584 Arrogant to the Bones
âA fewâ¦â He Yuanyuan said.
âAre you trying to suffocate the boss?â
âSuffocate?â
âOf course.â He Yuanyuan said.
âThink about it. It will take at least a year from pregnancy to childbirth. If you want to give birth to a few children, the amount of private time he will have can be counted on two hands. I canât even stand it as a woman, let alone a man like him.â
âLetâs change the subject. Letâs not talk about this anymore.â
âYouâre already an adult. Why do you keep spouting such nonsense?â
âThis is something we all have to go through. Thereâs nothing to be embarrassed about.â
âItâs still not something to be discussed.â
He Yuanyuan rolled her eyes. It was really hard for her boss to meet a woman like her senior sister.
âMiss He, you guys can go out and wait. Mr. Lin and I will bring the fried rice out later. We need you guys to test it,â Deng Wenlin said.
âGot it, Master Deng.â
Ji Qingyan and He Yuanyuan sat down at the table. Coincidentally, they had not eaten lunch yet, so they were looking forward to it.
He Yuanyuan even took out two bottles of mineral water as if she was at home.
âSenior Sister, I think we should play a trick,â He Yuanyuan whispered.
âWhat do you mean?â
âYou should remember what the bossâs egg-fried rice looks like, right?â
âYes, I always eat it.â
âThatâs great. I remember what it looks like too.â He Yuanyuan said.
âWhen the egg fried rice is served later, no matter how delicious Master Dengâs cooking is, weâll say that the bossâ is more delicious. No matter what, we have to protect the bossâs image.â
âThatâs not a good idea.â
âWhatâs wrong with that?â He Yuanyuan said.
âAlthough the two of you havenât registered your marriage yet, your relationship has already been confirmed. When youâre outside, no matter what, you have to protect his identity and give him enough face. This is what a woman should do.â
âThatâs true, but you donât know Lin Yi.â
âHeâs actually a person who looks low-key on the outside, but is proud inside. If we cheat to help him defeat Master Deng, he wonât be happy either.â
âSo, should we just be honest?â
Ji Qingyan ran her fingers through her hair. âThatâs right. Letâs just tell the truth. Thereâs no need to overthink so much.â
âAlright, Iâll do as you say.â
Just as the two of them finished speaking, Deng Wenlin walked out with two plates of egg-fried rice.
One plate was golden yellow, while the other plate carried a light fragrance of the cooking sauce. They gave off completely different visual feelings.
As for Ji Qingyan and He Yuanyuan, they were immediately able to determine who had made which serving of egg-fried rice.
The golden egg fried rice must have been made by Lin Yi.
This was exactly the same as the egg-fried rice he had made in the past, except that there were a little more ingredients.
The other one was from Deng Wenlin.
âThese dishes were made by the two of us. Try both of them and see which tastes better.â
Because they had eaten Lin Yiâs cooking before, the two of them knew what it tasted like, so they planned to try Deng Wenlinâs cooking first.
He Yuanyuan took a spoon and tasted it. Just as she put it in her mouth, her eyes could not help but widen.
âOh my god, Senior Sister, quickly try it. This plate of egg-fried rice is super delicious. Itâs much better than the bossâs.â n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Because she still remembered the taste of Lin Yiâs cooking and the fact that Ji Qingyan had asked her to tell the truth, He Yuanyuan did not hide anything.
Her taste buds and intuition told her that Deng Wenlinâs egg-fried rice was much better than Lin Yiâs.
It could even be to be on a whole other level and could not even be compared.
This was the difference between the system rewards.
Lin Yiâs cooking skills were all obtained from the sageâs wisdom. His level was only comparable to that of chefs from ordinary restaurants.
Compared to ordinary housewives, their standards were naturally higher.
However, there a big difference when compared to a state banquet master like Deng Wenlin.
It was natural for He Yuanyuan to give such an evaluation.
âAre you exaggerating?â
Even though He Yuanyuan had told her the truth, Ji Qingyan felt that she had gone overboard.
It was just a plate of egg-fried rice. No matter how delicious it was, it was impossible for it to taste that good.
âSenior Sister, Iâm not fooling you. Youâll know after you try it.â
Ji Qingyan refused to believe it, so she picked up the spoon and had a taste.
Just like He Yuanyuan, the moment she put it in her mouth, she could taste the difference in the dish.
The taste was richer and the texture was more unique.
Rather than egg-fried rice, it was more like a whole other dish. Itâs texture greatly exceeded what was conventionally possible for egg-fried rice.
Ji Qingyan frowned slightly. It did taste much better than Lin Yiâs cooking.
Ji Qingyan gave Lin Yi a disheartened look.
âIt really does taste a little better than yours.â
Deng Wenlin looked at Lin Yi with a smile. This outcome was as he had expected.
The difference in skill between the two of them was not negligible. Thus, the dishes they made would naturally be very different.
He would not give them a chance to be biased.
âMr. Lin, actually, youâre good at cooking. At the very least, when I was your age, I hadnât reached this level yet. However, with my current level, my cooking is better than yours, so I advise you to change the price. The price of 189 yuan is indeed too high. Although there are many expensive ingredients inside, I think itâs more appropriate to price it at 88 or 98 yuan. I hope you can accept my suggestion.â
âThe competition hasnât ended yet. Why are you jumping to conclusions?â
Lin Yi pursed his lips. âAs an antagonist, you really didnât miss a single chance to mock me.â
âDidnât your two friends already say that the egg-fried riceI made is better than yours? Are you objecting to this result?â
âThey have indeed eaten my cooking before, but thatâs from before. This plate of egg-fried rice is different from before, so the taste will naturally be different.â
âBossâ¦â
He Yuanyuan said softly, âYour egg-fried rice might have some expensive ingredients in it, but this wonât affect the taste. Letâs not insist. With Master Dengâs standard, thereâs no shame in losing to him.â
He Yuanyuanâs words made sense.
Generally speaking, shredded meat fried rice and egg-fried rice were basically no different in taste. If the shredded meat was picked out, it would be the same as a plate of egg fried rice.
As a foodie, He Yuanyuan had a lot of experience in this subject.
âDonât be in a rush to comment. Taste it first.â
He Yuanyuan pursed her lips and thought to herself,
âYou really wonât turn back until you hit a concrete wall.â
Still, at the end of the day, he was her boss. He Yuanyuan gave him face and put a spoonful of rice into her mouth.
It was at this moment that He Yuanyuan felt that the entire world had lit up.
