Chapter 1051 - 433: Caution! Human-to-Human Transmission Detected in Gaming! Making Beef Tartare!
Lin Xu was actually quite familiar with the way to make Beef Tartare.
Although this task couldn’t be exchanged for a recipe from the points mall, he recently watched quite a few introductions from online bloggers and searched for some creation videos by foreign gourmet content creators, giving him a rough understanding of this dish.
Beef Tartare involves mixing raw beef with yellow mustard, pickled cucumbers, parsley, onions, and other ingredients and seasonings and then mixing in a sterile egg yolk to be eaten.
Because it’s eaten raw, the requirements for the ingredients of this dish are very high.
Both the beef and the eggs must be sterile, and there are also strict specifications and requirements for other seasonings and condiments.
Recalling when he made the mission of pickled fish last time, the pickled fish, which was originally at an Excellent Level, became Superior just because Shen Baobao bought a rare mouse grouper, Lin Xu planned to take this shortcut again.
When he was placing the words in the study upstairs, he took the opportunity to call Old Huang.
"Boss Huang, can you get sterile A5-grade Wagyu tenderloin by tomorrow?"
A5 grade is the pinnacle for Wagyu beef.
Using tenderloin of this grade to make Beef Tartare, regardless of how it tastes, the level is already elevated, and the system rating can more or less consider the quality of the ingredients.
Old Huang was sitting in the living room looking at photos of big bones posted by everyone in their moments. He wanted to eat but didn’t dare to, fearing that he wouldn’t be able to persist once he started, so he could only watch others indulge in meat cravings.
When he received Lin Xu’s call, he quickly said:
"Sure, no problem."
"What about sterile eggs?"
"That’s even less of a problem; my family is currently eating sterile eggs. What’s up, Brother Lin?"
Lin Xu said:
"I’m planning to make Beef Tartare tomorrow. Since you have everything, let’s start tomorrow."
"Great, I’ll deliver the ingredients first thing in the morning!"
After hanging up the phone, Lin Xu opened the computer and checked the views on the short video platform. With five million views already achieved, he acquired both Superior shooting techniques and Superior editing techniques.
After checking the background earnings, he also looked at private messages and comments.
This was something that needed to be done every day, to conduct a check and prevent an overflow of ad comments.
Once these were handled, he sorted the existing materials on the computer before shutting it down and heading to the living room downstairs.
He vaguely remembered the reason his in-laws decided to move in was to prevent Shen Baobao from continuing to play games and to supervise and oversee their daughter.
But when Lin Xu came downstairs, he found that Chen Yan, who was initially playing the piano, was sitting on the sofa, playing a 2V2 battle game on the PS5 with Shen Guofu, Han Shuzhen, and Shen Jiayue, each holding a wireless game controller.
He originally thought Shen Baobao was the only internet-addicted girl in the family.
Unexpectedly, a person-to-person phenomenon appeared so quickly...
The four were fully immersed in the game, leaving Dundun, who was preparing for his music lesson atop the piano, somewhat disappointed.
There used to be at least half an hour of piano lessons every evening.
How come there isn’t one today?
Dundun’s little head was filled with big question marks, and it was clear he was a bit puzzled.
Seeing Lin Xu coming downstairs, the little guy quickly jumped off the piano, waddling his plump bottom as he ran eagerly towards Lin Xu, letting out a plaintive meow:
"Meow~~~"
"No one to play with you? How about I take you upstairs to play a game?"
Having bought so many cat teaser wands, it was time to accompany the little guy for a while.
Seeing her son-in-law arriving, Han Shuzhen immediately turned her head, just about to speak when Shen Jiayue launched a sneak attack in the game, and the character controlled by Han Shuzhen unfortunately got out.
"Haha, how can you get distracted while playing a game?"
Putting down the game controller, it was only then that Han Shuzhen remembered the purpose of staying at her son-in-law’s house today. She said to the other three still playing:
"Alright, alright, stop playing; it’s the middle of the night, don’t you worry about hurting your eyes... Old Shen, go upstairs and take a bath; I’ll play with Dundun for a bit."
You can’t openly reprimand your daughter in front of your son-in-law, and the niece has always been well-behaved in front of you, so you can only take it out on Old Shen.
Just as Shen Guofu was rediscovering the joy of playing console games from his youth, he wanted to retort, but seeing his wife’s gaze, he obediently put down the game controller.
Han Shuzhen got up, clapped her hands towards Dundun:
"Come on, baby, Grandma will play the piano with you."
She walked over, picked up Dundun, and placed him on the piano case, then adjusted the stool’s position, asking as she prepared to play:
"Will this disturb the neighbors?"
Shen Jiayue and Chen Yan were engrossed in their battle, saying without lifting their heads:
"No, the floor, walls, and even the glass are soundproof, and there’s a soundproof mat under the piano."
Hearing this, Han Shuzhen felt relieved.
She tested the sound and then began playing "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star."
Chen Yan, who was playing the game, couldn’t help but turn her head to look.
Isn’t Aunt-in-law supposed to be really good at piano? Why is she starting with ’Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star’, a tune even I know how to play... wait a minute, why does this ’Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star’ sound different from what I remembered?
It suddenly felt a lot more complicated.
Shen Jiayue won another round, saw the surprise on Chen Yan’s face, and said:
"My mom is playing Mozart’s original ’Variations on ’Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star’, about a dozen Chapters, taking around ten minutes... You didn’t think it was the children’s song you learned as a kid, did you?"
Chen Yan: "..."
Indeed, I’m only suited to play games.
After Dundun began his piano lesson, Lin Xu noticed the sweet-skinned duck Chen Yan brought was still on the table, curiously asking:
