Xin Xin's Bias
"I think he wouldn't want to come back after tasting my cooking, he's afraid of being poisoned … …" Guan Xin explained sheepishly.
"Ah … …" Lin Yi had more or less guessed Guan Xin's intentions. Guan Xuemin had praised his granddaughter to Lin Yi more than once, saying that she was a good cook and a well-mannered person. Lin Yi naturally understood the old man's intentions.
Guan Xuemin, on the other hand, must've told Guan Xin something similar back at home as well. It was only natural that Guan Xin was conflicted. Any girl wouldn't be too happy if they were told that a handsome young man was coming to their house, asking them to get to know him better.
"You-!" Guan Xuemin was pissed off- this was the first time he'd lost face. "Lin Yi is my guest, how could you do this? It's fine if you guys know each other, but if it were someone you don't know, they'd be slamming the door and walking out already! How is this treating someone to a meal? You're trying to poison him to death!
"I'm sorry, grandpa … …" Guan Xin lowered her head, realizing that she'd gone too far. She hadn't thought too much about it before, she'd only wanted the young man to leave as soon as possible. Now that she thought about it, where would her grandpa's face go?
"Haha, it's fine, Grandpa Guan. Don't blame Guan Xin." Lin Yi smiled. "Actually, to tell you the truth, you kept telling me how good your granddaughter was, and I didn't even dare to visit you. It's normal for Guan Xin to feel the same way."
"Is that so? So I'm the one worrying too much then? " Guan Xuemin thought about it for a moment. It seemed like he'd been a little too hasty, so he shook his head. "Alright, let Auntie Liu make a few dishes!"
"I'll go … …" Guan Xin stood up, a little embarrassed.
It was a bit of a shame that all the dishes on the table were picked up, but it wasn't something a normal person could eat. Lin Yi changed the topic to medicine, and Guan Xuemin quickly forgot about the previous unpleasantness. He excitedly discussed the prescription with Lin Yi …
Guan Xuemin had completely forgotten what had happened when Guan Xin brought a few steaming hot dishes to the table. "Xin Xin, come pour grandpa some wine!"
"Hmm … …" Guan Xin looked at Lin Yi suspiciously. Was this man really that mysterious? Not only was he skilled, but he also knew medicine? It wasn't easy for a person to receive such high praise from his grandfather!
Guan Xin's subsequent dishes were quite ordinary. A plate of scrambled eggs with green onions, a plate of mushrooms, a plate of tofu, a plate of cucumber, and a bowl of sour and spicy egg soup were all served piping hot.
Four ordinary home-cooked dishes and an ordinary soup were cooked to perfection in Guan Xin's hands.
"Try it again this time … …" Guan Xin said to Lin Yi, a little embarrassed as she poured wine for her grandfather.
Lin Yi nodded and picked up a piece of mushrooms with his chopsticks. "Eh?" He thought to himself. She's actually catching up to my level?
"How is it?" Guan Xin didn't know if Lin Yi's "eh" was good or bad. She looked at Lin Yi nervously, waiting for his answer. But for these home-cooked dishes, Guan Xin had given it her all, bringing out the Young Divine Chef's abilities to the extreme.
"I didn't think home-cooked food could be this good!" Lin Yi praised. Old Lin always praised him like this … …
"Then … eat more!" Guan Xin was a little happy. She pursed her lips into a smile. "Try something else … …"
"Okay." Lin Yi nodded and put a few more mouthfuls from the other dishes into his mouth. "Grandpa Guan, I finally know that what you said before was true. Guan Xin really is the Young Divine Chef!"
"That's right!" Guan Xuemin nodded. "So? If you want to eat more, you'll have to come here often! "
"No problem." Lin Yi nodded happily.
Xuemin had a taste of Guan Xin's new dishes, frowning as he took a bite. "Xin Xin, aren't you being biased? I've tried these dishes before, why aren't they as good as today's? It looks like Lin Yi's treatment is different now that he's here. The poisoned dishes from before are upgraded to delicious food that even I've never tasted before … … "
"Grandpa … …" Guan Xin was a little embarrassed by Xuemin's words.
"Haha, Lil 'Yi, it looks like you'll have to come more often. This old man will have to enjoy the delicious food with you!" Guan Xuemin smiled.
"I'll definitely come more often … …" Lin Yi nodded. He was here because of Guan Xuemin's invitation, but also because he wanted to discuss the medical company with Guan Xuemin. If that were to happen, he'd have to come here more often.
Guan Xin was a little embarrassed as she looked at Lin Yi. She was a little surprised, but also a little lost … … It seemed like she had a chance again? If he came here more often, then their relationship would definitely improve. But … … was this the right thing to do?
After dinner, Guan Xin went to clean up the dishes while Lin Yi and Guan Xuemin went upstairs to Guan Xuemin's study.
Lin Yi's expression returned to a serious one as he closed the door. "Grandpa Guan, I actually have something important to discuss with you this time."
"Oh? What is it? " Guan Xuemin paused. He didn't think that Lin Yi would have something to discuss with him. He'd originally wanted to discuss the condition of Liu Tianyi's father, Liu Zhenhu, with Lin Yi.
Guan Xuemin could barely control Liu Zhenhu's angina, but couldn't cure it. So he wanted to discuss it with Lin Yi and see if there was anything he could come up with.
But since Lin Yi had something to discuss, he'd talk about Lin Yi first.
"Grandpa Guan, I'd like to start a medical company and sell some Chinese medicine," Lin Yi got straight to the point, "I'd like to borrow your title as Miracle Doctor Guan."
"Oh? You want to start a medical company? " Guan Xuemin paused, but didn't really care about what Lin Yi said. "There's a lot of medical companies in the country right now. If I don't have any special medicine, I won't be able to make much of an impact with just my name alone … …"
"If Doctor Kang can use Golden Creation to become one of the top medical companies in the country, why can't we?" Lin Yi smiled nonchalantly. "He has Golden Creation, so we can make Rejuvenation Pill and Blood Clotting Powder. There are a lot of similar names in wuxia novels anyways."
"Oh?" Guan Xuemin paused. "You have the recipe for Golden Creation?"
