In front of Building No. 10, watching the white G-Class driving away, Guo Weidong said emotionally, "TSK TSK, look at this young man—so well-mannered and refreshing. He's nothing like that scoundrel Xie Baomin, who grabs anything he likes and runs off with it, just like a bandit king."

The head chef beside him gave a wry smile. "Chef Xie might like to snatch things, but even five of his hauls wouldn't match what you've given away this one time."

「Not long after leaving the Fishing Platform.」

Lin Xu suddenly received a call from Shen Jiayue. "Xu Bao, I was browsing Moments just now and saw Sister-in-law posted a photo of a roasted suckling pig at noon. She even claimed Senior Brother helped her steal it! When will you help me steal one too?"

At the engagement banquet, Lin Xu's senior's wife, Su Peipei, had attended with her two children, so she and the young couple had all added each other as friends.

Hearing Shen Baobao say this, Lin Xu was somewhat surprised. Sister-in-law usually posted about her children or educational articles on her Moments. She never mentioned Senior Brother, but now she even brought up stealing a suckling pig. After nearly twenty years together, are they just starting to spark?

He laughed and said to Shen Baobao, "I've also stolen something, just not a ready-made pig. I stole the recipe... This evening, I'll roast a suckling pig for you in the yard. How does that sound, Baobao?"

"Really?"

A high-pitched shriek of excitement immediately came from the phone. Clearly, she was thrilled by this news.

Lin Xu chuckled and said, "I'll go home and start marinating the suckling pig. When you get off work, we can roast it together in the yard. What do you think?"

"Yes, yes! I'll let Dad know so he can get off work early."

Turning into Yingchun Street, the staff were continuing their training in the new store.

Lin Xu, holding Dundun, greeted Dou Wenjing and Shu Yun, then drove back to the villa.

Later, when roasting the suckling pig, he planned to leave one hind leg unseasoned, so Dundun could also taste the piglet.

「At five in the afternoon.」

Under the shade of the trees in the yard, the charcoal in the grill was burning, emitting a faint fruity smell.

Lin Xu, holding a long fork, positioned it over the grill. Following the roasting method Guo Weidong had taught him, he first dried the skin, then wrapped the limbs, tail, and pig ears in aluminum foil. He roasted the meat inside the belly until it was cooked through before moving on to the back.

As he was roasting, Shen Guofu, just back from work, brought over a plate of sliced steamed buns and arranged them on a mini grill next to the main one.

After arranging the buns, he lit a cigar, sat next to Lin Xu, and watched the suckling pig on the spit, blowing out a puff of smoke. "As a kid, I really loved the smell of sun-dried quilts. I thought it was so fragrant. Later, your mother-in-law told me that was the smell of mites getting scorched by ultraviolet rays..."

He flipped a slice of steamed bun that was too close to the charcoal with a bamboo skewer and continued, "That's when I realized, what I'd always liked wasn't the sunshine, but barbecue."

At that moment, Lin Xu thought his father-in-law looked like a poet with an empty stomach. Yeah, he couldn't come up with such down-to-earth poetry without skipping meals for a few days.

The father and son-in-law chatted sporadically. Meanwhile, Shen Baobao, changed into casual clothes, came over carrying two small dishes.

First, she brushed a thin layer of light oil onto the steamed bun slices with a small brush. Once they were roasted to a golden brown, she sprinkled some spicy barbecue seasoning on them.

A batch of barbecue-flavored grilled steamed bun slices was ready.

She happily took a bite. "WOW, these are crispy and delicious! Dad, did you also eat barbecue like this when you were young?"

"Back then, who could afford to brush them with oil? And we didn't have all these spices. Having some Chili Powder was already great... Girl, take a few slices to your mom. She likes these barbecue-flavored steamed bun slices."

"Mom's not eating," she replied. "She said her throat is a bit uncomfortable."

Hearing this, Lin Xu suggested, "You could roast some toast for Mom to try. Sprinkle some sugar on it when both sides are golden brown; it tastes pretty good too."

"I'll give it a try," Shen Baobao said. "Aunt Liu just made some toast."

"Girl, bring a few more slices. I want to try some too."

"Okay!"

While father and daughter were grilling steamed bun slices and toast, Lin Xu entered the Points Mall.

He found that in addition to the existing sections for Cooking Skills, Dish Skills, Life Skills, and Special Prop Skill, a new section called Teaching Training Task had been added.

After clicking on it, instead of specific redemption items, a list of kitchen staff names appeared.

He casually clicked on Ji Minghui's name, and it displayed the techniques Master Ji possessed: Perfect Level Dough Technique, Superior Rolling Technique, and Excellent Level Filling Adjustment Technique...

All of Master Ji's techniques were related to pastry. None were shown for main dishes, probably because they hadn't reached the Qualified Level.

Seeing the Rolling Technique listed as Superior, Lin Xu casually clicked on it.

A prompt immediately popped up: "Redeem Perfect Level Rolling Technique teaching training task for 700,000 points. Proceed with the redemption?"

Lin Xu: ???????

Just a task, not even a direct upgrade, and it still costs 700,000 points! To think that Dundun only cost 440,000 points after the discount... Has the system switched to using the Vietnamese Dong? Why is inflation getting so severe?

Right now, his points balance was still -600,000. He couldn't redeem it and could only vent his frustration on the grilled steamed bun slices and toast Shen Baobao had prepared.

He had to admit, after grilling, both the steamed bun slices and the toast had a unique texture. Delicious!

「Friday afternoon, almost six o'clock.」

The living room of the Shen Family villa was filled with relatives.

Today was the broadcast day for *Flavors of the World*. Shen Guofu had gathered all their relatives to watch the premiere of his son-in-law's show on the 100-inch Sony TV in the living room.
