Scumbag God, I can see the entry of desire.

That night.

Zhou Mengyao’s birthday family dinner.

In the restaurant of Zhou's villa, a huge dining table is filled with various delicious dishes. Each dish exudes an enticing aroma, making people salivate.

Zhou Zhongdang sat on the dining chair, looking at the table full of delicious food, and exclaimed: "I can't believe that this table of delicious seafood feast is actually cooked by Alang!"

Zhuang Jingxue was also surprised: "Look at this dish!"

“Look at this presentation!”

“Look at this presentation!”

"Every dish looks like it was prepared by a Michelin-starred chef. They don't look like ordinary home-cooked meals at all!"

Zhou Zhongdang half-jokingly said: "A treasure appraiser who can't cook is not a good pianist!"

"Hehe..." Zhou Mengyao smiled sweetly.

Zhuang Jingxue couldn't help but praise him, "Alang, how many hidden skills do you have? Tell Master's Wife about them. Master's Wife is shocked by you again!"

Lin Lang personally brought a dish of [Baked Lobster in Soup] and placed it on the table. He smiled and said, “Master’s Wife, you are too kind!”

"The eight home-cooked side dishes that I personally cooked are now ready. The chefs at Zhou's residence are still cooking the remaining side dishes. Please enjoy them slowly, Master and Master's wife."

Before the birthday party started, Zhou Mengyao changed into a pink princess dress, which made her look charming and beautiful. Her bright and charming temperament was simply amazing.

In addition, Zhou Mengyao was wearing a golden birthday hat on her head, which gave her the illusion that a princess had come into reality. She was so beautiful that her whole body was sparkling.

Zhou Mengyao sniffed playfully, holding the chopsticks in her hand impatiently, and exclaimed: "Oh my God!"

"My dear, your cooking skills are simply amazing!"

"You even modestly said that you cooked a few home-cooked dishes. I think the chefs in five-star hotels can't cook as good-looking dishes as you do. You are really amazing!"

Lin Lang took off his apron and put it aside. After sitting down, he said lovingly, "Mengyao, try it quickly. This is the crab meat stew you've been dreaming about!"

Zhou Mengyao looked at her father Zhou Zhongdang and urged him, "Dad, hurry up and pick up your chopsticks! How can I pick up my chopsticks if you don't eat?"

The younger generation can only start eating after the elders pick up their chopsticks. This is the rule passed down from the older generation.

"Okay! Then I'll try this [Scallion-fried Sea Cucumber], one of the top ten famous Shandong dishes!"

Zhou Zhongdang added a scallion-fried sea cucumber. After chewing it gently, his eyes lit up and he exclaimed: "Wow... the fragrance of scallions can be smelled as soon as it enters the mouth, and the fresh and smooth taste of the sea cucumber, it is simply too delicious, right?!"

Zhuang Jingxue picked up a scallion-fried sea cucumber and exclaimed after tasting it: "Alang, the sea cucumber you stewed is bright red in color, with a mellow scallion aroma, and it tastes soft, fragrant, smooth and chewy in the mouth. This scallion-fried sea cucumber tastes absolutely wonderful!"

Lin Lang said modestly: "My cooking skills are poor, as long as Master and his wife like the food!"

Zhou Zhongdang praised him profusely, "Ah Lang, just talking about the dish of braised sea cucumber with scallions, you can beat all the famous chefs of Shandong cuisine in Changhai!"

Zhou Mengyao smiled and said, "Dad, you are really praising your apprentice without any hesitation. Can Lin Lang's amateur cooking skills be better than those of the famous Shandong chefs?"

"My father has eaten at all the delicious restaurants in Shandong. Because of the national treasure appraisal activities, my father has eaten at famous Shandong restaurants all over Shandong and has also eaten the scallion-fried sea cucumber cooked by Shandong chefs."

"Without comparison, there is no harm!"

"The scallion-fried sea cucumber cooked by Alang is definitely the most authentic traditional Shandong cuisine. It is unforgettable!"

While eating the Sichuan Mussels, Lin Lang replied, "Master, you love your disciple, and the dishes he cooks taste delicious!"

"Haha..." Zhou Zhongdang laughed loudly.

