Chapter 18 -18 Maybe I Have a Special Talent in This Area
Luo Ning quickly made another dish of pork with green beans and a stir-fried mustard hearts, and even though they were just simple home-cooked dishes, they looked incredibly appetizing.
Su Qinglan, smelling the aroma, felt even hungrier, “The dishes are ready, let’s serve them and eat.”
“Sure.” Bo Xiangxiang smiled somewhat reluctantly.

Seeing the dishes Luo Ning made, which looked and smelled better than her own, she felt upset but couldn’t show it.
At that moment, Tong Jia came in to help.
“What are you making? We could smell something delicious all the way outside, it brought out the hunger pangs.” He was a host, and he had a way with words.
But indeed, a savory aroma had wafted from the yard earlier, making him very hungry.
Bo Xiangxiang dodged his question and responded with a smile, “Teacher Luo and I have finished cooking the meal, and you’ve smelled the delicious food.”
Tong Jia chuckled, “You’ve worked hard.”
The rice Luo Ning had cooked earlier was also ready, and the group brought the dishes out.
After serving the food, everyone washed their hands and sat down at the dining table.
Bo Xiangxiang did not want Ji Xinghang and Lu Xun to know what she had cooked, so she took the initiative to start serving the rice.
She offered a considerate smile, “Everyone must be hungry after traveling all morning.”
As she served the rice, which was cooked perfectly and not burnt at all, she felt a bit frustrated.
Indeed, everyone was hungry. They thanked her and started eating as soon as they got their rice.
The pickled fish had the strongest scent, very appetizing to the smell.
Chai Jing eyed the two large bowls of pickled fish, unsure which one to start with, “Are these two servings of pickled fish different? I see one has more chili peppers.”
Luo Ning smiled and explained, “I didn’t know if you all could handle spicy food, so I made two versions. This one is mildly spicy, Mr. Chai, you can try this one.”
She was aware that both Chai Jing and Su Qinglan couldn’t eat spicy food.
Hearing this, Chai Jing felt pleased, “Alright, I’ll try this one.”
He took a piece, placed it in his bowl, and after taking a bite, his eyes lit up immediately. He quickly ate the whole piece and reached for another.
“Delicious!” As he ate, he gave Luo Ning a thumbs up, “This is the best pickled fish I’ve ever had.”
“What other dishes did you make?” His taste buds were awakened, and he asked straight to the point.
Luo Ning pointed at the pork with green beans and stir-fried mustard hearts, “Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Chai, I made these two dishes as well.”
“I’ll give them a try.” He then proceeded to taste the other two dishes and couldn’t stop praising, “Luo Ning, your cooking skills are fantastic. I think it’s even better than what I’ve had at restaurants.”
Since Luo Ning had identified her dishes, the remaining ones were obviously made by Bo Xiangxiang.
To not hurt Bo Xiangxiang’s pride, Chai Jing also decided to try her dishes.
After eating a slice of the poached pork, he started coughing from the spiciness, hurriedly gulped down several mouthfuls of water, and ate some rice before he felt better.
The spicy chicken looked really hot, so he didn’t attempt it, but he tried the scrambled eggs with tomatoes and tofu with baby vegetables, which tasted quite ordinary.
However, considering the young girl’s efforts over an hour, he still smiled and said, “Xiangxiang’s dishes are pretty good too.”
Bo Xiangxiang could only smile in response, “Thank you, Mr. Chai.”
Then she saw Chai Jing busy eating, the dishes he picked were all made by Luo Ning.
She didn’t actually appreciate the compliment; on the contrary, she felt annoyed at Chai Jing for being nosy. Why did he have to ask which dishes Luo Ning had made?
The live comments were very lively at this point.
[Haha, Mr. Chai says Xiangxiang’s dishes are fine, but his chopsticks keep going for the dishes prepared by Luo Ning, saying one thing but doing another!]
[Mr. Chai was really struggling after trying the poached pork slice earlier, it’s tough on his part, Xiangxiang really didn’t consider others when she cooked.]
“Watching him enjoy the food so much, the dishes Luo Ning made must taste great.”
