Chapter 177 – Giving her a hard time (6)

Hehua had been worrying about not having an opportunity to show off her skills . Hearing these words, she was overjoyed . "Sure, I'll go cook it right away . "

But, Li Xiangyu was still unhappy . She stared at Li Man . "You don't even know how to cook a pig head . What can you do then?"

"Older sister, it's not like she's a chef at a restaurant . Not everyone knows how to cook this dish . I don't know either," said Li Xiangcao .

Li Xiangyu glared at her younger sister and scolded her . "You only know how to help other people . It was such a waste to raise you . "

After saying this, Li Xiangyu left to coach Hehua .

Li Xiangcao apologetically looked at Li Man . "Sorry, this is so embarrassing . "

Li Man shook her head . "It's okay . I'll go pick some vegetables . It won't be enough to just eat pig head meat . Meat has to be paired up with vegetables . " Although her voice wasn't loud, it was enough for Li Xiangyu, who had just taken a step out of the kitchen .

Sure enough, Li Xiangyu paused . She turned her head and coldly glared at Li Man .

Li Man simply grinned at her . Her sweet lovable appearance stumped Li Xiangyu for a moment .

If they were competing based on looks, Li Man was infinitely better than Hehua .

It saved Li Man a lot of effort with someone else cooking the pig head meat . She went to the garden and picked two handfuls of string beans, thee small cucumbers, and enough leafy greens to fill a small basket . After Li Mo pumped up water from the well for her, she washed the vegetables and started to cook .

Little Five was tending the cooking fire below while she was responsible for cooking on the stovetop .

It was easy to cook the vegetarian dishes . It didn't take her long to finish cooking the leafy vegetables . She transferred them onto a small plate . The vegetables' vibrant green color looked very appetizing .

When Li Man was preparing to cook the string beans, Li Xiangyu popped up next to her . Startled, Li Man's heart palpitated . "Big aunt . "

"Keep cooking . " Li Xiangyu ordered with a cold face .

"Oh . " Li Man secretly stuck out her tongue . Seeing that the big pot was heated up, she quickly poured oil into the pot .

However, this action provoked Li Xiangyu . She snatched the oil jar from Li Man . While scooping the oil out of the pot with a cooking utensil, she shouted, "Are you cooking vegetables or eating oil? Do you think this oil doesn't cost money? You're such a spendthrift . "

Li Man blankly stood to the side . She saw that Li Xiangyu had poured back more than half of the sesame oil in the pot . There was barely any oil left in the bottom of the pot . She didn't know whether to laugh or cry . Even if oil was expensive, they still had to use it for cooking .

As Li Xiangyu took the oil jar away, she shouted at Li Man, "Why are you just standing there? Pour in the vegetables . Are you waiting for the pot to burn?" 

Li Man felt a bit mad, but thinking about how Li Xiangyu was her elder, she decided that it was only right for her to be more accommodating towards her . Besides, Li Mo had already forewarned her . "En," she quietly said . She dumped the string beans into the pot and seriously worked on stir-frying .

Seeing that her cooking posture and movements were decent, Li Xiangyu sneered and didn't say anything else .

However, when Li Man was about to add salt, she spoke again, "Wait . "

Then, she took the salt container from her and used a spoon to scoop out a little salt . "That'll be enough . Salt is also something that costs money . "

Li Man was speechless . She really wanted to say; they might as well not any food at all . Rice and noodle flour cost money too .

At this moment, Little Five got up and said to Li Xiangyu, "Big aunt, the food doesn't taste good when there's not enough salt . "
