Forced into a romantic relationship

Chapter 205 Cooking Mastery

"Hahaha, I was just joking."

Noticing Han Zhou's strange look, Zhang Xinyue laughed loudly, seemed quite satisfied with the other person's expression, winked and said, "I know, you must be Sister Lianyu's boyfriend, right?"

"No."

Han Zhou shook his head and denied it. This guess was worse than the joke just now.

"Oh?" Zhang Xinyue's face was slightly condensed, staring at him with a scrutinizing face, "Did you spend the night here last night?"

"Yes, but..."

"Did Sister Lianyu bring you back?"

"Well, but..."

"Is she not awake yet?"

"It should be, but..."

"Then you are not boyfriend and girlfriend?" Zhang Xinyue said in a tone that sounded like a case had been solved.

What novel theory of judgment is this?

Han Zhou forced a smile: "We are really just a teacher-student relationship."

Hey, why do I always feel that this sentence sounds familiar...

"I know, one code equals the other, and no one said teachers and students can't be boyfriend and girlfriend."

Zhang Xinyue smiled brightly, and she didn't know if it was an illusion, but Han Zhou always felt that he saw a familiar shadow in this woman——

Xiao Yuyan.

Even if this guy is not the leader of CP, he is definitely a fun-loving person who is afraid of chaos in the world.

Just as he was about to explain, something suddenly occurred to him, his expression suddenly changed, and he hurriedly ran into the room.

"Eh? What's wrong with you? Am I that scary?"

Zhang Xinyue was stunned, and immediately ran after him with the soy milk. After seeing the other party running all the way to the kitchen and turning off the natural gas as quickly as possible, she finally understood and said in surprise, "Are you making breakfast? "

"Ah."

Han Zhou took a look at the soup. Although it took a little longer to cook, there was nothing wrong with it.

"Love breakfast?" Zhang Xinyue winked.

Han Zhou was too lazy to pay attention to her.

But this was a very familiar woman. She quickly came over, twitched her nose, and then said with admiration: "Is this tomato and egg soup? It's amazing."

"What's so great about this."

"Isn't it great?"

After making sure that this guy was not joking, Han Zhou took a deep breath, found a basin and poured the soup into it, and said, "This dish is probably second only to boiling cabbage in boiling water."

"Boiling water to cook cabbage? Is it easy?"

Han Zhou was stunned, looked at the other party with a "Are you serious" look, and said with a horrified look on his face: "You can't?"

Yes, it's horror.

"No." Zhang Xinyue shook her head blankly, "I don't even go into the kitchen."

Could it be that this woman's identity is that of a young lady who has nothing to do with sex?
Han Zhou had a headache, sighed and said: "The first step is to add water to the pot, the second step is to put the cabbage into the pot, the third step... I shouldn't need to teach you this step, right?"

"I want it, what's the third step?" Zhang Xinyue looked curious.

"...fire."

Han Zhou no longer wanted to talk to this woman. He brought the soup into the living room. Zhang Xinyue followed him out of the kitchen and took a look at Ouyang Lianyu's room.

Seeing that the door to the other party's room was closed, she knew it in her heart and thought that the other party was indeed in the room. She couldn't hide her gossip, but she resisted not asking.

The tomato and egg soup on the table was more fragrant than anything she had ever seen before. She shook the soy milk in her hand and suddenly no longer felt sorry for the fried dough sticks she had just dropped on the ground. She looked at Han Zhou pitifully: "This soup is so fragrant. Do you have my share of breakfast today?"

"Yes." This was Teacher Ouyang's friend. Han Zhou's attitude was quite friendly and he nodded, "But you have to find the bowl by yourself."

He had just been searching in the kitchen for a long time and only found a bowl and a plate in the cupboard. His mood was extremely complicated.

"no problem!"

Zhang Xinyue was overjoyed and excitedly pushed open the unlocked door of the room. She quickly took out two sets of bowls and chopsticks, took them to the kitchen and cleaned them quickly, then returned to the living room to prepare for dinner, which she did very quickly.

Han Zhou looked confused and said hesitantly: "If I read it correctly... did you take this set of bowls and chopsticks from the room?"

"Yes." Zhang Xinyue nodded.

"Why aren't they in the kitchen?"

"Why in the kitchen?"

"Shouldn't the dishes and chopsticks be kept in the kitchen?"

"Oh...you don't know yet."

Only then did Zhang Xinyue react and explained, "Because Sister Lianyu has inconvenient mobility, it is easy to knock down bowls and plates in the kitchen in a wheelchair. Xiaomei and I moved away and couldn't take care of her, so we left her alone." The extra bowls were put in the room, leaving only a set of tableware for her."

