Chapter 76: The Joys of Life
In the living room, Wei Jia watched the two figures bustling in the kitchen, one large and one small, and couldn’t help but become entranced, her eyelashes slightly fluttering, the corners of her mouth involuntarily lifting.
Especially knowing that both were preparing dishes for her, the feeling in her heart became increasingly different, and she felt a sliver of warmth from home in the depths of her heart.
"Is this the joy of life..."
Wei Jia’s eyes changed, and the aggressive aura she had cultivated in work softened considerably, slowly taking the shape of life.
Not long after, Li Jing and Wei Zheming successively brought out the dishes.
"Stir-fried pork with chili, Yongzhou duck blood, chopped chili fish head, eggplant with beans, stir-fried beef, Amaranth soup. A total of six dishes, all home-cooked meals from my hometown, see how they are."
Li Jing handed chopsticks and bowls to Wei Jia, smiling: "The essence of Hunan cuisine is its wok aroma, it’s best fresh from the pan, would you like to try?"
Looking at the table full of steaming and fragrant Hunan dishes, Wei Jia couldn’t help but swallow a bit of saliva, picking up the chopsticks and trying them one by one.
When the food entered her mouth, Wei Jia’s eyes showed surprise, a rich spicy flavor instantaneously spread across her tongue, opening the door to her taste buds, perfectly blending the freshness of the ingredients with the seasonings, making her nod and emit an approving nasal sound.
She found Li Jing’s method was vastly different from the chef she had previously hired, not only more aromatic and spicy but most importantly, that unique wok aroma breathed soul into the food, much like the perfect combination of high heat and seasoning wrapping tightly around the ingredients, bringing out all their inherent flavors.
