Chapter 275: Chapter 94 First Lesson_2
The feeling of being drunk should be unpleasant, with a stifling urge to vomit pressing against your chest, a drowsy sensation of wanting to sleep but not being able to, and the endless darkness after losing consciousness...
Du Xixi truly wished she could share some of her constitution with Ke Lian, at least to help him handle a bit of the alcohol. And... it’s really rare that Ke Lian can’t even handle rice wine!
"No need!" Ke Xing stood on tiptoes, placed the small feet of the two children on his thighs, and bounced them up and down to entertain them, "Ah Lan was trained at military school, and regardless of what he faces, he can adapt quickly. Just trust him!"
This is considered a mandatory course at the current military school. Back then, Ke Lian had a good talent; it seemed that he scored full marks in this course... Ke Xing thought for a long time but couldn’t remember if this course was among his son’s many perfect scores.
Du Xixi breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a little less worried about Ke Lian, and then eagerly stood up, calling 2569 to the kitchen.
"Xixi, what are you up to?" Ke Xing didn’t expect his daughter-in-law to rush to the kitchen early in the morning and asked curiously, not knowing where she learned this accent.
Du Xixi replied with the same accent: "Brewing wine! The alcohol level of rice wine isn’t enough at all! It’s not strong enough!"
Ke Lian: ...You truly are my dear wife!
Du Xixi: You’re too kind! Too kind!
After Ke Lian drank rice wine for several days and began to get used to its alcohol level, Du Xixi started the scheduled culinary teaching for the two adult Iron-eating Beasts.
This was something they had long agreed upon with Du Xixi, giving them a few days to adapt on CD-0329 Star and prepare everything they needed to better follow Du Xixi’s teachings.
Their Iron-eating Beast Majesty had advised them when they left, telling them to listen carefully to Du Xixi’s opinions, not to cause trouble, learn well, and wait to return to the Empire to promote their culinary skills.
The two obedient adult Iron-eating Beasts bowed respectfully to Du Xixi, who had arrived at their house, and said earnestly, "Madam Teacher, please instruct us!"
The adult Iron-eating Beasts were large, and even in a suitably-sized villa, they seemed overly robust, especially when they loudly shouted a sentence, hurting Du Xixi’s ears.
Also, what kind of title is "Madam Teacher"?
"Ahem! If you don’t mind, just call me Master Du," Du Xixi modestly waved her hand, urging them to stand upright while gently smiling at them, "Students learning cooking from me used to call me that."
Although Du Xixi was quite young during Blue Star Time, so young she could be considered "excessively young," her high status in the culinary world, being born into the Imperial Chef Family, honed her cooking skills from an early age. Her culinary skills were not the best, but still competitive against those veteran chefs.
Moreover, Du Xixi was a culinary genius infused with family experience; her mind stored thousands of ancient recipe books, cooking secrets, and various cooking techniques. Chefs eager to learn a few tricks from her were countless.
The Du Family wasn’t a family that held everything back; those elders might have kept their skills to themselves when younger, but as they aged, influenced by the open-mindedness of the era, they didn’t value culinary skills as much.
They were delighted to exchange culinary skills and were willing for Du Xixi to guide students not from their family, imparting the experience passed down by the Du Family over hundreds and thousands of years. Students taught by Du Xixi came from all over, both nationally and internationally.
To put it in an unabashedly confident way, Du Xixi’s students might not be spread across every country globally, but she could find at least a hundred students from countries renowned by name.
This was Du Xixi’s confidence, and the reason she agreed to teach culinary arts. She had the ability to teach and wasn’t afraid of teaching poorly! And "Master Du" was the most common title for Du Xixi among students learning culinary arts.
"Hello, Master Du!" The two adult Iron-eating Beasts naturally didn’t refuse, and as they spoke, they were about to bow to Du Xixi again. Du Xixi quickly stepped aside and then asked with a smile, "I suppose I don’t know your names yet?"
