Chapter 429 What would you like to eat?

Arrived at the place.

Su Chen parked the car, opened the mobile app again, and carefully confirmed Wang Jiale's specific house number.

After confirming that everything was correct, he walked towards the apartment building.

The elevator doors opened on the 27th floor.

A man in a wrinkled shirt was leaning against the wall, scrolling through his phone boredly.

When the other person noticed someone coming and looked up, Su Chen noticed that he had heavy dark circles under his eyes and his hairline was obviously receding, revealing a large smooth forehead.

"Programmer, huh?"

Su Chen had such a stereotype in his mind.

"Hello, is this Master Su?"

Wang Jiale put away his phone and looked at Su Chen with a little curiosity.

With rosy and shiny skin and thick black hair, he looks energetic.

This is in stark contrast to Wang Jiale's colleagues who have been tortured by work for years and have haggard faces.

"With such a strong yang energy, he must have never been a programmer."

Wang Jiale muttered to himself, feeling a little envious.

The two exchanged a few brief greetings, and then Wang Jiale led Su Chen through the corridor to his door.

Su Chen did not unlock the door immediately, but asked Wang Jiale a few questions seriously.

For example, what is placed at the door, what is in the room, etc.

This is done to ensure that this is indeed Wang Jiale's own house and to avoid accidentally opening someone else's door.

Wang Jiale answered them one by one.

After answering, he saw Su Chen squatting down and searching for tools in the small bag he carried with him.

"Dude, this lock of mine is probably going to be hard to open."

Wang Jiale squatted beside him and couldn't help chattering.

"Every time I go home, I have to use a lot of force to turn the key. It feels like this lock is more stubborn than my boss."

However, before he finished speaking, he saw Su Chen took out a thin wire from his bag, skillfully inserted the wire into the keyhole, and gently turned it with his fingers.

With a crisp and pleasant "click" sound, the security door opened unexpectedly. The whole process was clean and neat, taking no more than five seconds.

Wang Jiale stood there with his mouth open, completely stunned.

He thought it would take at least ten minutes to open it, but he didn't expect it to be so quick.

Looking at the opened door lock, many thoughts flashed through Wang Jiale's mind.

He suddenly felt that if he mastered this technique, he would only need to carry a piece of wire with him when he went out, and there would be no need to carry keys. It would be convenient and save trouble.

But on the other hand, he was worried that his lock could be opened so easily. If he encountered a thief one day, wouldn't he be easily targeted?

Just as Wang Jiale was struggling over whether to change the lock, Su Chen had already pushed open the door.

He glanced at the information he had just asked Wang Jiale.

It completely matches Wang Jiale’s description.

At the same time, Wang Jiale rushed to the sofa, knelt on the ground with a "thump", and reached his hand into the gap of the sofa to grope around.

When he touched the cold key, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately I remembered it correctly!

If the key is really not found, I will probably have to change the locks, which will be a considerable expense.

Then, Wang Jiale thought about how he had saved dozens of dollars in lock-opening fees, and felt that it was not too much to have a chicken leg for dinner tonight.

He was in a good mood and turned to Su Chen and said, "Master, your lock-picking skills are amazing, it's like magic!"

Su Chen looked at this ordinary pin tumbler lock, feeling somewhat unsatisfied.

After all, his master-level lock-picking skills do seem like a waste of talent when used to deal with this kind of ordinary door lock.

But this skill cannot be used casually, or you will get into trouble.

"What do you want to eat? I'll start preparing it now."

Su Chen put the tools into his bag and turned his attention to the kitchen.

Wang Jiale suddenly remembered that he had originally ordered a home cooking service.

An embarrassed look suddenly appeared on his face and he scratched the back of his head awkwardly.

"Um, Master Su, actually I just want someone to open a lock. Can we forget about cooking?"

The other person was kind enough to help him open the lock, which was already a great help. How could he continue to take advantage of him and ask him to cook a meal? This was simply treating him like a beast of burden. He really couldn't bring himself to do this.

Su Chen paused and said, "Since we're here, let's just follow the order process. Just think of unlocking as a complimentary service. You don't have to worry about it."

Seeing that Wang Jiale was still trying to refuse, Su Chen changed the subject and asked as he walked towards the kitchen, "Are there any vegetables in the refrigerator?"

As he said that, he walked towards the kitchen.

Pushing open the kitchen door, Su Chen couldn't help but raise his eyebrows in surprise.

He looked at Wang Jiale and he didn't think he could cook.

However, the kitchen in front of him was surprisingly clean, with pots and pans neatly arranged. It was obvious that the owner took good care of the kitchen.

Su Chen opened the refrigerator, which was filled with vegetables, fruits and other ingredients.

And they all look very fresh.

Wang Jiale noticed the change in Su Chen's expression and smiled innocently. A hint of happiness naturally appeared on his face as he explained, "My girlfriend cleaned these up and bought the vegetables... She wasn't home for the past two days because of something."

"She's such a great cook! I can't stop eating her every time."

Su Chen silently began to count the ingredients in the refrigerator.

The green peppers, pork tenderloin and cabbage are all very fresh.

After counting the ingredients, Su Chen looked at Wang Jiale and asked, "How about shredded pork with green peppers and shredded cabbage? I see the ingredients are ready, and they're perfect for making these two dishes."

Upon hearing this, Wang Jiale immediately nodded: "Okay, okay, okay! My girlfriend is the best at making shredded pork with green peppers. Every time she makes this dish, I can always show off two big bowls of rice!"

"Okay, I'll start preparing the food. I'll call you when it's ready."

Su Chen nodded, turned around and began to prepare the ingredients needed for cooking.

As the recipes for these two dishes were determined, the system's text suddenly appeared in front of Su Chen's eyes.

"Shredded Pork and Green Peppers recipe unlocked."

"Shredded Cabbage recipe unlocked."

While Su Chen took out green peppers and cabbage from the refrigerator, he carefully felt the new cooking details that appeared in his mind.

In fact, for him, even without the recipes provided by this system, basic home-cooked dishes such as shredded pork with green peppers and shredded cabbage would not be difficult for him.

But the experience gained from this recipe was more important. It allowed him to instantly master the most precise control of heat, the most appropriate seasoning ratio, and even had clear standards for the thickness of cutting ingredients.

Wang Jiale stood at the kitchen door, not knowing where to put his hands, looking helpless.

He was a little uncomfortable with a stranger standing in his kitchen cooking while he could only watch from the side, feeling very uncomfortable.

In order to ease his inner embarrassment and discomfort, he could only keep brainwashing himself in his mind: "I paid for it!"
