“Wow, it smells so good!” Jiang Tao could smell the fragrance from afar. He asked, “Uncle Chen, what are you cooking? I can smell the fragrance of your cooking from a distance away.”

“Tao Zi, you’re finally here!” Uncle Chen smiled and said, “I didn’t cook anything special. I just made a few ordinary vegetarian dishes.”

“Then, this proves how good of a cook Uncle Chen really is!” Jiang Tao praised, “You said they are simple vegetarian dishes, but the fragrance travels for miles!”

“Haha. Tao Zi, you’re such a sweet-talker!” Uncle Chen laughed. “Come in and have a seat. Lingyu is already here.”

Jiang Tao walked in. When he saw Xiao Lingyu, he called out with a smile, “Lingyu!”

Gu Ziye and Wang Zhimin, who were eating raw tomatoes, saw Jiang Tao walk in. They wanted to greet him, but their mouths fell open.

Director Jiang, who was famous for being cold and ruthless, was being so friendly to a girl. This was too strange.

Xiao Lingyu answered, “Brother Jiang!”

Jiang Tao looked at Gu Ziye. “President Gu!”

Gu Ziye suddenly choked, and he coughed violently. ‘Brother Jiang?’

When he calmed down, he greeted Jiang Tao. “Chief Jiang!”

“Now that everyone is here, we can start eating!” Uncle Chen said. Auntie Chen served the dishes.

…

“These dishes are so delicious!” Gu Ziye’s chopsticks moved quickly. He was eating busily, but his eyes never stopped moving. “Wang Zhimin, how can you steal my braised eggplant? Give it back to me.” Gu Ziye moved to grab the last piece of eggplant.

Wang Zimin immediately put the eggplant into his mouth. He exclaimed, “I’ve never eaten such a delicious eggplant before. It’s soft, delicate, and fragrant.”

Gu Ziye was rather angry with Wang Zhimin’s act of defiance. He wanted to scold him but joining the ongoing food war was more important.

Uncle Chen made a braised eggplant, dried lentil beans, tomato fried egg, mushroom and cole salad, cabbage stewed tofu, fried green pepper with garlic sprouts, and sliced cucumber. They were all ordinary home-cooked dishes.

However, these ordinary dishes were being fought over by the six people present. Soon, the eight plates were empty. Gu Ziye even used the sauces to mix with his rice.

“That was so satisfying!” Gu Ziye rubbed his bulging belly, “Master Chen, your culinary skill has achieved a whole new light! Even your vegetarian dishes are so delicious!”

Wang Zhimin concurred, “Master Chen, if you got on the television’s Master Chef, you’d bring back the trophy so easily. Why don’t you go on that competition, Master Chen?”

Uncle Chen laughed loudly, “Haha, I knew you’d say that. But you’re wrong this time. My cooking skill hasn’t changed. The biggest contributor this time is the ingredients. Didn’t you smell their fragrance when I was cooking earlier? You only need to place them in the pot, and the fragrance will come out immediately.”

Gu Ziye and Wang Zhimin immediately caught Uncle Chen’s intention. They were excited as they asked, “Master Chen, where did you get the ingredients…”

Uncle Chen pointed at Xiao Lingyu and said, “Lingyu brought me these ingredients. You’ll have to ask her where she got them!”

Gu Ziye looked at Xiao Lingyu with a serious and sincere expression. He asked, “Miss Xiao, where did you get these vegetables?”
