Shangguan Shui’er was at a loss for words.
A few minutes early?
Does that an getting to eat the first freshly cooked dish right away?
And the following dishes?
Will they be just as fresh?
Then the chef ends up being the last one to eat?
Even they have never experienced such treatnt.
But it’s true, most dishes are at their most delicious just out of the pan.
"Alright, we got it." Shangguan Shui’er said, sowhat speechless.
Isn’t this what moms are like?
After Shangguan Shui’er hung up the phone, Luofeng asked, "What is Aunt cooking today?"
"I don’t know, but you’ll find out soon, and it should be sothing you like," Shangguan Shui’er said and added jokingly, "Suddenly, I feel like she’s your mom, and Fei Er and I were both picked up."
Shangguan Feier chid in, "Exactly, exactly. When we co ho, she rarely cooks, let alone in this hotel style, serving one dish after another."
"Yes, when Fei Er and I co ho, we mostly cook for ourselves." Shangguan Shui’er complained.
"You guys can actually cook?" Luofeng appeared a bit surprised.
Shangguan Feier affird, "Of course, we can!"
Shangguan Shui’er agreed, "Is there a problem with cooking?"
Alright then.
Luofeng found cooking quite admirable.
Let’s add extra points for double happiness.
Soon, the Lamborghini drove into the Old Street. This luxury car seed a bit out of place here.
Luofeng parked by the roadside, about five yuan per hour.
After getting out, Luofeng and the Shangguan sisters headed towards the residential community and happened to et a middle-aged woman on the way, who joked, "Shangguan, bringing a boyfriend ho?"
Shangguan Shui’er responded playfully, "Yes, Aunt Li!"
Aunt Li nodded in acknowledgnt toward Luofeng.
No. 27 Culture Street.
Luofeng followed the Shangguan sisters up the stairs to the fourth floor, where Shangguan Shui’er knocked on the door.
"Coming, I’m coming." Liu Shanshan’s voice was heard the next second.
The soundproofing in old buildings was very poor.
Once the door was knocked, everyone in the house could hear it.
After opening the door, Liu Shanshan warmly greeted Luofeng, "Co on in, Luofeng!"
Shangguan Shui’er and Shangguan Feier both showed helpless expressions; were they really just bonus phone credits?
Luofeng imdiately handed over the Chow Tai Fook gift bag, "Aunt, I’m really sorry for dropping by for a al again and also troubling you to cook. This is a gift from so business partners looking to work with our company, so I thought I’d give it to you. I hope you don’t mind."
The Chow Tai Fook gift bag was easily recognizable, and Liu Shanshan knew it well.
Hearing Luofeng’s remarks, Liu Shanshan said politely, "Little Luo, it’s alright just coming for a al. We’re just casually entertaining at ho, no need to be so formal next ti."
Luofeng smiled as he said, "Since it’s all gifts from others, I’m just passing it on. By the way, is grandma here? I brought a gift for her too."
"She’s in the living room!" Liu Shanshan replied.
"Okay!" Luofeng nodded, changed into house slippers, and went into the living room, where he saw the Shangguan sisters’ grandma.
Luofeng greeted her, "Grandma, do you still rember ?"
Grandma was in good spirits, nodding, "You’re Shui’er girl’s boyfriend, Luofeng, right?"
"Yes, Grandma, thank you for the red envelope you gave last ti," Luofeng said. "I was in a rush last ti, so this ti I’m making up for it!"
After speaking, Luofeng handed over the gift bag.
Grandma took it and placed it directly on the coffee table, "Thank you, co sit and chat, watch TV with us. Xiao Yan is about to enter the palace."
Luofeng glanced at the television.
It was surprisingly Princess Pearl, a show older than him.
This show used to be quite popular back then.
But tis have changed.
The world views in the show are quite puzzling now.
And now it seems like Rong Mama isn’t the villain; the two princesses are?
Indeed, Rong Mama’s needle didn’t hit a single good person.
"Shui’er, Feier, the first dish is ready, co and bring it over while it’s hot, let little Luo have a taste," Liu Shanshan called from the kitchen.
The first dish.
It was, of course, twice-cooked pork.
Luofeng knew it was incredibly tasty straight from the pan.
Seeing this, even though there was no need for him to help, Luofeng still joined in to help with the dishes and cutlery.
This could earn him so extra points.
In the kitchen, Luofeng glanced around, even though only the first dish was ready.
All the ingredients were substantial.
Yu Xiang Rou Si.
Sweet and sour ribs.
And braised pork belly.
Although these were just ingredients, they were all pre-processed, which would save a lot of ti later.
When the third dish, braised pork with mushrooms, was served, Luofeng praised, "The aroma alone makes your mouth water!"
Judging by the sll, Luofeng knew Liu Shanshan had used dried mushrooms.
This is often used in noodle and rice noodle shops.
The aroma of dried mushrooms is better than fresh ones.
"This was slow-cooked over a low fla, for a whole ten hours, and the final reduction was done at the end, allowing the flavors to fully integrate," Liu Shanshan explained.
Luofeng naturally understood Liu Shanshan’s underlying ssage.
She was willing to spend so much ti cooking, which showed how important he was to her.
In this day and age, only people of enough importance would inspire soone to cook at ho.
"Thank you, Aunt, you worked hard! Your hands must be tired, right?" Luofeng said with a smile.
As soon as Luofeng finished speaking.
Liu Shanshan was stunned as she looked at Luofeng.
Luofeng hadn’t realized it yet.
But thinking back on his words, sothing seed off, didn’t it?
By the ti five or six hearty dishes were on the table.
Luofeng had tasted a bit of each dish multiple tis.
Indeed, they’re best straight out of the pan.
At the table, chef Liu Shanshan finally sat down.
"Aunt, eat more quickly, we’re almost full, and you haven’t even started yet," Luofeng proactively gave Liu Shanshan so at, earning a good feeling, "This braised pork belly is really delicious, not dry at all and not greasy."
"Aunt, honestly, I’ve changed my previous statent about your cooking skills; you’re better than so top chefs." Luofeng sincerely rated her seven out of ten tis he’s been here, feeling justified in upgrading his evaluation as the dishes tasted even better this ti, right?
"Thank you for your praise, little Luo, but I’m not that good, they’re just so hocooked dishes," Liu Shanshan modestly replied.
It was the first ti visiting the house.
No sufficient preparations at first.
Or rather, even though preparations were made.
But nothing compares to the effort put in this ti.
Cooking is all about the details, accumulate all the details, then the dishes would taste differently good or not?
"I really wasn’t exaggerating! They really are delicious!" said Luofeng, considering for a mont, "Aunt, have you ever thought about changing careers?"
