I've been possessed by a culinary genius, and I've turned Shaxian snacks into a rip-off!

Just as the Anti-Black Alliance was plotting at the door how to deal with Li Zhibai.

A ride-hailing car appeared in front of the store.

Soon, a simply dressed woman appeared at the door, leading a thin, small boy in a blue and white hospital gown.

The boy was about five or six years old. He was pale and so thin it was heartbreaking, but his eyes were unusually bright, like two black grapes, as he curiously looked at the Shaxian snack shop.

It was Zhao Xiaomei and her son Gao Siqi.

"Boss Li, we're here."

Upon seeing them, Li Zhibai's shrewd merchant smile vanished instantly, replaced by a natural and gentle expression. He stepped out of the shop and greeted them:

"Big sister's here, come in and sit down."

"Siqi, welcome."

"Hello, Uncle." Gao Siqi's voice was a little soft, but very polite.

Li Zhibai: "Siqi, Uncle made you some delicious egg fried rice. It's white, like pearls, just the kind you wanted to eat."

Gao Siqi's eyes lit up immediately: "Really, Uncle? You really know how to make that kind of fried rice?"

"Of course, Uncle never lies." Li Zhibai smiled and held out his hand: "Come on, Uncle will take you to the restaurant to eat, and it will be served to you right away."

He took Gao Siqi's hand and led him to a seat near the cashier, even putting a cushion under the child's arm to make him more comfortable.

Not far away, Yu Shen and the others saw this scene and couldn't help but start discussing it.

"Holy crap? What's going on?"

"Didn't Li Heizi say they were out of egg fried rice? Why is there another serving?"

"Yeah, I almost got into a fight with Lao Wang just now. He kept saying there wasn't any left, so how come there's another one now?"

"You can't believe a single word Li Heizi says."

"that is!"

"Who are this mother and child? Are they relatives?"

"It doesn't look like it."

"......."

Lu Qianshan pushed up his glasses and looked at the mother and child, especially after noticing the child's hospital gown, he seemed to be deep in thought.

Judging from their clothes and appearance, this mother and son did not seem like people who could afford to eat at Shaxian snack shops.

Could he really be a relative of Li Heizi?

"Old Lu, do you think Li Heizi is a bit too ruthless? He doesn't even spare families that look like they're in dire straits," Yu Shen complained.

They were ripped off, and although they cursed Li Heizi every day, they all knew in their hearts that they could afford it and were willing to pay for such top-notch food.

But this mother and son were clearly not the kind of people who could afford it, and this Li Heizi actually recommended the most expensive egg fried rice to them. He was really greedy.

"Let's wait and see." Lu Qianshan was also a little unsure of what Li Zhibai was up to, so he decided to observe first.

After inviting the mother and son to sit down, Li Zhibai turned and went into the kitchen, put on an apron, and began cooking.

He took out the ingredients for the last luxurious egg fried rice.

Turn on the fire, heat the oil, and stir-fry.

Soon, a plate of snow-white, subtly fragrant Bodhi Jade Vegetarian Dish was ready.

Li Zhibai placed the fried rice in front of Gao Siqi and gestured, "Siqi, try it and see if it tastes like what you wanted."

Gao Siqi looked at the plain white rice in front of him, picked up a spoon, scooped up a small spoonful, put it in his mouth, and chewed it slowly a few times.

The next second, his big eyes instantly filled with light, and he exclaimed in surprise:

"Mom, this is the taste! It's the egg fried rice I've been craving."

"It tastes like eggs, bamboo, and meat—exactly the same as what I used to eat."

"It smells so good, it tastes so delicious!"

As Gao Siqi spoke, he shoveled large mouthfuls of rice into his mouth.

"I'm glad you like it, eat slowly."

Zhao Xiaomei stood beside him, watching her son eat so heartily, and her eyes welled up with tears again.

She hadn't seen her son eat so heartily in a long time. Since he got sick, he had no appetite and had become skin and bones.

She felt that it was worth every penny to eat so well today.

"Boss, thank you so much, thank you so much!"

Li Zhibai waved his hand: "You don't need to thank me. I told you, it's not free."

Zhao Xiao understood what the boss meant, but she was still extremely grateful.

After taking a few big bites, Gao Siqi scooped up a full spoonful and held it to Zhao Xiaomei's mouth: "Mom, you should eat too, it's delicious."

Zhao Xiaomei quickly shook her head and said that her mother was not hungry, but the child insisted that she eat, so in the end she could only open her mouth and take a bite.

The moment the rice touched her tongue, she was instantly captivated by its delicious flavor.

She felt this might be the best food she had ever eaten in her life.

The young boss's cooking skills are really amazing!

More than twenty minutes later.

Gao Siqi finally finished his meal. He ate it all up, leaving not a single grain of rice.

"Uncle, this is the best fried rice I've ever had. Thank you for making my favorite fried rice."

"You're welcome. Siqi, you must listen to your mother and the doctor and get well soon. When you get better, Uncle will cook you something delicious."

Li Zhibai casually took out a small teddy bear and handed it to him: "This teddy bear is for you."

"Wow, a teddy bear!" Gao Siqi happily hugged the plush toy, rubbing his face against the fluffy bear's head. "Thank you, Uncle!"

"You're welcome!" Li Zhibai patted his head.

Zhao Xiaomei took out her phone from her pocket and opened the payment code: "Boss, how much is today's meal?"

Li Zhibai quoted a price: "1288 yuan."

Upon hearing this number, Zhao Xiaomei's hand visibly trembled.

Although she was mentally prepared for it to be expensive, the price of 1288 yuan still really shocked her.

But she still paid without hesitation.

As long as my son is happy, as long as he can eat one more bite, any amount of money is worth it.

After collecting the money, Li Zhibai smiled and gave the child a fist bump: "Siqi, good luck tomorrow!!!"

"Bye-bye, Uncle!" Gao Siqi hugged the teddy bear, turned around and waved vigorously at him, her smile much brighter than when she arrived.

Yu Shen and the others witnessed the whole process from outside, and their expressions were all quite subtle.

"That Li Heizi is really ruthless."

"I thought he was going to give me the regular version, but wow, he went straight for the top-of-the-line model."

"Well, it's a case of one willing to hit and the other willing to be hit. Look how happy that child is."

"Li Heizi is indeed ruthless."

"It seems our anti-gang alliance needs to work even harder to combat organized crime."

"......."

Su Su greeted her master Li Zhibai and went home, just in time to hear their complaints.

She really wanted to tell them that this wasn't the case.

While she was helping to tidy up in the kitchen, she personally witnessed her master stuffing two thousand yuan into that teddy bear.

Just as she was about to explain for her master, she saw Li Zhibai looking at her with his index finger raised to his lips.

"Shh!"

Seeing this, Su Su swallowed the words that were about to come out.

Then she saw her master give her a mischievous smile and wink at her. He then turned around, humming the song she had heard countless times, and swaggered into the kitchen.

"Forgive me for my untamed, unrestrained, and freedom-loving life~~~"

"I'm also afraid that one day I'll fall down~~~"

Hearing the faint singing coming from the shop, Su Su suddenly felt relieved, and a sweet smile appeared on her lips.
