Madam Li's Identity Is Exposed Again!

Chapter 301: Chapter 301: A Bottle of Thirty-Eight Thousand Cooking Wine

Chi Enen didn’t know why, but she suddenly became nervous as she took the mobile phone and just put it to her ear. She heard an unpleasant voice saying, “Chi Enen, what are you dawdling for? Why haven’t you answered the phone for so long?”

Such inconsiderate, unromantic, and brusque manners could only belong to Li Beijue!

The little shyness Chi Enen had managed to muster was completely blown away by his shouting. She retorted speechlessly, “As soon as Butler Huo handed me the phone, I answered it. What do you mean by so long?”

“Stop with the nonsense! Get ready, I’ll have Huo Yi take you to the company.”

“Why should I go to the company? Didn’t you say you would help me take a leave of absence today?”

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds, followed by a man’s low growl through gritted teeth, “I want to see you, is that not allowed?!”

——I want to see you, is that not allowed?!

Chi Enen lowered her eyes, not even realizing that the corners of her mouth had involuntarily turned up.

“I’m hanging up.” Li Beijue hung up the phone hurriedly.

Chi Enen returned the phone to Huo Yi and asked politely, “Butler Huo, do we have any ingredients in the refrigerator? I’d like to prepare a lunch to take over.”

“Of course, Miss Chi. Just tell me what ingredients you need, and I’ll send someone to buy them right away.”

“No need for that trouble; I’ll make something with whatever is in the refrigerator.” Anyway, Beijue would definitely have a professional chef prepare his lunch at noon. If her cooking wasn’t good, he could still eat something else. “I’ll go have a look.”

“Alright.” Huo Yi led her to the kitchen.

Sure enough, it’s a mansion!

Even when no one lived there on a regular basis, the kitchen was kept neat and tidy, with bowls and kitchen utensils fully equipped. The 100 square meter space looked less like a kitchen and more like a luxurious kitchenware exhibition hall. On one side of the kitchen, there was a six-door, luxurious refrigerator. Huo Yi walked over swiftly and opened the door for her, saying with a smile, “Miss Chi, take a look, is this enough?”

Chi Enen was struck dumb by the dazzling array of ingredients in the refrigerator and nodded dryly, “Enough, that’s enough.”

A full refrigerator of ingredients, not just for one meal, but enough even for a banquet for dozens of people!

Huo Yi pulled open the freezer below, and fearing she wouldn’t know, told her, “Miss Chi, seafood and Matsutake mushrooms are kept inside here; feel free to take whatever you need.”

He then pointed to the wine rack on the other side of the kitchen and said, “Those are the cooking wines.”

Chi Enen finally got a glimpse of what the luxurious life of rich people was like.

Whose cooking wine rack has bottles of red wine worth over thirty thousand?!

She couldn’t help but think of the only pitiful bottle of white cooking wine in her own kitchen, and instantly felt a world of difference.

In fact, Chi Enen was mistaken. Li Beijue preferred Western food which often required red wine as a cooking ingredient. For example, foie gras with red wine—if the wine was of poor quality, it would affect the overall taste of the dish and waste both the top-tier foie gras and the chef’s skills.

She took a deep breath and calmed down.

She efficiently picked out pork ribs, rabbit, and chicken meat from the refrigerator.

Then she had Huo Yi help her wash the garlic, chili, potatoes, and other stuff. Tying on an apron neatly, she began to cook.

First, she cut the rabbit into small cubes, then followed the same procedure for the chicken, cutting it into pieces as well.

After blanching the pork ribs to remove any gamey smell, she put them into the casserole, added ginger and pepper, and began to stew them over high heat.
