In the end, he had dragged himself into the mess too.
"I've already notified the kitchen staff. Washing and chopping vegetables, preparing the meal and all that—we'll be able to eat in two hours."
The parents' faces immediately fell.
Wouldn't they starve to death in two hours?
More importantly, Lu Xiyao's family of three had already started eating.
"Um, ahem... Yao Yao's Dad, do you think there's any room for improvement with the mashed potatoes we made? We don't ask for much, as long as they're edible!"
Zhong Shuyi's Dad had long since been starving. His spendthrift wife could shop, buy things, and visit beauty salons, but if she cooked, she could turn the kitchen upside down.
She had watched Douyin and tried learning the simplest mashed potatoes, yet still managed to mess them up. He had no choice but to ask Lu Qin for help.
The aroma of Stir-fried Tomato and Eggs had practically knocked him senseless, making him even hungrier!
Even green peppers could taste this good—it was like a whole new world had opened up!
"Sorry, I've never made mashed potatoes, so I can't give you any useful advice."
Lu Qin shook his head and answered honestly.
Zhong Shuyi's Dad pushed the plate in front of his wife. "Wife, you'll have to finish this yourself."
"Are you kidding? I'm not eating it."
Even Zhong Shuyi's Mom despised it. The brown, strip-like mashed potatoes looked like poop from a constipated puppy. Who could possibly eat that?
Zhong Shuyi had already abandoned her parents and gone over to Lu Xiyao's table.
"Shuyi, do you want some~?"
As her good friend, Lu Xiyao asked. She could see that Zhong Shuyi was practically drooling.
"Mhm, mhm, mhm!"
Zhong Shuyi nodded frantically.
"Dad, can Shuyi eat with us too~?"
"Of course."
