Tycoon: I can see the goddess's wish list-Chapter 741 - 739: Thank You, Auntie—You Really Worked Hard, Your Hands Must Be Tired, Right?
Shangguan Shui’er was at a loss for words.
A few minutes early?
Does that mean 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 treatment.
But it’s true, most dishes are at their most delicious just out of the pan.
"Alright, we got it." Shangguan Shui’er said, somewhat 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 something 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 chimed in, "Exactly, exactly. When we come home, she rarely cooks, let alone in this hotel style, serving one dish after another."
"Yes, when Fei Er and I come home, we mostly cook for ourselves." Shangguan Shui’er complained.
"You guys can actually cook?" Luofeng appeared a bit surprised.
Shangguan Feier affirmed, "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 seemed 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 meet a middle-aged woman on the way, who joked, "Shangguan, bringing a boyfriend home?"
Shangguan Shui’er responded playfully, "Yes, Aunt Li!"
Aunt Li nodded in acknowledgment 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, "Come on in, Luofeng!" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
Shangguan Shui’er and Shangguan Feier both showed helpless expressions; were they really just bonus phone credits?
Luofeng immediately handed over the Chow Tai Fook gift bag, "Aunt, I’m really sorry for dropping by for a meal again and also troubling you to cook. This is a gift from some 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 meal. We’re just casually entertaining at home, no need to be so formal next time."
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 remember me?"
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 me last time," Luofeng said. "I was in a rush last time, so this time 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, come 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 times 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, come 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 some 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 time later.
When the third dish, braised pork with mushrooms, was served, Luofeng praised, "The aroma alone makes your mouth water!"
Judging by the smell, 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 flame, 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 message.
She was willing to spend so much time cooking, which showed how important he was to her.
In this day and age, only people of enough importance would inspire someone to cook at home.
"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, something seemed off, didn’t it?
By the time five or six hearty dishes were on the table.
Luofeng had tasted a bit of each dish multiple times.
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 some meat, 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 statement about your cooking skills; you’re better than some top chefs." Luofeng sincerely rated her seven out of ten times he’s been here, feeling justified in upgrading his evaluation as the dishes tasted even better this time, right?
"Thank you for your praise, little Luo, but I’m not that good, they’re just some homecooked dishes," Liu Shanshan modestly replied.
It was the first time visiting the house.
No sufficient preparations at first.
Or rather, even though preparations were made.
But nothing compares to the effort put in this time.
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 moment, "Aunt, have you ever thought about changing careers?"
