[Love and Producer] Passive strategy

"But even though I don't know how to cook, I can still follow the recipes on Baidu." Li Youxue stated solemnly. "Speaking of which, Meituan is indeed an invention that has changed people's lives."

Thinking of her experience of eating out almost every day during the one month since she came to this world, the system felt so complicated that she didn't want to speak: […]

……

After turning on the range hood, Li Youxue carefully read the detailed recipes on the phone screen, frowning seriously.

【You should light the fire first, make sure there is no water in the pot before adding oil, and then bring the oil to a boil. ] The system can't stand her wasting time - Xu Moke is still sitting in the living room.

"I don't need prompts." Li Youxue gave the system commands succinctly, and followed its instructions neatly in her hand, lit the gas, and began to pour oil.

Under the high-temperature grilling, the oil began to emit a trace of heat.

"... Next, pour in peppercorns, minced garlic and shredded chili peppers, saute until fragrant..." While recalling the recipe in her mind, Li Youxue turned her head to search on the wooden table.

After a few seconds of silence.

Li Youxue had no expression on her face. She picked up the wooden table in one go and poured it into the pot.

The sound of "sizzling" oil blossoms instantly covered the entire kitchen, and soon the burnt aroma of garlic emerged.

"Is this considered sautéing?" Li Youxue had her left hand on her hip, and her right hand was shaking the wooden shovel impatiently.

[...Actually, you don't have to trouble yourself so much...] The system held back for a long time, and began to persuade it tactfully.

"Oh," Li Youxue sneered. "Didn't Xu Mo want to celebrate? I will celebrate for him with my own hands. I don't know if it will be a surprise or not."

[…] The system is worried from the bottom of its heart for Xu Mo who is about to suffer.

"But it's really a waste of time." Li Youxue thought about it and became even more unhappy. "just can not……"

The sliding door of the kitchen was suddenly pulled open.

Xu Mo appeared at the door, his dark purple eyes sparkled with laughter, and asked her softly, "Do you need my help?"

Li Youxue looked back at him and pointed at him with a wooden shovel: "Don't bother me, go watch TV."

Xu Mo blinked, and raised his eyebrows with a half-smile: "But I think you need my help."

"You think it's wrong." Li Youxue told him solemnly. "Be obedient, go back, be good."

Xu Mo's expression froze for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses, smiled slightly, and left with a certain expression of understanding.

[Xu Mo's favorability +28! 】

"I think I really don't understand what the male protagonist is thinking now." Li Youxue said to herself, picked up the colander with shredded potatoes...to be exact, potato chips, and poured it all in.

The sudden explosion of oily flowers and violent noise made her take a step back unconsciously, and waited for the scorching breath to dissipate before raising the wooden spatula to stir fry again.

……

It took Li Youxue more than 40 minutes to cook this meal, during which Xu Mo asked twice if he wanted to help, but was mercilessly called back.

"Xu Mo, come serve the food." Opening the sliding door, Li Youxue whistled at Xu Mo. "With me, there is no reason not to work for nothing."

Xu Mo smiled "poof", stood up and walked towards the kitchen.

The two of them came to the dining table in the restaurant with their plates one after the other. Li Youxue put down the plate and went to serve the rice while Xu Mo arranged the chopsticks neatly.

"It looks good." Xu Mo took a closer look at the dishes and said softly.

"...Is he blind?" Li Youxue asked the system sincerely.

Of course, the system was aware of Li Youxue's terrifying skill - she made two dishes and one soup, one hot and sour potato shreds and one twice-cooked pork. The soup was the common seaweed and egg soup.

But the horror is here, the hot and sour potato shreds... No, the potato sticks make it difficult to determine whether they are cooked or not, but they are already brown. Twice-cooked pork looks normal, but the system that saw the cooking process with my own eyes can hardly imagine it. Taste, as for seaweed and egg soup—it has nothing to do with cooking skills at all, it is made with instant seasoning packets bought in the supermarket and soaked in boiling water.

In short, the complex system decided not to speak.

Li Youxue laughed inwardly, picked up a chopstick of shredded potatoes, put them in Xu Mo's bowl, and smiled innocently at him: "Try it, is it salty or light? I'll improve it next time."

Xu Mo tasted it unpreparedly, and then he froze suddenly.

"...a bit salty." Xu Mo murmured in a daze.But he came back to his senses in a blink of an eye, and there were bits and pieces of light in his eyes. "I like it, though."

Li Youxue observed his expression and couldn't help but wonder if he was serious.With such a mood, she hesitated and put a potato stick into her mouth.

The taste blooming on the tip of her tongue at this moment made her doubt her taste buds: the potatoes seemed to be undercooked, and when she poured the soy sauce, she shook her hands too much, causing the potatoes to be crispy and burst with starch slurry, as if they had not been marinated pickle……

Xu Mo didn't say a word, and silently ate another mouthful of twice-cooked pork. This time, his expression became more complicated.

