With Mrs. Lin's guidance and help, Li Muhan quickly prepared the four dishes.
Seeing that he still had plenty of time, Li Muhan cooked what he is best at and what he likes to eat more: crispy pork.
Mrs. Lin stood aside, originally thinking that if it didn't work, she would do it herself and help her.
But after seeing Li Muhan's skillful operating techniques and his somewhat transparent appearance, he was surprised and immediately realized that this was obviously someone who cooked frequently and was definitely not a novice.
Although Mu Han would help a little before, I had never seen her cooking skills.
She also said she would do it for herself, but she didn't let her do it, and she didn't take it too seriously.
Seeing the dishes with all the colors, flavors and flavors perfectly presented under Li Muhan's cooking, Mrs. Lin couldn't be more happy.
Especially the little crispy pork that was made at the end. Just by smelling it, I knew it must be delicious. I didn’t expect this kid to hide it!
"Mu Han, I didn't expect your cooking skills to be so good. Have you often cooked before?"
When Li Muhan heard Mrs. Lin's question, he spoke back,
"I do it occasionally, but not often. Besides, my craftsmanship is not as good as yours, Aunt Lin. I'm just trying to do everything in front of you, so don't laugh at me!"
"Hey, you girl, are you kidding me? You still say these high-sounding words in front of me, you are really..."
"Haha, I was wrong, I was wrong, I won't tease you anymore, come on, help me try this little crispy meat, okay?"
Li Muhan took out a piece of crispy pork from the pot, cooled it for a while and then handed it to Mrs. Lin.
Mrs. Lin smiled and glared at Li Muhan, then took the crispy meat and took a small bite. After chewing it a few times, her eyes lit up instantly.
"Well, it's not bad. It's crispy and tender, refreshing and not greasy. That's good, Mu Han!"
Mrs. Lin ate the remaining half, and then said to Li Muhan,
"Okay, it's time to serve it out!"
"Okay, let's get it done!"
Li Muhan smiled with satisfaction. It had been a long time since he had cooked this dish, but fortunately his skills had not deteriorated.
Like the previous dishes, they were all served in small portions. This was for Mrs. Lin's dinner, and she made more of each dish.
"Today you will have a taste of my craftsmanship, don't dislike it!"
Li Muhan placed the separately served dishes on a tray and handed it to Mrs. Lin.
"You kid, you're still teasing me, right?"
Li Muhan quickly explained no, and then looked at the clock. It was almost six o'clock, and Gu Chengyan should be back soon.
He gets home almost a quarter past six every day,
"Aunt Lin, help me bring out all these dishes, I guess we'll be home soon!"
"good!"
The two of them placed the prepared dishes on the table one by one, then sat aside, waiting for Gu Chengyan to come back.
But they never thought that the two of them waited until 7:30 in the evening and did not wait for Gu Chengyan to come back.
"Mu Han, why don't you just eat first? The young master may have something to do at the company or has some temporary entertainment, so he won't be back until later."
"Just wait a little longer. If you haven't come back by eight o'clock, we won't wait!"
Li Muhan sat on the sofa, looking at the dishes on the dining table that had been covered with a heat-insulating cover, and felt a little disappointed for no reason.
I finally thought of making a meal as a way to express my gratitude, but I didn't expect that it would end like this.
What a...failure!
Li Muhan couldn't help but sigh, thinking, if it doesn't work, then thank him in other ways next time!
But you have to think about it more carefully!
The TV in the living room was on, playing a popular variety show, but neither Li Muhan nor Sister Lin watched it.
Finally, when the clock reached 7:45, the sound of a car engine came from the door. Not long after, Gu Chengyan opened the door and walked in.
Li Muhan and Mrs. Lin both stood up, and Mrs. Lin spoke up first,
"Master, you are back!"
Then he stepped forward and took the suit that Gu Chengyan took off and the briefcase in his hand.
