Sabrina couldn’t help but feel dazed for a moment. Nonetheless, she snapped out of it and approached Tessa with a smile. “Hi, Tessa.” “What brings you here today, Sabrina? Did something happen?” Tessa turned to her with a gentle look in her eyes..
Sabrina played with Gordon as she answered, “Nothing happened. I just miss Gordon, so I decided to visit him. By the way, do you have anything you would like to pass on to Timothy? I plan to visit him tomorrow.”
“I don’t think you’re really here to visit Gordon. What you said afterward is the main point,” Tessa pointed out, tossing her a mischievous look.
Despite her embarrassment, Sabrina didn’t deny it and smiled sweetly. They joked a little before she steered the conversation back, “A couple of days ago when I called Timothy, he said that. he’s craving the sweet pork ribs you make, and I’m here today hoping that you’ll prepare some so that I can bring it to him in a vacuum pack.”
“That’s not a problem. I’ll ask someone to prepare the ingredients now,’ she said and instructed Andrew to have the kitchen staff prepare the ingredients.
Later, she led Sabrina into the kitchen. When Sabrina saw how skillful Tessa was in cooking. she longed for the same for herself because she wanted to cook a meal for Timothy with her own hands. “Tessa, will you teach me how to cook the food that Timothy likes?” she requested, voicing out her intentions.
Naturally, Tessa readily agreed to her request, and when she saw that they still had a lot of time, she asked the kitchen staff to prepare another portion of the ingredients. “After cutting the ribs, soak them in cold water to get rid of the blood inside…” Tessa’s voice would echo in the kitchen from time to time as she guided Sabrina.
By right, with her detailed guidance, even a complete greenhorn who had never cooked anything before would at least come up with something decent. But as it turned out, Sabrina’s talent for cooking was the same as that of the moose. Tessa had already shown her the entire preparation and cooking process; she even personally watched her from the side. However, when she tasted the food, the tangy and sour taste deterred her from taking a second bite. Alas, when Tessa experienced yet another failed dish from Sabrina, Tessa decided to throw in the towel.
At the same time, she persuaded Sabrina to give up. “You don’t have to insist on cooking because Timothy can cook. Just let him cook for you in the future.”
Sabrina had a reluctant yet bullheaded look on her face as she thought, It’s one thing that Timothy can cook, but I would like to cook for him. However, since Tessa had already said that, she didn’t insist and silently decided that she would practice at home instead.
Tessa didn’t know what was cooking in Sabrina’s mind. Otherwise, she would definitely strongly advise against it. Nevertheless, she asked someone to vacuum pack the sweet pork ribs and a few other dishes before seeing Sabrina off.
Sabrina went into the kitchen to practice right after returning home. When Melina learned that she wanted to cook for Timothy, she was both worried and envious; worried because Sabrina had never cooked before, so she didn’t know whether her food would come close to being edible. On the other hand, she was envious that she, as Sabrina’s mother, had never eaten anything that she cooked.
The people who shared the same thoughts with her were Figario and Yaromir after they returned from work. Coincidentally, Sabrina finally managed to prepare some sweet pork ribs, and this time, it looked better than the one she made at Dynasty Gardens because it seemed to be a success in terms of looks, color, and aroma.
When Figario and Yaromir saw it, they immediately exclaimed, “Sabrina, you seldom step into the kitchen. Let us give it a taste before you pack it for Timothy.”
As Sabrina thought that they had a point, she hurriedly grabbed three forks from the kitchen. “Everyone, give it a taste and tell me how it is,” she said, handing out the forks.
The three of them didn’t hold back, and each popped a piece of meat into their mouths. After that, the muscles on their faces turned stiff almost immediately because there was an inexplicably odd taste to the pork ribs-a hint of bitterness could be found with a tang of sourness. Of course, it didn’t help that there was also a little astringent aftertaste.
Sabrina was ignorant of all that as she gazed at them expectantly. When Figario and the others were faced with such a fervent and passionate gaze, they could only robotically chew the food as they tried to brainwash themselves..
