Wang Jiayi said: "I hope they find Lingzi as soon as possible. If this continues, I will go crazy."

Jiajun's mother asked: "Hey, Jiayi, you haven't eaten yet, right?"

Wang Jiayi said: "The kitchen was originally my territory, but now it has been taken over by her. It is terrible to see that a good kitchen was ruined by her."

Jiajun's mother enlightened and said: "She is an old lady in the countryside. She probably has poor hygiene habits. After she is done, you can clean up properly. As a daughter-in-law, don't worry too much about the old man."

Wang Jiayi continued to complain: "It's not just a matter of mess. Putting the electric kettle on the gas stove to boil water almost caused a fire. How terrifying!"

Jiajun's mother and Fan Yunxuan opened their mouths in unison and exclaimed "Ah" in wonder.

Jiajun's mother said, "You have to teach her well. Fire is not a trivial matter."

Wang Jiayi said: "Tomorrow, they will go out to find Lingzi. I hope they can find Lingzi tomorrow and give me peace as soon as possible."

Jiajun's mother said: "Jiayi, you are pretty good at cooking, right?"

Wang Jiayi said proudly: "My father is a chef and makes good food. I guess it's hereditary. I love cooking very much."

Jiajun's mother said "Oh" and turned to look at Fan Yunxuan. Fan Yunxuan turned her face away and thought: Wang Jiayi, you want to kill me.

Jiajun's mother asked again: "Where is your hometown..."

"Sichuan."

"Sichuan? The land of abundance, a wonderful place. Then you must be good at cooking Sichuan food? My aunt likes Sichuan food the most, but she just doesn't know how to cook it."

"You come to my house another day and I will cook you some Sichuan dishes."

"There is no need to change the day, just today. Don't be in a hurry to go back. We have all the ingredients at home. Today, you can teach Auntie how to cook some Sichuan dishes at my house, okay?"

Wang Jiayi looked at Fan Yunxuan, who quietly waved to her.

Wang Jiayi turned to Jiajun's mother and said, "Auntie, do you like Sichuan food so much?"

Jiajun's mother said: "Sichuan food is delicious! If Auntie learns it, she won't have to go to any Sichuan restaurant to satisfy her cravings."

Fan Yunxuan said: "Mom, this is the first time Jiayi comes here. How can you let someone cook?"

Jiajun's mother immediately responded: "If she doesn't do it, you do it."

"I..." Fan Yunxuan began to falter.

Wang Jiayi said: "Auntie, if you don't mind, I will show my shame today."

Jiajun's mother smiled and said: "This child is quite humble. This is not called showing off one's ugliness, but showing off one's skills. Junxuan, you should also keep an eye on her."

Fan Yunxuan glared at Wang Jiayi.

Jiajun's mother went to the refrigerator to get something out.

Wang Jiayi looked proud and whispered to Fan Yunxuan: "I have always felt that I am inferior to you, but now I realize that I still have strengths. You have to learn from me."

Fan Yunxuan whispered: "I am the chief designer of the company. Do you want me to design some pairs of shoes for you?"

Wang Jiayi whispered: "Okay, you put on a small shoe for me, and I will come to your house and cook you a plate of vegetables so that you can't eat and walk around." After that, she walked towards the kitchen with a smile.

Fan Yunxuan said to herself: "Well, Wang Jiayi, you are starting to compete with me again."

Huang family.

He Qi's mother and He Qi's father sat at the table, looking in the direction of the door.

Finally, the sound of a key opening was heard outside the door, and Ren Li and Huang Heqi opened the door and entered the house.

He Qi's mother and He Qi's father looked at them intently.

Ren Li smiled and said, "I know I made dinner today and I didn't forget it. No, I brought He Qi back and asked him to help me."

Huang Heqi echoed: "Yes, a great chef cannot live without an assistant."

Ren Li asked: "Mom, Dad, what do you want to eat?"

He Qi’s mother said: “We will eat whatever you do.”

Ren Li said: "If you don't tell me what to eat, how will I know what to do?"

He Qi's mother said: "He Qi, what do you like to eat?"

