Meng Chuyuan quickly arranged a new job for Lu Jinsen upon seeing that he had given the job of picking shrimp threads to someone else.
“Break those eggs, then wash the conch.”
Lu Jinsen softly replied with an ‘oh’. After washing the bowl, he began to crack the eggs and stir them.
[Sister Meng: I can’t let you be idle.]
[Young Master thought that he could slack off because he had errand boys. But it turns out that he was one of the errand boys too. Hahahaha.]
[Sister Meng: I haven’t even started slacking yet. It’s impossible for you.] [Why does that ‘oh’ sound so funny? It’s so obedient.]
[With Sister Meng around, everything is orderly and organized. I feel so safe and secure.]
After Ting Jiu and Luo Yunzhou finished dealing with the shrimps, Meng Chuyuan’s garlic vermicelli scallops were ready.
Meng Chuyuan steamed the crab, boiled the conch, and finally made kelp tofu soup and abalone rice.
Every time Meng Chuyuan was cooking, the number of people in the live-stream soared very quickly.
Due to the small space in the kitchen, Tingjiu and Luo Yunzhou did not stay in the kitchen. However, they could smell the strong fragrance from outside the door.
Through their expressions of enjoyment, the audience seemed to have already smelt that fragrance.
They only had one last dish left – scrambled eggs with shrimp. After that, they could start eating.
Meng Chuyuan had already peeled and marinated the shrimps beforehand. Then, she handed the dish to Lu Jinsen to cook.
Lu Jinsen stood there, not knowing what to do. He lowered his head and looked at the plate of shrimps and eggs, not knowing which to cook first.
He hesitated for a while. In the end, he could not help but ask Meng Chuyuan for advice. “Which one should I fry first?”
“Fry the prawns first, stir them until they change color then pour them into the egg mixture. After that, stir-fry them again for a while more, then pour them into the pot.”
Lu Jinsen was still a little hesitant after hearing this. He looked up at Meng Chuyuan and said, “Why don’t you do it?”
“Was my explanation unclear just now? Which step didn’t you understand?”
Actually, he still had some concerns.
Because Ting Jiu and Luo Yunzhou were staying for dinner, wouldn’t it be embarrassing if he didn’t make the shrimp with scrambled eggs dish well later?
“Why? Are you afraid of embarrassing yourself?” Meng Chuyuan saw that he was distracted and could roughly guess what he was thinking.
When Lu Jinsen heard her say this, he clearly felt a little exposed.
[I was wondering why Young Master suddenly became awkward. So it’s because he’s afraid of embarrassing himself.]
[This is a famous scene. I can see Young Master’s scared expression in this.
Pfft, hahaha.]
[Sister Meng, you’re really a god. You can tell what Lu Jinsen is thinking from his every move and every expression.]
[It’s fine. It’s just a small scrambled egg with shrimp. How could it possibly stump you?]
[With Sister Meng around, there’s definitely no problem. Young Master, don’t worry. She’ll make the measurements for the ingredients clear to you right down to how much salt you should put into the dish.]
[He’s too cute. this young master. This is reminding me of when my younger brother just learned how to cook.]
However, when he thought about how Tingjiu and Luo Yunzhou did not know how to cook, his confidence slowly returned.
Lu Jinsen began to follow Meng Chuyuan’s instructions. He poured cooking oil into the pot and stir-fried the prawns. Once they were cooked, he scooped them up and mixed them into the egg mixture.
“Use your chopsticks to turn the egg-shrimp mixture slowly later, just until the egg is cooked.”
Before pouring the egg-shrimp mixture back into the pot, Lu Jinsen suddenly hesitated. “What if it burns?”
“The oil is all over the pot. It won’t burn.”
While he was hesitating, Meng Chuyuan had already poured the shrimp and egg mixture into the pot for him.
After the shrimps and eggs were out of the pot, everyone could finally sit down and eat.
