How bad was Xiao Qian's cooking?
This topic was something her family didn't want to discuss.
When she was young, her family wasn't wealthy. As the eldest sister, Jia Xiufang was busy with her business, and Chen Lin would often play cards. Thus, Jia Xiufang trained Xiao Qian to help her out in the kitchen. Normally, eldest daughters in small business families would learn to cook simple noodles by the age of 10.
Jia Xiufang let her try making fried eggs when she was 12.
The pan got burnt.
The result was a black, lumpy mess.
Chen Zilong was frightened and burst into tears when he saw it.
The neighbor's dog wouldn't even touch it, and in the end, it all had to be thrown away.
No one knew how she could have such talent – she managed to make even the simplest dish so horribly wrong. The pan was so black that Jia Xiufang had to scrub with a steel wool ball for half an hour to clean it up.
