Chapter 854

"Teacher San Lei, have you figured it out? Are you sure Ning Chen did this?"

Li Ying voiced a series of doubts.

"Of course, no mistake. The scallion segments and minced garlic made by Ning Chen have a burnt taste."

A mistake had turned into good fortune.

It was simply great luck.

Li Ying picked up another piece of fish with her chopsticks and ate it, not expecting the taste to be even better.

Now she had nothing to say.

Ning Chen sat at his seat, hesitating without picking up his chopsticks.

Teacher San Lei quickly noticed this problem as well.

"Why aren't you eating, Ning Chen? Is it that the food I made today doesn't suit your taste?"

Facing the question, Ning Chen hurriedly woke from his reverie.

"How could that be, how could that be? I love the dishes Teacher San Lei makes the most."

"If you love it, then eat quickly."

Smiling to ease the awkward atmosphere, he then picked up the bowl and chopsticks in his hand and started eating.

Ning Chen only ate Teacher San Lei's pickled fish; his own had not been touched at all from start to finish.

And the braised eggplant, every bite soft, glutinous, and sweet; Ning Chen loved this crispy and delicious feeling too much.

"How did you make this braised eggplant, Teacher San Lei? It is simply a delicacy of the human world."

It turned out that Lin Yi shared the same preference as Ning Chen, but his carefree personality could not hide his love for the braised eggplant.

He spoke up, and everyone laughed.

"If it's delicious, eat more; I'll make another portion for you this afternoon."

Lin Yi nodded excitedly, and although Ning Chen showed no reaction on the surface, he was also very excited inside.

After all, this braised eggplant was his favorite too.

【Watching them eat, why do I feel so appetized? Besides Ning Chen, I love watching Lin Yi the most!】

【No one can stop my love for Ning Chen; wait until this afternoon and I'll try the pickled fish made by Ning Chen.】

【Did you see the recipe clearly? We should call for Ning Chen to post the recipe online for our reference.】

The loudest voice in the live stream was calling for Ning Chen's exclusive pickled fish recipe.

They had even started voting, and the option with the most votes was to have Ning Chen post the recipe online.

Ning Chen noticed it immediately, but now it was mealtime, so he couldn't do so many outrageous things.

After everyone finished eating, Ning Chen finally stood up and prepared to clear the bowls and chopsticks.

But Ning Chen was pulled away by Teacher San Lei.

"Let them clear up first; let the two of us talk about the pickled fish."

Ning Chen was very confused.

"Teacher San Lei, I think this method for making pickled fish needs to be uploaded to the internet."

Hearing Ning Chen's sudden words, Teacher San Lei also nodded.

The two went to the second floor and sat face-to-face on the bed.

"Do you think some things, when just right, are not so perfect?"

Ning Chen understood that what Teacher San Lei was talking about were those scallion segments and minced garlic.

"Maybe, but these depend on the occasion, Teacher San Lei."

After just two sentences of conversation, Teacher San Lei found an opportunity and left.

Watching Teacher San Lei leave, Ning Chen began to busy himself with his own method.

After a period of busyness, the method was finally uploaded, but Ning Chen had added a note.

"This dish was indeed made by me, but perfection still depends on Teacher San Lei; I just messed it up, which can also be considered an innovation."

This unconventional praise for Teacher San Lei also received enthusiastic approval from everyone.

【Ning Chen is so good to us; I must try this pickled fish method and taste.】

【I want to innovate too; maybe I can make something even more perfect.】

【Ning Chen's spirit of not forgetting his roots is worth learning from.】

After Ning Chen posted it, everyone in the live stream went into a frenzy.

After posting, he came to the second floor and found only Lin Yi and Teacher San Lei sitting on the sofa.

"Where are the others? Why is it only the two of you?"

The two, who had been looking at their phones, turned their heads to look at Ning Chen.

"At this time, everyone is probably taking a nap; the two of us can't sleep."

Ning Chen showed a smile.

Facing the two, Ning Chen didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Let the three of us go out for a walk; anyway, we can't sleep."

Teacher San Lei directly suggested going out.

And since Ning Chen already didn't know what to say, he quickly agreed.

"Okay, Teacher San Lei; I'm bored too."

Lin Yi also expressed his deepest thoughts.

After communicating well, the three didn't waste much time with words but walked straight out of the Mushroom House.

On this path, the noon temperature was moderate, and the air blowing over was very fresh.

It made one feel as if they were truly immersed in the experience.

"This feeling is too wonderful to describe in words."

Lin Yi seemed never to hold back his words, but revealed everything.

Did Ning Chen and Teacher San Lei both smiled, offering no further reply.

This feeling was not something only Lin Yi could sense.

All three were lost in it when suddenly a tricycle appeared, honking its horn.

Breaking the tranquil immersion, the sudden change made the three quickly move aside to avoid the tricycle's path.

"Walking on the road like this is indeed not good; if passing vehicles are moving too fast, accidents are likely."

Yet this was merely Teacher San Lei's one-sided view, as the three still stood in the middle of the road.

Very few vehicles traveled at this hour; even if any appeared, they were only tricycles or electric scooters.

The chance of a sedan appearing was very small.

"What do you three want to eat tonight?"

To ease the boring, awkward atmosphere, Teacher San Lei started a conversation out of nowhere.

"Of course it's braised eggplant, Teacher San Lei. Didn't you say you'd make braised eggplant for me?"

Teacher San Lei smiled.

"Actually, I wanted you two to say something else; braised eggplant will definitely be made tonight."

Did Ning Chen thought for a long time but could not come up with a you, me, or him.

"What does Did Ning Chen want to eat?"

At the sudden question, Did Ning Chen did not know how to answer for a moment.

"Look, there's a puppy ahead."

Thinking Did Ning Chen was joking, they were about to make a quip but then saw there was indeed a puppy ahead.

Did Ning Chen truly had to thank this puppy for rescuing him from the awkward situation.

Stepping closer to look, the puppy seemed very young, merely a pup.

"Who could be so cruel as to abandon such a small puppy?"

"This little one looks hungry at first glance."

However, none of the three had any food on them; how could one bring food out for a stroll?

"Let's take him back with us."

As soon as Teacher San Lei said this, Lin Yi immediately picked up the puppy, fearing someone might snatch it from him.

After lifting it, he hurried straight toward the Mushroom House behind them.

"Run slowly; don't fall."
