Chapter 206: Little Ling Xi
Shi An’an watched this scene, sighed, and said, “I think Grandpa Ling is right. Everyone can try learning to cook themselves.”
“……”
For a moment, everyone was stunned.
Gao Jin Xiao looked at everyone; she strongly supported this decision.
“I agree too. Actually, I’ve wanted to say this for a long time.”
“Everyone has been here for over a year. From the day we arrived, Old Ling has handled three meals a day for everyone.
Cooking for one or two people is fine, but making meals for so many people every day—not to mention if Old Ling can handle it, even I feel exhausted just watching.”
Gao Jin Xiao looked at the others and sighed while shaking her head.
With so many people, ever since they arrived here and got used to their previous pampered lives, after all this time, not one person noticed Old Ling’s daily hard work and daily efforts.
Not one person offered to help.
Sigh…
Grandmother Lin nodded repeatedly after hearing this; she strongly supported this decision.
Song Yun and the others didn’t know the situation here; they had been living at the sanatorium before, only occasionally coming here for a stroll when they wanted to relax, then going elsewhere.
Their meals were prepared by a dedicated smart butler.
Seeing someone support him, Old Ling seemed to lift a heavy burden as he looked at everyone and slowly said.
“When I first came here and saw so many high-grade ingredients, it made me want to cook. Actually, I hadn’t cooked in many years!”
Old Ling smiled bitterly. “At first, with Old Li around, we two would cook, chat, and spar on culinary skills. I was happy inside.
After Old Li left, I was left alone to prepare the meals. Of course, because I like these ingredients, I wanted to see how many more delicious dishes they could make…
But gradually, even with Xiao Xiao’s help, I also wanted to rest, so I dragged my grandson here to learn culinary skills. Sigh…”
At this point, Old Ling didn’t want to say more. Having said so much already, it was a bit emotional.
Hearing Old Ling’s words, everyone’s faces showed embarrassment, self-blame, and shame.
They had lived too comfortably, forgetting the efforts someone was making behind the scenes.
“Sorry, Old Ling.”
Everyone looked at Old Ling with great guilt.
Old Ling waved his hand. “It’s not just your fault; I have fault too. Sometimes I just couldn’t bring myself to speak up about this issue.
Actually, at the beginning, if I had just said it clearly, things wouldn’t have come to this point.”
Ling Xi, who was at the back, burst out excitedly. “Does that mean starting tomorrow, I don’t have to cook anymore!”
Grandpa Ling glanced at his grandson. “No!”
Shi An’an looked at everyone and suggested with a smile, “If anyone is interested in learning to cook yourselves, you can learn from Grandpa Ling or Xiao Xiao. If you don’t want to learn, you can order a smart robot on Star Net right now!”
“I want to learn to cook!”
“I… I can’t do it…”
“Hey, how do you know you can’t without trying!”
“Yeah, I’ll learn to cook too. Watching Old Ling cook every day, I feel like I already know how!”
“Tsk, aren’t you being too boastful? You think you can learn just by watching? Then why didn’t you skip mecha design and just become a chef back then!”
“Sigh, wasn’t I just saying…”
……
In the end, everyone decided to learn to cook!
As for whether they could learn it, that was a matter for later. If they really couldn’t learn, they’d buy robots and let the robots cook!
Anyway, everyone here was basically retired, idle all day. They didn’t want to bother with household matters, and while they cared about outside matters, they left them to the young people.
When old, one must accept being old!
When the children grow up, one must let go and let them strive on their own.
Of course, if the children couldn’t manage, they could still back them up.
So now, here, they could do whatever they wanted. Now, they wanted to learn to cook for themselves!
Old Ling was very satisfied with everyone’s enthusiasm and decided to teach everyone to cook starting tomorrow!
Shi An’an watched everyone’s happy expressions and smiled helplessly. She could only tactfully suggest to Grandpa Ling to teach some simple and easy-to-learn dishes, nothing too complex.
Because she knew that every field required talent…
With the matter resolved, everyone happily sat down to enjoy the feast.
“An’an, why aren’t you starting the live stream?” Suddenly, someone asked this.
Shi An’an looked up and saw her mother looking at her expectantly.
“What’s wrong?” Shi An’an was a bit puzzled.
An Yun felt a bit embarrassed. “Well, it’s your father. He heard you were back and wants to see how things are here.”
Hearing this, Shi An’an understood and looked at everyone. “Can I start the live stream?”
“Yes, yes!”
“Go ahead, let my bratty kids see how comfortable I’m living here, hahahaha…”
With everyone’s agreement, Shi An’an started the live stream.
As soon as the live stream started, many old fans flooded in.
Originally, everyone thought An’an started the live stream to announce the results of the experimental base matter.
But as soon as they entered, they saw the long table covered with delicious and abundant food.
Shi An’an even kindly turned on the holographic view.
Smelling the delicious food, everyone who entered forgot the questions they wanted to ask earlier.
Qing Tian Da Meng: An’an, oh An’an, you’re pitting me! I just drank a tube of nutrient solution. If I’d known it was this kind of live stream, I’d have watched the live stream while drinking it later!
Wang Diao Guo Qu: Who’s to say otherwise? An’an streamer, I’m mad—quickly let me taste the food on the table, and I won’t be mad anymore!
Qing Jiao Wo Jue Shi Hao Nan Ren: Hahahaha, which dish do you want to eat? Quickly beg this young master; this young master will help you!
Ling Xi looked at the live stream room and said generously.
However, as soon as he sent the bullet comment, he was attacked by the group.
Jing Jing De Jing Jing: Good man, you don’t even have a girlfriend, yet you set up this good man persona for yourself. Is it fake or what!
Tomorrow: The last person I knew who called himself a good man has been single for fifty years up to now!
Yesterday Like a Dream: Little man, did Grandpa tell you to carve flowers? Can you carve them yet?
Wang Wang: Little man, I still remember you couldn’t even peel a potato properly, and now you’re carving flowers!
Wo De Wei Wei Cao Zui Piao Liang: Tiny little man, quickly let me taste that hard dish in the middle!
Inner Conflict Better Than Conflicting Others: Tiny little man, I also want to taste that dish in the middle!
………
Ling Xi looked at the string of “tiny little…” behind and angrily walked deliberately to that dish in the middle, picked up a piece of meat, then walked in front of the camera.
“This is one of my grandpa’s signature dishes. Do you want to eat it?” Ling Xi dangled that piece of meat in front of the camera.
The live stream room was filled with people saying “I want to eat it.”
