Star Railway: The story of Kaffa being born with two babies at the start shocks her.

As Bai Lu spoke, her eyes crinkled into a smile, as if she were only pretending to look and actually wanted to eat it herself.

"Since you have such an interest, I would like to see what kind of delicious food you would like to make?"

"A dish of tofu."

"Tofu?"

Upon hearing this, Bailu and Tingyun exchanged glances, not quite understanding.

"Tofu dishes... are rather rare. The Shangziwei restaurant next door has a well-regarded Chen Po Tofu, and their tofu is of the best quality. If you would like to show off your skills, I can ask their chef to let me use their kitchen."

"Okay, let's go next door then."

"Wait! I haven't paid yet! Wait for me to pay!"

Bai Lu jumped off the chair, ran to the short auntie's side to pay the bill, and then followed the two of them towards Shang Ziwei next door.

"Oh, Miss Tingyun, what brings you here? It's been quite a while since I've seen you in my little shop."

As soon as we arrived at Shangziwei, an excited voice rang out.

"Oh dear, I'm always traveling and rarely have the chance to stay in Luofu. I've only been back for two days."

Tingyun smiled and then introduced Zhou Xingxing.

“My benefactor, this is Yan Cui, the head chef of Shang Ziwei.”

"Miss Tingyun, who is this...?"

When Yan Cui saw that Ting Yun actually called the man in front of her his benefactor, she couldn't help but stare wide-eyed at Zhou Xingxing.

"Hello, my name is Xing. I just helped Miss Tingyun a little bit by accident."

Stephen Chow waved his hand and said.

"I see. So Lady Bailu has also come. Would the three of you like to have dinner together?"

Yan Cui nodded and asked.

"No, we just had a smoked meat burger, but Miss Tingyun didn't have much of an appetite."

Bai Lu touched her belly and said.

"Sigh, Lady Bailu only knows how to favor the Meizhuan Pavilion next door, but never mentions coming to our Shangziwei to sit down."

"There's nothing we can do about it; Shangziwei doesn't sell smoked meat burgers."

"Although we don't have a smoked meat burger, we do have a visual meat burger. Would you like to try one, Lady Bailu?"

"Ugh! That sticky mess with eyeballs! Forget about it..."

Seeing that Bai Lu had no interest, Yan Cui sighed.

"Alright, if the three of you aren't here for dinner, then what are you here for?"

"Yan Cui, my benefactor says he would like to borrow the kitchen."

Tingyun smiled and said to Yan Cui.

"The kitchen? Borrowing it is fine, it's not lunchtime yet and there are no customers in the shop. But what do you need to make?"

Yan Cui raised an eyebrow; this was the first time she had ever heard of borrowing the kitchen.

"Just now during dinner, Miss Tingyun said she didn't have much of an appetite, so this young man said he wanted to cook a dish for her himself."

Bai Lu immediately spoke up from the side.

"Oh~?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Cui's voice trailed off, and she then secretly glanced at Zhou Xingxing.

He then nodded silently. Miss Tingyun has been single for so long, it seems it's finally time.

"Of course, no problem. But Miss Tingyun is very picky. She's never graced us with her presence at our famous restaurants more than a few times. Are you sure you're okay with it, young man?"

"Who cares, let's just get started."

"Haha, I like this vibe, then come with me."

Yan Cui chuckled twice, then led Zhou Xingxing into the kitchen, leaving Bai Lu and Ting Yun to wait outside.

"What kind of dish would you like to make, young man? I have all kinds of ingredients, and they are all top-quality."

Yan Cui arrived at the warehouse and pointed to the warehouse full of vegetables and meat.

"Just give me a piece of tofu."

Stephen Chow looked around but couldn't find the tofu.

"Tofu?"

Yan Cui asked in confusion, but didn't ask any further questions. She ran to a vat and took out a piece of tofu.

"My shop's signature dish is Chen Po Tofu, but I must tell you first, Miss Tingyun isn't particularly interested in it. If you're thinking of using tofu to attract Miss Tingyun, you're sorely mistaken."

Yan Cui said with a hint of concern.

"Perhaps it's not that I don't like the ingredients, but rather that I don't like the way they're cooked."