"I'll try it and I'll know if you're just praising your apprentice for nothing!" Zhou Mengyao picked up a scallion-fried sea cucumber, took a bite, and couldn't help but give a thumbs up with an exaggerated expression.

"Oh my goodness~ This scallion-fried sea cucumber tastes so delicious that it's hard to describe!"

"After you chew it gently, you will find the thick sauce wrapped around the chewy sea cucumber. The texture is smooth and tasty, and the rich layers of texture are amazing!"

After hearing this, Lin Lang smiled and said, "Mengyao, you don't have to be so exaggerated. Is it really that delicious?"

Zhou Mengyao smiled sweetly and said, "It's really delicious! Thank you for cooking for me personally for my birthday. I love you~"

Lin Lang raised his glass with a smile and said, "Mengyao, I'll drink juice instead of wine. Master and Master's wife, let's raise our glasses together to celebrate Mengyao's birthday!"

Zhuang Jingxue raised her red wine glass and said with a smile: "Alang, it's Mengyao's birthday today, don't you want to accompany your master and drink a little less?"

Lin Lang replied truthfully: "Master's Wife, after dinner I have to drive Mengyao out to play, so it's not convenient for me to drink."

Zhou Zhongdang raised his glass and said, "Okay, okay! Then let's use juice instead of wine!"

Zhou Mengyao laughed and said, "Since Lin Lang is going to take me out to play, I'll drink some juice too!"

"Cheers..." The family of four clinked their glasses.

"Happy birthday……"

Zhou Mengyao's birthday family dinner, the scene is warm and happy,

Then, Zhou Mengyao couldn't wait to pick up a piece of [Braised Crab Roe Lion Head] and exclaimed after tasting it: "Wow~ It's so fresh and fragrant, with a strong crab flavor, and the taste is tender and juicy. I feel so satisfied after taking a bite!"

"Mom and Dad, please try this intangible cultural heritage national banquet delicacy."

After tasting it, Zhuang Jingxue exclaimed: "Ah Lang's cooking skills are simply too good, right?"

“This crab meat lion head dish melts in your mouth, the meat is tender and plump, the texture is loose but not loose, yet it gives people a long aftertaste and satisfaction. It is really delicious!

After hearing this, Lin Lang smiled and said, "It's rare that Master's Wife and Mengyao like to eat it, if they like it, eat more!"

Zhou Zhongdang took a bite of the lion's head crab with the soup. The crab meat was fresh and fragrant, and the aroma spread in his mouth instantly. The smooth, refreshing, fatty but not greasy taste greatly satisfied Zhou Zhongdang's taste buds.

"Awesome!"

"It's incredible!"

After hearing this, Zhou Mengyao hurriedly asked, "Dad, what are you talking about?"

Zhou Zhongdang replied: "Of course it's Alang's cooking skills that are incredible!"

"My father has eaten this famous Huaiyang dish many times, always at famous Su cuisine restaurants. The crab meat lion head dish made by Alang is the most delicious, satisfying and invincible one he has ever eaten!"

Lin Lang smiled and said, "Master, luckily we are having a family dinner at Zhou's house. If you were to praise your apprentice like this in front of outsiders, they would definitely think it was too exaggerated."

Zhuang Jingxue tasted the stewed crab meat and commented with a smile: "The delicious soup is the essence. The fresh pork filling is paired with the fat crab paste and sweet crab meat. It tastes fresh and not greasy, and has a sweet aftertaste. It is really a taste that you can't forget after taking a bite!"

"Master's Wife, you all praised me so much that I feel embarrassed!"

The more Zhuang Jingxue looked at the junior Lin Lang, the more she liked him. She said kindly, "Ah Lang, Master's Wife has only tasted two of your dishes and I'm sure your cooking skills are better than those of the chef at Zhou's house."

"Master's wife, you are too kind! I only know a little bit about cooking, just a little bit!"

Zhou Zhongdang couldn't help but ask curiously, "Alang, your cooking skills are so profound. The eight seafood dishes on the table even span the eight major cuisines. Where did you learn to cook?"

Lin Lang naturally couldn't answer that, he had signed in to the system and obtained the maximum level of [Top Cooking Skills of Eight Major Cuisines] skill.

