wonder he wanted to report it to the authorities.” However, it was strange. Didn’t Young Master reward these things? Why was it in Miss Yu’s hands?

Yan Jiuchao instantly understood and said in a low voice, “She’s the sister that child mentioned…”

On the other hand, after Yu Wan followed the nanny into the room, a maidservant immediately fetched hot water.

Yu Wan took off the clothes of the three little fellows and wiped them clean. She then changed into a dry cotton s.h.i.+rt. The little fellows were pushed around, but none of them woke up.

The nanny was dumbfounded to see the little masters behaving so obediently in the arms of a village girl. But on second thought, the little masters had been making a fuss all night. They should be sleepy now. They must have… slept too deeply.

The nanny took a deep look at Yu Wan. This girl was a little poor, but her temperament was extremely good. She was quiet and tranquil, making one’s restless heart slowly calm down. The nanny usually didn’t care much about her looks. After all, the most important thing is inner beauty, not appearance. However, at this moment, the nanny couldn’t help but say that this girl was too outstanding. She wasn’t as beautiful as the Princess Consort, but a gentle, quiet, and comfortable appearance.

No wonder she could catch the Young Master’s eye, the nanny thought.

After stuffing the three little fellows into the warm blanket, Yu Wan was sweating profusely. Rich people were indeed different. They have a heater that was warmer than a few large pots of firewood.

Yu Wan tugged at her collar and lowered her head to look for a handkerchief in her purse. Suddenly, a white silk handkerchief was handed over. Holding the handkerchief was a slender hand.

Yu Wan paused and did not look up, but she guessed the other party’s ident.i.ty. She took the handkerchief and said, “Thank you, Young Master Yan.”

The nanny had already left with the maidservant the moment Yan Jiuchao entered the room. Other than the three sleeping little fellows, there were only the two of them in the room.

“What are you thanking me for?” Yan Jiuchao stood by the bed and looked at the hair on her head.

Yu Wan pinched her handkerchief and said, “Thank you for your handkerchief, Young Master Yan. And thank you for saving me today.”

Yan Jiuchao said indifferently, “You also saved my sons.”

“These are two different things,” Yu Wan said.

Yan Jiuchao thought of something and nodded in agreement. “That’s true.”

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll get going.”

“I just saved you, and you’re leaving just like that?”

Yu Wan finally raised her head and looked at Yan Jiuchao in confusion.

Yan Jiuchao asked indifferently, “Can you cook?”

Yu Wan was stunned. “Yes, but…”

“The chef in the manor has taken leave,” a certain young master said without changing his expression.

The chef, who had just reached the door: “…”

Yu Wan had never stayed in the Young Master Manor, but since he said so, then the chef should really be on leave. If not, why would he want to eat the dishes made by a little village girl instead of using a good chef? How was that possible?

“If Young Master Yan doesn’t mind, I’ll go to the kitchen to take a look.”

He had helped her a lot today, so it was only right for her to repay him with a meal.

The two of them went to the kitchen.

The chef was “on leave” and the kitchen was empty. However, there were a lot of ingredients. Anything could be prepared for dinner.

Yu Wan thought about it and decided to ask him, “What would Young Master Yan like to eat?”

Yan Jiuchao said, “Bun, meatb.a.l.l.s, scallion pancakes.”

Yu Wan was surprised. The young master of a rich family actually liked to eat these things? She thought he would order some complicated dishes.

These were all dishes that Yu Wan was “good in”. Yu Wan immediately found all the ingredients. She first mixed the white flour and chopped the meat. She also chopped some pork and mutton. After the dough was fermented, the meat filling had already mixed with the egg white and other supplementary ingredients.

She wrapped the bun with mutton filling and placed it in the steamer. She boiled another pot of vegetable oil and fried a large bowl of crispy meatb.a.l.l.s. In the end, she scooped up the oil in the pot, leaving only a thin layer of oil to fry the scallion pancake.

It was unknown if it was because the ingredients were too good, but this time, the meatb.a.l.l.s and scallion pancake emitted an unprecedented fragrance.

The entire courtyard was tempted by this fragrance.

Yan Jiuchao was famished. Uncle Wan kept drooling.

Considering that the chef was gone and the little fellows, Uncle Wan, and the others had nothing to eat, Yu Wan decided to make everyone’s food.

She worked for a full two hours until sunset.

Coincidentally, Yu Feng came looking for her.

“My brother is here. I’ll leave first.” Yu Wan bade farewell to Yan Jiuchao.

Uncle Wan personally sent her to the door and watched her and Yu Feng get into the carriage. Then, he turned around and strode back to the courtyard.

However, to his surprise, when he rushed back to the courtyard, the meatb.a.l.l.s and scallion pancakes that he had been craving for the entire afternoon had already entered Yan Jiuchao’s stomach.

That-that was for five people…

Young Master, you usually can’t even swallow half a bowl of rice. How did you eat so many meatb.a.l.l.s and scallion pancakes?!

You, you… did you throw it away?!

Yan Jiuchao rubbed his stomach and burped in satisfaction.

… .

On the other hand, the three little fellows slept until midnight. When they woke up and found that Yu Wan was gone, they immediately jumped up angrily. Fortunately, Yu Wan had left behind some buns.

However, it had been left there for too long, and the bun had turned cold. It was hard, and the three of them could not eat it even after they bite into it for a long time.

The third brother mustered his strength and bit down—

Crack!

The little bad tooth that had hurt him for a month was broken…

The little snow fox, who had left home because of the cold war with Yan Jiuchao, returned valiantly after smelling the fragrance of the meat buns.

It swaggered into the room and showed the three new fellows the right “way” to open the big meat bun. It threw a piece of crispy candy on the ground and stood at the side with a meat bun that was bigger than it.

Suddenly, a small black shadow darted over!

In the blink of an eye, the little snow fox raised the meat bun in its hand and smashed it down domineeringly!

With a thud, the little rat that wanted to steal the food was smashed into a meat patty!
