Chapter 102 Whose Dish Tastes Better
Xu Xiao had already taken all the groceries he bought to the kitchen by himself and started picking the vegetables voluntarily.
Ye Yixing rolled up his sleeves and went to help too.
Su Xingwan saw this and smiled, "I'll go help as well."
"Auntie, we want to help too!" the three little ones said.
"You don't need to, just sit there and rest."
Lu Yun looked towards them, then helped them turn on the TV in the living room.
"Watch whatever you like."
Lu Yun appeared very casual, knowing the three kids loved watching cartoons, so he searched for the live-action version of the Little Magic Fairy they often watched.
Soon, the familiar music played from the TV.
The two little ones swayed side to side with the music from the TV.
Ye Yixing turned to watch Little Su Luo's strange dance moves, which he had seen him perform in his cousin's office before.
Luo Bao really has no talent in dancing!
Su Xingwan sat on the sofa, her hand brushing the gift inside her bag, still unsure of a suitable reason to give it to them.
His house also has children's toys, drawing papers, and such.
Little Su Hua sat cross-legged on the carpet, taking out watercolor pens to draw.
To be honest, Su Xingwan felt a bit bored.
The three men were busy helping in the kitchen.
The three little ones were each doing their thing in the living room, leaving her sitting idly in the living room.
After Ye Yixing was almost done, he came out to watch cartoons with the three little ones.
He casually sat on the sofa, then noticed the clothes Su Xingwan was wearing today.
"What brand is this outfit you're wearing? I've never seen it before?"
Ye Yixing no longer said the clothes she wore were cheap like he used to.
Today, the outfit she was wearing was obviously of good quality at first glance.
The kind that can't be bought even if you have money.
Su Xingwan: "It's from an ad campaign I recently took."
Ye Yixing: "Oh, the videos you posted a few days ago? Which clothing company's designs are this good?"
This design style seemed familiar to Ye Yixing, like he'd seen it somewhere before.
Su Xingwan was puzzled by his words.
She remembered Tang Muya telling her the same thing a few days ago.
Saying that her clothes without logos were unique in both design and material, like tailor-made items.
Zhang Qiaoqiao suddenly messaged her at this time.
[Su Xingwan, the thousands of yuan worth of clothes I bought from your place still don't look as good as what you're wearing.]
After sending this message, she immediately sent another one.
[Hehe, I guess it's because you have a good figure that makes the clothes look good, while I can't achieve the same effect.]
Cooking with three people is fast; Xu Xiao already came out carrying the dishes.
"Miss Su, Young Master Ye, it's time to eat."
"Oh, oh." Su Xingwan got up immediately after hearing this, tidied the things on the dining table simply, and brought all the dishes from the kitchen.
"Wow! Smells so good!"
The three little ones were already hungry. Smelling the aroma, they quickly turned off the cartoons and obediently went to the washroom to wash their hands.
Su Xingwan looked at the dishes, which were just normal home-cooked meals, and thought that wealthy families eat the same as them, not indulging in seafood feasts every meal.
Once everyone sat down, Su Xingwan noticed a plate of slightly burnt scrambled eggs on the table.
Ye Yixing chuckled, "This is the first time I made scrambled eggs, accidentally burnt them a bit, but I think it's still edible."
Xu Xiao laughed and said, "Miss Su, I cooked these dishes, and those were cooked by Mr. Lu. Try them and see whose tastes better."
Ye Yixing picked up a bite with chopsticks, "Mr. Lu's cooking is definitely tastier."
Having tasted his cousin's cooking before, he had a lot of respect for his cousin's culinary skills.
The two little ones first picked up the dishes Uncle Lu made.
"Uncle Lu's cooking is tastier than Auntie's!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Yixing looked at them, "You didn't lie to help your Auntie? Aren't you supposed to love your Auntie the most?"
The two little ones giggled, "We still love her very much, but Auntie said we shouldn't lie and should always tell the truth."
"Yes, Auntie won't get angry."
Su Xingwan patted their heads with a smile and gave them a thumbs-up, "Nice, very well done!"
Being praised by their aunt, the two little ones smiled happily.
Xu Xiao: "Now try my dishes."
With the children's fairness, he wanted them to act as judges.
Little Su Yan came to take a bite of Uncle Xu's braised pork ribs.
He seriously evaluated, "Well, Uncle Lu's is still tastier."
The two little ones nodded after tasting, "Indeed, Uncle Lu's cooking is still a bit better, but Uncle Xu's isn't bad either."
Xu Xiao smiled, "My wife always praises my cooking, didn't expect to lose to Mr. Lu today."
Ye Yixing laughed loudly, "What can I say, Lu Yun is your boss, there's nothing he can't learn. Losing to him is not a loss."
"Aw! Uncle Ye's scrambled eggs are so bad, not even half as good as Auntie's."
The two little ones frowned and hurriedly took a sip of warm water handed by their aunt.
Su Xingwan smiled, "It seems I'm not the worst cook after all."
Ye Yixing glared at them, "This is my first time cooking, and I think it's already quite good."
He then looked at the three little ones, their little faces scrunched up, "Is it really that bad? It's just a little burnt."
"Uncle Ye, didn't you taste the food you cooked yourself?"
Ye Yixing shook his head, confident in himself no matter what task he tackled, even thinking cooking was simple.
"Try it yourself, and you'll know," the two little ones said.
Ye Yixing picked up a bowl, stubbornly taking a bite with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth.
Instantly, a burnt and bitter taste filled his mouth.
"Ptooey, ptooey!" He spat out, "This is as bad as those candied hawthorns."
Upon hearing "candied hawthorn," the three little ones looked up, "Uncle Ye, candied hawthorns are tasty! They're sweet."
Ye Yixing: "You must not have tasted good things. Candied hawthorns aren't sweet."
Xu Xiao coughed, "Young Master Ye, I asked my wife about the candied hawthorns. She said kumquat flavor ones can taste bad; apple or strawberry ones are sweeter."
Ye Yixing: So I happened to pick a bad one.
After the meal, Xu Xiao took the initiative to clean up the dishes and left first since his wife and children were waiting for him to come home.
It was still early, and the three little ones were not in a hurry to leave.
They discovered that Uncle Lu's house had many amusing things to play with.
There were even advanced gadgets they hadn't seen before.
"This is a virtual game machine. Once you wear it, you'll see fun things. Uncle Ye will teach you how to play!"
In the living room, Ye Yixing sat with the three little ones, operating a high-end product.
Having spent this long with them, Su Xingwan found that Ye Yixing had the same playful nature as children and loved playing with the three little ones.
