But what really tests a chef's skills is egg fried rice. The main ingredients are just two things: eggs and rice. How to make these two things shine differently is quite challenging.

Because egg fried rice is the most ordinary, it has evolved into various branches, such as those fried with Lao Gan Ma sauce, those fried with soy sauce, and the different tastes arise from the different ratios and heat control of the eggs and rice.

After all the dishes were served, only the four dishes Ling Zhenfei ordered were not yet brought up.

Everyone was eating and drinking, but their minds were on the four dishes Ling Zhenfei ordered, and they were also worried for Bai Lin and Xue Fei.

Because these four dishes were specially ordered by Ling Zhenfei, the preparation time was relatively longer.

After a long while, Bai Lin and Xue Fei personally brought up the four dishes and placed them on the table.

"Master, we have finished cooking."

Ling Zhenfei nodded, "Then let everyone have a taste."

Everyone turned the table and tasted the last four dishes.

"Not bad, especially this vegetable salad, it's very unique."

"The marinated beef is quite flavorful, not bad, the egg fried rice is very good, I could eat a big bowl."

Everyone started to share their opinions, and after everyone had finished speaking, Ling Zhenfei also picked up his chopsticks to try these four dishes.

Ling Zhenfei, true to his reputation, knew the issues with each of the four dishes after tasting just one bite of each.

The vegetable salad had no technical content, using Xishan Manor's vegetables with salad dressing, just that simple, but precisely because it was too simple, it was just average with no innovation.

The shredded potatoes were quite good, although Bai Lin didn't often cook this dish, his basic skills in cooking were still there, and with Xishan Manor's potatoes, the taste was pretty good.

The steak tasted like it was hand-marinated by Bai Lin and Xue Fei, and because of the limited time, they made lots of holes in the steak to let the marinade soak in.

Since they had no experience with steaks, they overcooked it, turning it from medium-well to nearly well-done.

The most outstanding was still the egg fried rice, basically following the Yangzhou fried rice style, with ham and carrots added, and the egg-to-rice ratio was well done, achieving about four or five grains of rice per egg flake.

This ratio is the most perfect, making the eating experience delightful, egg within the rice, rice within the egg, making one want to eat more.

Everyone was watching Ling Zhenfei's actions, wanting to know what he would say after eating.

"How was it, Master?" Bai Lin couldn't help but ask.

Ling Zhenfei did not comment but said, "You should know in your heart whether you put in the effort while cooking."

"Of course I put in the effort, it's just that I was a bit unsure, and the number of times I've cooked is slightly few."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Alright, you two go clean up the kitchen first, I'll come to find you after we finish eating."

Bai Lin and Xue Fei left with some trepidation to clean up the kitchen.

"You're still playing games. I think Bai Lin's cooking is quite good," Zhou Yun said beside Ling Zhenfei.

"I know, Sister-in-law, don't interfere, I have my own plan."

Everyone started eating, and because there were quite a few people, it was very lively. Everyone drank a lot, and Ling Zhenfei noticed that Zhou Yun's face was all red.

Yang Zixuan had a pretty good relationship with Zhou Yun, and the two of them drank red wine, but after drinking more, it showed on their faces.

Especially since Yang Zixuan didn't usually drink wine much, she ended up drunk before the gathering was over.

"Zhenfei, Zi Xuan drank too much, take her back," Zhou Yun instructed Ling Zhenfei.

Ling Zhenfei had no choice but to carry Yang Zixuan back to the staff dormitory.

After placing Yang Zixuan on the bed, Ling Zhenfei turned to leave, but Yang Zixuan suddenly grabbed his hand.

Ling Zhenfei was stunned and quickly turned back to see Yang Zixuan lying on the bed, looking at him and smiling.

"You weren't really drunk, you were just pretending?"

Yang Zixuan laughed, "I wouldn't get drunk that easily, but I did feel a bit dizzy. I was afraid your sister-in-law would drink me into unconsciousness."

"You're saying my sister-in-law deliberately tried to get you drunk?" Ling Zhenfei asked, incredulous.

"Yes, she's been trying to get me drunk all night, and she's been guiding me."

Ling Zhenfei was stunned, "Guiding you?"

Yang Zixuan sat on the bed leaning against the wall, "Yes, your sister-in-law kept reminding me that you already have a girlfriend and that I should stay away from you."

Ling Zhenfei laughed after hearing this. Zhou Yun had always considered He Lingxiu as his girlfriend, going to great lengths for her indeed.

Yang Zixuan suddenly thought of something and asked, "By the way, Big Brother Ling, when Zhou Yun mentioned your girlfriend, did she mean He Lingxiu or herself?"

Ling Zhenfei's face darkened, "Zi Xuan, what are you saying? Zhou Yun is my sister-in-law."

Zi Xuan laughed, "Big Brother Ling, I don't believe Sister Zhou Yun only sees you as a brother-in-law. You're just lying to yourself."

Ling Zhenfei was taken aback, with a storm of thoughts swirling in his mind. He wondered if it was really that obvious, even enough for Yang Zixuan, who hadn't been at the manor for long, to see it.

"Stop guessing wildly, go to sleep, the others haven't dispersed yet." Saying this, Ling Zhenfei tried to leave, but Yang Zixuan didn't want to let go of his hand.

"Big Brother Ling, why are you in such a hurry to leave? Can't you stay with me for a while?" Yang Zixuan said with a hint of wistfulness.

"Alright, what do you want to say? I can't stay too long. If I don't go back after such a long time, who knows what they'll think."

Yang Zixuan laughed, "I knew you wouldn't leave me. I have something to ask you, and you must tell the truth."

"Just say what it is."

Yang Zixuan hesitated a little, "Did you really tell Bai Ling that if you ever wanted to get married, you'd marry her?"

Ling Zhenfei was taken aback and hurriedly said, "How could Bai Ling make things up like that? What I said was, if I ever think of getting married, I'd consider her first. I didn't say I would definitely marry her."

Yang Zixuan laughed, "So that's the story. Well, that's good, that's good. I'm fine now, goodnight, Big Brother Ling."

Ling Zhenfei was stunned, Yang Zixuan's attitude changed too quickly.

"So, you're kicking me out just like that?"

Yang Zixuan playfully said, "What do you think? Do you want to stay here tonight? I don't mind, as long as you want to marry me."

Ling Zhenfei was helpless, surprised that even Yang Zixuan could joke around so easily, making his heart itch.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm leaving."

Ling Zhenfei walked out and closed the door, heading back to the dining room where they were eating.
