Chapter 41: The Power of Cooking Unleashed (Part 2)
After chopping the vegetables, he was ready to stir-fry. Qin Tian's figure flashed in the kitchen, back and forth between the eight stoves, flipping and stirring continuously, his movements swift and ghostly. If Xiao Mei saw him, she would definitely think she had seen a ghost. With eight stoves, it was quick work, and before long, the dishes were almost done. Qin Tian turned off the flames one by one, carried the dishes to the table, and waited for Xiao Mei to come down and eat.
Four cold dishes and four hot dishes were neatly arranged on the dinner table. Four hot dishes, three meat and one vegetarian; four cold dishes, three vegetarian and one meat; all eight dishes looked exquisite. Red chili peppers, green vegetables, white and red meat... The colors were rich but not messy, and the combination was appetizing. Not to mention the aroma that teased people's taste buds.
These dishes are exquisite, a kind of medicinal cuisine that focuses on nourishment, and are most suitable for women. Eating more not only won't make you fat, but also has the effect of beauty and skin care, replenishing qi and blood, nourishing yin and tonifying deficiency. Qin Tian saw Xiao Mei recently, her body was weak, and even now her walking posture is still very strange, so he specially prepared this for her to nourish herself well.
Xiao Mei was upstairs thinking about what to wear when she smelled the fragrance, a wave of nose-piercing aroma came over, the smell was so nostalgic that Xiao Mei felt her saliva uncontrollably drooling, and her stomach growled with hunger as if she hadn't eaten for three days. After carefully sniffing again, she found that the fragrance came from downstairs, and she lost interest in changing clothes, rushing down to the floor without even putting on shoes.
She ran downstairs and saw Qin Tian sitting beside the dinner table, waiting for her. The table was filled with eight dishes, and the fragrance came from there. As she got closer, the aroma became even more intense.
Xiao Mei couldn't control herself anymore, and didn't even bother to greet Qin Tian. She ran to the dinner table and grabbed a dish closest to her with her hands, now Xiao Mei was too lazy to use chopsticks, she just wanted to savor this delicious food that emitted an enticing aroma.
It was a dish of green vegetables, a very ordinary stir-fried zucchini, but the zucchini strips were emerald green and oily, each one looking like it had been carved from top-quality jade. The aroma that wafted up to my nose was refreshing and appetizing, making me feel dizzy with desire.
When Xiao Mei put the lettuce silk into her mouth, she felt a clear and continuous fragrance rising from her mouth, as if she had suddenly come to the vast grassland from indoors. Her whole body seemed to relax and open up lazily, and the fatigue on her body was swept away, feeling full of vitality all over her body.
When the aroma wafted over, Xiao Mei was shocked. She swore she had never tasted such delicious dishes before. These dishes seemed to have a magical power that made people involuntarily want to take another bite, as if possessed by magic. Suddenly, everyone's eyes changed and turned green with envy, like hungry wolves eyeing fat meat, and they couldn't help but reach out for seconds.
However, this time Xiao Mei did not succeed, and was intercepted by Qin Tian halfway.
"Honey~~~~ I want it~~~~ Give it to me to eat~~~~ Is that okay~~~~"
Xiao Mei saw being blocked by Qin Tian and immediately became unhappy, pouting at Qin Tian.
Qin Tian was called like this by Xiao Mei for a few times, and he felt his bones had turned soft. He hastily handed over the chopsticks and said.
"It's not that I don't want you to eat, it's just that I'm afraid you'll burn yourself. Here, have a pair of chopsticks."
"Thank you dear husband, you're really great, yeah."
Xiao Mei heard Qin Tian's words and suddenly smiled, rushed to Qin Tian for a flying kiss, then stretched out the chopsticks of sin against the celery silk she had just picked up.
Seeing Xiao Mei having no intention of stopping, seemingly wanting to finish the whole plate of lettuce in one breath, he hastily spoke up.
"Don't just eat that one, there are other dishes too."
Xiao Mei seemed to have just remembered that there was another dish, and she smiled apologetically at Qin Tian, then reached out with her chopsticks towards another dish on the side.
When the dish entered, Xiao Mei obviously stopped for a while, after several seconds, she continued to move on, but the speed was faster, and the dishes were changed from one to two.
Seeing Xiao Mei's adorable expression, Qin Tian couldn't help but smile wryly.
"Wife, if you only eat those two dishes again, I'll take away the others. You know, the remaining dishes are not worse than those two."
"Wooo..."
Xiao Mei heard Qin Tian's words and suddenly became anxious, without even having time to open her mouth. However, she stood up, with one hand blocking the edge of the plate, as if protecting food like a small chicken, while the other hand continued to struggle on, fearing that these dishes would be taken away by Qin Tian. Upon hearing Qin Tian say that the remaining dishes were not inferior to these two, she also tasted some of the other dishes in response.
Xiao Mei pauses for a few seconds after tasting each dish, and her hands move noticeably faster afterwards. The current Xiao Mei has long lost her previous charming and elegant demeanor, now she is frantically waving her chopsticks, what an ugly sight to behold.
It wasn't until they had finished about half of the eight dishes, and some were even empty, that Xiao Mei slowed down her eating speed. It seemed she was almost full too.
At this time, Qin Tiancai finally stretched out his chopsticks. He had just seen Xiao Mei's fierce performance and was scared to death, not daring to stretch out his chopsticks for fear that Xiao Mei would suddenly rush towards him with a mouthful of food. Seeing Xiao Mei like this, Qin Tian felt that the possibility of something happening was very high, so he waited until now when Xiao Mei obviously couldn't eat anymore before starting to use his chopsticks.
Qin Tian finally got to eat the dishes he made himself, and as he ate, he praised himself in his heart: "Indeed a master chef, this level, tsk... not bragging at all."
The fighting strength of the two can be said to be astonishing, those eight dishes were completely wiped out in no time, and the plates didn't even need to be washed, they were licked clean by Xiao Mei, just like new. Even the chopsticks had some small tooth marks on them, obviously Xiao Mei ate too hastily, and the chopsticks couldn't escape being ravaged either.
At this time, Xiao Mei's belly was bulging, just like a six-month pregnant woman. She lazily leaned against the wall for a while, catching her breath. After a great deal of effort, she slowly moved towards the nearby sofa and plopped herself down on the soft cushion, unwilling to get up again.
The two of them sat on the sofa for more than half an hour before they finally felt a bit better.
Qin Tian saw Xiao Mei's appearance and laughed out loud
"Oh no! Wife, how many months pregnant are you? Looking at the extent of your bulging belly, it's at least twins!"
Xiao Mei heard Qin Tian's teasing and thought of her own behavior, her face suddenly turned red. Fortunately, Xiao Mei was not an ordinary person and quickly adjusted her emotions, saying in a soft voice with a hint of reproach:
"It's all your fault, why did you make it so delicious? You've caused me to eat so much at once, and I was planning on losing weight. What am I supposed to do now?"
"Oh, so Meimei wants to lose weight? Alright then, if that's the case, I'll stop doing it from now on. This way, I won't interfere with your weight loss, how about that?" Qin Tian continued to tease.
"No way!"
Xiao Mei immediately became anxious when she heard that Qin Tian didn't plan to make it anymore, this delicious dish can't be eaten just once.
After calming down, she finally noticed Qin Tian's teasing gaze and realized that she had been played by him. With a mix of relief and embarrassment, she couldn't help but unleash her feminine wrath.
