Han Junche couldn't understand how their conversation about dating had suddenly turned into a discussion about what to eat for dinner.
When I got back, I was still a little disoriented.
It wasn't until they entered the villa's courtyard and saw Liu Daniu repairing the gate that they connected the dots. They called over Li Han and said to him, "Cook dinner for the neighbors next door tonight, I'll help you."
Upon hearing this, Li Han's eyes lit up, and he quickly called Jerry over to discuss dinner.
When Jerry heard that he was going to cook for Chi Xia, he immediately perked up and insisted on adding a steamed sea bass dish: "If we don't eat sea bass soon, we'll get too thin."
Wang Erlong, who was overhearing this, expressed his dissatisfaction: "You'd rather fatten us up than feed us a few?"
Jerry didn't see anything wrong with it: "The bass were originally raised for Xiaxia, don't you also have crucian carp and grass carp to eat?"
Seeing his matter-of-fact manner, Wang Erlong almost choked.
After agreeing on the recipe, Li Han and Han Junche cooked the meal themselves.
Everyone was used to Li Han cooking, but Liu Daniu and the others had never seen Han Junche cook before. So, one by one, they took turns using the excuse of helping out to run into the kitchen to find out.
After discovering that Han Junche's skill level was no less than Li Han's, everyone immediately became envious.
Among them, Wang Dalong and Wang Erlong were the most prominent.
Wang Dalong said sourly, "Back when we were searching for supplies for Thunder Base with our boss, the most luxurious meal we had was instant noodles with an egg. Jerry was very stingy; he would only give us a steak once every ten days or so."
Lin Yi glanced at him and sighed softly, "I told you long ago, we're not good enough for each other."
Just as the meal was almost ready, Liu Daniu was sent next door to call someone.
Chunli didn't act tough this time. She patted her stomach, which hadn't been full since noon, and came out.
Chi Xia and Ran Zhu followed her, while Zhang Xin lagged behind, still looking somewhat hesitant.
Chi Xia turned around and grabbed her arm, whispering in her ear, "We can put other things aside for now. There's no need to make things difficult for your stomach, don't you think?"
Zhang Xin glanced at Chi Xia and slowly nodded.
To welcome Chi Xia and the others, Han Junche asked Qin Zhao and the others to tidy up the first floor.
While cleaning the house, Qin Zhao discovered another ingenious use of his wind-based superpower: creating a tiny tornado that, like a vacuum cleaner, would pick up the trash and dust, making it easier to dispose of.
This action left the men somewhat bewildered. After Qin Zhao finished, Lin Yi asked, puzzled, "I remember when we cleaned up T City, we brought back a lot of mopping robots, right? Why didn't we use those?"
Qin Zhao immediately felt that his previous actions were no longer so impressive.
The villa where Han Junche and his group stayed had a round Chinese-style dining table that could seat twelve people.
Lin Yi and the others specially left seats next to Chi Xia and Chun Li, with Zhang Xin and Ran Zhu sitting in the middle, and Qin Zhao even specially left the seat opposite Zhang Xin for Li Han.
A month later, the two groups sat down to eat together again, and there was still a bit of awkwardness between them.
Lin Yi coughed lightly and smiled at Chi Xia, saying, "Thanks to you, sister-in-law, we can finally try our boss's cooking today. Sister-in-law, would you like to guess which of these twelve dishes on the table were made by our boss?"
Chi Xia glanced at the dishes on the table, then named them without hesitation: "Stir-fried shredded pork with bamboo shoots, cucumber and wood ear mushrooms with sliced pork, braised tofu..."
