"What's the big deal? We're all partners!"
After reading Lucia and Li Chaoge's conversation, Fengdi realized that there seemed to be some misunderstanding between them, which had now been cleared up. She immediately waved her hand, not caring at all.
When everyone is eating together, those who can cook should cook together. If there are too many people who can cook, they can take turns cooking. This is a very normal thing.
"I won't just eat and drink for free; I'll help you out when the time comes."
Seeing this, Mona gave a soft hum, she wasn't one to take advantage of others, was she?
Poverty should not diminish one's ambition; she, Astolorgis Mona Megistus, will not take advantage of others!
"Yes, if everyone helps, I'll help too."
Genyuan smiled and agreed, it seemed that her idea of showing off her cooking skills would have to be put on hold for a while.
It seems the Master also likes this girl, Lucia. There's no benefit for her to come here and take away the head chef's position, since she doesn't want to be in charge of cooking all the time.
"Ahem, everyone, let's eat something. Mona, aren't you hungry? Hurry up and eat something."
Seeing that everyone was getting to know each other better, Li Chaoge quickly stopped talking about this topic that was not easy to continue.
"Is this a chicken foot? What are the others?"
Mona rolled her eyes at Li Chaoge, who had brought up the topic of her hunger again, and then focused her gaze on the snacks on the table.
"Yes, this is garlic chicken feet, as well as cucumber salad and shredded potato salad. Lucia and I made some simple and refreshing cold dishes. Please try them and give us your feedback."
Seele smiled and nodded. These things weren't done after she knew Mona and the others were coming; she and Lucia had been preparing them before they arrived.
Because cooking takes a long time, they are considering having a barbecue together that evening.
When having a barbecue, everyone can participate. They only need to do some preliminary work and don't need to keep an eye on things all the time.
However, eating only barbecue was too greasy, so they thought about making some refreshing and appetizing cold dishes. They searched for information online and started experimenting in the kitchen.
Just then, Bagpipe and the others appeared, and Seele took out all the cold dishes she was still researching.
Of course, while she said it was for research purposes, she had also tasted the dishes, and they were quite delicious.
"It's delicious! You guys did a great job!"
While Mona was still asking reservedly, Bagpipe had already picked up his chopsticks without hesitation and ate a bite of cold potato salad and a piece of cold cucumber salad. After finishing, he immediately gave Seele a thumbs up.
"Yes, it's really good."
Genji also picked up his chopsticks, took a bite, nodded, and smiled gently.
"Really? Thank you for the compliments, but Lucia did all of this. I just lent a hand."
Seele smiled sweetly and pulled Lucia, who was standing next to her, over.
Lucia's knife skills are truly amazing. The potato shreds she cuts look like they were machine-made, with almost uniform thickness and size. They break apart with a gentle bite, making them crisp and appetizing.
"I just did a simple imitation; there's nothing technically demanding about it."
Seeing that Seele seemed about to praise her again, Lucia said somewhat embarrassedly.
She felt she hadn't done anything particularly impressive; she had simply cut the ingredients, heated the pan according to the instructions, added the vegetables and seasonings, and then turned off the heat.
If she is clearly told what to add and how many grams, she will never make a mistake.
But if it's just a small amount of such talk, she'll be very troubled.
What exactly constitutes "appropriate amount"? Everyone's tastes are different, making it a difficult question.
"Is it really that delicious?"
Seeing that both Bagpipe and Root Style liked what Lucia made, and that Lucia had just been unsure of her own cooking skills, Mona picked up her chopsticks with some skepticism.
After she tasted the uniformly thick, crisp, and delicious hot and sour shredded potatoes, Mona nodded approvingly at Lucia.
She's actually quite skilled; this cold dish is only slightly inferior to her delicious salad.
Hmm, but chicken feet are tastier than vegetables, at least they have meat in them.
After taking a few bites of hot and sour shredded potatoes, Mona reached for the garlic chicken feet with her chopsticks, but after picking them up a couple of times, she felt that they tasted particularly bad.
It's not that the taste is bad, it's that the preparation is bad.
It's very troublesome to hold the chicken foot on chopsticks without it falling, while still being able to bite off that tiny bit of meat.
But I can't use my hands; it's too embarrassing to use my hands.
"Xier, bring me a few disposable gloves. I remember they're in the kitchen."
Seeing this, Li Chaoge looked at Xi'er.
He didn't prepare disposable gloves to eat the chicken feet, but they had bought disposable gloves to use when they bought barbecue before.
While most people, like Heinrich Exusiai, don't care about their image and eat with their hands, getting oily all over their mouths and hands, laughing and joking as they wash themselves off before going to bed, Ayaka Kamisato and the others still try to maintain a certain image.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot."
