“Since you’ve said so, I’ll show you what I can do.”
“I haven’t decided on anything for today’s lunch yet, so I’ll eat here.”
Lin Yi’s confidence was entirely due to the Sage’s wisdom.
Although he was not as good as Michelin’s three-star chefs, he was still better than ordinary chefs.
It was not a problem for them to cook up a table full of delicious dishes.
“Sure, I’ll give you my best wishes in advance. Don’t let your food spoil your stomach. Would you like to use my bathroom later?”
“We’ll see about that.”
Lin Yi did not waste any more words and went downstairs with his phone.
Since the things he wanted to buy were all meat and vegetables, Lin Yi went to the Carrefour supermarket near Chaoyang Group and bought everything in twenty minutes.
Steak, lobster, caviar, and a lot of fresh organic vegetables were all laid out on the table. In total, it cost almost 10,000 dollars.
“I’m going to start cooking now. You can go to the cafeteria since there’s no food for you yet.”
“I’m not going.” Ji Qingyan gloated. “Are you trying to get rid of me because you’re afraid of being embarrassed?”
“I’m afraid you’ll die of hunger.”
“I’m not hungry.” Qingyan retorted.
“I’ll just wait here and watch you make a fool of yourself so you won’t try to brag in front of me.”
“Then let me talk with my skills.”
As he spoke, Lin Yi entered Qingyan’s kitchen and found that it was a whole different world inside. There were all kinds of equipment there.
Seeing this, Lin Yi could not help but laugh. She had prepared a whole kitchen setup for herself, yet claimed that she was not hungry.
Who was she kidding?
Ding-dong-dong
After about twenty minutes, Lin Yi walked out of the kitchen with four dishes and a soup.
Lobster with garlic cheese, beef tenderloin with Hangzhou Pepper, scrambled eggs with persimmon, and seaweed egg drop soup.
Looking at the four simple and exquisite dishes, Ji Qingyan’s big, beautiful eyes twinkled, and the biscuit in her hand almost fell to the ground.
Taste aside, just the looks and color were really good.
Especially the lobster with cheese, which seemed to be very delicious.
“Lin Yi, you made so much delicious food.” Ji Qingyan put down the biscuit and said with a smile, her face pale.
“Is it too much? I usually eat this much.”
“You eat all this yourself?”
“Yeah, didn’t you say you weren’t going to eat it? I made enough for one person.” Lin Yi said.
“Actually, I really like biscuits, but the Doctor said that I have a bad stomach and can’t eat too much of it. I’m really envious of you. You can eat anything you want, but I can’t.”
Kacha!
Ji Qingyan took a bite of the biscuit and started munching on it.
“Yeah, the biscuits are really delicious. If you don’t eat them, you might die from hunger.”
“Yes, yes, I am so jealous. The dishes I make are neither good-looking nor delicious. They are just like pig food. I am so pitiful.”
As he spoke, Lin Yi took big mouthfuls of the food, filling his mouth with the fragrant oils.
The more Lin Yi ate, the more he wanted to cry because his food was so good.
Ka-chow!
Ka-chow!
Ka-chow!
Lin Yi was eating vigorously, but Ji Qingyan was eating even more vigorously!
She was not trying to fight for the mantou, she was trying to fight for her pride!
She could not lose.
However, as she ate, Ji Qingyan choked.
“Lin Yi, I’m choking.”
“You should drink some water.”
“Water isn’t good.”
“Then what do you want to Do? Do you want me to send you to the hospital?”
“No, just let me drink some of your soup.”
Pfftt!
Lin Yi’s snot almost burst out due to his laughter. “Didn’t you say that my food was pig food? And you said that a woman always keeps her word? Can you really drink it?”
“Don’t be mad at me.” Ji Qingyan said as if she had been wronged. “Don’t eat it. There’s not much left. Save some for me.”
Ji Qingyan walked over in her high heels.
It was not the first time she had lost face in front of him anyway. She did not want to miss the food this time.
“It’s all my leftovers. Don’t eat it.”
“How dare you say that? You ate it yourself and didn’t save any for me. I won’t be with you anymore.” Ji Qingyan said angrily.
“I even left you some mango juice in the fridge. How dare you treat me like this.”
Lin Yi chuckled. “I’m a little thirsty. Go get the mango juice from the fridge.”
“I can help you get the juice, but let’s make a deal. You can’t touch the food on the table. Even if you’re not full, you can’t eat it. The rest is mine.”
“Okay.”
“Don’t try to cheat me. I’ve memorized the shape of the food. If you touch it, we’ll break up.”
“Huh? What position are we in to be breaking up?”
“We’re not in any position. but I’ll definitely not be with you.”
“Okay, okay, okay. You’re dying of hunger, so just go get me the juice.”
“Okay.”
Ji Qingyan went into the kitchen, but she screamed as soon as she went in.
“Ah! Lin Yi!”
“What are you yelling for?”
“You actually saved me a portion.”
Lin Yi smiled. “Hurry up and eat it, it’ll be cold soon.”
“Hehe, you’re so nice.”
A few minutes later, the mango juice and other dishes were taken out.
“Why did you only eat half of the lobster and give me the other half?”
“You’re tired from work. Eat more, greedy cat.”
Ji Qingyan’s cheeks were flushed with happiness.
“Don’t drink that mango juice either.”
“Then what should I drink?”
“Just you wait.”
Ji Qingyan found her bag and used a makeup remover to wipe off the lipstick on her thin lips. She put on a layer of mango-flavored lipstick and gently kissed Lin Yi on the cheek.
“Chef Lin, this is your reward. I’ll give you a five-star review later.”
“Not bad, not bad. Your skills are much better now,” Lin Yi said. “I think it’ll be better if you practice more in the future.”
“Hmph, you’re so naughty.”
Ji Qingyan couldn’t help but have a taste of Lin Yi’s Hangzhou Pepper beef tenderloin. Although it was a little spicy, it was super delicious.
“Lin Yi, this is so delicious!” Ji Qingyan was dancing with excitement, “I’ve never eaten such delicious food in a restaurant before. You’re so busy every day. When did you learn to cook? I’ve been practicing for a long time, but I still haven’t learned to cook like this.”
“If you say that, we’ll have to start discussing talent.”
“Tsk, could you gloat any more?”
Lin Yi smiled. “Eat more if it’s good.”
“Yeah, yeah, but if you eat too much, you have to accompany me to lose weight. By then, I won’t be able to eat good food, but neither will you.”
“Fine, fine, fine. I’ll do whatever you say.”
Lin Yi was lost in thought as he looked at the cute way Ji Qingyan ate. He asked,
“Oh right, did you call me this morning for something?”
“It’s not a big deal.” Ji Qingyan said.
“You’re Party A now, and I’m Party B’s Party B. I want to go to Wangjiang Dock this afternoon. Do you want to come along? If you have any other opinions, you can let me know.”
“I think you want to go to the scene, but you don’t want to drive yourself. You want me to be the driver.”
“Smart.”
“I’ll go with you this afternoon. Then, I can also check the progress of the project.”
“Okay.”
Ji Qingyan did not eat very quickly. It took her half an hour to finish the meal.
After the meal, Ji Qingyan took the initiative to take away the leftovers.
“Why did you put it away?” Lin Yi asked
“There’s so much left. It’d be a waste to throw it away. There’s a lunch box in the kitchen, so I’ll bring it back tonight. You don’t have to take the peppers inside, but you have to keep the meat.”
“You’re right.”
Lin Yi’s face broke into a fatherly smile.
This little Missy was quite virtuous after all.
