Chapter 220 - 206: It Really Is Red-Braised Pork
Being questioned, Li Xin’s face suddenly changed, and she felt aggrieved: "Brother Hongcheng, I’ve never cooked before. How could I handle such things as cooking? I have to shoot ads. What if I burn myself? How can I work then.""Why don’t you do it instead?"
Su Fengfeng: "Yeah, yeah, I also have to shoot ads. Besides, people like us, who doesn’t have a few maids at home? This is maid’s work."
"Brother Hongcheng, look at the Blue Team, they’re all guys cooking. You can’t make us two girls cook, can you?"
Huang Hongcheng: "..."
Being recorded by the camera, he could only fake a smile, not reaching his eyes, a mere skin-deep smile: "I was just joking with you."
"How could I make you two girls cook."
Eventually, Huang Hongcheng still went into the kitchen with Zhang Jian carrying stuff.
But Huang Hongcheng didn’t know how to cook.
Being recorded by the camera, he had no choice, so he, along with Zhang Jian, pretended to wash all the vegetables clean, then prepared to throw them all into the pot after putting it on the stove.
Zhang Jian saw this and quickly stopped him: "What are you doing?"
Huang Hongcheng: "Boiling them."
"Once it’s cooked, we can eat it, right?"
Zhang Jian: "..."
The corner of his lips twitched hard: "Without any taste, how can anyone eat it?"
Huang Hongcheng: "As long as it’s edible, that’s fine, otherwise, what can we do? Nobody knows how to cook."
Huang Hongcheng: "It’s better than going hungry."
Zhang Jian said: "I know how."
"Let me do it, but you need to help me out."
Hearing this, Huang Hongcheng agreed without a second thought.
The result was that Zhang Jian let him chop some vegetables.
Huang Hongcheng ended up cutting his nail.
Then he just quit.
In the end, he left everything to Zhang Jian and stood aside.
Seeing him like this, Zhang Jian didn’t plan to cook for them every meal.
So he used a little trick.
Since he was young, he had one flaw.
He particularly loved vinegar.
And he used a lot.
Seeing Huang Hongcheng standing there pretending, when in fact, he wasn’t even watching him cook.
Zhang Jian unscrewed the vinegar bottle, and on a plate of stir-fried shredded potatoes, he poured in one-third of the vinegar.
The sour odor immediately spread.
Zhang Jian’s lips curved up.
Delicious.
Huang Hongcheng smelled it too, frowned, and curiously asked him: "Did you pour too much vinegar?"
Zhang Jian earnestly: "No."
"How can you eat stir-fried shredded potatoes without vinegar?"
Huang Hongcheng nodded: "Makes sense."
Huang Hongcheng whispered: "Do a good job, my dad is the sponsor of this show. The Director has to listen to him; in the end, we’re sure to win."
Zhang Jian: "...."
Pretended not to hear.
An hour later.
The Blue Team’s dishes were finally ready.
Jiang Ruan and Chen Jiao’s stomachs were so hungry they stopped growling.
The two stopped playing games.
For a moment, they went to the kitchen, but before entering, they were chased out by Sun Yu.
Saying the smell of oil and smoke was strong, telling them to wait outside.
They asked what was being cooked.
Sun Yu looked mysterious, saying it was a secret, to give them a surprise.
This made Jiang Ruan and Chen Jiao feel helpless.
Now it was finally done.
Sun Yu carried out the dish with a lid, and the two suddenly stood up, rushing over.
Sun Yu thought they were welcoming him.
He smiled widely: "Wow, you’re so excited to see me?"
Instead, the two were staring at the dish, Chen Jiao: "Is it meat? I can smell the aroma of meat!"
Jiang Ruan: "Seems like braised pork, there’s a sweet scent."
Two little greedy cats.
Eyes shining while staring at the dish.
Sun Yu felt amused and helpless.
But still nodded: "You guessed right."
"It really is braised pork."
