Amazing Knife Skills
Su Binglan was stunned by Luo Jin’an’s words. She wanted Luo Jin’an to help her, but when she thought of his condition and how her predecessor abused him, she decided against troubling him.
“There’s no need. Please go sit down and get some rest. My mother and I can handle the cooking.” Su Binglan lowered her head and peeled the sweet potatoes when she spoke.
At that moment, Su Binglan didn’t notice the change in Luo Jin’an’s expression. Luo Jin’an didn’t stay idle either. He went to the haystack outside to get firewood and came back, ready to help start the fire at the stove.
Su Binglan looked at Luo Jin’an’s figure and felt he had a noble and elegant temperament, even though he was doing regular tasks. Luo Jin’an had a kind of otherworldly aura.
Asking Luo Jin’an to do such a task would make one feel guilty. It was as if Luo Jin’an should never do such a task.
Su Binglan said, “You haven’t recovered yet, so please go and rest. I’ll start the fire later.”
Luo Jin’an said softly, “Do not worry, Madam Su.” He gave Su Binglan a profound look as he spoke, one that would see through one’s hearts.
Su Binglan felt as if Luo Jin’an had seen through her. She blinked, her eyelashes fluttered, and she averted her gaze. She had a feeling that Luo Jin’an had discovered something about her.
‘Does he know my secret?’
At this moment, Su Fengmao walked in and said, “I’ll light the fire.”
Su Fengmao felt it was a good thing his daughter could dote on others. The Su family was honest and could get along with each other.
They didn’t treat Luo Jin’an as an outsider but as their family member. The Su family thought it was only right to be considerate of each other.
Luo Jin’an said softly, “Please, get some rest, Father-in-law. I’ll light the fire.”
Seeing that Luo Jin’an wanted to help, Su Binglan said, “Why don’t you help me wash the vegetables?”
“Okay,” Luo Jin’an replied briefly.
With a clear division of labor, the family started to get busy. Su Binglan started to cut the vegetables and cook while Shen Qiuhua washed the peeled potatoes and gave them to Su Binglan.
There was no shredder for making the shredded sweet potatoes, so Su Binglan placed the sweet potatoes on the board and cut them with a knife.
The sweet potatoes needed to be thin enough to taste good in the sweet potato pancakes.
Chop, chop, chop…
Cutting sounds echoed throughout the kitchen as the others watched Su Binglan in shock. Her knife skills were terrific. She cut the sweet potatoes quickly, but they were almost as thin as a piece of paper.
Everyone present had never seen such impressive knife skills before. Shen Qiuhua and Su Fengmao watched their daughter and forgot what they were doing. Luo Jin’an also looked at Su Binglan.
Su Binglan focused on cutting the sweet potatoes when she felt like something was wrong. She looked up and met Luo Jin’an hypnotic gaze.
There was a captivating and devouring power in that gaze. Su Binglan’s heart couldn’t help but beat frantically.
“W-Why are you looking at me like that?” Su Binglan was stunned.
‘Is there something on my face?’
Then Su Binglan recalled one of her predecessor’s memories and discovered that Luo Jin’an had never looked at her predecessor before. However, he looked at her multiple times that day.
Did Luo Jin’an see something in Su Binglan? She was different from her predecessor and wouldn’t pretend to be someone else.
Luo Jin’an whispered, “I never expected you to possess such excellent knife skills, Madam Su.”
