Grandpa nodded, a proud look on his face. "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. You still don't trust me?"
"I just went to the market and bought some cheap goods. They said it was discounted because it was expired."
"I figured, it won't kill anyone, so a little cheaper is fine. The money we save is still ours, right?"
"Besides, I left myself an out, so don't worry, it's all good."
My dad opened his mouth as if to say something more, but at that moment, Boss Li walked over. "Old Song Kang, what are you talking about?"
"Boss Li, it's nothing."
My dad forced a smile and pulled Grandpa back to the private room.
I watched their backs with some anticipation.
I vaguely remembered that the pile of ingredients in the kitchen seemed to have been tampered with by Grandpa.
I wondered if Boss Li would still be able to laugh after learning the truth.
"Wow, what dishes are these?"
Boss Li's eyes lit up as he looked at the food on the table.
"These are all my family's home-cooked dishes."
My dad smiled and said, "Boss Li, please don't mind. Once this business deal goes through, I'll treat you to a nice meal at a fancy hotel."
"No need for that."
Boss Li waved his hand and smiled. "These are just fine; they have the taste of home."
"Old Song, you really know how to live well. Having an elder at home is like having a treasure."
My dad paused for a moment before finally smiling.
"Boss Li is right; my old man has exceptional skills."
"That's for sure."
Grandpa chimed in proudly, "I've been farming since I was young; I've spent my whole life working the land, so I'm very familiar with these things."
"I arranged all these dishes myself; you should try them; they're delicious."
As Grandpa spoke, he picked up a piece of meat and placed it into Boss Li's bowl.
Boss Li took a bite, and his eyes lit up. "This flavor is incredible; it tastes like home."
"Old Song, you are truly fortunate," he said.
"In this life, what I envy the most is this kind of familial bond."
"Come on, let's drink to that."
The two clinked their glasses and chatted more and more comfortably.
Just as the business deal was about to be finalized, I glanced at Grandpa and called out, "Grandpa, why hasn't the last dish come out yet?"
"It's coming, it's coming."
Grandpa brought over the final dish.
When Boss Li and my dad saw it, their faces turned pale.
Especially my dad, whose eyes widened in shock.
"What do you think?"
Grandpa set down the dish, looking quite pleased with himself. "I specially added pork; this is Braised Pork with Vermicelli, and I made it really well."
"Oh?"
Boss Li frowned slightly. "Isn't this supposed to be beef or lamb? How can it taste like pork?"
"This is indeed pork," Grandpa said proudly. "I added it specially; it's very fragrant."
"You don't know; I've cut the pork into small cubes and hidden them in the vermicelli. Most people wouldn't even notice."
"What do you think? Am I impressive or what?"
"You..."
Boss Li was so furious he was trembling all over, pointing at my dad but unable to say a word for a long time.
He picked up his chopsticks and poked around the plate, only then realizing that there was indeed meat hidden in the vermicelli.
And it was pork.
"Ugh!"
Boss Li covered his mouth and hurried to the restroom to clear his throat. When he returned, his face was pale, as if he had been angered. But when he walked into the kitchen and saw the bloody pig's head on the cutting board, he rushed back to clear his throat again. This time, he didn't throw up anything.
Boss Li, with a dark expression, turned around and left. My dad wanted to keep him but was injured in the arm by the bodyguard beside Boss Li.
Back at home, my dad was furious. He smashed all the pots and pans, looking at my grandfather and gritting his teeth: "Dad, I told you to buy beef and lamb. Why didn't you listen?"
"Beef and lamb?" My grandfather was taken aback. "I didn't hear you clearly."
"You heard me clearly." My dad clenched his fists, trembling all over. "You did this on purpose, didn't you? Are you trying to ruin me?"