Seele hurriedly went to get disposable gloves. They had prepared these, but they hadn't used them when they were tasting the dishes in the kitchen, and she had completely forgotten about them.
"Mona, use disposable gloves. This tastes better when eaten with your hands."
When Xier brought over the disposable gloves, Li Chaoge distributed them to everyone and smiled at Mona.
"Cough, that's right, Chaoge, you're right, chicken feet taste better when eaten with your hands!"
Seeing Li Chaoge's gentle smile, Mona's pretty face flushed slightly. She quickly took the disposable gloves from Li Chaoge's hand, lowered her head and started gnawing on a chicken foot. The large witch's hat covered her red face.
That womanizer is still so meticulous. I wonder how many girls he's fooled with this trick. This time, I absolutely can't let him fool me so easily again!
Chapter 80. The hardest thing to bear is the kindness of a beautiful woman.
Everyone chatted and laughed in the living room, and before long it was evening, time to prepare dinner.
"Captain, shall we start cooking now?"
Xi'er asked Li Chaoge in a low voice.
"Is it time for dinner? Hmm... then I'll trouble Seele and Lucia to prepare dinner."
Li Chaoge checked the time and realized how fast time had flown by; it was already past five o'clock.
Actually, the things we talked about weren't anything particularly interesting; we just got to know each other a little. But they were all very interesting people. Mona's slightly arrogant, poor astrologer persona was something we could tease her about for a long time, and Bagpipe's carefree, unpretentious, and straightforward country girl personality also brought a lot of fun.
Not to mention the innocent and naive Lucia, the emotionless and sharp-tongued Bronya, and the gentle and considerate Seele, all adding to the conversation and making the topic even more interesting.
They could chat for half an hour just about trivial topics like whether they preferred meat or vegetables and which was more nutritious. Not to mention the more exciting topics, such as which girls liked Li Chaoge, and which girls in their area liked Li Chaoge.
When it comes to these sensitive topics involving emotions, even Li Chaoge himself is at a loss.
After all, he couldn't very well say who he preferred; it was a real dilemma with multiple choices.
However, it was mainly Bagpipe, Mona, Shire, and Lucia who were chatting. Bronya spoke very little, and the Root type hardly spoke at all. Apart from occasionally saying a word like a broken record, she usually just smiled silently and listened quietly, but she seemed to enjoy the chattering atmosphere.
"Doctor, I want to help too! Do you have any potatoes in the kitchen? My braised pork with potatoes is really delicious!"
Upon hearing that Seele and Li Chaoge were going to cook, Fengdi, eager to show off her culinary skills, excitedly raised her hand.
After chatting for so long, her desire to cook had been ignited!
My mother once said that you have to win a husband's heart by winning his stomach.
Although she felt it wasn't necessary to hold on so tightly, and that the Doctor looked really cool working hard for his other companions, she still really wanted to cook something delicious for him.
According to Kal'tsit and the others, the Doctor, who knows nothing about the past they mentioned and only has some vague outlines, has suffered from amnesia again. Perhaps her lovingly prepared meal can help the Doctor regain his memory!
"Of course we have some, but we might not have enough pork. How about braised beef?"
Li Chaoge smiled and nodded. Potatoes are inexpensive, delicious, and easy to store, so Xier and the others would naturally prepare more if they noticed this.
When he was saving money, he often bought potatoes to eat. He could steam them or stir-fry them. They were cheap, delicious, and filling.
But now that I have money, I can be more extravagant with the oil I use, and I won't waste any when I fry my own fries or potato chips. Because there are so many people and so much food to cook, the oil used for frying is used up very quickly, and I don't have to worry about it going bad if it sits for too long.
"Beef? That would be even better!"
Upon hearing that beef could be used in cooking, Bagpipe nodded vigorously and said happily.
Compared to braised pork, braised beef is definitely better. Beef is more fragrant and chewier than pork!
Agricultural production in Arknights is not yet advanced, so pork and beef freedom is not yet possible. Although she can enjoy good treatment after leaving the countryside, as a sergeant, it is impossible for her to eat beef every day; she can only eat it occasionally.
"Then I'll look forward to seeing your bagpipe skills."
Li Chaoge nodded happily, then looked at Mona, who hadn't said a word, and asked, "Mona, are you going to show off your cooking skills?"
Life is nothing more than eating, drinking, and having fun. Apart from the fact that his interactions with them were so intense that he could summon energy to summon his other wives, he was probably happiest when they were eating.
Eating his second wife's cooking while chatting and joking with them—this must be the most comfortable life.
"I don't know how to make these staple foods."
