Mr. Gu's little darling is incredibly cool!

"Hey, aren't you cold?"

Huang Weiqi turned to Lu Qingyun and asked.

Just as Lu Qingyun was about to speak, Gu Jinming covered his mouth and coughed a few times, immediately attracting her attention.

Acting, acting. They're out in public now, and as a proper wife, she has to act a little worried.

Lu Qingyun frowned slightly, gently patted Gu Jinming's back, and once his breathing had calmed down a bit, she poured him a glass of warm water and placed it beside him.

"Are you feeling better?"

Gu Jinming took a few sips of warm water and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "I want soup too."

what?

Lu Qingyun blinked, and it took her a few seconds to react. She picked up the soup spoon next to her, and when the soup was in front of her, she ladled a bowl of soup for Gu Jinming.

"Here."

Having achieved his goal, Gu Jinming finally stopped exuding coldness.

"Mrs. Gu, how does it taste?"

Old Huang then asked a question.

Lu Qingyun raised her eyes and casually glanced at Old Huang. Seeing his serious expression, as if he was really waiting for her advice, she pursed her lips. "It tastes very good, but you can add some yellow leaves. You don't need to add too much, just three grams. It will taste even better than it is now."

As soon as she finished speaking, the room fell silent.

This is Master Huang! All the medicinal cuisine restaurants in the capital are owned by Master Huang. Not only that, it is said that his ancestors cooked imperial meals for the emperor.

However, this naive girl from the countryside actually dared to give advice to Old Huang?

Has she gone too far in trying to show off?

Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?

This was the thought in the minds of everyone present except Gu Jinming and Old Huang.

The group observed Old Huang's expression and noticed that his face looked rather strange.

Is she about to get angry?

It's normal to be angry, after all, anyone would be angry if a veteran who has been engaged in medicinal cuisine for decades was being lectured by a girl who knows nothing.

However, Old Huang was not angry. A look of surprise appeared on his face, and he slapped the table, "Yes, how come I didn't think of that? I'll go try it now. Miss Lu, please wait for me. I have another dish. Could you please try it for me?"

He has changed his address from Mrs. Gu to Miss Lu, and from "you" to "you (formal)," which shows the change in his attitude.

After finishing speaking, Old Huang pulled out his chair, stood up, and ran quickly towards the kitchen. He was so fast that no one would guess he was an elderly man over sixty.

"Grandpa, slow down!"

Even Huang Weiqi, who was standing next to Lu Qingyun, looked worried.

"Little money-grubber, is this what you call 'knowing a little'?"

Gu Jinming slowly turned his gaze back to her.

"what."

Lu Qingyun exclaimed, "You really do know a little bit."

Gu Jinming: I really believed your lies.

After hearing what Elder Huang said, everyone stared at Lu Qingyun in astonishment.

Few people can receive praise from Elder Huang, and Lu Qingyun is one of the very few.

This inevitably aroused their curiosity.

But when they stared unabashedly at Lu Qingyun, Gu Jinming glanced at them with a slightly cold look.

Everyone was shocked and quickly looked away.

A dozen minutes later, Old Master Huang had a servant bring the improved and newly prepared medicinal cuisine to Lu Qingyun.

"Miss Lu, could you please try this for me?"

There were three dishes served.

One dish was a freshly prepared soup, and the other two were a shrimp dessert and a dragon beard candy.

"You can add some purple star grass to the shrimp so that it won't take away its own flavor. You don't need to add silver leaves to the dragon beard candy, because the flavor of the nuts inside will be lost if you add it."

As soon as Lu Qingyun finished speaking, the man next to Old Huang frowned.

"Miss Lu, aren't you going too far? The highlight of this dragon beard candy is clearly the addition of silver leaves."

Tao Cheng was Huang Lao's disciple, and he made this dragon beard candy.

He had been learning from Master Huang for so long, and many people had come all the way from other places specifically to see his dishes. However, Lu Qingyun actually rejected one of his more prized dishes.

Tao Cheng couldn't help but speak up in defense, and his expression inevitably turned somewhat cold.

As soon as he finished shouting those words, he felt a cold gaze fixed on him.

Tao Cheng shuddered and glanced around discreetly, and sure enough, he saw Gu Jinming's ambiguous smile.

What does Master Jin mean by this?

Could it be that he really has feelings for this girl?

But that's unlikely, since the girl really doesn't have any background, and besides, Master Jin doesn't seem like the kind of person who would be troubled by romantic feelings.

Tao Cheng withdrew his suspicions and continued to look at Lu Qingjun, but this time his gaze was not as gloomy as before.

"Is my statement too harsh? You can try it. I suggest you change the medicinal material. Forget-me-not is better than silver leaf."

Lu Qingyun spoke in a calm and unhurried tone.

Tao Cheng felt a little uncomfortable under her dark eyes.

After listening, Old Huang took a few steps forward, picked up his chopsticks, took a bite of the dragon beard candy, and then slowly gave his evaluation.

"Tao Cheng, Miss Lu is right. You can listen to her and give it a try."

Even Elder Huang, even Elder Huang spoke up for this woman!

Although Tao Cheng thought this way, he didn't dare to show any displeasure on the surface.

He clenched his fists so tightly that anyone looking down would definitely see the bulging veins on his hands.

"I see."

Old Huang nodded, then continued discussing the medicinal cuisine with Lu Qingyun.

I had hoped to take advantage of this banquet to get closer to Old Master Huang, but who would have thought that Lu Qingyun would suddenly appear as an unexpected obstacle?

Even when the banquet ended and Old Master Huang saw Lu Qingyun and the others off, he was still a little reluctant to part with them.

"Miss Lu, please take this."

Just as Lu Qingyun was about to get into the car, Old Huang handed her a card. "This is a membership card for the medicinal cuisine restaurant. If you have free time in the future, Miss Lu, you can come to my restaurant often. My contact information is on it, and we can exchange experiences on medicinal cuisine."

Lu Qingyun didn't answer; instead, she turned her head and looked at Gu Jinming.

"It's alright, you can keep it."

Gu Jinming nodded.

Lu Qingyun took the card, said thank you again, and got into the car. Just as she was about to close the car door, Huang Weiqi ran over from a distance.

Gu Jinming's eyelids twitched. Before Lu Qingyun could react, he slammed the windows and doors shut.

"Tang Meng, drive."

Tang Meng sensed the change in Gu Jinming's emotions, and he nodded in agreement, not daring to say anything else.

In a flash, the car disappeared.

Huang Weiqi: ? ? ?

"Grandpa, is something urgent happening to them?"

Old Huang, exasperated, smacked him on the back of the head. "All you do is play video games all day. You really should learn how to make medicinal cuisine from Miss Lu..."

He suddenly stopped halfway through his sentence.

Yes, it would be good to let his grandson learn something from Miss Lu.

When Old Huang thought of this, his eyes shone so brightly that they could make the night seem like daytime.

"Grandpa, why are you looking at me like that?"

Huang Weiqi had a bad feeling.
