"Do you remember, Su Che, how you always ordered fish in the cafeteria back in college? So, I specially made this Steamed Fish for you today," Jiang Ning said with a smile, his eyes filled with nostalgia for their university days.
"Haha, you still get me, Old Jiang! This fish is so delicious! I'll come freeload off you every day from now on!" Su Che joked, devouring the food with gusto, a satisfied smile spreading across his face.
"Come on, this isn't your money. This is Young Su's home. You can only eat this one meal, no next time," Jiang Ning retorted with a playful glance, his tone laced with a hint of teasing.
"Uncle Jiang, Mengmeng wants to eat fish," Mengmeng said in a milky voice, her eyes fixed on the Steamed Fish on the plate.
Her eyes were full of anticipation, and her little body couldn't help but lean forward.
"Alright, but Mengmeng needs to be careful when eating the fish. There might be fish bones hidden in the meat. If you eat one, you must spit it out, okay?"
Although Jiang Ning had carefully picked out all the bones, he still couldn't relax, reminding Mengmeng patiently and gently.
Mengmeng carefully picked up a small piece of fish and put it in her mouth.
Instantly, her eyes widened, and her face was filled with surprise. She exclaimed, "It's so delicious! This is the best fish I've ever eaten! I want more!"
"Yes, Mengmeng, eat more if you like it."
Jiang Ning's face was full of affection. He picked up another piece of fish and gently placed it on Mengmeng's plate, not forgetting to tell her, "Eat slowly, don't rush."
"Oh, right, I forgot to take a picture!"
Su Che suddenly slapped his head, as if he'd remembered something important. He quickly put down his chopsticks and fumbled for his phone.
In reality, he was planning to film a video. The camera precisely captured Jiang Ning's face, which was full of doting smiles. He was gently and carefully putting fish meat into Mengmeng's bowl, creating a warm and beautiful scene.
After filming, he didn't hesitate to send the video to Su Meng again.
At this moment, Su Meng was sitting on a private jet, eating a lukewarm fast-food meal out of boredom.
The phone's notification sound suddenly rang out. She instinctively opened the video that Su Che had sent.
In the video, a table of exquisite dishes, like works of art, instantly caught her eye. Jiang Ning was dotingly picking up fish meat and gently placing it in Mengmeng's plate.
"Grrrrumble"
Su Meng's stomach audibly growled. She subconsciously swallowed her saliva, her eyes glued to the food in the video, as if she could already genuinely smell the tempting aroma that was wafting over.
Looking at the bland, lukewarm fast food in front of her, Su Meng immediately lost her appetite.
"I don't want to eat this. Take it away."
Su Meng put down her chopsticks without hesitation and instructed the flight attendant.
Then, as if possessed, she kept replaying the videos, watching those mouthwatering dishes.
Her cravings were completely ignited, and her mind was filled with images of the food.
At this moment, she didn't have a single thought about the business trip.
Thinking about how she wouldn't be able to taste such delicious food for another three long months, she couldn't help but complain, "That damn brother! He deliberately won't let me eat properly, it's infuriating."
Half an hour passed in a flash.
At the dining table, everyone devoured the dishes like a whirlwind.
The plates were spotless, not a drop of soup remained.
Su Che patted his round belly with satisfaction, his face beaming with contentment.
"Old Jiang, you're amazing! Your cooking skills could get you a head chef position in a top hotel!"
Su Che couldn't help but give a thumbs up again, praising Jiang Ning's cooking skills, his tone full of admiration.
"Alright, Old Su, you've said that countless times since you started eating. You keep Mengmeng company for a bit, I'm going to clean up the kitchen."
Jiang Ning smiled helplessly and turned to go to the kitchen to clear the leftovers.
"Sure, no problem. How about I come over for dinner again tonight?"
Su Che, with a thick skin, tentatively asked, a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
"Old Su, you're dreaming! I'm working for someone else here, it's not a restaurant you own.
Eating this much is already pretty good. If you come back for more, I'll probably get fired."
Jiang Ning said, annoyed, a helpless expression on his face.
Seeing Jiang Ning's firm attitude, Su Che waved his hand and said with a disappointed air, "Alright, you're busy, I'll go play with Mengmeng for a while."
