Three o’clock in the afternoon.
Lin Xu’s uploaded video had passed the review process. His social dia followers received imdiate notifications for the video update.
Everyone originally thought it was another video of Dundun playing gas. But upon seeing the video cover, they discovered that it was actually a cooking tutorial, teaching how to make Dry Fried Fatty Intestines, which happened to be a favorite among many followers.
"Boss Lin finally rembered he’s a chef."
"Dundun fans in tears, BOO HOO HOO, are we not going to see my Dundun today?"
"Dundun~~ my Dundun~~~"
"I like Dundun, and I like Fatty Intestines too, so can Dundun perform an act of eating Fatty Intestines?"
"Got my notebook out, planning to learn a trick to show off over the holiday when I go ho!"
"Showing off 1!"
"Showing off 2!"
The video had just started, and fans began sending barrage comnts right away.
Lin Xu’s followers were a mixed bunch. There were pet fans, foodies, fans of his looks, and fans of the ’Lady Boss’, among various other groups and types.
Moreover, so were specifically waiting for Song Tiantian in Lin Xu’s video updates. Whenever this strong, youthful-looking cashier appeared, a group of netizens would call her their "wife" in the comnts.
"Have you noticed that not only has the editing of Boss Lin’s videos improved a lot, but the filming has changed too? There were at least three cara angles switching back and forth this ti."
"Now that you ntion it, I noticed it too."
"Did Boss Lin hire a professional team?"
"Hard to say, given that he has a wealthy girlfriend."
"AHHHH my Lady Boss... Draw your sword, Boss Lin!!!"
The video continued to play smoothly. In just a few minutes, Lin Xu had fild the thods for washing Fatty Intestines, the techniques for braising them, the tricks for frying, and the final dry-frying process.
After covering these topics, it moved on to the tasting segnt. The cara switched to the dining table.
Lin Xu sat behind the table with the freshly made Dry Fried Fatty Intestines in front of him. Beside the table, the plump Dundun was also sitting, with its own plate before it.
The followers who had been clamoring to see Dundun eat Fatty Intestines were imdiately ecstatic. Two mukbangers eating at the sa ti—what a pleasant surprise!
However, what surprised them even more was that Dundun seed rather interested in the Fatty Intestines. After taking a few bites of the beef on its plate, it sniffed near the dish.
Then it pushed its plate closer to Lin Xu.
"Is this... an exchange?"
"Quick, let it eat!!!"
"OMG, it actually knows how to swap! Isn’t this little guy too smart?"
"Watching Boss Lin is just for fun; the real show is all about Dundun."
"AHHHH, truly worthy of being my precious Dundun!"
"It’s so well-behaved! I really want to pet it."
"Working on South Third Ring. No matter what, I’m going to Lin Ji’s Food for a al tomorrow and pet Dundun’s big head."
"Pet it for too; this little darling is just too adorable!"
"Damn it! What use are these Coins to ? Give them to Dundun!"
"I gave Coins too! Hit like, favorite, and share! Let’s get Dundun popular fast!"
The followers were lted by Dundun’s action of swapping for the Fatty Intestines. Everyone started forwarding, liking, and comnting, and the views on the video skyrocketed.
However, the oblivious Lin Xu in the shop knew nothing about this.
At that mont, he was slicing the freshly fried Crispy at into strips and placing them into a steaming bowl. He added a couple of slices of ginger and a Star Anise, then ladled in a spoonful of the pork’s original broth, planning to put it into the stear.
The newly bought stear still had plenty of unused space. So, Lin Xu decided to try making a few Stead Crispy at Bowls. If they tasted good, he would specifically fry so smaller pieces of Crispy at tomorrow for these bowls. This would add a new item to the restaurant’s nu and simultaneously increase the stear’s utilization rate.
Additionally, he wanted to see if this would trigger a bonus. If it did, that would be a neat profit. Well, I can’t always passively trigger bonuses; I also need to actively figure out the system’s reward rules. This way, I can better ’shear the wool’.
