Uncovering My Wife's Secrets

Chapter 461

The weekend had arrived.

Preston did not go to the office.

He slept in at home.

and got up at 10 am to go to the kitchen.

The servants thought that he was looking for food and immediately told him, “Young Master, we’ve left breakfast for you.

Take a seat.

I’ll bring it out for you immediately.” “Ok.

Lotus, do you know how to cook crayfish?” Preston asked.

While he was lying in bed earlier, he was thinking about what Mina had said a few days ago.

If she was to find a partner, she would make sure to find someone who could prepare crayfish.

He had actually known Mina for a long time.

In the past, he had played with her when he was still foolish.

Later, when Annalise got married, she came to his rescue once again.

At that time, he was convinced that she was a good girl.

After that, they had meals together a few more times.

Every time he saw her, he would feel that she was different from other rich girls.

She was not as bossy as those other rich ladies and was instead really innocent and silly.

The more he interacted with her, the cuter he found her.

Perhaps influenced by Trevor and Lina, he suddenly wanted to learn how to cook crayfish.

Regardless of whether he future, he at least had to learn this skill first.

Lotus thought that Preston wanted to eat crayfish, so she nodded vigorously.

“I do.

Our village raises crayfish.

You may not know this, but every year, when our crayfish are released on the market, there’s always so much that no one can even finish it.

In the past, my family used to raise crayfish.

My family has many children, and they all loved to eat them.

They can eat more than six kilograms a day.

This thing tastes really good, and it’s delicious no matter how you cook it.

However, it’s difficult to clean them.

“Young Master, do you want to eat crayfish? Then, I’ll go buy some, and we can have them for lunch.” “I want to learn how to cook crayfish,” Preston said.

“Sure, that’s simple.

I’ll go buy it now.” Lotus was overjoyed.

As servants, they were the happiest when their family’s masters had something they liked to eat.

It was easier for them to prepare that way.

“Lotus, buy more.

I want to learn how to prepare all kinds of flavors,” Preston added.

“Okay,” Lotus agreed.

She took off her apron and went out to buy crayfish.

She told the driver to send her and happened to see Lucy accompanying Madam Blake back from her stroll.

Lucy was surprised.

“Lotus, we’re about to start preparing lunch.

Are you going out?” “Yes, to buy crayfish.” Lotus explained, “The young master suddenly wanted to learn how to prepare crayfish.” “Preparing crayfish?” Lucy was dumbfounded.

When Madam Blake heard that her grandson wanted to learn how to prepare crayfish, her wrinkled face was immediately filled with a smile.

This boy had finally grown up! She immediately urged the servant with a smile, “Hurry up, and buy more.” Cooking was not an easy skill to learn.

The ingredients bought were most likely not going to be enough.

“Yes,” the servant immediately replied and left.NôvelDrama.Org © content.

After lunch, Preston couldn’t wait to learn how to cook crayfish from Lotus.

Lotus had bought more than six kilograms of crayfish in the morning.

She asked Preston to wait for her while she washed a portion of them first.

Preston rolled up his sleeves.

“Lotus, I’ll wash them.

Teach me how to wash them.” Lotus said, “Young master, just let us do the rough work.” “I have to learn how to wash them,” Preston said.

If he ever got the chance to prepare crayfish for Mina, there was no way he could just find someone else to wash it so he could cook them! “But… Young master, crayfish are especially dirty.

They also have claws.

It’s very troublesome, time-consuming, and tiring.” Lotus always believed that her young master was someone who was fated to achieve great things.

As of now, he had already inherited Blake Corporation, and thus had a lot of work to do.

Hence, he shouldn’t waste his time on such a small matter.

However, Preston was very insistent.

“Just teach me.” “Alright.” Seeing that the young master insisted, Lotus could not disobey.

She began to teach Preston, “Young master, crayfish have shrimp pincers.

When we catch them, we have to be careful.

Grab their backs.

In this spot.

Look.” She grabbed the back of a crayfish with her left hand and twisted its head with her right hand.

With a simple twist of her hand, she broke off its head.

Preston could not see it clearly.

He asked, “Lotus, do I just pull this off directly?” “Yes, just twist it.

After we’re done, we’ll scrub it clean…” But before she could finish her instructions, Preston cried out in pain, “Ouch, ouch, it hurts…” Lotus immediately toward Preston.

The crayfish’s pincers clamped onto his hand, and he couldn’t shake them off no matter what he did.

Lotus was dumbfounded.

She couldn’t figure it out.

Why was he being pinched by the crayfish? She had just specifically said that he had to grab its back! “It hurts! Lotus help me Hiss the pincers of this thing are so hard.” Preston was extremely helpless.

He had just tried to pull the crayfish away, but there were hard spines on the pincers of this creature.

They were so sharp they had pierced into his fingers.

Lotus picked up a pair of scissors and cut off the crayfish’s pincers.

“Phew…” Since Preston’s fingers had been saved, he let out a breath of relief.

When he looked at his hand once again, his fingers were already bleeding.

Lotus said anxiously, “Young master, hurry up and wash your hands.

We’ll disinfect them, and wrap them with band-aids.” “It’s fine.

It’s just a small wound.

Don’t worry.

I’ll pay attention next time.

Lotus, please demonstrate it once more.

Do it slowly.

Let me see how you did it.” Preston humbly asked for advice.

Lotus did not dare to be careless anymore.

She slowly demonstrated to Preston each individual step, “Young master, look.

When you reach out, don’t touch the crayfish’s pincers.

Start from the top and grab the back of the crayfish.

Then, the other hand will grab its head like so.

With a simple twist, the shell will fall off.

Once the head is removed, the pincers won’t be able to pinch you anymore.

Let’s put it aside and wash them together later.” Preston was about to reach out to grab a crayfish when Lotus immediately stopped him.

“No, no, Young Master, don’t do it first.

I’ll get you some gloves.” “It won’t be as flexible if I wear gloves, right?” Preston asked.

Lotus answered, “No, no.

It’s the same even if you wear gloves.

I’m just used to not wearing them.” She immediately took a pair of gloves for Preston.

Preston put on the rubber gloves and instantly felt safe.

He reached out and grabbed a crayfish.

Then, as Lotus had done, he reached out and plucked off the crayfish’s head.

After successfully removing one, he immediately gained the confidence that he had the potential to cook delicious food.

He immediately grabbed another crayfish.

Then, the crayfish clamped down on his rubber gloves.

He could feel his fingers hurting even through them.

With his heart pounding in relief, he carefully pulled the crayfish off with his other hand and said, “Fortunately, it only pinched my gloves.” He said a little embarrassedly, “Lotus, can you get me another pair of gloves?” He felt that it might be safer to wear another layer.

Lotus said tactfully, “Young Master, why don’t I twist all the crayfish’s heads off? That way, you won’t be pinched.” “No, I have to learn it from the first step.” If he ever got the chance to cook for that girl, Mina,

in the future, wouldn’t that brat laugh at him if he tried to learn it at the last minute and got pinched by the crayfish? “Alright then.” Lotus had no choice but to take another pair of gloves to Preston.

Preston put on two layers of rubber gloves.

As expected, he was no longer afraid of being pinched.

At first, the crayfish would pinch his gloves from time to time.

However, he would be able to pull them off smoothly every time, and later on, his movements became more agile and smooth.

He immediately started humming a tune.

After twisting a bunch of crayfish heads off, his phone rang.

He took off his gloves and picked up the phone, only to see that it was a call from Mina Simmons…
