Chapter 1089: Chapter 1094: Su Zi’s Cooking Skills
Unlike Su Zi, Ning Aoxue, Xue Qingyi, and Xu Jing are more reserved. Importantly, here at the Su Family, the women are more mindful of their behavior, which intensifies their grievances.
Lin Feng can clearly see the smile in Xue Qingyi’s eyes, which carries a hint of fierce determination, and unwittingly feels a chill on his neck. He knows Xue Qingyi won’t be keeping to herself tonight...
As for Ning Aoxue, she has always been indifferent and tolerant before Su Zi; her feelings for Lin Feng have habitually been buried, now deeper than ever, with an expression as calm as a nun’s.
Xu Jing, being a teacher, couldn’t possibly get too cozy with Lin Feng, so she watched Su Zi display affection toward him, sitting there with nothing to do.
"Ahem, so ... have you all eaten dinner?" Sensing the invisible resentment of the three women, Lin Feng awkwardly smiled and casually switched topics.
"We’ve eaten, no need to worry!" Xu Jing shook her head listlessly and went straight to her room. Being a teacher, she couldn’t get too close to Lin Feng in front of Ning Aoxue and Su Zi, so she tried to keep herself out of sight.
Ning Aoxue and Xue Qingyi also nodded, indicating they had eaten dinner.
Only Su Zi, smiling happily, dragged Lin Feng by the hand and softly said, "Just now, when you called back and said you were fine, they relaxed and had dinner together ... Lin Feng, if you haven’t eaten yet, I’ll accompany you to grab a bite!"
Lin Feng nodded, and was eagerly pulled by Su Zi towards the dining room.
Upon reaching the dining room, Lin Feng found that Su Zi had thoughtfully kept the dishes warm in a steamer.
"You sit for a bit, watch me serve the dishes!" Su Zi mischievously smiled at Lin Feng and said coquettishly.
Following Su Zi’s directions, Lin Feng sat obediently, waiting for Miss Su to bring each dish in front of him...
Watching Su Zi hustle and bustle, Lin Feng felt moved—this was Chancellor Su’s daughter, a true princess of China, yet she cooked for him, the feeling was akin to conquering the world!
Soon, Su Zi placed several well-prepared dishes in front of Lin Feng, each with a big bowl containing rice and soup placed before him.
"Knowing you’re lazy, I specifically filled big bowls so you won’t have to make multiple trips!" Su Zi spoke to Lin Feng with a cheerful smile.
"Thank you..." Lin Feng replied with a wry smile, expressing his gratitude.
"Stop being so polite with me!" Su Zi shook her head with a smile, "Everyone knows you, Lin Feng, are a rough guy—it’s useless pretending otherwise now!"
"Uh..." Lin Feng froze slightly; he understood Su Zi was referring to his behavior back in Jiangzhou, where he was indeed rough with Su Zi—who acted like a wild child and deliberately provoked him!
Anyway, back then, didn’t Su Zi seem to enjoy herself?
However, since moving to Beijing, Su Zi had indeed changed—she became more poised and adhered to etiquette, and more importantly, she became very considerate...
These are qualities a man can hardly resist.
During the meal, Su Zi’s beautiful eyes occasionally gazed blankly at Lin Feng’s face, her pretty face sometimes showing a baffling silly smile, leaving Lin Feng quite puzzled...
"Su Zi, why are you grinning? Is there something on my face?" After eating a few bites, Lin Feng couldn’t help but wipe his face but found nothing unusual, and looked at Su Zi with confusion.
"No, I’m just very happy... Lin Feng, you know most of tonight’s food was made by me!" Su Zi leaned half over the table, speaking with a happy smile, while her chest pressed against the table, causing her clothes to stretch.
From Lin Feng’s perspective, he was momentarily captivated by Su Zi’s fullness... although she couldn’t compare to Ning Aoxue’s abundance, she certainly surpassed many girls her age; most girls couldn’t achieve such presence!
"Oh, tell me which dishes you made." Lin Feng, with interest, glanced at Su Zi while eating and asked, laughing, as he found the food surprisingly tasty, doubting Su Zi’s culinary skills.
"Look, I sliced the beef—my knife skills are pretty good, right? I washed the veggies—aren’t they clean enough? And these shrimp—I drowned them, that’s why they taste so good when fried..." Su Zi raised her pretty face a bit and pointed to the dishes on the table, speaking earnestly to Lin Feng with joy.
Lin Feng was dumbfounded—so cutting meat, washing vegetables, and drowning shrimp now count as cooking? Su Zi really has a thick skin...
"Cough, cough..." Lin Feng lightly coughed twice, couldn’t help but take a gulp of thick soup, then looked at Su Zi with a bit of surprise and asked smilingly, "Is there any dish that you completed entirely by yourself?"
"I cooked the rice!" Su Zi replied enthusiastically to Lin Feng.
Lin Feng glanced at the automatic rice cooker and nodded—it seemed the rice cooker was the most reliable.
Then Lin Feng shoveled another bite of rice, suddenly his teeth hit a large rock like a bean, almost cracking his tooth...
"Pfft!" Lin Feng spit out a black bean-sized stone, looking speechlessly at Su Zi, "Miss Su Zi, don’t you rinse the rice when cooking?"
"What’s rinsing rice?" Su Zi curiously glanced at Lin Feng, clearly unaware of what rinsing rice means.
When there’re sands and stones with rice, rinsing rice is the process of removing these grains...Of course, China’s rice shelling technology is now highly advanced and generally rice doesn’t contain stones, so rinsing rice is a rather distant concept for many young people.
Lin Feng, who often encountered contaminated rice amid fierce combat on the battlefield, was quite familiar with the "rice rinsing" process...
Pointing at the stone on the table, Lin Feng feebly said to Su Zi, "Miss Su Zi, didn’t you spot this bothersome stone while rinsing rice and remove it?"
Su Zi shook her head, "What’s the big deal if there’s one or two? At the school cafeteria, I often found stones, sometimes even bugs, wires and such..."
So, you’ve modeled your cooking after the cafeteria meals, then I’ve said nothing!
Afterwards, Lin Feng became quite cautious while eating, but fortunately, no more stones appeared to strike his teeth, leaving Su Zi’s cooking barely passable...
As Lin Feng was nearly finished with his meal, Su Zi suddenly spoke, "Lin Feng, my dad wants me to visit the Wang Family tomorrow ... and he asked me to bring you along!"
Lin Feng was momentarily stunned.
