Chapter 439: Chapter 401: Avenge Past Shame, Not for Steamed Buns but for Pride

"Don’t worry, I’ve already brought in the clothes, and besides, we’re at home, so even if it rains, we won’t get wet," Xu Caihong teased with a smile, then revealed the reason, "Actually, it’s your daughter’s drool. Look at her, she’s drooling at the sight of it."

Only then did Li Xiuxian notice that Yuanyuan was resting her chin in her hands, staring intently at the screen, with a trail of crystal-clear saliva at the corner of her mouth.

She couldn’t help but burst into laughter, "Oh dear, it’s our little glutton drooling."

Yuanyuan, unashamed, pointed at the red-braised pork on the screen, saying, "Mommy, I’m telling you, this is the braised lion’s head I had for lunch~"

"So, how does the braised lion’s head taste?"

Li Xiuxian kept her eyes glued to the mouth-watering braised lion’s head on the screen, even though she had already guessed the answer, she couldn’t help but want to hear her daughter’s genuine thoughts.

Yuanyuan took a deep breath, as if savoring the taste of the lunchtime braised lion’s head again, then shook her little head with eyes sparkling with satisfaction, "Mm, super delicious!"

"As soon as we talk about good food, look at you, you’re drooling again, quickly wipe your mouth!"

Li Xiuxian chuckled, picking up a tissue from the coffee table, carefully wiping the drool from Yuanyuan’s mouth, and then gently wiping the droplets off the screen to ensure a clear viewing experience.

Originally, Huang Jun’s culinary skills were excellent, and after Jiang Shuihan and Lv Pengfei’s meticulous editing, the dishes in the video appeared even more enticing.

With the video playing...

Minced meat steamed egg, creamy baby bok choy, tofu fish soup and other dishes appeared one after another, making both Li Xiuxian and Xu Caihong drool, and even Yuanyuan, who had already eaten these dishes for lunch, couldn’t help but feel her mouth watering again.

Yuanyuan pouted at Xu Caihong, "Grandma, I still want to eat these dishes~"

"Yuanyuan still wants to eat, huh! Okay, Grandma will make them for you."

Her eyes wandered between the video dishes and the ingredients at home, quickly pondering in her mind.

Taking into account the ingredients on hand and the preparation time, Xu Caihong decided to make the braised lion’s head and minced meat steamed egg. However, she felt the braised lion’s head was time-consuming and might not be ready in time, while the minced meat steamed egg was simple and quick.

So...

She suggested, "How about Grandma makes the minced meat steamed egg tonight first? The other dishes can wait until tomorrow when Grandma buys the ingredients, okay?"

"Okay~"

Yuanyuan, who had eaten rice with the minced meat steamed egg for lunch and found it incredibly delicious, naturally nodded in agreement happily.

Not only in Yuanyuan’s household, but almost every parent hurriedly opened the video as soon as they got home, and after watching it, every one of them was drawn in by the tantalizing dishes.

And then...

They all craved them!

The parents who knew how to cook immediately got to work, eager to replicate the culinary delights from the video.

Those who couldn’t cook started mobilizing the family cook members to learn how to make those tempting dishes from the video.

Some families hired helpers who directly followed the steps in the video to cook.

Of course, there were a small number of parents who couldn’t cook, like Liu Shiwei, who were also motivated by the delicious food in the video, eager to try their hand at cooking themselves.

"Hanhan, is this what you want to eat?" Liu Shiwei dotingly asked, pointing at the braised lion’s head on the screen.

"Yes, yes~"

Liu Ruihan nodded vigorously.

"Alright, Daddy will make it for you!" promised Liu Shiwei, patting his chest.

"Honey, you’ve been busy all day. You should rest. Why not let Uncle Ge cook according to the video..." Wen Xueqian gently suggested, trembling a little at the thought of Liu Shiwei’s last attempt at "dark bun meat."

Upon hearing that her dad was going to make braised lion’s head, Liu Ruihan’s heart skipped a beat.

If she had known it would turn out this way, she should have shaken her head earlier and not mentioned what she craved.

But now, it’s too late for regrets...

She quickly attempted to remedy the situation, "Yeah, Daddy, you’re tired. Let’s have Uncle Ge do it."

"Yes, President Liu, why don’t I take over?"

Uncle Ge, as Huang Jun’s registered disciple, naturally had to support the debut release of his master’s cooking video.

After watching the entire cooking process, he was deeply impressed by Huang Jun’s knife skills and was eager to try following the video himself. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Liu Shiwei waved it off, "No, no, I’ve got it! This time it’s definitely going to be delicious!"

His previous cooking failure left him feeling guilty, as his daughter couldn’t get to eat the buns. This time, determined to redeem himself, he was bent on making a successful dish so his daughter could finally enjoy the braised lion’s head she wanted to eat.

Wen Xueqian and Liu Ruihan exchanged glances, both doubtful of his potential success.

But seeing Liu Shiwei’s resolute expression, they knew he was dead set on this, and nothing would change his mind.

So, they remained silent, quietly contemplating what excuses they might use later to escape disaster if Liu Shiwei’s attempt went awry again.

Accompanying Liu Shiwei into the kitchen, Uncle Ge smiled and said, "President Liu, if you need any assistance, just let me know anytime."

"No, no, you just take a break outside and get ready to enjoy my braised lion’s head later," Liu Shiwei replied, full of confidence.

He donned an apron, took out all the necessary ingredients, even using the electronic scale, looking determined to showcase his skills.

However, his lacking knife skills resulted in unevenly sized ingredients, both thick and thin, but they were passable.

Fortunately, Huang Jun clearly stated the quantities of each ingredient and seasoning in grams, helping him avoid the unknowns of terms like "appropriate amount" and "a little," preventing him from randomly adding seasonings blindly as before and avoiding any unpleasant stench.

After much effort, the braised lion’s head was finally served.

Though the lion’s heads turned out uneven in size and not perfectly shaped, the appearance had vastly improved, no longer being an eyesore.

The aroma, now reduced to just a faint scent of meat, wasn’t off-putting either.

"Come, have a taste..." Liu Shiwei eagerly brought the braised lion’s head to the table.

Seeing the plate of braised lion’s head, Wen Xueqian thought the appearance was acceptable, the aroma was tolerable, so she tentatively picked up a small piece of meat with her chopsticks, cautiously tasted it, "Mm, it’s done well, a big improvement from before, at least it’s no longer inedible..."

Hearing that, Liu Shiwei was overjoyed.

But his joy was short-lived, lasting no more than two seconds...

Before Wen Xueqian’s voice rang again, "But...next time, just don’t bother making it..."

Liu Shiwei paused, then tried a bite himself. Though the taste was so-so, he optimistically said, "It’s a bit overcooked, the texture’s a little dry, but honestly, the flavor’s not bad this time, I’m sure it’ll be even better next time."

"I didn’t expect Chef Huang to be so skilled in cooking, and equally adept at teaching how to cook. Learning from Chef Huang really saves decades of mistakes compared to those unreliable cooking tutorials online."

Wen Xueqian: "..."

Alright~

He completely ignored her last sentence...

Alright~

As long as he’s happy, at least the dish is passable, won’t poison her, and won’t give anyone a stomachache.