Mona rolled her eyes at Li Chaoge and pouted, feeling that Li Chaoge was deliberately flirting with her.
She just said that none of what she makes is suitable as a main dish, but she could make a mushroom soup.
"Salad is a good breakfast option in the morning. Mona, could you make me breakfast tomorrow? Hmm, how about a sandwich? A sandwich with salad and some soy milk sounds pretty good."
Seeing that Mona wasn't taking the initiative to cook, Li Chaoge thought for a moment and decided to try a different approach.
Having a light breakfast after a morning run is a good idea. Although he finds hot steamed buns, fried dough sticks, and soy milk delicious and easy on the stomach, and rice noodle rolls and soup noodles are better options, it's perfectly fine to change things up.
Most importantly, being able to eat breakfast made by Mona's wife is much better than simply buying breakfast.
If it were a second wife who couldn't cook, then so be it; he couldn't let them cook and harm themselves and others. But since they could cook, he naturally wanted to taste their cooking skills himself.
"Hmph, we'll talk about it tomorrow morning."
Looking at Li Chaoge's smug smile, Mona gave a soft hum, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
This guy takes advantage of any kindness shown to him. If it were just the two of them and no one else around, she doesn't know how arrogant and unruly he would be.
Upon seeing Mona's appearance, Seele Lucia and Bagpipe Root laughed.
Through these two hours of brief interaction, they all learned from Mona's reactions that she was a salad master. Salads are fine as a side dish or a snack after a meal, but definitely not enough as a main course; they're okay as a light breakfast option.
Since they don't need to worry about losing weight, they naturally wouldn't care about the weight loss benefits of salads.
Mona herself didn't eat this to lose weight; it was simply because she had invested all her money in research, which meant she couldn't even afford her daily living expenses.
"And what about you?"
Seeing that Mona had no intention of putting on a brave face even at the cost of suffering, Li Chaoge regretfully turned his gaze to Genyuan Shi, who was smiling and silent beside him.
Root Style came with Mona and Bagpipe. Bagpipe knows country cooking, Mona knows diet cooking, and he felt that Root Style should also have some cooking skills.
After all, Gengenshiki is clearly a beautiful Japanese woman with a Yamato Nadeshiko (ideal Japanese woman) temperament, so it's normal for her to have some cooking skills. As for the possibility of her culinary disasters... Gengenshiki doesn't have a character setting where she's bad at cooking, so that's unlikely.
"I won't join in the fun. There's enough space in the kitchen for three people to work at the same time. I'll cook something for everyone later."
Genyuan smiled and shook her head, saying that there was no rush to cook. She figured that when it was time to eat, many people would come down from upstairs, and she would have to stay here and watch the fun.
I wonder what kind of conflicts will arise when Lilith is with so many girls who like the Master, and how the Master will resolve them.
The Command Seals on the Master's body didn't seem to have been used much; they appeared to have been used on the Master himself. However, the Master carried Lilith's aura.
Did Lilith become so brave after coming to this world? She reached home base in no time, doing something that countless female Heroic Spirits couldn't do.
Mashu protected her senior for so long, and now someone else has taken advantage of her. I wonder how heartbroken she will be when she comes back.
Thinking of this, Root suddenly began to look forward to the Chaldea Master's little girlfriends. When they arrived and found that the Commander had already been overwhelmed by the other girls, a chaotic scene was bound to break out.
Needless to say, there's Jeanne Alter, Ereshkigal, and Charlotte. But if Minamoto no Yorimitsu, Kiyohime, and Yuuki were to come, I wonder if the Master's small frame could handle it.
A small-scale battleground is no fun; we need to make it big.
Li Chaoge was unaware that the seemingly dignified, yet secretly eccentric, man was the root of his own demise, and he felt a chill run down his spine. Somewhat puzzled, he checked the temperature on his phone.
The temperature wasn't very high, around 21 degrees Celsius.
"Is the weather getting cold now?"
Shaking his head, Li Chaoge put away his phone.
What happened to global warming? It's only the end of October and it's already getting cold.
It seems we need to start preparing for winter by buying clothes in advance. When we have time, we should ask Qingge to go shopping for clothes with us. In addition to buying clothes for the girls around him, we also need to buy clothes for his dad and Qingge's mom.
They work in another city, are financially secure, and have some savings. He's not in a hurry to send them money, but he still needs to think more about how to get through this year.
He would have brought one or two girlfriends home if he had just one, but now he has too many girlfriends and wives, and he doesn't know what to do with them.
Even three wives and four concubines wouldn't be as outrageous as him. If he really brought them all back, it would probably scare his parents, making them think he'd been tricked or something.
