Love Apartment: Yifei is my junior aunt

Chapter 532 Xiaoxian's Confession

Nanfeng's words truly shocked everyone. Even Wanyu, who only knew how to make fried rice with eggs, couldn't help but say, "But even if you only know how to cook eggs, there's no need to buy so many different kinds of eggs."

"Heh, you don't understand the level of this master chef. Even just making eggs requires a great deal of skill."

Nanfeng pointed to the eggs he had bought and methodically explained the fate he had prepared for them.

"Chicken eggs are tender enough to make scrambled eggs, duck eggs are used to make poached eggs, salted eggs, once chopped, are a dish in themselves, and preserved eggs are chopped up and used to make preserved egg and lean pork congee..."

Nanfeng paused for a moment, then slapped his forehead in annoyance and said, "Damn it, I actually forgot to buy lean meat!"

"But it's not a big problem. How about... you guys try century egg fried rice?"

"Alas……"

Everyone waved their hands repeatedly, their faces full of refusal.

Century egg fried rice – just hearing the name gives off a weird vibe.

They had a delicious meal of Fei's innovative fried rice yesterday, but they didn't want to experience the taste of a culinary disaster again today.

"All right."

Nanfeng's tone was full of regret. He continued, "It's okay. Actually, the preserved egg congee should taste pretty good too."

"If all else fails, you can try Zhang Wei's all-purpose seasoning. It will definitely taste better than plain congee with preserved eggs."

"A universal seasoning?"

Yifei, who loves to cook, immediately became excited: "I never expected that Zhang Wei, who rarely cooks, would actually have a secret recipe for seasonings."

"Nanfeng, hurry up and tell me how to make his all-purpose seasoning. I'll find a notebook and write it down."

Upon hearing this, Nanfeng burst out laughing: "What recipe? Zhang Wei's all-purpose seasoning is just the seasoning packet from instant noodles."

"what?"

Everyone gasped in shock.

Nanfeng shrugged and explained with a smile, "Zhang Wei loves instant noodles, and sometimes he can eat two or three packets at a time. But he's worried that eating too much instant noodle seasoning is bad for his health, so he only puts in one seasoning packet each time, which is why he's accumulated quite a lot of seasoning."

"As you all know, it's impossible to expect Zhang Wei to throw away the seasoning packet, so he uses the remaining seasoning packet as a universal seasoning."

"For example, he would use the oil packets he had saved up for a long time to fry eggs and sausages, sprinkle the powder packets on scallion pancakes, steamed buns, and twisted rolls, and heat up the sauce packets and put them on a plate to dip fries..."

"You guys can try it later too; the instant noodle flavored preserved egg congee should be pretty good."

Everyone was stunned by what they heard.

Is this Zhang Wei's all-purpose seasoning?

This is outrageous!

Yifei rolled her eyes and complained with obvious disgust, "Zhang Wei eats instant noodles every day, and he's still worried that eating too much instant noodle seasoning is bad for his health... Besides, he still ends up eating all that seasoning anyway!"

"It's not that he ate it all himself." Nanfeng chuckled to himself. "I remember last time Teacher Zeng had a cold, Zhang Wei made him chicken soup using the seasoning packet from mushroom and chicken noodle soup, plus some chicken bouillon."

"What?!"

Zeng Xiaoxian was shocked. He gritted his teeth and said angrily, "I knew it! I couldn't find a single piece of chicken in his chicken soup! Zhang Wei lied to me and said it was because he cooked the chicken soup so well that all the meat dissolved into the broth!"

He was so touched that he was moved to tears when Zhang Wei, such a stingy person, actually gave him a bowl of chicken soup while he was sick.

If he hadn't been heterosexual, he might have already offered himself to Zhang Wei back then!

In the end, her sincerity was met with Zhang Wei's trickery.

He's tired. Let the world just end.

The outspoken and naturally naive Mario remarked, "I don't think this is Zhang Wei's fault. He probably didn't expect that you, Teacher Zeng, have never even eaten instant noodles before."

"Nonsense, how could I have never eaten instant noodles?" Xiaoxian pouted. "I just haven't eaten mushroom and chicken noodle soup."

Everyone burst into laughter.

Nanfeng mentioned the ingredients he had bought and confidently assured everyone, "In short, I'll show you all my skills in my dream this time."

Before anyone could reply, he straightened his back and strode confidently toward the kitchen.

Driven by curiosity, Wanyu and Youyou followed Nanfeng to the kitchen, eager to witness his culinary skills in their dream.