“Don’t just talk about Mr. Chai, even I’m getting hungry watching.”
Everyone else picked up their chopsticks to start eating, and both Wei Yao and Tong Jia tasted the dishes made by the two of them.
Then decisively, their chopsticks reached more for the dishes Luo Ning made, praising as they ate, “This is delicious!”
Lu Xun never played to the gallery. With his high status, he had no need to flatter anyone, so he did not even pick up a piece of Bo Xiangxiang’s cooking, choosing only the dishes made by Luo Ning.
Hearing Mr. Chai and the others praise Luo Ning’s cooking, he grew curious.
After the first bite, he was genuinely surprised by the excellent taste, and unexpectedly found her culinary skills impressive, and he unconsciously joined the battle for food.
Ji Xinghang never hid his true self in the entertainment circle; he entered it for fun, and thus always acted casually and wilfully, without the intention to please anyone or the audience.
Bo Xiangxiang’s cooking didn’t look appetizing at all to him, since Luo Ning had long spoiled his taste, so he also only chose Luo Ning’s dishes.
Then he discovered that her cooking had improved even further, which sped up his eating and food grabbing.
Su Qinglan just symbolically picked at the tomato and egg stir-fry and tofu, then joined the gentlemen in the scramble for the dishes Luo Ning made, fearing they would be gone if she were too slow.
“The teachers are competing in hand speed! Watching them fight over the dishes is so lively, I’m getting hungry too.”
“Luo Ning’s cooking is so popular; it’s all nearly gone.”
“How bad can Bo Xiangxiang’s dishes be? I noticed that others stopped touching them after trying.”
“This indirectly proves that Luo Ning’s food must be delicious; I want to follow the idols and fight for it too.”
“The idol eats so gracefully and looks so good.”
“Star baby’s eating is so pleasing to the eyes.”
“I don’t know who said earlier that Ningbao definitely couldn’t cook, that food cooked on such an old stove would be burnt, but now I want to ask you if your face hurts?”
“I’m feeling embarrassed for them; Ningbao is amazing!”
Bo Xiangxiang watched Lu Xun and Ji Xinghang’s choices, feeling nauseated; Luo Ning had taken all the opportunities to show off in front of the two of them.
She ate without tasting the food, and with a turn of thoughts, she smiled at Luo Ning, “Teacher Luo, you’re really amazing, managing to cook such delicious dishes with an old stove like this. I’m just not used to it, that’s all.”
This was also an indirect explanation for why the food she made wasn’t as good as Luo Ning’s.
Luo Ning knew what she meant, but she didn’t plan to take on the pitying little sister persona to comfort her.
So she blinked and said, “Maybe I just have a special talent for this.”
Nobody expected her to say that, yet they didn’t feel repulsed. Instead, they found her somewhat blunt mannerism cute.
“You can remove the word ‘maybe,'” Lu Xun said, looking up at her with a smile.
Catching the connection he tossed her way, Luo Ning smiled radiantly and nodded, “Okay then, I’ll take Mr. Lu’s advice and drop the ‘maybe.'”
“Ah, Ningbao’s smile is so beautiful.”
“Even though I’m not a Ning Fan, I have to say that Luo Ning’s smile is incredibly charming; it’s mesmerizing.”
“I’ve noticed Luo Ning is quite cute. If it were someone else, they would probably feign modesty and pretend to comfort the other, but she’s so straightforward.”
“I love such an unaffected little sister.”
“Yes, since she said she wouldn’t leech off Ji Xinghang’s popularity, I’ve felt that she speaks and acts quite directly.”
“I suddenly don’t understand why there were so many people insulting Luo Ning online before. She seems fine to me!”
“I think so too, so it’s better to trust what we see with our own eyes.”
Luo Ning’s performance just then garnered goodwill from both fans and bystanders.
Star Fans watched their brother bury his head in the dishes Luo Ning made and found themselves unable to speak ill of her, or else they’d be slapping their own faces.
Haters tried to start a negative trend, but they were quickly drowned out in the barrage of comments. After all, given Luo Ning’s prior performance, there was nothing notable to criticize her for, and therefore it didn’t stir up much controversy.
