Radiant Peach Blossom Fate

Chapter 11: Leaning on the Female Landlord

Seeing that Dong Qingqing's expression had changed, Lu Chen was quite smug: "Well? Not bad, right?"

Dong Qingqing said indifferently, "It just looks good. It may not taste good."

However, once she picked up her chopsticks, she couldn't put them down.

After finishing this meal, Dong Qingqing was truly hesitant. Actually, her plan just now was to let this young man cook a meal. Then, regardless of whether it tasted good or not, she would say it didn't taste good and then ask him to leave. He should give up then, right?

Unexpectedly, what he cooked was so delicious that it made her addicted.

Moreover, it felt like what she was eating wasn't just food but life itself.

As for Lu Chen, he was still immersed in the wonderful feeling of cooking just now. It was simply an incredible phenomenon.

The moment he picked up the kitchen knife and the potato, the energy that had been stirring restlessly inside his body suddenly surged and filled his whole body and mind.

In this situation, Lu Chen seemed to have divine help. Whether it was cutting vegetables or frying them, he felt completely immersed, just like when he was sitting quietly practicing internal martial arts and reached a high level in the past. His whole body felt a harmonious tingling sensation.

After all the dishes were cooked, Lu Chen wasn't tired at all. Instead, he felt refreshed and energetic, as if he had just finished practicing martial arts, full of strength and in high spirits.

At this moment, while Dong Qingqing was eating, Lu Chen was still talking about what he would cook for her in the future. Things that could supplement nutrition, promote stomach absorption, warm and nourish the body, reduce internal heat...

These were all common knowledge found on the Internet, and anyone could list a few. But when they were said by Lu Chen who had just shown off his excellent cooking skills, they were especially convincing. With his vivid and emotional way of speaking, he was just like an expert!

This really moved Dong Qingqing's heart. Due to her work, she often had irregular meals. The food in the staff cafeteria wasn't good, and eating outside wasn't safe. So, that's why she required that the tenant could cook so that she could benefit from it.

Undoubtedly, except for being a male, Lu Chen was quite suitable in other aspects.

"Well? Are you going to take me in?" Lu Chen asked.

Dong Qingqing was hesitant.

"I got it." Lu Chen put his hands on his cheeks, propped his elbows on the table, and looked at Dong Qingqing with a smile: "I can see from your eyes that you're going to keep me. Okay, which room will I live in? Just tell me."

Dong Qingqing couldn't help but laugh and cry: "Who said I'm going to keep you?"

Lu Chen chuckled. He stood up, walked to the door of a room, and pointed inside: "This one?"

Dong Qingqing said angrily, "That's where my son stays when he comes."

"You have a son!" Lu Chen was slightly stunned. He didn't ask more and pointed to the room next to it: "Then it must be this one. The last room should be yours."

Dong Qingqing went from being unable to laugh or cry to being angry and then to being helpless now: "Yes, that's the one."

"Yeah!"

Lu Chen made a victory gesture and then said happily, "Landlady sister, since you've decided to take me in, that's great. Now let's talk about the rent. Personally, I think 550 yuan is a bit too expensive. We should be able to negotiate it down a bit, right? I won't ask for a big reduction. Just give me a small discount. Look at how delicious my cooking is. I'll cook for you every day in the future..."

The more Dong Qingqing listened, the more she couldn't help but laugh and cry. This young man was really pushing his luck!

However, she actually didn't really care about this rent. Five or six hundred yuan was only about one-tenth of her salary. It was just a little supplement, better than nothing.

So, she really gave Lu Chen a small discount and took off the fifty yuan, making it five hundred yuan.

"Two months' deposit and one month's rent in advance, thank you!" Dong Qingqing finally spread out her hands.

Lu Chen had a bitter look on his face: "Sister Qingqing, I only have a little over eight hundred yuan on me. Can I just pay one month's deposit and no rent in advance for now? I'm looking for a job. When I find a job and get paid, I'll give you all my salary for the first month as the deposit!"

Dong Qingqing almost drove Lu Chen out, but seeing his pitiful face and thinking about his cooking skills again, she finally held back and somewhat resigned herself to it.

The problem of accommodation was finally solved. Next came the job search.

Actually, with the first supernatural ability that Lu Chen had awakened now, which was the skill of cooking delicious meals, it wasn't too difficult for him to find a job. However, just because he cooked so deliciously that the boss wanted him, but the other chefs couldn't tolerate him and seriously ostracized him, so he had to leave.

"Life is so difficult. Why do they have to undermine me!" Lu Chen sighed deeply.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and he was still looking for a job.

On this day, he finally managed to find a job in the Chinese food department of a four-star hotel. But as a result, because he bravely instructed the head chef on how to cook the dishes better and even complained that the head chef didn't put his heart into cooking, he was almost thrown out.
