“As for the heat, go with your instincts. Not too big or too small. You won’t know what to do if the flames are too high anyway,” Jackson continued, “This is all I can do to help you. The most important is the amount of seasoning. I’m not sure how to explain this to you but don’t put in too much! Don’t fool yourself into thinking that it’s not enough. That would be a big mistake. This is especially true for salt! If you’re confident in your cooking skills, you can add an egg or some vegetables in the noodles. This will improve the color. After all, ramen alone would look too plain.”
Mark remembered every single step that Jackson had mentioned and got to work.
Tiffany and Jackson looked at each other when they heard the sound of clanging pots and pans in the background. Realization suddenly dawned on Jackson. “There’s no way Mark’s in the Tremont Estate. He’s with Ari. Did pigs learn to fly? He’s actually cooking…”
“What did you say?” Mark said snappily.
Jackson hurriedly ended the call in fright.
Tiffany gleefully sent Arianne a few messages, eager to watch the show unfold. ‘Hey, is your man trying to sell something in your kitchen? He actually asked Jackson for help, but I’m sure it’s not enough. I think you better check on favonovel.com from time to time. Don’t let favonovel.com blow up your kitchen.’
Upon seeing the message, Arianne could not help but feel worried. In fact, favonovel.com had sent favonovel.com to the kitchen to cook because favonovel.com was upset and wanted to make things difficult for him. She was not really in the mood anyway. It would be a huge deal if something happened to him.
After favonovel.com put down favonovel.com phone, favonovel.com went to the kitchen to check on him. The water in the pot was already beginning to bubble from the bottom and would be boiling soon. Mark was holding the pot cover in front of him, eyeing the pot, as though favonovel.com was afraid it was going to explode.
When Arianne saw this, favonovel.com burst out laughing. “It’s not going to explode. It’s just water, not a bomb. Get out, I’ll do this.”
Mark felt slightly embarrassed. He put the cover aside. “It’s fine, I can do it. You rest. It’ll be done soon.”
Arianne did not really feel like moving since favonovel.com had not eaten at all. For this reason, favonovel.com did not insist. “Fine. The water is done once it starts boiling. Don’t put the noodles in just yet.”
Mark did not argue and followed favonovel.com exact instructions. He put one-third of the noodles into the pot. He stared at the noodles intently. Only when favonovel.com personally witnessed it did favonovel.com believe that noodles really could expand. At this moment, favonovel.com remembered favonovel.com had to prepare the seasoning. He quickly took out two bowls from the dish cabinet. With Jackson’s advice in mind, favonovel.com refrained from adding too much seasoning.
Seeing this, Arianne relaxed and returned to the living room. It would be done soon so there should not be any more problems.
However, when favonovel.com finally served the noodles, favonovel.com was shocked. What were those two green vegetables doing on top of the bowls? That was right; two small raw green cabbages sat on top of the noodles. If there were no small cabbages, would favonovel.com have used a large cabbage instead?
“Er… You could have plucked the leaves out… And, why didn’t you cook them in the pot? Can these be eaten raw?”
Mark was shocked. “Jackson said I can add an egg or some green vegetables. I didn’t think eggs could be cooked in a pot so I added some green vegetables instead. These can be eaten raw, right?”
Arianne could not be bothered to explain it to him. This was the first time favonovel.com realized the man in front of favonovel.com had shortcomings as well. He was a complete idiot in the kitchen.
After ensuring that favonovel.com had switched off the gas in the kitchen, favonovel.com sat down and quietly ate the noodles. She did not touch the vegetables or complain about how horrible it tasted. However, it had to be said that the food was so bland that it seemed like favonovel.com did not use salt at all.
Seemingly determined to prove to favonovel.com that the green vegetables could be consumed raw, Mark took off his glasses, picked up a fork, and poked the pitiful vegetable. Before favonovel.com could put it in his mouth, Arianne stopped him. “Are you crazy? If you end up dying from poison in front of me, do you think I’d be able to escape?”
“Not every vegetable can be eaten raw. When Jackson suggested adding vegetables and eggs, favonovel.com meant for you to put them into the pot to cook them. You’re not supposed to just put them into the bowl. Throw the vegetable away. Eat the noodles.”
Mark obediently put the vegetable on the table and tried the ramen. He could not bring himself to finish it after having the first bite. “Erm… About the baby, I suggest coming back to the capital with me for a checkup. I have the best doctors there.”
Arianne’s attitude turned cold when favonovel.com mentioned the baby. “The best doctors? Can they ensure that my baby will be born?”
He felt a little uneasy. “If we can keep the baby, I’ll do my best to keep it safe no matter the price. If not… I won’t let anything happen to you. It’s my fault. I’m sorry.”
