Chapter 1481: Chapter 1478: Hungry Again?

"Go, go, go, go do your work. If I keep talking to you, Yi Bing will be starving!" Han Wenxi urged with a smile.

This time, Ah De didn’t say anything more, shrugged his shoulders, and quickly walked past with a tray.

Han Wenxi swiftly entered the kitchen, where there was only one chef. It was Ah Kun, who was skilled at making Chinese cuisine.

"Hey! Handsome Xi, what’s up, hungry again?" Ah Kun couldn’t help but laugh when he saw who it was. However, he found it strange since typically, Han Wenxi wasn’t a big eater and rarely snacked after meals.

"Haha, it’s not me who’s hungry, it’s Yi Bing. I’m here to make something for her to eat," Han Wenxi chuckled.

"Oh... oh... I understand. Hehe!" Ah Kun chuckled slyly. Then he craftily asked, "What does she like to eat? Just order something! I happen to be free right now!"

Han Wenxi took a few steps around this mere twenty square meter kitchen.

Finally he returned to stand in front of Ah Kun, his face slightly flushed, leaving the other person looking puzzled.

"Ah Kun, here’s the thing. I’d like... to make a few dishes myself for her. Sorry, but could I borrow your cooking station?" Han Wenxi said, his voice somewhat subdued.

"Oh, hahaha... So you’re planning a love dinner!" Ah Kun couldn’t help but burst into laughter. He immediately put down the large spoon, moved aside from his cooking station, and said with a smile, "Winning a girl’s heart is a good thing! How can I not support such a fine endeavor? Just as well, I’ll take this opportunity to head out and rest for a bit, hehe. Handsome Xi, go ahead and get busy! I’m heading out now!" With that, Ah Kun walked outside.

After Ah Kun left, Han Wenxi looked at the array of ingredients and couldn’t help but smile with delight.

"I’ll make her a kimchi pizza. She’ll definitely love it." Han Wenxi thought to himself, he often made such delicacies at home, and it was basically his signature dish.

But just a pizza might not be enough to fill her up. As Han Wenxi’s gaze landed on another table’s dish, his eyes lit up upon seeing some abalone meat sliced into thin slices. That’s it.

"Abalone porridge, making this is great. We have both bread and porridge, which is nutritious and perfect for slimming, they seem to pair well together." Han Wenxi couldn’t help but feel touched by his own creativity, really impressive, hehe. Adding a bottle of red wine, along with some sweet sticky rice cake, hmm, that would complete the set.

With these thoughts, Han Wenxi couldn’t hold back and put his ideas into action.

He lit the fire, and after some stirring and mixing, a medium-sized pizza was ready. He then used a small dish to hold some pickled cabbage, radishes, etc. OK, the kimchi pizza was done.

Next was the abalone porridge... haha, this wouldn’t be too difficult for him either.

He coated those thinly sliced abalone meat with fragrant oil, stir-fried them slightly, then added a little water and poured in pre-soaked cooked rice to simmer. After about ten minutes, the thick rice soup blended with the ingredients, emitting wisps of heat.

Unable to resist, he took a whiff with his nose. "Wow! Smells so good!" Han Wenxi exclaimed, scooping a small portion with a spoon, haha, nice, the taste is absolutely amazing. Yi Bing would definitely love it.

Han Wenxi carefully ladled the abalone porridge into a small clay pot, securely fastening the lid to retain the rich aroma.

"I wonder if she likes spicy food? Alright, I’ll just prepare some anyway." Han Wenxi pondered aloud, considering as he picked up another empty dish, filling it with thick red chili sauce. Under the lamp lights, the enticing red hue shone, sparking appetites.

All set. Haha. The last thing is sticky rice cake. It’s said that the sticky rice cake from Country H is full of knowledge, with red, yellow, green, white, and black cakes representing different human functions like heart, lungs, liver, senses, etc. Sweet, crumbly, deliciously tasty. This is a must-have!

However, this particular dessert from Country H led Han Wenxi on quite the search, as he combed through the kitchen twice but couldn’t find a trace of it.

How can there be none? Strange, where did Ah Kun put this stuff, Han Wenxi considered going out to ask, but didn’t want to disturb his rest, oh well, I’ll search again. Maybe it’s stored in the pantry? Usually, that’s where they keep fresh and cold items.

Thinking of this, Han Wenxi walked towards the door inside the kitchen, a door with a heavy, refrigerant-like handle. Han Wenxi gripped the metal handle firmly and forcefully pulled it open, stepping inside. It measured around twenty square meters and was filled with frozen stocks. Upon entering, an immediate chill enveloped him. Fearing it would affect the storage room’s temperature, Han Wenxi closed the door behind him, wrapping his jacket snugly around his chest.

Dizzy! It’s really a bit cold in here!

He then scanned swiftly, starting to search for the Korean-style sticky rice cake he needed....

While Han Wenxi was looking inside the storage room, a silent change occurred outside at the bar.

...

Fei Ge, wearing a gradient blue-striped shirt and black casual pants, approached the bar. Nearby, the server Ah De walked over.

"Fei Ge, a customer has a complaint..." Ah De began, but before he could finish, Fei Ge sensed something was wrong and stopped him from continuing, leading him to a hidden room behind the bar.

"Speak slowly, what’s the issue?" Fei Ge asked, his expression serious.

"Oh, it’s that same problem with Room 4 again. Customers say the smoke smell there is too strong, they can’t even go in. It’s the usual issue! Even if it’s discounted, with this kind of situation, people wouldn’t want it even if it were free," Ah De complained to the manager.

Fei Ge felt a jolt in his heart upon hearing this. Damn!

"Is the place next door firing up their grills again?"

Wow, the boss really is insightful. He guessed it right off.

"Exactly! We’ve sealed up all the places that should be sealed, but we can’t not turn on the air conditioner’s ventilator, didn’t expect smoke to come out from there..."

Listening, Fei Ge’s forehead creased.

"Did you check it out? Is it serious?" He asked promptly, a pair of cold, deep brown eyes revealing a hint of dark light.

"Yeah, I just checked. Since I came out from there, the situation’s not good! What to do, next door is running a Korean BBQ restaurant, basically connected to us, whenever they light their grills, we’re in trouble. Plus the smoke just keeps billowing over here."
