Shi Jingran quickly finished off the half a bowl of porridge in her bowl, rolled up her hair and prepared to display her skills in the kitchen.
After all, she had just practiced some basic cooking skills last night, so she had already planned out what to do for breakfast.
Tomato and egg noodles!
Tomato Fried Egg was a entry level dish, and she had a lot of experience cooking instant noodles. The two of them combined into one, she definitely wouldn't fail!
Shi Jingran was very confident. She boiled the water and washed the tomatoes on the other side.
Aunt Liu normally only cooked in the small kitchen, there was also a bigger western-style kitchen, which was only used by professional chefs.
Shi Jingran was very self-aware and decided to take over the kitchen area first.
The kitchen counter had been cleaned up a long time ago, and the smell of oil smoke had already disappeared. Shi Jingran's fighting spirit had been ignited.
She used her knife to draw on the tomato and cut a small cross. Without raising her head, she said, "Aunt Liu, go and do what you need to do. I can handle it myself."
Aunt Liu replied with an "Oh" and retreated to the kitchen door.
Shi Jingran was focused on frying the eggs, so much so that she did not notice that there were other spectators who were worried about him.
Originally, she planned on frying the poached egg, but after considering that this required skill wasn't suitable for an entry level contestant like her, she decided to give up.
Shi Jingran had fried this dish at least ten times last night, so it was easy to eat. In any case, everything would be done under the influence of the small fire, so there would definitely be no problems.
Seeing that Shi Jingran had already put down the kitchen knife, the Aunt Liu quickly went in and carefully packed up the kitchen utensils, so as to not accidentally injure the utensils.
"Aunt Liu, look. I should be able to take this course of action."
The egg looks fresh and tender, the tomato color is fresh and moist, the whole dish looks especially appetizing!
Shi Jingran snapped her fingers, and the Aunt Liu was not stingy with her words as she encouraged, "Miss Shi is smart. When I first cooked this dish, I even learned it for a long time."
"Ordinarily, I go from elementary school pretty fast." Shi Jingran modestly said, but she was actually very pleased with herself.
"Sigh, Miss Shi, your face looks like it's going to rot!"
Shi Jingran woke up from her narcissism, lifted the lid of the pot and poured a bowl of cold water.
The boiling hot blisters immediately disappeared. The noodles tumbled over and most of them became sticky.
"En, it doesn't matter. I've cooked quite a bit of noodles, so I should be able to find something edible."
She had voluntarily given up on her portion of tomato and egg noodles.
Lo Shaoqing had lived according to the rules for more than twenty years, and this was the first time his biological clock had gone into disorder.
When he saw the time, he instantly thought of the culprit. He thought for a moment before taking a shower and changing his clothes. He then threw the bedsheet into the basket before heading downstairs to eat breakfast.
When the phone was switched on, it already showed that there were a few missed calls, most of which were from Assistant Jiao.
He rubbed his forehead and called Jiao Yundong first, telling him to push today's journey backwards.
When he was walking past the dining hall, he subconsciously looked inside, just in time to see Shi Jingran's shiny eyes. He used to own a Husky.
"Soon, come over for breakfast."
Shi Jingran dragged her chin with one hand and waved towards him with the other.
From Lo Shaoqing's perspective, all he saw was a large white porcelain bowl on the table.
He was about to say "no", but when he saw her expectant gaze, he couldn't help but change it to "good".
Hearing his reply, Shi Jingran didn't know why, but she suddenly felt a bit nervous, like her palms were starting to sweat.
Seeing her nervous expression, Lo Shaoqing suddenly guessed what he was going to do. His footsteps paused, and his heart felt a little regretful.
"Moments later, hurry up and sit down. You still have to go to work later. Quickly eat breakfast and go out."
Shi Jingran pushed the large sized white bowl in front of him, and also very considerately brought a pair of chopsticks to him. "Hurry and try it."
If he didn't recognize incorrectly, this should be tomato and egg noodles.
Looking at the color and appearance, he shouldn't have any problems with it.
Lo Shaoqing estimated the score of this bowl of noodles in his mind and felt that it would pass. He then sat down and received the chopsticks.
However, on his first try, he only picked up a small piece of it — a tomato.
However, why did the one that looked the safest suddenly turn out not to be a tomato?
Lo Shaoqing quietly swallowed the tomato, then looked at the big bowl of noodles, suddenly feeling that he made a serious mistake in his estimation just now!
"How is it?"
Shi Jingran couldn't tell anything from his expression. Furthermore, she had just finished cooking the noodles in a hurry and had not even tasted it yet.
"Yes, the Aunt Liu's noodles are very delicious." Lo Shaoqing pretended not to know that this was her "masterpiece", and praised his in a very normal manner.
But in Shi Jingran's opinion, this was simply the greatest glory.
She instantly forgot the awkwardness they had last night and grabbed his arm. She was very excited, but after enduring for a bit, she still didn't tell him the truth. Instead, she continued to encourage him with a smile, "Then hurry up and eat."
This was the first time she truly cooked for someone else. To think that she had such a sense of accomplishment by watching someone else eat her own food!
She decided to fall in love with the kitchen!
Looking at her excited expression, Lo Shaoqing decided to perfect this lie. It was just that this "masterpiece" that was salty to the point that his tongue was numb was just watching from afar.
