Chapter 686 Han Shangyan 74
Chu Hua first washed the rice and put it into the rice cooker to cook. Then she started to prepare the ingredients.
She first picked up a fish and prepared to scrape its scales. However, the scales were slippery and could not be scraped off. She tried several times but failed every time.
"Let me do it." Han Shangyan couldn't bear it anymore, put down his phone, walked over and took the fish from her hand.
He skillfully scraped off the scales of the fish, then gutted it, took out the internal organs and cleaned it.
Chu Hua was stunned as she watched from the side: "Han Shangyan, you... you actually know how to prepare fish?"
Han Shangyan raised his eyebrows, with a hint of pride in his tone: "Why? Did you underestimate me?"
“No, no!” Chu Hua quickly shook her head: “I just didn’t expect you to be so powerful!”
Han Shangyan smiled and continued to process other ingredients. His movements were skillful and neat, like a professional chef.
Looking at Han Shangyan's busy figure, Chu Hua suddenly felt her heartbeat quicken. She found that she seemed to like this man more and more.
After Han Shangyan finished processing the fish, he started to wash the shrimps and peel the crabs. His movements were so smooth that Chu Hua was dazzled.
She couldn't help but sigh: "Han Shangyan, you are so amazing! I feel like a waste in front of you."
Han Shangyan smiled and pinched her nose: "Silly, what are you talking about? Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses, and you also have many things that I can't compare to."
"For example?" Chu Hua blinked her big eyes and asked curiously.
Han Shangyan leaned close to her ear and whispered, "For example, you are cuter than me."
Chu Hua's face instantly turned red, and she glared at him coquettishly: "You are just a smooth talker!"
Han Shangyan laughed out loud, feeling happy. He liked to see her shy look, like a kitten with its fur standing on end, very cute.
"Get out! I can do it myself!" Chu Hua pushed Han Shangyan out of the kitchen as if she was chasing away a fly.
Han Shangyan raised his eyebrows, put his hands in his pockets, and looked calm and composed: "You really don't want my help? Are you sure you can do it?"
There was a hint of teasing in his tone, but his eyes were glued to Chu Huan and couldn't be moved away.
"Of course! Cooking is not a difficult thing for me!" Chu Hua patted her chest confidently, looking very confident. In fact, she was a little nervous. Apart from cooking instant noodles and frying eggs, she had never cooked any complicated dishes.
Han Shangyan glanced at her with a half-smile, then turned around and leaned against the door frame, looking like he was watching a good show: "Okay, then I'll wait outside and wait for my little cook to make me a full banquet."
"Don't even think about the banquet. It's good enough that we can eat it!" Chu Hua replied in a nonchalant manner, and then began to rummage through the drawers looking for pots, bowls, and utensils.
Han Shangyan couldn't help laughing when he saw her clumsy appearance. This girl is so cute.
In the kitchen, Chu Hua was busy and frantic. She first poured the washed shrimp into the pot, then turned on the gas stove and prepared to start frying. As a result, the fire was too high and the oil in the pot splashed instantly.
"Ah!" Chu Hua screamed in fright and quickly stepped back.
Han Shangyan heard the noise and rushed into the kitchen, pulling her behind him: "Be careful!"
The boiling oil splashed onto Han Shangyan's arm, and a small blister appeared instantly.
“Han Shangyan!” Chu Hua looked at the blisters on his arm distressedly, her eyes suddenly reddened: “It’s all my fault for being careless…”
Han Shangyan smiled nonchalantly: "It's okay, just a minor injury."
He gently rubbed her hair: "Silly, don't cry."
Chu Hua sniffed and tried hard to hold back her tears: "It's all your fault for insisting on coming in!"
"Okay, okay, blame me, blame me." Han Shangyan looked at her lovingly: "Then how are you going to compensate me?"
Chu Hua thought about it, stood on tiptoe, and kissed him lightly on the face: "Is this okay?"
Han Shangyan was stunned for a moment, then a wicked smile appeared on his lips: "How can this be enough? At least..."
Before he finished speaking, Chu Hua covered his mouth: "Don't talk nonsense!"
Han Shangyan smiled and pulled her hand down, holding it in his palm: "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. Go wait outside, I'll cook."
"No!" Chu Hua shook her head firmly: "I agreed to cook, how can I let you come?"
"But..." Han Shangyan wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Chu Hua.
"No buts! Get out!" Chu Huan pushed him to the kitchen door and closed it.
Han Shangyan smiled helplessly and had to wait in the living room.
In the kitchen, Chu Hua took a deep breath and regained her spirits. She carefully controlled the heat and slowly stir-fried the shrimps in the pot.
In the kitchen, Chu Hua held her breath and concentrated, as if she was performing a delicate operation. She held the pot handle tightly with one hand and clumsily manipulated the spatula with the other hand, gently turning the shrimp in the pot.
The flames licked the bottom of the pot, making a slight "hissing" sound, as if cheering her on. The shrimps gradually turned from transparent to pink, emitting waves of tempting fragrance.
Chu Hua raised her eyebrows proudly, thinking that she was a talented chef. She picked up a shrimp with her chopsticks, blew on it, and carefully put it into her mouth.
"Pooh!"
She quickly spat it out; the shrimp was too salty and fishy to swallow.
"What the hell!" Chu Hua threw her chopsticks on the table in frustration: "Why are these shrimps so unpalatable!"
Han Shangyan's suppressed laughter came from outside the door: "Do you need help? My little cook?"
Chu Hua angrily opened the kitchen door and glared at him: "No need! Just wait outside and eat the ready-made food!"
Han Shangyan walked in with a smile and took the spatula from her: "Let me do it."
He skillfully took the shrimps out of the pot, heated up the oil in another pot, added ginger and garlic to stir-fry, then poured in the shrimps and stir-fried, and finally added the seasonings, all in one go.
The whole process went smoothly, leaving Chu Hua stunned.
"Okay, try it." Han Shangyan placed a plate of fragrant braised prawns in front of her.
Chu Hua picked up a shrimp with some doubt and put it into her mouth.
"Wow! So delicious!" Her eyes lit up and she couldn't help but pick up another one: "Han Shangyan, you are so awesome!"
Han Shangyan looked at her satisfied expression, and a smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of his mouth: "As long as you like it."
He reached out and ruffled her hair, his eyes so gentle that they could drown someone.
Chu Hua suddenly felt her cheeks getting hot. She lowered her head and whispered, "I can't cook. Will you dislike me?"
Han Shangyan looked at the girl in front of him with blushing cheeks, and his heart skipped a beat. This girl, when she gets shy, it's really deadly. He resisted the urge to hug her in his arms, and pretended to be nonchalant and said, "Dislike? I wish you didn't know anything, so that I can have the chance to cook for you every day."
