Chapter 285: Cooking Class With Husband

It's true that clothes could accentuate a person's beauty, but for beautiful women, this theory simply didn't apply. No matter what kind of clothes they wore, they would still look beautiful. 

"Really pretty..." Ryan looked at Irina as the woman came down the stairs. Without saying anything, he hugged her and gave her a very long kiss.

Then, after the two of them finished kissing, they joined hands and walked out of the house. This action seemed to show the world that the most beautiful woman in the city of Avalerion had belonged to him.

Along the way, the two of them laughed and looked happy. When he saw some beggars on his way, Ryan even gave them 200 hundred thousand dollars without thinking. 

Before long, they had arrived at a modern market.

In this market, the vegetables, meat, and fish had their own areas. Not only that, the cleanliness of the product as well as the place it's stored in were very much maintained.

Many people shopped to prepare their lunch and dinner. After all, one of the many precious moments of a family was eating together. Especially dinner, a moment where the whole family gathered after a day of work or school. Nothing could beat a family smiling over a meal together.

Ryan looked around, it seemed like most of the people there were housewives and they were all pretty old. It seemed that no beautiful woman could become his prey this time.

Irina went to the vegetable area first. Looking around, she hesitated to decide what to buy. Seeing that doubt, the seller began to promote his goods to her. "How about these bean sprouts? You can sauté or cook it with beef. If you want to have children soon, this bean sprout is perfect for you,"

Irina smiled broadly. "Alright, I'll take these bean sprouts."

"For a wife as beautiful as you, you also have to take care of your skin so I recommend eating broccoli. They're good for skin, you know."

Irina's face blushed, she nodded her head. "Then I'll take the broccoli too."

"Then this pumpkin, you also have to take care of your bones from an early age so that later you don't bend down like a granny."

Irina nodded. "Okay, I'll also take the pump."

"Then for your husband, I suggest you buy him… .."

Ryan shook his head towards Irina, he really didn't understand why Irina easily believed that. On the other hand, he also admired how great the seller was. The middle aged woman was able to make up sweet words and emphasize that all her sales were for the sake of lasting the relationship.

Irina wasn't the one to be blamed in this, that woman's abilities were truly extraordinary!

After the seller successfully lured his wife into buying many of their vegetables,  Ryan had to carry two heavy plastic bags now.

The seller was happy when she saw the two, she then smiled at Irina. "Thank you for shopping here, I hope we can meet again,"

The two of them then left and headed for the fish.

"Welcome to our store, the fish are still fresh my boss!" 

"Ah! Beautiful sister over there, is there anything I can help you with? Take a look at the salmon first, it's really fresh!"

"This salmon looks delicious, I'll take this slice," Irina said.

Ryan looked confused, he then asked, "Why do you buy expensive fish? Why don't you just buy tuna? They're cheaper."

"But that's for you..." Irina turned at Ryan with a meaningful look. When she wanted to explain it, Irina couldn't help but feel embarrassed. Ryan was not sensitive enough to read her moves. Didn't they play too much yesterday and today too? Was his vitality not a problem?

Come to think of it, Ryan finally understood why Irina was trying to buy salmon. 

But after seeing the price comparison, Ryan said to her, "But you've never cooked salmon before."

"No problem, I'll look it up on the internet later," Irina said with a smile.

Hearing this, Ryan thought again. It looked like he would be used as an experiment  again by his wife. 

Remembering the taste of the omelette this morning, he couldn't imagine how the fish he was going to eat later would taste.

No, he didn't want to taste it anymore!

Ryan's head turned rapidly, but after a while, his eyes seemed to sparkle.

Since he couldn't shake Irina's enthusiasm for cooking, wouldn't it be better if he helped her secretly and monitor the taste of her cooking from close range? That way, he could eat calmly and not make Irina suspicious.

Ryan thought he's a genius, but he seemed to have forgotten that he couldn't cook either. However, at least he knew whether the fish was still raw or not. 

After taking the salmon pieces, the two of them headed for the meat area. There they bought some chicken, ribs and many others. 

Now that all that was left were the kitchen ingredients, Irina began to rummage through. Meanwhile, Ryan's hands were full of food ingredients.

After buying soy sauce, salt, and the likes, they finally went home by taxi because the luggage was too heavy.

Now that it was 12 o'clock in the noon, Irina's face was already looking excited. "Honey, I'll cook it first."

"Ah! Let me help you, you can't possibly cook all of this alone."

Ryan quickly offered his help, he couldn't let Irina cook alone anymore. If not, what kind of dark material would he eat for lunch later?

For the sake of his stomach and his wife's heart, Ryan must join in the cooking.

Irina nodded and put the ingredients in the kitchen. When they got ready to cook, Irina suddenly said to Ryan, "Wait a minute."

Irina then went up to her room and came down with a laptop.

Ryan stared at her looking confused. "Honey, why did you bring a laptop?"

Irina was looking embarrassed as she said, "I want to see ways to cut chicken."

"....."

Ryan sighed in his heart. His wife had never even cut a chicken before. It looked like this battle would go a long way.

After the video was over, they started getting ready.

For the vegetable dishes, Irina intended to make black pepper beef with bean sprouts. As for the broccoli, she wanted to make stir fry vegetables. As for the salmon, she wanted to make it into salmon spaghetti aglio olio. For meat, Irina intended to make grilled chicken and short ribs soup.

Of course, all of those dishes sounded good and tasted delicious but it all depended on how she'd prepare them.

First, Ryan and Irina must wash each ingredient first and separate each ingredient based on each dish. They would save the excess of each ingredient for a later date.

The vegetables had been washed and Irina was already wearing her apron, looking like a chef.

"Honey, heat the pot until it boils," Irina then took a chicken and about to cut it.

This was the first time she had cut a whole chicken. Therefore, she equipped herself by watching video tutorials on how to cut chicken properly beforehand. Irina was indeed a good learner, so before she did anything, she would definitely make preparations first.

However, this was the third time she had cooked in her life. When she held the knife, it was as if she was about to stab someone. She holds the knife by placing her index finger on the knife. In fact, this actually made the knife unstable and made the pieces slip everywhere. Another disadvantage was that it made the wrists sore from the pressure it had on the muscles and joints.

But the thing that scared Ryan the most was Irina's hand position which was wide open.

"Wait!" Ryan shouted.

"Hmm?" Irina looked confused.

"Honey, don't cut with your fingers wide open. What if you cut it later? Let me show you how it is done."

In order to avoid harm when cutting, we have to bend our fingers and make a claw on the hand holding vegetables or meat. This way, the wall of the knife would bump into the knuckles so that the tip of the finger wouldn't be cut off.

However, Ryan realized something when he held the knife.

"Honey, isn't this knife too small?"

The right tool in the cooking process would make the cooking process much easier. A sharp knife and the right type of knife would make the cutting process faster. The knife Irina used now was really small, not suitable for cutting whole chickens. The chicken she cut would fall apart and Irina would use up a long time.

"Honey, how about handing over this chicken to me? The water you asked for is already boiling and how about you prepare the short ribs soup?" 

Cooking short ribs soup shouldn't be that difficult because you just need to follow the existing recipe so there shouldn't be any significant problems for his wife.
