The most important thing was that he had no experience studying abroad, which would be a significant disadvantage in talent evaluations. Therefore, if he wanted to move, he could only choose the second option.

"Let’s wait a bit. When the opportunity arises, we’ll switch to a more spacious house. For now, this place is still livable, and we don’t need to buy any large items anytime soon."

The new house not only had to accommodate both sets of parents but also needed a spacious living room so that Dundun could play happily at home.

Naturally, the best choice would be a large apartment.

But the price of a large apartment was incomparable to ordinary houses, especially in Haidian, where schools were plentiful. Real estate prices were already high in Beijing, and large apartments were rare, making them a very scarce resource.

Scarcity, by definition, meant expensive.

"What if I don’t keep the Europa? I can sell the other cars under my name, and with my spending money, I could almost buy a large apartment."

Listening to her tone, her spending money must be at least a few million.

Thinking back to when I was saving pocket money during school, I saved several hundred in junior high and several hundred more in high school. I always felt quite accomplished.

But compared to rich people, the difference wasn’t just a little bit.

As Shen Baobao was pulling a hoodie over her head, Lin Xu reached out to tidy her messy hair:

"No need, I’m here. If we use your money to buy the house, wouldn’t that make me a kept man?"

Hearing this, Shen Baobao immediately lifted Lin Xu’s chin with her finger:

"What’s wrong with being a kept man? Is it shameful? As long as you serve me well, forget an apartment, even if it’s... MMPH... I’m sorry, Hubby..."

Shen Baobao had intended to stage a scene of a rich woman teasing her "kept man."

But before the teasing could start, the "pretty boy" turned the tables on her.

After Lin Xu tackled her onto the bed and kissed her soundly several times, the girl finally surrendered.

However, as soon as Lin Xu sat up, she began to grumble again:

"You stinker, Xu! Always bullying me. My freshly changed clothes are all messed up..."

The instigator, completely forgetting she had started it, kept muttering.

"I ordered some pigeons. I plan to let my senior apprentice brother show off his skills at noon today, and we’re introducing a new pigeon dish at the restaurant. Do you want to try it?"

When it came to food, Shen Baobao stopped grumbling and hurried to the bathroom to freshen up.

These were delicious-sounding pigeons, after all, definitely worth a taste!

Most importantly, pigeons were the symbol of uploaders on a certain website who often "go missing." Eating pigeons would be like getting revenge for all the times she’d been "stood up" by them!

After freshening up, she walked to the restaurant, holding Lin Xu’s arm with one hand and munching on a spring roll with the other.

"Xu, what else can you make with the Dry Pot Sauce you made last night besides cauliflower?"

"I can make whatever you want to eat."

"Really? Then can I have Dry Pot Duck Head?"

"Whatever my Baobao wants to eat, it has to be possible, even if it isn’t!"

Although the Dry Pot Sauce was just a basic version, its strength lay in its adaptability; it could be endlessly adjusted with additional seasonings and ingredients.

A mere Dry Pot Duck Head was certainly no challenge.

Back at the restaurant, after breakfast, everyone got busy with their tasks.

Zeng Xiaoqi didn’t come in today. A colleague at the TV station was getting married, and not only did she have to give a gift, but she also had to be the emcee.

TSK! Doling out money, putting in effort, and being subjected to public displays of affection all day.

Truly a perfect day.

After finishing the tasks at hand, Lin Xu checked the time. It was nearly ten, and Old Huang still hadn’t shown up. Is he planning to stand me up?

To avoid delaying the staff meal at noon, he took out the cauliflower the kitchen hand had bought, preparing to cook it.

Cauliflower came in two types.

One was the firm-budded type, with white, relatively short stems and florets pressed densely together. It had a harder texture and was more suitable for stews or hotpot.

The other was the loose-budded type, with long, green stems and loosely formed florets. It had a crisp texture, and restaurants often called it organic cauliflower.

Actually, this was just a matter of variety and had little to do with whether it was organic.

Loose-budded cauliflower was the best choice for dishes like large bowl cauliflower, Dry Pot Cauliflower, and dry-fried cauliflower. The one the kitchen hand had bought was precisely this type.

Using a kitchen knife, he cut the florets from the main stalk, ensuring the stems attached to them weren’t too long, or they wouldn’t cook easily. Larger florets were cut into smaller pieces.

The remaining main stalk wouldn’t be wasted either. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Tossed into the pickling jar, it would soon turn into crisp and delicious pickled stalks.

He then soaked the cut florets in salted water. Soaking cauliflower in salted water effectively removed hidden dirt and also drew out any small insects lurking inside.

After setting them to soak, Old Huang was still nowhere in sight.

Lin Xu picked up the phone and called him. Soon, Old Huang’s voice came through:

"I won’t make it this morning. The couple at the pigeon farm had a fight, which delayed things. Several suppliers are queued up for their deliveries. You guys go ahead and eat first. I’ll head over to the restaurant when I get the pigeons."

Well, this was really something...

The pigeon farm stood up Old Huang, Old Huang then stood me up, and now I have to break my promise to Dundun about the pigeon meat.

It was a classic case of infinite nesting dolls.

The cauliflower couldn’t soak for too long, or it would absorb too much water, making it difficult to cook.

He drained the cauliflower and placed it in a basket. While it was draining, he prepared the other ingredients needed for the Dry Pot Cauliflower.

He diagonally sliced green and red Erjingtiao peppers, smashed garlic cloves, minced ginger, and cut a few bird’s eye chilies into rings.
