My Wife is an Evil Dragon-Chapter 44

Chapter 44: Raising Pigs
Lucia’s short story quickly accumulated nearly 30 likes online.
Xia Li’s account was an old account that had written several short stories on the platform. Although it didn’t have many fans, it was still better than a brand new account with no traffic at all.
It was a pity that no one had commented yet, otherwise Xia Li would have wanted to read the comments to Lucia.
“Xia Li, will people talk on this?”
Lucia propped herself up on her arm, pushing her cheek against the computer screen.
Xia Li said that if the short story they posted was liked by many people, then these humans would leave messages on it.
But it had been two days, and Lucia hadn’t received any information yet.
“Not yet,”
Xia Li pushed the dragon head that was blocking the screen back.
“Don’t worry, all things are difficult before they are easy. This Record of Experiences has just started, and the first short story hasn’t even been finished… When the story and settings are perfected later, it will definitely accumulate a lot of readers.”
Xia Li’s tone was certain.
Apart from anything else, he still had some confidence in this Record of Experiences.
The fantasy novels written by others were all fictional worlds, but Xia Li’s was a real world, and the stories were also stories that had actually happened.
He had rigorous logic and a complete worldview.
Even if it was written poorly, it would still attract some setting enthusiasts.
What’s more, Lucia’s little adventure stories were very interesting in Xia Li’s opinion.
“Oh…”
Lucia was still a little nervous.
What if the humans in this world didn’t like her…
If it was Azure Continent, humans who didn’t like this dragon?
Hmph, burn them, burn them.
But on Earth…
It seemed that she could only swallow her anger and at most hide under the covers and bite Xia Li’s bed sheet fiercely.
“Don’t worry, trust me, from my ten years of experience, I like your story.”
Seeing the dragon’s uneasy expression, Xia Li tried to comfort her.
Lucia’s head, which was already buried, lowered even further.
It was subtle enough to be liked by humans.
Then to be liked by Xia Li…
Heh…hehehe…
It felt like a hero fighting a dragon, and the dragon winning.
Lucia couldn’t quite understand what kind of emotion “like” meant in human terms.
But every time these two words came out of Xia Li’s mouth, it always made her happy.
“I’m going to cook.”
It was getting late, Xia Li closed the webpage and went to the kitchen.
As soon as Lucia heard the word “food,” her dazed mind instantly cleared up.
Opening the refrigerator, Xia Li took stock of the vegetables he had bought two days ago.
If he didn’t eat the cabbage soon, it would go bad, so today he planned to make cabbage soup.
Because Lucia couldn’t eat spicy food, Xia Li automatically skipped the spicy and numbing Sichuan-style cooking methods ━ anyway, he didn’t know how to make those oily and spicy dishes.
“Cabbage soup, stir-fried mushrooms with meat…”
Xia Li held a pound of sweet potato in his hand and hesitated for a moment.
In the end, he decided to cut the sweet potato into pieces and steam it in the rice cooker with the rice.
Sweet potato was a good whole grain, a high-quality carbohydrate, it would be a shame to waste it.
“Eh? What did you throw in there?”
While Xia Li was in charge of cutting the vegetables, Lucia was cooking the rice.
But just as she was about to close the lid of the rice cooker, she saw Xia Li throw a few orange-red things into the rice cooker with a thud.
Lucia felt a pang of heartache.
This was her white rice!
“This is sweet potato, sweet potato can also be put in the rice cooker,” Xia Li explained.
“Oh…” Lucia nodded seriously.
◈◈◈
“Then it’s called an electric sweet potato pot now.”
“…”
Xia Li closed the electric sweet potato pot and reset the time.
Next was washing the cabbage, washing the mushrooms, and then cutting the pork into strips.
Xia Li was more accustomed to preparing all the ingredients and then stir-frying and cooking them together.
Lucia watched with interest behind him. Apart from feeling pain when Xia Li was dealing with live fish and scaling them, she didn’t feel anything about the other vegetables and meat.
“Cough, cough…”
When the cut pork was put into the hot oil, a pungent smell of smoke filled the kitchen.
Lucia was not used to this smell and coughed.
“Why don’t you go out first, the range hood is broken, I’ll find someone to fix it next time.”
“Cough…I’m not going out, I want to stay with you.”
Lucia didn’t want to move. She seemed to like watching Xia Li work.
Xia Li held the pot in one hand and the spatula in the other to stir it. When he had free time, he would glance at the boiling cabbage in the pot next to him.
Watching him bustling about, Lucia felt a little restless and wanted to help. She casually handed out the bottles and jars on the counter.
However, after Xia Li took those transparent small jars in his hand, he put them back in their original places. They were completely useless, making her seem a bit redundant here.
The dragon unhappily flicked her non-existent tail.
“Get a plate.”
“Oh!”
Finally, there was something she could do. Lucia hurriedly opened the cupboard and took out a stainless steel round plate.
She held the plate carefully, her face tense, even when she held the crown of the human kingdom, she had never been so cautious.
“Take it to the dining table.”
“Okay!”
Lucia took the plate and left, returning after a while.
This time she came to serve the rice.
Although she had been on Earth for several days, she hadn’t learned anything. The only housework she had mastered was washing dishes, but using a rice spoon to serve herself rice was one of the few skills Lucia had.
She filled her large rice bowl with a full bowl and then dug a few pieces of the block called sweet potato and firmly pressed them into the bottom of the bowl.
Lucia was like a bricklayer, pressing her rice bowl as solid as a brick.
She glanced at the almost empty rice cooker and then at Xia Li’s empty bowl.
Lucia thought about it and dug a spoonful of rice from her bowl and put it into Xia Li’s bowl.
Dragons were an extremely food-protective race. Xia Li, who was sprinkling chopped green onions into the cabbage soup, didn’t know the value of this spoonful of rice from Lucia.
Xia Li turned around with the soup bowl and saw Lucia standing on tiptoe, her whole head almost buried in the rice cooker.
“What are you doing?”
Xia Li thought to himself, the meal hadn’t even started yet, and the dragon was about to start licking the bowl?
However, when he saw the white rice spoon in Lucia’s hand, Xia Li knew he must have misunderstood her.
“One grain for you, one grain for me, that’s fairer.”
Lucia looked focused, dividing the last bit of rice she had just dug out equally between the two bowls.
Xia Li’s physique was bigger than hers now, so logically, his consumption should be greater.
If Xia Li was starved thin, he wouldn’t have the strength to cook for her…
Lucia still understood the principle of one full meal versus every meal being full.
“Stop it.”
Xia Li looked at his bowl, which was already piled up like a small hill, and couldn’t help but laugh.
“Even my mother has never given me so much rice… Are you raising pigs!”