Han Zhou suddenly realized that it seemed that Ouyang Lianyu's two roommates took good care of her, and they actually considered it to this extent.

But can't you just put the bowl in the cupboard?
"That's it, I know."

He nodded, turned and glanced at Ouyang Lianyu's room door, "That..."

"My name is Zhang Xinyue, you can call me Sister Xinyue, hehehe."

Why can you smile so obscenely...

Han Zhou resisted the urge to complain and asked with a sullen face: "Sister Xinyue...Sister, do you know how long it usually takes Teacher Ouyang to get up?"

"You don't know?" Zhang Xinyue's eyes widened.

"I don't know." Han Zhou sighed, "I stress again, Teacher Ouyang and I are really just a teacher-student relationship. For some reason, I stayed here for one night last night."

"oh, I see……"

Zhang Xinyue deliberately dragged out the last sentence very long, obviously not believing it, but she still answered Han Zhou's question, "Sister Lianyu gets up on time, usually no more than eight o'clock. You see, the time you prepared breakfast is very suitable. Just now You’ll have breakfast when you get up, hehehehe.”

It's 58:2 now, [-] minutes to go until [-]:[-].

As if to confirm her words, the next second, the two people in the living room heard the sound of the door opening at the same time.

Ouyang Lianyu walked out of the room in a wheelchair, with long hair disheveled and no makeup. However, even if she was bare-faced, it was still difficult to find any flaws on her face. She just looked a little less mature and a little more green. astringent.

"Classmate Han Zhou, are you watching TV?"

She seemed a little sleepy. She put on her glasses while talking, and then she saw Zhang Xinyue in the living room.

The air suddenly became quiet.

Ouyang Lianyu's first reaction when seeing this roommate she hadn't seen for a long time was of course surprise. After all, the two had a good relationship. However, when she saw the weird smile on the other person's face and the helpless look of Han Zhou standing by, she could only It felt like being struck by lightning, and I instantly lost my sleepiness.

A feeling of nervousness and guilt arose spontaneously.

Although she had a clear conscience, when her friend found out that she, a teacher, had spent an evening with a student, she must have been lying if she didn't care at all, especially since this friend himself was not very serious.

Ouyang Lianyu pretended to be calm, with a gentle smile on his face: "Xinyue, why are you here?"

"I'm free today. I'll come over and move all the things that I haven't finished moving before." The smile on Zhang Xinyue's face did not diminish at all.

"That's it."

Ouyang Lianyu ignored the other person's winking expression and continued to ask, "Didn't Xiaomei come with you?"

"Forget about that woman who forgets her friends after seeing sex. She and her boyfriend went off to live in a world of two, and she showed off her power in front of me for a long time before she left."

Zhang Xinyue had a sour expression on her face, and sighed, "You all betrayed me, and now I am the only single one among the three of you."

She pretended to wipe her eyes.

As soon as Ouyang Lianyu heard this, he knew that the other party had indeed misunderstood, and quickly explained: "It's not what you think, Han Zhou and I just..."

"It's just an ordinary teacher-student relationship, right? I understand, I understand."

Zhang Xinyue showed an expression of understanding. Of course she could see that the two were not lovers, and they were just teasing now.

Sister Lianyu’s helpless look is very cute.

As expected, Ouyang Lianyu's face quickly turned red. It wasn't that she was shy, but anyone who was mistaken for having an affair with a student would feel embarrassed, right?

"Okay, okay, sister Lianyu, I'm just teasing you. I never thought you could get out of singles before me. Look at your expression."

Zhang Xinyue was very satisfied with Ouyang Lianyu's expression, and immediately laughed out loud, then turned to look at Han Zhou beside her with eyes wide open.

"I remember Sister Lianyu is a teacher at Linda, right? Are you a student at Linda?" "Yes."

Han Zhou's tone was perfunctory. He felt that this woman was too noisy.

"Tsk, you are both talented and beautiful."

Zhang Xinyue patted his shoulder in an old-fashioned manner, "Sister Lianyu is not a casual person. Since she is willing to take you home for the night, it means that she values ​​you very much. You must not let her down in the future. Do you understand?"

"Xinyue!" Ouyang Lianyu raised her voice and said anxiously, "What are you talking about? What is wrong with living up to someone else?"

"Oh, I want this kid to repay you by studying hard. I have no other intention." Zhang Xinyue smiled broadly.

