After Being an Improper Control Group as an Abandoned Wealthy Wife, She Effortlessly Came Out on Top

Chapter 27: Can't You Cook?

Watching Meng Chuyuan leave, the director patted his chest and took a deep breath. He turned around, picked up the unfinished meat bun on the table, and sat down to continue eating.

At this moment, the director's phone suddenly rang. As he took out his phone, he complained, "Can't you just let me eat some steamed buns…"

However, when he saw the caller ID, joy flashed across the director's eyes. He immediately adjusted his state of mind and swallowed the steamed bun in his mouth before answering the call.

"Hello, Director Luo. I'm from XX Video. Our platform has been paying attention to the live broadcast variety show you've been doing recently and we feel that it's very suitable to be broadcasted on our platform. We sincerely invite your show to join our video app and broadcast it jointly. Are you interested in working with us?"

When the director heard this, he was so happy that he could not close his mouth. He immediately agreed. "Of course. It's my honor to work with your company."

"Then we'll send the contract to your email later. We can also communicate through email. Is that okay?"

"No problem." After hanging up, the director still had a smile on his face. He turned to his colleague in charge of statistics and said, "Xiao Zhao, report the live-stream statistics of each group to me today."

"Meng Chuyuan's group's live-stream popularity is leading for the time being. The data fluctuations in the remaining two groups don't seem to be very big."

The director nodded slightly, as if he had already known this would happen.

After two days of observation, although Qi Zhen and Liao Jiake were top celebrities, their two teams only knew how to work blindly. Without innovative content, even if they had their own traffic, it would be difficult to break through in the long term.

Seeing the assistant director walk over, Director Luo asked curiously, "What did Meng Chuyuan's team do today?"

"They went up the mountain to pick mushrooms. What's wrong?"

"Did they do anything other than pick mushrooms?"

The assistant director nodded and said in a teasing tone, "Picking hawthorn and picking pine cones. It was interesting at the end when they teased you."

"…" When the director heard the last sentence, the smile on his face disappeared.

…

Ever since Meng Chuyuan got home, she had been fiddling with the things she had brought back from the mountains.

After harvesting the pine nuts, she sat down to wash the hawthorns.

Lu Jinsen went out for a while. When he came back, he was hugging a bunch of tree branches.

[Young Master is so self-aware this time. He went to pick up branches after returning home. Hahaha.]

[This young master has finally figured out his place. Congratulations, Sister Meng, for bringing up a lackey.]

[Sure, a wise man submits to circumstances. I admire you.]

[I'm hugging your thigh tightly. I won't lack meat if I follow Sister Meng from now on. Hahaha.]

Lu Jinsen raised his hand and looked at his watch. It was almost midnight. Seeing that Meng Chuyuan was still washing her hawthorn, he could not help but walk over and ask, "When will you be done?"

"What?" Meng Chuyuan looked up at him.

Lu Jinsen stretched out his hand and placed the watch in front of her. He tapped the dial twice with his finger. "Look at the time."

"Can't you look at it yourself?" Meng Chuyuan glanced at him and ignored him.

Lu Jinsen was forced to put on a helpless expression. He frowned slightly and said without changing his expression, "Can you put this thing aside and cook first?"

"You're already an adult. Don't you know how to cook?"

Lu Jinsen said firmly, "No."

If he could cook, he wouldn't have come to Meng Chuyuan.

"Brother, if you don't know how to cook, just learn. I'll give you a chance to learn how to cook today."

"…"

Lu Jinsen was called into the kitchen by Meng Chuyuan. Then, she instructed him to wash the vegetables and cut the carrots.

Meng Chuyuan was in charge of cutting the mutton and putting it into a basin. Then, she added some cooking wine, salt, and starch. After spreading them evenly, she marinated the mutton and let the taste seep in.

She had prepared everything she could. Then, she turned to look at Lu Jinsen. Seeing that he had cut the carrot into strange shapes, she could not help but walk over and scold him. "I asked you to cut it into pieces. What are you cutting?"

Lu Jinsen put on a strong look and said coldly, "You didn't tell me what it's like to cut it."

"Give me the knife. Go to the side and watch." Meng Chuyuan pushed him aside. She picked up the kitchen knife and diced the carrots. His hand speed stunned Lu Jinsen.

"Have you learned it?" Meng Chuyuan put down the kitchen knife and tilted her head to look at him. He nodded hesitantly.

After a while, Meng Chuyuan asked him to fry two eggs. In the end, they were charred when they were out of the pot. When the camera zoomed in, there were obviously egg shells inside.

"It's impressive that you can cook two eggs like this."

Embarrassment flashed across Lu Jinsen's eyes as he tried to regain his dignity. "Maybe it tastes alright."

Meng Chuyuan clicked her tongue and said disdainfully, "Who gave you the confidence?"

[He's useless, He's useless, hahaha.]

[Lu Jinsen said: I think I know how to use my eyes, but not my hands.]

[I'm dying from laughter guys. He really doesn't know how to do it.]

[I don't dare to laugh because when I first started frying eggs, they were also like this 0_0. There were even shells in the yolk.]

[I can watch their conversation for a year.]

Meng Chuyuan washed the pan that Lu Jinsen had used to fry the eggs and called him back. "I'll teach you to make a hard dish. Stir-fried mutton."

Although Lu Jinsen did not know how to cook at all, he was willing to learn from Meng Chuyuan.

Lu Jinsen walked towards her and humbly asked, "How?"

Meng Chuyuan said, "Pour oil into the pot first. You can add more."

After the oil was heated up, Meng Chuyuan instructed him to add the onions, ginger, garlic, and other seasonings that he had prepared. Then, she stir-fried them. Then, she added a piece of mutton and stir-fried it…

"It's about time. Let's start the pot and plate it."

Under her personal guidance, Lu Jinsen completed the stir-fried mutton dish.

The mutton that had just been cooked was fragrant and delicious. It should taste very good.

After making a stir-fried mutton dish, Lu Jinsen could not help but smile. When he looked up at Meng Chuyuan, the word 'praise me' was written on his face.

However, Meng Chuyuan chose to ignore it and pretended not to see it. She said to him calmly, "Bring the dishes out. I can start eating after I stir-fry the carrots."

[I'm going to die of laughter from Lu Jinsen's smug expression. Sister Meng doesn't even care about him. Hahaha.]

[Amazing. Ever since I watched this variety show, I've been smiling like a fool. My mother thinks I'm crazy.]

[Looks like Sister Meng's disregard has caused deep damage to Young Master, hahaha.]

[What a good thing to disregard. Your expression when asking for praise is very similar to my dog Wang Cai.]

[Is Sister Meng going to stir-fry carrots as a safety measure? In case the other dishes are inedible, she would still have another dish to eat.]

[The Eldest Young Master is having a breakthrough. Hahaha, I can't wait anymore. Let's eat. I want to see the Eldest Young Master's cooking.]

After a while, their dishes were finally served. The stir-fried mutton dish was placed firmly in the center, and the plate of fried eggs was placed in an inconspicuous corner. No one cared about it.

Lu Jinsen scooped a bowl of rice. After sitting down, he eagerly picked up a piece of mutton and stuffed it into his mouth.
