Chapter 7
Star Chef Level
After more than an hour, it was 6:01 p.m.
Chu Ning turned off the old-fashioned cooking hood and closed the valve of the gas stove. Finally, she took off her apron and let out a long sigh of relief.
“Barbecued pork in honey sauce, braised pork liver with soy sauce, fried eggs with chives, shredded potatoes in vinegar, raw cucumber with cold sauce, all done!”
Before Chu Ning could serve the dishes, everyone had already smelled their fragrance in the living room. However, when she actually presented the dishes one by one in front of them, they were still shocked…
Even the usually calm Eldest Brother was internally dumbfounded. If he didn’t know that this biological sister in front of him had been pampered since she was young, he would wonder if she had previously studied to be a chef…
“This is…”
Everyone saw an incredulous expression in each other’s eyes… Among them, the fourth son of the Chu family stood out the most. When he saw Chu Ning calmly walking back and forth to the kitchen, serving dishes one after another, he was even more shocked.
The scene in front of him was like that of a sci-fi movie.
“Sorry to keep you waiting. Everyone, go wash your hands. The rice is ready too. You guys can eat that first.”
Chu Huan looked at Chu Ning in shock and doubt. Then, he directly leaned in front of the dishes and smelled them.
“You win.”
Chu Huan could not be picky anymore when he was face to face with the real finished product. He could only obediently wash his hands and prepare to eat.
“Hey, Dad, Mom, where are Fifth Brother and Sixth Brother? Aren’t they coming home for dinner tonight?” Chu Ning asked with a sweet smile.
“Erm, Xiao Ning, you may not know this, but your fifth and sixth brothers haven’t been home for more than half a month… Although, they still call Dad and Mom every two days. It’s okay, don’t worry about them,” Chu Zhe explained awkwardly.
“What about Third Brother?” Chu Ning thought of her biological brother who was largely similar to her. He was destined to be a well-known celebrity in the future.
“Oh, him, he’ll know when to come back tonight. You won’t be able to find him at this time.”
At this time, Chu Hang’s voice came from the bathroom.
“Oh, oh, then I’ll leave a plate of food for Third Brother to heat up so he can eat it when he’s back.”
“Tsk, what’s there to be pretentious about?” Chu Huan cursed in his heart.
“Today, it’s my daughter, Xiao Ning’s first time in eighteen years that she’s returned to her own home. Xiao Ning, let Dad toast you!”
Chu Ming stood up with a serious expression. He raised the cup filled with fruit juice in his hand and raised it in Chu Ning’s direction.
“Dad, you’re being too polite…”
Following this, Chu Ning’s mother and her three brothers at home toasted her as well. Even though Chu Huan was unwilling, he had no choice. He had to put on a show.
“Mom, we didn’t have much honey in the house, so I just used sugar to make this braised pork with honey. The taste might be bad. How about you try it? Give me some advice… I didn’t find the usual brand of soy sauce for this braised pork liver with soy sauce. If I had used that brand, the texture might have been better…”
Chu Ning said regretfully as she ate.
If she had had sufficient time to prepare the ingredients, she could have even prepared a table full of western food for the whole family…
“That’s enough, that’s enough. Xiao Ning, I think your cooking is even better than Mom’s. “The eldest brother, Chu Zhe, was not stingy with his praise.
“It’s… Delicious!” The second brother, Chu Jing, echoed.
Chu Huan was the only one who could only eat without saying anything… He knew that he had lost the first time they fought. He had lost completely.
Despite all the possibilities, he had not expected her to show this hand. If she only knew how to cook, he could still use the fact that it was not delicious as an excuse to find fault. However, even with the situation at home, she was still able to turn these limited ingredients into such delicious dishes, which was already very extreme… Moreover, Chu Ning’s cooking was indeed delicious.
After dinner.
“Dad, Mom, Big Brother and Second Brother, I’ll go for a walk since I’m full.”
After Chu Huan had finished eating, he greeted everyone and left.
“Look at this child, he didn’t even greet Xiao Ning.”
Mother Chu shook her head helplessly.
Chu Ning didn’t mind. At the moment, she just needed to perform well. As time passed, her fourth brother Chu Huan would know what kind of person Ye Ting was.
