18:30, the end of the workday at Yingzhi Group.
Zhao Qianqian stretched out her long, white legs, blocking Liu Di's path.
"Where are you going tonight, little brother?"
"Want to have dinner with your sister?"
This woman!
A charming mature lady, sexy and alluring!
Liu Di almost couldn't resist!
"Ahem!"
Yan Qingwen appeared behind them with a stern face, "Qianqian, you stay and work overtime! Liu Di is coming home with me for dinner!"
"President Wen, you can't interfere with our employees' private lives!"
"Wait, why is it 'home for dinner'?"
By the time Zhao Qianqian realized, Liu Di was once again being dragged away by Yan Qingwen, waving goodbye helplessly!
On the way back to the manor.
Liu Di, in the driver's seat, looked serious, "President Wen, I've discovered something strange."
Seeing Liu Di's expression, Yan Qingwen instinctively became serious too, "What did you find?"
Liu Di turned, frowning, "You seem to be jealous."
"What?!"
"Zhao Qianqian was flirting with me, and you got jealous."
Then, an angry shout pierced through the world's best soundproof Rolls-Royce, echoing across the sky!
The aloof female CEO completely abandoned her composure, shouting words she had never said before, "Liu Di, you're full of it!"
"Haha..."
Liu Di laughed heartily, finding great joy in bantering with Yan Qingwen!
Ten minutes later.
A 20 million yuan Rolls-Royce parked in front of a humble vegetable market, looking somewhat out of place.
"Eggplants for two fifty..."
"Cabbage, ten yuan for three!"
The shouts of vendors filled the air.
Liu Di turned to the pouting Yan Qingwen and smiled, "Speaking of dinner, I'm quite a good cook. I'll go buy some groceries and show you my skills tonight!"
Before Yan Qingwen could agree, Liu Di had already stepped out!
Yan Qingwen frowned as she looked out the car window.
The noisy crowd, the muddy ground, and people who looked like laborers haggling over a few cents for vegetables.
Can the food bought from such a messy place be eaten?
Knock, knock, knock...
Liu Di tapped on the car window, looking a bit embarrassed.
"Uh, Wenwen, this place only takes cash, and I just happen to have none..."
Hearing this, Yan Qingwen's heart softened.
Liu Di probably doesn't just lack cash on him; he likely has none at all!
The 5 million must have been spent already!
Looking at her impoverished savior, Yan Qingwen couldn't muster any anger.
She gently opened her wallet, pulled out a wad of cash, and said softly, "Ask me for more if it's not enough."
"Tsk tsk, so rich!"
Liu Di snatched the cash and ran off like a thief!
Twenty minutes later.
Yan Qingwen regretted it.
The biggest regret of her life was giving Liu Di money to buy groceries!
After the trunk of the Rolls-Royce was filled.
Liu Di returned with a dozen fish, dozens of pounds of beef!
And a bag of soil!
He had to place them inside the Rolls-Royce cabin!
At Yan Qingwen's feet.
The bag of flopping sea bream splashed water all over her face!
Fresh beef was leaking red blood, making Yan Qingwen too scared to step down!
"What did I do in my past life to deserve this!"
"Why did I have to meet Liu Di!"
Yan Qingwen screamed.
"Who's calling me?"
The young man in the white shirt outside tossed another bag into the car and stylishly sat back in the driver's seat.
"What's this?"
Yan Qingwen looked at the wriggling things in the bag, her scalp tingling.
"Silkworm pupae, high in protein, good for muscle building!"
"Ah...! They're bugs!"
"Yan Qingwen, can you be a bit more composed? Why are you screaming so much? People might think I'm harassing you!"
"Liu Di, you're too much!"
"Just wait until you taste my cooking, you'll probably fall in love with me!"
...
Yan Family Manor, outside the kitchen.
Liu Di had shut everyone out, claiming that his divine cooking skills were not to be observed!
Yan Qingwen held her phone, hesitating whether to order takeout!
What puzzled her was that the two little girls, Yan Kaikai and Yan Xinxin, cheered when they heard Liu Di was going to cook!
At this moment, the two little girls were huffing and puffing, running in the yard.
They said they needed to run until they were hungry enough to eat their fill!
