Raising You This Small Stuff

Chapter 18.1 Red wine with steak, a little wine bag!

The manager was slightly surprised, but her professionalism made her remain decent as she said, “Alright, Mr. Mo please wait for a while.”

Anytime Yuan Suo watched a movie, every time he saw a protagonist eating steak in a Western restaurant, he would gulp. There were two times when he even unconsciously put his fingertips in his mouth, but when Mo Yi Cheng asked he mumbled, not admitting it.

Hence Mo Yi Cheng had long wanted to make some for to him to try but had been afraid that the instant steak sold in the store wasn’t hygienic enough, so he didn’t take any action. But now that he could take pictures and transmit items, then he had to give the little thing a taste of the most authentic steak as soon as possible.

Mo Yi Cheng arrived at the restaurant a little earlier, the school bus hadn’t yet departed from the school.

He thought about what Yuan Suo’s reaction would be when he ate the steak, he would probably… still say that it wasn’t as good as the one he made. The movie emperor was a little narcissistic inside, but he also wanted to verify whether his craftsmanship was really that good. There was no one around… and Du Du’s apartment also happened to be vacant at the moment.

He raised his eyebrows and clicked on the [cooking] column.

He followed the usual steps skillfully and made the stir-fried shrimp with celery that Yuan Suo liked so much which was light, healthy and nutritious.

The ingredients used were all high-quality goods bought from the supermarket, and all the relevant processes had been taught by famous chefs.

Usually Mo Yi Cheng would buy live shrimp for this dish, and then in accordance with the instructions, remove the head and tail of the shrimp, shell it, gut it carefully, and then prepare the variety of marinades required. Today, however, since he didn’t have to give it to Yuan Suo to eat, he simply bought frozen shrimp, sliced the ​​celery, put the oil on low heat, put the garlic inside to bring out the scent, put the shrimp and celery inside and stir fried it together.

Once the dish was out of the pan, he clicked to take it out.

[System message: Player is taking out a plate of homemade stir fried shrimp with celery from the game, which will consume 20 gold coins].

He clicked yes.

A plate of steaming stir fried shrimp with celery appeared on the table out of thin air.

Mo Yi Cheng was satisfied as he looked at it. The scent was fragrant and fresh, and the appearance wasn’t bad.

Not having chopsticks, he could only fork a piece of celery with shrimp and put it in his mouth. The celery was crisp, but the shrimp was thick and the texture wasn’t smooth enough. Overall, the taste was okay, but only average. The chefs in the Mo family were only just at this level.

He put the fork down, pushed the dish to the side and decided that when he sent over the menu in the future, he would ask them to use the ingredients for the side dishes precisely to two decimal places.

A crowd of chefs: “….”

There were only two people who sat in school bus at noon, Yuan Suo and a small red-haired boy. The boy was kind enough to help him get off the bus. After saying thank you, Yuan Suo rushed home.

As soon as he entered the house, he smelled the fragrance of his favorite dish — stir fried shrimp with celery, making his mouth water, then he saw Mo Yi Cheng waiting for him in a beautiful place with candles lit. He didn’t know why his heart suddenly started to beat very fast.

He greeted, “Mo Yi Cheng, I’m back.”

Mo Yi Cheng nodded: “Hmm, put your school bag down first, it’s heavy.”

Yuan Suo put his school bag down, his nose twitching twice. He smiled happily as he asked “Mo Yi Cheng are we going to eat stir fried shrimp with celery today?”

Mo Yi Cheng froze for a moment. He thought it would be a secret, but he had forgotten that the stir-fried dish would leave a scent behind. He pushed the plate on the table a little further away, “We’re not eating stir fried shrimp with celery today.”

“Then what are we eating?”

Mo Yi Cheng felt helpless. This little thing only thought about eating all day long. Converging his smile, he asked: “Tell me first, how was your performance at school today?”

Yuan Suo immediately became serious. With his two small hands pressing his trousers, he stood properly, “Today, the teacher talked about the basic qualities of actors, the core theory of acting, and also asked us to improvise a small performance.”

Mo Yi Cheng became interested, “What did you do?”

“I acted as the little radish.” It was the little protagonist of ‘The Sixth Day of Monsters’. Yuan Suo’s face blossomed into a smile, “The teacher said I acted very well, and said that I have a talent for acting.” He was a bit embarrassed as he said the latter part, but he wanted to tell Mo Yi Cheng this happy news, as if in this way he would be able to get closer to Mo Yi Cheng.

Mo Yi Cheng, “You’re very awesome. In the future, if you want to find someone to act with, you have a suitable candidate right here.”

Yuan Suo was delighted, asking: “Really?”

“En.”

