Chapter Title: A Journey into the Unknown (7)

Chapter no. 34

(Qin Zetian’s POV)

We returned safely at the back entrance of the manor near my courtyard. Luckily Weishen wasn’t frightened by the flying speed that we have on our journey back. She even wanted to learn how to ride a horse with me. And I agreed easily, since we returned late I volunteered to cook a delicious meal for us. But of course the mighty glutton is present. For the first time in my life I have never felt so free.

In my past life I used to work and work and work and work till I sleep on the table of my office with a cold coffee on my side and a freezing air-conditioned room. My eyes will be very red and my head will ache a lot. When I was free from work I was eventually under medication because of Leukemia. And when I was free from medication, I was then confined in a hospital bed till I died. What a pity right? People should learn to appreciate the things that they can do because there are those who cannot do the same. People should learn to take good care of their health and enjoy their lives responsibly, because not all of us were gifted the same fate of living a normal life.

“I knew the both of you will arrive! Hello, call me big sister Roushi or Ruru or Rou’er like Zeze, I am the same age as her and I like little kids!” Then she lightly patted Weishen’s head which turned out awkward and made Weishen shy

I shook my head and eventually started cooking.

“Oi! How can you let me cook all of these and eat my stuff without helping?”

“Zeze you know this princess cannot cook as delicious as your cooking techniques, I don’t even know what kind of recipes you’re following, so hehe… it’s impossible for me to help”

I chuckled.

“Since there are only three of us, I will trouble the both of you to fix the dining set. Gather plates and utensils. I made a Bulalo soup (beef) that’s essential for the body and I fried chili sauced chicken wings with pineapple. And for the dessert we will experiment tonight and I need your cooperation, it’s easy to do so but we can only eat the dessert in the morning”

“Sounds fun, I’m glad I can finally learn a good dessert from you Zeze!”

While Weishen smiled shyly.

“Is it okay if I help? Won’t it burden you big sisters?”

“Not at all! Weiwei it’s good that we can learn some specialties from Zeze because she loves cooking so much and I want to have a remembrance from her. Knowledge can be passed through and it will never be lost”

“Is that true big sister?”

I nodded

Then I served the soup with rice and the fried chili sauced chicken wings.

“This is great! I wanted to be a chef someday and learn from master Zeze, instead of becoming a princess!”

“Big sister Zeze, the soup is so yummy! And I love the spiciness of the chicken, it is also sweet and savory”

“Eat more Shen’er, you need to grow as tall as I am”

“Hey! Weiwei can be as tall as me! Look I am even taller than you!”

The three of us laughed.

When we were done eating, they washed the dishes while I prepared the ingredients. I wanna teach them how to make mango floats.

“Big sister we’re done! What are we gonna do?”

“Wow there are so many ripe mangoes where did you get these?”

“We have mango trees at the back, well where do you think did I got ’em from?”

“How can we help?”

“First we need to wash these mangoes and make sure the skin is clean”

We washed the mangoes thoroughly.

“Next, Shen’er can you grind these biscuits till it resembles more of a powdered biscuit?”

“How about the rest?” Roushi asked

“We will use them later. For now I want you to mix different types of ingredients for the milk”

I peeled the mangoes and cut them into thin elongated slices with the use of the spoon. After that I got a large rectangular container. Then we slowly piled the ingredients. And the night ended with us having so much fun.
