Chapter 694: Chapter 721: Uncontrollable (Two-in-One)
"Moreover, you better not entertain any thoughts of escaping, the consequences will be more severe!"
"You better believe it!"
Lin Xi spoke casually, as if it was said inadvertently.
But Ma San and his group, especially Ma San, didn’t think Lin Xi was lying in the slightest.
So, the next moment, Ma San grimaced and ordered the subordinate who just jumped off the excavator to start digging again.
They stood aside, looking awkward, with no idea what to do with their hands and feet.
At this time, Lin Xi spoke to the shocked Elder Xiang and the worried Xiang Juan,
"Elder Xiang, Xiaojuan, the meal is all ready, let’s go inside and eat!"
Elder Xiang was stunned, looked at Ma San and his group, seemingly still worried about something, but Lin Xi signaled him not to worry, he already had plans.
Then Lin Xi took the herbs and entered the house first, as if it was his own home, and Elder Xiang and Xiang Juan didn’t find it inappropriate.
Ma San, seeing this scene, sighed deeply, if he had known Lin Xi had such a good relationship with them, he would never have threatened them!
It must be known, last time he ate a whole piece of mud, the taste was damn sour and refreshing, wasn’t it?
After the three of them entered, a little brother beside Ma San whispered to him,
"Boss, should we retreat?"
After all, now nobody was watching them, they wouldn’t really regard Lin Xi’s words as the imperial edict.
But to their confusion, Ma San shook his head, indicating they should wait here until Lin Xi came out again.
Just now, when Lin Xi looked at him, he felt the breath of death, and he had a premonition that if he ran away this time, he might really die!
Heading toward the kitchen direction, Lin Xi, together with Xiang Juan, placed the prepared dishes on the dining table beside the hall.
Xiang Juan was extremely shocked, she had been outside for no more than twenty minutes, yet in this period, Lin Xi had prepared all the dishes and soup.
This speed was a bit frightening!
At first, she thought Lin Xi was finding an excuse to let her and her grandfather inside, expecting some conversation.
But after entering, instead of talking, he went straight into the kitchen, where all the dishes were already done.
Not only were they done, but from the aroma and gloss, she could tell these dishes were not made carelessly.
One could say, they far exceeded her!
This was quite shocking, wasn’t it? To know her cooking skills were a true inheritance from her grandfather, even reaching half of his prowess!
As her grandfather said, their Xiang family was not only a family of medicine, their ancestors in the Ming Dynasty were chefs in the royal kitchen.
Though they didn’t pursue a career as chefs, the culinary skills of each Xiang family generation were remarkable.
Even at Michelin standards, if they truly competed, others were no match for the Xiang family.
So when Lin Xi said the meal was ready, her first thought was disbelief.
As if fooling ghosts!
Even if it were her grandfather, even without considering certain techniques, these dishes would take at least over an hour.
The three sat at the table, Xiang Juan looking at Lin Xi with disbelief, feeling like she was witnessing a miracle.
Lin Xi chuckled, "Stop staring, hurry up and eat!"
Beside him, Elder Xiang didn’t notice anything unusual, assuming Xiang Juan had made it,
But his mind wasn’t on the food but rather puzzled,
"Xiaolin, why are they so afraid of you? Could it be you are?"
If he belonged to some notable family, he’d seriously consider preventing his granddaughter from associating with him.
After all, marrying into such families, despite appearing luxurious and worry-free, was fraught with intrigue, and his naïve granddaughter would surely suffer and get hurt!
If that were the case, he’d rather his granddaughter live an ordinary life.
Lin Xi knew what Elder Xiang was thinking, and said, "Elder Xiang, don’t worry, they fear me because I taught them a lesson last time!"
"Last time?" He was present that time too and knew Lin Xi could fight!
But being able to make Ma San and his group so fearful still puzzled him.
After all, Ma San was a lackey of some big boss, and that boss was a person others dared not speak against due to being in their debt.
At the same time, this was why he couldn’t ask an old friend for help, for fear of implicating him.
