More than ten minutes passed, and all the other dishes were done, leaving only the big lobster.

Zhao Lixia called Su Zelin into the kitchen, but Granny Su didn't leave.

She wasn't reassured, felt she had to personally supervise, for fear Su Zelin might add too much salt or burn it, wasting a good lobster.

Liu Sufen went to sit in the living room, but Qin Shiqing didn't leave.

She was quite interested, wanting to see her childhood friend cooking for the first time, especially taking on the challenge of a big lobster.

"Why are you still here?"

Su Zelin gave her a glance.

"Why can't Shiqing be here?"

Zhao Lixia frowned.

"Of course she can't. This is a lobster secret recipe I learned with great difficulty, and it's not to be shared with outsiders, so she should…"

Before finishing the sentence, Zhao Lixia's knuckles landed on his forehead.

"Secret recipe, right? Outsider, right? Shiqing will stay here with me, we'll see just how grand your recipe really is!"

Granny Su grumbled, thinking this brat really lacks sense, daring to call Shiqing an outsider, this is purposely going against me!

"No, no, mother dear, I was just a bit bored and joking casually!"

Su Zelin quickly held his head in apology.

Qin Shiqing pursed her lips and laughed quietly, not minding at all.

"Honestly, it feels like I'm a supermarket coupon giveaway, and Qin Shiqing is the real child!"

Su Zelin muttered a few more words to himself before starting his work.

The knife flashed up and down, and soon the whole lobster was swiftly disassembled neatly.

Zhao Lixia and Qin Shiqing were amazed.

Just by his knife skills, he's got something!

Granny Su thought, if the son applied for medical clinical studies, he'd probably have talent, might not even need anesthesia, and the patient's belly would already be opened up before they felt any pain.

Su Zelin still chose the three-way lobster dish approach.

This is the most cost-effective; since there are many people, it's best to fully utilize the lobster, even the head and legs can't be wasted.

He skillfully extracted the lobster brain, beat eggs, seasoned, placed in the steamer, done in one go.

Lobster head and legs can't be used for porridge as it takes too long, plus mom already cooked enough rice, but it's simple, just switch to seafood soup.

He heated the pan with oil, added appropriate cooking oil, turned to medium heat, put in the lobster head and legs, fried until golden brown, took them out to serve for later use.

He then took out some sliced mushrooms from the fridge, threw them in the pan with the lobster head, added several bowls of water and some cooking wine, sugar, pepper, and other seasonings, boiled over high heat for ten minutes into a thick soup, added salt and served.

Finally, it was the lobster body; Su Zelin chose to stir-fry.

Despite knowing many cooking methods, the home had limited ingredients.

Though it was the simplest home cooking method, Su Zelin deliberately flaunted his skills, constantly tossing the pan while stir-frying, making the lobster pieces flip in the air.

He proved to mom his skills weren't just from a quick online glance.

With impressive operations like a pro, Zhao Lixia and Qin Shiqing watched with wide eyes.

Is this really someone cooking in the kitchen for the first time?

Especially Zhao Lixia felt a bit doubtful.

Cooking for twenty years, yet her skills couldn't match her son?

A steamed, boiled, and stir-fried three-course dish was served, regardless of taste, the presentation was indeed appealing, looking very appetizing.

"Zelin, is this really your first time cooking?"

Qin Shiqing echoed Zhao Lixia's inner question.

Could he have secretly practiced at home?

But both quickly dismissed this, as they didn't think Su Zelin would be so bored.

"Yes!"

Su Zelin nodded.

"Why do I feel you're very skilled, your techniques somewhat resemble a hotel chef!"

Qin Shiqing was puzzled.

Su Zelin feigned humility: "No choice, being a genius, if effort mattered, why would we need geniuses?"

"Alright, alright, we get it, you're amazing!"

Zhao Lixia felt a bit overwhelmed, but was still quite happy.

This culinary skill seems unbelievable from mere online browsing, right?

Looks like her son truly is a genius!

Besides studying, he's fast at learning anything!

No, even in studying, our Zelin is exceptionally gifted, otherwise how did he score full marks in English!

It's just that he's not interested in studying, or he could easily get into Qingbei!

Such a smart child, perhaps letting him dabble in stocks wouldn't be bad either.

It's not gambling, it's legal; it's supporting the country's market economy and enterprise development!

Zhao Lixia, at this moment, had essentially accepted Su Zelin's stock trading.

The three impressive dishes were served, shocking Su Jianjun, Qin Daqing, and Liu Sufen.

They initially thought Su Zelin was just messing around, never expecting he'd have skills.

"Wow, son, you've made this lobster quite presentable!"

Su Jianjun was quite surprised, his son really seemed to know what he was doing, even crafted a nice presentation, had a touch of that big restaurant vibe.

"Zelin, is this really your first time cooking?"

Liu Sufen was also in awe.

"Don't mention it, it really is. This brat just glanced at the recipe online, we older folks can't compare to the young ones."

Zhao Lixia sighed, but somewhat hinted at humblebragging.

The more excellent the son is, the prouder the mother naturally is, how could she be jealous.

"Haha, I can't wait to taste it!"

Qin Daqing also laughed.

"Come on, come on, Old Qin, Sufen, Shiqing, don't be polite, let's dig in!"
