Jiang Zhen was cutting vegetables when she turned to look at Jiang An. “There’s no need. I’m not slow by myself. Go play in the living room.”
When Jiang An heard Jiang Zhen’s tone as if he was dismissing a child, she was stunned for a moment. She thought that Jiang Zhen was afraid that she would be a hindrance and hurriedly explained, “1 used to work often. I’m very agile. If you need any help, just tell me.”
When Jiang Zhen heard this, he stopped what he was doing. He knew that Jiang An’s life in the Tan family was not easy, but when he heard Jiang An say that she often worked, Jiang Zhen felt very uncomfortable and at the same time, he felt a little irritable.
Jiang Zhen restrained his emotions. When he looked up, there was only a gentle smile in his eyes. “There’s really no need. I’m used to cooking alone. 1 find it troublesome to have another person out. Go watch television or play a mobile game. I’ll be done soon.”
Jiang An looked at the vegetables on the chopping board. The thickness was moderate. Just by looking at the knife skills, she knew that Jiang Zhen’s culinary skills were not bad. If she helped, she might really make it worse. Hence, she smiled and said, “Alright, 1’11 go to the living room. Call me if you need me.”
Jiang Zhen smiled and nodded. “Don’t worry. I won’t stand on ceremony with you if I need anything.”
At 11:30am, all the dishes were served. The two of them sat at the dining table. Jiang An looked at the dishes that looked and smelled good and gave Jiang Zhen a thumbs up. “Your culinary skills are at the master level.”
Receiving Jiang An’s praise, Jiang Zhen heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. He smiled faintly and said, “I usually like to study recipes in my spare time. It looks alright, but 1 don’t know if the taste is to your liking. I still need you to review it for me later.”
Jiang An took out her phone and started taking photos as she replied, “With this appearance, how can the taste be bad!”
After Jiang An finished taking pictures, she uploaded it to her social media account and wrote: [My friend’s culinary skills are awesome! Another day of good food. I’m happy! ]
Before posting it this time, Jiang An carefully checked the photo to ensure that no part of Jiang Zhen’s body appeared before pressing the send button.
[Wow, An’an, you’ve finally reappeared! 1 haven’t seen your status for almost half a month. If you hadn’t signed with your own company, 1 would have thought that you had been frozen!]
[I’m so touched. I scroll every morning, noon, and night. I’ve finally managed to wait for it today! An’an’s friend’s culinary skills are really good. Just looking at it makes me drool. Speaking of which, could this friend be her boyfriend?!] [Even if he’s not her boyfriend now, An’an can still do it! Men who know how to cook are rare. You have to cherish them and make the first move!]
[The dining table in this photo looks so familiar. It seems to be from the new neighborhood area where my family just bought a place. That developer’s model room has this set.]
[There should be a lot of such tables. They don’t look special. It’s just that the patterns are a little real.]
[The sisters upstairs might not know, but there aren’t many of such tables. Our boss recently asked me to help him buy some real estate. I’ve seen all the houses in Jingdu City, but only the Purple Light Courtyard in Zone 2 is equipped with this table. Just by hearing this location, everyone should be able to guess that this house is worth a lot! Those who can get land to develop here are all big developers. Just this table between the boards costs millions! That pattern is unique to the high-end series under the Lin Wood Company. I’m definitely not mistaken.]
[The friend of the daughter of the Jiang family is indeed not an ordinary person. 1 suddenly thought of the childhood sweetheart that An’an mentioned during the new year! Could the two be related?]
After Jiang An sent the photo, she stopped looking at the comments section and began to focus on eating with Jiang Zhen.
The dishes were especially rich. Jiang Zhen made five dishes and a soup, all of which were Jiang An’s favorites.
Jiang An took a bite of the spicy chicken and gave Jiang Zhen a thumbs up. “Delicious! It’s spicy and authentic.”
Jiang Zhen looked at Jiang An taking bites of the chicken and was very satisfied. He instructed softly, “Eat slowly. The portions are definitely enough.”
Jiang An’s eyes were fixed on the fried golden and crisp lotus root again. She picked up a piece and tasted it. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It was fresh and not greasy. “Brother Jiang Zhen, your culinary skills are not bad. Have you really never learned from a master?”
Jiang Zhen smiled. “There’s no such thing as apprenticeship. It’s really something 1 just learn myself at home. If you like it, eat more..”
