Lang Yu turned around and placed the tray on the table. When he looked up, he saw Yu Han standing at the kitchen door. He said in surprise, “Hanhan, are you done with your work?”
Yu Han leaned against the door and took a whiff of the strong fragrance. She felt a little hungry and stared at the pork jerky on the tray. She replied casually, “Yes, it’s done. Is your side almost done?”
Lang Yu had been by Yu Han’s side for a period of time. When he saw Yu Han’s expression, he knew that she was hungry too. Hence, he nimbly picked up the scissors placed at the side and divided the pork jerky into small pieces that were just right for the mouth. Then, he took a small bowl and filled it with five to six small pieces before handing them to Yu Han.
“It’s too late to eat too much now, so you just have to taste it a little.”
When Lin Zi saw Lang Yu’s considerate look, his heart instantly felt as if he had eaten a lemon. He felt a little jealous. Why couldn’t he meet such a considerate assistant who knew how to cook? Why did he have to be in Yu Han’s hands?
How good would it be if he could snatch him over?
However, Lin Zi was only thinking about it. Putting aside whether Ji Jun would agree to snatch Lang Yu away from Yu Han, based on how loyal Lang Yu was to Yu Han, he might not be able to snatch him over even if he gave him twice the salary.
Unable to get an assistant who was considerate and knew how to cook, Lin Zi could only turn his grief and indignation into a hearty appetite. He picked up the pork jerky that had been cut into small pieces on the tray and stuffed them into his mouth. The moment the charred and slightly hot pork jerky entered his mouth, a domineering sweet fragrance immediately filled his mouth.
Lin Zi’s eyes widened. The taste of this freshly roasted pork jerky and its taste after it cooled could be said to be two different flavors.
Although the jerky that had just been roasted was not as chewy after it cooled, the fragrance was stronger. Even a foodie like Lin Zi could not tell if it was better to eat when it was freshly roasted or if it was better to eat when it was cold.
He hesitated for a moment before giving up. Forget it, it would taste good no matter what.
Then, he casually stuffed a piece of jerky into his mouth. As he ate, he did not forget to give Lang Yu a thumbs up. His assistant, Chen Xiang, could not even be bothered to speak.
On the other hand, Yu Han’s reaction was similar to theirs. Although it was not the first time she had eaten freshly roasted jerky, she still enjoyed it very much. Her mouth puffed up like a little hamster, and her face was almost buried in the small bowl.
Only Lang Yu was worried. “I just roasted one round. There’s still so much pork left. It’ll take a lot of time to finish roasting it.”
Seeing that Yu Han had already decided on the scene, Lin Zi thought that his mission had been completed. He wanted to say, Let us roast the remaining pork jerky ourselves.
However, he did not trust his culinary skills. Afraid that he would waste the pork, he could only suggest, “Why don’t you bring the oven of your house over too? Let’s work harder and stay up all night to roast all this pork jerky.”
As Lin Zi spoke, he lamented in his heart. Look at how much he had sacrificed for Ji Jun’s love plan. As he lamented, he did not forget to stuff another piece of pork jerky into his mouth.
After hearing his suggestion, Lang Yu turned to Yu Han and asked for her opinion.
Yu Han thought for a moment. Lang Yu was a man, and he was with Ji Jun, so there shouldn’t be any danger. Hence, she nodded and said, “Since it’s half done, let’s finish it.”
Hence, Yu Han finished the five to six pieces of pork jerky and went back with the script reluctantly. After all, she could not help much if she stayed here. She should go back and catch up on her sleep and conserve her energy.
Ji Jun watched Yu Han leave the courtyard. He wanted to return to his room, but when he smelled the fragrance, he suddenly turned towards the small kitchen.
Coincidentally, Lang Yu followed Yu Han back to get the oven, so he was not here now. When Lin Zi saw him enter, he looked smug. “How was it? I did well tonight, right? I called Lang Yu, the third wheel, away.”
When his assistant, Chen Xiang, heard Lin Zi’s words, he silently grabbed two pieces of pork jerky and retreated to the corner. It was obvious that he did not want to be involved in their dispute.
When Ji Jun heard him say that and saw his smug face, he was not very willing to accept his kindness. Hence, he exposed him directly. “You were the one who was greedy and instructed Lang Yu to make pork jerky for you. Don’t take all the credit.”
Lin Zi chuckled and did not deny Ji Jun’s words. He even proudly said, “I’m killing two birds with one stone.” As he spoke, he took another piece of pork jerky and stuffed it into his mouth to chew with relish..