Yifei and the others sat back on the sofa. Guangu covered his mouth and asked in a voice barely audible, "Don't you guys think Nanfeng seems a lot more mature in the dream? He never used to have the idea of cooking."

Yifei quickly turned her head to look at Nanfeng, and seeing that Nanfeng was still arranging the ingredients and obviously didn't care much about their discussion, she bent down and whispered her reply.

"Of course, in reality he's just a child, but in his dream he's his own father... Although the relationship is a bit strange, a man should be more mature when he becomes a father."

Yifei and Guangu were chatting quietly when Wanyu suddenly asked them a curious question from behind.

"Nanfeng, what are you going to do with these ostrich eggs?"

"This ostrich egg is amazing! I'm planning to use it to make an incredibly delicious ostrich egg cake."

Guan Gu and Yi Fei fell silent upon hearing this.

"We were just talking about how the south wind has ripened..."

"...Let's pretend we didn't say anything."

"agree!"

At this moment, Nanfeng was still explaining how to make ostrich egg cake: "Just cut a hole in the tip of the egg and use chopsticks to beat the egg mixture inside."

"Then pour out half of the egg mixture, and add sugar, baking powder, salad oil, ice cream, and concentrated lemon juice to the ostrich eggs..."

"After mixing well, put the cut-off eggshells back on, then microwave it for a bit, and then..."

"Then the whole microwave oven will explode!"

Guan Gu stood up in shock, staring at Nan Feng in utter astonishment: "Who taught you to put a reconstituted ostrich egg in the microwave?!"

"What's the problem?"

It wasn't Nanfeng who raised this question, but Yifei.

"you……"

Guan Gu's eyes widened, and he was momentarily speechless: "In short, eggs can't be heated in the microwave, otherwise the internal pressure will be too high and they'll explode!"

Xiao Xian in a suit quietly added, "And if you really put sugar and baking powder or other weird stuff into ostrich eggs, who knows if the microwave will explode."

Nanfeng said "Oh," and then asked, "Where can I buy one of those special microwave ovens that you put things in and can take out a cake after a while, as seen in the video?"

……

Guan Gu replied with a blank expression, "That's an oven."

"Oh, the oven."

Nanfeng and Yifei nodded in sudden realization.

Xiao Xian in the suit remained silent, then suddenly turned to Zeng Xiao Xian beside him and said, "If Nan Feng wants to learn to cook in real life, you must stop him!"

"And then there's Yifei... never mind, it's a miracle that she's been cooking at 3601 for so many years without any problems."

"You should do more good deeds in your daily life, and hopefully miracles will continue to favor the people of 3601."

Zeng Xiaoxian's expression froze instantly.

Wanyu and Youyou also shrank their necks and hurriedly fled the kitchen. They had to stay away from this kitchen idiot who couldn't even tell the difference between an oven and a microwave.

...Although neither of them could actually tell the difference between an oven and a microwave.

"What happened?"

Yu Mo and Xiao Nanfeng came out of the restroom. Seeing everyone's frightened expressions, she quickly guessed what had happened.

"Oh, Dong, I knew you couldn't handle this by yourself. Let's do it together."

As she spoke, she rolled up her sleeves, tied her hair into a ponytail, and slowly walked into the kitchen.

Youyou nudged Xiaonanfeng: "What the hell is Adong again?"

Xiao Nanfeng gestured for her to be quiet, indicating that Yu Mo shouldn't hear: "A Dong is my father's name, his name is Chu Dongshan."

"Dongshan?" Xiaoxian said with a sly smile, "So your dad is the Eagle Knight."

"It's the 'mountain' of 'mountain peak'!"

Xiao Nan glared at him angrily.

Guan Gu suddenly realized, "So Yu Mo really hasn't woken up from her dream yet. No wonder she wasn't very enthusiastic towards us."

Wanyu suddenly noticed something interesting: "I remember the old master of the Nanfeng family is called Chu Zhongtian, and the old master's name is..."

"Chu Beihai," Yifei said, covering her mouth with a laugh, "In their village, the surname Chu is basically passed down from generation to generation in the order of [east, south, west, north, and center].

Xiao Xian laughed even harder: "I told you your hometown is the Village of Light and Shadow, Little Flame Dragon Warrior, hahaha..."

"hehe……"

Xiao Nanfeng sneered and stomped on his foot with all her might, instantly silencing the smug Xiao Xian.

"what!"

