Zongman: The chef who is not doing his job

"Of course, this is all in the past. It has little to do with you. It's unknown when he will make a comeback." Nakiri Senzaemon waved his hand calmly and continued:

"To put it simply, Old Man Hong is not a jerk. Your matter has nothing to do with him. Old Man Lan has already asked him in person, and Old Man Hong is not aware of it."

At this point, Nakiri Senzaemon glanced at Wang Lin with a pity look in his eyes: "You just happened to be unlucky and got tricked by old man Hong's men! The main thing is that the quota has already been decided and announced, so it can't be changed."

Wang Lin (′-i_-｀): “The more you explain, the angrier I get! I don’t want to return it! Fuck!”

"Don't! Not at all!" Nakiri Senzaemon hurriedly consoled him, "The Hong family still has a lot of good things! Besides, old man Hong has no descendants, so there's no one to inherit his things. If you need anything, just ask! You're welcome!"

"Is that senior really alone?" Wang Lin asked with a frown.

According to Nakiri Senzaemon, this senior really devoted himself to the cause. He once fought on the front line and sent his three children to the battlefield and never came back. Such a hero is now alone...

Although Wang Lin had been cheated before, it was not a big deal and Wang Lin would not bear a grudge against him for the rest of his life.

Listening to it now, I do feel a little sorry for this old senior.

"I have an adopted daughter, and she's only three years older than you... well, she's quite pretty! She's three years older than you, and she's a treasure. If you're interested in marrying into the Hong family, maybe you can even inherit the Hong family." Nakiri Senzaemon smiled frivolously.

"Climb! Impossible!" Wang Lin raised his middle finger decisively: "Sister Liu and the two people from Xiaobai's family told me so! Why didn't I agree to them! Don't you know what's going on?"

Marry into the wife's family? It's impossible in this life! After traveling through time and space! You still want me to be the one below? Impossible! Wang Lin's ambition is to have them all!

Ahem! It's possible! Really!

"Yeah, I guess so!" Nakiri Senzaemon nodded calmly.

However, Erina, who was standing next to him, was gradually shocked when she saw Wang Lin's expression. She didn't expect that this bastard boy would be so popular? Several top culinary families in Daxia were vying for him?

"Then take a look at my house..." Nakiri Senzaemon suddenly asked this question for some unknown reason.

Wang Lin and Erina were both shocked! Grandpa! Have you thought about what you said?

"Hehe! What I mean is! Between Erina and the divine tongue of the Liu family, who is better!" Nakiri Senzaemon suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing.

Wang Lin glanced at Erina and pouted his lips in disdain: "There is no comparison. Except that Xiong is a little bigger than Sister Liu, the rest, whether it's appearance, height, leg length, figure, or cooking skills, are all incomparable!"

"Well, that means my tsundere and odd-colored hair attributes can add a few points!"

"You!" Miss Divine Tongue glared at Wang Lin! Am I as bad as you say?

Nakiri Senzaemon's mouth twitched wildly. He just asked about cooking skills, but he didn't expect Wang Lin to seriously analyze and compare Erina's whole body! Even including her cooking skills...

"Then I'll leave it to you! Erina may have a competition with your sister Liu in a year, so during this time I'll ask you to learn about Erina's cooking skills!" Nakiri Senzaemon said calmly.

Wang Lin was confused: "No, Commander! What on earth are you here for?"

The old fox Nakiri raised two fingers and said, "First, I'll convince you to return the Jade Dragon Pot to old man Hong. Now it seems that this has been basically accomplished!"

"Second, you're fooling me... Bah! I'm trying to convince you to teach Erina how to cook! This will help her win the food battle against that god-tongue of the Liu family in a year!"

"I haven't agreed to return it yet..." Wang Lin muttered unhappily. However, Nakiri Senzaemon was right, he did have the idea of ​​returning it.

Anyway, keeping this thing with him just has more symbolic meaning.

It would be better to return it to the Hong family. After all, the Hong family still has another bowl, um, the one with the Tyrant Dragon pattern. The Jade Dragon Pot can only be used in pair!

"Wait! How come Sister Liu and Erina have a food battle? They have nothing in common, right?" Wang Lin suddenly reacted and asked. As far as he knew, his Sister Liu had never left Daxia!

How could he have any connection with Erina? This is unscientific! It is also unreasonable!