Huang Heqi said: "I like to eat fried pork with musu pork and shredded potatoes."

He Qi's mother said: "Okay, let's make these two dishes first."

Ren Li complained to Huang Heqi: "You can't make it simpler."

Huang Heqi said: "These two are simple enough."

He Qi's mother teased: "It's easy to eat fermented bean curd. Stinky tofu is so easy, why do you need to make it?"

Guo family.

Wang Jiayi skillfully stir-fried the vegetables in the pot. Jiajun's mother watched carefully. Fan Yunxuan stood behind her with an unhappy look on her face. She turned and walked out of the kitchen.

Wang Jiayi saw her leaving and shouted: "Junxuan, don't leave!"

Jiajun's mother turned around and said, "Junxuan, you have to be humble and learn from your old classmates."

Fan Yunxuan came back and said: "One person is cooking and two people are watching. Do you think you are an actor? You can't perform without an audience?"

Wang Jiayi said: "Cooking is an art, and art needs to be appreciated."

Fan Yunxuan said: "Oh, just show off!"

Jiajun's mother retorted: "How can this be showing off? This is a necessary skill for a daughter-in-law."

Wang Jiayi echoed: "Hey, a must-have skill."

Fan Yunxuan walked to Wang Jiayi and whispered: "Are you really turning your back on the guest?"

Wang Jiayi said: "The opportunity is rare, I have to seize it."

Fan Yunxuan said: "Okay, I'll count you as the winner."

Jiajun's mother asked: "Hey, what chance? What victory? What are you talking about?"

Fan Yunxuan said: "This is the secret between the two of us."

Wang Jiayi said: "Yes, it's a secret between the two of us."

Little did Jiajun's mother know that these two inseparable besties have been going hand in hand with each other in friendship and competition since their college days. Outsiders can't understand them, but they themselves have become accustomed to and even like this way of getting along.

Huang family.

Ren Li was cutting shredded potatoes in the kitchen, which was not only slow but also uneven in thickness.

He Qi's mother, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room, stood up and said, "I have to go take a look."

He Qi's mother came to the kitchen and saw the shredded potatoes that Ren Li was cutting, and teased: "Oh, this is called potato shreds? It's thicker than a finger. Is it going to be fried or stewed?"

Ren Li said: "The stew is also delicious."

He Qi’s mother asked: “Huh, do you know how to make Mushu Rou?”

Ren Li said: "He Qi told me, it's meat slices, eggs, fungus and cucumber slices fried together."

“Do you know what to fry first and what to fry last?”

"I think we should fry the eggs first. Everything else is easy to handle. I'm afraid that the meat slices won't be cut well, like potatoes, and they won't be cut evenly."

"Then don't add meat. Make fried fungus with eggs."

"Are you in a hurry to eat?"

"Look what time it is now, my stomach is growling with hunger."

"It takes time to soak the fungus, so why don't we leave the fungus in? I'm the best at scrambled eggs."

"Okay then, just scramble an egg."

"Scrambled eggs, okay." Ren Li told Huang Heqi next to him, "Light the fire."

Huang Heqi quickly lit the fire and put the frying spoon on the fire.

Ren Li ordered again: "Pour in the oil."

Huang Heqi obediently poured the oil into the frying spoon.

Ren Li took an egg, broke the eggshell on the side of the frying spoon, put the egg directly into the frying spoon, and used a shovel to scrape the egg in the frying spoon. The egg was cooked quickly. Ren Li took a container with white items in it.

box, and poured the white substance into the eggs. The fire below was very strong, and the eggs were mushy. Ren Li quickly turned off the fire, looked back at He Qi's mother, took the plate, and put the eggs inside into the plate with a smile.

He Qi's mother teased: "What a great skill, scrambled eggs with sugar."

Ren Li was surprised: "Ah, scrambled eggs with sugar?"

He Qi's mother said: "What you just put in was sugar."

Ren Li looked regretful: "Oh, what should I do? This is my best, but I put the wrong ingredients."

Huang Heqi said: "You still have something good at it!"

Ren Li asked: "What else are you good at?"

Huang Heqi said: "What you Northeasterners like to do the most..."
