Chapter 11 Down to the Kitchen

  Tian Nu Yu put the shepherd's purse in boiling water, then chopped it up. She cut the dried mushrooms into thick round slices, and broke some of the broccoli into small florets, leaving a small portion to be crushed into juice. Then she used a spoon to scoop out small balls from the winter melon, cutting each ball in half and lightly scoring the surface with a knife to create a lotus flower pattern.

  She looked at the remaining cod and shrimp, thought for a moment, then started cutting the cod into thin strips.

  These ingredients were all prepared by Gu Jie today.

  Tian Nuanyu and Mu Yuxin returned to the mountain villa, saw Gui Shuang was preparing dinner, Mu Yuxin directly went upstairs and drilled into her own room.

  Tian Nuanyu walked into the kitchen, washed her hands and helped Guizhu with the work.

  After getting familiar with Gui Shu, after picking up Mu Yu Xing from school, Tian Nuan Yu would enter the kitchen to help Gui Shu.

  At first, Gui Shu didn't let her do it. When she saw Tian Nuan Yu's neat knife work and quick hands and feet, a smile of approval appeared on Gui Shu's face. Moreover, having someone to accompany herself and chat with to relieve boredom, Gui Shu was naturally delighted, so she no longer politely kept Tian Nuan Yu in the kitchen to help her prepare dinner together.

  On the second day Tian Nuanyu arrived at the mountain villa, she discovered that only Mu Yu Xin was dining in the villa every day. After she came, it could be considered as one more person.

  Gui's sister and Zhong's uncle did not dine in the villa. Every day, Gui's sister prepared meals and placed them on the dining table in the dining hall before leaving the villa to return to her own residence in the backyard to prepare meals for herself and Zhong's uncle.

  During meal times, Mu Ao Yun's figure was basically invisible. He often didn't even eat breakfast before hastily leaving home for the company.

  Today, Tian Nuanyu and Gui Shu were picking vegetables when Gui Shu suddenly received a call from her son.

  Tian Nuanyu had already learned from Gui Sao that her son had become a family man living in the city, and at the end of last year, he had a son who was almost two years old this year. The old couple were overjoyed to have a grandson, and when they were free, Zhong Shu and Gui Sao would often go to the city to visit their son and grandson.

  On the phone, Guizhen's son said that Xiaosui's grandson had a fever and was sent to the hospital. His daughter-in-law happened to be on a business trip outside, and his son couldn't take care of him alone, so he asked the old couple to go over and take care of him together.

  Seeing Guizhen's anxious look, she took the initiative to tell Guizhen that she would cook dinner. After seeing Tian Nuoyu give her a reassuring smile, Guizhen hastily left the villa to find Zhongshu.

  Tian Nuanyu wasn't comforting Gu Sao, she still had some confidence in her culinary skills.

  Although she is not particular about her own food, she can cook and has a good culinary skill.

  She didn't just work in one restaurant, a few years ago she worked in a five-star hotel for nearly two years, starting as a waitress, then moving to the kitchen, washing vegetables, cutting vegetables, and plating dishes, all of which she had done before, and later the head chef voluntarily offered to teach her cooking skills.

  Tian Nuanyu thought she didn't have any special advantages, but the one thing that earned her many people's praise and recognition was her ability to endure hardship and be humble and eager to learn. She thought maybe the head chef had taken a liking to this aspect of hers.

  Someone taught her the skills that were always beneficial to her, and the head chef taught her, she humbly accepted them without hesitation. She really learned a lot from the head chef, and several times she even took over the cooking for him in an emergency, and after the customers tasted her dishes, their reactions were not bad.

  After eating Gu Jie's cooking, Tian Nuanyu knew that Gu Jie's culinary skills were quite good.

  Gu Sis prepared dishes are relatively light and pay great attention to nutritional matching, today Tian Nuan Yu wants to change a style, cooking a few different small dishes for Mu Yu Xin to taste.

  Today is the twelfth day of Tian Nuanyu entering Jingzhuang Manor.

  After the first week, perhaps after passing her initial probation, on Monday of the second week, the driver's position was handed over to her. The original driver, Old He, who had been driving Mu Yuexin, was recalled by the company to drive for Mu Ao Yun when she went out on business trips. She is now fully accompanying Mu Yuexin by her side.

  After two weeks of companionship, her relationship with Mu Yu Xin hadn't become much closer, and this didn't strike Tian Nuan Yu as strange.

  In such a large mountain villa, most of the time every day, there is only Mu Yu Xing alone, and it's self-evident that she is lonely. Perhaps because of this, Mu Ao Yun would hire a tutor with a high salary. This tutor was not to teach Mu Yu Xing knowledge or supervise her studies, but actually to find someone to accompany Mu Yu Xing, to keep her company and alleviate her loneliness.

  Tian Nuanyu finally understood why Mu Ao Yun said to her during the interview that she should also become Mu Yu Xin's partner and sister.

  It's just that Mu Yu Xing has been alone for so many years, how could she easily accept a stranger approaching her? Even more impossible is to casually let someone enter her inner world.

  Loneliness makes people mature and independent, a rich life, a prominent family background, Mu Yu Xing has more self-centered pride, Tian Nuan Yu has experienced it many times.

  She won't over-accommodate or compromise with Mu Yu Xin, for Mu Yu Xin self is important, but for Tian Nanyu, self-respect is more important.

  She didn't want to lose this job, but hoped she could be friends with Mu Yu Xin.

  Tian Nuoyu was busy in the kitchen for about half an hour, her masterpiece was completed smoothly, and she placed her own masterpiece on the dining table.

  As soon as she had arranged the chopsticks, Mu Yu Xing also came downstairs to the dining hall. When Mu Yu Xing saw the dishes on the table, he couldn't help but reveal a look of surprise.
