Chapter 51: Chapter 51: Amazing Culinary Skills!
When it was time to go to bed, Song Yun was arranged to sleep in Ye Qingqing's boudoir.
Smelling Ye Qingqing's scent on the bedding, Song Yun was restless, but given that he was at his father-in-law's house, he didn't dare act out. No matter how much his father-in-law liked him, he would certainly side with his daughter on this matter.
Tossing and turning, Song Yun just couldn't fall asleep, so parched and thirsty, he got up planning to find some water in the living room.
He had barely reached the stairs when he collided with a shadow next to him.
Upon closer inspection, it was Ye Qingqing!
"What are you doing up so late?" Ye Qingqing, having been bumped into, winced and asked dissatisfiedly.
"I missed you so much I couldn't sleep. I thought I might steal you away!"
Song Yun pulled Ye Qingqing back into the room, followed by a deep kiss.
Afterward, Ye Qingqing propped herself up on Song Yun's chest, gasping for breath, "I can't anymore! If I don't go back now, Mom is going to come looking for me!"
Song Yun could only reluctantly let her go. After all, this wasn't his own home, and there was always the possibility of getting caught.
Ironically, after kissing Ye Qingqing a few times, Song Yun lay down on the soft bed and fell sound asleep.
Early the next morning.
Song Yun felt someone sitting on top of him.
He slowly opened his eyes and saw Ye Qingqing, dressed neatly, straddling his waist.
"Husband~ good morning~"
She was flirting with him so early in the morning, and Song Yun swore to make Ye Qingqing realize that men are beasts in the morning!
He captured Ye Qingqing's lips, only releasing her when she was about to run out of breath.
"You rascal! I came to wake you up for breakfast, you better get up, or Dad is going to come up and call you personally soon!"
Ye Qingqing's face was flushed with a charming scowl at Song Yun.
Song Yun smiled foolishly, got dressed, and followed Ye Qingqing downstairs.
"Song Yun is awake, come try the breakfast I made. I'll tell you, no one in the Magic Capital's marketplace can cook better than me!"
Ye Qingqing's father placed a plate on the table very proudly, "I have done a lot of research on Cantonese cuisine, Jiangsu cuisine, and Hakka cuisine. I even personally cooked a dish once when I dined with Jack Ma!"
Ye Qingqing's mother nodded in agreement, "Perhaps if Qingqing's dad had left aside his talent for business and became a chef, that would have been the best choice. Even though he tosses around hundreds of millions in the business world, at home, he's just a family cook."
Song Yun nodded with a smile, then followed Ye Qingqing's father into the kitchen.
"Dad, let me help you out."
Hearing Song Yun's call, Ye Qingqing's father didn't feel any aversion, but was actually filled with pride. It seemed his daughter had indeed inherited her mother's genes, possessing a good eye for choosing a husband!
Ye Qingqing's father planned to make a steamed egg custard, breaking several eggs into a bowl, skimming the froth from the top, and placing it onto the steamer.
Song Yun saw this and spoke up, "Dad, if you add some salt and MSG to enhance the flavor before steaming, it will taste better."
Ye Qingqing's father looked at Song Yun in surprise, curious to ask, "You can cook too?"
"Hehe, I have an interest in this area."
Hearing that, Ye Qingqing's father was even more convinced Song Yun was a good son-in-law. Not only was he handsome and good at investing, but now he could cook too! Where could you find a better son-in-law?
Finally, after Ye Qingqing's father had prepared several dishes, there was just one more to go—a stir-fry of mixed vegetables.
Seeing Song Yun diligently chopping and washing vegetables beside him, Ye Qingqing's father generously handed over the reins to Song Yun.
"You do the last dish."
Ye father moved to the side, yielding the position of the head chef.
Song Yun respectfully accepted the command, chopped the vegetables, added them to the dish, and started stir-frying. Each step was so smooth that even Ye father, who wanted to give some pointers, did not know how to begin.
Five or six minutes passed, and a dish of Stir-fried Mixed Vegetables was successfully served, its rich aroma making Ye father's mouth water. He couldn't wait to let Ye mother taste it first and directly grabbed a chopstick-full.
"Hiss! It's a bit hot, a bit hot!"
Ye father gulped down the mouthful of food, and despite the haste, he could tell that Song Yun's cooking was simply exceptional!
With the last dish served, breakfast at the Ye residence officially began.
Song Yun was fine, eating Ye father's cooking on the one hand and sipping on seafood porridge in small gulps on the other.
The three members of the Ye family, however, were not so composed. Logically, they were connoisseurs who had weathered many storms and tasted countless delicacies, but now they were utterly outmatched by the dish casually prepared by Song Yun.
On the dining table, the dish cooked by Song Yun was the first to be finished.
Smacking his lips, Ye father exclaimed, "Song Yun's cooking skills can simply be described as 'having attained the ultimate perfection.' His dishes remind me of the state banquet I had a few years ago in BJ!"
"Right, I truly didn't expect Song Yun could cook, let alone cook so well!" Ye mother nodded in agreement.
As for Ye Qingqing, she had already tasted Song Yun's cooking before and did not seem as excited.
"Hehe, I'm not busy today, so how about I prepare a grand meal for you both at noon?"
Seeing the opportunity to ingratiate himself with his in-laws, how could Song Yun let it go?
Ye father and Ye mother quickly nodded, postponing all their plans for the day.
Song Yun set the menu and handed it over to the butler of the Ye residence, who personally went to purchase the ingredients.
Thus, Song Yun witnessed what was called efficiency, and the quality of ingredients.
In less than half an hour, all the ingredients Song Yun requested were laid out before him.
As he casually inspected them, he discovered that in just half an hour, the butler had managed to procure the best, top-grade, and freshest ingredients available on the market.
Given that, he could not disappoint.
Song Yun busied himself in the kitchen alone, with dish after dish being served by Ye Qingqing.
Ye father and Ye mother sat at the dining table, swallowing hard at the tantalizing aroma of the dishes.
But at that moment, the Lu Family sent someone over again.
It turned out that since yesterday, Lu father had people keeping an eye on the Ye family's doorstep. They were eager to see who could have lured Ye Qingqing away, to find out exactly who this paragon was.
According to the informant's report, Ye father had even wrapped his arm around a young man as they entered the Ye household and had not come out all night!
This made Lu father uncomfortable, and he too wanted to see just who could be better than his own son!
Even more upset than Lu father was Lu Sihua.
He clenched his fists, wondering whether to throw a punch at that bastard when they met.
He had pursued Ye Qingqing for so long, and now, a nobody from outside their circles had reaped the benefits, which the proud Lu Sihua could not accept!
With the Lu Family's arrival, Ye father could no longer just sit there; he had to stand up and personally receive them.
After all, he hadn't given old Lu any face last time, and today, he couldn't neglect his guests no matter what.
Lu father entered the house with his family and immediately smelled the aroma of the dishes.
He took a deep breath, looked at Ye father in surprise, and asked, "Did your family change chefs?"
"Hehe, these are cooked by my son-in-law," Ye father couldn't care less if he offended anyone, and proudly said.
