Chapter 1047: Chapter 431: High EQ: I Made the Mistake Every Foodie Makes! Low EQ: I Got Fat! [Subscription Request]
"Sure, when Boss Hu arrives, let Chezi discuss the supply issue with him. From now on, let’s make a soup bucket like this every meal, and sell it until it’s gone."
Plates of meat were brought to the dining table in the banquet hall.
In the center of the table was an embedded induction cooker. It hadn’t been turned on for long before the fragrance of braised pork ribs wafted out, making all the relatives and friends swallow involuntarily.
Once all the dishes were on the table, everyone put on disposable gloves and dug in.
To fully enjoy these braised pork ribs, you have to hold them in your hands. Using chopsticks like a gentleman won’t let you appreciate the essence and wonder of the ribs.
The lean meat was tender and juicy, the fatty meat melted in the mouth, and the fascia clinging to the bones was both soft and tender.
Before nibbling, I thought the meat clinging to the bones would be hard to tear off, but when eating, I found that with a gentle pull, it all came off.
After eating, don’t rush to throw away the bones. Use chopsticks to carefully pull out the marrow, and eating an entire piece is a delightful experience.
Shen Jiayue’s uncle, Han Shuyu, ate until his mouth was full of oil:
"No wonder everyone likes to come over to Lin Xu’s place to freeload. These ribs are really well-made, even the bones are flavorful, it’s simply too satisfying to eat."
His wife, Zou Yan, said:
"Eat less meat! You’re the head of cardiology, have you forgotten what the heart looks like for those who eat too much meat?"
Although she was advising her husband, Zou Yan couldn’t stop eating herself.
Obviously, faced with such delicious ribs, even a doctor couldn’t control themselves.
At the table beside them, Shen Jiayue finished a rib bone, picked up a pork knuckle, and said while nibbling,
"Starting tomorrow, I’ll be doing aerobics every morning and evening, otherwise how will I fit into the wedding dress?"
Chen Yan carefully picked meat off the spine, and scoffed at this,
"I bet you can’t even stick to it for a day. Better get that high-end wedding dress center to alter the size one size up sooner to avoid mismatched outfits and embarrassing the designer."
A couple of days ago, she accompanied Shen Baobao to have a wedding dress made, so hearing her cousin swear by it again, she couldn’t help but tease a bit.
Shen Jiayue retaliated,
"At least I’m better than you. You always talk about losing fat, but why are you getting rounder?"
"I... I only gained two pounds, I’m not round at all."
Chen Yan also wants to lose weight, but every time she encounters delicious food, eating less feels like a crime, disrespect to the chef, and over time, well...
"What do you mean fat? I only committed a mistake that every foodie in the world makes. If you want to blame anyone, blame your brother-in-law, who cooks so well!"
"Then don’t come over to my place to freeload meals anymore."
"Our sisterhood is stronger than gold, don’t be so petty, Yueyue."
After Chen Yan finished speaking, she suddenly asked,
"Yueyue, send me your property manager’s number later. I want to ask if there are any houses for resale in your community. If there are, I’ll buy one, so I won’t have to drive from Chaoyang to Haidian, it’s such a hassle.
Shen Jiayue: ????
You’re freeloading meals and complaining about the hassle?
But thinking about having Yan Bao in the same community is nice. In the future, if she wants to buy something, Yan Bao can bring it along when she comes over for a meal, how convenient.
She said,
"I’ll send it to you later, I’m busy enjoying my meat right now."
Granny Shen, holding Dundun, gnawed on a bone, then grabbed some spinach from the table to blanch. Han Shuzhen quickly put down her bone to help,
"Mom, you don’t have to worry about it, just give the word."
Granny Shen chuckled,
"I’m not that immobile yet, our Shen family really has a good daughter-in-law."
Shen Guofang asked from the side,
"Mom, why aren’t you eating? The meat is quite tender."
"The weather’s cold these days. I have a bit more phlegm and dare not eat much."
Upon hearing this, Han Shuzhen, who just put spinach in the pot, said,
"Lin Xu is planning to make Autumn Pear Paste for you today. Once it’s done, mix it with hot water and drink, it’ll get better quickly."
"Autumn Pear Paste? This is really good stuff, my grandson-in-law is thoughtful... But don’t just give it to me, remember to give some to your parents, and send some to Yinzhou as well."
Even in joy, Granny Shen didn’t forget to prepare a share for all the elders.
Family harmony should be like this, not just thinking about yourself, but considering everyone.
"Of course, of course, it’s all taken care of, you don’t have to worry."
The braised pork ribs were devoured with great relish.
After finishing the ribs, blanched some vegetables and vermicelli in the pot, it makes for a perfect meal.
In the hall on the first floor, Old Hu and Uncle Shen were also gnawing on the ribs.
The aroma made the surrounding customers hungry.
"Old bro, when did the shop start selling ribs? Why aren’t they on the menu?"
"Yeah, I just flipped through it, didn’t find them."
Old Hu chuckled and said,
"These are from Lin Xu, he buys ribs from me. I gave him a bit more, and he made some for me to satisfy my craving... The taste is great, even better than those sold in rib shops."
Just then, Lin Xu came downstairs.
The customers, drooling due to Old Hu’s eating, surrounded Lin Xu, eager to buy a portion to try.
"These ribs really made my mouth water, Boss Lin, name your price for a portion. I don’t want anything else today, just want to feast on these big rib bones."
"Me too, I’m too tempted."
"Me as well!"
"..."
Lin Xu initially intended to discuss the rib supply issue with Old Hu, but seeing everyone’s reaction, he smiled and said,
"There are still quite a bit left in the pot upstairs, I’ll scoop some out left by my relatives and sell the rest... Boss Hu, can ribs still be supplied this afternoon?"
"Yes, I’m a big client at the slaughterhouse now, can get anytime."
"Then let’s do another 100 pounds in the afternoon. Starting this afternoon, the shop will officially sell braised pork ribs and let everyone indulge in the joy of eating big chunks of meat."
Upon hearing this, the customers immediately felt at ease.
Since there’s going to be new stock in the afternoon, there’s no need to rush. Amidst the heavy snowfall and cold day, they could thoroughly enjoy gnawing on ribs.
After finalizing things with Old Hu, Lin Xu greeted the other familiar customers.
Then he went upstairs and scooped out all the ribs from the pot. He originally wanted to save some for Sister Yuanyuan, but since more ribs would come in the afternoon, she could enjoy the freshly made ones then.
Thinking this, he dished out the ribs into dry pots, added soup, and garnished with some cilantro, officially starting the sale.
There was still half a pot of marinade left, which could be used as old soup later.
This way, the ribs made would be more flavorful and delicious.
Soon, these ribs were snapped up by the customers, all imitating Old Hu, holding the bones and gnawing, even making the mere sight enough to make one’s mouth water.
In the kitchen, Lin Xu went to the stove, checking the progress of the Autumn Pear Paste...
