Transmigration: The Little Chef Calls The Shots-Chapter 1548 - 345, Snatching Food (Part 1)

"What’s this? Why haven’t I seen it before? It looks really delicious!"

"Wow! It smells like alcohol! It smells pretty good too!"

Following behind Xia Zheng, Lin Yuan couldn’t help but laugh. Lao Fan and Xia Hen really were different—one a foodie and the other a drunk, even their points of interest were different!

Holding the plate, Xia Zheng quickly lifted it high to prevent their drool from getting into it.

"It’s not just tasty, the name is also good. If either of you can guess the name of this dish, I’ll let one of you eat the whole plate!"

Xia Zheng cockily raised his eyebrows, knowing that the name "Shrimp Nonsense" wasn’t something just anyone could guess, and he was sure these two wouldn’t be able to guess it.

However, he clearly underestimated someone’s passion for food.

"Really? If I guess the name, I get to eat it all by myself?"

Lao Fan’s eyes lit up, his white beard perked up highly, and his face flushed with excitement.

Seeing Lao Fan like this, Xia Zheng muttered to himself that this was not good, but before he could retract his offer, Lao Fan had already blurted out: "Nonsense! Nonsense! Give it to me to eat!"

Xia Zheng’s eyes widened, his hand holding the plate stiffened, and the corners of his mouth twitched with agony; that old guy actually knew!

Seeing Xia Zheng’s regretful and pained expression, Lin Yuan chuckled and covered her mouth, then went to help Lady Liu and Princess Anle with their bowls and chopsticks, and sat down next to them.

Hearing Lao Fan say "nonsense," Xia Hen burst into laughter, clapped Xia Zheng on the shoulder and said, "Haha, see? Not only do I know your nature of talking nonsense, even Lao Fan knows! Haha!"

Xia Zheng glanced sideways at him with a deadpan expression: "Are you sure you don’t want to eat ’Shrimp Nonsense’?"

Xia Hen subconsciously said: "How can you eat nonsense? Who would eat nonsense? Haha, stop joking! Cough cough, why are you looking at me like that? Am I wrong?"

Seeing Lao Fan’s sympathetic and pitiful look, Xia Hen stretched his neck, swallowed hard, and stammered, "You, you’re not saying Xia Zheng is talking nonsense, but saying, saying this dish is ’Nonsense’?"

Seeing both Xia Zheng and Lao Fan’s "what do you think" expressions, Xia Hen, like a cat with its tail stepped on, suddenly jumped up and screamed: "What, nonsense! Such a name actually exists! What normal person would name a dish like this? I don’t believe it, I don’t believe it, I want to meet him, he must be a big fool!"

The big fool with her hands propping up her chin suddenly smiled sweetly and said, "Uncle, I think you’re definitely not hungry today, and you’re even quite full! Why not go clean up the storeroom, oh, and also fix the roof. Uncle, with your excellent Qinggong skills, this should be a breeze for you!"

Sitting to the side, Lady Liu quickly elbowed Lin Yuan and shook her head at her.

However, Princess Anle didn’t mind and directly helped Lin Yuan tie on her apron, and went on to talk with Lady Lin.

Hearing Lin Yuan talk like this, and seeing both Xia Zheng and Lao Fan with a "you’re on your own" expression, even the foolish Xia Hen realized by then that the fool who named dishes bizarrely was his future niece-in-law!

Cough cough cough.

Awkwardly coughing, Xia Hen quickly changed the subject and, with a tip of his toe, displayed his Qinggong in an attempt to snatch the plate Xia Zheng was holding aloft.

However, before Xia Zheng could react, Lao Fan, who had been eyeing the "Shrimp Nonsense" greedily, had already stretched out a finger and poked a pressure point on Xia Hen’s abdomen.

With a thud, Xia Hen fell to the ground, crying out in pain.

Lao Fan chuckled hehehe: "Cheating? Dream on!"

Then he looked up at Xia Zheng, squinting his eyes and hehe said: "Nonsense, nonsense, how about that, I guessed right, I win it all, right?"

Xia Zheng hummed inwardly, it would be really strange if he let him have this plate of scrambled shrimp!

"Cough cough, I have no idea what you’re talking about, you have to write it down for me!"

Saying this, Xia Zheng stretched out his hand, palm open, signaling Lao Fan to write those three characters on his hand.

As soon as writing was mentioned, Lao Fan immediately tensed up. Xia Zheng is sly, but Lao Fan is not stupid, if writing is involved, there must be a trick!

He thought for a moment, his eyes rolling around, then turned his head to look at Lin Yuan: "Little girl, how do you like this match I’ve made for you? Are you satisfied with Xia Zheng? Oh, not satisfied! Alright, alright, I’ll find you someone better right away, guaranteed satisfaction!"

Lin Yuan helplessly facepalmed, she swore she didn’t utter the words ’not satisfied.’

Xia Zheng curled his lips and immediately handed the plate to Lao Fan: "Here you go, it’s yours! But..."

Just as Lao Fan was gleefully about to take the plate, an alarm went off in his heart, watching him warily: "But what?"

Xia Zheng chuckled and pointed at the full plate of bright red boiled meat slices on the table, raised his eyebrows, and smiled: "Let me tell you, this scrambled shrimp is sour, and that boiled meat slices are spicy, if you hog this plate of shrimp, you have to give us that meat, you can’t hog them both."

Ah?

Lao Fan instinctively uttered in surprise, glanced at the boiled meat, then at the scrambled shrimp, and finally compromised. Instead of monopolizing one, he might as well eat both — he just needs to eat faster later.

Feeling very pleased with himself, Lao Fan leisurely took his seat and signaled everyone to start eating.

Xia Hen stood up from the ground and brushed off his clothes. He resentfully glared at Lao Fan, rubbing his stomach.

Dinner started with the commotion of Lao Fan, Xia Zheng, and Xia Hen, and ended with their ruckus too, because as soon as Lao Fan was about to pick up a shrimp with his chopsticks, it was snatched away by the sudden intruding hand of Xia Hen.

The scuffle immediately began, and if not for Lin Yuan’s quick reactions snatching two to give to Lady Liu and Princess Anle, they wouldn’t even have had a taste.

This was Lin Yuan’s first time making tomato sauce, and it must be said, it really suited everyone’s taste. Even Lao Fan, who normally prefers spicy food, lingeringly licked the sauce off the plate’s edge.

After setting down the plate, Lao Fan sighed with a hint of regret: "Alas, my apprentice isn’t here."

Just when everyone thought he would say he would leave some for Xiao Linshuang, suddenly Lao Fan’s eyes brightened with excitement, him loudly slapping the table and laughing uproariously: "That’s just wonderful! Haha, I finally get to show off to her, hahaha."

Uh!

Princess Anle and the others looked at each other, all bearing wry smiles.

After dinner, Lady Liu chatted with Princess Anle for a while before returning to Lin Mansion, and Xia Zheng along with Lin Yuan went back to Dong Tian.

Just as they entered, Shopkeeper Liu hurriedly came to welcome them, mysteriously and nervously saying: "Young Master, Miss, a weirdo came today!"
