Then, Lu Jihan poured a bit of oil into the pan.
When the oil was hot, he tossed the shredded potatoes into the pan, and with deft movements, he stir-fried them, every action smooth and perfectly pleasing to the eye.
For a moment, Song Yinyin thought she had returned to the past.
Back then, he would also prepare a large table full of sumptuous dishes, waiting for her and their son to eat.
To her, those were the warmest and most wonderful moments.
Recalling the good times, Song Yinyin’s nose inexplicably turned red again.
When Lu Jihan turned around, he saw Song Yinyin’s reddened eyes and nose.
He felt as if something had struck his chest, and he stared at her in a daze, his brows furrowed, lips tightly pressed together.
Seeing him turn back, Song Yinyin quickly turned away, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes a couple of times, and then turned around with a forced smile:
"Well, I thought about it and I should just come over and help. I can still do things like chopping and washing vegetables."
Lu Jihan pointed to the tomatoes on the side and said, "Then help peel the tomatoes."
She nodded, picked up a tomato, and began peeling it.
We have Lu Jinyan and Wen Duoduo to thank for these ingredients and condiments, which they brought from Country Z.
She had previously told Wen Duoduo on the phone that there wasn’t much delicious food in S Country and she wasn’t used to it, missing the cuisine of Country Z very much.
Wen Duoduo had conveniently brought some ingredients over, which were now proving useful.
Song Yinyin first poured some boiling water and placed the tomatoes in a bowl with the hot water.
After a minute or two, she took the tomatoes out of the bowl and gently cut a cross at the top with a knife, and the skin peeled open on its own.
Peeled along the slitted skin, the entire tomato skin came off easily.
Lu Jihan turned back, seeing her precise action, teased, "You’re not too silly, knowing how to peel tomatoes."
Song Yinyin moved her lips and said, "You taught me this."
"..." Lu Jihan pressed his lips together and said nothing.
For a moment, the atmosphere became somewhat awkward and sullen.
After a while, Lu Jihan was the first to break the silence and asked, "By the way, what do you like to eat? There are lamb chops and shrimp here."
"You choose, I’m not picky about food."
The ingredients in S Country are quite different from those in Country Z, but for them, seafood was more common.
Especially stuff like sea shrimp; the shrimp in S Country are big, tender, and plump.
Lu Jihan selected some sea shrimp and made boiled shrimp.
Afterwards, he gently placed the pot and spatula on the counter, saying, "Okay, the rest you handle by yourself, is it alright?"
"Sure."
Song Yinyin nodded, thinking she couldn’t let Lu Jihan think less of her.
Looking at the remaining ingredients on the counter, she could just make a tomato scrambled egg and creamy corn soup.
About ten minutes later, the table was set with three dishes and a soup.
Boiled shrimp, tomato scrambled eggs, stir-fried shredded potatoes, and creamy corn soup, though they looked light, but carried the strong flavor of home.
Lu Jinghan nodded and said, "Sit down and eat."
Song Yinyin was already somewhat hungry and hadn’t tasted the flavors of home for a long time. Now, smelling these familiar dishes, she couldn’t help but want to dig in.
She eagerly reached out with her chopsticks, grabbed a shrimp, peeled it, and was about to put it in her mouth when she suddenly remembered something.
