“Don’t rush, don’t rush~ There’s enough for everyone!”
“There’s still plenty of broth left.”
Lin Xiao truly hadn’t expected the enthusiasm of Liyue’s citizens for good food to be this exaggerated.
It was already one in the morning, yet the deepest alley in Chihu Rock was bustling with extraordinary excitement!!
As some customers left, new ones immediately took their place.
In just one hour, Lin Xiao had sold over a hundred bowls of Wensi Tofu Soup.
What kind of concept was this??
Not only that, many customers felt that a single portion wasn’t enough to satisfy their cravings and even ordered a second bowl.
“Oh my!! You really can never get tired of drinking this.”
“You can say that again! Normally, soups are easy to get tired of, but this Wensi Tofu Soup is just so incredibly fresh and delicious, without a hint of greasiness.”
“I can hardly wait for tomorrow. I definitely have to empty my stomach so I can drink several bowls.”
“Boss Lin! Will you still have this Wensi Tofu Soup tomorrow? Business was so good tonight, you’ve already gone through a whole clay pot of broth. Don’t tell us you’re out!”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at Lin Xiao with worried expressions.
The young man laughed heartily.
“Don’t worry, there’s another large clay pot ready for tomorrow!!”
“There will be plenty!!”
Phew~~
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but then Lin Xiao continued, “However, my Lin’s Huaxia Cuisine will gradually introduce other dishes. It would be a real pity if everyone only stuck to the Wensi Tofu Soup.”
Oh??
These words instantly piqued everyone’s curiosity.
They all started asking what exactly this ‘Huaxia Cuisine’ was, eager to learn more about it.
“Boss Lin, tell us more about Huaxia Cuisine!!”
“Where exactly is Huaxia? We’ve never heard of these dishes before.”
All the master chefs present quickly perked up their ears, afraid to miss a single detail.
Little Xiangling, holding her third bowl of Wensi Tofu Soup, slurped the tofu threads while looking up at Lin Xiao.
” To tell you the truth, my arrival in this world was quite an accident, as Huaxia does not belong to the continent of Teyvat.
”
Ah!!!
The citizens were stunned.
No wonder they had never heard the term ‘Huaxia Cuisine’.
It turned out that Boss Lin, just like Lumine, was a traveler from another world.
” Huaxia is an ancient nation that shares some similarities with Liyue in its customs and folklore.
That is also why I was willing to settle down in Liyue.
”
Everyone nodded repeatedly.
So that was how it was!
“Boss Lin, Liyue welcomes you!!”
“That’s right! It’s our honor that you’ve let us taste the most authentic cuisine from your homeland.”
Lin Xiao smiled knowingly and continued, ” If you were to calculate it…
My Huaxia Cuisine likely has a history spanning over five thousand years.
”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone’s jaws dropped… The source of this chapter is novelping.com.
Their faces were filled with utter disbelief…
Because even Li Cuisine only had a history of three thousand years!!
Huaxia Cuisine actually had over five thousand years of history!!!
Hiss~~
Everyone collectively gasped in shock.
The master chefs were completely floored.
Lin Xiao didn’t look like he was joking at all!!
” Because of this, Huaxia Cuisine encompasses a vast array of culinary styles.
If you gathered all the recipes in Huaxia…
even the Jade Chamber might not be big enough to hold them all.
It’s truly a dazzling variety!!
”
Heavens…
As citizens of a culinary nation where food was considered the paramount necessity of the people, the people of Liyue, upon hearing Lin Xiao’s introduction, immediately felt a sense of longing for Huaxia.
Recipes that couldn’t even fit in the Jade Chamber?
That was too exaggerated!!
” My personal abilities are limited, but I will do everything in my power to ensure that Huaxia Cuisine secures a place for itself on the Teyvat continent.
And I will let everyone taste even more styles of Huaxia Cuisine!!
”
The young man’s face brimmed with confidence.
What an arrogant statement, spoken at such a young age.
However, as the master chefs looked at Lin Xiao, they all saw reflections of their younger selves!!
Today, some of them had succeeded, while others were simply running a business.
But the young man before them truly had the capital to be arrogant.
Based solely on the culinary skills they had witnessed so far, he was terrifyingly capable…
“But still! Boss Lin, you should consider taking in some disciples~ Otherwise, when you get old, who will help you pass on this legacy?”
“Hahaha~ That’s right. May I ask if you’re in need of a sixty-eight-year-old disciple?”
“Hey! You old geezer, have you no shame? Shouldn’t you let us fifty-year-olds go first!”
The master chefs were naturally joking around.
The crowd present was also doubled over in laughter at the chefs’ antics.
Chef Mao, however, proudly crossed his arms and said, ” As if it would ever be your turn!
Besides taking in disciples, culinary skills can also be passed down through family!
”
Oh?
How so?
” My Xiangling is so lovely, and at such a young age, she’s already capable of creating her own culinary style.
She and Boss Lin would make a perfect match.
She’s also nearing the age of marriage.
If I go and propose a match, it just might work out!!
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone froze.
Little Xiangling, sitting inside the shop, glanced at Lin Xiao’s handsome profile.
Her small face instantly flushed crimson.
Seeing Lin Xiao look her way, she cried out bashfully, ”
Dad!!!
What on earth are you talking about!!!
I…
I…
I don’t need you meddling in my affairs…
”
Chef Mao continued, ” Hey!
I remember someone telling me before that in this lifetime, they would only marry a husband whose culinary skills surpassed their own.
”
” Dad!!!!
Stop talking~~~”
Xiangling’s face was so red she could hardly lift her head.
She never expected that the words she had spoken as a child would be used by her father to publicly embarrass her like this.
Even Guoba beside her, who clearly couldn’t understand a word, joined the crowd in giggling merrily.
“Hahaha~~ Chef Xiangling and Boss Lin really do make a good match!”
“Hahaha, I support this!”
The situation had become somewhat socially fatal for Xiangling.
Lin Xiao smiled helplessly and looked at Xiangling, saying, ” Xiangling, whenever you have free time, feel free to drop by my shop.
We can exchange culinary pointers.
And thank you for letting Guoba help me today.
”
Ooh~~~
Hearing this, the crowd immediately began to jeer and cheer around them.
But upon hearing Lin Xiao’s words, Xiangling’s heart blossomed with joy!!
Getting the chance to exchange culinary skills with Boss Lin?
She couldn’t have asked for anything more!!
***
“Alright, alright~~ It’s getting late, we should be heading out too.”
“Hey! Now that you mention it, how come I feel like my body is lighter after drinking this Wensi Tofu Soup? My old ailments aren’t hurting as much anymore??”
An elderly master chef stood up.
He rubbed his knee, a look of confusion on his face.
He figured it was probably just because the food was so delicious that he had forgotten about the pain.
After all, even if ingredients had medicinal properties, they couldn’t possibly take effect this quickly.
Lin Xiao, however, watched this scene thoughtfully…
