Protagonist:

Lu Feng

Seeing that it was already past eleven, the eggs left in the kitchen had been reduced to almost none after Li Jiang's rough handling.

If he didn't speed up, who knew when lunch would be eaten.

"Next, you watch me cook it once first, and remember every step clearly."

Lu Feng worried Li Jiang would pull some bizarre stunt again; he didn't want to end up in the hospital because of Li Jiang's clumsiness.

For his own and Li Jiang's safety, Lu Feng felt it was more reliable to demonstrate the whole thing himself first.

"Fine! Fengzi, rest assured, I'll definitely learn well!"

Li Jiang knew his performance just now had been poor; standing to one side rubbing his hands, he nodded repeatedly.

Lu Feng picked up the oil cruet on the stove, and pale-yellow rapeseed oil was poured into the wok, coating the bottom.

After the oil in the wok heated for a while and the temperature gradually rose, Lu Feng tested the oil temperature with his hand, and when it was about right, he picked up the bowl of beaten eggs and poured it into the wok.

The golden egg liquid puffed up the moment it touched the hot oil, and the unique aroma of eggs wafted out of the wok.

Lu Feng held the spatula and stir-fried quickly twice; once the eggs were just fully set, he quickly scooped them out and put them on a plate for later use.

Immediately after, he poured some more oil into the wok; when the oil temperature came up, he added the cut tomato chunks and stir-fried quickly a few times.

The bright red tomatoes gradually softened in the hot oil, fresh red juice slowly seeped out, and a sour-sweet aroma rose with the steam.

Lu Feng pressed the tomatoes in the wok with the spatula to make the juice seep out faster.

Then he picked up the just-fried eggs and poured them back into the wok, stir-frying quickly.

In the wok, the golden egg chunks were coated with red juice; the aromas of tomato and egg intertwined, making one unable to help swallowing saliva.

"You have to watch the seasoning amounts clearly."

Lu Feng said while picking up the salt jar to one side, adding half a spoon of salt into it, then adding half a spoon of white sugar.

Afterwards he drizzled a little light soy sauce along the edge of the wok, then turned on high heat and stir-fried quickly a few times.

Finally he grabbed the chopped green onions on the chopping board, sprinkled them evenly into the wok, stir-fried twice more, turned off the fire, and took the dish out of the wok.

Lu Feng picked up the wok and quickly plated it into the prepared plate; the whole set of movements was smooth and flowing.

The tomato scrambled eggs in the plate were red and yellow interspersed, garnished with emerald green chopped green onions; the bright colors plus the tempting aroma made one unable to help but have a big appetite.

"How is it, did you see clearly?"

Lu Feng held up the cooked tomato scrambled eggs in front of Li Jiang and asked him.

During Lu Feng's cooking process, Li Jiang didn't blink once, only feeling that watching Lu Feng finish this plate of dishes looked not difficult at all.

Smelling the aroma of the tomato scrambled eggs in front of him, Li Jiang swallowed the disobedient saliva in his mouth, patted his chest, and said confidently and loudly: "I saw clearly! Isn't it just frying the eggs and tomatoes well, then mixing them together and seasoning? I've learned it!"

"Alright, you cook it once."

Seeing Li Jiang's confident appearance, Lu Feng stepped aside to make room.

Li Jiang first recalled Lu Feng's steps just now in his head, then loosened up his joints, and started cooking with a face full of confidence.

Lu Feng stood to one side, eyes fixed on Li Jiang's every movement.

Tomato scrambled eggs were themselves the simplest home-style dish; many people's first dish learned was this one.

Li Jiang's movements were a bit clumsy, but his memory was good; he remembered every movement of Lu Feng's cooking very clearly.

Under Lu Feng's explanation and reminders, he finally completed his first presentable tomato scrambled eggs in his life.

After turning off the fire and plating, Li Jiang let out a long breath, looking at the tomato scrambled eggs he cooked, his heart full of a sense of achievement.

Although what he cooked wasn't as appetizing as Lu Feng's, at least it was an edible dish.

Soon, two plates of cooked tomato scrambled eggs were served on the dining table.

Lu Feng's plate was brightly colored; fresh red tomato juice wrapped around golden egg chunks, plus emerald green chopped green onions as garnish, looking like a work of art.

Li Jiang's portion looked a bit sloppy, but still looked like normal tomato scrambled eggs.

"Fengzi, hurry and taste how my cooking tastes?"

Li Jiang impatiently sat down, pushed his portion toward Lu Feng, his expression nervous yet with a bit of excitement.

Lu Feng nodded, picked up chopsticks, and tasted a bite.

The flavor was a bit bland, and the eggs were fried a bit too long, lacking that soft and tender feel when eaten.

But compared to Li Jiang's previous dark cuisine, the flavor could be said to be completely transformed.

At least this plate of tomato scrambled eggs, by normal human taste buds, was passable.

"The flavor is not bad, edible."

Lu Feng put down his chopsticks, smiled at Li Jiang, then pointed out: "Next time when cooking, you can add another half spoon of salt; also when frying eggs, don't exceed ten seconds, that way it'll be more tender and delicious."

Li Jiang, upon hearing, immediately took out a small notebook from the drawer and carefully recorded Lu Feng's suggestions.

Afterwards he also sat down and tasted a bite of the tomato scrambled eggs he cooked himself.

The moment it entered his mouth, Li Jiang's face instantly showed an expression of disbelief: "Damn! Me, Li Jiang, actually one day can make such delicious food? I feel it's tastier than what my mom makes! Am I a genius?"

Lu Feng looked at his somewhat exaggerated expression and couldn't help but smile.

If Li Jiang could maintain today's level, tomorrow when Su Yue came to his home, at least she wouldn't be scared away by his cooking.

"Tomorrow you two can't just eat tomato scrambled eggs, right? I'll teach you to steam rice."

Lu Feng stood up and walked toward the kitchen; Li Jiang suddenly came to his senses and followed, trotting along.

Li Jiang this guy had an epiphany today; steaming rice itself was also very simple, and he quickly learned it.

At noon the two of them ate with two plates of tomato scrambled eggs, each eating two big bowls of rice; lunch was finally solved.

After finishing his meal, Lu Feng's mission for the day could be considered successfully completed; it was time to head back.

When leaving, Lu Feng was not relieved leaving Li Jiang alone at home to practice, and specifically gave him a few instructions: if he wanted to practice, he must have someone watching him.

He really did not want to wake up tomorrow morning and see his good brother's name in the social news.

Li Jiang naturally agreed without hesitation; anyway, he had already recorded the full video.

…………

In the blink of an eye, it was already Sunday night.

It was almost twelve o'clock; according to past custom, next week's mission was about to be released.

Lu Feng closed his eyes, soaking comfortably in the bathtub, his freshly washed hair still dripping with water droplets.

He was very satisfied with this two-week mission's reward, and didn't know what good things the system would reward him with next week.

Just as this thought arose, the next second a familiar voice sounded in his mind.

【Ding!】

【Next week's mission has been unlocked!】

Hearing the system's prompt sound, Lu Feng opened his eyes and sat up from the bathtub.
