Helena was somewhat moved by the interaction between the Donghuang sisters. She glanced at Cleveland and found that the situation was completely different.
"Big sister! Please try this!"
Cleveland took the food Montpelier picked up for her with a bowl and smiled happily, "Thank you, you should eat quickly too, you don't have to keep picking up food for me."
Montpellier looked at Cleveland with a look of admiration in her eyes. "This is what I should do, big sister. Try this again!"
"Hmm, Montpellier, your taste is surprisingly similar to mine. We like pretty much the same things."
Montpellier nodded without saying anything. When Cleveland picked up the dishes himself, he quietly and carefully took notes of the dishes so as to better understand Cleveland's preferences.
Helena looked at the performance of the Cleveland sisters and sighed, "... Although that's what I said, it's still quite different from me..."
Yixian smiled and asked her, "What's the difference?"
"Well... she won't smile so happily in front of me." Helena looked at Cleveland, who was smiling brightly across from her, and whispered to Yixian, "Yes, that's it, like a sunflower..."
Yixian nodded to show her understanding, and then asked her: "Is there anything else that is different?"
"Yes... a lot..." Helena pouted and started to poke at the rice bowl again, "She talked about everything with Montpellier. If she was with me, she wouldn't talk so much..."
"She even picked up food for Montpellier, even though she had been sitting next to me for so long and had never helped me pick up food..."
"Also, I don't know when she became so close to my sister. Sometimes she has more fun playing with my sister than with me..."
Helena felt more and more aggrieved as she spoke, "Don't you think she was too much... I was the first person to meet her..."
"Huh? Are you going to cry?" Yixian leaned to the side to help Helena block Cleveland's gaze. "Okay... don't be sad, or they will think I'm bullying you."
Helena sniffed, suppressed her emotions, and then responded to Yixian's teasing with a smile, "Don't talk nonsense, you are my master in cooking. Susu likes your dishes more. Well... I still have to learn well."
"Then come when you are free. I have plenty of time and can teach you well." Yixian paused and added with a smile: "The dishes that Cleveland likes to eat are not difficult to learn, right?"
"Shout, why should I learn those? It's better to learn more about what Su Su likes to eat."
Helena said this while looking at Su Xin who was eating obediently not far away, and then looked at Phoenix who wanted to leave his seat to scoop up the mapo tofu, and simply took her own spoon and scooped a spoonful for Phoenix.
"Hmm? Thank you Nana~" Phoenix smiled happily, sat back in his seat and started eating and drinking.
Helena smiled and was about to withdraw her hand when she saw Cleveland looking at her hopefully from across the street. Helena paused and finally sat back down, pretending not to see it.
Cleveland, who was sitting across from him, put down his bowl in dismay. But the little conductor who had finished his meal quickly appeared out of nowhere and stuffed a pair of very long chopsticks into Cleveland's hand, "These are serving chopsticks."
"Huh?" Cleveland was stunned, not understanding what Commander Su meant.
The young commander looked angry and reminded in a low voice: "Help Hai Ma pick up some food!"
“Ah…I…I understand.
Cleveland watched the young conductor return to his seat, then swallowed his saliva, picked up a piece of braised pork ribs, stood up and wanted to put it in Helena's bowl.
"Uh…Uh…Helena?"
Helena looked up expressionlessly.
Cleveland licked his lips nervously, "Hmm...would you like to try this? It's delicious..."
Helena glanced at Cleveland, who was in a state of emergency, and then glanced at Montpelier, who was standing next to Cleveland with a look of "big sister is so attentive", and snorted, and took the tempting ribs in a bowl reluctantly.
"...Thanks."
"Eh? No... I'm fine."
Helena took a bite of the ribs, which tasted just the right amount of sweet and salty, and suddenly her appetite seemed to improve.
"Hey, hey." Changdao quietly approached Su Xin and asked her curiously, "How did you know to pass the chopsticks to Cleveland?"
Commander Su was very proud when he heard this. "I learned this. This is how it's played in TV dramas. This shows that I have made some progress!"
Hearing this, Nagashima glanced at Lafite who was holding the bowl with grievance, Amagi who was smiling even brighter, Akagi who was staring at the last piece of spareribs on the plate, Shokaku who was staring at Akagi, and Shokaku who found the little commander so considerate that he felt even more pity for him.
Atago.
"...I have achieved nothing."
