Li Nan thought to herself, "Of course you two find this idea strange, that's because I haven't told you about the blue-striped tetrodotoxin yet, otherwise, hehe..."

Surprisingly, Xiong Sifu actually approved the funding for the operation, which was indeed a pleasant surprise.

I need to think carefully about what to eat tomorrow.

Should we get abalone and lobster, or perhaps a king crab as well?

hey-hey……

Li Nan's foodie nature was on full display, and tears welled up in her eyes.

The next day arrived quickly. After a short lunch break, Li Nan took Qin Wen to the market to buy chickens, ducks, fish, horses, cattle, and pigs.

Li Nan bought almost everything he wanted to eat. Of course, the abalone and king crab were just a joke. Although Xiong Sifu said to eat whatever he wanted and that the An Ding Si would pay, Li Nan knew that he couldn't waste taxpayers' money.

As for good food, if you have the time and the shamelessness, you can go to Brother Gao's place to improve your meals.

Looking at the groceries filling half the back of the truck, Qin Wen asked, somewhat puzzled, "Li Shazi, is this what you call saving money? Just buying whatever's available?"

"Isn't this strictly following Xiong Sifu's instructions?"

"You're really making a mountain out of a molehill! Do you think the four of us can finish all this?" Qin Wen was speechless at her husband's behavior. What could she do? She had been blind to have tried to marry him!

Li Nan revealed a smug smile, "Wife, we need to broaden our horizons. If we don't buy more groceries, how can we have enough time to do our own things?"

Qin Wen rolled her eyes. "You wish! I don't think anything will come of it today!"

After adding more groceries to the trunk, Li Nan and her companion finally finished their shopping and headed to the Lakeside Community.

In the car, Li Nan said, "Honey, tell Brother Gao that we've set off, and he can get ready to leave too!"

Qin Wen dialed Gao Siming's number, and Gao Siming answered it after only two rings.

"Brother Gao, we're setting off. You can get ready too!"

"Qin Wen, tell Li Shazi, did he let something slip? Peng Yuanyuan just called me and invited me to her house for dinner this afternoon!"

"Brother, what happened? I didn't let anything slip, how did she know!"

The call was on speakerphone from the start, so Li Nan, in the driver's seat, could hear it.

"That's strange. Does Peng Yuanyuan have some kind of precognitive ability?"

"Brother, I feel like today's banquet is a trap!"

"Never mind, we'll deal with it as it comes. When you get to the neighborhood, come up and pick me up. It's four or five hundred meters, I can't walk that far!"

Building 103, where Gao Siming lives, is located on the west side of the Lakeside Community. It is separated from Building 68, where Peng Yuanyuan lives, by a full eight rows of villas. Given Gao Siming's current physical condition, walking that distance would indeed be quite difficult for him.

"Alright, Brother Gao, see you in a bit!"

After hanging up the phone, Qin Wen was still a little curious and asked leisurely, "Li Nan, what exactly did you and Brother Gao do last week?"

Li Nan's heart skipped a beat. "Honey, I had completely forgotten! I forgot to bring the clothes I left hanging at home!"

Then it dawned on me, "Wait a minute, honey, how did you know..."

Qin Wen rolled her eyes at Li Nan. "With your idiot look, how could I not guess? Forget it, you probably won't tell me anyway, and I'm too lazy to ask. I put the clothes on the back seat; remember to return them to Brother Gao later!"

"Hehe, my wife is so good!"

The vegetable market wasn't far from the Lakeside Community. Li Nan arrived at Building 103 of the community in just over ten minutes.

Li Nan parked the car, got out, and went to the villa entrance, where she saw Gao Siming already prepared, playing with the little parrot in the yard.

"They came quickly!"

Gao Siming slowly walked out of the courtyard, leaning on his cane. Li Nan quickly went to the door to greet him.

While helping Gao Siming up, he whispered, "Brother, whatever you do, don't tell Qin Wen about what happened by the lake that day!"

Gao Siming laughed heartily upon hearing this, "Okay, okay, I know you're shy."

Then, pointing to the two cardboard boxes by the door, he said, "I can walk now, I don't need to be supported anymore. Help me take those two boxes of matsutake mushrooms with me, we'll have some matsutake sashimi tonight!"

"Matsutake mushroom sashimi!" Tears of excitement streamed down Li Nan's face again.

After picking up Gao Siming, Qin Wen voluntarily gave up the passenger seat.

Gao Siming didn't refuse, since he was disabled anyway, and it was only a distance of four or five hundred meters.

After parking the car in front of Building 68, the three of them had only walked to the entrance when they smelled a rich aroma of meat.

Foodie Li sniffed the air and said with relish, "It smells so good! It seems Chef Peng's cooking skills are quite good!"

Qin Wen didn't say anything, but just glanced at her own fool with disdain.

Gao Siming, true to his reputation as a master chef among foodies, guessed what it was just by taking a sniff, but he simply smiled and remained silent.

[Peng Yuanyuan's choice of dish is excellent; it's exactly what I wanted. Li Nan can experience it for herself later.]

After ringing the doorbell and waiting a while, Peng Yuanyuan's slightly anxious voice came through the loudspeaker, "I've opened the door, please come in. I'm busy right now, ah..."

Qin Wen chuckled inwardly, thinking, "I thought he was a master chef, but he's nothing special."

Li Nan and Gao Siming both understood what had happened, and they both smiled rather unkindly.

Pushing open the door, Li Nan, as the main laborer, made three or five trips before finally moving the groceries from the trunk to the doorway of the inner room.

During this time, Qin Wen walked over to Gao Siming and whispered, "Brother Gao, you put your clothes on the back seat. Remember to take them back later!"

Gao Siming understood Qin Wen's plan, so he covered for her by saying, "Li Nan is such a troublemaker. He came to my house the other day and insisted on performing a backflip for me. In the end, he stepped on and broke the sink in the kitchen. Remember to make him pay for it another day!"
