Chapter 214 God’s Blessing
Xu Youyou only thought the smell was very good before, but she didn’t expect that after she tasted it, it was no worse than the cooking of those top chefs she had eaten.
To some extent, it even has a special charm.
It’s as if the food cooked by Qing Yatou restores its original flavor to the greatest extent possible.
"Your barbecue is so delicious, you can definitely open a barbecue restaurant and ensure that the restaurant is always full of customers." Xu Youyou said while giving Qing Yatou a thumbs up.
Qing Yatou smiled shyly and said, "I can't do business."
Xu Youyou looked puzzled: "Did anyone forbid you to do business?"
Qing Yatou shook her head and said, "Everyone has his own way, and mine is not about doing business."
Xu Youyou saw that the smell of a charlatan on her suddenly became stronger. Knowing that she was a very principled person, she immediately swallowed the words of persuasion she was about to say.
"It's better not to do business. I think your skills are only mastered by you. There's no way to teach it to others. If you really have a full house of guests, it would be tiring." Xu Youyou said casually.
She had just carefully observed Qing Yatou making the barbecue. She did whatever she wanted throughout the whole process, as if she was very familiar with the ingredients. She knew what seasoning to sprinkle at the right time, and she never forgot to turn the ingredients over. She controlled the heat extremely precisely.
Qing Yatou handed Xu Youyou a bunch of freshly grilled mushrooms.
Xu Youyou originally thought that this girl was good at grilling, but she didn't expect that when the mushrooms entered her mouth, the fresh juice burst in her mouth, as if she had taken a bite of the deliciousness directly. In a trance, she saw the rapid growth process of the mushrooms on the grass in the future.
If it wasn't so cold today, she would have almost thought it was the rainy season.
However, Qing Yatou was not satisfied with the delicious food and said, "These are fresh mushrooms bought from outside. They are not as good as the wild mushrooms in the mountains. They don't taste good. Sister Youyou, just eat them."
Xu Youyou was so surprised that she couldn't even hide her expression: "Ah? Isn't this delicious?"
Qing Yatou shook her head and said, "Artificially grown mushrooms always seem to have a hasty taste, and the taste is not as delicate and rich as the wild mushrooms in the mountains. Once you try one bite, I guarantee you will never forget it."
Xu Youyou swallowed her saliva upon hearing this.
Qingyatou handed her another bunch of vegetables: "These are the vegetables I grew myself."
Xu Youyou has always been a meat lover and doesn't particularly like vegetables, but the vegetables that Qing Yatou grows herself are a hundred times more delicious than those organic vegetables boasted by the sky-high-priced supermarkets outside.
“Spring has the taste of spring, and summer has the taste of summer. My grandfather taught me to arrange my diet according to the four seasons. It’s not a big deal if I go against the four seasons, but the food I eat won’t taste the best.” Qing Yatou has her own set of food theories.
After listening to Qing Yatou's description, Xu Youyou was suddenly not so anxious to return to Shanghai. She wished she could continue living in her hometown for another year or two to experience all the flavors of spring, summer, autumn and winter.
The camera on the side also faithfully recorded everything.
However, Lu Jingyao, while the two were not paying attention, quietly picked up a bunch of potatoes and started roasting them on the charcoal fire, imitating Qing Yatou's behavior.
When he felt it was almost done, he picked up the seasoning bottle beside him and sprinkled it on the potato skewers. He looked focused and his movements were quick and smooth, looking like he was painting instead of barbecuing.
However, the smell gradually emanating from the string of potato chips gave him away.
"What are you doing again?" Xu Youyou never knew that potato chips could have such a pungent smell.
For the first time, an embarrassed look appeared on Lu Jingyao's handsome face. He looked at his burnt potato chips, then at Qing Yatou who was standing beside him with a puzzled look on her face.
"I thought it would be fine to do the same as her. I just timed it and followed the same steps as her..." Lu Jingyao couldn't figure it out.
He felt like he was a one-to-one replica, but the potato chips in Qing Yatou's hand were perfectly grilled, while those in his hand did not look like something a human could make.
Xu Youyou took a deep breath. She had witnessed Lu Jingyao's unwillingness to admit defeat. Although Lu Jingyao did not urge her to eat dark food in the past few days, he had been cooking in the kitchen in private.
Xu Youyou could only pretend not to know. After all, Lu Jingyao had never thought about cooking in all these years. Now that he suddenly had such an idea, it was all for her own good.
Qing Yatou looked at Lu Jingyao carefully and said, "Mr. Lu, you'd better not cook. You are not destined to be a chef."
Lu Jingyao touched his nose and lowered his head modestly: "Ms. Cheng, I don't have any plans to be a chef, I just want to make meals that my girlfriend likes."
Since he was a child, Lu Jingyao had heard his father say that to capture a woman's heart, you have to capture her stomach. His father was indeed a good cook. Every time it was his mother's birthday, his father would cook for her personally and prepare a table of his mother's favorite meals.
Lu Jingyao never had a girlfriend in the past, and he didn’t care whether he could cook or not. Now that he has gained a status in Xu Youyou’s arms, he naturally wants to do his best to show himself.
Qing Yatou said, "You and the kitchen are in conflict. If you enter the kitchen, you will hurt others and yourself."
Lu Jingyao paused and said, "I won't go into the kitchen because I'm afraid others will think my girlfriend is worse than others."
Xu Youyou's cheeks were slightly hot, and she said hurriedly: "Don't look at those messy things on the Internet! What does it have to do with me whether you go into the kitchen or not?"
Lu Jingyao said, "Other people's boyfriends are good at both housework and cooking, but I'm not good at it... Isn't it embarrassing for you?"
Xu Youyou: ...I really don’t understand why you men have such an inexplicable competitive spirit.
"You don't read financial magazines every day, so what are you reading?" Xu Youyou couldn't help but ask.
Lu Jingyao thought about it and realized that although it was quite embarrassing, the most important thing in a relationship between a man and a woman was to be honest with each other.
Xu Youyou soon heard a message reminder. She took out her mobile phone and saw several links sent by Lu Jingyao.
"Men become cooking gods, women stay at home."
"The Kitchen God Husband Spoils His Beautiful Wife Every Day, But She Can't Handle It"
…
Xu Youyou's pupils trembled.
She didn't even know that the young and promising Lu Jingyao would be fooled by these stupid articles on public accounts.
For the first time, Lu Jingyao didn't dare to look closely at Xu Youyou's expression.
It was Qing Yatou who suddenly spoke up, breaking the awkward situation between the two: "Looking closely, Mr. Lu and Sister Youyou do look like a couple."
Lu Jingyao suddenly looked at her, his eyes bright and startling: "Is that true?"
Xu Youyou couldn't help but reach out and pull him.
Qing Yatou still looked like a charlatan. She looked back and forth between the two of them for a long time, and then said, "It's a match made in heaven. Even if God comes, He will bless you."
