Chapter 92 - 92 92 Like a child

?Chapter 92: Chapter 92: Like a child! Chapter 92: Chapter 92: Like a child! Since it was still early and more than two hours before Yan had lunch, Zhu Qianying dawdled about in the kitchen. She would rather stay in the kitchen than go out and run into Yan.

In the meantime, Uncle Hai came in a few times, seemingly wanting to say something, but each time, he stopped before the words could leave his mouth.

Zhu Qianying couldn’t help but ask, “Uncle Hai, what’s the matter?”

Uncle Hai hesitated for a moment before finally saying, “The Young Master is on the terrace, reading and drinking tea. He asked me to check if there are any snacks suitable for tea time in the kitchen.”

Zhu Qianying immediately understood that Yan’s exact words must have been for Uncle Hai to come and ask her to prepare some tea-time snacks for him. Otherwise, according to Uncle Hai, he would have directly asked the chef, rather than struggling several times before finally speaking to her.

“There are some freshly made mango crisps in the oven. Uncle Hai, you can take them out and see if Yan likes them. If not, let someone go out and buy some other things. There’s not much fruit in the fridge, so that’s all I made!”

Originally, these mango crisps were secretly prepared by Zhu Qianying for herself, because she planned to find a book bar to hang out in the afternoon after lunch and then meet Ji Huan in the evening.

Because it was for her, Zhu Qianying didn’t make many, only six.

However, Uncle Hai took all six mango crisps out, came back in a short while and said, “Ying’er, the Young Master seems to be hungry, is there any more?”

Zhu Qianying was secretly regretting the loss of her afternoon tea snacks. Hearing Uncle Hai’s question, she couldn’t help but retort sharply.

“No more, he’s already eaten six, isn’t that enough? If he eats more, will he still have an appetite for lunch?”

It was the first time Uncle Hai heard Zhu Qianying speak in such a tone, he assumed that it was his young master who had provoked Zhu Qianying.

“Yes, I also told the Young Master, he’s almost thirty years old, he can’t eat snacks like a child, no matter how delicious they are!”

Zhu Qianying snorted and ignored Uncle Hai.

If those weren’t her afternoon tea snacks, she wouldn’t care if Eldest Young Master Yan was filled with snacks or fruit. Whether he wanted to eat the main meal or not, as long as she cooked the food according to his requirements, that was all that mattered.

As for the rest, she couldn’t and didn’t want to control!

Seeing that Zhu Qianying ignored him, Uncle Hai had no choice but to turn around and leave to report back.

“Young Master, Ying’er said there were only that many mangoes in the fridge, so she only made six, and there are none left.”

Young Master Yan was now leaning back in his chair, holding a teacup in one hand and pressing a book with the other, his eyelids drooping, as if he was seriously reading the book.

Hearing what Uncle Hai said, he didn’t even lift his eyelids and said, “Have someone go out and buy a box of mangoes and bring them back for her to make.”

Uncle Hai secretly sighed in his heart, feeling that his young master was indeed too much.

The little girl came early in the morning, didn’t even have time to sip a tea, went straight into the kitchen to prepare lunch for the young master, and now before she could finish preparing lunch, the young master asked him to make snacks again.

This was not the treatment a future young mistress should get, right? Clearly, he was treating her like free labor and bullying her!

Although Ying’er seemed to be easy to talk to, it didn’t mean he could bully her just because she was!

If today’s person in the kitchen was Miss Yi, their young master probably wouldn’t even want her to touch the water!

Alas, it’s true, same people but different fates!

After thinking about it, Uncle Hai finally decided to take the risk and try to persuade him, “Young Master…”
Young Master Yan finally lifted his eyelids to look at him but cut him off midway.

“Besides mangoes, also buy a box of durians and let her make some Durian Crisps.”

Uncle Hai sighed softly, thinking as he walked, just buy some Mango Crisp and Durian Crisp from outside and bring them back, so that he could satisfy his young master and not make things difficult for Ying’er.

As he stepped into the room, the voice of his master Yan chased after him, “Don’t think about buying some random stuff from outside to fob me off. The taste of her cooking can’t be replicated by anyone else!”

Uncle Hai rarely defied his young master, but this time, he couldn’t help but flip him off in his heart.

After instructing the chef to go out and buy mangoes and durians, Uncle Hai again entered the kitchen.

Zhu Qianying thought Uncle Hai wouldn’t come in again, and was somewhat surprised.

“Uncle Hai, just have a seat. I’ll take care of serving Yan when I’m done making the meal, don’t worry.”

She was not a petty person, and it was only because she couldn’t help it that she had snapped at Uncle Hai. She was very clear, Uncle Hai was in just as difficult a position as her.

Therefore, her attitude towards Uncle Hai softened this time.

But the more she acted like this, the more guilty Uncle Hai felt.

Who would have thought that he, a man in his fifties, would join his master in bullying a little girl!

Feeling guilty, he couldn’t utter the words the young master said earlier.

Zhu Qianying saw Uncle Hai pacing back and forth in the kitchen, neither speaking nor doing anything, only occasionally sneaking a glance at her.

She felt increasingly strange. But being as smart as she was, she quickly suspected why Uncle Hai was having such a hard time.

“Uncle Hai, did Yan ask me to make more snacks for him?”

Uncle Hai was very reluctant to nod his head, because if he nodded, he would be an accomplice to the young master.

But he couldn’t not nod!

“Um… Ying’er…”

Uncle Hai wanted to say something to comfort her, but how could he say it?

In the end, he couldn’t get over his conscience, this girl was easy to talk to, but that wasn’t a reason to bully her frivolously!

“Uncle Hai, I know you’re in a dilemma, it’s okay, just tell me clearly what snacks he wants me to make. After all, it’s still more than an hour until lunchtime, it’s still early.”

Uncle Hai sighed, “Ying’er, I’m useless, I can’t help you much. The Young Master wants to eat mango crisp and durian crisp, I have already ordered someone to go and buy the fruits.”

Zhu Qianying nodded calmly, “Alright, I’ll prepare the roti prata dough first and make the desserts when the fruit arrives.”

Uncle Hai patted her on the shoulder, “Ying’er, you’ve worked hard, the Young Master’s temper…”
Zhu Qianying smiled at him, “Uncle Hai, it’s okay, I’m used to it.”

Yes, indeed, she was used to it.

As long as she obediently followed his requirements, she would be able to go about her business peacefully.

Overall, in this regard, Yan was somewhat better than her own deadbeat father.

At least, for now, he has not explicitly restricted her freedom of action.

After working in the kitchen for over a decade, Zhu Qianying had learnt quite a few skills, and her execution speed was exceptionally fast. In just over an hour she had not only made the eight dishes and one soup Yan had requested but also made the additional mango and durian crisps he had specified.

This time, she learned her lesson and promptly put the snacks she wanted to eat in a food container, before letting Uncle Hai take the rest out.

After washing her face, Zhu Qianying walked into the dining room and overheard Yan instructing Uncle Hai, “Keep the mango and durian crisps for afternoon tea.”
