Chapter 1232

What's going on here?

The moment Lin Cheng returned, he immediately caught the attention of the waiter at the door, who hurried over with a smiling face.

"Master Lin Cheng, you may not know this, but tea brewed from tea leaves has become a signature item of our restaurant. None of the other upscale restaurants in the city have it, so it's been drawing a steady stream of customers."

"I see. Are there any seats inside?" Lin Cheng understood.

Qianhui had sold the tea leaves to Sister Zhang — that was something he hadn't expected, but he didn't object.

He had indeed left some tea leaves with Qianhui back then, originally intending to have her get back into the milk tea business. Now that she was working with the restaurant, it wasn't a bad idea either.

"Hey, what kind of talk is that? Sister Zhang said that no matter when Master Lin Cheng comes back, the best private room will always be kept for you."

"Oh!"

Lin Cheng got to experience what the powerful and wealthy felt like — no reason at all, just VIP treatment.

"That's pretty nice. Have Miss Qianhui and the others eaten? If not, let's eat together."

"Probably not yet. Master, what would you like today? I'll have the kitchen prepare it."

"Just whip up something simple. I'm heading to the Guild this afternoon."

"Understood."

It wasn't long before Qianhui came in carrying dishes.

"Lin Cheng, come try my cooking."

Lin Cheng's spirits instantly lifted. He could hardly believe that Qianhui had actually cooked a meal for him herself.

"You made all of this?"

"Yes."

Qianhui nodded shyly, quickly arranging four small dishes on the table, and looked at him with eyes full of anticipation.

Lin Cheng looked at the four small dishes in front of him — simple home-style dishes, looking and smelling quite good, but he wasn't sure how they'd taste.

He picked up his chopsticks, took a bite of vegetables. The moment it touched his taste buds, a perfectly balanced salty flavor mingled with other seasonings spread across his mouth — the taste was surprisingly good.

"Not bad." After tasting one bite, Lin Cheng's worried heart relaxed.

As long as it wasn't dark cuisine, it was fine.

"That's good to hear."

Qianhui also breathed a sigh of relief. She had been busy since she got up in the morning, failing countless times, and finally, under Sister Zhang's guidance, learned to make these four dishes. Before bringing them out, she had even tasted them on purpose, afraid the flavor would be either too bland or too salty.

· ·······Please send flowers····· ·····

Sister Zhang said that to keep a man's heart, you must first conquer his stomach!

Qianhui agreed with this wholeheartedly, so she earnestly learned cooking knowledge from Sister Zhang.

Watching the person she loved eat the food she made — that feeling was as if she were the happiest person in the world.

"Why aren't you eating?"

As Lin Cheng ate, he noticed Qianhui didn't seem to be picking up her chopsticks.

"I'll eat after you're done."

Qianhui was a little hungry too, but she held back, afraid of snatching the dishes Lin Cheng liked away from him.

Little did she know, Lin Cheng was long used to fighting over food with Qianhui — for no other reason than that it tasted better that way.

"Wouldn't nothing be left then? Come on, eat. You worked hard cooking, you should taste your own handiwork." After Lin Cheng gently persuaded her, Qianhui nodded, and the two happily finished this warm lunch.

After the attendants cleared away the bowls and chopsticks, Lin Cheng half-reclined against the chair and suddenly looked at Qianhui. Qianhui sensed his gaze and unconsciously touched her own face, a little puzzled.

"Is there something on my face?"

"No, I was thinking — since you're learning to cook, should I give you my family recipe book? It has all the dishes I love."

"Family recipe book?" Qianhui's eyes lit up. She had been worrying that she only knew these four dishes, couldn't learn the more complicated ones, and wondered whether cooking the same four dishes again at night would make Lin Cheng think she only knew those four.

"Yes, yes, give it to me quick! Are there any simple but delicious dishes in it?"
