Upon hearing his words, Boss Wang rolled his eyes and then also sat down, "If it's offered with such enthusiasm, how can I refuse? I happen to be hungry as well."
As he spoke, he began to eat.
The moment he took a bite, he paused.
The taste of the dishes today was much better than what he had eaten before. Could it be due to the different temperatures of the plates?
He subconsciously touched the plate with his hand. Although it was no longer scalding hot, it was still warm.
He hadn't paid attention to whether the plates were hot before. Today, after specifically mentioning it, the taste had changed.
He glanced at Lin Xiao, not wanting to thank him.
Once he thanked Lin Xiao, he would have truly lost.
Xun'er also started eating at this time, and she was arguably the most excited person present. Even though she couldn't hold her chopsticks properly yet, she managed to use both hands, with chopsticks and a spoon, to get two pieces of soft-shelled turtle.
Lin Xiao usually fed Xun'er with a spoon, or the food was easy enough for her to eat with her hands. Of course, Xun'er was also trying hard to learn to use chopsticks, but she hadn't made much progress in a short time.
"Yummy!"
Xun'er, with food still in her mouth, exclaimed excitedly. The next second, she choked. "Cough! Cough! Cough!"
"Oh, my precious baby, are you alright?" Lin Xiao quickly helped her by expelling the choked food with a surge of spiritual energy. If she had choked any more, a child like Xun'er could end up in the hospital.
"I'm fine..."
Xun'er's face was flushed red. The coughing fit had been so intense that her eyes were watering.
"Daddy, it's delicious! Can you also make it?" Xun'er struggled to get out of Lin Xiao's arms. She stood on her chair and quickly started eating again.
"Of course, what can your dad not do?" Lin Xiao said, then he lectured her, "Xun'er, from now on, when you speak, you must wait until you've finished eating before you talk, otherwise you'll choke again."
"Mhm! Got it!"
After saying that, Xun'er started grabbing food from her bowl. For anything she couldn't reach, she would stare at Lin Xiao with her big, watery eyes, waiting for him to help.
"Hmph!"
Luo Qinghan let out a soft hmph, "You're going to spoil Xun'er like this."
"No, Mommy, don't worry! Xun'er is a good child and won't become bad," Xun'er said earnestly, looking at her mother after she had swallowed the food in her mouth.
"See how good Xun'er is? How could she possibly be spoiled?"
Lin Xiao laughed heartily.
Manager Niu didn't interfere at this point. He was diligently eating and asked, "Old Wang, have you changed the chefs in your kitchen? Why is it even tastier than before?"
As he spoke, Manager Niu finished a bowl of rice.
Boss Wang cleared his throat and shook his head, "Of course not. You saw it just now. None of my kitchen staff have been replaced."
They were all old employees who had been with him for a long time and hadn't gotten into any trouble. Moreover, whenever someone tried to poach them, he would offer a high salary to keep them. So, no one had been replaced. However, many new people had joined, otherwise the kitchen wouldn't be able to handle the workload.
"Is that so? It seems I haven't eaten here in a while. A few dishes are even better than last time," Manager Niu said. He didn't stand on ceremony, taking the corn liquor he had just brought in and pouring himself a cup, then pouring a cup for Lin Xiao and the others. It seemed he was thoroughly enjoying himself.
