Chapter 860: A Huge Plate of Braised Eggplant

"What are you back for? Go eat quickly, don't waste time; I still need some time here."

Facing the dismissal, Ning Chen made no move.

"What kind of talk is that? I'm just waiting for you here a bit; we'll go in together shortly. After all, it doesn't matter when we enter."

Ning Chen's words moved Lin Yi a little; although Ning Chen usually spoke little, he was extremely good to him.

The people inside noticed that neither Lin Yi nor Ning Chen had gone to the table.

Seeing those two empty seats, everyone couldn't help but think, then they all moved out.

They all walked toward the outside of the Mushroom House, knowing clearly that the two were outside.

After everyone had gathered, Ning Chen and Lin Yi both felt something was off.

Turning back, they saw everyone standing outside the Mushroom House, observing the two of them.

And the two, turning to look at the crowd, felt greatly comforted in their hearts.

They had thought everyone had gone off to feast, but unexpectedly, everyone was waiting for the two of them.

However, what Lin Yi needed to observe now was the grilled fish in his hand, which was nearly finished.

In this way, everything turned out perfectly for both sides.

Holding the grilled fish in hand, he walked toward the inside of the Mushroom House.

Now there were no empty seats left at the dining table.

However, Teacher San Lei did not go out, because he was still preparing the rice and dishes on the table.

"Hurry up and wash your hands; it's time to eat."

The dishes on the table were very abundant, especially Lin Yi's grilled fish, which looked exceptionally sumptuous.

"Lin Yi, are you a professional at grilling fish? Why is this fish grilled so well?"

"This is a task anyone can complete casually; only I did it slightly better."

Such self-praise without losing politeness, Lin Yi displayed to the fullest extent.

Besides the grilled fish, there was braised eggplant, a dish nominated by Ning Chen and Lin Yi while they were outside.

And amidst the busy afternoon.

Teacher San Lei did not forget the dish nominated by the two.

Moreover, the portion of this dish was extremely large, obviously made for Ning Chen and Lin Yi.

Seeing the portion of this dish, Ning Chen and Lin Yi were stunned; a whole plate.

Stacked like a human pyramid, very tall, with the sauce almost overflowing.

"This is the dish you two specifically requested; you must finish it, understand?"

The order had been given; this dish could not be left over.

However, one must act according to one's ability; such a portion not only surprised the two of them.

Others were even more surprised; Teacher San Lei always cooks according to portion sizes.

Almost nothing is left over, yet this time everyone felt Ning Chen and Lin Yi might leave some braised eggplant.

However, others would naturally share the load.

The remaining dishes were not the finale; they were almost all small side dishes.

【Oh my! Such a huge plate of braised eggplant, I really want to eat it, but I think even a big eater like me would struggle.】

【I can eat half a pot of rice in one meal; if I went up, I'd definitely make it.】

【I really want to help Ning Chen share the load; although the portion is large, it looks so delicious.】

【I haven't tried sweet-flavored braised eggplant yet; I really want to taste it.】

Regarding this meal of braised eggplant, it was truly a highlight; people in the live stream praised it one after another.

The boiling sounds were all praises for the braised eggplant.

After being stunned for a while, Lin Yi also came to his senses.

"Don't worry, Teacher San Lei; Ning Chen and I definitely won't leave any leftovers."

"Wait, Lin Yi, don't drag me into this."

Everyone burst into laughter; Lin Yi awkwardly glanced at Ning Chen.

"Alright, alright, eat quickly; the leftovers can be eaten at the next meal. I just wanted to tease you."

Teacher San Lei also expressed his true feelings, which finally let Lin Yi and Ning Chen's hanging hearts settle back into their bellies.

For this meal, the two basically only ate braised eggplant.

Lin Yi didn't touch the fish he grilled himself at all.

However, everyone else eating it praised it without end.

"From now on, if we grill fish again, we must leave it to Lin Yi; it's too delicious, comparable to Teacher San Lei's cooking skills."

Li Ying's multiple praises left Lin Yi at a loss; he swallowed a mouthful of braised eggplant and took a sip of water.

Then he coughed twice.

"Don't rush; take a moment to recover before speaking."

Lin Yi was seen waving his hand.

"I dare not accept that; compared to Teacher San Lei, I still have certain differences; I'm just a third-rate fish griller."

Teacher San Lei could hardly bear to watch Lin Yi's modesty.

"Young people should have confidence; modesty is naturally good, but your modesty has gone a bit too far, understand?"