Nakiri Senzaemon shook his head and said, "This involves the secrets of the Liu and Nakiri families! I can't easily tell outsiders!"

"It's okay. If you don't tell me, I won't teach you!" Wang Lin said with a smile.

Nakiri Senzaemon rolled his eyes speechlessly. This little fox! He didn't release the eagle until he saw the rabbit! He could only explain: "The Nakiri family and the Liu family have a connection! The Nakiri family is actually a branch of the Liu family!"

"Puff! What did you say?!" When Wang Lin heard what Nakiri Senzaemon said, the tea in his mouth sprayed out.

In response, Nakiri Senzaemon continued to explain calmly: "So, every four years, we and the Liu family will have a food battle for the Eternal Blade to decide who will own the Eternal Blade for the next four years."

Wang Lin: “…6!”

"Now, can you teach?" Nakiri Senzaemon calmly took a sip of tea.

"...Can I go back on my word?" Wang Lin complained.

"Hmph! I don't want you to teach me! What can you teach me?" Miss Erina shook her head in disdain, but just said that. When it comes to cooking skills, she still recognizes Wang Lin's ability. He is indeed better than her now!

“Tsk tsk tsk!” Wang Lin curled his lips and said, “General! You have to understand! Sister Liu is my childhood sweetheart! She’s my dearest friend! Our relationship is like that of siblings!”

"...You have to pay more!"

Nakiri Senzaemon and Erina: “…6!”

"I'm kidding." Wang Lin spread his hands and said, "I've already told you that I don't know how to teach students. What do you want me to teach Miss? Cooking shouldn't be something that I need to teach her, right?"

“No need. Just let her follow you more and walk around and have a look.” Nakiri Senzaemon obviously did not give up the idea of ​​causing trouble for Wang Lin, and continued: “Don’t worry too much. Just think of it as having an extra waiter in the store!”

Nakiri Senzaemon's words stunned both Wang Lin and Miss Erina.

"Grandpa! What do you mean?" Erina asked in disbelief. This is not what we said before we came!

“…Old man, you said you would take the young lady back with you, but my temple is too small to accommodate such a huge Buddha!” Wang Lin did not dare to keep her. If he really kept the young lady of Divine Tongue in his shop, it would be a big trouble!

(What does this old fox Nakiri mean... Wait! Could it be that...) Wang Lin suddenly had an idea, so he asked Nakiri Senzaemon leisurely:

"Commander-in-Chief, I ran into Eishan Ezuya yesterday. Did you know that he had been in contact with that person recently, and that person was planning to return to Japan..."

Hearing Wang Lin's words, Nakiri Senzaemon was surprised. He stared at Wang Lin for a long time with his eyes wide open before he replied leisurely, "You...you are much more powerful than I thought!"

Wang Linヽ(￣д￣;)ノ: "...Uncle! I just asked casually! And I asked the right question?"

"Hey! What are you talking about? Can you stop talking in riddles?" Miss Erina asked in confusion.

"Your father will be back soon." Wang Lin said calmly.

Erina(?_?): “…”

Seeing that her grandfather nodded silently, Miss Erina's mouth twitched, and she chose to follow her heart and smiled awkwardly: "Um... Wang Lin, why don't I stay in your shop for a while?"

"To be honest, Miss, I still like your rebellious look just now! Really!" Wang Lin rolled his eyes speechlessly. Miss, are you scared now?

"Hey! What do you mean? Are you still not happy?" Miss Erina said with her hands on her hips in dissatisfaction.

"With pleasure! How could I not be happy? Miss, welcome to stay here! There are a lot of empty rooms upstairs anyway, just don't mind that my temple is small!" Wang Lin could only spread his hands helplessly and pointed upwards.

"It's settled then. I'll have someone deliver Erina's daily necessities now. Erina will be in your care for the rest of the time, Wang Lin." Nakiri Senzaemon waved his hand and the deal was made immediately.

Wang Lin always felt tired. He had realized that he had fallen into the trap of this old fox! From the beginning of the conversation! He was led by the nose by Nakiri Senzaemon!

"Aren't you two afraid that if Erina stays with me, rumors will spread? Or that someone will get killed accidentally?" Wang Lin tried to make a final struggle with an expressionless face.

"BT!" Before the old man could say anything, Miss Erina pointed at Wang Lin and said shyly.
