It’s not mealtime yet.
Sheng Tang can’t cook herself.
"I want to make some porridge for my senior," Sheng Tang said, "I’m not very good at cooking, I can only make some simple porridge."
She really didn’t know how to comfort Gu Shiting.
In his current situation, whichever path he chooses wouldn’t be exactly correct.
Therefore, Sheng Tang decided not to say anything more and to be as kind as possible to him.
She went to the kitchen and asked the chef for a small clay pot and various ingredients to cook porridge.
The chef quickly found them for her and said, "Miss Sheng, do you need any help?"
"No need, I can manage cooking porridge," Sheng Tang replied with a smile.
She washed the rice, put it in the small clay pot, and added water to cook it slowly.
Then, she started shelling the shrimp.
She first removed the shrimp heads and set them aside for later, then peeled the shrimp meat.
Sheng Tang also asked for a frying pan, used oil to fry the shrimp heads, extracted the shrimp oil, filtered out the shrimp heads, and poured the shrimp oil into the small clay pot.
She then added green peas, corn kernels, and ginger slices.
She simmered it slowly on low heat while writing her winter vacation homework on a small table, occasionally checking the heat.
Her English homework was almost finished, and the rice porridge was gradually becoming thick; Sheng Tang then added the peeled shrimp, and a bit of salt.
After cooking for another ten minutes, she turned off the heat.
When Gu Shiting woke up and didn’t see Sheng Tang beside him, he sat up abruptly, his forehead covered with sweat.
He hurriedly searched everywhere, his footsteps echoing in the stairs.
Then, he heard a sound coming from the living room: "Senior?"
Gu Shiting leaned on the railing and looked down, seeing Sheng Tang sitting in the living room on the first floor, chatting and having tea with his parents.
He quickly went downstairs.
Seeing her right in front of him, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, his tense nerves relaxed.
Sheng Tang smiled and said, "I had nothing to do this afternoon, so I made some porridge for you, you can have it during dinner."
Gu Shiting immediately said, "I am hungry right now!"
It was the first time Tangtang cooked porridge for him, he couldn’t wait to taste it.
He had already decided, even if Sheng Tang’s porridge tasted awful, he would praise it lavishly.
Mrs. Gu and Mr. Gu smiled.
Sheng Tang nodded and then asked Mrs. Gu, "Auntie, would you like to eat with us?"
Mrs. Gu shook her head, "We have booked a restaurant for tonight, Doctor Sun has worked hard to get here, we need to treat him to a meal."
Sheng Tang responded with an ’oh’.
Since Mrs. Gu and Mr. Gu were not dining at home tonight, she and Gu Shiting could start their meal now.
The servant brought out the rice porridge first.
Gu Shiting sat at the table, smelling the especially rich aroma, feeling pleasantly surprised.
Made by Sheng Tang, at least it had good color and aroma, it wasn’t some terrible dish.
Of course, even if it were a terrible dish, Gu Shiting would still praise it without changing his expression, and eat it all.
With this thought, he tasted a spoonful.
He hesitated for a moment.
The first bite gave him the feeling of extraordinary deliciousness!
This kind of freshness was a blend of shrimp, rice, green peas, and corn, harmonizing without conflict, it was the most natural kind of freshness.
"Delicious!" Gu Shiting closed his eyes slightly, truly enjoying it, "Tangtang is really amazing!" This text is hosted at NoveI★Fire.net
The servant also brought out some side dishes, various desserts, and a bowl of porridge for Sheng Tang.
Sheng Tang herself tasted a spoonful, the flavor was indeed pretty good.
In her entire life, she only knew how to make two dishes: fresh shrimp porridge, and scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
Her scrambled eggs with tomatoes were also very good, but it was too ordinary, no matter how tasty it was, it wasn’t very special.
"Tangtang, this is the best porridge I’ve ever had!" Gu Shiting said.
It wasn’t an exaggeration, he indeed had never tasted anything so delicious.
Unexpectedly, his Tangtang had hidden talents.
"What’s the best you’ve ever had?" a voice sounded at the door.
