The chefs watching the spectacle were clearly quite surprised that Baili Wanwan was able to personally prepare this dish.
The fire on the stove had gone out, and a helper came forward to help Wanwan take the porridge off the stove.
The porridge has a faint bamboo scent, which makes people's appetites whetted.
Baili Wanwan took a bowl, scooped out a bowlful, placed it on the stove, then wiped the sweat from her brow and said to Lin Lan, "Come and try it..."
Lin Lan didn't move, but instead joked, "Hmm...it's not poisonous, is it?"
Baili Wanwan immediately became displeased, rolled her eyes at Lin Lan, and said crisply, "Eat it or don't, if you don't want to eat it, I'll eat it myself..."
As soon as Wanwan picked up the spoon, Lin Lan, with a fawning smile, eagerly stepped forward.
"No, I didn't say I wouldn't eat!"
He then scooped up a spoonful and put it in his mouth.
Although this porridge looks like an ordinary bowl of porridge, the moment it enters your mouth, you are greeted by a faint bamboo fragrance.
Upon closer tasting, the fresh and tender minced meat blends perfectly with the rice liquid, making it silky smooth and easy to swallow. The bamboo aroma balances the richness of the chicken, and the rice liquid adds to the porridge-like flavor.
The distinct texture is truly amazing!
Seeing Lin Lan stand there stunned after taking a sip of porridge, Baili Wanwan felt a surge of nervousness.
"Brother Lan, what's wrong? Doesn't it taste good?"
Baili Wanwan blinked, her pink lips pressed tightly together, and even her breathing became much softer.
Lin Lan snapped out of her daze at the delightful taste, then turned to look at Baili Wanwan, pausing for a long time before asking, "Is this... really your first time cooking?"
Baili Wanwan became even more nervous and nodded hurriedly.
Lin Lan originally wanted to give him a lot of praise.
But it's quite amusing to see Baili Wanwan looking so nervous, anxious, and uneasy during her centenary.
A thought suddenly occurred to him, and he decided to play a trick on her.
So he frowned, feigning a bitter expression, and said, "It's too salty, it tastes so salty it's almost bitter!"
Upon hearing this, Baili Wanwan's heart sank.
"That's impossible! I only added a tiny bit of salt at the very end..."
She said she would find a spoon to taste it.
At this moment, Lin Lan seemed to already know what she was going to encounter next, so she suppressed a laugh and tiptoed away, preparing to escape.
At this moment, Baili Wanwan had found a spoon, and she couldn't wait to scoop up a spoonful of porridge and eat it.
"Lin Lan!!"
This was the first time Baili Wanwan had called him by his full name.
Lin Lan turned around somewhat embarrassed, looking at Baili Wanwan, who was a little exasperated.
"You're so mean! You even lie to little kids!"
Baili Wanwan frowned, glaring at him indignantly.
Seeing this, Lin Lan quickly tried to comfort her, "Don't be angry, I was just joking!"
But Wanwan was very angry and refused to forgive Lin Lan's prank.
"Wanwan, don't be angry. I'll just buy you some baby food, okay?"
Seeing that the little darling was unhappy, Lin Lan hurriedly went to coax him.
The group of chefs standing nearby had never seen anything like this before, so they all kept their eyes down, pretending they hadn't seen anything.
"I don't want to!"
Baili Wanwan wrinkled her nose at him, looking very unwilling.
Lin Lan was a little unhappy when he heard this, so he asked her, "What? I just treated you to so much good food, and you're being stingy with just a bowl of porridge?"
Baili Wanwan ignored him and retorted, "I already served you a bowl, but you didn't appreciate it. Now you want some but there's none left!"
"Hey! You..." Lin Lan couldn't think of anything to say in response for a moment.
I couldn't bear to speak harshly, but I felt embarrassed to speak softly. I felt heartbroken for a moment.
"Quick, pack it up and put it away for me, I want to take it with me!"
Baili Wanwan ignored him and instead carefully went to prepare her own soup.
"What do you mean? Wasn't this porridge made for my brother?"
Lin Lan was instantly unhappy when she saw this.
Baili Wanwan rolled her eyes at him, then, carrying the packed baby soup, headed towards the hall.
When the two returned to the private room, coincidentally, Wan Suizhou had just returned from running errands.
He was overjoyed at the sight of the winding path and hurried forward to hand over the small bowl of soup.
"Grandpa, please try this! It's a steamed porridge I made!"
Wan Suizhou held the porridge, his eyes filled with disbelief and a hint of surprise.
"this……"
Seeing him holding the porridge, Wanwan didn't know how to react for a moment, so she secretly chuckled twice, then tugged at his clothes and urged, "Grandpa, try it quickly, I've been making it for a long time!"
"Okay, okay, Grandpa will try it."
Feeling deeply gratified, Wan Suizhou sat down and happily ate the heartfelt gift Wanwan had brought him.
The warm atmosphere between the two of them was exactly what Lin Lan noticed.
He stood at the door, his heart aching.
So he clicked his tongue, sighed, and thought to himself: No wonder this girl is so protective of the bowl of soup I made; she already has someone in mind to give it to...
He suppressed his embarrassment and strode into the private room.
At this moment, Wan Suizhou was sighing.
It seems that he, like Lin Lan, was surprised by the skill level that Wanwan displayed on her first attempt at cooking.
"Wanwan, this, this really is something you made?"
Wanwan nodded vigorously.
"Wanwan is indeed very talented in cooking. If she is nurtured, she might be even better than most people..."
Before Wan Suizhou could say anything more, Lin Lan had already walked up to him and spoke in a deep voice.
Wan Suizhou glanced quickly at Lin Lan, his eyes flashing with a hint of wariness and something unfathomable.
"No need, she's still too young."
Wan Suizhou quickly uttered these words, then lowered his head again and silently drank the porridge that Wanwan had made.
Lin Lan was young and didn't understand Wan Suizhou's casual refusal.
Instead, I wanted to continue sharing my thoughts.
However, the next moment, Wan Suizhou suddenly stood up, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "It's getting late. Thank you for your hospitality, Young Master Lin. Wanwan and I are heading back now."
With that, he pulled Wanwan away in a hurry.
Wan Suizhou only breathed a sigh of relief after they left the town.
The two hitched a ride back to the village.
As soon as they arrived at the village entrance, Wan Yuekui responded.
“I knew you guys would be back, so I’ve been waiting here since early morning.”
"Brother Kui!" Wanwan ran forward with a smile and took Wan Yuekui's hand.
Wan Yuekui felt a sweet warmth in his heart, chuckled twice, and followed Wan Suizhou home.
On the way, Wan Yuekui remembered something and tilted his head to say to Wanwan, "He Yong came looking for you again just now, but I sent him away."
Wanwan said "Oh," looking like she understood.
Wan Yuekui asked her curiously, "That kid has been coming to see you every day lately, so we haven't had time to hang out together. What are you two doing together all the time?"