Ouyang Lianyu had no choice but to look at Han Zhou apologetically: "I'm sorry, Xinyue is a carefree person, and sometimes she's not very serious..."

"It doesn't matter." Han Zhou shook his head and said, "Teacher, as long as you don't mind, I've already made breakfast. Come and eat."

"Thank you."

Ouyang Lianyu smiled and thanked her, pushing the wheelchair to the table.

"That's great. I also want to find a boyfriend who can cook and cook for me every day."

Zhang Xinyue sounded envious, and then sat down consciously holding the bowl.

"Xinyue, you..."

Looking at this incompetent former roommate, Ouyang Lianyu smiled bitterly, "It's time for you to learn how to cook. As you said, Xiaomei already has a boyfriend. What if she moves out one day?" There will be no one to cook for you.”

"I want to learn too, but it's not like you don't understand me, Sister Lianyu. It's not that I don't want to learn. It's just that I really have no talent. Cooking is simply more difficult for me than taking the postgraduate entrance examination." Zhang Xinyue said distressedly.

Han Zhou nodded secretly. The moment he heard the woman praise him for making tomato and egg soup, he roughly guessed the level of her cooking skills.

Zhang Xinyue chuckled and continued: "But don't worry about me, I will definitely find a boyfriend who can cook before Xiaomei moves out, and unless it is certified by me, I will not easily allow Xiaomei to have sex with anyone else." Living with a man."

She clenched her fists, showing a resolute expression that she would defend her best friend's happiness to the death, then lowered her head and took a sip of soup.

Ouyang Lianyu had a wry smile on her face. She had heard Xinyue and Xiaomei talking before. The two had been good friends since childhood and had been almost inseparable since they were in school. They had already made an agreement that they could fall in love in the future, but if If you want to enter the cohabitation stage, the man's character must be approved by each other.

I don’t know if these two people can get married in this life...

While thinking, Zhang Xinyue's eyes lit up, she suddenly stood up and said in a particularly exciting tone: "This is it, this is it! I will follow this standard when looking for boyfriends in the future!"

Ouyang Lianyu was startled by her reaction. It took him two seconds to understand the standard she was talking about. He looked at the bowl of soup on the other party's table curiously and asked, "Does it taste good?"

"It's more than delicious!" Zhang Xinyue left one sentence and continued to drink the soup.

Ouyang Lianyu felt that her roommate's performance was too exaggerated, so she turned to look at Han Zhou. Although the latter was also a little puzzled, he straightened his back in time and showed an arrogant expression, as if the God of Cooking was reincarnated.

She couldn't help laughing, lowered her head and took a sip. Unexpectedly, she was stunned the moment the soup entered her mouth.

“It tastes really good...”

Ouyang Lianyu opened her mouth slightly, couldn't help but praise, and then took a sip from the bowl.

She knew her cooking well enough that it wasn't unpalatable, so she didn't prepare too many condiments in the kitchen.

She was sure that the only common condiments in the kitchen were salt, MSG and soy sauce, but they clearly used the same condiments, but Han Zhou actually made such a unique taste.

No wonder this guy is so confident...

At the same time, Ouyang Lianyu couldn't help but have a similar thought to Zhang Xinyue -

You should really follow this standard when looking for a boyfriend.

But this thought soon turned into a wry smile.

If we really follow this standard, I'm afraid I'll have to be single for the rest of my life, right?
The reactions of these two people are too exaggerated...

Seeing both Ouyang Lianyu and Ouyang Lianyu looking in admiration, Han Zhou was a little puzzled. Although he was confident in his cooking skills, he also knew very well that what he cooked was not a dish that would shine and would not be exposed to others. Such a shocked look.

After all, it’s just a bowl of tomato and egg soup…

He picked up the bowl and tasted it, and soon showed a surprised expression.

The taste is indeed unexpectedly special. If I had to describe it, it would be more than a little fresh, but he didn't add any special seasoning...

As if he suddenly realized something, Han Zhou immediately looked at the status bar, and sure enough he found that the "Culinary Proficiency" in the skill column had disappeared at some point, and was replaced by a skill called "Cooking Proficiency".

[Culinary Mastery: Long-term study of food has brought your cooking skills to a higher level. Culinary proficiency has been upgraded to culinary proficiency - any food produced by your hands has certain delicious attributes (taste bud mobilization). rate increased by 20.00%), in the state of concentration, you have a 30.00% probability of making fine gourmet food (the taste bud mobilization rate increases by 50.00%), and a very low probability of making the best gourmet food (the taste bud mobilization rate increases by [-]%). Each probability will fluctuate up and down according to the properties of the ingredients.Note that the best delicacies are slightly addictive, so frequent consumption is not recommended. It is best to have an interval of more than one month between consumption. If addiction develops, it is recommended to take a powerful pill to eliminate the negative effects]

After quickly browsing the skill introduction, Han Zhou was completely stunned.

