Abnormal Gourmet Chronicle-Chapter 1175 - 563: Xu Cheng’s Shock_2

"Since Xiao An is the granddaughter of the big boss, and my grandfather asked her to dig out the gold bars from the old house, it means that these three gold bars were saved by my grandfather for Xiao An over the years."

"It's the wish of the old man. Master Qin, please tell Xiao An to accept them."

Qin Huai heard from Lin Juan something that Lin Qi never said. For some reason, when Lin Juan was talking about these things, Qin Huai's mind flashed with the image of Lin Qi searching everywhere for his bank card in the nursing home room.

Qin Huai pondered for a moment: "Sister Juan, maybe you should discuss with your family, after all, these three gold bars belong to Mr. Lin."

Lin Juan thought for a moment and started calling the family one by one.

An hour later, Xu Cheng happily followed Jiang Yong to Jiang Yong's house, ready to enjoy a hearty meal, only to push the door open and find the living room full of people.

Xu Cheng: ...?

Jiang Yong didn't tell him it was his family reunion dinner today.

Jiang Yong, who followed in right after: ...

Jiang Yong was also a bit confused, thinking that his wife didn't tell him it was a family reunion today, how come everyone was here, the lineup was so grand it was almost like New Year's Eve dinner.

The Lin family member in the living room was having a heated discussion.

"Juan'er is right; we can't take these three gold bars. They were left for Xiao An by Dad."

"Dad, Grandfather is all muddle-headed. Besides, Miss An and Master Qin both said they didn't want these three gold bars, so let's keep them for ourselves, for Linyin's tutoring fees..."

"Just because they say they don't want it, you refuse to give it? Aren't you ashamed? How could Lin Yi have a son as disappointing as you? You want to give it to whoever you like, did your grandfather's nursing and retirement cost you a penny all these years? Wasn't it all paid by your dad, me, and your aunt? When it's time to be filial, you play poor and pretend to be dead, but when it's time to divide, you jump out, don't you?"

"Uncle, I think Brother also has a point. Thank Miss An, give her a gold bar to make two pieces of jewelry as a thank you gift, and the remaining two..."

"Thanks for what? How did Lin Er raise such a daughter like you? You didn't visit your grandfather in the nursing home, but now you speak when dividing the gold bars, did your uncle not scold you just now?"

Xu Cheng: ...How is there a gold bar issue? Wasn't he here to enjoy a meal? Why does it feel like he walked into a family inheritance division?

Xu Cheng couldn't help but crane his neck.

Jiang Yong also didn't understand what the situation was at home, but he knew that this occasion was not suitable for the boss to be watching, especially since this boss enjoys drama quite a bit.

Jiang Yong tried to seek help from his wife to figure out what was happening. But Lin Juan was busy in the living room, helping her dad and aunt argue, so she didn't have time for her husband. Jiang Yong had to steer Xu Cheng toward the kitchen, and as they reached the kitchen door, Qin Huai silently opened the kitchen door.

"Mr. Xu, good afternoon. The fermented rice with steamed buns is ready. How about having one first?" Qin Huai said with a smile.

Xu Cheng was immediately attracted by the fermented rice with steamed buns, abandoning the drama, nodding while quickly scanning the kitchen, and was startled by the semi-finished products on the culinary station.

Although Xu Cheng doesn't know how to cook, as a top food critic, he can judge very well, even better than most chefs.

Xu Cheng could clearly see that Qin Huai's dough kneading skills have improved significantly, reaching the level of a top pastry chef.

Qin Huai smiled and opened the steamer; Lin Juan's steam pot was just an ordinary household steamer, which could only steam six or seven buns at a time.

Once the lid was opened, the rich aroma of fermented rice buns began to spread from the kitchen. Back in the day, Master Jing's Level S- Fermented Rice with Steamed Buns would have its scent waft half a street; these days, Qin Huai's reaches the same Level S-.

Though only 7 buns were steamed in one go, preventing the aroma from reaching half a street, it could surely drift a few floors.

Especially since Lin Juan's house was a bit old, its soundproofing and smell-proofing weren't great.

Xu Cheng indulgently closed his eyes, inhaling the aroma of the fermented rice buns, while his mind composed a new food review, thinking he had the next cover story for "Taste" magazine.

'It's an aroma difficult to describe with words, aggressive yet with a softness that captivates, the sweet fragrance of fermented rice perfectly blending with the malt aroma, carried by the steaming vapor directly from the nose to the brain. You don't even need to see the buns in the steamer; just by imagining with the scent, you can already envision the soft and delicate texture of the buns, the warm and wonderful taste as they are chewed on the tongue. It's hard to believe these buns bring such impact; these are just buns.'

In just 30 seconds, Xu Cheng had already drafted a social media post for the evening.

Hehe, this food review goes out first to make everyone drool.

The fresh buns from the steamer are hot; apart from prodigies like Qin Luo, Qin Huai wouldn't recommend anyone to grab a freshly steamed bun bare-handed.

Zhao Rong and Qin Congwen would wear gloves, thick gloves, while selling breakfast.

The aroma of the fermented rice buns lingered in the house for two full minutes, quieting the living room. Lin Yi, who was previously in a word battle, fell silent, all eyes carried a touch of bewilderment.

Wait, are we here to discuss the ownership of these three gold bars or to eat buns?

I think the gold bar's ownership isn't urgent, but the buns are freshly steamed; shouldn't we eat them?

No other reason, mainly not wanting to waste food, since every grain is hard-earned.