“Then I will definitely study hard!”

“Good, then to reward you for working hard at school today, we will have steak for lunch.”

As soon as Mo Yi Cheng’s words fell, Yuan Suo’s stomach growled twice.

Yuan Suo was a little embarrassed: “I… I… ” It turns out Mo Yi Cheng had always known that he was greedy for steak…

“Alright, go and wash your hands.”

Chapter 18.2 Red wine with steak, a little wine bag!

Yuan Suo ran to wash his hands excitedly and when he returned, he went straight to the dining room, pulled out a chair and sat down at the table properly, not forgetting to spread a napkin in front of him.

Seeing him eager to try it, Mo Yi Cheng called for them to serve the meal.

Salads, black tea and desserts were served first as appetizers.

Mo Yi Cheng directly ordered two servings of Kobe steak, but since he didn’t like the foie gras and lobster, he ordered only one.

After the waiter left with a puzzled but forcefully calm expression on his face, he asked one of his colleagues, “Why does the room smell like fried shrimp with celery?”

There was only one person in there.

Mo Yi Cheng took pictures of the food one by one and transferred it to his phone, placing a candlestick and flowers on the top of Yuan Suo’s small table as well as he did so.

Yuan Suo looked on as a dazzling array of fragrant foods constantly appeared on the table, his index fingers twitching slightly. Facing the candlestick and flowers, he fondled them admiringly, unable to put them down, his cheeks flushed under the candlelight.

“Eat.” Mo Yi Cheng saw that he wasn’t moving and knew that he was waiting for him.

Yuan Suo dived right into it and following Mo Yi Cheng’s example, cut the steak quickly and stuffed it into his mouth.

“Mmm!” Yuan Suo’s eyes lit up as if there were little stars in them, the melt-in-your-mouth steak making him to let out a sigh of admiration.

Mo Yi Cheng asked, “Is it delicious?”

“It’s delicious, very delicious. This is the first time I’ve ever eaten steak.”

Mo Yi Cheng, “Then eat more.”

“En.”

Yuan Suo ate until he was half full then slowed down his speed. When he raised his head and saw Mo Yi Cheng drinking red wine, he stared curiously.

Mo Yi Cheng smiled and asked, “What, want to try it?”

Yuan Suo was taken aback, then shook his head, but the little tongue that stretched out to lick his lips betrayed him.

“Only a little taste.” Mo Yi Cheng drank till there was only a little at the bottom of the glass, then took a photo of it and transmitted it.

Yuan Suo looked at the extra red wine on the table, leaned forward cautiously, and sniffed it first with his nose… it was full of a light aroma. Knowing that Mo Yi Cheng was staring at him, he picked the glass in embarrassment and in a slightly awkward manner aligned the mouth of the glass to his lips, tilting it slowly.

He had finally tasted it… It was soft, smooth, velvety, mellow and sweet. After taking a shallow sip, he seemed to have tasted a certain sweetness, drinking the rest.

“How was it?” Mo Yi Cheng look at Yuan Suo’s unfulfilled look and said to himself secretly, he didn’t expect that this little thing was a little wine bag.

“Um…” Yuan Suo blushed, then smiled: “It was delicious!”

Mo Yi Cheng, “Eat something, otherwise it will go to your head later on.”

“What do you mean by it will go to my head?” He put a piece of steak inside his mouth obediently, but his big eyes were still staring at the wine glass in Mo Yi Cheng’s hand. Mo Yi Cheng simply said directly: “You’re not allowed to drink again today, if you like it, next time.”

“….. Okay.” Yuan Suo lowered his head regretfully and continued to eat.

After the two of them finished eating the steak, Yuan Suo put the rest in his small kitchen, deciding not to waste it. He could eat it after warming it up.

Mo Yi Cheng felt helpless, but he didn’t stop him. Although he was rich, he enjoyed the little thing’s cute look as he calculated carefully in order to save him money.

“You just finished eating, don’t sit down, go and change out of your school uniform, I’ll take you to see a movie later.” Mo Yi Cheng had a rare vacation, so he wanted to make good use of it.

Yuan Suo changed out of his clothes obediently, and because he was going to “go out”, he didn’t change into his pajamas. Instead, he chose a set of camouflage-style casual outfit from his closet that would allow him to move around freely in the living room as he walked off the food.

As Mo Yi Cheng called Chen Jiao to ask him if the movie was ready, his gaze swept intentionally or intentionally to Yuan Suo who was changing out of his school uniform in the bathroom. Suddenly, his gaze stopped on his back.

There was a bluish purple on his back, and because of his fair skin, it looked particularly hideous and terrifying. There were also traces of scraped skin around his chubby wrist…
