Love Apartment: The Most Reliable Person

Looking at the two people who were laughing non-stop, Hu Yifei was a little speechless: "Hey, I say you two have almost finished! Didn't I just say I would personally cook a Japanese meal for Lin Feng? What's so funny? Stop laughing."

The two of them tried to stop laughing. Zeng Xiaoxian clutched his stomach and said, "Did that Master Shen do something so outrageous that it would be worthy of your punishment?"

Hu Yifei put her hands on her hips and glared: "Bitch Zeng, if I don't punish you for a day, you will feel uncomfortable all over."

Zeng Xiaoxian was a little scared, but still said: "I'm telling the truth! Except for the fried rice, everything else you make is a waste of ingredients. Even so, you still want to make Japanese food?"

"Zeng Xiaoxian!" Hu Yifei shouted angrily: "It seems that I have to teach you a lesson." As he said that, he was ready to take action.

Lin Ze pulled her back. Seeing this, Zeng Xiaoxian quickly waved his short legs and ran away in an instant.

Seeing Yifei about to explode, Lin Ze quickly said, "I have everything I need. If you need anything, just come with me."

Yifei smiled and punched him: "You are still reliable. Come on, go get it." After saying that, she pushed Lin Ze back to 3602 to pick out things for the date.

In the afternoon, the excited Lu Zhanbo took Lin Ze and Zeng Xiaoxian to play billiards together.

He aimed, shot, and it went into the hole. Zhanbo excitedly waved his hands: "Yes, Mr. Zeng, I won again. I've already beaten you seven games in a row. Hurry up and let Brother Ze take over."

Lin Ze took Zeng Xiaoxian's golf club and motioned for Zhanbo to tee off. "You look so happy! Did you pass that interview?"

After Zhanbo finished his round, he replied, "Yes, I passed the interview. I'm the last one to go to Changbai Mountain for the inspection. I'll be leaving soon."

Zeng Xiaoxian smiled and said, "Your luck has turned! Zhanbo, congratulations."

Zhan Bo said seriously: "Who said I rely on luck? I rely on my strength."

"You've already beaten me seven games in a row and passed the interview, and you still say it wasn't just luck."

Lin Ze knocked a yellow ball into the pocket and said with a smile: "Teacher Zeng, don't be so narrow-minded. Luck is also a part of strength! Look, I'm about to win." As he said that, he knocked another blue ball into the pocket.

Zhan Bo looked at the few balls left by Lin Ze and said in surprise: "Brother Ze, you are too strong."

Lin Ze smiled slightly: "Good luck, good luck."

The next day, in the kitchen of Room 3601, Hu Yifei was helping Guan Gu. Seeing Guan Gu almost done with his work, Yifei asked excitedly, "Master Guan Gu, how is everything going?"

Guan Gu replied: "Almost done. Just simmer the soup over low heat for five minutes, add the miso seasoning, then check the temperature of the grilled silver cod. Remember to slice the lemon, and finally mix the sauce with the salad. Don't use too much seafood sauce..."

Hu Yifei became increasingly confused as she listened, and quickly interrupted, "You could just kill me with your sword, but you should just help me take care of everything. Be a good person to the end, and see the Buddha off to the west."

Lin Ze pushed the door open and walked in. He looked at the two of them and said with a smile: "Hey, Yifei, Guan Gu, are you busy?"

But the two of them were too busy to bother with him now, so Guan Gu asked in confusion, "You want me to send him to the West to obtain the scriptures?"

"It's not a journey to the West."

"You want to send him to heaven?" Guan Gu still didn't understand.

Lin Ze unfolded a newspaper and said, "Guan Gu, Yifei means that you should just help her get it done."

Hu Yifei nodded: "Yes, that's right."

Guan Gu nodded: "I see! Really, Yifei, didn't you tell me earlier? Leave this to me, you go over there and rest."

Hu Yifei was a little worried: "As the saying goes, details determine success or failure. If you take care of every detail for me, will my date be perfect?"

Guan Gu said seriously: "I am the son of the cooking master Guan Gu Kenjiro. The food I cook will definitely leave him speechless."

