Bai Lu's eyes curved up with a smile as she spoke, she was afraid that just looking at it was fake, and that her own desire to eat it was real.
"Since you have such a taste, I would like to see it for myself. What kind of food would you like to cook?"
"A dish of tofu."
"Tofu?"
Hearing this, Bai Lu and Ting Yun looked at each other, not quite understanding.
"Tofu dishes...are relatively rare. Shangziwei next door has a dish called Chenpo Tofu which has always been well-received. The tofu there is of the best quality. If you want to show off your cooking skills, I can borrow the kitchen from their chef."
"Okay, let's go next door."
"Wait! I haven't paid yet! Wait for me!"
Bai Lu jumped down from the chair, ran to the short aunt to settle the bill, and then followed the two of them to Shang Ziwei next door.
"Hey, Miss Tingyun, what brings you here? I haven't seen you in my shop for a long time."
Just as I arrived at Shangwei, an excited voice was heard.
"Alas, I've been traveling a lot and rarely have the chance to stay in Luofu. I've only been back for two days."
Tingyun smiled and then introduced himself to Zhou Xingxing.
"My benefactor, this is the chef of Shangziwei, Yan Cui."
"Ms. Tingyun, this is..."
When Yan Cui saw that Tingyun actually called the man in front of him benefactor, she couldn't help but stare at Zhou Xingxing with her eyes wide open.
"Hello, my name is Xing, and I just helped Miss Tingyun a little unintentionally."
Zhou Xingxing waved his hand.
"I see. Lord Bai Lu is here too. Are you three going to have dinner together?"
Yan Cui nodded and asked.
"No, we just had a smoked meat burger, but Miss Tingyun didn't have much appetite."
Bai Lu touched her belly and said.
"Alas, Lord Bailu only knows how to favor the food in the next door food pavilion, and doesn't even bother to come and have a seat with us at Shangziwei."
"It can't be helped. Shangziwei doesn't sell smoked meat burgers."
"Although we don't have bacon burgers, we do have meat burgers. Would you like to try it, Lord Bailu?"
"Ugh! That sticky thing with eyeballs! Forget it..."
Seeing that Bai Lu was not interested, Yan Cui sighed.
"Well, if you three aren't here to eat, what are you here for?"
"Yan Cui, my benefactor said he wants to use the kitchen."
Tingyun smiled and said to Yan Cui.
"Kitchen? That's fine. It's not dinner time yet and there are no customers in the store. But do you want to cook something?"
Yan Cui raised her eyebrows. It was the first time she heard of borrowing a kitchen.
"Just now during the meal, Miss Tingyun said she didn't have much appetite, so this young man said he wanted to cook a dish for Miss Tingyun himself."
Bai Lu immediately said from the side.
"Oh~?"
Upon hearing this, Yan Cui's voice couldn't help but lengthen out, and then she secretly glanced at Zhou Xingxing.
Then she nodded silently. Miss Tingyun has been single for so long, it seems that the time has finally come.
"Of course, no problem, but Miss Tingyun is very picky. We haven't seen her serve our famous dishes for several times. Is that okay with you, little brother?"
"Whatever, just do it first and be done with it."
"Haha, I like this, then follow me."
Yan Cui laughed twice, led Zhou Xingxing into the kitchen, and asked Bai Lu and Ting Yun to wait outside.
"What dish do you want to make, little brother? I have all the ingredients, all of them are top quality."
Yan Cui came to the warehouse and pointed to the warehouse full of vegetables and meat.
"Just give me a piece of tofu."
Zhou Xingxing looked around but couldn't find the tofu.
"Tofu?"
Yan Cui uttered a puzzled sound, but did not ask any further questions. She ran to a jar and took out a piece of tofu.
"The signature dish of my restaurant is Chen Po's Tofu, but I have to tell you first that Miss Tingyun has no interest in this dish. If you want to use tofu to attract Miss Tingyun, you're making a wrong calculation."
Yan Cui said with a little concern.
“Maybe it’s not that I don’t like the ingredients, but that I don’t like the cooking method.”
Zhou Xingxing smiled slightly, took the tofu and walked towards the kitchen.