Clearly, Lin Xi’s explanation didn’t satisfy him, and he secretly decided to find out about Lin Xi’s real background from an old friend after today.
He glanced outside and asked again, "Are you sure we don’t need to worry about Ma San’s group?"
"And they keep digging, undermining the house foundation, this..."
Lin Xi responded, "Elder Xiang, don’t worry, someone will naturally come to solve this matter later, and they will give you a satisfactory answer."
"For now, let’s eat, see if the dishes suit your taste!"
After all, for Lin Xi, even without considering Xiang Juan, with Elder Xiang helping him find herbs twice, he wouldn’t ignore this matter.
As for earlier when Xiang Juan was threatened outside, and later with Elder Xiang, he wasn’t unaware while in the kitchen, he was paying attention the whole time.
If Ma San’s men really made a move, he was confident he could stop them instantly.
However, this kind of thing had to be solved at the root, otherwise, if he fought off this group of hooligans, another group would come next time until Elder Xiang’s house problems were completely resolved, they couldn’t be safe.
Elder Xiang said nothing more, as he couldn’t do anything now and could only leave it to fate.
"Hmm?"
When he picked up a piece of vegetable with chopsticks, the moment he tasted it, his eyes lit up, showing an expression of disbelief, looking towards his granddaughter,
"Xiaojuan, how did your cooking improve so much suddenly!"
"Even grandpa isn’t your match now by far!"
The poor mood seemed to improve considerably at once.
Hearing her grandfather praise her like this, she blushed, quickly shaking her head, "Grandpa, it wasn’t made by me!"
"If not you, then who?" Elder Xiang was curious, was there someone else?
Someone else?
Indeed, apart from the two of them, there was another person here?
He made it?
How could it be? How could he have such exceptional culinary skills!
This was the best dish he had ever tasted, even at his peak, he couldn’t compare.
Following his granddaughter’s gaze, he looked at Lin Xi, surprised and asked, "Xiaolin, was this really made by you?"
Lin Xi nodded, "Elder Xiang, try the other dishes too!"
Elder Xiang felt extremely astonished, Lin Xi was not only a Divine Doctor and a great fighter, but even his cooking was unimaginably good.
Who exactly was he?
At this moment, he was a bit puzzled, mastering one skill was remarkable, yet now at such a young age, he mastered three!!!
Actually, if he knew Lin Xi had prepared all these dishes in just over twenty minutes, he would surely be too shocked to speak.
The next moment, he started eating the other dishes and soup, becoming profoundly immersed, because it was just so delicious.
Xiang Juan, who had been watching her grandfather, was also astonished.
Was her grandfather behaving this exaggeratedly?
To know, grandfather, you are a descendant of the royal kitchen!!!
Even a three-star Michelin chef is far from your match!!!
Why does it seem like you’ve won a five-million-dollar jackpot!
At this moment, Xiang Juan also picked up a bite, and the moment she tasted it, she felt electrified, trembling involuntarily, but it was a pleasant shiver, with an uncontrollable murmur escaping her lips.
If the dish was merely decent, they would think it was just ordinary, their sensations weren’t as strong as ordinary people, but with such delicious dishes, their perception was more sensitive than that of ordinary people by more than tenfold.
So, she and her grandfather were instantly captivated by the food, unable to extricate themselves.
Outside, Ma San’s group watched as the excavator continued digging over a meter deep trench, becoming more apprehensive.
They were completely clueless about Lin Xi’s intentions!
But it was certain, today would not end well!
Footsteps echoed from the other end of the alley, where it led to the road.
Ma San was not in the mood to pay attention, assuming it was probably someone seeking medical help from Elder Xiang; his biggest headache now was how to survive this ordeal today!
Suddenly, he noticed his men stepping aside like mice seeing a cat, with slightly trembling voices calling out, "Hello Brother Leopard!"
"Brother Leopard?" Ma San was first puzzled, then his face lit up with joy as he turned around to look at the person coming from behind him.
