Luo Chao stood up from his chair, pointing at Tang Tianyi angrily, "Miss Tang, if you don't want to eat, that's fine, but what do you mean by throwing the food on the floor?"

"Oh, young man, calm down. Tianyi has always been like this since she was young. Her brain structure is naturally different from ordinary people, she doesn't have emotional genes!" the old man Tang advised.

He held Luo Chao's hand, trying to get him to sit down.

Unexpectedly, this time, Luo Chao ungratefully flung away the old man's hand.

"Old man Tang, I'm upset because she doesn't respect food. This doesn't seem to have much to do with having emotional genes or not?!" Luo Chao said angrily.

Luo Chao has a heartfelt love for Huaxia cuisine.

Although the dishes cooked by the chefs in the Tang family cannot compare to world-class chefs like Boris and Kohei Kojiro, they are comparable to those in a five-star hotel, and calling them gourmet food is not excessive.

But for Tang Tianyi to blatantly waste food in front of a food lover like Luo Chao was something he could not tolerate.

"Uh... this..."

The old man Tang looked at Luo Chao's angry face and then at Tang Tianyi, whose expression hadn't changed, and for a moment, didn't know what to say.

"You say I don't respect food, that depends on how you define food." Tang Tianyi said while eating a small bowl of plain rice, without turning her head.

"Gourmet food is, of course, delicious food that brings happiness to people!" Luo Chao said, this time not even using chopsticks, grabbing a rib with his hand and chewing on it.

"But in my view, so-called gourmet food is merely a supply to replenish the energy consumed by the human body. One hundred grams of mantis shrimp contains 99 calories, while one hundred grams of rice contains 116 calories. No matter how you cook the mantis shrimp, it will provide only as much energy as it can, and it's not much nobler than rice." Tang Tianyi said coldly.

"Hmph!" Luo Chao snorted coldly. He was truly angry now, but since Tang Tianyi was a girl, Luo Chao wouldn't lose his demeanor by getting physical.

"Miss Tang, you keep talking about energy. So if I make a dish that's full of energy and tastes great, would you admit it's gourmet food?" Luo Chao said, squinting at Tang Tianyi's charming yet expressionless face.

Hearing this, Tang Tianyi finally put down her chopsticks, slowly turned her head, and her delicate lips moved as she said, "It also has to be healthy."

"What did you say?" Luo Chao scratched his head.

"If you can make a dish that is not only full of energy but also adheres to the principles of being green and healthy, then I will admit your dish is gourmet food." Tang Tianyi said, pausing on each word.

"Alright!" Luo Chao slapped his thigh.

...

In the landscape garden of Sea View Manor, Tang Tianyi and the old man Tang sat in a pavilion.

Not far away, under a big tree, there was a table full of cooking ingredients.

Luo Chao stood in front of the table, facing old man Tang and Tang Tianyi, with a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, "Miss Tang, whether a dish tastes good or not depends on one word!"

"Oh?" Tang Tianyi looked at Luo Chao with some curiosity.

Without answering, Luo Chao directly cracked several eggs into a large transparent bowl on the table, stirred them well, then added half a can of honey and mixed it together.

When the time was right, Luo Chao's eyes suddenly flashed brilliantly, and he quickly used chopsticks as a brush, dipping them into the egg and honey mixture to write a word in the air!

With his other hand, Luo Chao grabbed a handful of fresh flower petals and tossed them into the air!

The petals floated down, most of them sticking to the egg and honey mixture. The two substances bonded together and solidified in mid-air!

"This Rainbow Flower Candy is a dessert I present to you both!" Luo Chao said, wiping his hands.

"Ah? This... this is the character for 'heart'!"

Old man Tang, who usually liked practicing calligraphy, quickly noticed that the word Luo Chao wrote in the air with the egg-honey mixture was the character for "heart," boldly written in cursive script!

"Exactly, only when you put your heart into it can you make the best gourmet food!" Luo Chao took a step back and gestured a "please" to the two.

"What ingredients did you use for this dish?" Tang Tianyi suddenly asked.

Clearly, Tang Tianyi wasn't concerned about the appearance of the dish; she only cared about the ingredients.

Luo Chao's mouth curved into a smile, "The ingredients I used were eggs with 144 calories per hundred grams, honey with 321 calories per hundred grams, and the petals of eight fresh flowers: chrysanthemum, honeysuckle, jasmine, pear blossom, gardenia, rose, peony, and rose."

"The benefits of eggs and honey need not be mentioned, and according to traditional Chinese medicine, chrysanthemum helps the stomach and blood circulation, honeysuckle clears heat and detoxifies, nourishes the blood, and quenches thirst, jasmine promotes hair growth and nourishes the skin, pear blossom clears heat and dissolves phlegm, gardenia clears the lungs and cools the blood, rose promotes blood circulation and regulates qi, maintains beauty, peony promotes circulation in the blood, and rose can reduce swelling and treat sores."

"This Rainbow Flower Candy not only replenishes energy greatly but also takes care of human health. As for the taste... please enjoy!"

Luo Chao once again made a "please" gesture.

The two slowly approached the dish, old man Tang pulled a flower petal stuck to the "heart" word, and gently placed it into his mouth.

"Ah— so delicious!" old man Tang suddenly roared to the sky, then unashamedly picked up a spoon and started eating in big bites.

Seeing old man Tang act this way, Tang Tianyi couldn't help but frown slightly, took a small spoon, scooped some, and put it into her mouth.

"Mmm~" Tang Tianyi suddenly let out a coquettish sound, her face turning instantly red, even her small round glasses slid down a bit, strangely adding a touch of allure.

Then, as if addicted, Tang Tianyi continued to scoop bite after bite into her mouth.

By the time she finished, Tang Tianyi was covered in fragrant sweat, her cheeks flushed alluringly, her long legs trembling slightly, as if she might collapse at any moment.

"Ohh~"

Tang Tianyi quivered as she swallowed the last morsel, feeling as if she was ascending, her legs lost their strength, and she finally couldn't support her delicate body, falling.

Luckily, Luo Chao was standing by her side. The moment Tang Tianyi fell, Luo Chao stretched out a strong arm and caught her slender waist.

Luo Chao flashed a cunning smile, "Hey, Miss Tang, how do you find the taste of my dish?"
