Chapter 4

In "The Favorite of a Rich Family", there is only a brief mention of the Yu family's family history: the ancestors of the Yu family had a royal chef and the Yu family can be regarded as a big family in the capital for several generations.

But the descendants of the Yu family have no talent in cooking, relying on the recipes and secret skills handed down by their ancestors to barely support the name of the family of royal chefs, but the cooking skill is not good, anyone can tell whether it is delicious or not. The business of the Yu family was bleak and it was difficult to see the prosperity of the past.

Xing Lixuan also knew about the history of the Yu family. Perhaps Yu Antong's knife craftsmanship was nothing for the family of royal chefs.

If it's just knife skills, as long as you practice hard, it's not that you can't practice to this level.

Yu Antong added water to the pot and boiled it first, waiting for the water to boil down.

In the process of boiling water, he peeled and diced the hot tomato, poured a small amount of oil into the pan and heated it, added the minced onion, ginger and garlic to the oil and sauteed until fragrant, poured in the diced tomato and cooked it until it was soft and then put in the ham slices, stir fry for a while, then pour the sauce he prepared, add a bowl of water and cook over high heat.

The noodles soaked in boiling water was cooked, Yu Antong asked Xing Lixuan: "How much do you eat?"

There was already a fragrance in the pan. Xing Lixuan, who originally said he had no appetite, had aroused appetite, but for the sake of face, Xing Lixuan still said the same sentence: "I am not eating, you can do it for yourself."

Yu Antong did not listen to him, estimated a little, made almost three bowls of the amount.

Then he took out two eggs, cracked them, poured them into the pan that had already boiled, turned to a low heat, and after a while thickened slightly with water and starch, finally added a little salt, vinegar, and a few drops of sesame oil, and stirred evenly then turn off the fire.

After the hand-rolled noodles were cooked, Yu Antong came out and poured the thick tomato, ham, and egg soup on the noodles.

Yu Antong shouted: "It's time for dinner~"

Xing Lixuan has long been suffering because of the smell. He has been busy with work and because of being forced to get married, his appetite had been very poor these past days. For him food is only supplementing energy to support his body.

But now, he was completely hooked by the smell of the food and he couldn't wait to try Yu Antong's noodles.

It's been a long time since he had this feeling of looking forward to starting a meal and it's just a bowl of very home-made tomato egg noodles, which is really strange.

As soon as he heard Yu Antong say it was time to eat, Xing Lixuan simply pretended he didn't say anything about not eating before and sat down cheekily.

Yu Antong deliberately waited for him to take a bite before saying, "Didn't you say you won't eat it?" 

Xing Lixuan ate the noodles in his mouth and said, "Seeing that you've already done my share, I will just give you face."

Yu Antong laughed, leaving a little face for Xing Lixuan, without saying anything more, he picked up a chopstick noodle and blew hot air into his mouth.

The first thing to feel is the sour taste of tomato juice, which stimulates people to secrete saliva unconsciously and open their taste buds.

Because he added a little sugar when making the sauce, the sweetness of the sauce and the egg suppressed the sourness of the tomato, so that it was only slightly sour and the little sourness of the tomato could just eliminate the fishy smell of the egg.

Chewing another bite of the hand-rolled noodles, which was smooth and firm, with a slight elasticity, because they have been refrigerated.

On the whole, the taste was rich and varied, which is appetizing.

Yu Antong nodded in satisfaction. Fortunately, his craftsmanship did not decline.

He wanted to ask Xing Lixuan how he felt, but when he turned around, he saw that this person seemed to be eating elegantly but in a blink of an eye, half a bowl of noodles had already been eaten.

Well, no need to ask.

Yu Antong was used to chewing and swallowing slowly, so he hadn't finished half the bowl and Xing Lixuan had already wiped out one bowl.

Xing Lixuan, who hadn't had a good meal for a long time, pursed his lips contentedly, put aside his prejudice against Yu Antong for a while and praised sincerely, "This is the best tomato and egg noodles I've ever eaten."

Between the words, his eyes were still staring directly at the extra bowl, looking as if he hadn't eaten a full meal for three days. Seeing him like this, who would believe this is a young master of a wealthy family.

Yu Antong laughed and pushed the bowl to him: "Eldest young master, this is also for you, please eat it." 

It is rare for Xing Dashao to have an emotion called embarrassment.

After dinner, Xing Lixuan sat on the sofa and wanted to have a good talk with Yu Antong: "I didn't expect you to hide this skill, even the top chef of Juying Building may not be able to make a bowl of homemade noodles at your level, your uncle Yu Qingnian probably doesn't know that you have this skill."
    
Yu Antong kept watching when he was cooking, but he didn't see any special ingredients, he was curious, how could the taste be so good.

Juying Building, Yu Antong knew that it was the property of the Yu family's opponent, the Shen family.

Jiangcheng is an international coastal city with a developed economy, densely populated with people and a very developed catering industry.

Both the Shen family and the Yu family are engaged in catering. They are the two most famous local companies in the catering industry in Jiangcheng, Yu family's Baifang House and Shen family's Juying Building.

In the past, when someone had a distinguished guest or relative, it would be a good thing to go to these two families restaurant.

It's a pity that the successors of the Yu family's cooking skills are not as good as the previous generation and the situation of the Shen family is similar.

With the development of the times, many entrepreneurs from other places and even foreign countries have poured into Jiangcheng. The influence of Shen and Yu in the catering industry in Jiangcheng is getting smaller and smaller and the younger generation prefers to go to the famous restaurants with romantic environments so they can take photos and send to circles of friends.

