This Person Is Too Much!

Pushed the food cart into the kitchen.

Head chef Li Zeguang began to prepare the ingredients. Before starting, he mentally estimated the price of these ingredients.

A King Crab weighing over three kilograms would cost at least 2,000 yuan. Five hundred grams of A5 Wagyu was about 1,000 yuan. Two hundred grams of Iberian Ham was around 8,900 yuan. One hundred grams of Sturgeon Caviar was about 1,200 yuan.

These main ingredients were the most expensive. Adding in various side ingredients like Matsutake Mushroom, Black Truffle, Saffron, and edible Gold Leaf, this grand hamburger feast was worth six to seven thousand yuan.

Oh, and he hadn't even included that bottle of Kobe Natural Mineral Water, which cost about 1,500 yuan.

To eat a hamburger, he spent nearly 10,000 yuan!

Head chef Li Zeguang glanced at Li Xian, who was playing on his phone, with a complex expression. He sighed inwardly, The thoughts of rich people are so hard to understand. With so many top-tier ingredients, he could have made much more delicious food, but he insisted on... Sigh, why think so much? I'll just do my job well and make him satisfied.

Li Xian had no idea the head chef was having so many inner monologues. He had just taken photos of the ingredients and was about to post them to his Moments.

However, after a moment's thought, he didn't post them. Instead, he found Dong Linlin's VX.

Mission! The mission is the most important thing!

Li Xian narrowed his eyes, a sly smile curving his lips. He tapped his phone screen lightly and sent a few messages.

"Are you busy?"

"Have you eaten dinner?"

"Even if you're busy, don't forget to eat dinner."

After waiting for a while and receiving no reply, Li Xian pouted. He sent the photos he had just taken, adding a message below.

"Tonight's dinner, I'm planning to have a simple hamburger."

Sigh~ This isn't too much, is it?

It shouldn't be!

I haven't even used the phrase "unpretentious and simple" yet. That word is the real critical hit.

Li Xian nonchalantly put away his phone and glanced at the workbench. The head chef over there had already started preparing the ingredients.

He watched as the chef skillfully removed the crab legs, then used scissors to cut open the hard shell, and finally extracted the crab meat.

Chef Li meticulously removed the crab meat. It took nearly ten minutes to process the entire King Crab, filling a plate full of crab meat.

He turned on the stove and heated the pan. Once the bottom of the pan reached a certain temperature, he added a pat of butter.

The butter melted quickly with a "sizzling..." sound. He placed the crab leg meat into the pan to sear, and the aroma filled the air.

While the crab meat was searing in the pan, he didn't stop working with his hands, methodically preparing the beef. He cut the entire piece of Wagyu into strips along the grain.

When the crab meat in the pan turned golden brown, he casually sprinkled it with salt and black pepper, then immediately prepared to sear the beef.

The entire process was smooth and efficient, showing his expertise.

Li Xian thought he might be lacking an assistant and was about to offer help, but seeing how efficient he was once he got into the zone, he had no choice but to stand aside and watch, deciding not to cause any trouble.

As Mr. Lu Xun said, professional matters should be left to professionals.

After a while, seeing all the ingredients layered between two buns, and finally topped with gold leaf, Li Xian leaned over and asked, "Can I eat it now?"

He couldn't wait any longer, his mouth watering uncontrollably.

Li Zeguang turned his head and smiled at him, saying, "Patience, there's just one last step."

With that, he placed the hamburger in the center of an empty plate. Then he brought over some lettuce, tomatoes, and sliced black truffles, arranging them on both sides of the hamburger.

Next, he placed a small spoonful of caviar on top of the lettuce leaves, and finally sprinkled some black pepper as a garnish. The exquisite plating was complete.

Li Xian couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, thinking, It's just a hamburger, but it's become a ritual.

Li Zeguang was clearly satisfied with his work and nodded inwardly. He turned to Li Xian and said softly, "Mr. Li, please taste it."

"Mmm..." Li Xian responded, but didn't rush to start. Instead, he took out his phone and took photos from two angles.

The gold-leaf-covered hamburger was already extremely luxurious, and with the exquisite plating, its classiness had increased by more than a little.

If he didn't take a couple of photos, it would really be a disservice to the hardworking chef.

And if he didn't post to Moments, it would be a disservice to such an unpretentious and simple dinner.

He first sent it to Dong Linlin, then posted it to Moments with a caption: "Eating hamburgers tonight."

Li Xian eagerly picked up the hamburger and took a big bite, chewing the food and making "Mmm~~ Mmm mmm~~~" sounds.

He couldn't help but close his eyes slightly, savoring the deliciousness. The King Crab, Iberian Ham, Matsutake Mushroom, Black Truffle, and Caviar in his mouth combined perfectly; the taste was unimaginable.

