Chapter 1142: 304: Miss Song is here! _5 Chapter 1142: 304: Miss Song is here! _5 “Alright,” Viola Thompson responded as she accepted the object with both hands.
“We'll be off, then,” Prima added.
Viola nodded slightly. “Stay safe on the road.”
Once Prima had left, Viola returned home.
Because no one was notified in advance, the house was very quiet.
On a normal day, Mrs. Thompson might have been at home, but ever since she left, the Thompson Clan's house had become quite desolate.
“Miss is back!”
Seeing Viola return, the housekeeper rushed over excitedly. “Why didn't you let us know you were coming? I'll call Mr. Thompson and Mrs. Thompson right now.”
If they knew Viola was back, Sawyer Thompson and Mary Perryne would be absolutely thrilled.
“There's no need to notify them,” Viola continued, “Are my parents coming home for dinner tonight?”
“Yes, they are.”
Viola smiled slightly. “Then I'll trouble you to inform the kitchen staff to prepare some vegetables and meats and knock off work. I'll make dinner tonight!”
Having been away for so long, she had to offer her family a surprise.
It was a bit of a pity, though, that Mrs. Thompson wasn't here anymore.
The housekeeper nodded, smiling. “Alright miss, I'll arrange that immediately.”
The young miss is truly amazing!
Not only can she read, practice medicine, but also cook!
A pretty girl like Viola would surely make delicious meals!
Mr. and Mrs. Thompson are truly blessed!
The housekeeper added, “It just so happens that Mandel Thompson and Samual Thompson are both coming home for dinner tonight. They will undoubtedly be thrilled.”
With that, the housekeeper walked towards the kitchen.
The Thompson Clan employed eight chefs in total.
Hearing that Viola wanted to cook the meal herself, they were all surprised.
Daughters of wealthy families usually don't lift a finger.
They had seldom seen someone like Viola.
The head chef asked, “Did the young miss mention what dishes she needs prepared?”
The housekeeper replied, “Just some vegetables and meats will do. Both Mandel Thompson and Samual Thompson will be home tonight, so make sure there's plenty.”
“Alright.”
Viola went upstairs to freshen up, then headed to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
The housekeeper was a little worried. “Miss Viola, should I ask the head chef to stay and help you?”
“No need,” Viola declined promptly, “I can manage on my own. Let them go home early.”
The most exciting thing for a worker is getting off work early and returning home.
“Alright then,” the housekeeper nodded.
Soon, Viola began bustling around the kitchen.
All the vegetables were already washed and cut. She just needed to stir-fry them and add the seasoning.
To avoid making mistakes, Viola also had a cookbook on hand.
The first dish she prepared was braised fish.
Due to her lack of experience, she over-fried the fish a bit, but that did not affect its consumability. Following the instructions in the cookbook, Viola salted the fish, but inadvertently added a full spoonful.
Realizing it might be too salty, Viola immediately added a spoonful of white sugar. Seeing that one spoon of sugar might not be enough, she added two more.
This should offset the saltiness!
Soon, the braised fish was ready. But after plating it, Viola couldn't help feeling that something was off. The fish looked rather pale.
Oh!
She forgot to add soy sauce!
Slapping her forehead in realization, Viola quickly added some soy sauce to the dish.
Even raw soy sauce is edible, so this shouldn't be a major issue.
Next, Viola proceeded to make braised tofu, shrimp and vegetable soup, stir-fried green peppers and eggs…
Five people.
Five dishes and one soup should suffice.
After finishing cooking, Viola moved to the living room to await the return of her parents and brothers.
About ten or so minutes later, Sawyer Thompson and Mary Perryne arrived home.
Seeing Viola sitting on the sofa, the couple thought they were seeing things. “Viola!”
“Mom and Dad,” Viola stood up from the sofa.
“It's really Viola!” Mary Perryne walked over and embraced Viola, her emotions running high.
Soon after, Mandel and Samuel also arrived.
Both brothers were a little taken aback upon seeing Viola.
Samuel walked over and said, “Little sis, we just spoke last night. Why didn't you tell me you were coming home? I could have picked you up from the airport this afternoon.”
Sawyer gave Samuel a scornful look. “So if you were busy, you wouldn't pick up your little sister?”
“No no, that's not what I meant!” Samuel quickly clarified, smiling. “Your little sister came home… Even if it were raining knives, I'd still pick her up!”
Viola added, “Dad, Mom, my two elder brothers, let's have dinner. Everything's ready.”
Hearing this, the housekeeper quickly added, “Miss Viola went to the kitchen right after she came home. She has been there the entire afternoon!”
