Chapter 98 - 98 Ride On Your Coattails



Zhao Chuchu only told him about fried potato pancakes but did not explain the steps, yet he somehow figured it out himself. First, he steamed the potatoes, removed the skins, and mashed them. Then, he coated them in flour, egg wash, and other ingredients. Lastly, he fried all of them after kneading them into balls.

Sitting before the stove, Zhao Chuchu watched Xie Heng fry all the potato pancakes until they became golden, causing her hungry stomach to growl.

Peering at Zhao Chuchu’s gluttonous look, Xie Heng raised the corner of his mouth. Then, he took two freshly fried potato pancakes, served them in a bowl, and handed them to her. “Try them. Tell me how the taste is.”

“Mmm. It smells good.” Zhao Chuchu got a whiff of the pancakes’ aroma. “Although it is missing some ingredients, the taste is almost close to the authentic one.”

!!

After speaking, she stuffed her face with the steaming hot food without minding the temperature.

“Da Lang, it’s delicious. You have to try it,” Zhao Chuchu gabbled. Xie Heng’s cooking was so good that she did not feel like leaving.

What do humans live for?

To eat!

Her past life had been too exhausting. So, she decided to lead a superannuated neet’s life this time.

In any case, she would not need to worry about feeding herself even without putting effort into work. At most, she only had to earn a little more money before traveling around the world.

After all, no one would mind having a lot of money.

Seeing Zhao Chuchu gobbling up the food, Xie Heng slowly became relaxed.

“Why are you gorging yourself on them? No one’s going to snatch them away from you.”

“Because they’re so good. Da Lang, why are your cooking skills so excellent? How did you turn a normal potato pancake into something that tastes like heaven?”

“It’s not difficult at all. Once my eyes have ‘recovered,’ I’ll take care of our daily meals.”

“You’re a learned man. Aren’t you afraid of being made fun of? You know, they say men shouldn’t help in the kitchen.”

“Let them say whatever they want. It’s not like I’m doing something awful. So I can do what I want. Even though we are not related in any way, you’ve been helping us out a lot. Cooking is nothing but something small I can do to pay for what you’ve done,” Xie Heng muttered.

Xie Heng was not pedantic at all.

Which man from Lengshui Village could handle the kitchen?

Even those who were henpecked or loved their wives would not do household chores.

“Hehe. That’s good.” Zhao Chuchu nodded and exclaimed, “I will be the breadwinner, and you should continue to look handsome and charming.”

No, wait a minute. That would mean he didn’t need to do anything.

She only said those things unconsciously—words without any ulterior meaning.

After rotating the potato pancakes, Xie Heng paused for a while before smiling faintly.

“You should study hard, earn the position of the number one scholar, and become a high-ranking official. Then let’s continue to be on good terms in the future. You’ll be a big shot who I can ride on your coattails, and I will be your sister. What do you say?”

Meh.

Xie Heng nearly let the word out of his mouth, but he immediately zipped his lips.

“I’ll do my best,” he uttered.

Zhao Chuchu did not pay much attention to his words but grabbed two more fried potato pancakes.

[Huehuehue.]

Digging in the food late at night sneakily without Junjun was unexpectedly exciting!

Just as Zhao Chuchu was happily enjoying her late-night supper, she heard footsteps slowly closing in from afar.

“Junjun has awakened,” Zhao Chuchu reminded.

“No problem. Just let him know that I can see already.” Xie Heng did not try to hide this time.

His main reason was that he could not let Zhao Chuchu prepare food anymore.

He did not want to continue eating steamed buns.

Xie Jun arrived at the kitchen in no time. Staring at his brother and sister-in-law, who were tucking into supper before him, he was aggrieved. “Sister-in-law, why did you eat nice food without me? The aroma even woke me up from my slumber.”

“Your brother said you were asleep and we shouldn’t bother you. That’s why I didn’t wake you up,” Zhao Chuchu explained frantically. “Come and join us now that you’re awake. These fried potato pancakes are superb.”

Bewilderment was written all over Xie Jun’s face as he gaped at Xie Heng.
