My skill tree increases every day.

Lin Yu still clearly remembered when he commented on the boss's braised pork intestines,

What did he say?

Now, no!

after!

I dare not eat pig intestines here!

What if he actually listens to what I say?

I don't want to eat a hot, unflavored pork intestine that day!

"Thank you very much for the food, I am very satisfied."

Lin Yu's words were very sincere.

Putting aside the cost of the ingredients, the old man's culinary skills alone are worth more than what you could buy at this price.

The old man's skills were indeed exceptional, far superior to those of his unfortunate son.

This is almost the limit of what these dishes can achieve; any more would just be nitpicking and finding fault where there is none.

Having received a satisfactory answer from Lin Yu, the old man smiled with satisfaction.

Before leaving, Lin Yu even packed up the dishes from the first table.

Take it home and eat it tomorrow, or at the very least give it to Liu Zhiyuan or the cats and dogs in the neighborhood.

When it came time to pay, Lin Yu decisively took out his phone to scan the QR code and paid for both meals.

"etc!"

Just as Lin Yu was about to leave with the takeout box in hand, he was stopped by a voice behind him.

"You overpaid!"

The boss jogged to catch up with Lin Yu, holding his phone with the payment page still displayed on the screen.

His tone was somewhat urgent.

"Boss, it's nothing much. I'll pay for this remade meal, as well as the money for the previous meal."

"That's too much! The previous table returned their dishes, how can we charge you?"

The boss looked serious.

"I can't accept this money! If there's a problem with the food we serve, it's only right that we accept the return and remake it! There's no reason for us to charge extra!"

"But you didn't take this table back before," Lin Yu said, holding up several takeout boxes and showing them to the boss. "If I want to take these home, I should pay for them."

"Brother Lin, I'm not afraid you'll laugh at me, I'll tell you the truth."

The boss suddenly entered a strange state and began to talk to Lin Yu about his innermost thoughts.

No?

Is this script correct? Why did he suddenly start repenting while he was talking?

"I wasn't a gifted person growing up, unlike you, who can see the problems behind a dish just by tasting it."

When I was learning to cook, I wasn't serious enough. I was always thinking, "It's good enough, it's good enough..."

The boss got more and more into his speech, almost to the point of crying and kneeling on the ground, shouting:

"Chef! I'd like to be a kitchen helper!"

"...Brother Lin, you've really woken me up today. I can't keep going down this mediocre path! It's time for me to re-evaluate my culinary journey!"

The art style is getting weirder and weirder!

What kind of shonen anime protagonist is this, where he wakes up a fallen senior and rekindles his original aspirations?!

"Little Brother Lin!"

The boss suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Lin Yu's shoulder.

!

Lin Yu was startled.

No?! Is it suddenly going to switch from a Little Master style to a Conan style?

"Starting tomorrow—no! Starting tonight! I'll start practicing from the basics again! I'll hold myself to the highest standards; if it's even slightly off, or lacks the perfect seasoning, I'll start over!"

Fortunately, it's still the storyline of Master Chef.

"Go for it!"

Lin Yu was taken aback by his boss's sudden burst of enthusiasm and was truly at a loss for what to do.

"You can definitely do it."

If you don't know what to say, then let's encourage him!

Being in your forties is the perfect time to take risks!

"Hey! Young Master Lin, thank you for your kind words!" The boss nodded vigorously, his enthusiasm growing even stronger. "Young Master Lin, you must come often! And bring your girlfriend with you!"

"I'll show you how I've changed!"

Chen Shuyan's earlobes turned red again.

She glanced at Lin Yu discreetly; he was currently preoccupied with dealing with his boss and clearly hadn't caught on yet.

Chen Shuyan didn't say much, she just pursed her lips and subconsciously raised her hand, her fingers twisting the straps of her suspenders.

"well,"

Lin Yu was indeed somewhat taken aback by the boss's eagerness and could only respond mechanically.

In the end, he accepted the money the boss returned.

That's how they managed to escape.

Chen Shuyan walked beside Lin Yu, and after a while, she spoke softly:

"Lin Yu, you...you're amazing."

"Hmm?" Lin Yu turned his head to look at her.

Turning his head, Lin Yu met a pair of amber eyes that looked exceptionally bright under the streetlights.

"I just feel like you're so amazing, you know so much about cooking."

Actually, I'm not very good at cooking; what I'm good at is commenting and tasting.

"No, it was just luck."

"There's no such thing as luck; opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. You've achieved all this because of your own abilities."

"Hehe, it's not as amazing as you make it out to be."

No wonder she's a woman who often tutors elementary school students; she easily coaxed Lin Yu into becoming her placenta.

"By the way," Chen Shuyan suddenly asked curiously, "you really don't like eating pig intestines?"

Um, why did she suddenly ask that?

"Chen Shuyan," Lin Yu deliberately put on a stern face, feigning seriousness, "aren't you paying a little too much attention to these weaknesses of mine?"

"About you,"

Chen Shuyan stood with her hands behind her back, half a step to the side of Lin Yu, her tone serious.

"I will remember them all."

……

Lin Yu took Chen Shuyan back to Wudong University, but this time he didn't walk her all the way to her dormitory.

Having already learned my lesson the hard way, will I fall for it again this time?

Should I really ask Li Tongchen to open the door for me again? Besides, who can guarantee that I'll run into Li Tongchen again today?

Therefore, Lin Yu chose to only take Chen Shuyan to the school gate.

Be careful on your way back.

"Don't worry, the school is very safe. You should be careful on the road."

Lin Yu hopped on his electric scooter and waved to Chen Shuyan:

"Okay, you can go in now. I'm leaving too."

"Okay, be careful on the road."

Chen Shuyan stood in front of the turnstile and waved back to Lin Yu. Only after seeing Lin Yu ride his bike around the corner did she turn around, swipe her card, and enter the campus.

On the way back, the evening breeze felt cool on my skin, without any feeling of cold.

The weather has been getting hotter and hotter these past few days, according to Wu Jing.

Back in the rented room, Liu Zhiyuan was indeed still awake, sprawled on the bed scrolling through short videos.

"Hey! Brother Yu, you're back again." Liu Zhiyuan didn't move his head, but just glanced at him. "What good stuff did you bring?"

The allure of food easily extinguished his gossipy nature.

"Wow! It's still warm! So thoughtful!" He eagerly opened it, his eyes lighting up. "Great job, Brother Yu! You're out having a nice meal with your sister and you haven't forgotten your brothers!"

"Eating won't shut you up!" Lin Yu ignored him and put the other half in the refrigerator to prepare for tomorrow's lunch.

"I'll forgive you for coming back today because of the offerings you made."

"Um?"

What is this guy talking about?