Chapter 291: Dad and Mom Romance
"Ah, you're here. It's still early. How come you're here half an hour early?"
While stirring the egg liquid in the container, Yixian asked Helena, who had just stepped into the kitchen, with a smile: "Are you impatient?"
"What are you talking about?" Helena replied casually, then moved closer to Yixian and watched him beat the eggs quickly and evenly with chopsticks.
"Well... there's still more than an hour before breakfast is served. I remember our appointment yesterday was at 7:30, right? If you come so early, I'll just have to conscript you to help me out, right?"
Hearing this, Helena naturally turned around, took out an apron from the cupboard and put it on. Then she half-jokingly replied, "Okay, I'll do whatever the master tells me to do."
Yixian smiled, put the beaten egg liquid aside, then took some rice and poured it into another container, and gave it to Helena to help wash the rice.
She took out the fresh little octopus and began to clean and cut it skillfully, then cut it into pieces of appropriate size and set it aside for later use.
Helena asked her curiously, "What are you doing? Breakfast?"
"Well... I want to make seafood porridge." Yixian wiped his hands, took some ingredients and started to prepare, "We are at the seaside after all, so I want to try and see if everyone likes it.
Helena poured the washed rice into the pot while thinking, "Well... I'm fine with it, but my sister has a bigger appetite, so I might have to do a little more."
"Hmm? What about Cleveland? How much can she eat on a normal day?"
"Well... about two - well, how could I know." Helena hummed and didn't want to talk more, "You might as well ask her sister. Montpellier must know more than me."
Yixian smiled and put down the vinegar bottle in his hand. He thought that the sour taste should be enough even without adding it, so he started to cook the porridge.
Helena had nothing to do for the moment, so she had to stand aside and stare at Yixian's busy back in a daze. She didn't know what she was thinking. Even the sound of the ingredients being put into the hot oil could not bring her back to her senses.
Yixian glanced at him inconspicuously without disturbing the other party. He just tried to speed up his movements and finish the food that could serve as the staple food to fill his stomach first.
After the buns were put into the pot and the seafood porridge started to cook, Yixian took out his mobile phone to check the time. After a while, he walked to Helena who was still in a daze, stretched out his hand and waved it gently in front of her eyes.
"Hmm, hm?" Helena came back to her senses, with a look of confusion as if she was suddenly disturbed. "What's wrong?"
"It's like this." Yixian smiled sheepishly, "I have something to do and need to go out for a while. Can you help me take care of the fire? In case it's out, we can start fighting again."
This was nothing to Helena, who had cooked before, so she agreed easily. "Go ahead, but if you can't come back for a while, remember to tell me to turn off the fire, okay?"
"of course."
Yixian smiled, took off her apron, put it away and went out, leaving Helena alone in the kitchen, staring at the slightly jumping flames in a daze.
Helena found that she seemed to like daydreaming more and more recently. When her mind was empty and she didn't think about anything, time would pass quickly. If she didn't know that the ship girl would not have Alzheimer's disease, she would start to worry about her own sanity.
The.
It was the same now, time passed quietly while she was in a daze, until the sound of the door opening behind her woke her from the silence.
"Hmm? Yixian, you come back——
"I'm sorry I'm late
"...Cleveland?"
"Eh? Helena?"
"Knock knock."
"Susu? Are you up?"
Yixian stood outside the door, listening to the commander's slightly annoyed response from the inner room, then he smiled, opened the door, and walked into Su Xin's room.
At this moment, Commander Su was struggling with Sheffield. One of them held one end of the trousers and started pulling them in the middle of the room.
"Sister Sheffield, I told you I can wear it myself!"
"It is the maid's duty to help the master get dressed. Please...please don't make things difficult for me."
"I've already told you that you don't have to do this. Sister Sheffield doesn't have to be a maid. I can take care of myself!"
"Master is being stubborn again. He asked me to help clean up the desk just the day before yesterday, didn't he?"
Su Xin was furious, but for her to say bluntly "I asked you to clean on purpose" was a bit subtle, and sounded like a shameless child.
So she had no choice but to stay in her nightgown, pulling up her pants while looking at Sister Yixian for help.
Yixian found it somewhat amusing. How could a master and a maid fight over pants? It was unprecedented for a commander to act like Su Xin.
But no matter how funny it was, she still had to stand behind Su Xin and support her.
