Chapter 915: Chapter 388: You’ve Got Vocabulary for Days—Are You Preparing for the Graduate Exams? Shop-Review Streamers Are Flocking In! [Subscription Request] (2)

After all, they’re partners getting married, so enough respect should be shown.

He gifted a gold bar with today’s code, weighing a hefty 500 grams, a full pound. Holding it feels like half a brick; dropping it on your foot would hurt for half a day.

"Congratulations, President Yan! When’s the wedding planned?"

Yan Lin shook her head:

"We’re not having a wedding. We’ll just stay in Beijing for a few days, then head back to Shanghai, let the two families sit down for a meal and chat, that’s it."

That simple?

Cui Qingyuan said:

"I’m not someone who enjoys a lot of excitement, and those meaningless social events waste too much time. Over at the school, I just handed out some wedding candies to the students today, everyone but Lele was quite happy."

Lin Xu was taken aback:

"Why isn’t Lele happy? Shouldn’t she be more pleased?"

"Well, I discovered this girl’s potential is far from being fully tapped, so I plan to have her complete the four-year undergraduate courses in one year. She’s deeply moved."

Moved enough to want to break you two up... Lin Xu fully understands Geng Lele’s thoughts.

It’s just like when a high school student does a good deed, and the other party buys thousands of yuan worth of practice questions as thanks.

"What’s this, Xu Bao? Is it Donkey Roll?"

"This is Leisha Yuan that Lin just made, even more delicious than what we have locally in Shanghai... But speaking of it, Donkey Roll does look a bit similar, covered in bean flour too."

Lin Xu isn’t very interested in desserts. After eating two Leisha Yuan, he went back to the kitchen to keep busy.

Xie Baomin and Dai Jianli followed him in.

Since Cui Qingyuan and Yan Lin weren’t having an extra wedding, today’s meal needed to be more sumptuous.

After all, this was the wedding banquet of a Tsinghua University professor and a billionaire, can’t be careless.

"Junior brother, I might come to your store this afternoon for a visit... Didn’t expect the fan count to grow so fast; it’s over seven hundred thousand now. Why do people online enjoy watching the excitement and not fearing trouble?"

Lin Xu said:

"Then just come along, you know the dishes in the store anyway. It’d be nice if you help me check again, see if there are any issues."

"If you say so, I’ll go full out this afternoon."

"Say whatever you like, don’t be polite."

While they were busy in the kitchen, Geng Lishan and his family, Chen Yan, Ren Jie, Zeng Xiaoqi, Dou Wenjing, Brother Qiang, and others arrived one after another.

Apart from these friends who regularly dine together, Cui Qingyuan hadn’t notified colleagues from school or folks from back home.

He was inherently someone who led a very simple life, detesting all kinds of meaningless social interactions, and his connection with the people at the store arose from a shared love for food—his greatest passion aside from programming.

Once everyone arrived, they snacked on delicious Leisha Yuan, sipped hot tea, and chatted casually.

Yan Lin picked up Dundun, dressed in a red sweater, with a gaze full of adoration:

"Little darling, dressed so festively, do you know I have a happy event today?"

Shen Baobao said from the side:

"It chose this outfit itself this morning. When we went to its room, it had already pulled it out, waiting to put it on. It surely knows today’s a big day for President Yan, so it chose bright red."

"Really? Thank you so much, little darling!"

Yan Lin rubbed her face against Dundun, and the little one immediately used its furry big head to nuzzle against Yan Lin, making her very happy.

The little guy is quite experienced in pleasing wealthy people.

After all, its grandma and grandpa are wealthy, trained it well.

Geng Lishan brought quite a hefty gift today, besides a "Marriage" banner, there was also a scripture written in small script by hand.

In the kitchen, after finishing his designated dishes, Lin Xu started making the new dessert he had experimented with that morning.

The white kidney beans soaked overnight were already used up, but no worries, cooking directly works just fine.

Adding a bit of baking soda to the white kidney beans and boiling for half an hour makes the skin easy to peel off, after peeling, following the normal method, continuing to steam is simple enough.

However, compared to soaking, this method of boiling tends to make the beans break apart, not as easy to peel as after thorough soaking.

Once the white kidney beans and kelp paste were done, he took out small white porcelain bowls used for dessert, filled them to eighty percent full, and drizzled on brown sugar ginger juice. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

He carried them out on a tray while still hot.

"Come and try, this is a small dessert I’ve thought up over the past couple of days. It has two ways of eating: hot or cold. The hot version is a paste with brown sugar ginger juice, the cold one is like jelly with crystal sugar ginger juice."

Before he finished speaking, Chen Yan and the group gathered around.

Brown sugar ginger juice, a must-have during menstruation, can’t be missed!

"Brother-in-law, what’s the name of this dessert?"

"Should we specifically tell the waiter whether we want it cold or hot when ordering?"

"Looks so tempting, the aroma of ginger juice and brown sugar smells so pleasant."

Lin Xu said:

"They’re named differently: this one is called ’Brown Sugar Ginger Juice Jade Paste’, and the cold one is ’Crystal Sugar Ginger Juice Jade Curd’, both named in a palace style."

Shen Baobao curiously asked:

"Such a long name, are they different in taste?"

Zeng Xiaoqi spiced it up:

"Allows for a higher price... Wow, this is tasty, what ingredients are used? The texture is smooth and silky, the sweetness pairs with the slight spice of ginger, really satisfying."

"Kelp and white kidney beans."

"What? Kelp?"

Everyone looked in surprise at the dessert in their bowls.

This is the improved kelp dessert from a couple of days ago?

Both the texture and taste have greatly improved.
