How can one become an immortal with such laziness?

Will four pots be a bit insufficient? After all, it's normal for beginners to waste ingredients...

Well, rounding it off, kitchen utensils count as ingredients too!

Chapter 149 Reciprocating Power Machines that Convert Steam Energy into Mechanical Work

"Or maybe we shouldn't just leave the lid on..."

Hongli pondered, "That way, it won't explode and then..."

Before she could finish speaking, Hongli suddenly froze.

She slowly raised her head, looked at the densely packed pot lids embedded in the ceiling, and fell silent.

"One, two, oh, I remember now, twelve were blown up..."

One didn't explode, but it ruined the bottom of the pot. The last batch was thrown away too…

"call……"

Taking a deep breath, Hong Li leaped lightly into the air, controlling her strength perfectly to stop beneath the ceiling.

In a split second of airtime, Hong Li swept her hands out of the air, grabbing all twelve pot lids into her arms, and then gracefully crouched down to land!

"Humph!"

A smug smile curved Hong Li's lips.

"Click!"

Several pieces of gravel fell from the ceiling and landed on Hong Li's head.

"..."

The character "井" (well) appeared on his forehead, conveying everything without words.

……

"Crash!"

All the pot lids were thrown in the corner, and Hongli was thinking of finding an opportunity to eliminate all the evidence.

But right now, cooking is the priority!

What was I thinking about? Oh, right, what's the possibility that an unsealed seal could cause an explosion...?

Hongli frowned: "But, if we don't cover it, won't it be cooked through? Or should we cook it for a few more minutes?"

After thinking about it, I decided to play it safe.

[Hongli: Heiyang, quick, go to the street and buy me more than ten pots. I need them, the kind with lids!]

[Black Sun: ???]

[Heiyang: What are you doing? Preparing for domestic violence?]

[Hongli: No way, brother, I already gave you a hint, how could you not guess?]

[Hongli: Let me be blunt, I've got it all ready for you soon. Yes, that's right, your birthday present is a homemade breakfast/lunch from your girlfriend...]

Uh, what time is it now? If it's four in the afternoon...?

[Hongli: Oh, right, a sunset dinner! Ugh, a sunset dinner, a sunset dinner made by your girlfriend, doesn't that sound amazing? Sounds so romantic, right?]

[Black Sun: ...]

[Kurosun: That sounds really ominous...]

[Black Sun: What do you mean, it implies that the Black Sun is about to set, right?]

[Hei Yang: Besides, you're asking for more than ten big pots right off the bat. Who would guess you're going to use them for cooking!]

[Hei Yang: What's up? Planning to cook me a feast? How about a five-color banquet?]

[Hei Yang: Also, how come I didn't know you could cook? You're not really cramming at the last minute, are you? That won't do!]

[Hongli: Stop yelling! Who told you I just learned? Just because I wasn't around for a year doesn't mean you're allowed to suddenly learn needlework, but I'm not allowed to cook!]

Hongli: Let me tell you, I've been the one cooking every time we've had to cook at home this past year! I have a lot of cooking experience now!

Forget about the five-color feast; one dish will be enough for you!

[Black Sun: Oh ho, then why do we need so many pots?]

[Hongli: Don't ask. It's just that there's a special way to cook it, and it's normal that you don't know.]

[Black Sun: So...]

[Hongli: So stop talking nonsense and go buy it! Oh, and while you're at it, also buy some bitter melon-flavored cookies as gifts.]

[Hei Yang: Ah, alright, alright, really, I have to prepare my own gift, tsk tsk...]

Hei Yang shook his head and chuckled: "This guy is a complete liar. He claims she's the one who does all the cooking at home, but he won't say how many times she's actually cooked!"

Based on his understanding of Hong Li and their conversation, he could roughly guess that this guy had probably only been learning to cook for a short time, most likely since he heard that he was coming some time ago.

Furthermore, consider the more than twenty days she spent catching up on sleep in a coma...

Tsk tsk, all I can say is, those who know, know!

"However, if that's all there is to it, then there's nothing to be afraid of."

Hei Yang's brows relaxed. The unknown is the most terrifying thing. Now that he knew Hong Li was going to cook for him, there was nothing to be afraid of.

It might taste a little bad, for example, the vegetables might be too mushy, the soup might not be salty enough, or even worse, they might put the salt and sugar in the wrong places...

But so what?

It's just cooking a dish; the ingredients are right there. Even if it tastes terrible, it won't be too bad.

Moreover, the thought of Hong Li learning to cook for him and her clumsy attempts at chopping vegetables filled Hei Yang with a little secret joy and sweetness.

To be honest, even without black stockings or anything, if his girlfriend cooks him the first dish, even if it's a little unpalatable, he'll eat it with a smile and offer reasonable suggestions for improvement without even frowning!

Just thinking about how I'll be able to enjoy a lovely sunset meal made by my girlfriend soon...

Well, to be fair, this name is indeed unlucky, but a name is just a label, it's not the point!

Soon I'll not only be able to eat the dishes my girlfriend cooked, but I'll also see her wearing the clothes I made for her...

Wow, just thinking about it makes my life worthwhile!

Hei Yang hummed a little tune as he went out.

……

"Oh no! No, no, no, no!"

Hong Li gritted her teeth and "clumsily" pressed the pot lid down hard with the kitchen knife. Seeing that the pot lid was about to fly off, she interrupted her directly, not allowing the other party to release it!

only……

"Da da da……"

"Buzzing..."

"Swaying and swaying..."

"Waaaaahh ...

"What's that strange sound..."

If Hongli had seen the steam trains of the Black Sun World, she would probably have easily made the connection, but she hadn't: "What's wrong? I'm starting to shake... wait, why is this table shaking..."

"Damn it!"

Hong Li glared, her spiritual power surging, and the kitchen knife was instantly enchanted, suppressing the riot: "Hmph, the cricket explodes, don't even think about succeeding."

"call……"

Looking at the soup pot beast that she seemed to have subdued, Hong Li revealed a victorious, disdainful smile: "Is that all? So cooking is nothing special after all, it's still pretty simple..."

"click"

The knife blade broke.

"Grass……?"

Hongli: "???"

"Boom!"

A huge roar suddenly erupted, startling Xingyun and Gaga in the bedroom, who jumped up instantly: "What happened? What's wrong? What's wrong?"

"Calm down! Don't be surprised."

Little Fire patted Ga Ga's head with its wing and frowned: "Mom's just cooking, and you're making such a fuss over something so small. How are you going to handle stress in the future?"

She's seen her mother stay up late at night, crying and laughing, and even dancing in the house. What big scene hasn't she seen?

"Ignore her!"

Xiao Huo shook his head, sounding completely confident: "Mom will handle everything!"
