Era: Life's Big Winner

Chapter 28: Ignite the incense with just one touch
"It smells so good! Master, do you need any help?"

Liu Hongchang was busy weighing the pot and spoon, when he heard someone at the kitchen door asking loudly and laughing.

He turned his head and looked over, and saw two beautiful women pushing and shoving each other, playing and wanting to go into the kitchen but feeling embarrassed.

Obviously, they were all attracted by the smell of food. They were all guests invited by Master Yao's family.

At this time, the system sent a message and Liu Hongchang understood it instantly.

The woman wearing an orange sweater and two pigtails is Teacher He Guixiang in "My Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law".

She and Li Yun are colleagues. She has an oval face, delicate features, elegant temperament, a plump figure, and is mature and attractive.

Teacher He is thirty-four years old, but he doesn't look old at all. He looks only about twenty-five or twenty-six years old.

Her husband has been dead for four or five years and has no children. She has been living alone, feeling depressed and wanting to be loved.

Liu Hongchang's heart moved slightly, thinking that these five acres of time acceleration should be easy to obtain, and then he looked at the other person.

The woman in a white Lenin suit is called Liu Meng. She is a character in the "Family Changes". Her father is a professor and her mother is a nurse.

Liu Meng has delicate facial features, fair skin, natural beauty, tall and plump figure, a wasp waist and a perky butt, and graceful curves.

"Thank you! I don't need any help." Liu Hongchang smiled after quickly glancing at the two of them, then retracted his gaze and continued cooking.

He Guixiang smiled slightly, glanced at Liu Meng, pulled her into the kitchen, and asked with a smile:
"Master, Xiao Meng and I are watching you cook. Isn't there anything taboo?"

"You can watch, just don't block us from doing our work." Liu Hongchang said with a smile.

However, after seeing the two beauties, Liuzi blushed and was at a loss, and even his work pace became a little flustered.

Noticing that Liuzi was a little embarrassed, He Guixiang smiled at him faintly, then pulled Liu Meng a few steps to the side.

Just in time, Liu Hongchang blocked Liuzi's view.

"Master, are you making boiled fish?" He Guixiang asked curiously. Liu Meng beside her also swallowed her saliva with bright eyes.

Liu Hongchang smiled and said, "Sour fish! From the taste point of view, boiled fish is spicy, and pickled fish is sour and spicy."

The sauerkraut fish comes out of the pot with a rich aroma, and the golden soup is mouth-watering. Half of the snow-white fish fillet is in the soup, and half is exposed outside.

It is sprinkled with dried chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, chopped green onions and white sesame seeds, and splashed with oil, giving it a glossy sheen and a pungent aroma that rushes straight to the head.

"What a nice smell! This fish looks so good to eat with rice." He Guixiang took a deep sniff, exclaimed with a smile, and secretly swallowed her saliva.

Liu Meng also nodded repeatedly and shifted his gaze to the other prepared dishes on the chopping board. He couldn't move his eyes away in an instant and his mouth was watering.

At this time, Li Yun walked to the kitchen door and said with a smile: "Hong Chang, you can serve the food!"

"We also help serve the dishes. We came here just to help." Liu Meng said with a cheerful smile.

Liu Hongchang reminded: "Don't get burned!"

"Master, what's your name? I'd like to ask you to cook a meal for me if I have the chance." He Guixiang asked with a smile as she picked up a plate of shredded pork with fish sauce from the chopping board.

Liu Hongchang smiled and said, "My surname is Liu, Liu Hongchang, and I'm a cook in the second state-owned canteen."

"My name is He Guixiang. I'm a teacher at the same school as Sister Li. We'll have a good chat later." He Guixiang said with a smile.

Liu Hongchang stared at her full breasts and asked meaningfully, "Want to talk to me about how to cook?"

"Haha, what else can I talk to you about?" He Guixiang felt numb all over, as if she was seen through, and her pretty face blushed slightly.

Then she gave Liu Hongchang a coquettish look, laughed dryly twice, and ran away with the dishes.

When she reached the door, she paused again. Her clear eyes met Liu Hongchang's. She pursed her lips and nodded slightly with a blushing face.

Liu Hongchang pointed towards the outside of the yard. He Guixiang nodded her chin imperceptibly, smiled slightly, and then turned and left.

