Ye Han played with Lili until it was afternoon, Ada went ahead and took Lili from his hands as Lili started to cry, he smiled as he kissed Lili's forehead and said
"Be a good girl~ Daddy has a job to do."
"Agooo....*Sniff*...Waaaa"
Lili slowly stops crying as she tried to reach out and grab Ye Han's face, he complied as he let their nose and forehead touch together. Ye Han gave another kiss into her forehead before looking at Ada who was expecting a kiss, she closes her eyes and pouted her lips. Ye Han smiled as he gave her a kiss on the lips which made Ada's mood very happy, Ye Han said
"I will be going now..."
"Have a nice Afternoon! Darling!"
Ada happily hops while holding Lili who was trying to hug Ada's hand, Ye Han went ahead and opened the door as he already notices Mia coming with luggage at her back. He looks at her and said
"Let's begin~"
They entered the Ye Han's second mansion which would soon be the hostess of fertility, He used clean magic to wipe all the dust away. Mia was surprised to see unique magic, as using magic was rare in Orario except for the gods who would teach their familia about them. Ye Han said while putting the ingredients in the table
"All right, let's begin with a simple meat recipe called beef stir fry."
"Beef stir fry?"
Ye Han nodded and took out his cutting board and knife, he placed the slab of meat on the cutting board as he points out in the middle of the meat and said
"Every meat have fibers, you see these lines just like the lines you see in your palm. Well, they are called muscle fibers."
Mia nodded as she wrote what he said while looking at the meat, he said while holding a knife and cutting down the meat.
"Now for this kind of recipe, We prefer the chewy and softness of the meat. So you have to cut the meat on the opposite side of the line, if fibers of the meat are horizontal you have to cut it vertically as cutting against the muscle fiber rather than following it, would make the slice of meat very easy chew and digest."
Ye Han cut the meat into tiny slices as he was making Beef Stir Fry, Mia wrote down and draw on her notebook on how to cut meat. Ye Han then put the sliced meat in a bowl and crack an egg open and poured the egg with the beef before adding salt, he said while mixing the beef by hand
"The egg prevents the juices of the meat from coming out as it has this gooey consistency, while the salt we add also tenderize the meat while it prolongs the lifespan of the meat before it becomes contaminated."
Ye Han then let it sit for a few minutes while he started doing the vegetables, He put the broccoli, bell pepper and carrot down the cutting board and said while cutting the carrot.
"You have to cut off the dark spot of the vegetables as they are signs of rotting of the vegetable, also cut off the stem of the carrot as it can still be used to grow out new carrots in the garden. Most of the root vegetable is easy to plant but hard to harvest as the growing process will have to depend on your techniques in cultivating plants, as there are some plant who needs daily water while other plants only need once in a while but needs to be in front of the sun as the plants eats the air we breath out."
"Are plants alive?"
"They are, but they only have an instinct which is to grow, eat, and reproduce."
Mia curiously wrote it down as she was having a hard time understanding plant botany, Ye Han only tried to explain it in a barbaric way so a medieval age would understand. Ye Han then cut all the vegetables into equal thin sizes, He first put a metal sheet on the table as he put branches and started a fire. Mia's eyes shined brightly as she looks at Ye Han's techniques and skills on cooking, Ye Han put the pan on the fire as he added a 1/4 cup of oil in the pan. He waited till it started to make a sound before adding the gooey meat into the pan.
Mia could hear the sound of meat frying as Ye Han added a small saucepan beside the pan, he poured water in it and added the sliced carrot and broccoli and said
"You have to boil the vegetables first before frying it together with the beef slices as it would kill the bacteria that is in the vegetable and also will retain the nutrients inside, but you shouldn't boil it too long, 6-8 minutes is enough for them to be cook before frying them with the beef."
2 minutes later Ye Han was multitasking as he pushes the pan forward and quick slip backward which made the beef toss in the air only a few inches high, he did this cycle for 4 minutes before he took out the vegetable from the water, he then added the vegetable to the beef as he continued to push the pan forward and quick slip backwards like a professional chef.
Mia was writing and drawing everything down as she started to learn the profoundness of cooking, unknowingly to them. A few people around the area started to smell the delicious aroma of the beef stir fry, they frankly tried to find where is that delicious smell coming from. But too bad for them the smell disperse as Ye Han finished cooking after 2 minutes of frying, he put the beef stir fry in the bowl and said
"Try it."
Mia then took a fork and stab an equal amount of vegetable and meat, before taking a bite out of it. The moment her taste bud tasted the heavenly power of Ye Han's cooking, teardrops appeared in her eyes as she felt like she was in heavens made out of meat and vegetable. Ye Han took a taste before thinking "It's a bit salty", he then wrote his experience in his personal cooking notebook which he has been carrying since he started this hobby. Ye Han looks at Mia and said
"Now it's your turn to cook."
"Eh????"
