Chapter 857: Chapter 369: Steam the Chicken All the Way Through Before Coating and Frying—The Kids at Home Cry from Craving!

When Li Qiang asked the question, not only did Chen Yan look like she was about to offer advice, but others also started chiming in with their suggestions.

"Qiang, you can come to Lin Ji to pack some meals, save yourself from having to cook when you get there."

"Don’t forget to bring a hot drink from Ziqiang Shengjian to keep her warm all day."

"Make sure to have a haircut and dress handsomely."

"Yeah, it’s best to wear a suit, and don’t forget to buy a bouquet of flowers. It might be cliché, but girls like it."

"..."

Li Qiang was a bit surprised:

"I’m just going to fix a computer. Why is it more complicated than a blind date?"

Chen Yan sent a disdainful emoji:

"If the manager of the tech department can’t even fix a computer, how did she get the job? Must have used some big connections."

These words suddenly enlightened Li Qiang:

"You mean? She’s asking me over for a date?"

Geng Lele jumped in to scare him, saying:

"It’s also possible she’s after your kidney. Better note down your future brother-in-law’s phone number. In case it’s true, it might save your life."

Li Qiang: "..."

Geng Lele, if you keep this up, I’m calling Professor Cui.

Last weekend Li Qiang went to watch a movie with Qi Panpan. He wanted to hold hands during the movie, but Panpan gave him a glare with her boss lady aura, and Qiang didn’t dare to proceed.

So this time, when he’s going to fix the computer, he truly intends on just dealing with the computer.

Unexpectedly, the group chat members saw right through him.

Chen Yan said:

"Qiang, you can’t keep being like this. You need to be more assertive. The more she doesn’t let you hold her hand, the more you should. The more she doesn’t let you touch her, the more you should hold on tight. Otherwise, you’ll never take that step in your life."

Zeng Xiaoqi chimed in:

"Tsk tsk, the wisdom of someone who’s been there."

Chen Yan sent a humble emoji:

"Just some minor reflections. Time to eat, seems like there’s a new dish today at lunch."

She took the elevator downstairs and happened to run into Dou Wenjing coming down in another elevator, so she hitched a ride with President Dou to the store.

Meanwhile, the "advisors" in the group chat were still cheering Qiang on.

When Lin Xu finished his work and was about to have lunch, he casually glanced at the group chat messages and froze:

"What’s wrong with this group of people? Why are they always leading Qiang towards a life of crime?"

Shen Baobao chuckled and said:

"Manager Qi called Qiang to fix a computer, and he’s so straight-minded, he really plans to bring a CPU and graphics card like he’s a repairman. He doesn’t understand girls at all... Xu Bao, if I had asked you to fix my computer during college, what would you have brought?"

Lin Xu thought for a moment:

"At the very least, I’d bring an eraser to clean the golden fingers of the RAM. You know, if you don’t clean those, the computer could easily have issues."

Shen Jiayue: ???????

Smelly Xu Bao, believe it or not, I’ll deal with you just like Manager Qi does with Qiang?

Lin Xu smiled and pinched the girl’s cheek:

"But if I gave you a kiss while fixing the computer, you wouldn’t object, right?"

"I object, one kiss is too little, at least ten!"

After everyone had settled down, Wei Qian brought over a serving of Shengjian Chrysanthemum and a serving of Stir-Fried Beef with Celery.

Chef Guo came from far away, couldn’t just let him hold chopsticks without knowing what to eat, so they had to add some dishes.

Lin Xu picked up a piece of chicken liver soaked in red oil and put it in his mouth. The spicy flavor contrasted sharply with the tenderness of the chicken liver.

Moreover, with the help of the oil, the chicken liver became very rich, almost reminiscent of goose liver.

Even Xie Baomin couldn’t help but praise:

"The way this chicken liver is prepared is quite nice, it whets the appetite and goes well with rice, Dongdong, you should try it, it’s not spicy."

Guo Weidong picked a piece, tasted it, and immediately had to eat two large spoonfuls of rice due to the spiciness:

"Why are you just like Lao Dai? Every dish to him isn’t spicy."

"It’s really not that spicy, just ordinary chili, haven’t even used Devil’s Pepper or King Chili yet."

Guo Weidong decided not to engage with him further and took a bite of chrysanthemum as he said to Lin Xu:

"Master Lin, I didn’t come today for anything else; I just wanted to ask if you need any interns here?"

Interns?

Lin Xu was a bit surprised:

"You have an apprentice graduating?"

"No, it’s Xinghai. Feels bored at his family’s restaurant, and doesn’t want to go to Fishing Platform, so he wants to join the fun at Lin Ji but is too embarrassed to ask."

That’s very welcome!

Having an all-rounder even better than Wei Qian in the shop is a stroke of luck.

"Let him come. I’ll offer him a head chef’s salary."

"Salary doesn’t matter to him, he just wants a busy place to hone his culinary skills. I’m just giving you a heads up so you’re not caught off guard."

Would never happen, I have many flaws, but never let money go to waste... Lin Xu laughed and said:

"Let him come, let him come. With Xinghai here, we’ll have a fuller team, and things will run smoother during peak hours."

He was absolutely delighted, never expected Guo Xinghai to come over.

At that time, he’ll have the kitchen staff give him a warm welcome.

Saying that, Lin Xu took a bite of giblets.

The tangy, spicy flavor and the crispy, tender texture instinctively made him devour a large mouthful of rice.

To tell the truth, these tangy and spicy dishes are all hidden rice killers.

They look inconspicuous and not visually appealing, but after the first bite, you’ll find it’s not something one or two bowls of rice can handle, at least three bowls to start.

"Wow, these string beans are so crunchy and delicious, Xu Bao, when you have time, can you make minced pork with string beans for me? Seems it would taste really good too."