"Don't take it lightly. Shen Linfeng studied abroad in Japan. He has unique insights into Japanese cuisine, and he is a serious person, so we can't slack off." Hu Yifei said seriously.

Lin Ze pointed at Guan Gu and said, "What a coincidence, isn't it? Guan Gu is quite serious. If the two of them run into each other and a disagreement occurs, your date will be ruined, Yifei."

Yifei clasped her hands together and said, "I'm a little nervous. I hope he doesn't give too many suggestions."

Guan Gu sighed: "Yifei, I am Japanese. Even if he studied in Japan for a long time, he will not understand the essence of Japanese cuisine better than me!"

"Knock, knock, knock." There was a knock on the door, and Lin Ze guessed: "Yifei, maybe your boyfriend is here?"

"It's very likely." Hu Yifei nodded, and then said in a panic: "Hurry, hurry, the two of you hide quickly." As he said that, he pushed the two of them into the study, one in each hand, and then opened the door.

"Linfeng, you're here. Please come in. Dinner is ready. I made it myself. I guarantee you will like it." As he said that, he welcomed Shen Linfeng in.

In the study, the two people who were pushed in were a little confused as to how they got in.

After a long while, Guan Gu suddenly said, "I understand. Yifei is just killing the donkey after it has done its work."

Lin Ze glanced at him and said, "Not bad, Guan Gu. Your Chinese has improved a lot!"

"But how did Yifei push you in here?"

Lin Ze shrugged: "Maybe I came at the wrong time. They want to enjoy their own world now, so why am I here? I hope they can finish their meal quickly, otherwise we will have to stay here forever."

Guan Gu was lying at the door, listening to the conversation between the two people outside, with a satisfied smile on his face: "Yifei's boyfriend really knows what he's talking about. It's worth the time and effort I put into making this meal."

Lin Ze also came over. He also wanted to hear what Shen Linfeng thought of Guan Gu's cooking.

At the table, Shen Linfeng took a sip of the soup and praised it: "The eel and chicken bone soup has a strong flavor and just the right aroma. My dear, your accomplishments in Japanese cuisine are truly unexpected!"

Then, Shen Linfeng took another bite of the dish and praised: "Perfect, this must not be ordinary Thousand Island sauce, it must be a secret recipe, right?"

Lin Ze looked at the excited Guan Gu and couldn't help but ask, "Although it's true that being praised is something to be happy about, you don't have to be so happy, right?"

Guan Gu said excitedly: "Lin Ze, you don't understand, that Mr. Shen is indeed a man who knows what he is doing."

Outside, Shen Linfeng looked at the tofu and asked, "Dear, did you make this tofu in a stew pot or a double boiler?"

Yifei quickly came up with an idea: "I use both the slow cooker and the double boiler."

Shen Linfeng nodded: "No wonder, but from my point of view, dear, what you are doing is a bit wasteful!"

As soon as these words came out, Guan Gu's face changed: "What?"

Shen Linfeng continued, "Actually, a pot isn't necessary, and a double-layer pot will absorb the tofu's flavor and most of its healthy nutrients. But it's okay. It's a common mistake many beginners make."

"A beginner?" Guan Gu's expression changed completely. Just as he was about to rush out and argue with the other party, Lin Ze grabbed him and said, "Guan Gu, relax a little. Don't get excited. He's just an amateur. Don't argue with him. Yifei is on a date now. If you rush out, everything will be over."

Guan Gu was amazed. "Beginner, he actually called me a beginner. This is an insult to me. Lin Zejun, you're right, he's an amateur. I want to see what other outrageous words he can come up with."

Shen Linfeng took a bite of the fish and commented, "Well, Yifei, your cod dish is quite good. It's a pity that you didn't put a little less sugar, otherwise it would be first-rate."

Guan Gu was now completely anxious. Before Lin Ze could react, he had already opened the door and rushed out.

Coming to Shen Linfeng's side, Guan Gu asked with a gloomy face: "What did you just say? You said the silver cod had less sugar in it."

Shen Linfeng looked at Yifei: "Who is this?"

Hu Yifei explained: "He is Guan Gu, the chef I hired to cook. Lin Feng, I actually want to confess something to you. The dishes we ate today were all made by this Mr. Guan Gu."

