There was a brother and a sister, Lee and Dev, who tried their best to learn to cook together while their parents went out of town for work. Well, overwork unfortunately. There was no food, so their parents told them before that they had to cook by themselves to avoid junk food. Simple reason, because they wanted their kids to stay healthy.
One day, Lee and Dev did food shopping at Walmart. They decided to cook fried chicken. They were too confused to choose the ingredients. In the end, they took them carelessly.
After arriving home, they arranged the ingredients. Dev tapped her forehead and yelled, “Bloody hell, we forgot to buy the salt! What on earth do we have to do?”
Lee just responded calmly, “We figure it out, okay? Don’t worry.”
They started to cook by looking at the recipe from Youtube. Dev kept complaining about the salt until she had to pee. Lee continued to cook, until it’s done.
She was suddenly quite surprised after she came back. The fried chicken was already served beautifully on the dining table. She ate it. Turns out, it was so delicious. Like the best ever, even McDonald’s already missed out.
“How did you make this so perfectly? I mean… the salt— how about the salt? This is just so perfect. You nailed it.” She praised him hard. Lee was smiling wryly while scratching the nape of the back of his neck.
“Lee, why don’t you eat it? Come on, this is salty. You know I love salty food, right?” she asked with a happy face and a little dancing.
“Dev… actually, I didn’t add the salt in the fried chicken…” said Lee finally. He seemed too shy to answer, but firstly he took a breath. Dev still waited for his next response.
“I wiped my sweaty forehead. It splashed in the frying pan, with the chicken.”
