"For domestically imported salmon, 8 kilograms is considered very big. The one I took today just arrived this morning. Look at the fish's eyes, they're still clear. "Lu Jinling held a sharp knife and danced on the salmon while she introduced it.
In Ling Ran and the others' eyes, regardless of how good she was at slicing the fish, her posture was quite professional.
It was only when the rosy salmon was placed on a white porcelain plate that everyone's gazes shifted slightly.
"Try it?" Lu Jinling placed three pieces of salmon on a plate and took the initiative to pass it to Ling Ran.
The large plates and the small amount of food looked very French, very Japanese, and very luxurious.
Ling Ran did not act pretentiously. He took a pair of chopsticks and picked up a piece of salmon. He did not dip it in any sauce and just stuffed it into his mouth.
The slightly cold fish entered his throat. It was first slightly fresh and sweet, then inexplicably tender and smooth.
The raw food that foreigners liked seemed to value tenderness and smoothness. It was the same for salmon and oysters. The degree of importance they attached to it was like the Chinese saying that it "melts in the mouth".
"Is it delicious?" Lu Jinling smiled. If she did not have exaggerated eyeshadow, she would have the demeanor of a girl next door.
Ling Ran really meant tasting it. His eyes even lit up. He said, "It's fresher than what we buy ourselves. It's a little sweeter."
His mother, Tao Ping, had always been a fashionista. She had even made her own sushi and sashimi.
Ling Ran did not dislike it, nor was he passionate about it. His love for it was about the same as his love for braised lamb. He liked it a little less than braised beef, but he liked it a little more than braised fish. He was willing to eat it when he saw it, and he would not miss it even if he did not have it.
Lu Jinling said proudly, "All of Yun Hua's salmon are in our hands. You can buy it yourself. The imported fish from other places are not as fresh as ours. We picked the leftovers from the local ones. "
As Lu Jinling spoke, she waved the chef's knife that was half the length of her arm and filled a plate with three slices. She passed it to Tao Ping and said, "Try it too."
"Thank you." Tao Ping smiled and glanced at Ling Ran.
"Does it taste good?" Lu Jinling asked again.
"It's pretty good." Tao Ping nodded slightly.
"Then, how about I be your daughter-in-law?" Lu Jinling held the chef's knife and looked calm.
Tao Ping almost spat out the fish in her mouth.
Ling Ran also raised his eyelids.
He had heard of Jianghu women who dared to hate and love, but he did not expect the real Jianghu women to be so 'straightforward'.
Such a person might not even pass the Davos Cognitive Bias Scale. Ling Ran's score was lower than the maximum by 0.55 points, and he did not have high hopes for Lu Jinling.
"Just kidding." Lu Jinling didn't wait for everyone to come back to their senses and took back her words. She smiled and said, "I'm not ready to get married yet."
At this moment, Ling Jiezhou stared at the chef's knife in Lu Jinling's hand, and he regretted letting her enter the kitchen.
He patted his stomach and quickly changed the topic. He said to Yang Zhongshu, who was in a wheelchair, "Old Yang, how's your hand?"
"Yes, yes, your hand is fine." Yang Zhongshu was a little embarrassed as he said, "I went to Yun Hua Hospital for a checkup. They said that it's all thanks to Ling Ran's good sutures that my hand can recover to this state."
Yang Zhongshu pulled Yang Hu back and said, "My son made a big fuss the other day. We're here today to apologize."
Lu Jinling's eyelids twitched when she heard that, and she asked Ling Ran, "Did they offend you?"
"Not really." Ling Ran's emotions were relatively calm. He was not mentally ill, so why would he cut someone just because they had a bad attitude? Besides, as a surgeon, he should have basic anatomy when he cut someone. It was basic ethics to cut someone when it hurt but not hurt.
Lu Jinling picked up a piece of salmon with the tip of the knife and ate it. She said, "If anyone offended you, just tell them. My brother and I have our ways in Yun Hua. We're especially good at dealing with villains. "
"I understand." Ling Ran politely declined.
"We won't take your money. My brother said that you can sew your tattoo back, so this is your standard. There are not many people in Yun Hua who can compare to you. " As Lu Jinling gave him a thumbs up, she straightened her back like a racer about to start a race. Her small chest puffed up, and it made people dizzy.
Ling Ran suddenly felt a little dazzled, not because of her impressive figure, but because she gave him a thumbs up.
