I'm the Culinary God-Chapter 523 - 260: Please tell Lucy I miss her! The secret to delicious Sweet and Sour Pork! [Subscribe please]_2
His nose tingled. Just as he was hesitating about whether to inform Mr. Han and Mrs. Han to get a check-up for their master, Uncle Gao opened his arms for a hug and slipped a piece of paper into Lin Xu’s pocket. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎
"Contact Lucy for me and tell her I miss her a lot. Remember to say it in English; she doesn’t understand Chinese. I’ve put her mobile number in your pocket."
Lin Xu: "..."
It doesn’t look like a terminal illness.
People with terminal illnesses definitely wouldn’t be this flippant.
But wait a minute... hadn’t he quit all that?
Why is he still bothering Lucy?
He asked, "How should I let Aunt Lucy know it’s you?"
"Once you mention Robin, she’ll know it’s me."
Robin?
Which alias is this again?
Just as Uncle Gao finished speaking, a car horn sounded not far away. He straightened his clothes before saying to Lin Xu and Xie Baomin, "Take care, both of you. I’ll let you know once I’m settled in Yangcheng."
Then, he walked away in a carefree manner towards the exit of the venue.
Lin Xu and Xie Baomin watched the old sea king’s departing figure, wanting to say something but at a loss for words.
A good while later, Xie Baomin remarked with a sigh, "Master sure has a good waist."
Lin Xu pulled out the piece of paper from his pocket and saw a mobile number starting with 139 written on it.
It’s too busy right now. He’ll try to contact this Aunt Lucy once things settle down.
And it has to be in English, which will be a bit of a challenge.
Ever since he passed the CET-4 exam in his junior year, his English had rapidly deteriorated to the point where he only recognized gaming terms. Picking it up now, especially spoken English, was somewhat troublesome.
But for his master, no matter how difficult, the message had to be delivered!
「Outside the venue.」
Uncle Gao opened the door to his BMW 760.
As soon as he sat down, Luo Shan, who was next to him, brandished a slip of paper. "Handsome, who owns this mobile number starting with 138? I just tried calling it, and a woman speaking English answered. I had my secretary communicate with her, and she kept asking where I’d hidden Robin. Who is Robin?"
Gao Peisheng: "..."
He really shouldn’t have gotten involved with these wealthy old women!
They have too many tricks up their sleeves!
He looked at Luo Shan and asked, "Then what about the piece of paper in my pocket?"
"It’s my mobile number. I haven’t added your little disciple on WeChat yet. I’ll add him now; that way, we won’t have trouble finding your disciples if something comes up."
「Inside the venue.」
Lin Xu had just found Dundun, who was being held in Mrs. Han’s arms, when the MC urged him onto the stage to give his speech.
With no other choice, he had to postpone the prize draw yet again.
Standing on stage, he thanked all the guests, family, and friends one by one, giving special thanks to his love, Shen Baobao. A certain beauty sitting in the audience, eating dried fish, almost cried at his words.
Stinky Xu Bao, always knowing how to cheer me up, Shen Baobao thought.
"Where did this dried fish come from? It’s quite tasty," Chen Yan said.
Chen Yan had already consumed two steamed pancakes and three bowls of millet porridge and was belching from being overly full. However, smelling the aromatic dried fish in her cousin’s hand, she couldn’t resist tearing off a piece to taste.
"Xu Bao prepared it as a snack for Dundun," Shen Baobao explained. "I saw Chef Dai and the others eating it, so I grabbed some too. You know what, it’s really not bad, almost as good as that beef jerky."
"Beef jerky?"
"Chef Zhuang made some beef jerky for Dundun yesterday. I ate it all last night while binge-watching... Today I planned to have them make some more, and some of this fish jerky too."
Chen Yan, looking at her cousin’s eating habits, finally understood why Dundun wasn’t very affectionate towards her.
She even steals the cat’s food, tsk tsk. Even Snow White’s stepmother wouldn’t stoop that low, would she?
No wonder Dundun isn’t close to me, his grandaunt, either. He must have been negatively influenced by my silly cousin.
Shortly after eleven in the morning, the celebration officially came to an end.
The restaurant staff led all the guests to the private dining rooms on the third floor.
Seating arrangements had already been made. Once the guests were seated, the dishes began to arrive. All sorts of exquisite food, not usually sold to the public, were served to them today.
All the upstairs private dining rooms were full.
Lin Xu went from room to room, greeting the guests. Then, in the largest room, he found Dundun being held in his mother-in-law Han Shuzhen’s arms.
The little guy had been passed around by the elders for a while and was looking a bit weary now.
"Mom, give Dundun to me," Lin Xu said. "I’ll get him something to eat. He hasn’t eaten all morning and must be starving."
"Sure, sure, go ahead!" Han Shuzhen replied. "I was wondering why my grandson looked a bit skinny. It turns out he’s hungry."
Han Shuzhen handed Dundun over to Lin Xu and then started chatting with Chen Meijuan about going to a spa. With nothing planned for the afternoon, she intended to take Chen Meijuan to experience a high-end Beijing spa.
Meanwhile, Shen Guofu, hearing that Lin Hongqi also enjoyed playing pool, planned to invite Tan Yajun, who had also come bearing a gift, to play a couple of rounds at the villa. He wanted to let Yinzhou’s Brother Lin experience the prowess of Yanjing’s Ding Junhui and South City’s O’Sullivan.
Carrying Dundun to the second floor, Lin Xu told a kitchen hand, "Bring me some grilled fish fillets. Dundun’s been eating steamed and boiled meat every day, so let’s give him a taste of something different today."
But the kitchen hand quickly came back empty-handed. "There’s none left. It seems Chef Dai and the boss’s wife took them all to eat."
Lin Xu: ???????
With all this delicious food around, why would they compete with a cat for its meal?
Just as he was feeling frustrated, Shen Jiayue came over with a small bag. "Xu Bao, you’ve got to try this grilled fish fillet! It’s so tasty I was afraid someone would snatch it away, so I packed it all up... Eh? Why is Dundun showing his claws? He looks so majestic!"
