Four o'clock. The kitchen was filled with a refreshing aroma.
In the Entertainment Room of the Cloud Tower, the door was tightly shut.
Mengmeng, Li Yao, and Hong Yueyin all clearly smelled the fragrance of the food.
They stopped their playing at the same time.
"It smells so good!" Li Yao looked at Mengmeng.
Hong Yueyin also asked, "Mengmeng, tell Auntie Hong, does your Uncle Jiang's cooking taste good?"
The aroma made their appetites surge, and they couldn't wait to taste it.
"Hehe, Uncle Jiang's cooking is the most delicious. Mengmeng loves eating Uncle Jiang's cooking." Mengmeng said proudly.
Li Yao was skeptical. Delicious aromas didn't necessarily mean the food tasted good. If it was truly delicious, Su Meng wouldn't have kept quiet. "Is that so?"
Mengmeng crossed her arms, pouting. "Really! Aunt Li, Aunt Hong, when you eat it later, you'll be just like Mengmeng and not want to eat it."
Hong Yueyin found this a bit odd. "What? Not want to eat it?"
Mengmeng explained, "It's like... Uncle Jiang's dishes are all so beautiful, so beautiful! Mengmeng doesn't want to eat them either."
Li Yao said, "So it's like that."
The two women exchanged glances, thinking that Jiang Ning's dishes probably had a lot of artistic arrangements. Mengmeng was young and just thought the food looked pretty. In reality, it might not taste that good, it was just the aroma that was tempting.
They often ate dishes prepared by the head chefs of five-star hotels and had occasionally tasted the chefs' own cooking.
If Jiang Ning was really that amazing, why would he be here working as a "Nanny"?
They wouldn't believe it even if they died.
For example, Jiang Ning's cooking skills have reached the Grandmaster late stage level, even more incredible than the state banquet head chef. But the state banquet head chef is only at the Grandmaster early stage level.
The few masters in each Cooking God Competition are only at the Grandmaster early or late stage level.
Five minutes later.
"Mengmeng, come down for dinner."
Jiang Ning called from downstairs, turning off his phone after recording the video. He then carried the cooked dishes and soup to the dining table.
Hearing the call, Mengmeng ran down first.
"Coming! Mengmeng is very, very good."
Li Yao and Hong Yueyin were both speechless. Jiang Ning hadn't said anything to them, but with Mengmeng's shout, it was as if they had been very naughty.
The two women went to the first floor and went to the restrooms to wash their hands.
Seeing the dishes on the dining table, Li Yao and Hong Yueyin exchanged glances.
Four dishes, one meat, and one soup. The carving and arrangement of each dish were exquisite and perfect.
These weren't dishes; they were works of art!
Jade Shrimp Balls: Fresh shrimp were coated in a layer of emerald-green spinach puree, dotted with golden fish roe sauce.
The shrimp balls were round and plump, the spinach puree was as transparent as jade, and the fish roe sauce looked like jewels. The whole thing was like a beautiful jade carving.
There was also a dish of Brocade Tofu: Delicate, tender tofu was carved into the shape of flowers, stuffed with delicious crab meat and crab roe, and outlined with carrot threads, mushroom threads, and the like to create the stamens and leaves.
The tofu was as white as flower petals, the golden crab meat and colorful side dishes creating a scene like blooming brocade, beautiful and magnificent.
Looking at such exquisite knife skills.
"Gurulu"
Both of them couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
No wonder Mengmeng said she couldn't bear to eat it; it was too beautiful.
The combination of colors made them hesitant to even pick up their chopsticks.
"Come on, Mengmeng, come eat."
Jiang Ning picked up Mengmeng and let her sit in the high chair, then served rice for Mengmeng, Li Yao, and Hong Yueyin.
Mengmeng had a big bowl of rice. Li Yao and Hong Yueyin's bowls, like Su Meng's, were almost half full.
"Eat up," Jiang Ning said with a smile.