Shen Linfeng smiled slightly: "It's okay, dear, as long as you have this intention."

When he got no response, Guan Gu continued, "Did you just say that the silver cod had less sugar in it?"

"Yes, that's right." Shen Linfeng replied.

"Didn't you put in a little less sugar?" Guan Gu kept repeating.

Shen Linfeng looked at Hu Yifei and asked in a low voice: "Is he a repeater?"

Hu Yifei laughed dryly, not knowing what to say.

Guan Gu faced the smile and said something particularly sharp: "Maybe someone's taste buds are broken."

Shen Linfeng sneered: "Humph, even if my taste buds are broken, I can at least distinguish what is perfect and what is imperfect."

Guan Gu also sneered: "The only flaw? Humph, it seems that it's not your taste buds that are the problem. You should get a new head."

Shen Linfeng: "Are you questioning my sense of taste?"

Guan Gu: "How could I question you? I think you're just a herbivore and don't know how to appreciate fish."

Hu Yifei walked back and forth between the two of them, but found that she couldn't get a word in at all, and became extremely anxious.

Shen Linfeng: "Humph, even if I were a herbivore, I would still add one-third of a spoonful of sugar to the cod."

Guan Gu pointed at Shen Linfeng and said, "Ha! But you'd better not say that in Neon, otherwise you'll probably get spanked in public, regardless of whether you're an adult or not."

Shen Linfeng replied, "I don't think so. The last time I went to Neon for research, I specifically consulted the culinary master, Mr. Kenjiro Sekiya, and he repeatedly emphasized the importance of adding sugar."

Hu Yifei shouted, "Stop arguing."

Guan Gu's voice became much lower: "Have you met Guan Gu Kenjiro?"

Shen Linfeng said the same: "That's right, Neon's top chef, the third generation successor of Guan Gu cuisine."

Lin Ze also rushed out at this time, grabbed Guan Gu by the throat, and then explained to Shen Linfeng: "This is Guan Gu Shenqi, the son of Guan Gu Kenjiro. He was once spanked in public by his father because of the issue of adding sugar to silver cod. The two have not been in touch for a long time, so he didn't know that silver cod can be added with sugar. Could you please explain it to him?"

Shen Linfeng looked at Guan Gu and said, "That's right. Mr. Kenjiro told me personally that sugar should be added to teriyaki silver cod, and he said it was his son who gave him the inspiration. Although adding sugar destroys the ancestral recipe, the sugar can overcome the bitterness of the fish. This is a bold innovation. He modified the recipe eight years ago."

Lin Ze also let go of Guan Gu at this time. Guan Gu said in disbelief: "Oh my God, my father actually changed the recipe."

Shen Linfeng continued: "Mr. Kenjiro gets very emotional every time he mentions you. Since you are his son, why don't you put sugar in it?"

Guan Gu's eyes turned red: "I thought Dad was right."

"On the contrary, he thinks you are right. He really wants to say sorry to his son, but his son has left the culinary world. For this reason, he specially created a new dish called Magic Scallion Pancake to apologize to his son." Shen Linfeng broke another piece of news.

"Scallion pancake?" Lin Ze nudged Hu Yifei. "Hey, Yifei, isn't scallion pancake a Chinese snack? When did it become a Japanese delicacy?"

But Yifei didn't answer, she was a little messy now.

Guan Gu couldn't believe it: "Really? He wrote my name in the recipe? Can you cook that dish?"

Shen Linfeng nodded: "I know a little bit, but unfortunately I don't have the raw materials right now."

Hu Yifei tried to bring the topic back: "Guan Gu, let's go check out your new comics."

Unfortunately, it failed.

Guan Gu said excitedly: "There is everything in the supermarket downstairs. I will go shopping with you and you can help me make it, okay?"

Shen Linfeng nodded, and then the two of them left talking and laughing.

Hu Yifei was a little upset: "Hey, you guys, why are you like this?"

Lin Ze sighed: "What a tragedy! The biggest stumbling block on your dating journey isn't other women, but Guan Gu. How can you reason with this?"

Hu Yifei pulled Lin Ze over and said, "Drink with me."

Lin Ze nodded: "Then I will sacrifice my life to accompany you."
