Chapter 9: E-Class Cuisine

  Shangguan Neng's family, Shangguan Yi and Li Xinhong (Shangguan Yi's mother, mentioned once before, didn't forget, did you? ^_^) were busily cleaning the house.

  "Husband, quickly wipe the windowsill clean, our son is coming back." Old mother wiped the furniture with one hand and wiped the hot sweat on her face with the other, not forgetting to urge Officer Yu to hurry up.

  Shangguan Yi silently wiped the window, a surge of resentment in his heart: You little brat, taking your female classmate out to eat, making me spend money and effort, just you wait and see how I'll deal with you!

  After going to high school, Shangguan Nengren became addicted to the internet and never brought classmates home again. This time, not only did he bring someone over, but it was also a female classmate, a first in history!

  Thinking that my son is already 18 (virtual age), but he has never had a good relationship with girls, it's really worrying for his mom! Although my younger brother's family has an adopted daughter who has been a backup for my son all these years, the two kids have a good relationship, but over the years, it has always been a purely fraternal relationship, without any spark. As the child grows older day by day, saying that I'm not anxious is false.

  Now it's all right, my son has finally grown up and wants to bring his female classmate home for dinner. Although I don't know what this girl looks like or what her temperament is like, as long as she's more or less okay, a mother's heart will be happy.

  "Honey, are you done? Wipe it clean and throw away the trash, don't let our son's classmates get a bad impression."

  Shangguan Yi: "......"

  It was just past twelve thirty when Shang Guan Neng brought Xiang Beibei back, and for some reason, Xiang Beibei actually helped Shang Guan Neng carry two bags of things. In the past, this would have been unimaginable.

  "Dad, Mom." As soon as they entered the house, they saw their parents sitting in the living room. Shang Guan Nian hurried over, with Bei Bei following closely behind him.

  When they arrived in front of them, Shang Guan Nengren stepped forward and introduced: "Dad, Mom, this is my classmate Xiang Beibei. Xiang Beibei, these are my dad and mom."

  "Wow..." Seeing BeiBei's appearance, Xiang GuanYi and his mother both took a deep breath: "What a beautiful girl, even more stunning than movie stars."

  Bowing slightly with a hint of shyness, yet still appearing carefree and big-hearted, she smiled and nodded: "Hello Uncle, hello Auntie."

  "Ah! Alright!" Magistrate Yu and his mother hastily nodded in agreement, but both of them felt somewhat disappointed in their hearts.

  Alas! Such a good kid, must look down on my son, got excited for nothing.

  It seemed to have sensed the emotional changes of the two elders, turned to Beibei and thought for a moment, smiling: "Uncle and aunt, first time visiting, didn't bring anything, really sorry."

  Both parents burst out laughing. Mother laughed and said, "You're such a clever child! We didn't come for a blind date, what's the point of bringing gifts? Just coming is enough, quick, sit down and have some peaches."

  Mother pulled Xiang Bei to sit down and handed her a clean water peach.

  "Thank you, Auntie and Uncle! You have some too!" Bèibei threw a peach back at them. Although the peaches were originally from their own home, her parents were still very pleased, thinking that Bèibei was polite and knew how to behave, much better than their son.

  Satisfied, he looked at Baobei and thought to himself, "This outfit isn't bad either. It's simple and straightforward, just looking at it makes you feel like it's for everyday life. Not like those young girls nowadays, one is more revealing than the other, they have to lift their skirts to show off their underwear."

  Parents are more and more likable, but the more they like, the more lost.

  Alas! Son, Mom and Dad owe you an apology! If only our family had a bit more money, this daughter-in-law would have been ours.

  Having seen too many cases of people looking down on the poor and fawning over the rich in society, Beibei's parents didn't dare to have high hopes for her. In their opinion, a girl like Beibei would definitely marry into a prestigious family in the future, or at the very least, marry a millionaire.

  The son is too ordinary, although he has changed a lot in the past month, but compared to BeiBei, they are still not on the same level, wanting to be a couple is difficult, as difficult as ascending to heaven.

  Seeing her parents chatting with Baby, Shangguan Nian'er picked up the dishes and said, "You guys chat, I'll go cook."

  "Get up quickly, I'll help you."

  "Let him go!" Mother pulled Bei Bei down to sit, smiling: "Guests are guests, how can we let them cook? Chat with Aunt for a while." Turning her head to look at Shang Guan Neng Ren: "Go quickly, don't starve your classmate."

  Shangguan Nian sighed and said, "I understand."

  Like almost every family, those with boys like girls; those with girls like boys. Whatever they lack is what they desire. The officials and the wealthy have been spoiled for over a decade, their parents are fed up, and they've always wanted a daughter, but raising a child costs too much, so they're willing but unable. They place all their hopes on their future daughters-in-law. Now that they've met Xiang Beibei, who is both beautiful and sensible, it's truly a rare encounter. Even if she can't be their daughter-in-law, it won't stop them from liking and being affectionate towards her.

  "Brother's sorrow you don't understand, sister you're just copying... " Humming a sad song, Shangguan Neng slipped into the kitchen with a lonely look.

  This morning, when going to class to absorb other subjects' abilities, Shangguan Nengren unexpectedly absorbed E-level cooking skills from a silly big guy. His dad owns a restaurant and it's said that the silly big guy, due to poor studies, will take over his father's business after graduating high school and work in the restaurant. Fortunately for Shangguan Nengren, he got the cooking skills at no cost.

  The E-class culinary skills are just different, although the cuisine has been constantly evolving, but in the future of more than 2,000 years, from a technical perspective, even top chefs are not much higher than modern top chefs, at most they understand more cooking methods and have some more dishes than now, but there is not much progress in culinary skills.

  So in the big category of Food God, even if Shangguan Changan reaches S-level, it's probably just one level higher than a national special-grade chef. E-level cooking skills are equivalent to an ordinary restaurant chef, not particularly delicious but still quite good.

  Finely chop the green peppers and carrots, also cut the beef into thin strips. The ingredients for this fish-flavored shredded meat dish are now ready.

  Peel the eggplant again, cut it into pieces, and cut some meat slices. These are the ingredients for braised eggplant.

  Tomatoes and cucumbers, stir-fry tomatoes with eggs, and make a cold dish of cucumber salad.

  The onions specially selected by Beibei are also delicious after being stir-fried.

  The remaining peanuts, fried and eaten with eggs, cut the steamed buns into slices, dipped in egg and fried in a pot of oil, fragrant and golden, just looking at it makes you hungry.

  The first time using E-level culinary skills to cook, still ask Beibei and Shangguan Nengren to do their best to achieve perfection.

  In the living room, the parents were chatting with Beibei very happily. Beibei's A-level smile hid a sharp tongue and many thoughts. She was best at observing people's words and expressions, and with just a few sentences, she could make her parents laugh so hard that they wished they could take her home to raise themselves.

  But the more they discover Bébé's 'goodness', the more painful it is for her parents.

  What a good girl! Why can't our unlucky son have this blessing? If this child could be our daughter-in-law in the future, even if only for one day, we would die with our eyes closed.

  Liu Xiang fell, and the author's Achilles tendon hurt overnight, couldn't squat down to use the toilet, couldn't eat, lacked energy, bones ached vaguely, didn't dare blow wind, was stuck in the house, broke out in a cold sweat, bones didn't ache anymore, but Achilles tendon still hurt, how strange is that? Why is it like this?

  Thank you 'Hidden Dragon' for rewarding 588 starting coins, 'Xin You Yi Jiao' voted 7 rush tickets, okay! I'll definitely eat it tomorrow.
