Song Tiantian glanced at her watch and said, "In a few hours, we will end this trip. The guests in each group have helped and accompanied each other along the way."
"Next, please prepare a sumptuous lunch for your partners. The rule is that each guest must prepare three dishes: two meat dishes and one vegetable dish."
"Preparing lunch?"
"Right."
Are there any time restrictions?
Song Tiantian: "We need to be ready by 1 p. m., because at the current sailing speed, we should arrive at Binhai around 3 p. m."
"Three dishes, two meat and one vegetable... It would be great if this rule didn't exist."
Song Tiantian asked curiously, "What does Xingcan plan to do without this rule?"
Shen Xingcan bluntly stated, "Smashed cucumber, sugared tomatoes, and boiled eggs."
Xie Linchuan: "I should thank the production team for this rule, otherwise I would have had to eat this dish."
Shen Xingcan said to Xie Linchuan, "It's already good enough to have something to eat."
Xie Linchuan said sarcastically, "When I cook for you, you're already grateful that there's anything to eat, but when I cook for you, you're always picking and choosing."
Shen Xingcan ignored Xie Linchuan's sarcastic tone. "We kings always like to apply double standards. For lunch, I want sweet and sour fish and yam and pork rib soup. You can decide on the last dish."
Xie Linchuan asked leisurely, "And what about mine? What dishes are you planning to prepare for me?"
Shen Xingcan gave Xie Linchuan a profound look. "A top-notch chef naturally needs to see the ingredients before deciding what to make for lunch!"
Xie Linchuan: "..."
Shen Xingcan: "Foolish Xie Linchuan, just wait and you'll be amazed by Shen Xingcan's superb culinary skills."
Xie Linchuan: "..."
[A silent prayer for Best Actor Xie's stomach.]
[On the bright side, their boat should dock and take them to the hospital around 1 PM. Best Actor Xie only needs to endure it for two hours; if he eats slowly, it will be even shorter.]
[You guys are really something, hahaha.]
[Actually, Xingcan might be a good cook; I saw him helping out with Best Actor Xie before, and he did a pretty good job.]
[It's also possible that he only knows that one step.]
The cruise ship they were on could accommodate 500 people at the same time, so the central kitchen of such a ship would naturally be quite large.
After explaining how to use the various items to the guests, the kitchen staff all left the kitchen.
Shen Xingcan stood in front of various vegetables, fish, and meat, carrying a basket, and began to select the ingredients she needed.
He looked very professional, but only Shen Xingcan knew that he was just thinking about what dishes were easy to make and didn't require specific cooking skills.
Although he disliked Xie Linchuan, Xie was still someone he liked, so he couldn't very well poison him to death.
So what should he choose so as not to poison Xie Linchuan?
Shen Xingcan fell into deep thought.
"Do top-tier chefs achieve a spiritual resonance with the ingredients?"
Seeing Shen Xingcan standing there intently staring at the various ingredients, Xie Linchuan teased her.
Shen Xingcan: "..."
Let's just poison him.
He haphazardly picked out some things and put them in his basket. As he turned to go back to his stove, he made sure to deliberately walk over Xie Linchuan's feet.
Xie Linchuan: "You deliberately step on others when you're angry? Shen Xingcan, are you a three-year-old?"
Shen Xingcan lied through her teeth. "I didn't do it on purpose, it was an accident, but if you were any more noticeable, I wouldn't have stepped on you."
"You step on someone and then blame them for not being noticeable? Shen Xingcan, you're really being unreasonable."
Shen Xingcan retorted stubbornly, "What I said is all true, otherwise why wouldn't I go and trample on Jiang Xiaobai? Forget it, there's no point in arguing with someone like you. I'm going to start cooking now."
Xie Linchuan chuckled, "No wonder so many people call you a cunning and Evil Ragdoll; you really are wicked."
Shen Xingcan turned around and glared at him. "You're the Evil Ragdoll!"