It was very beautiful. The first knuckle had a natural curve, and the curve from the base of the finger to the tip of the finger was like a string that was gently pressed down. It was soft, beautiful, and tough …
Her delicate skin had a tinge of pink to it.
He looked at her right hand again. At that moment, she was holding the sharp knife used to kill the fish, and it seemed to feel good.
"Didn't you want to apologize? We're waiting … "Lu Jinling stabbed the sharp knife into the chopping board with a thud, as if she was asking Yang Hu and Yang Zhongshu for a debt.
Yang Hu felt a little bitter.
Modern people were not used to apologizing. If he was asked to apologize casually, he would have to swing his wheelchair at the door. If he apologized in a serious manner, it would be even more embarrassing for him.
"Hu, take out the silk banner that we made." Yang Zhongshu had been a small boss for many years, and he did not care about his pride.
Yang Hu seemed to have been woken up all of a sudden, and he quickly took out the silk banner from his bag.
The silk banner was 1.2 meters long and 60 centimeters wide. It was considered a good design. It was bright red, and there were silk-like tassels on it. It looked very nice when it was hung up.
Ling Jiezhou smiled and hung it on the wall. He even deliberately smoothed out the tassels at the bottom and said to Ling Ran, "From now on, this wall in our main hall is reserved for you."
His expression and tone were the same as when he hung the big red flower in Ling Ran's kindergarten.
"Magic hands? Can't you think of something new? "Lu Jinling was a little bored because she did not encounter the resistance and challenge she expected.
"Magic hands are good. It's just right to put it in the middle. First, it's a general reward, and later, we can give more detailed praise. If anyone thinks that Ling Ran is too young in the future, show him this. "Ling Jiezhou smoothly continued the conversation so that Boss Yang would not feel awkward.
After all, they were neighbors.
Yang Hu snapped out of his daze and smiled awkwardly. He then took out the red packet he prepared, bent down, and handed it to Ling Ran. He said, "I didn't pay you the consultation fee last time. I'm really sorry."
"It's okay." Ling Jiezhou took it and said, "I'll write you a receipt."
"No need, no need …"
"I still need it." Ling Jiezhou did not give him any chance to explain and went to count it.
When he took back the receipt, Yang Hu could not sit still anymore. He wanted to return the wheelchair.
Tao Ping pressed him down and said with a smile, "It's not suitable for you to walk right now. Just sit down first. It's a good thing to send a silk banner. We should be happy and lively. Let's not talk about apologizing."
Ling Jiezhou looked at Tao Ping in slight disbelief. In his impression, his wife did not seem to be someone who was so easy to talk to.
"Old Ling, go to Old Zhou's house and get two firecrackers. It'll be boring if the silk banner doesn't ring." Once Tao Ping said this, Ling Jiezhou felt relieved.
As expected, Tao Ping would not let the Yang family come and leave quietly.
Ling Jiezhou bought two firecrackers with 5,000 firecrackers. They were the largest firecrackers in the minimart.
Usually, they would only be used when worshiping ancestors, visiting tombs, and holding wedding banquets.
The crackling sound of the firecrackers startled the neighbors in the alley.
Those who were free naturally went downstairs and asked about it.
Then, they heard Ling Jiezhou laugh brightly and shout at the top of his voice.
"Today, Boss Yang came to hang a silk banner for our Ling Ran. I'm so happy!
"Our Ling Ran stitched up Boss Yang's severed hand.
"Boss Yang brought his son here to apologize. We're all neighbors. Let's not talk about apologizing. Let's just light a few firecrackers. Everyone will be happy."
Yang Zhongshu could not stay any longer. He returned to the knife-cut noodles restaurant early and left his wheelchair in the clinic.
The moment the two of them stepped out of the clinic, a small white box quietly landed in front of Ling Ran.
"Newbie Mission 'A Small Test of Skills' completed. You have treated Yang Zhongshu's hand and obtained satisfactory results. You have obtained a Basic Treasure Chest." The system's voice rang in Ling Ran's mind.
The small white box was placed on the chopping board, but everyone ignored it.
Ling Ran had an idea. He touched the small white box with his hand.
The moment Ling Ran touched the treasure chest, he saw the box unlock itself and open its lid. Amid the brilliance, an item that looked like a test tube slowly floated up with a halo.
[Energy Serum. Restore your energy.]
In the blink of an eye, the serum and the treasure chest disappeared without a trace. Ling Ran only felt that a heavy object had suddenly appeared in his trouser pocket.
