Don't be too bad

Chapter 723
Chapter 723
In the end, it was Lu Shiyao who broke the deadlock.

"Then Mr. Cheng, among the books you've read, is there anything you particularly like?"

Cheng Xuan shook his head firmly, "It's the same, some are even nonsense, and some seasonings are even unclear. I really don't know if the recipes are made by professional chefs."

Now Lu Shiyao is even more messy, he is so picky about recipes, then the future of this book seems to be hopeless!

"To tell you the truth, Miss Lu, I came up with the idea of ​​writing a recipe because I saw that many recipes were too unreliable. It just so happened that your publishing house contacted me, so I decided on it."

"..."

"Actually, the real recipe is in our chef's mind. It can't be expressed with some piled words. The heat, the amount of ingredients and condiments, and the time are all made after countless attempts. If you can really become a chef by looking at the recipes, then this chef is too good to be."

Speaking of this, Cheng Xuan seemed a little complacent.

Lu Shiyao rested her chin and listened carefully.

"My idea is, what is a dish? A dish represents home. The quality of a dish represents the warmth of this home. When we eat a familiar taste, we often say that I think of my father or I hope that everyone can make a good dish of the dish cooked by my mother, so that a person will always be warm."

Cheng Xuan's remarks immediately moved Lu Shiyao.

She never thought that Cheng Xuan, who was just a chef, could say such poetic remarks.

Listening to his language, it is impossible to imagine that he is a 37-year-old rough guy!
"Miss Lu, Miss Lu?" Cheng Xuan noticed that Lu Shiyao was staring at him with squinted eyes.

Lu Shiyao suddenly woke up from a dream.

"what?"

"Did you listen to me?" Cheng Xuan felt that it was very impolite for this kind of distracted attitude when talking with others.

"Of course I do. I just think Mr. Cheng is right."

Lu Shiyao lowered her head and smiled, and then said: "I think of my mother. My mother cooks at home. My mother is a woman who loves to eat, so she also likes to study food. Every time my father comes back from a business trip, he loses weight. , the reason is that the food outside is not delicious, and my sister and I are the same, every time we eat the dishes made by my mother, I feel that all the troubles are gone."

Cheng Xuan suddenly fell silent.

Lu Shiyao felt that she shouldn't say such a digression, so she smiled awkwardly.

"Sorry, Mr. Cheng, am I talking too much, please continue."

Cheng Xuan shook his head, there was something different in his eyes.

"No, I think you are very happy, Miss Lu."

"Huh? Happiness?"

"Yes, it is a very happy thing to have a mother who is good at cooking. I think that no matter whether a family is poor or rich, as long as the family can sit together and have a meal together, talking and laughing, the family is happy. happiness."

Lu Shiyao blinked her eyes a few times, she didn't know what was going on, didn't the two of them come out to talk about books?Why did you talk and ran to the topic of life and family?
"Well, Mr. Cheng, the original editor gave me two months to finish this book, but I think what you said is quite right. The recipes carry the warmth and happiness of a family. Make it out, I will buy time, and then you can think about what this book is going to look like, okay?"

This is the first time that Lu Shiyao wants to seriously make a book, a cookbook.

"That's fine, but..." Cheng Xuan scratched his head, "Will you be too embarrassed?"

"What's the trouble?"

"Didn't you say last time that you almost lost your job because of my affairs? If you can't get this cookbook done in two months, then your job..."

"Um... I will apply to the higher-ups myself."

"Well, I will hurry up and try to let you complete the task earlier."

When they met for the first time, Lu Shiyao suddenly lost the initial hostility towards Cheng Xuan, and Cheng Xuan also lost the initial disgust towards Lu Shiyao.

The two seemed to hit it off.

Lu Shiyao went to the editor-in-chief to apply for a longer time the next day. Although the editor-in-chief did not agree at first, but she couldn't stand Lu Shiyao's stubbornness, and there was no second person to take over the book, so she had to agree.

So she won three months.

Three days later, Lu Shiyao and Cheng Xuan made an appointment to meet for the second time. This time, the place was in Cheng Xuan's own apartment. It was a small two-bedroom apartment, and the location was not very good.

Coming to Cheng Xuan's house, it was as if Lu Shiyao had opened the door to a new world.

She didn't expect a rough man to manage his house so well.

It was spotlessly clean inside, I don't know if it was because Cheng Xuan cleaned it up deliberately because she was coming, or something else, anyway, the cleanliness is a bit outrageous.

The style of the whole house is small and fresh. The balcony is full of various flowers and plants, which are full of vitality. There are many paintings on the walls, most of which are landscape paintings, which are very poetic and picturesque.

In addition, this family also raised a golden retriever. When the huge golden retriever with golden hair appeared in front of her with its tongue sticking out, Lu Shiyao was still startled.

The golden retriever sniffed Lu Shiyao's shoes, then wagged its tail towards her.

"Mynah likes you very much."

"Mynah?"

"Its name is Starling." Cheng Xuan introduced.

"Oh."

"Sit down first, I'll get you a glass of water." Cheng Xuan went to get the glass while speaking.

Lu Shiyao sat on the sofa, this house was too clean, she guessed that Cheng Xuan must have a very virtuous wife to keep such a small house clean and tidy.

The starling squatted in front of Lu Shiyao and kept wagging his tail.

When she was a child, she also liked dogs very much, but Xia Xiaoxi felt that there were enough children in the family, and she was really annoyed, so she firmly disagreed with keeping dogs, so she never raised dogs since she was a child.

Lu Shiyao reached out and touched mynah's head, and mynah narrowed his eyes in enjoyment.

"Hello, starling."

The starling stretched out its front paws to shake hands with Lu Shiyao. It was the first time Lu Shiyao had seen such a spirited dog.

Cheng Xuan came out, "Say hello to the starling, and it will shake hands with you."

"Then your dog training is too good, right?"

"It's okay." Cheng Xuan put a glass of water in front of Lu Shiyao.

Lu Shiyao looked around, "The paintings on your wall are beautiful."

"Really? I drew it casually."

"Draw... just randomly?" Lu Shiyao always thought that this painting should be bought, but it is not a famous work, after all, she has never seen it before, "Did you draw these paintings?"

"Yeah, can't you see it?"
