“It’s rare, you actually brought a friend home.”
The cold, black-haired beautiful woman, seemingly also a quiet person.
Seeing her daughter bring a male friend home for the first time, she didn't seem particularly enthusiastic.
She simply took the warm water that Jian Qi Ming handed over with a cool demeanor, took a sip, and stopped talking.
“.......”
Oh, this mother-daughter relationship is quite distant.
Ye Ran, left aside, felt a little awkward.
Although he knew Wu Guo was Jian Qi Ming’s foster mother, her indifferent attitude towards her own family made him uncomfortable.
“Mom, did you eat?”
Jian Wei Sai, with her lively personality, couldn't adapt to this situation.
Seeing this, Jian Qi Ming had already returned control of her body to her sister.
Now, the one conversing with them was Jian Qi Ming again.
“No.”
Wu Guo sat on the sofa, taking small sips of warm water, maintaining her dignified appearance even when relaxed.
The beautiful wife's back was slender and delicate, a stark contrast to her full figure from the front, truly a case of different perspectives offering different views.
“Me neither. Should we order takeout?”
Jian Qi Ming sighed and proposed an idea.
“Okay.”
“........”
The heterochromatic-eyed girl seemed used to this kind of concise conversation.
She took out her phone, checked it, and said with a tinge of gloom.
“It’s too late, even with late-night delivery, it will take at least an hour.”
“I can skip it, just order for yourself.”
The black-haired beautiful woman put down her cup, indicating she didn’t mind.
“That… don’t you have any groceries at home, you could cook?”
Ye Ran was puzzled.
Do these two not know how to cook?
“.......”
“.......”
Well, so it seems.
The two on the other side remained silent, their silence answering his question.
So, this Jian Qi Ming girl lives like this? Coming home late, not even a hot meal…
Ye Ran sighed.
Just right, he hadn’t eaten dinner either.
There was a 24-hour convenience store nearby, he could buy some groceries and cook, it would be done in half an hour.
........
Half an hour later.
Ye Ran casually untied his apron, beckoned to the pair of silent, big-eyed, small-mouthed mother and daughter on the sofa.
‘Jian Qi, Aunt Wu Guo, dinner’s ready.’
You can’t make anything too complicated in half an hour.
Ye Ran, inheriting the “King Stomach” trait, was also starving.
So, he directly chose the simplest and fastest quick-cooking dishes.
‘I’ll start first.’
Without being polite to the Jian Qi mother and daughter, the boy picked up the buckwheat noodles on the table and began to eat heartily.
This New Year’s Eve buckwheat noodle dish was a delicacy featured in 【Today’s Dinner at the Emiya Household】.
The buckwheat noodles were readily available at the supermarket, just boil them and rinse with cold water.
Then heat some oil in a pan, put shrimp in egg batter, and fry them into crispy and delicious tempura.
Throw a few pieces of kelp into the boiling water, remove them before boiling, then add bonito flakes, blanched spinach, sliced fish cake, chopped green onion, yuzu peel…
Soon, a big bowl of steaming buckwheat noodles was ready.
“Slurp, slurp......”
The hot, oily buckwheat noodles, after being rinsed with cold water, became extremely chewy and springy.
Dip the perfectly fried tempura into the sweet and savory broth, then pick up the soft and tender spinach and red and white fish cake slices, stuffing them all into his mouth.
Mmm, the sweet and fresh taste, it was impossible to stop eating.
You just want to keep slurping the noodles with the hot broth.
“Seriously, is it that good?”
“This guy’s eating way too fragrantly.”
Even the Jian Qi mother and daughter, who usually had no pursuit in cooking, just seeking to maintain basic life needs, were now attracted by Ye Ran’s enjoyment of the food.
They came to the table half-heartedly, picked up a noodle and took a small bite.
Next moment.
The eyes of the two women widened.
As if every cell in their entire body was lit up.
The fragrance lingering in their nostrils made their appetites whet, and the speed of their chopsticks picking up noodles increased rapidly.
Ten minutes later.
Jian Qi Ming reluctantly finished the last drop of soup in her bowl, licked her lips with a lingering taste, and said in disbelief.
“You’re really not from culinary school? These buckwheat noodles are way too delicious!”
“Even someone like me who doesn’t have much pursuit in food, I finished all the soup today.”
“There’s no other secret, only practice makes perfect. You’ll reach this level too if you cook more.”
Ye Ran modestly bragged.
No way, this is the gold content of maxing out the Home Economics ex skill!
“To be honest, my daughter and I don’t know how to cook… We haven’t had such delicious food in a long time.”
The cool Wu Guo was also completely conquered by these delicious buckwheat noodles.
Her star-like eyes shone slightly, stroking her bulging belly.
It seems that this buckwheat noodle dish truly conquered the cool-natured beautiful woman.
