Luofeng needed to use the bathroom, and Shangguan Shui'er and Shangguan Feier didn't need to show him the way. After all, in a suite of just a few dozen square meters, he spotted the bathroom right away.
Their family's bathroom still had the old-style squat toilet.
However, Luofeng remembered an expert once saying that squatting is much healthier than sitting. Squatting for half an hour a day is actually beneficial for the body.
Luofeng silently pondered; he vaguely guessed why Liu Shanshan had invited him for the meal.
Because right after he entered, he had already used the System to scan Liu Shanshan's basic information.
Liu Shanshan.
Age: Thirty-eight.
Height: 167cm.
Weight: 51kg.
Facial Attractiveness: 80 points.
Figure: 87 points.
Satisfaction: 70+9.
Purity: 79.
Morality: 80.
Physical Health: 90.
Special Note: Due to the character's status, Good Feeling Degree has been replaced by Satisfaction.
Upon their first meeting, Liu Shanshan's Satisfaction towards Luofeng was merely seventy points, but after he gave her a gift, it actually increased by nine points.
Satisfaction surely represents the recognition a senior has for a junior. If it were scanning a young person, it would have shown Good Feeling Degree.
It had to be said, this adjustment by the System was quite interesting.
Luofeng also knew that once her Satisfaction reached eighty points, there would be no issue with this marriage proposal. If he just asked, she would likely agree.
And if her Satisfaction reached ninety points? She would probably take the initiative to push the marriage forward, almost without him needing to say anything.
And if it were 100 points? Luofeng grew secretly curious. Would she be so determined as to jump off a building if necessary to force her daughter to marry him?
Aside from Satisfaction, Liu Shanshan's Morality was just eighty points, but her Purity was 79. Considering this, along with the Shangguan family's living conditions and Liu Shanshan's high facial attractiveness score of eighty points...
Luofeng guessed that Liu Shanshan must have endured many of life's hardships. Perhaps because she had suffered so much, her morality score was a bit lower.
But actually, eighty points was pretty good.
Actually, when she was younger, her facial attractiveness must have been ninety points, and her figure too. But because life had been too hard, her skin and figure weren't very well maintained now.
But for uncles in their forties and fifties, she was already the 'ultimate auntie' in their eyes.
Even many young girls out there didn't have eighty points for facial attractiveness or eighty-seven for figure.
After coming out of the bathroom, Luofeng saw Shangguan Shui'er and Shangguan Feier serving dishes.
"Need any help?" Luofeng asked.
"No need. You can sit down; it'll be ready soon!" Shangguan Shui'er said gently.
"Mm-hmm!" Luofeng sat on the couch. He first glanced at the grandmother, who was watching TV. Luofeng gave her a small smile, and she nodded back at him.
Luofeng started to check the international price of gold.
The price of gold had risen again, now at 392 yuan per gram.
Luofeng chuckled. This is a bit like: 'Xuande, you've traveled far and wide, tell us, who is a hero?'
Liu Bei, with his high emotional intelligence, couldn't directly say Cao Cao was the hero. That would be too sycophantic and hypocritical, not fitting Liu Bei's established persona. Yet, he still had to offer some sort of critique.
In other words, Luofeng couldn't be too flattering, but he also couldn't be brutally honest. He had to strike the right balance.
"This Yu Xiang Rou Si isn't quite right!" Luofeng commented directly, without even tasting it. "After all, I looked, and there's no fish in it. It must be fake, right?"
"HAHAHA!" Shangguan Feier burst out laughing. Shangguan Shui'er also pursed her lips in a smile.
Liu Shanshan naturally knew this was a running gag. Let alone foreigners, even many people in the country didn't actually know that Yu Xiang Rou Si contains no fish.
"Auntie, to be honest, compared to the absolute top-tier restaurants out there, there's a slight gap."
Luofeng began his critique, "But compared to average upscale restaurants, I think this is much tastier!"
If Luofeng were to mindlessly claim it was tastier than any upscale restaurant he'd ever eaten at, such a comment would instantly reveal him as being insincere, all honeyed words.
In interpersonal interactions, a mix of thirty percent falsehood and seventy percent truth was often just right. This approach would make the other party believe it all.
In reality, Auntie's cooking was only better than an average eatery. But that was already very good!
After all, there was a saying: don't pit your amateur skills against a professional's.
It was like a news story he'd seen not long ago: an amateur basketball player challenged Kobe to a one-on-one, acting very provocatively, only to get utterly crushed. With just a few fakes, Kobe made him look like a fool.
Even the weakest professional player could demolish an amateur, couldn't they?
Liu Shanshan was clearly very satisfied with Luofeng's response. "You're too kind. It's just average, really."
Hmm. As if Luofeng didn't know! This was a trap question. Otherwise, why on earth would she ask for a comparison with those upscale restaurants for no reason?
But, to be fair, some upscale restaurants really weren't as good as this. They just had an undeserved reputation!