Yan Qingwen couldn't understand it; Liu Di didn't seem like someone who could cook!
She did know that before joining the Yan family, Liu Di had worked as a waiter in a restaurant.
Could it be...
He learned some skills while working as a waiter?
But what kind of good food could come from such a place?
10 minutes later.
There were banging sounds coming from the kitchen.
It sounded like someone was abusing the beef!
20 minutes later.
A screeching noise came from the kitchen, like nails on a chalkboard!
Yan Qingwen sighed through the door, hoping the kitchen wouldn't be destroyed!
30 minutes later.
Someone was mixing clay in the kitchen!
40 minutes later.
Cold air wafted from behind the door!
"What on earth is Liu Di doing!"
Just as Yan Qingwen's patience was wearing thin, the kitchen door opened!
Liu Di gently wiped his hands with a white towel, "Ladies, dinner is served!"
The three Miss Yan sisters, each with different feelings, walked into the kitchen!
"Wow! So dazzling!"
"It's so bright I can't open my eyes!"
On the dining table before them was a magnificent ice sculpture!
It was a mountain range carved from ice, undulating and majestic!
Emitting wisps of white mist, it looked like a mystical fairyland!
"This is..."
Yan Qingwen was stunned. As a top-tier heiress, she had never seen such a masterpiece!
This must be an extraordinary display of knife skills, right?
"Liu Di, did you make this?"
Liu Di shrugged lightly, "Just a small trick, Ice Mountain Tai."
"But, what are we supposed to eat?"
Yan Kaikai and Yan Xinxin widened their eyes, "Are we supposed to gnaw on ice?"
"That's a good question!"
Liu Di glanced at the nonexistent watch on his wrist, "The sashimi on this mountain, from slaughter to plating, took 6 minutes and 10 seconds. You have 50 seconds left to enjoy it at its best flavor, so I suggest you hurry."
"Sashimi, where is it?"
Yan Kaikai leaned closer to the ice mountain and finally saw it.
On the surface of the ice, thin slices of fish were meticulously laid out, but the fish was so thin it was almost like rice paper, making it hard to notice!
Liu Di smiled gently, picking up a slice of fish with chopsticks and holding it under the light, where it faintly glowed!
The knife skills were simply extraordinary!
He lightly dipped a corner in soy sauce and placed the fish in his mouth.
He closed his eyes to savor it.
"Mm..."
Liu Di elongated the sound, "The thickness is just right, not only freshly slaughtered but also preserved in its freshest state with the help of the ice mountain..."
"Extremely fresh!"
"And with the top-grade soy sauce from your manor's kitchen..."
"Tsk tsk, delicious!"
The sight made the twin girls drool!
"Oh my gosh, I can't take it anymore!"
"Wow!"
The two young girls rushed forward, eagerly grabbing the fish and stuffing it into their mouths!
Liu Di smiled gently, "Miss Yan Qingwen, would you like to try?"
Yan Qingwen was dismissive, "All show, just to fool kids!"
But when Yan Qingwen picked up a slice of fish, dipped it in soy sauce, and put it in her mouth.
Her expression froze instantly.
Her mind was filled with one word: fresh!
It was as if the fish had come back to life!
She had never tasted sashimi this good!
Not even world-class chefs could achieve this!
"Liu Di, are you sure this is from the fish in the car?"
In Yan Qingwen's impression, those were low-grade ingredients, so how could they be this delicious?
"The fish are the same, quite ordinary."
"But my knife skills are a once-in-a-century talent!"
Liu Di shrugged and moved to the stove, and only then did Yan Qingwen notice.
Behind Liu Di was a huge ball of clay!
"Liu Di, I have to admit, your cooking skills are impressive!"
"And very impressive!"
"But why is there so much clay in the kitchen?"
Liu Di gave a sly smile, "This is for my next dish, clay-baked beef!"
Boom!
With a punch, Liu Di made a hole in the giant clay ball!
The next moment, an overwhelming aroma filled the air!
The two young girls, who were lost in the sashimi, suddenly looked up and sniffed the air.
"What is this?"
"It smells so good!"
"Kaikai, it's beef, a huge piece of beef!"
Yan Qingwen was stunned once again.
This beef, the aroma was simply incredible!
All the world's delicacies paled in comparison at that moment!
