I'm the Culinary God-Chapter 812 - 354: Dundun: Just Finished Arranging Aunt, Now Here Comes Another Aunt—This Kitty Can’t Catch a Break!
"Easy to find, eel is also easy to find, I’ll take care of all of it... Oh, I can hardly wait for Brother Lin’s housewarming feast."
Just these few delicious dishes are enough to make one’s mouth water.
In addition to the restaurant’s Drunken Crab, Fish, and roast chicken, everyone else started drooling too.
Lin Xu finished the fish head in his bowl, picked up a piece of sweet and sour fish with his chopsticks, and fed it to Shen Baobao:
"How is it?"
"Sour and sweet, really delicious, but I’d still choose the crayfish."
"Need me to peel it for you?"
"No, no, I’ve already learned how!"
Hearing this, Lin Xu didn’t disturb the girl from eating crayfish any further; he got up to get himself a big bowl of rice and started eating with the dishes on the table.
Dai Jianli, while eating, went over to sit by Xie Yufei and Xie Yuhang:
"You two young lads, can Uncle Dai ask you a question?"
Xie Yuhang, mouth oily from eating, said:
"Sure, but if you ask us a question, we must also ask you a question, to make it fair."
"Alright!"
Old Dai swiftly peeled a shrimp and popped it into his mouth, asking a question he had long wanted to ask:
"Does Uncle Dai cook crayfish better, or is your dad’s cooking better?"
The two brothers exchanged a glance and said in unison:
"Uncle Dai’s cooking is better!"
Dai Jianli was overjoyed at once.
Haha, I can finally surpass Old Xie in cooking skills.
While he was feeling smug, Xie Yuhang said:
"Now it’s our turn to ask."
"Go ahead, ask away, Uncle Dai will answer anything truthfully and completely."
Xie Yuhang turned his eyes and then asked:
"Do you like dad or mom better?"
Xie Yufei followed by asking:
"If your parents divorced, who would you choose to live with?"
Dai Jianli: ????
This question... feels so familiar.
Isn’t this the kind of question relatives ask kids during the festivities?
Now that it’s being asked by kids in return, it’s just... weird.
While he was bewildered, Geng Lele also chimed in with a question:
"Is there any little girl in your class who likes you? How many marks did you score this year? Did you get any awards? What’s your rank in your class..."
For others, these childish questions would just be brushed off with a laugh.
But for old Dai, who loves a good laugh, it seemed interesting, and he said to Xie Yuhang:
"I like my dad better, because when they divorced, my dad was the one who took me, but he didn’t take me for long before heading to Hainan to speculate on real estate during the biggest bubble yet. He lost so much he couldn’t even afford a noose, the lenders were afraid he would commit suicide, so they counselled him daily. Later, my dad found coconut with chicken tasted really good, so..."
Xie Yufei listened as if hearing a story:
"And then he made a comeback with coconut chicken?"
"Then he went to Rong City to inherit my grandpa’s two hotels, paid off his debts, and safely became a chef without dabbling in fields he wasn’t good at."
Hmm, you wealthy people are really good at concocting stories, aren’t you? 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
Lin Xu, initially listening with ears perked up, curious about the history of coconut chicken, didn’t expect it to end like this.
The next morning, Lin Xu drove to the high-speed rail station with Shen Baobao.
"Wow, it’s so windy today."
Shen Baobao pulled the hood of her hoodie over her head, tucked her right hand into her sleeve, and with her left hand in Lin Xu’s coat pocket, they strolled into the high-speed rail station.
At the exit, they waited for over ten minutes and finally saw Lin Hongqi, Chen Meijuan, and Chen Yuanyuan pulling suitcases and carrying backpacks.
"Dad, Mom, Yuanyuan, over here, over here!"
After coming through the gate, Lin Xu took Chen Meijuan’s backpack and suitcase, and though Shen Baobao wanted to help Chen Yuanyuan with her suitcase, she was refused:
"How could I let my sister-in-law carry my bag? Even if someone’s to carry it, it should be my little brother."
At the parking lot, after loading the luggage into the trunk, Lin Hongqi sat in the passenger seat, while Chen Meijuan and the niece sat in the back.
Starting the car, Lin Hongqi said:
"The horse farm is about to start construction. Your second uncle is so busy that he’s hard to find. Now that the momentum is there, a high-end designer was specially hired to help design the horse farm, but whether it can be profitable is uncertain..."
He was a bit worried, fearing that if the horse farm business lost money, it would burden the in-laws.
Lin Xu said:
"As long as everything develops steadily, it’s not easy to lose money, so don’t worry about it. Just get the scenic area ready, is it starting to expand now?"
"Yes, on the other side of Dragon Head Peak, the gully is all ready to be converted into stepped boardwalks paired with rivers inside. It’s a bit like Yuntai Mountain, just smaller in scale."
"No problem, just develop slowly. After all, that gorge is quite long, if it doesn’t work, just develop further."
Father and son chatted sporadically.
And in the back seat, Shen Baobao and Chen Yuanyuan were chattering away.
"My cousin really wants to meet you."
"You mean that nearly thirty-year-old cousin eager to marry?"
"Yes, but it seems like she’s about to find someone. Yuanyuan, you need to hurry too."
"I still have a few years before I’m thirty, no rush."
Hmm, good thing Yan Sister didn’t come, or that would absolutely strike her down.
President Chen has everything good, money, a good figure, only her age is a hurdle, every time it’s mentioned, it causes her great discomfort.
Actually, everyone in the weight loss group is over twenty-five, Dou Wenjing and Chen Yan are both thirty, Zeng Xiaoqi is twenty-six, and Shu Yun is twenty-seven.
But others aren’t as sensitive to age, it’s only President Chen who’s consistently hit hard by mentions of age.