Afterward, Jiang Ning turned and walked into the kitchen, tied on an apron, and began to methodically wash the dishes and wipe down the stove, his movements both skilled and efficient.
Half an hour later.
Jiang Ning finally finished cleaning up, walked out of the kitchen, and let out a long sigh of relief.
"Alright, Su Che, you've eaten, you should go back now. I really don't have time to hang out with you. Mengmeng should be taking her nap."
Jiang Ning looked at Su Che and said seriously.
Seeing that Jiang Ning really wanted him to leave, Su Che felt awkward about lingering any longer. He stood up and said, "Alright, I'll go then. I'll come over again some other day."
However, at this moment, Jiang Ning had no idea that in the short time it took to eat a meal, his video on Huayin had already gone viral.
The number of his followers had skyrocketed to over eight hundred thousand, and the growth momentum showed no signs of slowing down; the influx of viewers was still rapidly increasing.
This time, the group of people following him was no longer limited to families with children; it had also attracted a large number of chefs from hotels and restaurants, as well as many food lovers who enjoyed cooking.
"This 'Young Dad' is definitely a top chef from some big hotel, this cooking skill is amazing!"
"Yeah, I never knew cooking could be so particular, it's eye-opening, unbelievable!"
"That Steamed Fish, just looking at it makes me want to take a bite so badly, it's so tempting!"
"I'm starving just watching this, my mouth is watering like crazy, it's almost a flood."
"Haha, to the commenter above, you should get a bucket to catch it, otherwise it won't be enough."
"This 'Young Dad''s kid is so lucky, eating such delicious food every day."
In the comments section, a string of comments and likes flooded in like a tide, one after another.
If it wasn't mealtime, and many chefs were busy working, the increase in followers would have been even faster.
In the general manager's office of a five-star hotel in Kyoto, the general manager and the hotel's head chef were intently watching the "Young Dad"'s video.
"Chef Chen, what do you think of this cooking? How does it compare to your level?"
The general manager asked with a serious expression, his eyes glued to the screen, not missing a single detail.
An elderly chef in his fifties, also stared intently at the video.
His eyes revealed a hint of amazement and admiration as he slowly said, "Manager Ke, this 'Young Dad's' cooking skills, I'm ashamed to say, are not as good as mine.
Whether it's the exquisite knife skills, the precise control of seasonings, or the deep understanding of the characteristics of the ingredients, he's a cut above."
The general manager's eyes lit up upon hearing this and he urgently asked, "Is there any way to find this 'Young Dad' and invite him to our hotel?"
The head chef frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and said, "Manager Ke, I'm just a head chef. I can only try to send this 'Young Dad' a private message to see if I can get his contact information.
Or, we could look for Huayin platform, they should have detailed information about this 'Young Dad'."
The general manager continued to ask, "And what level do you think this 'Young Dad' has reached in terms of cooking?"
The head chef sighed, a hint of regret in his voice. "Manager Ke, I think he's already reached the peak of top-tier cooking. We're still at the initial stages. Sigh, the gap is quite large."
Scenes like this were playing out in many major hotels.
The owners of major hotels were all enthusiastically discussing the matter of the "Young Dad."
They were even racking their brains, trying every possible way to find out his detailed information, just to be able to recruit this mysterious person with superb cooking skills.
Wu Lianqu, the chief planning officer of Huayin, was carefully watching the video of the "Young Dad" at this moment.
In the video, Jiang Ning was detailing the cooking methods of each dish, explaining which parts of the ingredients were most suitable.
He was demonstrating amazing knife skills, and the dishes he stir-fried were rich in color, aroma, and taste, like exquisite works of art.
Wu Lianqu couldn't help but sigh with emotion, secretly praising: There are so few head chefs who are willing to share their exquisite techniques so unreservedly.
Many head chefs treat their skills as treasures, hiding them away. Yet, this "Young Dad" could explain things so seriously and meticulously, showing his broad-mindedness. It was truly commendable.
Wu Lianqu pondered for a moment, then slammed his hand on the table, making a decision: "Promote it! We must promote it vigorously and support it all the way! We must let more people see such an outstanding culinary skill sharing."