Zeng Xiaoxian clutched his foot and cried out in pain, but Yu Mo's scream was even louder than his cry.

Everyone turned to look at the kitchen in surprise, only to see Yu Mo shrinking back in a panic with her eyes closed. The stove in front of her was blazing with flames, the menacing flames swirling around the oil pan on the stove and spreading all the way to the boiling hot oil inside.

boom!

With a loud bang, the scorching flames engulfed the wooden cabinet directly above the stove, causing it to burst into flames and billowing black smoke.

"What's going on?" Nanfeng exclaimed from the refrigerator.

Upon hearing Nanfeng's voice, Yu Mo ran to him without hesitation, pleading, "I just turned on the stove, added oil, and then went to prepare the eggs. How did they suddenly catch fire!"

"It's alright, it's alright."

Nanfeng, both amused and exasperated, covered Yu Mo's eyes with one hand and lightly snapped her fingers with the other.

The raging fire, which was spreading unchecked in all directions, suddenly stopped with the snap of the fingers. Almost instantly, the wildfire vanished, leaving only billowing smoke and charred cabinets as evidence of how fierce the fire had been.

Yifei and the others coughed repeatedly from the thick smoke. Xiaoxian, dressed in a suit, coughed as he slapped Zeng Xiaoxian hard, saying, "Remember...cough cough...there's also Yumo, whatever you do...cough cough...don't let her go into the kitchen and start cooking!"

Zeng Xiaoxian nodded repeatedly in agreement, saying, "I understand now. Other chefs cook for money, but these three guys are killing people!"

Thankfully, this is a dream world, otherwise they would be busy putting out fires right now.

Guan Gu's face was streaked with tears from the smoke. He muttered to himself, "Now I understand why my dad said to approach the kitchen with reverence—it's really dangerous if you don't!"

"What are they saying?" Yu Mo asked, her eyes covered by Nan Feng.

"It's alright." Nanfeng paused, then continued, "Everyone has put out the fire."

Yu Mo was taken aback: "So fast? But I didn't hear anything."

"Because they are very professional," Nanfeng said, making things up.

Yu Mo nodded: "Oh."

Nanfeng looked at the kitchen, which was burned to a crisp, and sighed helplessly.

"How about... we just order takeout?"

"agree!"

The crowd's tone was filled with relief at surviving the ordeal.

Even if this is a dream world and nothing serious will happen, if Nanfeng and Yumo are left busy in the kitchen, who knows what even more terrifying things might happen.

……

Two hours later, after everyone finished their hearty takeout, they leaned back in their chairs, patting their round bellies and letting out satisfied groans.

"Cool!"

Although the quality of this takeout is only so-so, compared to Nanfeng's "Ostrich Egg Fried Eggs" and Yumo's "Burning Kitchen," even if Yifei were to cook now, they would feel that what they are eating is a delicacy.

Yu Mo touched her lower abdomen, got up to go to the toilet, and Nan Feng, seeing this, asked everyone:

"Now that we've finished eating, let's chat and digest our food."

Nanfeng asked, "Tell me how you got here. I'm quite curious."

"Forehead……"

Everyone fell silent.

"What's wrong?"

Nanfeng chuckled and teased, "Is it because it's too embarrassing to tell me?"

They exchanged glances, then proceeded to perform in various creative ways: "Ah, yes, yes, yes."

"Yes, it's really embarrassing."

"It's absolutely unbearable to recall!"

"We absolutely do not want to recall it, absolutely not!"

"Yes, let's make our dark history disappear in our dreams."

"..."

Nanfeng crossed his arms and glanced sideways at the group of guys.

Just as his sharp gaze made everyone feel like they were sitting on pins and needles, like they had thorns in their backs, like they had a fishbone stuck in their throats, Nanfeng nodded gently.

"Oh, I see..."

Youyou's eyes lit up: "So, Nanfeng, you're not going to ask?"

"No, that's not it. Now I'm even more interested."

Nanfeng curled her lip in disdain: "Besides, your acting skills are really terrible, especially yours!"

"Tang Youyou!"

"I?!!"

Upon hearing this, Youyou's pupils dilated in shock. She pointed at herself in astonishment: "I'm the worst actor?"

"I'm a professional actor!"

"But you're a big mouth."

Nanfeng rolled her eyes at Youyou: "We've known each other for almost a year, and this is the first time I've seen your desire to share so weak."

Youyou's imposing manner immediately weakened by seven-tenths.

"What, you guys didn't cheat, did you?"
