“Never forget your original intention…”
“Never forget your original intention!!!”
The middle-aged man, with tears falling as he swallowed, slowly walked away carrying his bowl.
Lin Xiao was completely stunned…
But the truly speechless event was just beginning.
Rumble~~
Everyone present could no longer sit still; after all, the middle-aged man’s eating broadcast just now had almost made them drool with envy.
All the merchants stood up and, following this mouth-watering aroma, gathered in front of Lin Xiao.
Before long.
A long queue had formed in front of the bamboo bucket.
“Please serve me a bowl!!”
“Hey, hey, hey?? Queue up, queue up! No matter how high your status is, how can you do something like cutting in line!!”
“I was here first. Give me this bowl first.”
…
Lin Xiao was thoroughly speechless.
This was clearly a gathering of wealthy tycoons, but why did it feel like a school cafeteria now??
Why were they even lining up…
The main thing was everyone’s impatient look, which strongly resembled the scene of students afraid that the cafeteria would close if they went too late.
“It’s finally my turn…”
“Please add a little more for me.”
“Can I have two bowls?”
“Step aside, if you ask for two bowls, what about all of us waiting behind you??”
The big shots could be described as swallowing their saliva with every word they spoke.
The wealthy merchants at the very end of the line were truly in a miserable state.
Five bowls.
Ten bowls.
Forty bowls.
Fifty bowls…
It was finally completely served!!
Everyone in the entire dining hall was eating joyfully.
What did it matter if there were no other dishes??
Just devouring it was enough!!
Lin Xiao was sweating profusely.
When he turned his head, he noticed it.
A stunningly beautiful young woman was standing right beside him, close at hand.
The Tianquan, Ningguang.
It was this wealthy lady!!
At this moment, she actually looked like a little girl.
Her beautiful eyes flowed as she gazed at the delicious food before her.
From time to time, she would purse her red lips; she clearly wanted to have a big meal but had to restrain herself.
To think that such a mature, high-ranking wealthy lady could reveal an expression like this.
It could be said that only a guy like Lin Xiao would be able to see Ningguang with this kind of expression.
Wasn’t Ganyu exactly the same back then?
This time, Lin Xiao had even added some killer ingredients, making the lethality of the aroma even fiercer!
Ningguang had been busy the whole morning and had only eaten a piece of millet crispy rice.
With such an enticing aroma right in front of her, it was truly unbearable!!
“It’s okay, there’s still some left,”
Ningguang looked at Lin Xiao in a daze.
This little expression~
Who would have thought that the word ‘cute’ could be used to describe this mature lady?
This gap moe struck straight to the heart.
“Don’t worry, this portion is yours.”
Lin Xiao handed the scallion oil fried rice to Ningguang.
This little slip of the tongue.
He seemed to have spoken a bit too casually.
After all, Ningguang had acted too much like a child just now, making him almost forget that the person before him was the Tianquan of the Liyue Qixing…
However.
Ningguang could not hide her impatience; she truly acted like a child as she took the fried rice Lin Xiao handed her.
“Mmm, thank you.”
Looking around, Ningguang finally found an empty seat.
Taking small steps, she hurriedly sat down.
She couldn’t wait to scoop up a spoonful~
“Mmm~~~”
“This taste… is simply too magical.”
One bite, two bites.
Three bites, four bites.
Ningguang simply couldn’t stop!!!
In the entire venue, apart from the sound of spoons scooping the fried rice and the noises of everyone chewing, there was not a single other sound.
Everyone simply couldn’t bother to chat; in their eyes, there was only the delicious food.
This scene truly gave a chef an immense sense of accomplishment.
Looking at the usually gentle and mature lady beside him, who was now enjoying his cooking as if she were a friend, the sense of accomplishment grew even greater!!
…
It didn’t take long.
The bowls of everyone were completely empty.
This feeling of wanting more was something they truly hadn’t experienced in a long time.
They wished they could have another two bowls.
“I’ve gained enlightenment!!”
“This is just like my business path; I can’t expect to become fat with just one bite. I have to take it step by step, gradually.”
..
“The quantity of goods is actually unimportant; what ultimately matters is being able to retain the customers’ hearts. Even when there is a shortage in the supply of goods, the customers will still keep it in mind.”
..
“I see through it… I see through it!!”
“A simple dish of fried rice actually let me taste the myriad flavors of life: eagerness, attainment, cherishing, loss, and unforgettable memories.”
Lin Xiao: ????
..
“Mom…”
“The last time I tasted my mom’s cooking, it was this unforgettable.”
You, thinking of your mom, are going a bit overboard!!!
And right at this moment.
Ningguang also seemed to have realized something.
Looking at her completely empty plate, she crossed her arms over her chest.
A new term inexplicably popped out of her mouth.
“The principle of hunger marketing.”
“Mmm, I’ll have to study this carefully when I get back. This has taught me a lesson too…”
Lin Xiao looked at Ningguang, who was muttering to herself not far away.
His fundamental intention had been to bluff, so how did it inexplicably change its flavor by now???
Baishi.
She placed her completely clean spoon into her bowl.
Her eyes were filled with gratitude; even now, she hadn’t figured out whether Lin Xiao had thought of the countermeasure on the spot, or if it was supposed to be in the script all along.
…
[“Scallion Oil Fried Rice” received positive reviews +57]
[Total obtained: 60 positive reviews]
[Unlocked the mastery of the second dish!]
Lin Xiao’s pupils shrank.
Finally…
He had unlocked a new dish!!!
[Dish]:
[Wensi Tofu Soup]
[This dish has a long history, featuring fine knife skills, and a soft, tender, and refreshing taste that melts in the mouth.
At the same time, it has the effects of treating malnutrition, tonifying deficiency, and nourishing the body] [Su Cuisine]
[Knife skill requirement: Seven stars]
[Ingredient requirement: Four stars]
[Complexity of process: Five stars]
[Total difficulty index: Six stars]
“The knife skill requirement for Wensi Tofu Soup is actually only seven stars!!”
Lin Xiao was shocked.
Sure enough, his understanding of Chinese cuisine was still insufficient.
For a dish that tested knife skills to such an extent, the requirement was only seven stars.
Slicing tofu into threads!!
How can seven stars be justified??