Li Muhan didn't speak, but when Gu Chengyan finished changing his shoes and walked into the living room, he found that his face was a little haggard, and there was still a lingering sadness between his eyebrows.
Could it be that something happened to the company?
When I saw him walking in, I said as usual,
"I'm home!"
Nothing else was said after that. She didn't ask if something had happened, nor did she mention the food.
But if she doesn't mention it, someone will always mention it.
After Mrs. Lin put away her suit and briefcase, she couldn't help but say when she came back,
"Master, you are finally back. Mu Han specially cooked today and made a few dishes to express his gratitude to you. Look, the dishes are still warm there!"
When Gu Chengyan heard this, he turned to look at the restaurant. Sure enough, he saw the food covered with a heat-insulating cover on the dining table. Then he turned back to Li Muhan with some surprise.
"You did it?"
"Yeah, I want to thank you for helping me write my thesis during this time.
I don’t know how to express my gratitude, so I just thought of cooking some of your favorite dishes.
This is more practical, and it is better to do what you want.
But by this time, you must have eaten, right? "
"not yet!"
Gu Chengyan said immediately, and then turned around and walked towards the restaurant, with a surprised expression on his face.
Li Muhan's behavior really surprised him!
He reached out and opened the heat preservation cover. Inside were four dishes and one soup, which looked very good and very appetizing.
Mrs. Lin stepped forward, took away the protective cover, then took out the bowls and chopsticks, and said to Gu Chengyan while serving rice,
"Mu Han has been busy all afternoon. Seeing that you haven't come back, he has to wait for you to come back before eating!"
Gu Chengyan heard these words as soon as he sat down and looked up at Li Muhan who had already walked over.
"You haven't eaten yet?"
This was something he didn't expect at all!
Li Muhan went to Mrs. Lin's side to serve the meal, and then returned half-jokingly,
"The protagonist hasn't come back yet. I'll eat first. What a shame. This is a thank you banquet!"
He turned around and placed the plate of rice in front of Gu Chengyan, then reached out to the bottom of the plate with several dishes.
Although it was covered with an insulating cover, it was still a little cold and only felt warm to the touch.
"It's a little cold, let me heat it up again!"
After saying that, he was about to take him away, but was stopped by Gu Chengyan.
"Don't bother, sit down and eat, it's getting late!"
"Oh well!"
Li Muhan sat down as he was told.
Mrs. Lin left after serving the meal, leaving only Li Muhan and Gu Chengyan in the living room.
After taking a bite of each dish, Gu Chengyan's eyes suddenly brightened up.
“The taste is very good and the craftsmanship is very good!”
"The main thing is that Aunt Lin is there to guide me!"
In fact, the taste has deteriorated a lot, which is a bit of a pity.
Gu Chengyan actually guessed that Li Muhan's cooking skills were good the last time he had noodles, but he didn't expect that he would be so good.
If it wasn't a little cold and it took a long time, these dishes would definitely be more delicious.
Originally, he just wanted to deal with him briefly and live up to Li Muhan's wishes.
But now he has a big appetite, especially the little crispy pork. It tastes very good and he likes it very much.
"Next time, don't wait so late. Eat on time."
Gu Chengyan spoke specifically during the meal break, and Li Muhan nodded after listening.
After Li Muhan thought about it in his heart, he still asked,
"Did you encounter any problems at work?"
Gu Chengyan was not surprised that Li Muhan would see it.
After getting along with each other for this period of time, he discovered that Li Muhan was actually very good at observing people's emotions, so when he saw her asking, he didn't hide it.
"Something happened, so I came back a little late today."
"It will be solved!"
"Um!"
It was a very simple conversation, and neither of them spoke again after that.
First, Gu Chengyan doesn’t like to talk too much when eating;
The second was those words of encouragement or encouragement. Li Muhan thought that Gu Chengyan must know more than she did.
And what he needs now is more practical things, such as solutions, rather than empty words.