So Yixian discussed with Sheffield in a friendly manner: "Let her dress herself? The breakfast may be quite rich, and I will have to trouble you to take care of Susu then."
Sheffield had something to do, so he stopped forcing it and simply loosened his pants, letting the little conductor take a few steps backwards before falling on the bed.
She bowed to Yixian, then glanced at the little commander who was holding his pants tightly in his arms, and stepped aside silently.
Su Xin heaved a sigh of relief when she saw this. She then had the opportunity to ask Yixian why she came. "Sister Yixian, why did you suddenly come to my place? Do you want to eat early today?"
"No." Yixian took the pants out of Su Xin's hand gently, changed into a dress and stuffed it back, "I came to see you for a show."
"Watch a show?" The little conductor was attracted by the word. She didn't even bother to get her pants back. She took the dress and went to the bathroom. "Wait for me. It will be done soon."
Yixian smiled softly. After the bathroom door was closed, she looked at Sheffield who came forward to smooth out the wrinkles on the bed, and suddenly spoke softly:
"Susu is quite opinionated and not too willing to make changes, so she probably won't let you interfere too much."
"But you can talk about something else while you're doing it to distract her, maybe that will work."
Sheffield nodded thoughtfully to show that he understood, smoothed out his wrinkles, and quietly walked to the bathroom to wait.
When the little commander opened the door and came out, she quickly took the nightgown from him and put it away, and reminded him before he could protest:
“It may be too late for the ‘drama’ Miss Yixian just mentioned.
"Eh? Oh, yes, sister, let's go quickly. What play is it? Have I seen it?"
Yixian responded and nodded to Sheffield, receiving a very sincere salute from the maid.
Chapter 292 My Parents’ Romance 2
"Prrrrr..."
Helena: "Ah! Cleveland, turn off the fire over there! It's overflowing!"
Cleveland: "Huh? Okay, okay, I've turned it off. Where's the rag? Let me wipe it."
Helena looked at the time and said anxiously, "How should I know? This is the first time I've been back to the kitchen in such a long time. You might as well go and look for it yourself instead of asking me!"
Cleveland nodded, turned around and began to look through the cupboards. "Well, I remember it should be in..."
"Pyrpyrpy
Helena: "Cleveland! Turn off the pressure cooker! I'm cooking and can't leave!"
"Eh? Pressure cooker, pressure cooker... Close it, close it. Do you want to close the other pot? The one in it seems to be cooked."
Helena put the ingredients into the wok and fried them. After hearing what she said, she took the time to glance over there, "What kind of wok is that? Ah! My egg custard! Turn off the fire, turn off the fire!"
Cleveland quickly turned off the stove knob, then looked at the dry bottom of the pot and naturally scooped a basin of water into the pot.
Helena had just finished assembling the dishes when she turned around and heard the sudden rise of mist and Cleveland's somewhat panicked voice.
She hurried over and asked, "Are you okay? Just leave it alone when it's dry, why are you adding water all of a sudden?"
Cleveland touched his head a little embarrassedly and said, "I saw that there was no water in it, so... ahaha..."
Helena sighed, and after confirming that both the person and the pot were fine, she went back to cooking. "Why can't I get in touch with Yixian? The time is almost up. How can I make it in time alone..."
Cleveland touched his nose and stood there in a daze.
It's not that she didn't want to help, it's just that she herself wasn't very good at cooking. When she cooked with Helena before, she was the one who cut the vegetables and Helena cooked them.
At best, she was just a dishwasher in Cleveland, and a part-time dishwasher at that. If she were to be the chef, the food wouldn't turn out to be weird, but it certainly wouldn't be delicious.
Even though Cleveland has a strong learning ability, she has never learned to cook in such a long time. She just habitually pairs up with Helena. Therefore, this is suddenly useless, which makes Cleveland somewhat
lost.
Helena doesn't care whether you are disappointed or not, she only knows that it is really too late for breakfast.
Therefore, she has to perform several duties, cooking, controlling the heat, and seasoning at the same time. One person has to do the work of three or four people, and the pressure is very great.
As the time approached 8:10, she realized that it might not be possible for one person to accomplish so many things, so she called Cleveland and they started working together.
"Take out the steamed buns over there. Remember to use a towel or gloves to cushion them. They are very hot."
"Oh oh..." Cleveland was capable of such simple tasks. He took out the hot and soft white buns smoothly and placed them neatly on the plate.
