"Wow! Lu Bai, look at this crab, it's so plump!" Bai Lu exclaimed, pointing to a fat crab with teeth and claws.
"After I get home, I will make steamed hairy crabs for you to try." Lu Bai responded with a smile.
"Awesome!" Bai Lu cheered excitedly.
It didn't take long for them to return home with a full load and a lot of fresh seafood in their hands.
……
Back at the love house, Bai Lu eagerly helped Lu Bai move the seafood into the kitchen.
"Lu Bai, let me help you." Bai Lu proposed enthusiastically.
Lu Bai smiled and nodded in agreement, and then began to handle the blobfish skillfully.
"We first need to cut off the skin covering its surface and open it from the back." Lu Bai explained while operating.
"Why? Isn't its skin delicious?" Bai Lu asked curiously.
"Its skin is rich in gel, has a bad taste and has a fishy smell. This is a characteristic of deep-sea fish, and it also contains more water." Lu Bai explained patiently.
"Wow, Lu Bai, your techniques are so professional!" Bai Lu marveled at the side.
Lu Bai was seen holding a sharp knife in his hand. He raised and lowered the knife with extremely smooth movements without any hesitation.
He gently stroked along the fish's back, and his precise force had obviously been tempered countless times.
Immediately afterwards, he quickly and completely peeled off the fish skin, with a proficiency comparable to that of an experienced chef.
The internal organs are processed cleanly and neatly without damaging the integrity of the fish.
Every step is orderly, and his eyes are focused and confident.
Bai Lu watched intently and couldn't help clapping her hands.
"Lu Bai, your skills are enough to open a restaurant!" Bai Lu said half-jokingly.
Lu Bai smiled slightly and responded humbly: "My skills are not impressive enough. They are still far behind a true master of swordsmanship."
However, the barrage has already boiled over.
“So professional!”
"What a great guy!"
"Lu Bai is really an all-round boyfriend!"
"I have been a chef for ten years, but my knife skills are not as good as Lu Bai's!"
Under Lu Bai's exquisite skills, the blobfish was quickly processed cleanly, waiting for the next cooking meal.
At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly sounded: "Lu Bai! Bai Lu! We are here!"
Bai Lu walked out of the kitchen in surprise and saw Yang Chaoyue and Guo Qilin standing at the door carrying large and small bags.
"Hello, long time no see!" Yang Chaoyue enthusiastically gave Bai Lu a big hug as soon as he entered the door.
"Long time no see, I really miss you so much!" The two friends who became acquainted with the show hugged each other tightly at this moment.
Guo Qilin walked straight to the kitchen and asked, "Lu Bai, do you need help?"
"No, you go out and sit for a while. I can handle it here." Lu Bai shook his head with a smile and said with confidence, "I guarantee that you will have a great time tonight!"
"That's great!" Guo Qilin knew Lu Bai's extraordinary cooking skills and was already looking forward to tonight's seafood dinner.
At this time, Yang Chaoyue, who had finished reminiscing about the past, also walked into the kitchen, smiled and joked: "Lu Bai, you are really in the limelight during this period, both confessing your love and proposing."
"It's not bad." Lu Bai laughed and said proudly, "How about my confession ceremony, wasn't it good?"
"That's great!" Yang Chaoyue praised sincerely, "I just discovered now that you are a straight man on the surface, but you actually know how to be romantic better than anyone else."
……
Lu Bai was stunned for a moment and asked: "What's wrong with me?"
"You are not a scumbag, but you are a scumbag among girls in the world." Yang Chaoyue said exaggeratedly, "Do you know, how many girls were heartbroken for you the night you proposed!"
Lu Bai was speechless: "..."
After hearing Yang Chaoyue's words, everyone couldn't help laughing.
Bai Lu also walked into the kitchen with a smile and came to Lu Bai's rescue: "Chaoyue, don't make fun of Lu Bai." "To be honest, sometimes I really envy the relationship between you two." Yang Chaoyue said in her tone. Full of envy.
What she envied was not how talented or romantic Lu Bai was, but that they could find each other. This was what she envied the most.
At this moment, another familiar voice sounded: "What are you laughing at? I can hear your voices from the beach."
Everyone looked back and saw that Wang Hedi and Wang Shuxin had arrived.
Seeing their arrival, Bai Lu and Yang Chaoyue immediately greeted them.
“Comfortable!”
"Xiao Shuxin!"
The three girls held hands and chatted excitedly about the past, laughing happily from time to time.
Wang Hedi turned his eyes to Lu Bai and Guo Qilin, and greeted with a smile: "Brothers, long time no see."
Guo Qilin smiled and nodded in response: "Yes, long time no see!"
Lu Bai joked: "Didi, I haven't seen you for a while, but you are getting more and more handsome!"
Wang Hedi pretended to be surprised and said: "Oh, I haven't seen you for a while, Lu Shen, you have become hypocritical!"
"Hahaha!" Lu Bai laughed, and at this moment, the unfamiliarity between them disappeared without a trace.
After reminiscing about old times, both Yang Chaoyue and Wang Shuxin expressed their desire to help.
Lu Bai waved his hand and said, "I've almost finished handling the seafood. You can just go out and play for a while."
Wang Shuxin asked tentatively: "Then we really went?"
"Go, go, girls are not allowed to enter such an important place as the kitchen." Lu Bai smiled and pushed Bai Lu and the other girls out of the kitchen.
Guo Qilin rolled up his sleeves and volunteered: "Then Di Di and I will help you."
"Okay." Lu Bai didn't refuse this time. It was rare for everyone to get together, so it was nice to chat while working.
Moreover, Lu Bai had longer-term plans in mind.
In the future, Park Hyatt Media has plans to enter the film and television industry, and both Guo Qilin and Wang Hedi have certain appeal in the entertainment industry.
It is undoubtedly a wise move for Lu Bai to make good friends with them.
Of course, the most important reason for Lu Bai's friendship with them is not limited to this.
More importantly, their character is indeed worthy of Lu Bai's friendship.
In the kitchen, Lu Bai methodically directed the overall situation, while Guo Qilin and Wang Hedi concentrated on helping him.
While Guo Qilin was washing the vegetables skillfully, he praised: "Lu Bai, your cooking skills are so professional, it feels like you have learned it specially."
Lu Bai kept his hands on his hands and responded with a smile while handling the seafood: "I don't know how to learn it. I just like to study. The more I do it, the more I will become proficient."
Wang Hedi was helping to pass the condiments and couldn't help but interject: "In my opinion, your skills are enough to open a restaurant."
Lu Bai shook his head and said humbly: "Opening a restaurant is not that simple. I can show my skills to my friends occasionally."
Guo Qilin asked curiously: "Lu Bai, I heard that you are considering the development of film and television recently?"
Lu Bai nodded and confirmed: "We do have this plan, but it is still in the planning stage."
Wang Hedi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said eagerly: "Then if you have the opportunity in the future, you can count us in."
Lu Bai smiled and promised: "Of course, we brothers will definitely be able to accomplish something if we work together."
As he spoke, Lu Bai sped up the movements of his hands and ordered: "Qilin, help me bring the steamer over there."
"Okay!" Guo Qilin quickly handed over the steamer.
Wang Hedi was also very busy, placing the cut side dishes neatly one by one, and asked at the same time: "Lu Bai, how long will it take for this seafood to be ready?"
Lu Bai glanced at the tumbling seafood in the pot and replied: "It's almost, it'll be out of the pot in a while."
The kitchen was filled with heat and the aroma of food, and the busy figures of the three boys looked particularly warm under the light.
Their laughter and conversations intertwined together, forming a happy and harmonious picture.
