“Guess so,” Lyke Zhekova smiled.
Seeing Lyke Zhekova speaking so fluently and even able to ruthlessly mock Clifford Wells, Peggy assumed he should be sober now.
“You should get some rest early then, you drank so much tonight, you’re definitely going to feel bad tomorrow,” Peggy Lewis reminded him.
“Don’t forget there’s a meeting at noon.”
Tomorrow is the day for both parents to meet, so they have to stay in good shape.
Thinking about this, Peggy Lewis felt particularly weird.
How did they suddenly get to the stage of meeting each other’s parents?
...
The speed was so fast that she couldn’t quite keep up.
This reminded Lyke Zhekova, making him take it seriously: “Then I’ll go to bed to rest up.
I can’t give our parents a bad impression.”
Peggy Lewis: “….”
Lyke Zhekova got up and walked two steps, then stopped and said to Peggy Lewis, “I’m now fairly sober, better go take a bath.
I love to be clean.”
Peggy Lewis: “….”It’s weird that you emphasized the last sentence.
“You should also get to bed early.
Good night,” Lyke Zhekova said.
“I should be heading back too,” Peggy Lewis also got up, coming to the bedroom doorway with Lyke Zhekova.
They each said good night at the door before going back to their respective rooms.
Lyke Zhekova did want to be affectionate with Peggy Lewis.
But tonight’s situation wouldn’t allow it.
Having drank too much, even though he had sobered up a bit, the smell of alcohol on his body didn’t create the best impression.
So, Lyke Zhekova had to abandon the thought.
He honestly said good night to Peggy Lewis and returned to shower and sleep.
The next day, Lyke Zhekova indeed had a hangover.
The hangover relief candy and honey he ate last night did help a bit.
For breakfast, Peggy Lewis prepared bone soup for him, and from the refrigerator took out some pre-marinated dishes, ready to eat at any time.
Lyke Zhekova’s stomach wasn’t great, so Peggy Lewis refrained from making spicy soup for him.
Although drinking spicy soup does help with hangovers.
But, among the marinated dishes, there were some mildly spicy cucumber strips, which could also help stimulate the appetite.
Otherwise, after a hangover, he would feel full and wouldn’t have any sense of hunger.
Peggy Lewis also ordered dumplings for delivery.
Her cooking skills were currently only at a beginner’s level.
Cooking soup was already pretty good.
She could also handle preparing the marinated dishes easily.
Stir-frying a few simple dishes wasn’t a challenge as well.
But if it came to more complicated dishes, especially like dumplings, she wasn’t that good at it.
She needed to learn with Cindy Clarke about how to handle the taste ratio of dumpling fillings, and how to deal with dumpling skin.
If not because of work, Peggy Lewis would love to go study culinary arts at the Pingla Academy with Lyke Zhekova.
But this idea didn’t stay long, she quickly dismissed it.
Even if she didn’t need to work, with her basic skills, she wouldn’t make it in Pingla Academy.
The chefs there all had a $O04strong foundation, they were all master chefs.
Peggy Lewis considered signing up for a cooking hobby class.
But besides work, her remaining rest time was all occupied by Lyke Zhekova.
Lyke Zhekova thought she spent too little time with him, how could she allow her to go learn to cook?
Moreover, Lyke Zhekova was still working hard on his culinary skills, vowing to handle all three meals a day in the future and not let Peggy lift a finger.
He couldn’t agree for Peggy Lewis to join any cooking class, it’s too hard work.
So, Peggy Lewis put down the idea.
When she couldn’t handle it herself, she had to resort to takeout.
Luckily, the bone soup was fragrant and rich, with a natural sweet taste.
The small dishes were crisp and refreshing.
The dumplings that Peggy ordered weren’t the common kind, but the ones made with leavened dough.
They were just like regular buns, but much smaller.
The bun skin was fluffy and soft, some parts were soaked in the filling’s soup, revealing the color of the filling, making it even more delicious and appetizing.
“I ordered ones with eggplant braised pork filling and mushroom rapeseed filling,” Peggy Lewis said, “One meat and one vegetable, mixed together they don’t get too greasy.
Also, given your poor appetite from the hangover, had to order the eggplant pork to stimulate your appetite.”
“This shop just happened to be a popular bun shop.” Peggy Lewis was surprised, she didn’t expect it to be within the delivery range.
They usually had their meals delivered from Majestic’s restaurant and rarely ordered takeout, so Peggy Lewis didn’t know what takeout restaurants were nearby.
Who knew that when they ordered takeout that morning, a search on the takeout app showed this shop.
Peggy Lewis, though she hadn’t eaten there, had heard about its reputation.
Without saying much more, Peggy Lewis ate one of the eggplant pork buns while it was still hot.
As the juice from the eggplant pork seeped out of the bun, holding it got her fingers all oily.
Even before she took a bite, the rich aroma of pork sauce wafted up.
When Peggy Lewis took a bite, she saw the inside, caramel-colored filling of eggplant and pork bits.
Because it had been marinated in sauce, it was all one color, and it was hard to tell the eggplant from the meat at a glance.
You could only get a feel for it when you chewed on it.
The eggplant was steamed to be soft and smooth, melt in the mouth.
The pork was fatty, and the lean meat had clear grain.

Biting down on the fatty meat made it burst with juices, which the eggplant absorbed.
What a delicious mix.
Despite Lyke Zhekova’s loss of appetite due to the hangover, he was still enticed by the food.
After finishing the eggplant pork one, Lyke Zhekova ate a mushroom rapeseed one to cleanse his palate.
After the richness of the eggplant and pork, the mushroom rapeseed seemed incredibly fresh.
Combined with a bite of the mildly spicy, crisp cucumber strips, it perfectly suited his taste.
“It’s a shame there’s no congee,” said Peggy Lewis with regret.
Lyke Zhekova nodded, “That’s what I was thinking too.”
“I was worried you’d have no appetite, so I switched to bone soup.
If I had known your appetite would be this good, I’d have used the bone soup to make congee,” Peggy Lewis said with a laugh.
The thought of that made Lyke Zhekova a little weak.
There was still plenty of time, they were only meeting at Sheng Yue at noon.
We started to make his own dish.
Lyke Zhekova decisively picked up the soup and said, “I’ll make the congee.”
“Now?” Peggy Lewis was astonished.
Lyke Zhekova nodded: “Rinsing the rice will be quick, and it should take half an hour to cook the porridge.
It might not be as soft and smooth, but it should be fine.”
Seeing him sounding so knowledgeable, Peggy Lewis was surprised, “When did you learn all this?”
Peggy Lewis remembered that everything Lyke Zhekova learnt before were all extremely simple.
Even boiling a pot of noodles was a high-level task for him.
“I have asked Gu Xian,” Lyke Zhekova said with a smile, “I have always wanted to make it for you.
Who knew I’d be hungover today and wake up later than you.”
