Lin Shan had just gone out in a hurry. When he was about to take a shower, he remembered that he hadn't even put on his slippers. He ran back to put on his shoes, and when he heard Lin Xiangyi's words, he immediately said, "I'll clean up, I'll clean up."
When Lin Xiangyi saw Lin Shan, she returned to her cold and aloof look and pulled Xie Qingxiao out of the utility room.
Lin Shan started to clean up the house with great effort, and soon he had cleaned out a lot of debris.
He packed up the wine bottles and put them in the yard, and saw Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi getting ready to go out.
He panicked and asked quickly, "Xiangyi, where are you going? Are you going back to the Xie family?"
A bit like a dog who is afraid of being abandoned.
Lin Xiangyi had never seen such a look in Lin Shan's eyes before. She felt that he was both pitiful and hateful.
She said unhappily, "Qingxiao and I will go check on the business and will be back later."
When Lin Shan heard this, he was obviously relieved and said with a smile: "So you are going to check on business matters, then go ahead. I will clean the house and then buy some meat and wait for you to come back for dinner."
"I know," Lin Xiangyi said coldly.
She went out with Xie Qingxiao.
Lin Shan cleaned the house inside and out, washed himself, and was about to go out to buy groceries when Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi came back carrying groceries.
"I guess it will take you a long time to clean the house, so we bought some vegetables while we were passing by," said Xie Qingxiao.
"Then I don't need to go out. Come, give me the food and I'll cook," said Lin Shan.
"Can you cook?" Lin Xiangyi asked doubtfully.
Over the years, Lin Shan ate in the cafeteria at work, and at home she ate meals cooked by Chen Fengmei or him. She had never seen him cook.
"Then you underestimate me. Of course I can cook!" Lin Shan said, rubbing his hands together. "I was an expert at cooking back then. If you don't believe me, I'll show you my skills in a moment!"
Okay then.
Xie Qingxiao gave the dishes in their hands to Lin Shan, and Lin Shan went into the kitchen.
Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi went to the main room to sit and chat. After a while, a burnt smell came over. The two looked at each other and hurried to the kitchen.
Lin Shan was frying fish. He hurriedly turned down the gas and poured water into the pot. Thick smoke immediately came out of the pot. He used a spatula to turn the fish over, but it was already burnt.
He looked at Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi somewhat embarrassedly and explained, "I can really cook, but I haven't done it for a long time, so I'm a little rusty."
"How about I do it?" Xie Qingxiao thought Lin Shan was being stubborn, so he took the initiative to give him a way out.
Lin Shan: “I really can!”
"Forget it, let him do it himself," Lin Xiangyi said, pulling Xie Qingxiao out.
Xie Qingxiao was still worried. He was not worried about Lin Shan, but he was worried that if Lin Shan's cooking was not delicious, Lin Xiangyi would have morning sickness or stomach upset after eating it. As soon as he left the house, he lowered his voice and said to Lin Xiangyi:
"If it doesn't taste good later, don't force yourself to eat it. I'll go to the state-owned restaurant and pack some food for you later."
"Okay," Lin Xiangyi nodded.
Lin Shan in the kitchen: “…” Don’t think that she can’t hear them just because they speak softly, her hearing is very good!
In order to prove himself, Lin Shan worked very hard to cook. He would think for a while about each step. It took him nearly two hours to cook the four dishes, and finally there were no mistakes.
Lin Shan confidently brought it out and called out happily, "It's time to eat."
Because Lin Shan cooked too slowly, Lin Xiangyi felt a little tired sitting downstairs, so she went upstairs with Xie Qingxiao to rest for a while.
The couple went downstairs only after hearing Lin Shan’s call.
Lin Shan had already prepared the meal, making three dishes and a soup: tofu and crucian carp soup, braised lion head soup, scallion tofu, and a pot of green vegetables.
It didn’t look that great from the outside, but apart from the crucian carp in the tofu and crucian carp soup which looked a little burnt, the others were not burnt.
"Come, come, try my cooking," Lin Shan enthusiastically handed a pair of chopsticks to Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi respectively.
Xie Qingxiao gave Lin Xiangyi a look, then picked up the food first——
Seeing this, Lin Shan's mouth twitched.
Why does this heroic death look like a poison test?
He had tasted the dishes he made. They didn't look very good, but they tasted okay.
"How is it?" he asked eagerly when he saw Xie Qingxiao tasting a piece of tofu.
"If it doesn't taste good, just spit it out," Lin Xiangyi said bluntly beside him, "Don't force it."
"Not bad," Xie Qingxiao swallowed the tofu, glanced at Lin Shan, and repeated, "It tastes good."
Lin Shan's face immediately lit up with a smile: "I told you I can cook! I really didn't lie to you! Xiangyi, you should try it too."
After saying that, he picked up a braised lion head and put it in Lin Xiangyi's bowl.
Lin Xiangyi picked it up and ate it. She looked up at Lin Shan's expectant, "seeking praise" expression. She nodded calmly and said, "It tastes really good."
Lin Shan laughed happily, "It's just that I haven't cooked much in the past ten years. Otherwise, with my cooking skills back then, even the chefs in state-owned restaurants couldn't compare to me! This was said by your mother herself. Although more than ten years have passed, I still have some physical memories. After I practice for a while, my cooking skills will definitely return to the level of the past!"
"Oh," Lin Xiangyi responded nonchalantly and sat down to eat.
Lin Shan talked a lot today, and he kept talking.
Lin Xiangyi didn't want to pay attention to him. If she wanted to agree, she would agree. If she didn't want to agree, she would just ignore his words.
