In the evening, smoke rose from the Lu family's kitchen. Soon, the aroma of food filled the air, causing the mother and daughter Ma Dani next door to become jealous.

"I don't know what kind of luck the Lu family has. The guests who visited these two days all seem to have some respect." Jin Feng said sourly.

She was still thinking about the two handsome men in the carriage.

How did the Lu family know these two outstanding young men?

"Pah, aren't you afraid of eating too much and dying?"

Matanya was angry and jealous.

In the past two days, the Lu family had cooked something, but the aroma filled her nose every day. The aroma seemed to have legs of its own, coming into her house every day, making her lose her appetite for the food at home and almost unable to swallow it.

In the Lu family's living room, a square table was temporarily set up, and a variety of delicious dishes were served on the table.

Except for Lao Zhong who insisted on eating in the kitchen out of respect for the hierarchy, the others moved to the living room to eat.

In order to wait for Lu Ke'er to return, at Gao Yutang's insistence and Ji's polite invitation, the three of them stayed at Lu's house for lunch.

In order to entertain the two distinguished guests, Ji cut a piece of pork and fried two non-vegetarian dishes at noon, and also made a bowl of egg drop soup. This was already a very generous gesture in the Lu family. However, Gao Yutang and Yu Qianjing had eaten all kinds of delicacies, so the lunch could only barely fill them up.

Lu Ke'er cooked this evening's meal herself, with Ji's help. The quality of the dish immediately rose sharply.

Red boiled pork slices, juicy green jade soup, braised pig's trotters, dry pot cauliflower, spicy snails, braised large intestine...

A full table was set.

When they were having lunch at the Lu family's house at noon, Gao Yutang and Yu Qianjing already knew that Lu Ke'er's father was injured and paralyzed and had been bedridden. His meals were usually brought to his bedside by his family.

"What does Master like to eat?" Gao Yutang asked Lu Ke'er, drooling at the table full of food.

Lu Ke'er had just come out of the kitchen after cooking and came into the living room. She washed her hands and was drinking water from the cup. When she heard the words, she almost spit out a mouthful of tea.

"Master?"

"Yes." Gao Yutang said as a matter of course, "You are my master, so isn't your father my master's master?"

"I didn't agree to be your master." Lu Ke'er immediately clarified, "My father is not your master either, so don't call me that in the future."

"Master always says one thing and thinks another." Gao Yutang was still in high spirits. "What kind of dishes does Master like to eat? I'll serve them to him."

"Is there an old man like my father who is over 30 years old?" Lu Ke'er didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She didn't know how to deal with someone like Gao Yutang who was so stubborn.

"Mr. Gao, thank you very much. The dishes for your husband are prepared separately. I will deliver them to your husband later. You and Mr. Yu should enjoy your meal." Ji smiled embarrassedly.

"Alas, if Master hadn't been reluctant to see guests, Qian Jing and I would have gone to visit him."

"Thank you, gentlemen. I will convey your thoughts to my husband. Over the years, my husband has been bedridden and has no time to meet guests on weekdays. I hope you can forgive me." Ji had explained the whole story at noon. At this moment, she was still embarrassed to repeat it again, fearing that the two gentlemen would mind.

"Mom, let's eat." Lu Ke'er had been busy all day and was already starving.

"It's time to eat!" Lu Mingxi cheered.

He likes the food cooked by his sister the most.

It was so delicious.

Lu Ke'er suddenly thought of Xiao Pa, so she said to them, "You guys eat first, I'll go get Xiao Pa over here."

"Who is Xiao Pa?" Yu Qianjing asked curiously.

He now knew that the Lu family had only four people.

Was he mistaken? Was there a fifth person?

"Xiao Pa is so well behaved." When talking about Xiao Pa, Lu Mingxi was very happy, "He is my best friend."

"Why haven't I seen this person for a whole day?" Gao Yutang also became curious.

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Ke'er came in holding an old basket. The basket was covered with straw, and a small black animal was curled up on it. It had a pair of small round ears standing up on its head, and its glass-like eyes were looking at them curiously.

"Meow..." Master, who are they? Are they your friends?

"Come, let me introduce you. This is Xiaopa." Lu Ke'er placed this temporary nest in the corner of the living room.

Yu Qianjing and Gao Yutang looked stunned.

It turns out that Xiaopa is the Lu family's pet.

"Xiao Pa, I just met these two gentlemen." Lu Ke'er introduced the visiting guests to Xiao Pa.

He didn't say they were friends, nor did he say they were very familiar with each other.

Xiao Pa understood.

These two people don't need it to curry favor with them.

Immediately, it lost interest in the two people, licked its paws, and meowed twice.

Master, I'm hungry.

"Little greedy cat, I'll give you something delicious right away." Lu Ke'er threw two pieces of meat bones to it, and the little cat started to eat happily.

Gao Yutang and Yu Qianjing were amazed at the interaction between the man and the cat.

Yu Qianjing thought to himself, this cat and the little village girl have such a good understanding of each other, don’t they?

"So it's Xiaopa?" Gao Yutang was delighted. He squatted beside Xiaopa and looked at it. "Is it a wild cat? But... it doesn't look like one."

"It's just a wild cat." Lu Ke'er said, "This little guy's leg was injured. Fortunately, it was lucky to meet me. Otherwise, it would have been left to die in the wild and become a meal for other wild animals."

Yu Qianjing watched Xiao Pa tearing the meat bone with his sharp teeth. His front paws that were pressing on the meat bone were open, and his sharp nails were flashing a creepy cold light.

“It seems to like eating meat?”

"Well, cats are omnivores. They can eat both vegetarian and meat. What's so strange about that?" Lu Ke'er responded absentmindedly.

Yu Qianjing's peach blossom eyes flickered slightly.

This little cat has an aura of dominance that doesn't seem to be something a wild cat can possess.

Does this little country girl really not understand, or is she pretending to be confused?

"Two gentlemen, come and try Ke'er's cooking." Ji warmly greeted the rare visitors to her family.

The customs of the dynasty were relatively open, and it was not uncommon for men and women to travel together and eat at the same table. Ji thought that her daughter had just been broken off from her engagement, and although she usually acted as if she didn't care, she must be very sad in her heart. She was very happy that her daughter could make more friends and get out of her low mood.

Yu Qianjing knew that Lu Ke'er was an excellent cook, and after tasting it, it was as amazing as expected. But it was the first time for Gao Yutang to eat Lu Ke'er's dishes, and after eating it, he was greatly impressed.

"Master, you are amazing. How can you make such ordinary ingredients so delicious?" He praised while eating.

At first he was still concerned about his image as a guest at the home of the young doctor he admired, but later he ate so happily that he didn't care about much else and stuffed the food into his mouth in big mouthfuls, wishing he could swallow the plate as well.

Seeing that everyone was enjoying the meal, Lu Ke'er was also in a very happy mood.

No chef would not like to be praised by diners for their cooking skills. In her previous life, she would learn cooking from short videos whenever she had time on weekends and holidays, so that she could have a delicious meal and reward herself for her hard work.

Over time, her cooking skills became more and more sophisticated.

"This is delicious. Not only is it tasty, but it's also very chewy." Gao Yutang picked up a piece of braised large intestine and stuffed it into his mouth. While chewing, he asked vaguely, "What... is this?"

He ate a lot of this dish, one chopstick after another, and could hardly stop.

"Big brother, this is braised large intestine." Lu Mingxi answered happily.

This dish was too big for his little teeth to chew, so it was the only one on the table that he didn't eat much.
