Chapter 550: Chapter 550: He Cooks Personally
“If you still want a bright future with Shen Heyu, you’d better listen to and earnestly find out where her senior sister is hiding. This is our last chance.”
“Although it’s extrely difficult to find an antidote for that kind of poison, don’t forget that Pei Yansi and Gu Siyu are on their side, and their family is still very powerful. What if they really do find the herbs and actually manage to make the antidote?”
Lu Yi really didn’t want to do this. It was far too risky, but Chen Wenzhou’s words had woken him up. He had given up all his wealth just for a chance to get an antidote.
If they could easily co up with the antidote like that, wouldn’t all his efforts be in vain, gaining nothing? He’d not only have lost all his money but also not gotten Shen Heyu.
Of course, he couldn’t continue with such a losing deal. After much consideration, he had no other choice but to clench his fist and forcefully punch the armrest, finally agreeing.
“Fine. I agree to this, but if I help you find the whereabouts of her senior sister, you’d better return all the company shares I gave you.”
“No problem.”
Chen Wenzhou agreed readily. After he consented, Lu Yi stood up and left the Chen Family ho. He returned to his own residence, where three chefs had prepared a table full of dishes. Looking at the flavorful als, he felt that Pei Yansi was bound to lose.
After packing the food, he took those plans and headed to the hospital. This ti, he and Pei Yansi bumped into each other at Yuexue’s ward door, as if enemies were destined to et on a narrow road.
When the two of them made eye contact, sparks seed to crackle in the air.
They pushed open the door and entered the ward together. Yuexue saw them walk in with scowls and promptly sat herself on the sofa.
“Before we start, let remind you of what I said yesterday. If you get eliminated, don’t bother Mommy anymore.”
Lu Yi was very confident in the als he had brought. He gestured politely, which was quite humble of him, “After all, you are Yuexue’s biological father, so why don’t you present your dishes first? I’m curious to see what culinary delights soone who never steps into the kitchen can co up with.”
Pei Yansi ignored his sarcastic remark. He opened the insulated container, and the dishes he brought were rather hoy.
“This is tomato and egg stir-fry, chili pork, and stead beef that I made myself.”
No sooner had Pei Yansi taken out his dishes than a burst of laughter ca from behind. Lu Yi couldn’t stop laughing at the sight of the food.
“Co on, you’ve got the nerve to bring that out? Look at your tomato and egg stir-fry, it’s so mushy I can’t even distinguish the eggs.”
“And this chili pork, look at your chili cut like that, you’ve even managed to brown the chili. How good could it possibly taste?”
“The only decent dish among your three seems to be the stead beef. But this Zhenla Beef is just sheer laziness, you just need to cut it and start steaming.”
“Wait, don’t tell you also made this rice. Doesn’t the rice seem a bit undercooked? If you can’t even properly steam rice, how could you have the nerve to compete today? If I were you, I’d just forfeit to save myself the embarrassnt.”
“Do you realize that your presence here today could very well cast a psychological shadow over Yuexue, letting her know how incompetent her father is, not even able to cook, since you don’t have the skill, you shouldn’t take on such a delicate task.”
“I thought after your firm commitnt to compete in cooking with yesterday, you would bring so kind of delicacy today, but this is all you’ve got? I advise Yuexue not to eat it, to avoid food poisoning.”
Yuexue looked indifferently at the three extrely ordinary dishes placed before her, then lifted her gaze to Pei Yansi, and indeed she was truly moved by Pei Yansi’s sincerity.”
“It’s obvious that you cooked these yourself, so I’ll just try them out and see how they taste,” Yuexue picked up her chopsticks to grab so tomato scrambled eggs, while Lu Yi, a bit anxious, tried to stop her.
“Yuexue, don’t bother eating what he cooked. Just look at this dish, you can tell the flavor won’t be up to much. You’ve been pampered from a young age, only the best for you. You surely won’t be used to what he’s made himself, better wait and have the al I’ve prepared for you later, I guarantee it’ll taste great.”
Yuexue paid no attention to what he said, first trying the tomato scrambled eggs, then peering up at Pei Yansi, “Seems like there’s a bit too much salt.”
“Is that so? Seems your taste corresponds to what I rembered.”
Yuexue took another taste, this ti of the stir-fried pork with chili, “The salt in the stir-fried pork with chili is just right, but the dish is too spicy for , I don’t really like it.”
“So your taste tends toward the mild, I haven’t understood you, or Shen Heyu, well enough before. I will definitely rember your preferences from now on.”
Yuexue then started to try the stead beef, which didn’t leave much to comnt on – it was simply beef stead as it was.
“This stead beef is a bit different from regular cured beef, it tastes very fragrant.”
“That’s because I added a special sauce to it, which makes it different from the usual stead cured beef.”
“I see,” Yuexue nodded.
Then, she picked up a bite of rice. Barely managing to chew a small bit, she couldn’t help but frown before swallowing with difficulty.
“What’s wrong?”
“Isn’t this rice undercooked?”
“Let try.” Pei Yansi took a chopstick’s worth of rice and put it in his mouth. After two chews, he frowned, “Indeed, it’s not cooked through.”
“Pei Yansi, you’ve lost. Look at these dishes you made; even the beggars on the street might refuse your charity. If I were you, I wouldn’t have agreed to compete today, only to bring sha upon myself. Did you think you could change the outco? You can’t change a thing.”
Hearing Lu Yi’s words, Yuexue looked up at him seriously, “But I haven’t even tried your dishes yet, how can you be so sure he’s lost? I don’t think it’s that certain.”
“What’s uncertain about it? You know what my cooking is like. Let’s make Pei Yansi admit his loss fully then, co take a look at my dishes.”
