Chapter 13 Exotic Steak

"Are you still a little confused? Are you so happy to move into your new home?"

Jingjie smiled and reached out to grab Lingyun, but he dodged her with a slight sidestep.

"Wait for me!"

Ling Yun rubbed his temples, feeling a little dizzy: "Let me think about it some more."

He spun around twice, then slowly sat down in a corner of the sofa, resting his hands on his knees.

Jingjie didn't stand on ceremony and sat down next to him, leaning forward slightly.

"Since you've already signed the contract, I'll just tell you the truth: this house is mine. My real estate business hasn't been doing well lately, and I'm under a lot of pressure from my mortgage, so I wanted to find someone to share the burden."

She paused, then turned her head to look at Ling Yun:

"We've known each other for a long time, what are you going to do to me?!"

Ling Yun opened the contract with some skepticism, and looked at it under the light. Sure enough, in the "Party A" section, Ning Jing's name was written in black and white.

"I……"

Ling Yun opened his mouth, utterly speechless.

Was I tricked by her?

"I'm going to file a complaint against your workplace!"

"I'm the store manager. Tell me what you need."

Ning Jing patted her chest, looking completely at ease.

"Then...then I need to call your headquarters. You're a subordinate unit, right?"

Lingyun is working on the contract.

"Hey! We signed a private contract, directly between the landlord and tenant. I didn't ask you for a handling fee, did I? It has nothing to do with the company!"

Ning Jing stretched out her index finger and pointed back and forth between Ling Yun and herself.

I go!

She thought about it so comprehensively.

Ling Yun's eyes widened, and he froze on the spot.

Ning Jing directly took Ling Yun's hand and gently pulled him to her side:

"Feel this... this sofa is made of top-grain cowhide. Where can you find furniture like this when you rent a place?"

She paused, her tone softening:

"Didn't you just see it?"

"Everything here is new, we've signed the contract, and everything's done. It's all good news, so what's there to worry about?"

"We'll talk about it later!"

As she spoke, Ning Jing stood up and twirled in front of him, her figure graceful.

"Sharing an apartment with me is better than sharing with a guy. I'm only two or three years older than you, and I know this neighborhood like the back of my hand. If you need anything, I can help you out."

"I'm usually so busy with work, I don't bother you, what's wrong with that?"

Ling Yun pondered it carefully.

If it's a blind rental.

Being matched with someone like Ning Jing is definitely not a loss for me.

just.

He murmured, his voice so low it was as if he were talking to himself:

"That makes sense, but it just feels a bit strange."

"Alright, that's enough. A real man shouldn't be so coy."

Ning Jing reached out and untied her hair tie, letting her long hair fall down. She shook it gently, the strands shimmering softly under the light.

"I'm exhausted from walking all day. I'm going upstairs to shower and rest. If you'd like to stay, I'll throw you a housewarming party tomorrow. If you don't want to stay, I can't get your deposit back."

After saying that, Ning Jing ignored Ling Yun and turned to walk upstairs, her slippers making a soft clattering sound on the stairs.

Ling Yun couldn't come up with a solution until her figure disappeared around the corner.

According to her, there's no way to pursue this matter further; if they move out, the two months' deposit of five thousand will be lost.

How about... we stay here for a while and see?

Ding Ding Ding!

The sudden ringing of the telephone shattered the silence, interrupting Ling Yun's thoughts.

He pressed the answer button, and Li Yi's gruff voice came from the other end:

"Hey bro, where are you? I've brought you some meat from the night market."

The meat has arrived?

Upon hearing this word, Ling Yun shuddered and sprang up from the sofa.

The meat has arrived.

This means his divine cuisine is finally coming.

He shouted into the phone, "Brother, there's a tiger-head food truck parked in the parking lot next to the night market. Go there first, I'll be right there."

After saying that, he quickly grabbed his coat and rushed out like a gust of wind.

Next to the tiger-head food truck.

A small picnic refrigerator was placed next to Li Yi, who was waiting for him with his hands in his pockets.

"Brother Li, why did you come in person so late?"

Lingyun jogged forward and took the small refrigerator with a smile.

"The meat was already thawed on the way here. Hurry up and make me some to try. If it's really good, I have a big surprise for you!"

Li patted his shoulder hard, with considerable force.

"Alright!"

Ling Yun didn't ask any more questions, but his eyes were already shining.

He opened the door of the tiger-head food truck, turned on the light switch, and carefully took out the piece of beef from the small refrigerator.