After putting all the Crispy at into the stear, Lin Xu received a ssage from Shen Jiayue:
"The Pickled Pork you made was so delicious! I’m planning to bring so to my grandma this afternoon. She has trouble with her teeth. Do you have anything else in the store that she can eat?"
Trouble with her teeth? That doesn’t leave many options.
Tiger Skin Chicken Feet and Chicken Feet in Black Bean Sauce would work. Both these chicken feet dishes are cooked to be fragrant and tender. One is braised, while the other is stead until the bones are soft and the at falls apart, making them manageable even for those with dental issues.
But other dishes... Either they’re too tough to chew or not suitable for takeout.
Just as Lin Xu was about to reply, he suddenly thought of the Stead Crispy at Bowls he had just prepared and replied:
"I just stead so Crispy at. You can take a portion when you co."
"Really? Then I’ll take both the Pickled Pork and the Crispy at. I’ll co by around four or five this afternoon. Take care of yourself, and don’t overwork yourself! [Hug][Hug][Hug]"
「In the auditor’s office.」
After replying to this ssage, Shen Jiayue put down her phone.
Normally, Lin Xu wouldn’t reply anymore. But today, just as she put down her phone, another ssage popped up on WeChat:
"To be able to marry you, no amount of exhaustion is too great!"
WOW!
So touching! This must be the most moving thing Xu Bao has ever said, right? Screenshot, screenshot! I’m going to look at it every night before I sleep!
Shen Jiayue felt so thrilled she wanted to scream. Today, when I get to Lin Ji’s Food, no matter what Xu Bao is doing, I’m going to hug him tightly. HUMPH! Let others laugh if they want! I just want to hold tight the man I’ve lovingly fed for the past four years!
After her initial excitent, Shen Jiayue suddenly felt lancholic again.
It felt like her mom and dad were huge mountains standing between her and Xu Bao. How frustrating! How can I get Mom and Dad to approve of Xu Bao?
As she was fretting over this, she received a ssage from Shen Guofu:
"Sweetheart, don’t forget to co ho for dinner this afternoon!"
Shen Jiayue pouted and imdiately refused:
"I won’t! I’m going to see my grandma, and I’m not coming ho for dinner."
HUMPH, don’t think you can trick into eating coarse grains.
Sitting in his office, Shen Guofu saw his daughter’s ssage and excitedly slapped the table.
HAHA, I was just waiting for you to say that, sweetheart!
He picked up his phone and called Han Shuzhen:
"Honey, our daughter is going to eat at her granny’s place tonight. How about we go eat at Lin Ji’s? I didn’t get enough of that tofu dish yesterday and want to try it again today. Plus, I heard they’re introducing a new dish."
"Sure. Why don’t you pick up after work? I’ll let Sister Liu know in a mont that she doesn’t need to cook tonight."
Han Shuzhen was still at her clinic seeing patients at this ti. After speaking, she quickly hung up the phone.
Shen Guofu put down his phone and opened the filing cabinet, which was stocked with various brands of Liquor. After scrutinizing them as if inspecting soldiers, he picked out a small, half-jin bottle of Wuliangye.
You’re the one!
Although he had eaten at Lin Ji’s several tis, he had never drunk there because he drove. Today, his Bentley was sent for maintenance, so he didn’t have to drive in the evening. Therefore, he decided to have a few drinks at Lin Ji’s tonight.
Hmm, with such excellent dishes to go with drinks, not having a little sothing would be a terrible waste! It’s a pity Brother Lin is too busy. Otherwise, I’d definitely have to drag him over for a few drinks, discuss hosting a family banquet, and let my relatives and friends taste his cooking.
It was just past four in the afternoon.
Shen Guofu tidied up his desk, then shoved the Wuliangye into his bag.
Ti to leave work! Off to Lin Ji’s for drinks!