The food was served one after another. There were more than a dozen dishes placed full and the aroma of the food was fragrant.

Liu Hongchang served the pickled fish on the table. Director Yao invited him to sit down and eat, but he declined and went back to the kitchen. Director Yao and Li Yun invited friends to dinner today. They said you're welcome, but Liu Hongchang couldn't be so rude.

"Eat your food, eat your food. Hong Chang is being polite to me today." Director Yao said to the guests with a smile.

Everyone was already starving, so they picked up their bowls and chopsticks and started eating happily.

Liu Meng quickly picked up a piece of fish fillet and put it in her mouth. In an instant, the sour and spicy taste burst in her mouth.

The sauerkraut is sour, crispy and refreshing, and the thin fish slices are fresh, tender and fragrant, melting in the mouth.

In an instant, she seemed to experience a different kind of love, a passionate love between sauerkraut and fish, in which the two complemented each other.

The sauerkraut brings out the freshness of the fish, and the fish brings out the crispness of the sauerkraut to perfection!

The fish meat is extremely tender, the sauerkraut is sour and crispy, and even the soup on the sauerkraut is sour, spicy, mellow and refreshing.

"Hmm, it's delicious!" After taking a bite, Liu Meng's eyes were dazzled and she couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Although she came from a well-off family and had eaten many delicious foods, she had never eaten such delicious sauerkraut fish.

At this time, Director Yao also let out a light "eh". He was eating braised pork, including the skin and meat, and he bit off four layers at a time.

The braised pork tastes sweet in the sauce, fat but not greasy, and full of richness in the mouth.

The surface is sticky and when it is applied to the lips, it feels like the lips are covered with lipstick.

But the fat melts in your mouth, and even the lean meat is very soft and tender, without any dry feeling.

It is salty and a little chewy. When you bite it, you can smell the meaty aroma, but it is not greasy. It leaves a lingering fragrance in your mouth and is very memorable.

"Good boy, when did Hong Chang become so delicious in cooking?" Director Yao was amazed, but couldn't help but wonder.

He had eaten a lot of braised pork, which was a common home-cooked dish, but this was the first time he tasted it that it was so eye-catching.

For today's braised pork, Liu Hongchang used the pork belly and seasoning to the extreme to achieve this flavor.

"The shredded pork with fish flavor is also delicious, spicy, salty, fresh, sour and sweet, with rich aromas of onion, ginger and garlic!" Section Chief Chen of Dongfeng Street wolfed down the food and praised with a smile.

"Old Yao, don't rush to drink, let me have a bowl of rice first, I came here at the right time!"

Captain Zhao from the police station also smiled and replied:
"Kung Pao Chicken is not bad either, red but not spicy, spicy but not overpowering, strong spicy flavor, smooth and crispy meat, fresh and spicy in the mouth..."

Before he could finish his words, other guests started to say that the food today was especially delicious and that they had never eaten such delicious food before.

Director Yao was very proud and felt indescribably happy.

Without taking time to get to the bottom of the matter, he quickly ordered Li Yun to go to the kitchen to get some rice, and said that he must invite Liu Hongchang to come over for a few drinks.

"Sister Li, you eat first, I'll go!" He Guixiang quickly got up and walked out of the living room.

Liu Hongchang and Liuzi were preparing to eat. Although they were not sitting at the table, they still had food to eat.

Arriving at the kitchen, He Guixiang smiled sweetly and said, "Master Liu, the guests over there want some rice. I'll bring some over."

"And Brother Yao said he must treat you to a few drinks. I've brought the message, you have to follow him."

Liu Hongchang stood up, uncovered the wooden steamer, put rice in a large porcelain bowl, and asked in confusion: "I just said that, are we going to eat in the kitchen?"

"Because the food you cook is delicious, everyone wants to get to know you." He Guixiang walked up and said with a smile.

Liu Hongchang smiled and nodded, "That's fine. It's the greatest compliment to me that the guests say the food I cook is delicious."

Then he said to Liuzi, "Liuzi, you continue eating. You don't have to wait for me. I guess you need to have a few drinks with Lao Yao."

"Brother, you are busy, don't worry about me." Liuzi said quickly, "I will clean the kitchen after dinner, you can take a rest."
