"Everyone, please quiet down and don't disturb Mr. Bai while he's cooking."
Lin Yuan gave Shopkeeper Liu a look, and Shopkeeper Liu immediately spoke out to stop everyone's clamor.
Once everyone quieted down, Lin Yuan politely and with a smile invited Bai Jing to begin.
Being watched by so many people while cooking was a bit unsettling for Bai Jing, even though he had spent many years in the imperial kitchen. He silently straightened his back and took the opportunity of turning to wipe the sweat off his forehead.
However, when he turned back around and saw the pile of unwashed and unsorted vegetables on the table, he frowned and his expression subtly changed.
Lin Yuan had dealt with Bai Jing once before, so she naturally knew that Bai Jing was actually a person who was all talk and no action. The tasks of sorting and washing the vegetables, she knew without asking, Bai Jing certainly wouldn't do himself.
