In the evening, Shen Feng planned to cook dinner for his parents himself, and he suggested going to the market to buy groceries.
Tang Kexin was very familiar with Nanming County and knew there was a market nearby, so she and Shen Feng walked there together.
The market was quite large.
Shen Feng rembered his father loved at while his mother preferred fish, so he intended to use Immortal Flavor Liquid to cook so ho-style dishes. For their reunion's first dinner, it had to have the taste of ho.
Tang Kexin hesitated before asking, "Shen Feng, are you really going to cook yourself?"
Seeing Shen Feng nod nonchalantly, Tang Kexin sighed softly. She knew a lot about her "brother" from what Shen Anmin and Zhang Xuezheng had told her.
She recalled sothing Zhang Xuezheng once ntioned about Shen Feng.
Back when Shen Feng had just gotten into college, before he went to register, he insisted on cooking a al himself. However, the dishes he made were either burnt or lacking so seasoning. Despite that, Shen Anmin and Zhang Xuezheng ate everything cleanly. Many years later, when they recalled that al, smiles graced their lips.
After Shen Feng picked a rack of ribs at a at stall, he realized he only had a bank card, and the market did not accept card paynts.
Noticing Shen Feng's frown, Tang Kexin imdiately had an idea and asked, "How much is it, boss?"
"Thirty-five," the boss replied.
Tang Kexin, who worked part-ti during her free ti at school, had a little over five hundred on her, so she paid and said, "Shen Feng, let's go buy the other groceries!"
Shen Feng explained, "I only have a bank card on , I will pay you back after I withdraw so money."
Tang Kexin pretended to be annoyed, "Shen Feng, don't you think of as family? Do family mbers need to be so formal with each other?"
Tang Kexin knew that Shen Feng might not have any cash on him, and all the talk about the bank card was probably just an excuse. She didn't want to wound his pride any further, after listening to Shen Anmin and Zhang Xuezheng talk about Shen Feng for so long, she had co to see him as a brother who lived with her.
This was also the reason why she applied to Tianhai dical University, why she wouldn't allow others to slander Shen Feng, and why she wanted to stand up for this "brother" of hers.
Shen Feng patted Tang Kexin on the head and unexpectedly smiled, "Okay, Kexin, it's my fault."
He could feel the care his "sister" had for him, how she had been striving for her unseen "brother." This sentint truly moved him.
At his words, Tang Kexin's smile returned and she pulled Shen Feng along to buy the rest of the groceries.
They bought a yellow croaker, a chicken, and so vegetables.
Once they'd bought all the groceries they needed, Shen Feng and Tang Kexin headed ho. Along the way, Tang Kexin did most of the talking, believing Shen Feng was silent because of the past traumas, not knowing that this was a trait he developed in the Immortal Realm.
On their way back, they were delayed and it was nearly four o'clock.
"Feng, Kexin, you're back!" Zhang Xuezheng said with a smile as she stood up. The more she looked at Shen Feng and Tang Kexin, the more she thought they were a good match.
Shen Feng said, "Mom and dad, I'm going to make dinner, just wait outside for a while."
Zhang Xuezheng tried to take the groceries from Shen Feng's hands, "Feng, let mom help you."
Tang Kexin also said, "Shen Feng, let help too."
Shen Feng firmly refused, "I want to make this evening's al by myself. For the past three years, I haven't done what a son should do, and I've caused you both sadness."
Shen Anmin patted Zhang Xuezheng's shoulder and said, "Let Feng do it! You know how stubborn he can be. We can just wait and eat tonight."
Zhang Xuezheng sniffled, her eyes reddening a bit again, "Kexin, let your brother do it. We'll wait outside."
Shen Feng walked into the kitchen with ingredients in his hand. For him, dealing with these ingredients wasn't a difficult task at all! He rembered that the first ti he entered the Primitive Mountain Range in the Immortal Realm for training, he encountered Monster Beasts everywhere—he had to eat those monsters, which were much more difficult to handle than the ingredients on Earth.
Zhang Xuezheng watched Shen Feng busily cooking in the kitchen and whispered, "No matter how Feng's cooking tastes, we have to eat it all up."
Tang Kexin said, "Mom, don't worry, I will definitely show appreciation for Brother Shen Feng's cooking. I actually wanted to cook a couple of dishes for Brother Shen Feng myself!"
Shen Anmin shook his head and said, "Kexin, if you also cook a couple of dishes, that would be discouraging for Feng. Your cooking skills have been improving, and you're almost better than your mom now."
Zhang Xuezheng nodded in agreent, "That's right! We can't have comparisons. Feng has just co back. We need to give him confidence in every way, starting with the food he cooks. We need to make him stand tall and proud again, so you have to act like the food is delicious."
Tang Kexin laughed, "Mom, that's not a problem for , but Dad's acting skills have always been terrible."
Zhang Xuezheng glared at Shen Anmin. She knew her husband was a typical honest farr, and said, "I won't make it difficult for you. For the sake of our son, do your best!"
As ti slowly passed.
After Shen Feng had prepared the ingredients, he began to cook and make rice. While cooking each dish, besides adding the necessary seasoning, he dripped in a drop of Immortal Flavor Liquid, carrying two bottles of it on him at all tis! Read new chapters at empire
Just as before, after adding the Immortal Flavor Liquid, he activated it with the Emperor King Jue.
Immortal Flavor Liquid could elicit the purest taste of the ingredients and, in a way, these seasonings were also a kind of ingredient.
To make sweet and sour pork ribs and braised yellow croaker, one must add sugar and soy sauce, among others.
Besides eliciting the purest taste, Immortal Flavor Liquid also perfectly fused the various ingredients.
The stronger the Cultivation Technique, the more thoroughly the Immortal Flavor Liquid could be activated, so the dish Shen Feng made was absolutely the finest of delicacies.
All sorts of different aromas began to spread in the air, and upon slling them, Tang Kexin couldn't help but swallow her saliva and murmured, "How can it be so fragrant?"
Not long after Tang Kexin's words fell.
Shen Feng brought out dish after dish.
Sweet and sour pork ribs, braised yellow croaker, stead chicken, stir-fried greens, and so on—all simple ho-cooked dishes. Lastly, he brought out five bowls of rice.
In the rice, he had also dripped Immortal Flavor Liquid, which could bring out the most authentic taste of the rice vividly.
Everything looked appealing.
Shen Anmin was the first to grab a bowl and pick up his chopsticks. Not in a rush to help himself to the dishes, he was accustod to having a bite of rice before anything else.
After he had a mouthful of rice, his expression beca wonderfully animated, and he blurted out, "This is so delicious, truly too delicious. I've never had rice this tasty before."
Zhang Xuezheng and Tang Kexin were stunned by Shen Anmin's sudden outburst.
It was just a bowl of rice!
Shen Anmin's acting was over the top today! But it seed like he misplaced his enthusiasm—at least he should have tasted a dish before giving such high praise!