Li Youxue took a little to taste, and immediately put her hand on her forehead, "So I didn't misunderstand, I really don't have much talent in this area."

——Obviously following the recipe meticulously, twice-cooked pork can still make such a salty and greasy taste, no one else.

"No," Xu Mo answered her words and patted her on the head with a smile. "You did a great job, I'll eat them seriously."

Li Youxue took a deep breath, gritted her teeth and swallowed the meat in her mouth, and sincerely sighed to the system: "I didn't realize that Xu Mo's mouth is so heavy, mustard milk tea soy sauce kimchi and oily twice-cooked pork..."

[... You should stop talking. 】The system's heart is also blocked.

Feeling a little guilty, Li Youxue explained to Xu Mo: "It's a raw job, it's not very good...how about you drink some soup."

"Because you made something, I don't feel bad at all." Xu Mo whispered, holding the back of her head and brushing her soft black hair, as if to comfort her with this action.

Li Youxue was startled, and raised her eyes slightly seriously to look at him.

Xu Mo stared at her without blinking, his deep purple eyes were dim against the light of the restaurant: "You always surprise me, but you are so sincere...I am very happy."

[Xu Mo's favorability +12! 】

"...As long as you're happy." Li Youxue replied dryly.

The following night seemed ordinary. Sitting at the dining table, Xu Mo really finished his meal seriously - he ate all the dishes made by Li Youxue.

Li Youxue couldn't help but start to feel thankful that she did less cooking... It would be bad if headlines like "Professor of Brain Science Died Suddenly at Home from Food Poisoning" appeared on the Lianyu TV news tomorrow morning.

"I'm very happy to eat the food you cooked." Xu Mo put down his chopsticks with a slight smile. "Does this mean that you and I are getting closer?"

Li Youxue looked at him intently.

The white gold crystal chandelier above their heads made Xu Mo's already fair face almost pale.

"Well, if you want to think about it that way." She answered casually with something on her mind.

After sending Xu Mo out, Li Youxue sat back on the sofa again, lowering her eyes slightly, quietly.

——She recalled the old days, when her father always cooked for her... Even if the company got bigger and her father became busy, and there was a special chef at home, her father would still cook for her once a week with his own hands.

"Sure enough," she smiled and said to herself. "I still have to step up the strategy."

[Now the favorability of the four male protagonists has reached LEVEL-8, if you want to continue the process, you must choose one of them. 】The system seized this opportunity and revealed the key points. 【Which one do you like better? 】

"Li Zeyan ruled it out." Li Youxue looked at the glass of the balcony door beside her expressionlessly.

——Her face was reflected on the glass, fair and delicate, and the whole face seemed to be numb.

【……Why? ] The system was surprised and confused.

"If I'm not mistaken, the important choice you mentioned last night was to decide whether to choose Li Zeyan." Li Youxue revealed the truth calmly. "It's quite obvious, you can guess it by guessing."

[But, why can't it be Li Zeyan? ] After the shock, the system was completely confused. 【He treats you very well and cares about you...】

"Li Zeyan is too simple," Li Youxue closed her eyes and explained calmly. "It was because he was kind to me and cared about me that I gave up the strategy. Otherwise, wouldn't it be too unfair to him."

Unable to refute her statement for a while, the system fell silent.

After being speechless for a while, the system tried to ease the atmosphere: [So, next, are you going to...]

"Well, the method of elimination, let's rule out all the things that I don't think should be cheated." Li Youxue smiled slightly, affirming the system's guess.

[…] The system was silent for a long time. [Really, a good idea. 】

Li Youxue stopped talking to the system, but looked thoughtfully at the tightly closed door.

——There are too many doubts about Xu Mo.For example, his extremely calm reaction when eating... Those dishes would be scary even if she ate them by herself.

……

In the next few days, Chinese-American film and television became popular—since the gourmet variety show named "The Dictator of the Food Empire" was launched, it became very popular all over the Internet.Incidentally, the company as the producer has also become popular.

Although Anna suggested that the Chinese American company is now a company with a net worth of [-] million and it belongs to Huarui, so it should take this opportunity to make it bigger and better, but Li Youxue believes that the well-made plan should not be changed... So the entire production team They are all busy making the next episode of Love Language Food Show, this time the target is a pastry shop in Jiuxi Ancient Street.

Li Youxue got annoyed in reviewing documents in the office, so she simply applied to Anna, took her camera and ran to the ancient street alone to collect materials.

While tasting small snacks from door to door in several dim sum shops on the ancient street, Li Youxue heard the phone in her bag ringing desperately - as if she was afraid she couldn't hear.

Holding the crystal osmanthus cake in her mouth, Li Youxue took out her phone with difficulty, swipe the screen to connect, and turned on the hands-free.

"What are you busy with?" Bai Qi's unique voice came out through the loudspeaker.