However, as a local brand in Jiangcheng, Shen and Yu have always been on the same level. Even if they are not as good as before, there is no third one to change the situation in the local catering industry in Jiangcheng.

Until Yu Antong's generation, the eldest grandson of the Shen family, Shen Yunqing, had a gifted culinary talent.

This made the Shen family overwhelm the Yu family at once, forcing Yu Qingnian to want to develop into other industries more urgently.

The reason why Yu Antong has a deep memory of Shen Yunqing is not because he thinks that this person is very good at cooking, but because this person in the book is the male supporting character who has a crush on the protagonist Gong and he is also the person who readers wants to be the Shou.

Although the author did not continue to write, Yu Antong also felt that if the author really wanted to change, he would definitely replace it with Shen Yunqing.

Yu Antong is too lazy to think about these twists and turns, no matter what is written in the book, he is interested in Xing Lixuan and will not give in.

Of course Yu Qingnian didn't know his cooking skills, after all, he was no longer the original Yu Antong.

Xing Lixuan's last sentence was to ask him, but in fact, his tone was firm. If Yu Qingnian knew that Yu Antong's cooking skills were amazing, he would have used him to revitalize Yu family's Baifang House, so how could the Yu family be on the verge of bankruptcy and why would Yu Antong marry into another family?

Xing Lixuan stared at Yu Antong's eyes and asked, "Since you have been hiding it so well in the Yu family, why did you expose it in front of me?"

Yu Antong laughed, the end of his eyes raised, his whole person's temperament was like a noble breed of cat, unreasonably provocative: "Because you are my husband~"

Xing Lixuan's heart skipped a beat and he ended his eye contact with Yu Antong.

Xing Lixuan turned his head and said, "I repeat, although I am married to you, I have no feelings for you, so please don't do things that are obviously too intimate, it will make you look frivolous. You must have some self-respect and not act like someone with no family education ....."

Yu Antong heard the words, lowered his head and wiggled his fingers, without saying a word.

On the contrary, Xing Lixuan felt that what he said was too much. He remembered that Yu Antong was actually an orphan and he really shouldn't say that a person whose parents died early had no family education.

Just when he regretted saying too much, he saw Yu Antong raised his eyes and asked cautiously, "Is this too much?"

The simple little eyes revealed a sense of ignorance, which made Xing Lixuan be in a trance for a moment.

However, in the next second, Yu Antong smiled slyly, and approached him and said, "But what if I still want to do something even more extreme with you? Husband~"

Xing Lixuan retreated, showing a dodging gesture that refused to approach Yu Antong. His brows furrowed fiercely: "You..."

Xing Lixuan retreated so Yu Antong had to lean forward. When Xing Lixuan was about to speak, he stretched out the index finger to block Xing Lixuan's mouth.

Yu Antong's slender knuckles were pressed against Xing Lixuan's lips, one leg propped on the ground, the other kneeled on the sofa, leaned forward and pressed towards him, 

"Who knows in this life which will come first, tomorrow or an accident? Isn't it good to get rid of the shackles of those worldly rules without harming the interests of others and follow your own heart?"

Yu Antong smiled, the black pupils reflected the shining light and the slightly raised corners of his eyes made him look like an unattainable arrogant prince.

But his voice was soft, like a cat that was cuddling around and acting coquettish: "Today is our wedding night, isn't it normal that I want to do something intimate with my husband? It's a candle night in the bridal room, won't it be a pity to not do anything."

The thunderstorm outside gradually subsided and after Yu Antong finished speaking, the whole room fell silent.

The ambiguous atmosphere, silent seduction, bad posture, and warm and vivid touch made Xing Lixuan, who was single for 25 years and never had such close contact with his peers, breath unsteady and his thinking was blurred.

Xing Lixuan didn't even know that a man could act like a spoiled child.

No, it shouldn't be like this. The data he investigated clearly showed that Yu Antong was an ordinary college student with no friends, cowardly personality, and a very low sense of presence. The whole person is not worth mentioning. Except for his appearance, he was admitted to University A with his own efforts. A University is the best university in Jiangcheng, but it is not among the top in the whole country.

He doesn't believe that a timid and introverted person for twenty years will completely change his personality in one day, unless...

Yes! Unless he was doing this on purpose!

It must be so, Xing Lixuan was sure he had guessed the truth.

Yu Antong should have married him under the pressure of his uncle. After all, both parties on this marriage were forced.

And Yu Antong's temperament has changed drastically and he must be doing this on purpose to disgust him, so that he won't touch him at night.

The more eager he is rushing to make out with him, the more afraid he must be to have a relationship with him.

It's a pity that with this acting skill he is not an actor, he almost believed it.

Thinking that he had guessed Yu Antong's psychology, Xing Lixuan snorted and finally felt that he regained control of the situation and no longer avoided Yu Antong's approach.

On the contrary, he turned against the other and pressed Yu Antong on the back of the sofa at once, pinching his chin and approaching him.

The man's momentum swept in, causing Yu Antong's heart to stir.

Come, come, he wants to experience the joy of adulthood!

The next second, Xing Lixuan said coldly, "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking, I will give you one last chance, tell me what Yu Qingnian said to my grandma and I won't touch you, otherwise..."

Yu Antong: ? ? ?

What happened?

Man, what's wrong with you?

If you say like that, don't say I really don't know, even if I know, I definitely won't tell you.

Yu Antong's heart was happy and playful.

He tilted his head and stuck back his neck to avoid Xing Lixuan's approach: "No, don't come here!"

In fact, the little man in his heart danced: Come! come! Hurry up and do it!
