Chapter 622 The Magic of Love
Facing a table of dishes, Jiang Qilan held up his chopsticks, not knowing what to pick.
Cheng Ling told him that she would hide the fact that she was good at cooking - but looking at the food on the table that had no color at all - was she trying too hard to hide it?
Jiang Qilan picked up the chopsticks, hesitated for a moment, picked up a piece of brown braised pork, and put it in his mouth.
The moment the braised pork entered his mouth, Jiang Qilan was stunned.
He had to use all his restraint not to stare.
This is so... so delicious!
Until the last second, he was still feeling sorry for the two wasted hours - but at this moment, all the regret and distress in his heart turned into happiness!
I almost missed such delicious braised pork!
Jiang Qilan can definitely say that this is definitely the most delicious food he has ever eaten in his life.
The thick sauce is immersed in the smooth and plump pork belly, which is stewed until it is extremely soft. When you gently squeeze it with your lips and teeth, the meaty aroma instantly fills your mouth.
What’s even more rare is that it is fragrant but not greasy, smooth but not greasy, the taste is mellow and mellow, and the taste buds are greatly satisfied——
He couldn't even bear to swallow it, but his throat sent the delicious food to his stomach uncontrollably.
The surrounding servants couldn't help showing disgusted expressions——
That lump of brownish-red looking stuff had no scent at all.
I really don’t know how the owner endured the nausea and swallowed this kind of thing, and also boasted without conscience: “I didn’t expect that my sweetheart is so beautiful and the food is so delicious!”
——Look, what kind of sacrifices their master has made for love!
Cheng Ling showed a proud expression after being praised, trying to be reserved but unable to control it: "Hey, is it true? My cooking skills are limited, and I haven't cooked for a long time, so I feel quite unfamiliar - luckily I didn't mess it up. Mr. Fang, please try this grilled crispy yellow croaker with onion flavor. It’s delicious when it’s hot.”
With that said, Cheng Ling moved the plate of yellow croaker piled with chopped green onions in front of Jiang Qilan——
The poor yellow croaker was badly beaten and looked like it was dead. There were chopped green onions of different sizes piled on the surface of the fish - it looked really unappetizing.
Jiang Qilan immediately used chopsticks to put a piece of fish with burnt skin into his mouth.
Well--
The crispy fish skin has a unique aroma after the protein is roasted by fire. The unique tender white meat of yellow croaker, dense and soft, together with the condensed and delicious fish juice, gives the taste an unimaginable ultimate experience.
Jiang Qilan was extremely shocked.
Why?
Why does something so delicious smell like nothing?
And it looks ordinary and even ugly?
Cheng Ling pursed her lips and smiled. Brother Lan knows nothing about cooking. He doesn't know that many foods "look ugly and smell bad, but they taste very delicious."
What is cooking?
It is the process of regularly transforming ingredients and condiments into delicious food using specific rules.
Deliciousness, or "taste", is the only criterion for judging culinary success.
As for the color and aroma, they are just to attract diners to taste the "taste".
——Chinese cuisine, most of which looks simple and unpretentious, actually tastes far better than the fancy Western food.
Jiang Qilan tried hard to control his facial expression - he couldn't show a surprised expression and let others feel that he was swallowing reluctantly, and at the same time he controlled the speed of his eating - this was not easy, he had to do his best to control himself not to gorge himself.
Cheng Ling didn't eat much.
Most of the time, she was observing Jiang Qilan's expression while eating.
His small expression showed his affirmation of delicious food.
Cheng Ling smiled.
But the smile is mixed with a little bit of nostalgia.
Jiang Qilan did not miss Cheng Ling's momentary trance.
He was so keen that he almost immediately realized that Cheng Ling was looking at another person through himself——
The aroma in the mouth was wrapped in a bitter taste.
The next moment, Jiang Qilan adjusted his mentality.
so what?
At this moment, Cheng Ling is by his side. Cheng Ling also loves him, and he also loves Cheng Ling.
This is the happiest thing in the world of love.
Why should he bother with the person in her memory?
His Ling'er values love and justice, how could he easily forget the person he had feelings for?
And, in a sense, that person is himself.
Jiang Qilan continued to enjoy the food in relief until all the plates on the table were clean.
He wiped his mouth with a napkin, resisted burping, and stood up: "I've finished eating."
As soon as he stood up, he realized how full he had been - his stomach felt heavy.
Cheng Ling also wiped his mouth and stood up, "I've finished eating too. Mr. Fang, let's go for a walk together."
Jiang Qilan wanted to take Cheng Ling back to the room directly, but reality did not allow it - after he stood up, he felt that he could no longer sit down.
The two took advantage of the night to take a walk in the manor.
While the servants were cleaning up the mess, they clucked their tongues and sighed: The magic of love is so powerful——