When he finally bit into the Wagyu, the sensation in his mouth reached a whole new level.

"Mmm mmm~~~ Mmm~~" Li Xian opened his eyes, gave Li Zeguang a thumbs-up, and said, "Delicious, truly delicious. Chef, your skills are amazing!"

"Heh heh, thank you for the compliment," Li Zeguang smiled humbly and said, "Mr. Li, please just call me Kevin."

"Okay, Kevin," Li Xian urged, "You continue, you continue. Do you need any help?"

"No, no. Mr. Li, you just wait," Li Zeguang politely refused.

All the ingredients were already prepared; all that was left was plating, and there was no need for help.

Being praised for his cooking skills by Li Xian earlier had made him a little self-conscious. Such simple operations couldn't showcase his true culinary abilities. As for the taste, well, that went without saying; the ingredients alone crushed everything else.

Li Xian ate his burger while looking at his phone. Dong Linlin still hadn't replied, but his Moments feed had exploded.

In just a short while, there were over twenty likes and more than ten comments, with most people asking the same thing: whose burger was it and how much did it cost?

The reason was simple: the burger looked absolutely incredible.

Li Xian looked at his phone screen with a hint of helplessness and casually typed a reply: "All I can tell you is this burger is called the King Crab Beef Burger. As for who makes it, you'll have to find out for yourselves."

Around 8 PM, Haichuang Apartment.

Dong Linlin dragged her tired body through the door, hung her bag on the nearby coat rack, and started unbuttoning her blouse.

She quickly shed her outer layer and immediately felt much more relaxed.

Too lazy to change into loungewear, she curled up on the comfortable sofa with her phone.

After resting for a bit and recovering some energy, she started looking through her phone.

First, she checked her missed calls and unread text messages, then opened VX.

The work group chat was at the top, filled with work-related discussions she couldn't be bothered to read. She scrolled down.

There was the company management group, classmate groups, best friend groups, family groups, and more, filling up more than a full page.

Scrolling further down, she found messages from friends. She had been too busy with work in the afternoon to reply, so she decided to go through them all now, responding briefly to important ones and ignoring the rest.

Over the past two years, her busy work schedule had led to this habit. Unless it was work-related, she rarely chatted aimlessly on VX anymore; she lacked the interest and the time.

Of course, sometimes she would chat about topics women were interested in within her best friend groups. After all, she wasn't a work machine and needed to relax sometimes.

"This Brother Xian... is that Mr. Li?" Dong Linlin looked at the profile picture and had a vague impression, but she wasn't sure. So, she tapped on it to check the add time and personal information before confirming it was Li Xian.

"Have you eaten dinner?"

"No matter how busy you are, don't forget to eat dinner."

"Tonight's dinner: a simple burger."

Dong Linlin scrolled through the messages, her expression gradually stiffening. Seeing the pictures and the burger at the end made her stomach churn, rumbling loudly.

Dong Linlin swallowed hard, feeling a mix of annoyance and amusement. She muttered, "Mr. Li, why are you like this!"

She had only grabbed a quick bite for lunch earlier. Perhaps she had already gotten over her hunger, as she hadn't felt anything then. Now, these pictures had inexplicably whetted her appetite.

Dong Linlin gloomily rubbed her smooth abdomen, quickly closing VX with her other hand.

"I just rejected one meal from you, you don't have to do this," Dong Linlin felt speechless at Li Xian's actions, even finding them childish. But she had to admit, it had certainly caught her attention.

After a while, the discomfort in her stomach lessened. She reopened VX and politely replied to Li Xian.

"I've eaten, thank you!"

After replying, she tossed her phone onto the sofa, got up, and went to the bathroom. About half an hour later, after showering and changing into a short loungewear set, she went to the kitchen.

After tinkering in the kitchen for about ten minutes, Dong Linlin brought a steaming bowl of Shin Ramyun back to the living room.

She sat on the sofa and slurped down a mouthful of the hot broth, then picked up a poached egg, took a bite, chewed, and swallowed. She immediately felt refreshed all over.

"The noodles I make myself are still the best," Dong Linlin said with a satisfied smile. She immediately took another sip of soup and popped the remaining poached egg into her mouth.

Just then, her phone vibrated.

She instinctively picked it up to check. It was a message from Li Xian.

"Are you having a late-night snack?"

"No matter how busy you are, don't forget to have a late-night snack."

"Tonight's late-night snack: a simple Grilled Cold Noodles."

Dong Linlin's mouth fell open, and the half-chewed poached egg dropped back into the bowl.

Looking at the accompanying pictures behind the message, she furrowed her brow tightly and squeezed out a few words, "This is too much!"
