There Is Chef Yu In The Entertainment Circle
by Unawakened For Years
Chapter 4: In those year, my might shadowed the world.
After the bankruptcy, all the properties of the Yu family were auctioned off to pay their debts. His relatives shunned him. The teenager had no place to live and lived on campus before he dropped out. After signing a contract with All Star Entertainment, he lived with Luo Peng. They lived in a two-bedroom apartment rented by Luo Peng.
The little boy has never done housework since he was a child. Luo Peng also had not much choice[1]. No matter how diligent they were, the house was not very tidy. Wei Xiaofeng once made a sharp comment on the word "pig's nest".
As for the food, these two people were even more unconcerned. They either order takeout or went to dawdle to get a free meal. The kitchen in this room was just a decoration since the lived here.
Yu Siyang opened the fridge. It's either a beer or spicy potato chips, there's no ingredient for a lunch.
"Xiao Yu, do you want a baozaifan[2] or gaimafan[3] today?" Luo Peng slumped on the living room sofa with a stack of takeout orders in his hand.
Yu Siyang came out of the kitchen and took Luo Peng's takeout orders and threw it on the tea table. He refused to ordered takeout food, "Luo Ge, let's go to the supermarket and buy some food and cook by ourselves."
Luo Peng sat up from the sofa and said in surprise, "Do you do it? I can't cook anyway."
When he first moved in, he cooked a meal that almost took them both to the hospital, and he had stayed away from the kitchen ever since that.
"I do it." Yu Siyang nodded and went back to his room to pick up his wallet, "Luo Ge, let's go."
The supermarket was not far from where they live. It took about ten minutes walk. Luo Peng was carrying a large reusable bag, he was not reassured and asked while walk, "Xiao Yu, are sure you can cook, and it's not dark cook ah."
Yu Siyang glanced at him blankly. The chef of a five-star hotel cooked for him for free. Dare to say, he knew how much he had to pay for a table.
Looking at the confident look of the child, Luo Peng decided that even he had stomachache after eating, he should keep the show and not hurt the child's confidence.
As soon as he entered the supermarket, Luo Peng began to order, "Then I want to eat braised pork, beef, chicken wings, oh... and fish, I also like shrimp."
He spoke enthusiastically and had completely forgotten the question of "can Xiao Yu cook".
Yu Siyang looked at him speechlessly, "... We're only two people. We can't eat that much."
Luo Peng put a box of frozen chicken wings in the shopping cart, waved and laughed, "I have a big appetite. I can definitely finish it."
Yu Siyang looked at his figure and silently put a piece of beef in the shopping cart.
They're pretty efficient at shopping, just less than half an hour. They walked out of the supermarket with a bag full of meat, vegetable and seasoning. Luo Peng also carried a bag of rice on his shoulder.
When they came to the gate where they lived, they saw Wei Xiaofeng going inside. Luo Peng quickly stopped him and said, "Xiaofeng Ge, why are you here?"
"Buying so many dishes, can you cook?" Wei Xiaofeng watched their shopping bags and frown. Once you ate Luo Peng's dark food, your stomach hurt for three days, and he had psychological shadow since then.
Luo Peng quickly cleared up, "Xiao Yu said he would do it."
"Xiaofeng Ge, let's have lunch together." Yu Siyang was also very grateful to the benefactor of the teenager. If it hadn't been for Wei Xiaofeng's help, his situation would have been worse.

The kitchen was so small that he could turn away by himself. One more person it's crowded. Two more people couldn't move at all. Are these two guys sure came to help, not to make trouble?
His complaints were clearly written on his face. Wei Xiaofeng and Luo Peng coughed uncomfortably, "You're busy. We'll wait for you in the living room."
Wei Xiaofeng was going to leave, but now he decided to stay for lunch. It smells so good, he shouldn't suffer from stomachache again... right?!
He used sugar to make the braised pork lascivious. Yu Siyang took out the newly bought earthenware pot and stewed the meat in it. While stewing the meat, he also handled other dishes.
When he had cut up all kinds of meat before, he felt that the teenager's body had not exercised much and his arms had no strength at all. The pork was easy to cut, but he couldn't cut the chicken, and the knife cut only one centimeter deep.
Yu Siyang held the knife, looked at the chicken and sighed. He was strong before, he could carry more than a hundred pounds of pot to the fifth floor without any effort. But now, he could not even cut the chicken.
Helplessly, the chicken could only be replaced by chicken wings without cutting.
In the living room, Luo Peng smelled the aroma coming from the kitchen. He couldn't even listen carefully to what Wei Xiaofeng said.
Wei Xiaofeng repeated the same sentence twice. On the third time, he slapped Luo Peng's head angrily, "I was talking to you, and you were distracted. Are you clear up yet?"
"Brother, let's talk after dinner," Luo Peng wailed, "I'm hungry. My brain has been dominated by my stomach. Only when I'm full, I can be good."
"...Hungry to death!" Wei Xiaofeng was angry and said that he was also hungry. Why hadn't the food been done yet.
When both of them were starving and anxious, Yu Siyang finally came out of the kitchen with a bowl of braised pork and said to Luo Peng, "Luo Ge, can you help me with the dishes?"
"With pleasure." Luo Peng jumped up from the sofa and rushed to the kitchen. As soon as he entered, the exclamation of "wow, wow, wow" was heard from the kitchen.
There was no dining room in the small rented house, and the table couldn't fit. The three people could only eat around the coffee table.
Luo Peng ordered almost all the dishes. Although it was a very ordinary home cooking, but that's Yu Siyang's professional habits. When eating at home, the dishes should be exquisite and beautiful.
Wei Xiaofeng looked at the dishes filled the coffee tables. When you cook, you had to pay attention to color, flavor and taste. The color and flavor were already there. The taste... it doesn't look bad.
He put a piece of braised pork into his mouth. His eyes slightly widened and looked at Yu Siyang in surprise. The meat was made of three layers of streaky pork, the lean meat was strong but not hard. The fat meat was fragrant but not greasy. The meat was sweet and salty, soft and crispy, but not loose. When chewing in his mouth, he could clearly feel the distinct layers of a layer of fat and lean meat. The thick and spicy juices were chewed out of the meat and eroded every taste buds.
"Xiao Yu, when did you learn this skill?" Wei Xiaofeng asked.
Luo Peng chimed in, "That's right. You're craft absolutely amazing. Why didn't you cook before? Otherwise, we don't have to eat takeout every day."
"Haha..." Yu Siyang laughed awkwardly, "This... probably... extraordinary talent..."
