NOVPUBChapter 1091: Chapter 1091: Divine Assistance for Attack_1 Chapter 1091 -1091: Divine Assistance for Attack_1 “Hey, Peggy,” she poked Peggy on the arm, “move over a bit, I want to sit here.
Your dad will be sitting here in a while too.
We can’t just let you take up the middle, can you?”
Peggy looked around innocently.
She was such an innocent one.
There was plenty of space on both sides, Mrs.
and Mr.
Lewis could totally sit there.
...
Taking advantage of the situation, Lyke quickly stood up and said, “How can I let godmother and godfather sit on chairs?
I should sit on the chair.
You should sit on the couch.”
“That won’t do, that won’t do.
You guys are our guests, we can’t let you sit on chairs,” Mrs.
Lewis immediately rejected the idea.
“Well, you are my elders.
I can’t just stretch out comfortably on the sofa, can I?” Lyke said.
With a gentle nudge to Mrs.
Lewis’s shoulder, he guided her to the sofa, “Please sit on the sofa, it will make me feel better.”
After making sure Mrs.
Lewis was comfortably sitting on the couch, Lyke hurriedly dragged his chair to sit next to Peggy.
It was a pity that there wasn’t as much room as on the couch to sit closer.
However, sitting next to Peggy like this, it felt a lot like he was part of the family.
Lyke was quite pleased with this.
After a while, Mr.
Lewis also came back.
Upon entering, Mr.
Lewis first went to wash his hands.
After cleaning up, he came into the living room and took a look.
Hmm?
Why was Lyke sitting on a chair instead of the sofa?
The dining chair wasn’t as comfortable as the couch and definitely less formal.
How could they let a guest sit on a chair?
Just as Mr.
Lewis was about to speak up, Mrs.
Lewis stood up and led him away.
“There is a space here, you sit here,” Mrs.
Lewis said.
“But!” Mr.
Lewis started to object.
Mrs.
Lewis quickly gave him a nudge and whispered, “It’s nice this way.
If we sit on chairs, Lyke won’t be comfortable.
Besides, he and Peggy are close, it’s more comfortable for the two of them to sit together.”
Lyke thought to himself, “Mrs.
Lewis is indeed a powerful ally!
She isn’t inferior to the Old Madam!”
He really should introduce Mrs.
Lewis to Old Madam.
Mr.
Lewis had to discard his previous idea for now.
It was also inappropriate to ask Mrs.
Lewis what was going on right now.
“Right, we also bought some ingredients back,” Peggy said.
“What did you buy ingredients for?
We have everything at home.
I even went to the market today and bought quite a bit,” Mrs.
Lewis replied.
Peggy explained, “Didn’t I say that I was going to cook for you guys tonight?
So, I went to the supermarket and got everything I need according to the recipe.”
“You silly girl, why didn’t you tell me earlier?
Then so much was purchased, isn’t it wasteful?” Mrs.
Lewis asked.
“How can it be wasteful?
It’s all food, we can just eat it regularly.
And there are seven of us today,” Peggy added, counting Morgan.
Even though Morgan’s portion could only be considered half, that still made six and a half.
“I know my own level.
I can only handle three or four dishes at my very best.
You still need to handle the rest,” Peggy said.
Mrs.
Lewis laughed, “You indeed know yourself very well.”
“Of course, I’ve only cooked once, so I have a good understanding of my own level,” Peggy said.
Mrs.
Lewis had a different focus to Mr.
Lewis when he heard that.
“So you’ve cooked before?” Mr.
Lewis, who knows Peggy very well, asked, “When did you get so diligent?
So, even living on your own, you can actually cook by yourself now?”
They didn’t mind Peggy living on her own.
What they were really worried about was Peggy’s nutritional intake when it came to meals. 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓅𝓊𝓫.𝒸ℴ𝓶
She was too lazy to cook and not keen on using a stove.
Always ordering takeout and often not eating on time.
With such a diet, her nutrition was lacking, and it wasn’t great for her stomach health either.
How could they not worry?
And now, Peggy is saying that she can cook for herself?
Peggy Lewis: “…”
Instinctively, she felt she couldn’t tell her parents that the first time she cooked was for Lyke Zhekova.
They would certainly be upset if they knew.
Especially Mr.
Lewis, if he knew that her first attempt at cooking didn’t start with their tasting but benefited Lyke Zhekova first.
Wouldn’t he have a complaint against Lyke Zhekova?
So, Peggy Lewis vaguely said, “since I’m preparing it for you, shouldn’t I practice first before that?
It must be deemed tasty.
Otherwise, if I made a table full of burnt or seasoned wrong dishes, it would be inappropriate.”
Upon hearing this, Mr.
Lewis thought it made sense and stopped questioning.
After Peggy Lewis finished speaking, she immediately turned her head and winked at Lyke Zhekova.
She hinted that she had absolutely no intention of using Lyke Zhekova as a guinea pig.
This was all said to comfort her parents.
Lyke Zhekova curved the corner of his mouth to reassure her.
Peggy Lewis finally sighed a breath of relief.
Unexpectedly, returning home to her parents felt like being in a battlefield where she had to stay alert all the time.
“Let Cindy and I prepare for tonight.” Cindy Clarke said, “Every time I came over in the past, it was always prepared by you, Godmother.”
Cindy had long acknowledged Mr.
and Mrs.
Lewis as her godfather and godmother.
Even though she had been avoiding her parents for these years.
But the warmth of the home, on the contrary, was much more than before.
Every time Cindy came over, Mrs.
Lewis would feel sorry that her daily job was cooking.
Always soaking in the kitchen.
So, when Cindy comes over, she shouldn’t be soaking in the kitchen again.
Even a great interest can’t stand this daily routine, right?
It’s good to let her rest and take a breather.
So every time Cindy came over, Mrs.
Lewis forbade her from doing anything.
Only if Cindy had some new cuisine to let Mr.
and Mrs.
Lewis taste, would Mrs.
Lewis let her work in the kitchen.
“Today, let’s both of us daughters cook a meal for you.” Cindy said.
These words immediately moved Mrs.
Lewis to tears.
Mrs.
Lewis was touched, and her eyes were red.
“Alright.” Mrs.
Lewis nodded, agreeing to Cindy’s suggestion.
She would never have thought that she would gain another filial daughter in her old age.
Seeing that the timing was almost right, Peggy Lewis and Cindy Clarke went to the kitchen to prepare the ingredients.
Peggy Lewis was responsible for the few dishes she already knew how to prepare.
The rest was taken care of by Cindy.
Cindy checked the ingredients Mrs.
Lewis had bought and made a selection.
Cindy taught Peggy some simple yet delicious recipes.
One of them was Clam and Vermicelli Pot.
Although there was tinfoil in the house, there was no need to be so formal for home cooking, like in a restaurant.
So after consulting with Cindy, Peggy used a casserole instead, which also worked well.
First she soaked the vermicelli until it softened, then spread the enoki mushrooms evenly on the base layer of the casserole, followed by a second layer of vermicelli.
Lastly, clams that had been purged of sand were placed on the top layer.
She mixed bird’s eye chilli, minced garlic, and oyster sauce together, poured hot oil to make a sauce, and spread it over the clams.
Then she added doubanjiang and steamed fish soy sauce.
Since these seasonings were already salty enough, she didn’t add any more salt.
Then she just added water and simmered it over low heat, it was simple and quick.
Seeing that Mrs.
Lewis had bought a snapper, Cindy used it to make steamed fish.