"I forgot my coat is upstairs, go get it for me."
As Lo Shaoqing stirred the bowl with the chopsticks, he casually opened his mouth and said, "The one with the gray stripe."
"It's fine. Hurry up and eat. I'll go get it for you!"
How could Shi Jingran let such a great opportunity go by? She went upstairs to get his clothes with a smile.
As Lo Shaoqing listened to the footsteps get further and further away, he unhesitatingly picked up the white porcelain bowl and poured the noodles into the trash can.
Thus, when Shi Jingran went downstairs, she only saw that there was only an empty white bowl on the table, while Lo Shaoqing had already left for the company.
"Eating so cleanly? I knew I had a talent for cooking! " Shi Jingran carried the empty bowl with a smile on her face. There was not even a single flower left in the bowl, as she felt that she had taken a big step closer to her plan!
"Do you want to try to send me food at noon?"
In order to grab hold of Lo Shaoqing's stomach as soon as possible, Shi Jingran decided to make a luxurious lunch and send it over.
Shi Jingran hummed a little tune as she recalled the dishes at noon. She also conveniently took Aunt Liu here to be her advisor, ordered the menu, and quickly sent people to buy the dishes that she needed.
"CEO, the morning meeting has been cancelled. The rest of the schedule just happens to be the same." Jiao Yundong reported as he secretly glanced at his own CEO.
Sigh, this is the first time he was late for work after following the CEO for so long.
The key point was that the CEO seemed to have faint dark circles under his eyes. It was obvious that he hadn't slept well last night.
Cough cough, I've learnt from the mistakes of the past. This time, I must not ask too much about the CEO's gossip.
Lo Shaoqing had always lived a regular life, and was especially punctual. This time, the routine morning assembly would be cancelled, and it was unknown how the rumors would spread.
He gently lifted his hand and turned the pen. He thought of the culprit and the breakfast she had made.
"Help me prepare some stomach medicine."
Jiao Yundong was startled, and anxiously said, "CEO is not feeling well at all, why not call the doctor over?"
Thankfully, he started to suspect that the CEO was late because of his evening strenuous exercise. Who knew that he was in bad health?
"Ahem, backup." Lo Shaoqing raised his eyebrows, his eyes containing hints of warning, "Why are you still not going?"
"Eh. "Yes."
Jiao Yundong did not dare to ask too much. Not long later, he went straight to the infirmary to get a large pile of medicine from the medicine room.
Lo Shaoqing frowned, he was truly becoming more and more suspicious of his servants' eyesight, how could there be such a stupid assistant?
Asking his stomach medicine to come over and prepare, he actually brought a medicine box over. Then, which one should he eat?
He lifted his hand and rummaged through the paper. Unexpectedly, he even found a medicine for diarrhea!
However, he was just worried that the breakfast in the morning would make his stomach feel uncomfortable, so he kept it as a backup. Was there really a need to find all these random medicines?
However, it turned out that this small medicine chest was going to play an important role in the next few days.
"Aunt Liu, you can leave, I want to make lunch with Yi Xin, you just stay here and watch, it will affect my performance!"
Since the dishes on the counter had already been washed, Shi Jingran decided to go all out. Naturally, she had to drive out those who had nothing to do with it. The morning was just a small test, there was only room for a proper meal!
After all, the Aunt Liu doted on her young master. She was worried that Shi Jingran might not even finish cooking properly, what if her young master died from poison?
No, pui pui! How could he die from poison, but he couldn't get diarrhea either!
"Miss Shi, I'm with you as an assistant. It's faster for the two of us to move together."
"I can do it alone. "Get out, get out!" Shi Jingran said as she pushed the Aunt Liu outside. The Aunt Liu did not dare to resist and was immediately locked outside.
After the kitchen was cleared, a certain person chuckled twice and checked the dishes against the menu that was printed on the wall.
Sweet and sour pork, a side of vegetables, and scrambled eggs with tomatoes!
Shi Jingran first cut the ribs over hot water, then directly threw them into the pot to boil. She was too lazy to count the sliced cinnamon and the 10 peppers on the menu, so she just threw a small bag of seasoning bags in, and used a spoon to stir up the fragrance.
"Hehe, I will definitely like it after a while."
She wiped her hands and turned up the music on her phone. She was all by herself, humming along as she cooked. It was very satisfying.
"CEO, this document needs your signature."
Lo Shaoqing replied as he casually opened the file and skimmed through it. The pen he picked up spun once in his hand, then he put it down, and said thoughtfully, "Why did you change the supplier that you wanted to use this time?"
"So, the one that said that their quality was not up to standard changed." I told you about it last time. "
The project manager was a bit unsure. Actually, the former one was similar to this supplier. It was just that this one offered a higher profit.
The last time he mentioned this to the CEO, the CEO still wanted him to decide what to do, but why was there something wrong with him right now?
It had to be said that the project manager's intuition was quite accurate.
Lo Shaoqing closed the document and rapped his fingers on the blue cover, then said: "I think it's better to take a look at the supplier, to see if there is anything more suitable."
"Alright."
The project manager was not sure what the CEO was thinking, so he did not ask, wanting to take the document away, but Lo Shaoqing's hand was pressing down on it, not showing any signs of letting go.
"No rush, I'll keep watching."
