After dealing with the three beasts, Lin continued to handle the wild vegetables. He skillfully cut the leafy greens into long strips and chopped the larger vegetables into chunks.
Once the ingredients were prepared, he set a large pot over the fire and heated some oil. Then, Lin poured the sauce into the pot and began to stir-fry.
A slightly spicy aroma started to waft through the air, causing the group of students nearby to sniff eagerly, their eyes fixed on the pot.
"Bring water!"
Big Cat Senior became Lin's assistant, responding immediately. He lifted a bucket filled with Clear Water and, under Lin's direction, poured it into the pot.
The sound of sizzling filled the air as a cloud of White Mist rose, carrying a fragrant and spicy scent that made everyone's mouths water.
After completing these steps, the Spicy One-Pot Dish was basically done. He just needed to continue adding ingredients to the pot; they could eat while it simmered, somewhat like a hot pot. However, this dish would take longer to cook than a typical hot pot, so they would need to wait a bit longer for dinner.
"Alright, once it starts boiling, you can add whatever you want into it. When it's cooked, you can eat. The broth can be used continuously, but meat needs to be cooked for a bit longer—about ten minutes per batch."
After giving some instructions to Big Cat Senior, who was drooling beside him, Lin turned to find Fatty. It was already evening time; it was time to call him for dinner.
As Lin turned around, he noticed a group of students looking at him with various expressions—some curious, some admiring, and others disdainful, all mixed emotions.
"Excuse me, gentlemen," he said politely. "Please make way; I need to go out."
Keeping those gazes in mind, Lin knew he had to show some strength in front of these proud "talents" to earn their respect. Surely, this dinner wouldn't solve everything.
Thinking this over, Lin slowly walked toward the exit. Just as he reached the center of the crowd, Dream Source ran up to him and shouted, "Where are you going?"
"I'm going to check on Fatty; isn't he still sleeping?"
Dream Source naturally linked arms with Lin as they walked out together.
As a result, the gazes of the male classmates suddenly became unified, all looking at Lin's back with envy and jealousy. Having such a beautiful girlfriend was indeed eye-catching.
...
When they found Fatty, he was still sleeping, snoring loudly. It was only when Lin tugged at his ear that Fatty finally woke up.
The light had already dimmed; the night in Cloud Star was not pitch black but filled with a faint blue glow, as if dim lights were on. The stars twinkled brightly, making it particularly beautiful.
On the way back, they happened to run into Lu Liang, who had just returned from bathing by the river. They smelled of earthy freshness, the scent of nature.
A month of outdoor training had indeed changed Lu Liang quite a bit. He had lost some of that arrogant demeanor typical of a wealthy young master, and his charm that drew people closer had increased. He radiated a natural, sunny vibe.
Lin and Fatty observed this transformation and looked forward to what their training would bring.
By the time the four of them leisurely walked back to the banquet location, the event had already started. Everyone was eating, drinking, and having fun; it was quite lively.
What surprised them most was that in their area, a long line had formed, with everyone holding large bowls filled with chunks of meat and wild vegetables, waiting patiently.
"What’s going on here?"
Fatty scratched his head as he looked at the unusual sight of the long line. His first thought was about the previous incident at Noodle Shop; he immediately suspected that Lin You was showcasing his craftsmanship.
However, Lin Xin had a bad feeling. The dinner he prepared for everyone wouldn’t be...
Sure enough, when the four hurried to the front, they saw that under the leadership of the bearded Bai Quexin, Big Cat Senior and Unicorn Senior were dividing a pot of soup base into four portions. Four large pots were bubbling away with steam rising.
The students brought their own ingredients, and then more than ten of them gathered around a pot, putting everything in to cook together. Everyone watched the ingredients in the pot with eager eyes.
Next to them, there were freshly cooked dishes, and regardless of what ingredients each student had brought, everyone was able to fill a bowl with the "Spicy One-Pot Dish," which made them very satisfied.
The mildly spicy flavor caused students to occasionally gasp as they took bites, eating one after another without stopping. Some even mumbled, "Delicious! So good!"
At that moment, someone passed by Lin, recognized him, and immediately ran up to him, giving him a thumbs-up and saying, "Chef Lin, this pot you made is the best thing I've ever eaten!"
This shout immediately drew the attention of those nearby. More people who had tasted the dish came over to praise Lin Mian for the flavor of his one-pot dish and also expressed their desire to befriend him.
It turned out that having good cooking skills was extremely important in the wild. In just a short time since arriving here for a meal, Lin's name had already spread widely.
Everyone here knew that tonight there was a must-eat dish called "Spicy One-Pot Dish," and the person who made it was Chef Lin. This evening's gathering was specifically held to welcome this chef.
Fame can sometimes be very useful, but at other times, it can also bring a lot of trouble.
For example, right now, Lin had to exert a lot of effort just to squeeze out of the crowd and escape from those classmates wanting to get close to him.
"Wow, bro, being too popular isn't always good!" Fatty said, shivering slightly at the sight of Lin sweating profusely.
"No, what I'm worried about right now isn't that; it's..."
Grinning, Lin quickly wiped his sweat and led the three of them toward Bai Quexin's group, fearing they would be surrounded again by those enthusiastic classmates.
"What are we going to do about our dinner?"
Following Lin's words, Dream Source's face twisted into a bitter expression as she looked tearfully at the four large pots, which were supposed to be her dinner.
Stealing food is a grudge that cannot be shared! This is a principled issue for a foodie!
"I think we should ask Bai Quexin; it looks like he organized this dinner party."
Rubbing his nose, Lin Ye felt somewhat displeased. He quickly approached the big-bearded Bai Quexin, who was squatting next to the large pot, hissing as he enjoyed the Spicy One-Pot Dish.
The pot continuously released the fragrant aroma of spicy sauce, which mixed with various ingredients to create a unique scent. The mouthwatering smell of spicy meat made one’s appetite soar, especially when eating nearby.
"Teacher Bai, did you separate this pot?"
"Yeah, what you prepared isn't enough for everyone. Isn’t it better for everyone to share good food?"
"Then what about our portion?" Lin tried to keep his tone calm.
"This...," Bai Quexin chuckled awkwardly, "Why don't you go line up at the back? Although you're a chef, you're still a student. Don't you want to keep it special?"
"I..."
Looking at Bai Quexin's unreliable smile, Lin rubbed his forehead vigorously. It seemed that life would not be easy for him with this teacher around.
