I'm the Culinary God-Chapter 823 - 357: First Fry, Then Simmer with Less Water—Nothing Beats Grass Carp Tail! Chef Chen, I Miss You So Much!
The two of them were using a big pot, cooking four or five Fish Tails at a time.
When Xie Baomin simultaneously flipped five Fish Tails, Lin Xu was thoroughly astonished.
Holy crap, Senior Brother, this is truly amazing.
Once all the Fish Tails were served and taken away by the server, the three began preparing the Stewed Catfish Head with bones already removed.
They were busy, and at the store entrance, a taxi smoothly stopped:
"Is this the place?"
"Yes, yes, yes, how much is it? I’ll scan you." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
"The payment code is at the back... taking a cab for just two blocks, are you that hungry?"
Ren Jie scanned the payment, then pushed the door open and got out of the car.
Usually, he would have walked here directly, but today, his mind was filled with the little assistant cook and he had stuttered through his work report at the police station, so once it finished, he hailed a taxi to Yingchun Street.
Standing at the store entrance, Ren Jie didn’t go in immediately. Instead, he took a deep breath and sent Chen Yan a text message:
"Chef Chen, I’m back from my trip, right at the store entrance. Could you come out for a moment?"
He intended to go in, but recalling how the store staff always liked to tease, he figured he should clear things up outside first.
I’m a detective whose life could be tied to my belt at any moment. My parents are old academics who only accept daughter-in-laws with a master’s degree or higher...
If you’re not bothered by me, I’ll marry you even if the whole world opposes.
Let you always keep that bright smile sitting on the haystacks of the old home.
For a moment, Ren Jie’s mind was in turmoil.
Meanwhile, Chen Yan upstairs, who was just picking up a piece of Braised Fish, felt even more flustered.
He... he’s back?
Oh my gosh, my little policeman is finally back!
Chief Chen stuffed a piece of Fish into his mouth, then tossed the chopsticks aside and rushed downstairs, even forgetting to take his bag.
Chen Yuanyuan seemed a bit surprised:
"What’s up with her?"
Zeng Xiaoqi, who has a sharp tongue:
"Intermittent madwoman syndrome, don’t mind her, let’s keep eating. A woman at thirty is only a step away from menopause, having things on her mind is normal."
Dou Wenjing nudged her with an elbow:
"Can’t you stop making a blanket judgement of everyone with one shot?"
"Oh shoot, forgot our little Doudou is also thirty... did your parents fake your age to avoid family planning fines? I feel like little Doudou isn’t older than me."
"Why are you so annoyingly chatty? Even tasty Braised Fish can’t shut your mouth?"
Chen Yan dashed down the stairs with hurried steps, forgetting to take the elevator, bumping into several people along the way, but she was completely oblivious, only wanting to quickly meet the little policeman she’d worried about who failed three times at making pancakes.
At the entrance, she didn’t even hear Shu Yun’s greetings. Seeing a bit of dust on her shoes, she rubbed it clean with her sleeve before striding out of the store.
At the store entrance.
A man in casual wear with a tall figure stood there, too flustered to even buy a bouquet.
And the person who dashed out of the store also forgot to remove the Vacheron Constantin on her wrist and the diamond pendant around her neck.
"Little policeman, I..."
Chen Yan just opened her mouth but was interrupted by Ren Jie:
"Listen to me first, Chen Yan. I know you’re not the head chef, and I’m not a public security officer, I’m a detective. I’ve just caught two armed bandits from out of town, nearly got shot dead... Do you dislike me being a detective?"
I... how could I dislike that?
But it’s so dangerous... Chen Yan shook her head, then immediately asked:
"I lied and deceived you, you won’t blame me, right?"
"Of course not, but first thing’s first, my parents don’t approve of us, if they say anything unpleasant, can you bear it?"
Chen Yan: ????????
You’ve told your parents about us?
Aren’t you afraid I might not like you?
Since Ren Jie has already told his parents, then it’s time for me to introduce him to my circle.
Thinking of this, Chen Yan held Ren Jie’s hand and said:
"You haven’t eaten, have you? My brother-in-law is hosting a housewarming upstairs, I’ll take you up to join the meal."
Yes, I’ll first take him up for a meal, introduce him to everyone, and let Mom and Dad see that I, Chen Yan, have a boyfriend now, so stop urging me to get married!
Ren Jie hesitated a bit:
"Is this appropriate?"
"Appropriate, very appropriate, come on, if we’re late they’ll eat everything up!"
