Chapter 753: Chapter 334: The flavor of this lotus root stewed with pork ribs is truly exceptional, at least three bowls to get started! [Seeking Monthly Ticket]_3

"Wow, you’re sneaking a bite! You, the chef! We should dock your bonus."

"Just tasting the flavor. Have you picked out a house?"

Lin Xu walked over with a bowl in hand, which still had a piece of lotus root and a pork rib left, "Try it, see if you like it."

"Eh? Aren’t lotus roots supposed to be white? Why did it turn pink after stewing? Making pink dishes because I’m wearing pink—tell me, what are you plotting?"

Lin Xu passed the chopsticks into her hand, "No schemes, I just want to be with you for all of eternity, that’s all."

Mmm, at times like this, you couldn’t say ’for this lifetime’ or ’forever,’ because this girl would immediately ask if the next lifetime was allocated to someone else... Such lessons.

Full marks for the response!

Shen Baobao nuzzled Lin Xu with her head, then picked up the lotus root with her chopsticks and tasted a bite nonchalantly. Surprise instantly spread across her face: "Oh my, this lotus root is so tender, sweet, and delicious."

The lotus root was still hot, but the girl couldn’t stop herself, puffing while she devoured the whole piece.

After she finished, she gulped down the soup in the bowl.

"So tasty, utterly delicious, truly worthy of a dish that’s the same color as my clothes—it tastes that good."

She had originally planned to share her experiences from the morning.

But upon tasting the delectable lotus root and pork rib stew, she immediately forgot about it.

"Hurry up and start lunch, I’m starving!"

"Coming right up!"

Lin Xu returned to the kitchen, carefully lifting the clay pot off the stove.

He then served the lotus root and pork ribs into several platters.

After dishing everything out, he sprinkled some washed and chopped scallions over the top to enhance the appearance of the soup.

Next up, time for the formal meal!

There were just two dishes for lunch today—Stewed Fish Entrails and lotus root pork rib soup.

After taking their seats, everyone started eating, and upon trying the lotus root, all showed expressions of amazement, as if reacquainting themselves with the ingredient.

Even Zhu Yong was a bit surprised.

He hadn’t expected Lin Xu’s cooking skills to be this exceptional.

He was even more ’Hubei’ than him, a Hubei native.

No wonder his uncle always told him to learn more from the boss—such extraordinary talent was indeed worth learning from.

He planned to make lotus root pork rib soup himself when he had time, to see the difference between his and Lin Xu’s.

"So fresh and fragrant, this flavor is really good."

"When it gets cold, you need to drink more of this kind of soup."

"I heard lotus root is also good for beauty and skincare."

"Really? Then I must eat more."

Everyone chatted back and forth. Shu Yun looked at Lin Xu and asked, "Will this soup be on the new menu in the future?"

"Yes, once the business with the pot-steamed pigeons stabilizes, we’ll introduce the lotus root stewed pork ribs. We’ll make a big pot each time, and serve it directly to customers who order it."

Lin Xu had a clear plan for introducing new dishes to the restaurant.

He couldn’t rush into it. Everything had to be done step by step.

He took a sip of the pork rib soup from his bowl, then asked, "Did you find a good house?"

Feng Ge took over the conversation, "We found one. The boss lady is quite satisfied. I’ll quickly check the details of that apartment and eliminate any risks... Last time I dined with friends from several law firms, they mentioned how these days many people rush to sell their properties before court auctions. Buyers are often desperate and can easily fall into traps—we can’t afford to make that mistake."

"Then I’ll leave it in Feng Ge’s capable hands."

"You’re too polite, Boss Lin. With such delicious food, I’d feel guilty if I didn’t put in extra effort."

Dou Wenjing also indicated she would make arrangements for the funds as soon as possible.

Lin Xu felt somewhat emotional about finally having his own place in Beijing.

Just months ago, he was worried about finding work to stay in Beijing.

And now, he was about to own his own house.

It was like a dream.