Then, he put a little of each dish into Mengmeng's bowl.
Li Yao and Hong Yueyin on the other side were still in a daze.
"Mr. Jiang, did you make all of this?"
Li Yao asked expectantly.
"Of course, Uncle Jiang made it! Uncle Jiang's food is delicious!"
Mengmeng said happily, and then began to eat.
"Mmm, Uncle Jiang, the dishes you made today are as delicious as the porridge this morning."
Mengmeng said while eating.
"Gurulu"
Li Yao and Hong Yueyin swallowed their saliva again.
Then, the two of them scrambled to pick up a Jade Shrimp Ball and eat it.
When the dish entered their mouths, their eyes widened.
The first taste was the freshness of spinach puree, followed by the tender and chewy shrimp, and finally, the fish sauce burst in their mouths, the rich taste was intoxicating.
Hong Yueyin chewed and couldn't help but say, "It's so delicious, Jiang Ning, I didn't expect you to cook so well, I've never eaten such delicious food, it's better than what a five-star chef makes!"
Li Yao: "Wow, it's so delicious! Everything is what I love."
After that, the two of them, disregarding their image, wolfed down the food with Mengmeng.
These two women didn't have a shred of ladylike behavior left; they were practically starving ghosts reincarnated.
They even fought over the last Jade Shrimp Balls, their chopsticks clashing back and forth, neither willing to yield.
In the end, Mengmeng got the advantage.
Li Yao and Hong Yueyin stared at each other.
Hong Yueyin's face revealed a cunning smile: "Hmph, Li Yao, after you finish eating, quickly go back to Su Meng's company to work.
I'll take care of Mengmeng during this time, so you don't need to come over. Su Meng is busy, and there's a lot of work at the company, so you should stay there and help."
Li Yao wasn't about to back down. "Little Yin-yin, don't forget, I'm Su Meng's assistant, and Mengmeng is Su Meng's daughter.
Since Su Meng isn't here, it's only natural for me to take care of Mengmeng. You don't need to worry about it, outsider. Finish your meal and get going."
The two women were at an impasse.
Seeing them suddenly act like this, Jiang Ning was puzzled.
He was just a Nanny, so he didn't want to say anything and just quietly ate his meal.
An hour later.
Li Yao and Hong Yueyin were both holding their bellies, looking reproachful.
Hong Yueyin stroked her belly with one hand. "Ugh, it's terrible. I ate five times more than usual today, I couldn't help myself. This won't do, my figure is going to change."
Li Yao: "Me too, I'm stuffed. Mr. Jiang, are you sure you're just the 'Nanny' Mengmeng invited to take care of her?"
Hong Yueyin also looked at Jiang Ning. "Yeah, Mr. Jiang, were you a head chef in a five-star hotel before?"
"No, just out of personal interest, I figured it out myself," Jiang Ning could only bluff like that.
"Hehe, I said Uncle Jiang's cooking was delicious, and now Aunt Li and Aunt Hong, you believe it, right?" Mengmeng clapped her hands happily.
Li Yao and Hong Yueyin gave Mengmeng a look.
Hong Yueyin smiled and said, "Mengmeng, how about Aunt Hong stays here to play with you every day from now on?"
Mengmeng laughed happily, "Okay, okay. If Aunt Hong is here, I can be a patient, and Mengmeng can be a doctor to treat Aunt Hong."
Hong Yueyin: "..."
"Hahaha, Mengmeng, then Auntie Li will also stay here with Mengmeng every day. Auntie Li will be your nurse, okay?"
Mengmeng: "Okay, okay! Then Mengmeng won't be lonely."
Hong Yueyin: "Mengmeng, no, Auntie Li is also sick. This time, Auntie Li will be the patient, and Auntie Hong will be your nurse, okay?"
Li Yao: "..."
Jiang Ning, who was on the side, was dumbfounded, and then started to wash the dishes out of boredom.
