Time gradually passed.
Lin Chen amiably interacted with Jiang Xuesong and the others one by one.
Lin Chen pointed out the well-written parts one by one, and for the bad parts, he only picked out one or two places to casually mention.
They were old, even if he pointed out everything, could they still make great progress?
Saying too many shortcomings might be too much for their hearts to bear.
Jiang Xuesong and the others were all calligraphy masters, if something went wrong with them here, even if they didn't hold him responsible, he would definitely feel bad about it himself.
"Elder Jiang, please continue."
"I'll go cook."
After communicating with everyone, Lin Chen said with a smile.
Jiang Xuesong and the others were stunned.
"Master Lin, you're cooking?"
Zhang Qingyuan said in disbelief.
In their opinion, Lin Chen's calligraphy was so amazing, cooking should have nothing to do with him.
His hands were for holding a brush, not a spatula.
Lin Chen: "Qian Qian likes to eat the food I make. Elder Zhang, pay attention to my first piece of calligraphy."
Zhang Qingyuan and the others nodded.
Lin Chen went outside the study.
He first found Xu Mengyao and Lin Xiaoqian, they were in the music room at the moment, Xu Mengyao was playing the piano.
The sunlight shone into the room, a beautiful woman playing the piano, the melodious piano music echoed in the room, giving people an excellent feeling.
Lin Xiaoqian saw Lin Chen.
Lin Chen held up a finger to his lips.
Lin Xiaoqian didn't make a sound, Lin Chen listened quietly.
"Daddy."
A piece ended and Lin Xiaoqian ran towards Lin Chen. Lin Chen picked her up and kissed her: "Qian Qian, do you like the piano?"
"Mmm hmm."
Lin Xiaoqian nodded, "Daddy, where are the grandpas?"
Lin Chen smiled and said, "They are in the study. Mengyao, your dad should have good tea, right? Brew a pot for Elder Jiang and the others, they can pour it themselves when they're thirsty."
Xu Mengyao stood up: "I already brewed tea."
"I didn't go in because I was afraid of disturbing you."
Lin Chen: "Then take it in for them. Their average age is over seventy, nothing can go wrong."
"Okay."
Xu Mengyao nodded.
Soon Xu Mengyao brought the tea in, she saw Jiang Xuesong and the others all gathered around her dad's desk.
"Hello everyone, here's some tea."
"If you're thirsty, you can come here to pour tea."
Xu Mengyao said.
Jiang Xuesong and the others looked at Xu Mengyao, the others were immersed in Lin Chen's calligraphy and didn't hear her.
"Mrs. Lin, thank you."
Jiang Xuesong said, "Mrs. Lin, can we add each other on WeChat? If Master Lin has any trouble, please tell me, I will do my best to help Master Lin."
Xu Mengyao was stunned.
"Elder Jiang, you can add my husband."
Jiang Xuesong: "We literati care about face, and we don't like to ask others for help because we're embarrassed. A few days ago, when Master Lin was being attacked, he didn't come to me."
"We've lived for decades, we still have some influence."
"Master Lin, please be sure to tell us if you encounter any trouble, he is a legend in our calligraphy world and absolutely nothing can happen to him."
The other old men nodded one after another.
Xu Mengyao gave her WeChat ID.
Jiang Xuesong and several others added Xu Mengyao's WeChat.
"Everyone, thank you for taking care of my husband. You continue, I won't disturb you."
Xu Mengyao said and left the room.
She went to the music room.
Lin Chen was teaching Lin Xiaoqian to play the piano.
Xu Mengyao could easily tell that Lin Chen's level was very low, but she knew that with Lin Chen's talent, he would definitely be able to crush her in this area in the future.
"Mengyao, you teach Qian Qian."
"I have to go cook."
Lin Chen looked at Xu Mengyao and smiled.
Xu Mengyao approached: "Husband, Elder Jiang and a few others added me on WeChat, they said that if you have any trouble in the future, I must contact them."
Lin Chen: "Try not to contact them. We are friends through literature, it's best not to mix utilitarianism in it."
Xu Mengyao smiled: "No wonder Elder Jiang and the others wanted to add me on WeChat."
"They know you would say that."
"Don't worry, they are old, I definitely won't bother them unless it's absolutely necessary."
Soon Lin Chen went downstairs to cook.
There were many people eating today, he had to spend more time. Fortunately, there were four stoves here at Xu Mengyao's place, he could completely cook, boil, stew, and stir-fry at the same time.
In the study, Jiang Xuesong and the others were engrossed in watching.
Time passed unknowingly for an hour or two.
"Knock knock."
Xu Mengyao knocked on the door and entered the study.
"Grandpas, it's time to eat."
"Daddy's cooking is the best."
Lin Xiaoqian poked her head out from behind Xu Mengyao and said in a childish voice.
"Qian Qian, we'll be right there."
Jiang Xuesong and the others reluctantly left the study.
Soon they smelled a rich fragrance.
"So fragrant."
"So fragrant, the taste must be good."
Jiang Xuesong and the others showed surprise in their eyes.
Lin Chen's calligraphy was super strong, his fairy tale creation was also extremely amazing, could his cooking skills also be very high?
Before long, everyone washed their hands and went to the dining room.
More than a dozen dishes had already been placed on the large dining table, each one looked even better plated than a five-star hotel.
"Everyone, please sit down."
"Try my cooking and see how it is."
Lin Chen smiled and said, "You have helped me a lot, I will use tea instead of wine to thank you properly later."
Jiang Xuesong and the others were all of a certain age, Lin Chen didn't arrange for wine, it wouldn't be good if something happened after drinking.
"Daddy, so many dishes."
"I want to eat meatballs, and that vegetable."
Lin Xiaoqian sat on the dining chair and said happily.
"Okay, but you have to wait for the guests to eat first."
Lin Chen said dotingly.
"Master Lin, don't be polite, we won't be polite either."
Jiang Xuesong and the others started eating, soon they all widened their eyes, they were all in disbelief.
The food they ate was so delicious.
The food they were eating now was compared to what they usually ate. It was like comparing what they usually ate to food without oil and salt.
The difference was even greater!
Lin Chen's control of the taste of the food was perfect.
"Everyone, is my cooking okay? Compared to calligraphy, my cooking skills should be stronger."
Lin Chen picked up the vegetables for Lin Xiaoqian and said with a smile.
Cooking and even washing dishes would improve cooking skills. Calligraphy could only be improved by teaching Lin Xiaoqian to write.
There was no doubt that he spent more time on cooking.
"Master Lin, it's not just okay, you are a god of cooking."
"The state banquet is much worse than this."
"Master Lin, I thought you were only good at calligraphy, it seems that my pattern is small, you are strong at everything you do."
Everyone said one after another.
Lin Chen smiled and said, "Qian Qian likes it, so I studied it more."
Jiang Xuesong tasted it carefully, he was filled with emotion: "Master Lin, we have gained insight here. Food can actually be so delicious."
"No wonder Qian Qian said that daddy's cooking is the best."
Zhang Qingyuan said: "I am a foodie, I have eaten delicacies from all over the world, I have never eaten anything better than this."
"Master Lin, if you open a restaurant, it will definitely be full every day."
Lin Chen chuckled: "It's impossible to be full. I plan to open a high-end private kitchen, with ingredients costing one million per table."
"I only accept one table of reservations per week."
Originally, he planned to accept one or two tables per week.
Now he felt it was a bit much, one table per week would be enough.
"Master Lin, are you serious?"
Jiang Xuesong and the others looked at Lin Chen in disbelief.