He didn't expect that one day he would be able to upgrade his skills by studying on his own. But the problem is that he hasn't studied cooking recently. He just made a bowl of tomato and egg soup. Is it because he has maxed out his proficiency?
What a surprise.

"Culinary Proficiency" is a very practical skill with very powerful effects. You must know that everyone has a desire for food. No one can refuse delicious food, and Han Zhou himself is no exception. Just making himself eat more delicious is already a great skill. What a skill.

What's more important is that this is a skill that can be used on others. After all, food is food, and there is no such thing as eating it himself to enjoy the delicious effect.

This has been verified by Ouyang Lianyu and the others.

Judging from the skill description alone, even the meals he cooks casually will be 20.00% more delicious than normal people. Once he is at the concentration level, there is a chance of making more delicious high-quality food that can even make people Addictingly delicious food.

Delicious food that can make people addictive...it's scary to think about it.

The reason why the bowl of tomato and egg soup on the table is so delicious is obviously because it is affected by the effect of "cooking proficiency", which enhances the so-called delicious attributes.

However, the thing that worries Han Zhou the most is the phrase "any food produced by your hands" mentioned in the skill description. The exact scope of this delineated area remains to be studied.

Just imagine, if this skill can be applied to some food production lines, then he will not need to worry about making money in the future. He will not have to worry about selling delicious products, but having to go to the assembly line for a walk every day seems too much. A little troublesome...

"Hey! Hey! Han Zhou? Little Han Zhou! Brother Han Zhou!"

Where did this guy get so many random names...

The noisy voice in his ears brought Han Zhou back from his thoughts. He looked at Zhang Xinyue holding an empty bowl across the table and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I'm asking you if you are interested in working as a chef at my house!" Zhang Xinyue said excitedly.

Personal chef?I heard that this job is quite lucrative, but the money comes in a little slow, and it takes a lot of time...

Han Zhou's thoughts were distracted and he said casually: "Then it depends on how much the salary can be."

Zhang Xinyue raised her right hand with a mysterious expression on her face.

"Five hundred?" Han Zhou raised his eyebrows slightly.

Zhang Xinyue was stunned and quickly shook her head.

"Fifty?"

A clear smile appeared on Zhang Xinyue's face, and she nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

Han Zhou showed a thoughtful look: "50? That can be considered..."

Zhang Xinyue coughed twice and quickly corrected: "Fifty is correct, but there is no ten thousand at the end."

Fifty?If there is no ten thousand... then it is just a block?Look at the shape of my mouth...

Han Zhou silently relived the lines from a certain movie in his previous life and refused firmly: "I'm sorry, although this salary makes me very excited, but my first priority now is to study hard and repay Teacher Ouyang." Cultivation of me.”

He never thought of agreeing to the other party from the beginning. The emergence of "proficient in cooking" broadened his ideas for making money, but personal chef is definitely not a suitable job.

Ouyang Lianyu glanced at him helplessly, smiled and shook his head.

If she could hire this guy as a personal chef for 50 yuan, then she might be tempted.

"Study? No problem!"

Zhang Xinyue patted her not-so-full breasts and promised emphatically, "Don't look at me like this, but I am a graduate student. If I didn't find it troublesome, I would just study for a doctorate. Guiding you in your studies is simply child's play."

Han Zhou said tactfully: "I prefer to be alone when studying. I am not used to having people around me."

"That's not a problem. I can teach you with the video on, online teaching, so you can be alone. In fact, the kitchen is quite quiet. I used to study there the most."

Han Zhou was shocked, who taught you this way of being alone?He made excuses: "I am a bit socially anxious and afraid of contact with strangers..."

"Really? You can't tell... But it doesn't matter. I'm a She Niu. You can be my personal chef and I can teach you how to get along with others. Besides, we're not strangers either. Is there any problem? Although Bring it forward." Zhang Xinyue looked expectant.

Han Zhou was silent for a moment: "I don't like thick-skinned people."

"Me too...wait, what do you mean?"

"Literally." Han Zhou's expression did not change.

"you……"

Looking at the two people talking to each other in front of him, Ouyang Lianyu showed a headache expression on his face, stood up and silently filled himself a bowl of soup.
