Chapter 583: Competing for Favor in Front of Nuannuan
Su Nuan tore the rabbit meat into pieces and then warmed it in the pot.
Seeing Su Nuan still standing there, Bai Tong immediately raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why are you still standing there? Are you trying to steal my skills?"
Su Nuan chuckled when she heard this, "With just your mediocre skills, is it worth it for me to steal them?"
"You!" Bai Tong's cheeks flushed with anger.
Suddenly her eyes rolled, "Since you are so capable, do you dare to compete with me?"
Su Nuan looked at her and asked with interest, "Oh? How do you compare?"
Bai Tong was about to speak, but suddenly shook his head as if he was disappointed, "No way... You cook for them every day, so you naturally know their taste preferences."
She bit her lower lip unwillingly, "The game hasn't even started yet and I've already lost a move."
Su Nuan laughed secretly, this woman is not stupid.
She smiled and said, "How about this, you tell me the name of the dish, I'll make the same as you, and then I'll tell you how it tastes."
When Ling Yun heard Su Nuan say this, his heart tightened and he felt a little excited.
Would Su Nuan know what kind of food she liked? She seemed to be very casual and not picky about food as long as she could eat her fill.
Su Nuan suddenly realized that she seemed to have never seriously thought about her taste preferences.
If there was anyone's taste that he had ever really paid attention to, it was the taste of the three women in the Ling family: the two elders and one child.
She subconsciously looked at Ling Cang, but saw that man staring at her with a smile, and the trust in his eyes made her feel a little guilty.
Bai Tong slammed the chopping board, "It's settled!"
She raised her chin, the silver hairpin in her hair swaying slightly with her movements. "Even though I might still lose, since I've proposed it, I won't back down."
Su Nuan looked at Bai Tong's stubborn profile, and suddenly found that this girl who had been at odds with her actually had a bit of cuteness in her eyes.
She reached out and took the apron handed to her by the fat lady, rubbing her fingertips on the coarse cloth twice, "Okay, then you say..."
Ling Cang suddenly said, "Wait a minute!"
He smiled and said, "Since it's a competition, there should be a prize. The winner can make a request to the loser."
Bai Tong's eyes lit up: "Deal!"
She looked at Su Nuan provocatively, "Don't cry when the time comes!"
She felt that Ling Cang was favoring her. After all, she was the only one in the world who could cook, and others could only make a stew at most.
Thinking of this, she looked at Ling Cang with shy eyes and clutched her apron awkwardly.
The fat lady kindly reminded, "Girl, if you don't cook this meat now, it will be wasted."
She was not helping Bai Tong, but she had experienced so many disasters in the north and knew how precious food was. She couldn't bear to see food being wasted.
Bai Tao turned around hurriedly and quickly scraped it with a spatula.
Su Nuan was tying her apron slowly and leisurely. "I will return this sentence as it is."
Bai Tong served the rabbit meat and breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "Thank goodness I didn't waste the food."
These words won everyone's favor, but they couldn't bear to see Bai Tong targeting Su Nuan, so they still didn't give him a good look.
Su Nuan pondered for a moment and said, "Lingyun's taste is heavier, you can add more sauce to enhance the flavor."
"As for my husband, he can eat up anything that can be put into his mouth."
"The old lady needs something light and soft, the mother-in-law can add a little chili, the sister-in-law likes sweet food, but too much sugar will cause toothache."
Bai Tong's expression gradually softened, "It was I who underestimated you."
Seeing that Su Nuan really said it, her expression softened a little, "Okay, we will make a dish for each of them."
Su Nuan agreed, "Okay, let's divide the portion of one dish into two plates so that it's easier to compare."
The fat aunt swiftly brought over two plates, one was a celadon lotus plate, and the other was a celadon round plate.
Bai Tong said sharply, "I want the one with the lotus edge."
She was like a willful child, fighting for a pretty toy.
Su Nuan smiled slightly and didn't care about it at all.
Ling Yun's eyes flashed with unconcealable joy, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.
He glanced secretly in Ling Cang's direction, his eyebrows slightly raised, and his smug look seemed to say, "See? Sister-in-law remembers my taste very clearly!"
"She doesn't remember your taste, she just knows that you eat everything and you're not picky."
Seeing this, Ling Cang shook his head helplessly, but a hint of relief appeared in his eyes.
He thought to himself, this kid finally got it and knew how to compete for Nuannuan's favor.
Ling Cang deliberately cleared his throat and looked between the two of them.
Ling Yun immediately restrained his expression and pretended to stare at the stove intently, but the blush on his ears betrayed his thoughts.
Su Nuan happened to turn around and said loudly, "Xiao Yun, what do you want to eat? Come over and choose."
Ling Yun's eyes suddenly lit up, and he took two steps at a time to move forward. His attentive look made Ling Cang shake his head.
Bai Tong looked at Ling Yun, his eyes did not change.
Su Nuan was a little surprised that Bai Tong didn't like the more handsome Ling Yun, but liked the strong one like Ling Cang.
An idea suddenly popped up in her mind: if Bai Tong really likes Ling Cang, and Ling Cang also likes Bai Tong, the two of them will definitely be happy!
Seeing Su Nuan staring at him blankly, Bai Tong touched his face suspiciously and asked, "Is my face dirty?"
Su Nuan laughed and shook her head, "No, I just think you're cute like this."
Bai Tong was caught off guard by this sudden compliment and her whole face turned red.
Ling Yun caught a pheasant and placed it in front of Su Nuan, saying eagerly, "I want to eat braised chicken nuggets."
Su Nuan nodded, "Okay."
She picked up the knife and cut the pheasant in half, then held up the two pieces of chicken and asked, "Which side do you choose?"
Without even looking up, Bai Tong casually picked up half of it and whispered, "This is it..."
Su Nuan asked again: "Can you make braised chicken nuggets?"
Bai Tong finally realized something was wrong and looked up at Su Nuan. "Can you cook?"
Su Nuan nodded, "Yes, it's not a difficult thing."
Bai Tong's face turned from red to white, "You...how could you?"
Su Nuan glanced at her sideways, "There are many people in this world who can make it. I learned it from an old lady when I was in exile. Unfortunately, my skills are not very good, and the taste of my cooking is not even one tenth of hers."
Ling Yun and Ling Cang looked at each other. It was the first time they realized that Su Nuan didn't even blush when she lied.
Although they didn't know why Su Nuan had so many new and interesting things, they wouldn't ask unless Su Nuan told them.
Ling Yun thought for a moment and agreed: "Yes, we can testify."
Bai Tong frowned, and finally accepted this explanation, "Okay, let's get started."
Su Nuan nodded and chopped the chicken into pieces, making each piece neat and uniform in size.
Bai Tong's eyes flashed with surprise. She bit her lip unwillingly, "Not bad for your knife skills."
She didn't mean to praise Su Nuan, she just wanted to return the compliment she had just given her.
Su Nuan looked at Bai Tong, who was feeling awkward, and had another question in her mind: if Bai Tong was really that special person, how should she treat her?
Arrest him? Or... make friends with him?
