Chapter 520: Chapter 520
Actually, Nina Sinclair wanted to show off her cooking skills a bit.
The dishes for today were carefully thought out by her, taking into consideration the fact that the elders might have dental issues, so she avoided making anything tough, hard, or spicy, focusing instead on mild and easily digestible foods.
With the absence of these heavy flavors, the dishes truly tested her culinary skills.
Nevertheless, Nina Sinclair executed them all excellently.
She prepared a whole table full of dishes on her own, looking quite accomplished.
The small village didn’t have air conditioning, so although the night brought cooler temperatures, the steam from the kitchen turned Nina Sinclair’s face rosy red.
Seeing this, Julian Lancaster tenderly and gently picked up a towel to wipe the light sweat off her forehead, "You’ve worked hard. You sit here and wait, I’ll go serve the rice."
After he spoke, he pressed Nina Sinclair down into a seat and turned to serve the rice.
Old Master Lancaster, observing how Julian was treating Nina Sinclair so gently, even willing to let her sit first and serve the rice himself, felt a bit jealous.
That grandson of his had never treated him .
Incredible, getting a wife and forgetting about his old man!
Old Madam Lancaster looked at the dishes before her, knowing that Nina Sinclair must have put effort into them, she praised, "Nina, did you make all these dishes? They look really appetizing, you’re amazing!"
Hearing Old Madam Lancaster’s compliment, Nina Sinclair smiled shyly.
"Yes, I made them all. Grandpa, Grandma, please try and see if they suit your tastes."
Old Madam Lancaster picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in her mouth.
After she finished swallowing, her eyes lit up and she repeatedly praised, "Oh! This braised pork is really delicious, fatty but not greasy, dry but not tough."
Old Master Lancaster, hearing her words, looked at the dish of braised pork in front of him, and couldn’t resist swallowing hard.
His favorite dish was braised pork, but ever since the Lancaster Family changed chefs recently, the braised pork was terribly unpalatable, and it had even made him vomit last time. After that, he banned the chef from making braised pork, and he hadn’t had any in a long time.
Now, with a plate of beautifully aromatic braised pork in front of him, his craving was awakened.
Old Madam Lancaster knew Old Master Lancaster wouldn’t back down from words, but she didn’t bother arguing with him. She directly placed a piece of braised pork into Old Master Lancaster’s bowl, saying, "Alright, let’s talk after eating. Go ahead and try this, it’s really good."
Old Master Lancaster couldn’t hold back any longer and picked up the braised pork to eat.
As the braised pork melted in his mouth, Old Master Lancaster’s previously tense brow relaxed, and he was thoroughly impressed.
This was the taste he had been seeking for so long, always lingering in his thoughts!
Julian Lancaster returned with the rice, placing the bowls in front of Old Master Lancaster and Old Madam Lancaster, "Grandpa, Grandma, let’s eat."
Now, Old Master Lancaster no longer had any complaints, digging in heartily and eating two whole bowls of rice with great appetite!
In the end, he was so full that he had to go for a walk in the garden. Follow current novels on novᴇl(ꜰ)ire.ɴet
After the meal, Auntie An voluntarily offered to wash the dishes. After all, the master had invited her to sit at the table, so she should contribute in kind.
Nina Sinclair and Old Madam Lancaster, along with Julian Lancaster, were then dragged out for a walk by Old Master Lancaster.
Old Madam Lancaster held Nina Sinclair’s hand, a gentle smile on her face, and softly said, "Nina, his grandfather is just a straightforward person, don’t let it bother you."
"No, I think Grandpa is quite interesting."
Nina Sinclair had been a little afraid of Old Master Lancaster before, but watching his various behaviors today, she found him quite amusing. He was just a stubborn old man, not really scary at all.
She believed that Grandfather Lancaster would change his opinion of her.
She would also strive to prove herself, to show that she was no less than Heidi Leighton!
