What? Fair?

The light in Su Panpan's eyes disappeared in an instant.

She didn't say anything, but turned back to cooking, and her hands moved with more force.

Han Jingrui looked at her reaction and suddenly realized that what he said had made her unhappy.

A rare look of anxiety appeared on that usually cold face.

He hurriedly chased after Su Panpan, moving slightly closer to her. Although his voice was still low, it was a little more gentle: "What I mean is... this is the most delicious fish I have ever eaten." He didn't know how to praise people, but this was the best word he could think of.

Su Panpan's ears moved, and a sweet feeling surged in her heart, but she pretended not to hear it. She still turned her back to Han Jingrui, her hands busy.

However, the slightly upturned corners of her mouth betrayed her.

Han Jingrui looked at Su Panpan who still had her back to him, and felt a little flustered.

After thinking for a moment, he slowly spoke again: "Miss Su, I was inappropriate in my words just now, don't be... angry." Han Jingrui's voice became smaller and smaller, like a child who had made a mistake.

Su Panpan felt even sweeter when she heard his slightly flustered words, but she still didn't want to let him go so easily.

She tilted her head slightly and said in a cold voice: "Since Mr. Han thinks it is not delicious, why bother to praise it." There seemed to be a hint of anger in her words.

Han Jingrui hurriedly explained, "I'm not being forced. I really mean it. The taste of this fish is truly the most delicious I've ever tasted."

Su Panpan laughed secretly in her heart, but still resisted the urge to turn around.

She hummed softly and continued cooking, but the movements of her hands had unconsciously slowed down a lot.

Su Panpan first cut the pork belly into cubes and put it into the pot to blanch it to remove the fishy smell.

Then add a little oil to the pot, add rock sugar and stir-fry until the sugar turns brown, then add the pork belly into the pot and stir-fry until it is evenly colored.

Next, add soy sauce, cooking wine, star anise, cinnamon and other seasonings, stir-fry evenly and add appropriate amount of water.

After boiling over high heat, turn to low heat and simmer slowly.

While the stewing process was going on, Su Panpan peeled the potatoes and cut them into cubes.

When the braised pork is cooked to about 70% done, add the potato cubes into the pot and continue stewing.

As the stew progresses, the pork becomes bright red, fatty but not greasy, melts in your mouth, and has a perfect balance of sweetness and saltiness. The potatoes absorb the pork's broth and become soft and flavorful.

"Please move aside, Mr. Han. The kitchen is very fume-filled."

"No problem."

"Mr. Han, with his weight of gold, how can he endure the pain of this fumes?"

The prefect coughed lightly. "Miss Su, I wonder what's going on..." The old fox smelled something and came.

Han Jingrui turned slightly sideways, his expression returning to its usual coldness.

"Sir, it's just a small matter." Su Panpan responded.

Su Panpan here has almost finished cooking the dishes.

When the delicious dishes were presented to everyone, the prefect's eyes lit up instantly.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and greedily inhaled the fragrance in the air.

The prefect first looked at the spicy and delicious Mapo Tofu. The tender white tofu cubes were soaked in bright red chili oil and dotted with green chopped green onions and fragrant minced meat. The appearance alone was enough to whet one's appetite.

He couldn't help but stretch out his hand to fan the steam coming out of the dish, and then he praised it: "This dish is bright in color and fragrant. It is really a delicacy."

Then, his eyes fell on the golden twice-cooked pork.

The meat slices are fat and lean, stir-fried until they are sizzling with oil, and paired with the rich aroma of green garlic sprouts and bean paste.

The prefect's throat moved unconsciously. "This twice-cooked pork, just by looking at its color, I can tell it tastes extraordinary. Miss Su is a great cook."

Look at the refreshing vinegar-stirred potato shreds and garlic-stirred pea sprouts. The potato shreds are evenly thick, crisp and delicious. The light aroma of vinegar increases your appetite. The pea sprouts are crisp, green and tender, and they look sweet and delicious at first glance.

The prefect nodded with satisfaction, "These two dishes are also refreshing and delicious, and the combination is perfect."

At this time, the last dish of braised pork and potatoes also began to come out of the pot. The bright red braised pork paired with the soft and glutinous potatoes exuded a rich aroma, making people salivate.

The prefect's eyes were fixed on the dish, and he looked as if he couldn't wait to swallow it.

The prefect swallowed his saliva, rubbed his hands and said, "Oh my, Miss Su's cooking skills can even draw gods down from the sky. I am in for a treat today!" As he said that, he couldn't wait to pick up his chopsticks.

The magistrate was flattering him on the surface, but in his heart he was somewhat disgusted with the prefect. He was an official of high rank after all, so how could he be as greedy as that child?

Su Panpan was also wondering why the prefect was like a greedy cat and more impatient than a child. Who was the one who gave the passionate speech in the afternoon?

"You teach me rules, but you don't have any rules yourself." Han Jingrui muttered calmly.

The prefect rolled his eyes at him and said, "What rules? I just want to taste this delicacy right now, so I'll put the rules aside for now."

The magistrate and the village head were standing beside him, smiling awkwardly.

Corn and pork ribs soup, fried crispy pork, pan-fried salt and pepper fish fillets, minced meat mapo tofu, twice-cooked pork with garlic sprouts, vinegar potatoes, pea sprouts with garlic, braised pork with potatoes.

Put everything on the table and you’re done.

"Oh my, all the dishes are here, what are we waiting for? Let's eat!" The prefect could no longer hold back and said anxiously while rubbing his hands.

The magistrate and the village head smiled awkwardly again.

Han Jingrui looked at the prefect's anxious look and couldn't help feeling disgusted.

Su Panpan was amused by everyone's reaction and couldn't help laughing. She kept saying, "Dinner is ready, dinner is ready, everyone, please enjoy!"

The prefect was as if he had been granted amnesty. He immediately picked up his chopsticks, picked up a piece of twice-cooked pork and put it into his mouth.

At that moment, his eyes suddenly widened, his face showing surprise, and he exclaimed loudly: "Wow! This piece of meat is fatty but not greasy, spicy and mellow, it's really wonderful!"

Then, he picked up a piece of Mapo Tofu. The tofu melted in his mouth, and the spicy taste spread instantly on his tongue.

He exhaled and said excitedly, "This Mapo Tofu is spicy and spicy, with a rich flavor. It's truly a delicacy!"

Then, he saw the refreshing vinegar-stirred potato shreds and quickly took a chopstick. After tasting it, he nodded with satisfaction and said, "These potato shreds are crispy and delicious, and the vinegar flavor is just right. I didn't expect Su Panpan to be able to make such a delicious dish. I am really lucky today."

After a while, Su Panpan brought out another plate of shredded pork with fish flavor and went back to the kitchen to clean up.

The colorful dish has tender shredded meat, crisp side dishes such as wood ear mushrooms and carrots, and a rich fish aroma that makes you salivate.

The prefect picked up a piece of pork with chopsticks and put it into his mouth, praising it again: "This fish-flavored pork shreds has a mellow flavor, with just the right amount of sour, sweet and spicy. It's absolutely wonderful!"
