Lin Yiyi pulled open the closest drawer habitually, pulled out the neatly folded apron and put it on .
Then, she found the rest of the pans, wok, and spatula that she needed at a spot next to where Lu Xun had found the skillet earlier…
Lu Xun was shocked beyond words . He couldn’t help but wonder whether this was his house or hers…
Those who were in the kitchen a lot would know that the most used items would usually be placed at the closest spots .
Lin Yiyi was merely going off of her years of cooking experience . She hadn’t expected that as huge as the Lu’s kitchen was, the placement of the items was the same as most other regular families .
She looked through the items in the sink and immediately thought of a few recipes .
“We can make a boeuf bourguignon, braised prawns, and a fish-flavored shredded pork . If it’s just the two of us, another two vegetable dishes would be enough . ”
Seeing the ingredients made her itching to cook a good meal!
Lu Xun nodded immediately . Of course he wouldn’t object to it . He couldn’t be any happier!
“Let me get you a bottle of red wine . ” And he was gone as soon as he finished saying that .
Inside the wine cellar, he grabbed an obviously very expensive bottle of Château Lafite-Rothschild that was displayed separately and ran back into the kitchen .
Lin Yiyi took the red wine brought back by Lu Xun and started introducing the dishes today . That, too, was an occupational hazard . “Every classical dish has a traditional recipe . Beef bourguignon was a traditional dish from France . And I am going to make the classic Burgundy boeuf a la bourguignon today…”

This dish would take a total of four hours to make .
Four hours mean there would be enough time to prepare all the other dishes while the beef was being braised with time to spare .
But, such good imported New Zealand beef was worth the four-hour wait!
This was the very first time Lin Yiyi cooked at someone else’s house .
The kitchen at the Lu’s was too much to her liking . As someone who was born to stay in the kitchen, she couldn’t be happier . Even her mood to cook had been greatly improved .
She neatly and swiftly finished all the prep work . All the dishes were ready one after another .

A savory-smelling, spicy and numbing, dish of fish-flavored shredded pork with fine and smooth texture; a bright red colored, savory and crunchy plate of braised prawns . Then there were two vegetarian dishes — bell pepper, tomato and potato stir-fry, and king oyster mushroom with broccoli . Plus, a pot of white radish and fish soup…
Then, there was the distinctive and intoxicating smell of the beef that was still being braised in the pot .
When Lin Yiyi had finished plating the extravagant and luxurious boeuf a la bourguignon, she saw Lu Xun, his face filled with anticipation and…
She looked past Lu Xun to the person behind him .
A young man had been standing next to the door since they didn’t know when .
Lu Xun suddenly had a bad feeling . He turned around . Sure enough, he saw the dang face of his nephew!

“I thought… I thought you were away for your summer camp!”
Lu Xun was stunned .
Lu MingZhe didn’t say a word but walked up and sat down right next to Lu Xun .
He glanced over at his little uncle, grunted through his nose, and gave him a very straightforward answer, “I forgot something at home . ”
And that was when Lin Yiyi also recalled…
Hadn’t Lu Xun mentioned before that he had a 13-year-old son too?!