"How to cook? I've tried stir-frying, steaming, boiling, and frying...what else can I try?"
Yan Cui couldn't understand it, so she shook her head and followed Zhou Xingxing into the kitchen.
Zhou Xingxing poured a pot of oil into the pot without any hesitation, which made Yan Cui's eyelids twitch.
"Brother, you need so much oil to make tofu?"
Looking at this operation, Yan Cui was a little confused.
"Of course, it has to explode after all."
Zhou Xingxing gently put the tofu cut into small slices into the pot, and the oil sizzled and a lot of white bubbles appeared.
Yan Cui said no more upon seeing this, wanting to see what this person in front of her could do.
After a while, Zhou Xingxing took out the tofu slices that were fried until golden brown and put them aside for later use.
Then add a bunch of sauces, spices and rock sugar to another pot, then add water and cover it...
Half an hour later, slices of fried tofu were taken out of the marinade and placed on a plate, exuding a rich marinated aroma.
"Hey, this tofu is fried first and then marinated. The result is pretty good. What else do we need to do next?"
Seeing this, Yan Cui couldn't help but nodded.
Although this dish seems simpler than any other dish in his restaurant, it has all the flavors and tastes.
"It's ready."
Zhou Xingxing picked up the plate and said.
"Okay? Is that all?"
Yan Cui was shocked. Miss Tingyun didn't even look down on all the signature dishes in her restaurant. How could she think that this ordinary dish of fried and then braised tofu was enough?
"Young man, you can't fool around with love. If you tell anyone about this, I'm afraid there will be no hope for you and Miss Tingyun..."
Seeing that a love that had not yet fully sprouted was about to wither away in front of her, Yan Cui could not help but advise.
"Ah? I just made a dish because I saw that Miss Tingyun had a poor appetite. Don't think too much about it."
Zhou Xingxing explained speechlessly.
Yan Cui shook her head, her face full of disbelief.
After all, this is the first time that I have seen Miss Tingyun call me benefactor.
"Oh, forget it, that's all I have to say, just cherish it..."
Zhou Xingxing's face darkened when he heard this. He didn't dare to make any such plans, otherwise he would be killed by Huanlong without knowing it.
Carrying the fried tofu and walking out of the door, Bai Lu saw someone coming out and immediately stood on a chair and tiptoed to look at the things on the plate impatiently.
Tingyun still maintained that calm smile and watched Zhou Xingxing put the dishes in front of him.
"This dish of yours is very unique. Compared with the complicated dishes of Xianzhou, it is very different."
Tingyun looked at the plate of fried tofu in front of him with a chuckle.
"Although the sparrow is small, it has all the organs. Miss Tingyun, don't underestimate this dish of braised fried tofu. You will know after you try it."
Seeing Zhou Xingxing's confident look, Tingyun nodded slightly, then picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of fried tofu, put it in front of his mouth and took a bite.
Chew chew chew——
Suddenly, a gleam of light flashed in Tingyun's eyes, and his tail shook a few times.

When Zhou Xingxing saw Tingyun's reaction, he was delighted.
As expected, foxes all love fried tofu. The two-dimensional world is not lying to me.
"What did you just say this was? Braised fried tofu?"
Tingyun looked at Zhou Xingxing with a little curiosity and asked.
"Yes, it's a very simple dish, and it's easy to carry. It has a unique flavor whether you eat it hot or cold with noodles."
Zhou Xingxing nodded and gave a brief introduction.
Tingyun nodded, took another bite of the fried tofu, squinted his eyes with a smile, and chewed it carefully with his hands covering his cheeks.
"Hey, is it really that delicious? It actually whetted Miss Tingyun's appetite!"
Bai Lu was greatly shocked. She had thought the plate was just a few golden pieces and was quite ordinary, but she had not expected Ting Yun's reaction to be so great.
"I'll try it too!"
Bai Lu also picked up a piece and took a big bite.
"Hmm... it's pretty good, but it's still not as good as my smoked meat burger."
Bai Lu took a few more bites and then commented.
"That's a shame. I'll make you a special dish when I have the chance."