Ting Jiu and Luo Yunzhou had rushed over to film the variety show as soon as they got off the plane. They had not eaten breakfast and it was not easy for them to last until now.
Initially, they thought that Meng Chuyuan would make a few simple home-cooked dishes. However, after the abalone rice was served, their meal had suddenly become a lush one.
“It’s so sumptuous.” Luo Yunzhou’s eyes widened.
Meng Chuyuan smiled and said, “I’ll have to thank you for the ingredients.”
Although they had exchanged for a variety of ingredients, the quantity of each ingredient was actually quite little.
As they did not earn much labor coins themselves, the price of seafood was still considered to be relatively higher for them. Since the production team was unwilling to lower the price of seafood, the guests could only adjust their purchase quantity accordingly.
After Ting Jiu sat down, he tasted one mouth of the tempting abalone rice. Plump rice grains were immersed in the thick soup, and the taste was excellent.
Ting Jiu let out a ‘wow’, his eyes were filled with surprise. “Sister Chuyuan, your culinary skills are really amazing.”
“Eat slowly. I have enough food.”
It was Luo Yunzhou’s first time interacting with Meng Chuyuan. At first, he felt a little embarrassed to come over for dinner, but he realized that Meng Chuyuan was quite easy to get along with. He did not expect her to cook so well.
Seeing that everyone was praising Meng Chuyuan’s culinary skills, Lu Jinsen frowned slightly. He picked up his chopsticks and silently ate the scrambled egg with shrimps that he had made.
Lu Jinsen took a bite of the scrambled egg with shrimps. The texture was tender and smooth, and the taste was just right.
The scrambled egg with shrimps he made this time actually didn’t fail!
To Lu Jinsen, it was a success if the food was cooked and the taste was palatable.
Lu Jinsen’s gaze suddenly landed on Ting Jiu. Then, he promoted his dishes to him. “Do you want to try the scrambled egg with shrimps?”
[Seeing Young Master like this, if he dares to recommend his dish to Ting Jiu, it must mean that he did well this time.]
[This guy can’t hide anything. It’s written all over his face. Hahaha.]
[From what I see, Sister Meng has contributed the most to ensuring that Lu
Jinsen, this noob, doesn’t fail in anything he makes.]
[I’m hungry. I can smell the fragrance of food through the screen.] [If Young Master dares to speak, it means that this scrambled egg with shrimps is not a scary dish.]
When Ting Jiu heard this, he saw that the scrambled egg with shrimps looked pretty good, so he wavered.
“Okay, I’ll try it.”
Lu Jinsen was afraid that it would be inconvenient for him to pick up the plate since he sat too far away, so he took the initiative to bring it over.
Meng Chuyuan looked up and happened to see this scene. However, she had personally tasted and passed the dish, so there was no big problem.
Ting Jiu thanked him, then reached out with his chopsticks to pick up the scrambled egg and put it into his mouth.
“How is it?” Lu Jinsen asked impatiently.
Ting Jiu chewed on the shrimp and said seriously, “It doesn’t taste bad.”
Joy flashed across Lu Jinsen’s eyes when he heard that. He glanced at Ting Jiu and could not help but say, “You’re very lucky. This is my first time making this dish, and you’re the first to eat it.”
“Really?” Ting Jiu was extremely excited, he looked at Lu Jinsen in disbelief. Then, he tasted another piece to confirm the taste just now.
Ting Jiu suddenly turned his head to look at Luo Yunzhou and said, “Brother Sen said that this is his first time making scrambled eggs with shrimps. Come and try it and see if he’s bragging.”
[I’m dying of laughter. These two can’t be more than three years old, right?]
[Ting Jiu can you please manage your expression a bit? You’re a public figure after all.]
[Let’s not talk about Ting Jiu’s exaggerated reaction. Even I don’t believe that Lu Jinsen made this dish, but he has Sister Meng by his side. Thinking about it again, I think I can believe it..]
