Transmigrated Into the Vicious Stepmother in a Historical Novel - Chapter 261

Sheng Fei smiled, realizing that these two children were truly different from ordinary kids.

Each of her five children was clever and lively, which brought Sheng Fei great joy.

“Alright, one of you will earn money for me to spend, and the other will cook for me to eat. You all treat me so well, I’m truly blessed. Right now, I can only say two words to you: I really love you.” (TL: it’s two words in Chinese)

While Sheng Fei was speaking with the children, Lu Ting had already readied the dishes.

Soon, he would start frying. After learning from his previous failures, Lu Ting had improved his cooking skills this time and was confident he could impress everyone, perhaps even win some compliments from the kids.

Sheng Fei had mentioned that the tastiness of a dish was mainly about the seasoning and cooking time.

As long as he mastered those, the food would definitely be delicious.

With Sheng Fei’s encouraging words, Lu Ting felt very confident too. After quickly finishing several dishes, Sheng Fei waited by the table.

Once Lu Ting was done, Lu Da immediately walked with his short legs and served the first dish to Sheng Fei.

Now that Lu Ting had cooked, he always let Sheng Fei be the first to taste his food.

It seemed that only Sheng Fei didn’t mind if Lu Ting’s dishes were not up to par. No matter how they turned out, Sheng Fei would eat them expressionlessly, praise Lu Ting, and offer suggestions for improvement.

“How does this dish taste?”

“Lu Ting, this cold tofu with scallions is pretty good. The tofu is fragrant without being greasy, and there’s a hint of sweetness, probably from sugar. I didn’t expect your cold tofu with scallions to be so tasty this time.”

After tasting it, Sheng Fei’s eyes lit up. She realized that Lu Ting’s cooking skills had improved by a lot.

Hearing Sheng Fei’s praise made Lu Ting feel very happy.

With Sheng Fei’s encouragement, Lu Ting became even more adept at cooking and quickly prepared several more dishes.

Under Sheng Fei’s guidance, Lu Ting was becoming an excellent cook.

This was something to Sheng Fei’s surprise. Once Lu Ting was done cooking all the dishes, he took them out for Sheng Fei to taste.

Sheng Fei looked at the cooked dishes. She first sniffed the aroma. When trying dishes, one should observe the color, fragrance, and taste.

The colors of Lu Ting’s dishes were average, but at least they were edible.

The flavors were decent, although some dishes were too salty and others too sweet.

As for the aroma, it was quite pleasant. Sheng Fei smelled the dishes and gave Lu Ting a thumbs-up, showing that his flavors were pretty good.

After discussing the taste of the dishes with Lu Ting, Lu Ting secretly noted down her feedback in his mind, thinking that he would improve next time based on Sheng Fei’s methods.

“Okay, I’ll definitely improve next time. Do you prefer sweeter or saltier dishes? I was hoping to know your taste based on the leftovers, but I didn’t expect you to eat everything almost the same way. It seems like you can enjoy many different dishes, so I can’t quite figure out your preferred flavor. Your tastes seem pretty balanced lately.”

Lu Ting smiled as he looked at Sheng Fei. He admitted that he couldn’t decipher Sheng Fei’s current preferences.

Sheng Fei felt that her tastes had changed a lot. She used to like sweet foods, then had a phase of preferring salty dishes, and recently she had been enjoying spicy food more.
