Xie Baomin entered the kitchen carrying sugarcane and casually tossed his car keys to Bai Pengbo.
"This shuttle cart accelerates so slowly; Old Song almost caught me."
Bai Pengbo looked as if to say, 'I knew it,' remarking, "Chef Xie, that wasn't very cool of you. If Chef Song finds out tomorrow that I was the one who provided the ride, how will I ever be able to freeload meals at his place again?"
"Forget about tomorrow; Old Song is almost here."
With that, Xie Baomin handed the sugarcane he was holding to a nearby assistant chef, instructing, "Remove the leaves, wash the roots thoroughly, and scrape off the root hairs; I need it for cooking later."
Song Dahai, the executive chef of Building 15, was notorious at the Fishing Platform for his short temper. Hearing he was on his way, Bai Pengbo immediately wanted to leave.
But when he heard Xie Baomin mention cooking with the green sugarcane, he instantly stopped in his tracks and asked, "Chef Xie, what are you planning to cook?"
