143 GIFTED IN ALL ASPECTS (2/2)

”You are not lying to me?” She looked at him suspiciously.

Zhong Feng coughed a little.

”I would have lied if it was bad. But I mean it. It is remarkable.” He was not stingy with his compliments.

Hu Lei felt that there was a paradox somewhere in his words. However, he was eating and seemed to be enjoying the meal. So, she decided to believe him and sat down to eat beside him. She tasted her cooking with a little fear. Though she had tried her own cooking before, it was different when she was cooking for him.

”This is freaking delicious.” She complimented herself generously with a look of pleasure.

She felt that she could be a chef if her career as an author failed.

”I already told you so.” Zhong Feng looked at her flatly.

”Who would believe you easily?” She grumbled in a low voice.

”How did you learn to cook so suddenly?” He asked in genuine curiosity.

”Kufufufufufu… Would you really like to know?” She asked with a look of superiority, hiding her evil laugh behind her small hand.

Zhong Feng's lips twitched a little at her ego. She was behaving like someone with the middle school disease. Still, he nodded.

”This, my sweet ignorant FengFeng, is the power of science.” She lifted her hands as if there was an explosion behind her.

She put her chopsticks down and leaned towards him.

”Each ingredient is essentially a compound with different physical and chemical properties. The key to cooking is finding the perfect temperature, treatment processes and complementary compounds to maximise the taste and nutritional value.” She explained with blazing eyes. ”It is essentially not different from manufacturing medicine or poison.”

Zhong Feng had mixed feelings now that poison was mentioned. However, he could not deny that there was something amazing about the food. He nodded and continued eating. Hu Lei also turned back to her meal and took a couple more bites of food.

”You know, I could do so much more if I had a cooking lab.” She mused. ”I read that home labs are pretty trendy in gastronomy.”

She pushed her half-eaten bowl of rice away while thinking about the possibilities. She became distracted by her own thoughts.

”A lab is no problem. You should eat more.” Zhong Feng said placing her bowl in front of her again.

She took a few grains of rice and then looked at him with large watery eyes.

”Ah Feng, I am already full.” She could not eat more.

Zhong Feng was speechless and placed his hand over his forehead in a rare face-palm. He could not believe the girl. Even with all her excitement about food, she still ate like a small cat, a small cat on a strict diet.
