He Jing didn't force her. Laymen look at speed, experts look at technique. This Chef Wang is not as good as Chef Luo.
Although Chef Luo is young, he is very skilled at handling ingredients and has unique insights into ingredient pairings. His dish, Dragon Soaring and Phoenix Dancing, is brightly colored and exquisitely carved, far superior to Chef Wang's Ming Si Xi.
However, Chef Wang ultimately scored 9.8 points, while Chef Luo only scored 9.4.
He Jing stood up and said calmly, "Third Brother, you can take your time reading. I'm going to sleep now."
He Zhou originally thought He Jing was going to argue with him or change her tune to please him so that the He family could gain status. However, she casually said "I'm going to sleep" and changed the subject, as if his deliberate sarcastic remark was insignificant.
"etc."
He Zhou called out to her.
"Didn't you want to learn to cook? How about starting now?"
He Jing's eyes narrowed, then she tilted her head and smiled: "Okay!"
The two walked together toward the kitchen.
...
He Sui had just finished washing the dishes when he saw He Jing carrying a large bag of groceries and following He Zhou in.
He watched in surprise as He Jing picked out the ingredients one by one from the plastic bag, and asked with a bewildered look, "What are you going to do?"
He Jing replied, "Learn to cook."
He Sui screamed in shock: "Are you crazy? We just ate today!"
He Zhou wanted to give He Jing a hard time, so he said to He Sui, "If you have nothing else to do, you can go out first."
He Sui was extremely dissatisfied. It was one thing for He Jing to be willful and unreasonable since she was a girl, but how could he, a grown man, be so irrational?
He Jing said, "Let's fry some beef balls for a late-night snack."
"!!!" He Suifei's expression changed drastically. "You guys blow it up."
Upon witnessing this scene, He Zhou gained a deeper understanding of He Jing, realizing that this was how she had bribed He Sui.
Indeed, He Sui is a true foodie; he can't resist any meaty food, making him arguably the most innocent one in the family...
He Jing divided each ingredient into two portions, one for herself and one for He Zhou, and then asked, "Third Brother, what do you want to teach me to do?"
He Zhou glanced at the large, high-quality beef tenderloin and smiled, "Let's make Western food."
As soon as he finished speaking, He Jing gave him a strange look: "But isn't Third Brother's specialty Chinese food?"
Given the He family's financial situation, the only Western food they could afford was vegetable salad and mashed potatoes. Where would he get the experience to cook steak?
He Zhou said, "My experience is enough to teach you."
He Jing was speechless. After a moment of silence, she smiled faintly and said, "Okay, then Third Brother will do it, and I'll watch and learn."
He Zhou was very confident in his ability to fry steaks, because when he helped his aunt, he would occasionally watch the hamburger truck next door. He had fried hamburger steaks countless times and had memorized them. The taste was definitely no worse than any steak restaurant.
He chose to pan-fry steak because it looks simple, but it's actually quite difficult and can be a dish that makes you embarrass yourself.
Its control over the heat is almost demanding. If it's overcooked, it'll be too tough; if it's undercooked, the beef blood won't have solidified yet. Whether it's fully cooked or still bloody, the situation will definitely be awkward.
Thinking of this, He Zhou couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips into a smile.
He Jing watched as He Zhou skillfully washed the steak, removing the blood. He patted the beef tenderloin with the back of a knife to tenderize the meat, as this would make it more flavorful during marinating. Then he placed the beef tenderloin into the hot oil.
After frying for about five minutes, the steak was scooped out and placed on a plate, glistening beautifully with oil.
