Reborn at 90, taking space to counterattack and become rich

Xia Chutang looked at the table of dishes she had made, with a confident smile on her lips.

In her previous life, she could only cook instant noodles.

But because she had to provide for Lin Rui and please him, Xia Chutang, a high school dropout, had no choice but to keep working.

With no merit, she finally found a job as a restaurant waiter.

By chance, I went to help in the kitchen and started learning cooking.

After her rebirth, the skill of cooking really helped her a lot.

Tuk Tuk - Knocking on the kitchen door.

Cheng Jiaxuan wanted to ask how long Xia Chutang would need, but as soon as the door opened, he was attracted by the dishes on the kitchen counter.

Mushrooms and cabbage, steamed sea bass, braised pork ribs, stir-fried shrimps...

Each dish is beautifully presented and brightly colored.

Not to mention how tempting the aroma of this dish is, just one look at the dish will make you feel appetizing.

"How's it going? Is it okay?" Xia Chutang was a little proud.

"That's great! How do you know how to cook?"

Still doing so well!

Cheng Jiaxuan's eyes were full of surprise, and he was a little excited when he looked at the arrogant girl with her arms folded.

"I thought you were just talking..."

He is prepared to taste "weird" meals, such as dishes that stick to the bottom of the pot, or dishes that sell salt to death.

Unexpectedly, Xia Chutang gave him such a big surprise.

"Okay, has your grandpa finished his work? You can ask the old man to have dinner with you."

Xia Chutang commanded: "Shall we serve the dishes?"

Cheng Jiaxuan and Xia Chutang brought the seven dishes to the table together.

Then I heard Mr. Cheng's hearty voice: "It smells so good, Jiaxuan, your deskmate is amazing."

Turning around and seeing grandpa coming out of the study, Cheng Jiaxuan took the initiative to introduce: "Grandpa, this is the deskmate I told you, Xia Chutang. Tangtang, this is my grandpa."

"Hello, Grandpa Cheng." Xia Chutang bowed politely and said hello.

Mr. Cheng quickly looked at the little girl, nodded and said with a smile: "Tangtang, thank you for your hard work. When you come to our house, we should treat you to dinner, but today I have guests at home, so I'm going to treat you casually."

Hearing this, Xia Chutang immediately realized that Mr. Cheng might be inviting guests out for dinner today.

And there must be a nanny in this home.

Otherwise, there won’t be as many fresh ingredients readily available in the refrigerator.

Because the guests were visiting, Mr. Cheng decided to go out temporarily, so the nanny did not come.

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Mr. Cheng continue to smile and ask: "Tangtang, can my guest and I have a meal together?"

"Grandpa, don't be polite to me. This meal was originally made for you." Xia Chutang answered obediently.

Mr. Cheng's guests don't know what the taste is like. Will they dislike her food?

"Okay, okay! Then I'm welcome!"

After Mr. Cheng finished speaking, he heard the study door open behind him and turned around to introduce: "Chengyuan, come on, come on, come and take a look at the food cooked by Jiaxuan's deskmate."

Chengyuan? ! The smile at the corner of Xia Chutang's mouth was a little stiff.

It couldn't be the Chengyuan she knew.

Mr. Cheng turned sideways, and the man wearing a well-tailored black suit revealed his true appearance.

"Summer Sugar——"

Lu Chengyuan put one hand in his pocket and raised the other to say hello.

It was obvious that the man was smiling, but Xia Chutang felt nervous.

"Doctor Lu."

"Hey, do you know each other?"

Before Mr. Cheng could introduce himself, the two of them said hello.

Lu Chengyuan had a slight smile on his lips: "Yes. We..."

"Sit down and eat quickly, shall we? The food might get cold."

Xia Chutang interrupted what the man was about to say.

If she didn't interrupt, wouldn't her meal today be in vain?

"Yes, yes, let's eat."

Mr. Cheng greeted: "Chengyuan, sit down quickly."