Stephen Chow smiled slightly, took the tofu, and headed to the kitchen.

"How to cook it? I've tried stir-frying, steaming, boiling, and deep-frying... what else could it be?"

Yan Cui couldn't understand, so she shook her head and followed Zhou Xingxing into the kitchen.

Zhou Xingxing unceremoniously poured a pot of oil into the pot, making Yan Cui's eyelids twitch.

"Young man, do you... need so much oil to make tofu?"

Yan Cui was a little confused by what she was seeing.

"Of course, since it's going to be blown up."

Stephen Chow gently placed the tofu, cut into small pieces, into the pot. As the oil sizzled, a lot of white bubbles rose to the surface.

Seeing this, Yan Cui stopped talking and wanted to see what kind of trouble this person could cause.

After a while, Zhou Xingxing took out pieces of tofu that had been fried until golden brown and set them aside for later use.

Then, in a separate pot, he added a bunch of sauces, spices, and rock sugar, followed by water and a lid...

Half an hour later, pieces of fried tofu were scooped out of the braising liquid and placed on a plate, emitting a rich aroma of braising.

"Hey, this tofu is fried first and then braised, and the result is pretty good. What's next?"

Upon seeing this, Yan Cui couldn't help but nod.

Although this dish seems simpler than any other dish in my restaurant, it is perfect in terms of color, aroma, and taste.

"It's ready."

Stephen Chow picked up the plate and said.

"All done? That's it?"

Yan Cui was surprised. Miss Tingyun didn't even like so many of her shop's signature dishes, but this simple tofu, which was first fried and then braised, was fine?

"Young man, you can't fool people when it comes to feelings. If this gets out, you and Miss Tingyun might have no chance..."

Seeing a love that had not yet fully blossomed about to wither before her eyes, Yan Cui couldn't help but offer her advice.

"Huh? I just made a dish because Miss Tingyun didn't have a good appetite. Don't overthink it."

Stephen Chow offered a somewhat speechless explanation.

Yan Cui shook her head, her face full of disbelief.

After all, this was the first time he had ever seen someone call Miss Tingyun his benefactor.

"Sigh, well, that's all I have to say. Cherish it..."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xingxing's face darkened. He dared not even think about it, otherwise he would be played to death by Huanlong without even knowing how.

As Bai Lu carried the fried tofu out the door, she saw him come out and immediately stood on a chair to look at the food on the plate.

Tingyun maintained her calm smile as she watched Zhou Xingxing place the dishes in front of her.

"My benefactor's dish is quite unique, quite different from the complicated dishes of the Immortal Boat."

Tingyun looked at the plate of fried tofu in front of her with a light smile.

"Though small, it has all the vital organs. Miss Tingyun, don't underestimate this plate of braised tofu. You'll only know once you've tasted it."

Seeing Zhou Xingxing's confident demeanor, Tingyun nodded slightly, then picked up her chopsticks, took a piece of fried tofu, and took a small bite.

Chew, chew—

Suddenly, a glint of light flashed in Tingyun's eyes, and its tail swayed a few times.

Chapter 122 Drink More Water

When Zhou Xingxing saw Tingyun's reaction, he was overjoyed.

Sure enough, foxes love fried tofu; the world of anime and manga is right.

"What did my benefactor just say this was? Braised tofu?"

Tingyun looked at Zhou Xingxing with a hint of curiosity and asked.

"Yes, it's a very simple dish, and it's easy to carry. It has a unique flavor whether eaten hot or cold, or paired with noodles."

Zhou Xingxing nodded and gave a brief introduction.

Tingyun nodded, took another bite of the fried tofu, her eyes crinkling with a smile, and covered her cheek as she chewed it slowly.

"Wow, is it really that delicious? It actually whetted Miss Tingyun's appetite!"

Bai Lu was greatly shocked. She had initially thought the dish was just a few golden pieces and was quite ordinary, but she never expected Ting Yun to react so strongly.

"I'll try it too!"

Bai Lu also picked up a piece and took a big bite.

"Hmm...it's pretty good, but it still can't compare to my smoked meat burger."

Bai Lu took a few more bites and then commented.

"That's a real pity. I'll make you a special dish sometime in the future."
