Cannon Fodder Becomes A God Of Cooking Chapter 3: Part 1

CFBAGOC Chapter 3: Part 1

 

    For this third dish, Qin Xin planned to make a soup by dicing the tofu and shiitake mushrooms, and then beat the eggs in a bowl and stir evenly.

        Qin Xin first poured some oil into the pot and then stir-fried the diced mushrooms. After smelling the aroma, Qin Xin immediately poured the prepared bowl of cold water into the pot. The sizzling sound instantly rang out and Mei gulped, her stomach was getting hungry.

        After the pot was boiling, Qin Xin added the tofu and poured the egg mixture into the pot, stirring it quickly. Strangely enough, the tofu was something that would break at the slightest touch, but it didn't break at all when Qin Xin stirred it.

        Mei Congqing looked at Qin Xin, not realising that the latter was not only a good cook, but also a master.

        After adding the eggs, the colour of the soup instantly looked good. At this time, Qin Xin sprinkles a layer of salt around the pot and finally adds a handful of spring onions, then serves the soup.

  "Is this done?" Mei Congqing asked, wouldn't it be common to add a lot of condiments when making soup? Qin Xin only seemed to put salt in it.

        Qin Xin nodded, "Savoury vegetable and egg soup, Sister Mei will try it later."

        "Okay." Mei Congqing was really eager to try it.

       Just as Hu Xingguo returned from finishing his purchase, he saw that the food was already on the table and said happily, "The food looks really good today."

        "It's all Xiao Xin's work." Mei Congqing's name for Qin Xin had changed from Xiao Qin to Xiao Xin.

        "Does Xiaoxin know how to cook?" Hu Xingguo's name for Qin Xin had changed to Xiao Xin along with his wife.

        "Yes." Originally, Mei also thought that such a beautiful girl would not be able to cook, but it turned out that Qin Xin not only knew how to cook, but was also skilled. When Qin Xin was cooking just now, Mei Congqing was just marvelling at Qin Xin's excellent cooking skills, but when she thought about it, she thought of something else.  

          At this age, there are too few dolls who can cook, and even fewer who can cook like this. Mei Congqing subconsciously thinks that Qin Xin’s family conditions are not good, so she was in charge early. Thinking about it this way, Mei Congqing thought about Qin Xin and felt a little distressed in her heart.

     Hu Xingguo didn't think much of it, and when he saw the beautiful colours of the dishes on the table, he picked up a bowl and ate them. His first chopsticks pick the small portion of meat, and after one bite, Hu Xingguo's eyes lit up, "This, this is so delicious!"

        Mei Congqing retracted her mood and said proudly, "Of course it is." She looked even happier than when she was praising her own cooking.

     Qin Xin smiled, Big Sister Mei hadn't even eaten it yet, and she was already saying that she had made it delicious. This is how much she trusts her.

   Mei tried a chopstick of lettuce first. She felt appetite just now, but when she took a bite, her eyes were full of shock. She had been prepared for Qin Xin's cooking to be delicious, but she eat it, so it was beyond expectation!

       The lettuce was crisp and tasty, and when she bit into it, it had a freshness she had never found before!

        Mei Congqing took another spoonful of the soup, the tofu was so tender that it went down in her mouth. The egg accompanying it, adding an extra  flavour to the soup. As she swallowed the soup, the aroma of the mushrooms seemed to linger on her lips.

        Mei Congqing had no time to sigh, but found that Hu Xingguo had already eaten half of the stir-fried pork in front of him before she had time to sigh. She didn't say a word and started eating with her head down.

     Qin Xin saw Mei Congqing and Hu Xingguo proved that their food was delicious by their actions, and her heart warmed gradually.

   Two dishes and a soup were quickly consumed by the three of them. Qin Xin was ready to put away the bowls, but was stopped by Mei Congqing, and Hu Xingguo had the good sense to clean up the dishes, "I've just eaten too much, I need to take a break from eating."       

    There were only three dishes in total, and even if they were all eaten, it would not be too much to eat. Qin Xin knew that Mei's family was concerned about her.

        As Hu Xingguo washed the dishes in the kitchen, Mei Congqing looked at Qin Xin with concern in her eyes, "What kind of  job are you planning to find?" The two of them are from T city, so they have more information than Qin Xin.

        Qin Xin said, "I'm planning to go out and sell some snacks myself."

        If she hadn't eaten the meal Qin Xin cooked, Mei would have stopped when she heard Qin's idea, but after she ate it, Mei was silent.

     When Hu Xingguo came out after washing the dishes, he heard this and said, "I think it's fine. Xiaoxin is a good cook."

   t's good, but it's hard work after all, and she's such a young girl. Seeing the determined look in Qin Xin's eyes, Mei Congqing put all her words of advice into her stomach and asked, "What kind of snacks do you plan to make?"

        "Let's make chinese crepes." This was something Qin Xin had already thought about, so she needed a cooker to make the cakes, plus a trolley, and if she had a pedal tricycle, even better.

      Hu Xingguo said, "If you need to buy goods, just ask me."

      "Thank you, Brother Hu." Qin Xin said, "I really want to trouble Brother Hu to help me buy some charcoal fire."

      "That's no problem." Hu Xingguo agreed.  

      "We need noodles for the cereal cakes, so let him get them for you too." Mei Congqing said.  

      Hu Xingguo made an OK gesture.

     This was the first time Qin Xin had ever felt such support for something she had done, and she was grateful.

T/N: If I can't find an accurate image source, I will look for an image of food that fits the ingredients and description. So, if you look up the image's source, you'll notice that the name of the dish aren't the same as in the novel. But not all of them. Some of them are correct.
