He Zhou stood there, looking at the other plate of steak on the long table, now cold and discolored, his face ashen, feeling as if he had been slapped in the face without his knowledge.
This was more embarrassing for him than telling him directly that "He Jing's cooking is better than his."
He Jing must have already figured it out, which is why she was so calm and collected, but in reality, she was secretly laughing at him...
He Ning asked, "Why are you back again?"
He Ning remained relatively calm, ate most of the steak, wiped his mouth, and put down the rest.
He looked at He Zhou and said seriously, "Third brother, He Jing's cooking is better than yours. We kept it from you because we were afraid you would lose face. Don't blame He Jing."
He Zhou asked menacingly, "In your hearts, am I such a sore loser?"
He Sui quickly denied it: "Of course not."
He wasn't a sore loser, but rather too reckless. From childhood to adulthood, whenever he felt he was inferior to others in some way, he would relentlessly study and improve until he defeated the opponent or the opponent surrendered. Few people could withstand that kind of drive.
They were afraid that He Jing would be targeted by him.
He Zhou didn't believe He Sui's nonsense, but he was still upset, especially when he looked at the plate of steak that the two of them were fighting over, his lips were almost pressed into a thin, sharp line.
He Jing spoke up with a smile at the opportune moment: "Third Brother, would you like to try some?"
He Zhou gave He Jing a cold glare, hesitated at the door for a minute, and then walked towards He Ning with a cold face, cut a piece of steak, and put it in his mouth.
In an instant, his expression changed dramatically.
The tender, juicy beef is incredibly flavorful, with absolutely no gamey taste, and a rich, aromatic fragrance. This fragrance blends with the mellow aroma of white mushrooms and the boozy notes of white grapes. The moment you bite into it, it's like a bomb explodes onto your taste buds, leaving your teeth feeling pleasantly numb. The spiciness of the onions elevates the entire steak to an even higher level. If you had to describe it in one word, it would be "perfect!"
His burger steak is nothing compared to this!
While he was eating, He Jing explained to him: "The beef we use is the tenderest tenderloin from the cow. It doesn't need to be tenderized with a knife, as that would cause nutrient loss and reduce its texture. It's better to marinate it with black pepper and salt before cooking. After it's flavorful, fry it over high heat for six minutes. That's when it tastes best. Just take it out of the pan, and it will look like this. It's not difficult at all."
Upon hearing this, He Sui felt it was incredibly simple and exclaimed, "Holy crap!" He then said, "Can't I do that too?"
Just as He Jing was about to nod, He Ning said, "It's not that easy."
He Jing didn't use a timer just now.
In other words, she's so skilled at making this steak that she could do it with her eyes closed, which is why she can talk about it so casually.
But in reality, perhaps only she can grasp that balance.
After finishing that small piece of steak, He Zhou's body still felt unsatisfied, but his brain wouldn't allow him to reach for it a second time. He interrogated He Jing sharply, asking with deep eyes, "Where did you learn to cook?"
He Jing replied, "I often do it when I'm bored at home."
He Zhou didn't believe it: "Why would the Cheng family let you cook for them personally?"
He Jing blinked, a hint of playfulness in her eyes: "They can't watch me 24 hours a day."
That's true...
After a brief silence, He Zhou's expression calmed down, and he smiled slightly, saying, "It seems our life together will be quite interesting from now on."
He Sui's scalp tingled instantly, and alarm bells blared: "Third Brother, don't do this..."
He Jing, however, seemed completely unaffected by any pressure or crisis, and smiled sweetly: "Really? I'm looking forward to it."