So, Lin Lang lied, "After my parents passed away unexpectedly, I worked part-time to support myself during my four years of college. While studying at the University of Finance and Economics, I worked part-time as a kitchen helper in various restaurants. As a result, I secretly learned the cooking skills of various cuisines."

"I see." Zhou Zhongdang felt a little sorry for his disciple after hearing this.

Zhuang Jingxue praised: "Alang is a child who has experienced hardships. He was born in a poor family. Not long after graduating from college, he was able to successfully start his own business and achieve his current success. It is really inspiring!"

Zhou Zhongdang laughed loudly and said, "My husband's treasured disciple is naturally a dragon among men, and is definitely not an ordinary person!"

Zhou Mengyao exclaimed: "Lin Lang, you are just working part-time to earn money for your studies, working part-time in the kitchens of various major hotels, and you have been able to secretly learn such top-notch cooking skills. You are truly a genius with extraordinary talent!"

Lin Lang smiled and used a serving chopstick to pick up a Longjing shrimp for Zhou Mengyao, dipped it in a little red vinegar, and said lovingly: "Mengyao, try it, how does this dish taste?"

Zhou Mengyao chewed the Longjing shrimp gently. After tasting it, she smiled sweetly and replied, "The Longjing tea is fragrant, the shrimp is fresh and chewy, and paired with the red vinegar dipping sauce, it's simply ridiculously delicious!"

Lin Lang smiled and said, "If it tastes good, eat more. Shrimp meat is low in calories and won't affect your figure!"

"Yeah!" Zhou Mengyao nodded obediently, her eyes full of love for Lin Lang.

Zhou Zhongdang and his wife saw their daughter Zhou Mengyao and his apprentice Lin Lang in a sweet love, and were very happy. They exchanged glances and couldn't help but smile knowingly at the same time.

After tasting the Anhui cuisine [Fish Biting Lamb], Zhou Zhongdang praised it: "The fish is fresh and the lamb is tender, not fishy or smelly, it tastes really wonderful and delicious!"

Lin Lang said with a smile: "Mutton warms the body and nourishes, while fish improves eyesight and nourishes, the two complement each other. This clear stew of fish and lamb is a medicinal food. Chinese medicine says that cooking fish and lamb together can nourish the five internal organs and benefit the spleen and stomach."

"If you like it, eat more!"

"I never thought that my treasure appraiser apprentice Zhou Zhongdang would be a top chef. Alang, you are truly talented!"

"Hehe..." Lin Lang smiled but said nothing.

Zhuang Jingxue tasted a spoonful of the soup of the braised fish and lamb, and commented: "Anhui cuisine pays attention to the cooking skills. Alang's braised fish and lamb has a mellow taste, and the delicious soup is endless aftertaste. You will never forget it after eating it once."

"Absolutely awesome!"

"Alang's cooking skills are amazing!"

"If you and Master keep praising me like this, I'll be flattered!"

"Haha..." Zhuang Jingxue and Zhou Zhongdang laughed in unison.

Suddenly, the lights in Zhou Zhong's villa restaurant went out.

"Uh...what's going on?" Zhou Mengyao was confused in the dark.

"Happy birthday to you!"

"Happy birthday to you……"

The servants of Zhou's residence were seen clapping and singing birthday songs, surrounding the maid Aunt Mei, pushing a double-layer mousse birthday cake with lit candles, and slowly walking into the restaurant of Zhou's villa.

It turned out that Lin Lang had instructed the servants of Zhou's house to create a surprise for Zhou Mengyao.

"Hehe..." Zhou Mengyao stuck out her tongue and smiled playfully.

Then, the beautiful and melodious sound of a violin suddenly rang out in the restaurant of Zhou's villa.

In the flickering light of the birthday candles, Zhou Mengyao was surprised to see that it was Lin Lang who was playing the violin. He looked at Zhou Mengyao affectionately and played "Happy Birthday" handsomely in the joyful and romantic style of Mozart.

"Wow~"

“What a surprise!”

"I never thought that my boyfriend, besides playing the piano, can also play the violin. He is so handsome!"

"I must be the happiest woman in the world, hehe..."

At this moment, Zhou Mengyao was as happy as a child, and there was a gleam of love in her eyes when she looked at Lin Lang.