He wanted to share the news with his parents but worried they might start gathering money for him, so he decided to purchase the house before telling them.

As he thought about all this, he picked up a pork rib. He gently sucked on it, and the meat fell off the bone.

The pork rib was both fragrant and fresh, melting in the mouth with its soft and succulent texture, especially the fatty part which almost reached the point of melting upon entry.

Delicious, truly scrumptious!

Today at noon, Geng Lele was accompanying her parents and grandparents, so she didn’t come to the shop.

Shen Baobao posted a video and photos of lotus root and pork rib soup in the group chat, "Lele, I made lotus root and pork rib soup for lunch today, it tasted amazing! It’s a pity you weren’t here; I had to eat three big bowls with tears in my eyes."

Soon, Geng Lele sent a message, "I’m dining at Cuihua Building right now. Even though it’s a time-honored brand, I still miss the dishes made by Brother Xu."

After eating, Lin Xu picked up his phone and sent messages to his senior fellow apprentice Xie Baomin and Old Huang, "The Drunken Crab I made a few days ago is ready; the crab roe is perfect. Professor Cui is planning to invite you two for a small drink. Do you have time to come to the shop this afternoon?"

As soon as they heard the Drunken Crab was ready, Xie Baomin and Old Huang naturally agreed happily.

Old Huang also expressed his desire to bring some high-quality Hairy Crabs for Lin Xu to help prepare some Drunken Crab, as his wife and child were returning from Southern Yunnan, and the family needed to eat something good.

Drunken Crab, a delicacy that poses a huge challenge to the stomach and intestines, is not something that everyone can handle.

However, it can be steamed before eating. Although some of the fresh flavor will be lost, it is very stomach-friendly and won’t turn one into a projectile-vomiting warrior after eating.

Around eleven, the shop was visited by quite a few silver-haired old men and women.

These were all summoned by Auntie Liang, who upon entering the door, demanded the pot-steamed pigeon.

Lin Xu told Shu Yun to take good care of everyone while he and Shen Baobao went out, drove to the high-speed railway station to pick up Shen Guofu and Han Shuzhen returning from Yinzhou.

「Meanwhile, Daxing Airport.」

As the plane from Hailar gradually touched down, Chen Yan switched off airplane mode on her phone.

She flipped through the group messages, wanting to know what the little bears had been discussing while she was flying.

Then she saw the lotus root and pork rib soup that Shen Baobao posted.

What?

You guys not only had pigeon soup that beautifies and nourishes, but also lotus root and pork rib soup?!?!

You’re truly not taking me, Chen Yan, into consideration, are you?

Chen Yan immediately felt a bit upset.

She felt like she missed a lot of delicious food during the week she spent traveling.

That won’t do, I have to eat my way back.

Even if it means gaining a little strip of fat around my waist, I can’t suffer this kind of grievance.

She rapidly sent a message to Shen Baobao, "Don’t tell me all the rib soup is gone. If you say it is, then your house is gone too! Grandpa Gao specifically asked me to give you a house."

A house?

Shen Baobao, who was playing with selfies as she sat in the passenger seat of the X5, was immediately dumbfounded.

She rapidly replied, "What house? How big is it? Is it a duplex? If so, we might not need to buy one then."

Chen Yan: ???????

Good heavens! I’m offering you a house, and you’re already making demands?

"It’s the one you’re renting now. Grandpa Gao told me to find a way through a lawyer to transfer it to brother-in-law... What did you just say? Are you planning to buy a duplex?"

"Director Yan gifted Dundun something, we can’t fit it in the house, so we’re planning to buy an apartment."

A gift?

It doesn’t fit?

Did I leave Beijing for seven days or seven years?

Chen Yan was somewhat baffled.

But before she could figure things out, she received a message from Ren Jie, "Are you back? I have a half-day leave this afternoon and would like to invite you for coffee. Do you have time this afternoon?"

Chen Yan: "!!!!!!!!!!"

How should I answer this question?

I’m waiting online, quite urgently!
