Chapter 569 Working Together, Battle in the Kitchen!
"Meat! I want to eat meat!"

"The mutton soup was delicious yesterday, I'd like to have some more!"

"Yes, yes, mutton soup is especially warming!"

Upon hearing that they could order food, everyone eagerly began to express their opinions.

After Liang He made a note of everything, she didn't forget to ask the elders about their needs.

"Uncles and aunties, is there anything you'd like to eat?"

Because the Queen said that in private, there was no need to be too formal and address each other as King or Queen.

In Liang He's eyes, they were like Kuang Ye and Xi Rui'er's parents, so she could just call them uncle and aunt, and Liang He didn't refuse.

"Could you prepare some light dishes for dinner?"

Seeing that Liang He was genuinely asking her questions, the Queen didn't stand on ceremony and told her what she needed.

"We've recently learned a bit about health and wellness, so we eat lighter meals in the evenings."

Although they are only in their forties, they had been relying on nutritional supplements to get by, and their bodies were not used to the sudden change to eating gourmet food, so they needed to control their intake.

This discomfort isn't like an upset stomach, but rather a problem like high cholesterol.

"of course can."

Taking everyone's needs into account, Liang He began to think about dinner.

Actually, the quickest way is to steam the vegetables, as you can cook multiple portions in one pot.

With everyone helping out, preparing the ingredients was quick.

So the most time-consuming dish is actually the mutton soup that everyone is longing for.

"I'll start simmering the mutton soup in a bit, and then each of you can take charge of a steamed dish. I'll control the seasoning, okay?"

In addition to steamed dishes, Lianghe also prepares stir-fried dishes because some people prefer the wok hei (the smoky aroma imparted by a wok) that makes them more appetizing.

"no problem!"

"Wow! I've finally become a chef?!"

Why am I suddenly feeling a little excited?

No one complained about being tired or resisted cooking together; everyone was very enthusiastic.

The Queen and the others originally wanted to help, but Liang He temporarily returned the task of taking care of Xirui and Kuang Ye to them.

To prevent the two little rascals from running around while they are cooking and accidentally getting hurt.

"Okay, don't worry, we'll keep an eye on these two kids, they definitely won't cause you any trouble."

The Queen and Ye An, the two mothers, patted their chests and made their promises. Then, they took their husbands and sons and obediently went to the dining room connected to the kitchen. High Priest Yin Feng was also sent to take charge of diplomacy.

Only the young people remained in the kitchen.

"Liang He, you can assign tasks now!"

Once the elders left, the atmosphere in the kitchen became even more lively.

Xu Yi, who had long been dissatisfied with being a vegetable cutter, was the first to raise the issue of reassignment.

"Let me see."

There are 15 people in total, including Liang He, so at least sixteen dishes need to be prepared.

Yin Qi was left behind to help, so apart from Xuan Jiao helping Liang He, the other eight people each prepared a steamed dish.

Add a mutton soup, six stir-fried dishes, and some semi-finished products that Yinshuo bought by chance, and that should be about right.

Liang He was mainly worried that it was getting late and that everyone would be hungry, which would be bad for their health, so he could only ask them to make do for a while.

"Steamed pork ribs with yam, steamed pork rolls with baby bok choy, braised pork meatballs with winter melon, scallops with garlic and vermicelli, steamed beef with tomatoes and mushrooms, fish head with chopped chili, steamed pork belly with dried green beans, assorted preserved meats..."

Considering the needs of the elders, and the fact that heavy oil and spicy food can be too much of a burden on the stomach late at night, Lianghe chose mostly light steamed dishes.

She simply told everyone to pick the dishes they were interested in, search for recipes on the StarNet, and after showing them to her and making sure they were okay, they could start preparing.

"Jiaojiao, I'll prepare the mutton soup first. Please prepare the ingredients for the stir-fries." Lianghe began to list the dishes to Xuanjiao and told him the ingredients needed.

"Kung Pao Chicken, Cola Chicken Wings, Tomato and Egg, Golden Broth Beef, Hot and Sour Shredded Potatoes..."

Because she had eaten bluefish yesterday and thought it tasted great, Lianghe planned to make boiled fish for dinner in addition to chopped chili fish head.

The semi-finished products that Yinshuo bought included braised meat platters, salted duck, roast goose, and other roasted meats, which saved Lianghe a lot of trouble.

After Liang He quickly started simmering the mutton soup, she also cooked a large pot of rice.

After she finished her work, seeing that Xuan Jiao had prepared everything in an orderly manner, she first focused on the dishes prepared by the others.

"Let me adjust the flavor."

Since none of them had cooked before, and none of them had the talent like Xuan Jiao, Liang He was put in charge of adding the seasonings.

"okay!"

Holding up his spirits, Holder was in charge of the relatively simple but physically demanding winter melon lion's head dish.

Because he doesn't need to worry about how much seasoning to add, he just needs to honestly chop the meat.

"Put the vegetables in the steamer during the last 15 to 20 minutes of steaming."

Considering that the steaming time required for each dish is different, with the longest steaming time being one hour, Liang He casually mentioned this.

Then she was pulled away by Xu Yi, who had a mournful expression on his face.

"Liang He... How come I finally managed to cook a dish, but in the end I'm still stuck as a vegetable chopper?"

Xu Yi's turn was for steamed assorted preserved meats.

He initially thought he would have a chance to show off his skills when he heard about the mixed steamed dishes, but to his surprise, the preserved meats were already prepared, and he ended up just chopping vegetables.

"What? Didn't you blanch it?"

Yin Suo, standing to the side, pointed with a grin at the blanching pot that Xu Yi had just finished using, making Xu Yi roll his eyes in exasperation.

"Go away...get out of here! Go back to your hot pot!"

Yinsuo was in charge of steaming scallops with garlic and vermicelli.

To be honest, his dishes are actually quite simple: just wash the scallops, blanch the vermicelli, prepare the minced garlic, and wait for Liang He to season them.

"Hehehe~ I've got it all done~ You're so annoyed~"

The mischievous Yinshuo deliberately pulled Lianghe away from him with a grin, asking her to teach him how to make seasonings.

This time he can only learn, but next time he might be able to do it on his own—then he'll have to show off!
"All right."

After Liang He skillfully prepared the minced garlic, she instructed Xu Yi and Yin Suo on the steaming time.

Unexpectedly, the two started attacking each other again, using the length of time as an excuse. Liang He was so annoyed by what she heard that she quickly ran to check on Cedril and Landon.

"Landon, after soaking the dried green beans, squeeze out the water, then stir-fry them in a pan before putting them in the bowl with the braised pork..."

Landon chose a dish with dried green beans and braised pork belly, which involved a relatively complicated process, and Liang He patiently explained it to him.

Fortunately, Landon had a good memory and a high comprehension ability, and he quickly got the hang of it.

"Ahe, do you think I cut the beef the right way?"

Seeing that Landon had stolen Liang He's attention, Cedril, unwilling to give up, began to seek attention.

After Liang He saw that there were no problems with Landon, she slowly walked towards Cedril, picked up the beef, and explained it to him.

"Beef is different from pork. Beef needs to be cut against the grain so that it won't be tough to chew. After you cut it, marinate it for a while, and it will be more tender."

After explaining, Liang He glanced at the others. Yin Ling and Holder were in charge of steamed pork ribs with yam and steamed meat rolls with baby bok choy. Apart from the need to be careful when handling the yam, neither dish was too difficult.

To Liang He's surprise, Huo An would choose chopped chili fish head.

"Brother Huo, do you like this dish?"

Happy National Day, everyone!