Cheng Jiaxuan wanted to sit next to Xia Chutang, but as soon as he pulled out the chair, Lu Chengyuan sat down first.

"Jiaxuan, thank you." Lu Chengyuan was very polite.

"No...you're welcome."

Cheng Jiaxuan planned to ask Xia Chutang to sit across from him. Just as he opened his mouth to say something, Lu Chengyuan patted the chair next to him and said with a smile: "Tangtang, sit here."

"Uh." Xia Chutang sat down obediently.

There were two people sitting on one side of the rectangular dining table. Cheng Jiaxuan had no reason to sit on the same side anymore, so he had to go to the opposite side and sit down.

Although we didn't sit side by side, it felt good to be face to face.

"Grandpa Cheng, try this. Is this food to your liking?" Xia Chutang took the initiative to ease the embarrassment.

By the way, she ignored the meaningful look of the man next to her staring at her.

Mr. Cheng picked up his chopsticks and picked out a piece of fish. His eyes became a little brighter as soon as he took the food.

"Fresh! I've been in Xihai for so many years, and this is the first time I've eaten such delicious fish." Mr. Cheng praised it repeatedly.

The West Sea is mainly rich in beef and mutton, with very few aquatic products. It is unusual for ordinary people to eat seafood.

Even outside restaurants, in order to cater to local tastes and consumption levels, there are basically no seafood restaurants.

Mr. Cheng's nanny is a native of Xihai and is not very good at cooking fish and shrimp dishes.

In all the years he has been in Xihai, this is the first time that Mr. Cheng has eaten fish that suits his appetite.

"This tofu soup is also good! Oh, why is this cabbage heart so delicious..." Mr. Cheng praised after eating a dish.

Cheng Jiaxuan looked at the girl opposite and his expression became more and more gentle.

The meal was finished amidst Mr. Cheng's praises.

"I ate too much tonight!"

Mr. Cheng ate two bowls of rice for the first time, "My blood sugar will explode tomorrow!"

Lu Chengyuan said, "If you go out for a walk, you can feel better."

"Okay, okay! I'm going to go for a walk right away."

Mr. Cheng stood up and said, "By the way, little girl, how are you going to go back later? Let Jiaxuan see you off?"

"I……"

"Professor Cheng, I will go back with her. We will live together." Lu Chengyuan answered.

Cheng Jiaxuan's eyes widened, and Mr. Cheng's mouth turned into an "O".

"Doctor Lu and I are neighbors!"

Xia Chutang quickly explained: "We can go back together."

"Neighbor!"

Mr. Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and smiled angrily: "Chengyuan, when did you become so careless in your words? I was shocked and thought you were kidnapping a little girl."

Lu Chengyuan lowered his eyes and smiled lightly: "Now the little girls are all human beings, I can't abduct them."

"Tangtang, thank you for your hard work today."

Cheng Jiaxuan wanted to give the girl away, but it wasn't his turn.

His eyes were filled with reluctance.

"The food you cook is so delicious."

Xia Chutang said with a smile: "As long as you like it. Well, as promised, don't get angry with me in the future."

"Yes. As promised, I won't be angry." Cheng Jiaxuan nodded seriously.

"Goodbye then."

"Goodbye."

Watching the girl gradually go away, the joy in Cheng Jiaxuan's heart was covered by a touch of melancholy.

"You brat, what are you looking at? Everyone is gone!"

Mr. Cheng stood nearby for a long time and couldn't help but pat his grandson on the shoulder.

"Grandpa, does Lu Chengyuan have a girlfriend?" Cheng Jiaxuan asked suddenly.

Mr. Cheng was startled and shook his head: "That guy is also a nerd. I haven't heard that he has a girlfriend. What's wrong?"

"It's okay, just ask." Cheng Jiaxuan shook his head.

I don’t have a girlfriend...

No, it would be more troublesome.

"Xia Chutang, don't you have anything to say?"

Lu Chengyuan walked for a while and finally couldn't help but say: "I like cooking very much? Huh? You can cook it for anyone, right?"