This is a top-grade A5 Wagyu beef.

The pink flesh is covered with fine, snowflake-like marble patterns, which gleam with a soft sheen under the light.

Lingyun weighed it on an electronic scale and neatly sliced ​​it into three pieces:

Two pieces weigh 300 grams, one piece weighs 100 grams.

The more perfect the ingredients, the simpler the cooking process should be.

He pulled out a paper towel and gently pressed it onto the meat to absorb the remaining moisture, then sprinkled it with glistening sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to marinate.

After doing all that, he immediately opened fire.

As soon as faint white smoke began to rise from the hot plate, Ling Yun decisively placed the 100-gram steak into the pan.

A5 grade steak doesn't need any extra oil; it can be cooked using only its own fat, and medium-rare is sufficient.

Fry each side for several tens of seconds, the edges quickly curl up, a brownish-red crust gradually forms, and the juices are locked inside.

Fry on both sides.

Lingyun moved the steak to the hot plate to preheat it, then scooped up a piece of golden butter and gently slid it into the edge of the steak, allowing it to slowly melt and soak into the beef.

In no more than five minutes, he had already shoveled the beef into the iron plate and let it sit.

This allows the juices that have been released at high temperatures to be reabsorbed by the steak, bringing the flavor to its optimal state.

at the same time.

He poured the prepared sauce into a corner of the hot plate and heated it.

As the temperature rose, a rich, complex aroma exploded out, carrying the milky scent of butter, the crispness of vanilla, and a faint hint of brandy, immediately catching Li's eye.

His eyes suddenly lit up, revealing an expectant look. He involuntarily stood up from his chair, leaning slightly forward.

"This is definitely different from the previous level!"

Li Yi muttered to himself, his hands unconsciously twisting together in front of him, his eyes fixed on the steak on the hot plate.

"Water it!"

Ling Yun tilted his wrist and poured the heated sauce evenly over the steak.

The still-warm oil, stimulated by the scalding hot sauce, seemed to breathe, trembling slightly right under Ling Yun's nose.

Immediately afterwards, part of the sauce miraculously disappeared.

The beef... the steak is breathing!

It...it ate all that sauce?

What's going on?

Ling Yun gasped inwardly, his pupils dilating slightly.

He had never seen anything like this before.

Exotic Steak (Divine-level)

The rating labels were particularly short this time, but they stunned Ling Yun, leaving him frozen in place until the aroma of the sauce wafted through the air, bringing him back to his senses.

Ling Yun picked up his knife and fork, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down.

Although it has a minus sign, it is truly a divine dish.

There should be some differences.

As you gently press the fork against the steak, amber-colored juices immediately seep out from between the grains, with a perfectly springy texture.

This is the best example of how tender beef is.

The knife began to cut vertically, with almost no resistance, like cutting a piece of slightly solidified butter.

He cut off a small piece, raised his hand, and put it in his mouth.

wow——

Lingyun seemed to hear the sound of waves crashing on the shore, layer upon layer, distant and lingering.

Then, in a moment of surprise, the beaches of the American East Coast appeared before my eyes:

Everywhere you look, people are sunbathing. The scorching sun, the salty sea breeze, and the languid yet warm atmosphere create a captivating scene.

The scene changes.

The mysterious ancient ballads echoed in my ears once more.

The ruins of the Mayan site flashed before my eyes, surrounded by azure sea and sky, swaying coconut palms, filled with tranquility and beauty, as if time had slowed down here.

The next second, the valley and stone bridge came into view.

In the distance, the castle's spires are shrouded in mist, and the golden vineyards stretch all the way to the horizon.

The air was filled with the scent of hay and late-blooming flowers.

The rich, creamy sauce, infused with the mellow flavor of mushrooms, melts on the tongue like being kissed by clouds, leaving a lingering, romantic aftertaste.

Ling Yun suddenly opened his eyes, his pupils still showing shock.

Almost instinctively, he quickly put the entire steak into his mouth, savoring each bite. Each bite of steak unfolded new layers on his tongue, leaving a lingering aftertaste.

No wonder it has an exotic feel.

This presents stunning images of three countries all at once.

Ling Yun glanced at the detailed recipe on the system menu, and after careful verification, he discovered two important differences from his previous operation.

Modify according to the system recipe.

He can do better!

Come again!

Ling Yun took out a 300-gram steak, his eyes burning with fury.
