"Junior Brother, your culinary skills are really impressive."
「In the restaurant.」
Xie Baomin, who had brought along several chefs from Fishing Platform to help out, bit into a at Dragon and was imdiately transported back to the tastes and soft textures of his childhood. As a child who grew up in the hutongs of Beijing, Xie Baomin had eaten plenty of such delicacies. Vegetable Python, at Dragon, flower rolls, salted rolls, sugar triangles, sugar-fried dough, vegetable nests, mixed-grain stead buns, and various other foods had accompanied his growth. But as an adult, busy with work and family, opportunities to enjoy such foods had beco less frequent. Sotis he thought about making them himself, but he would get sidetracked whenever he got busy.
His junior brother really had it easy!
Having a bite of at Dragon followed by a sip of the savory soup his junior brother had prepared was an absolute delight!
The savory soup Lin Xu made was sowhat similar to Spicy Soup. It used Pork Bone Broth as a base and included ingredients like shredded kelp, wood ear mushrooms, diced gluten, dried daylilies, and vermicelli noodles. He then added table salt, Light Soy Sauce, Dark Soy Sauce, and a generous amount of pepper powder to enhance the flavor. Finally, he thickened the soup bit by bit, achieving a thick and smooth consistency. A bit of Chili Oil was drizzled on top. Stirring it evenly and then taking a spoonful brought a refreshing spiciness that could instantly dispel the sleepiness of waking up early, as if rejuvenating the body. It was delicious! This soup paired with the at Dragon was a match made in heaven.
While they were eating, the three mbers of the Shen Family walked in.
"Dundun, did you miss ?!"
Upon seeing Dundun, Shen Jiayue went straight to ruffle the little guy’s head, but Han Shuzhen stopped her. "Always acting like a wild woman. No wonder Dundun dislikes you... Co here, Dundun. Let Granny hold you."
It was clear Director Han now completely treated Dundun as her own grandson. Both parents, one using company shares as a lever for marriage and the other using Dundun’s na, were finding all sorts of ways to hint at Lin Xu:
Hurry up and get engaged! Hurry up and get married! Hurry up and have a chubby baby for us to take care of!
"Oh, Master Xie is here too?" Shen Guofu hurried over to greet him and took the opportunity to check out the breakfast. From the photo, it looked like at Dragon, but he didn’t know the exact filling and had to see it for himself.
"Boss Shen, welco, welco. Hurry and try this at Dragon; it’s really delicious..." Xie Baomin said, then added quietly, "The at filling is super generous!"
This comnt imdiately tickled Shen Guofu’s fancy. Driving all the way from the West Fourth Ring to the North Fourth Ring, starving first thing in the morning—wasn’t it all for this delicious food?
However, it seed a bit inappropriate to just sit down and eat. He asked pretentiously, "Lin Xu, today’s the last day of business. Is everything ready?"
"We’re preparing the dishes. My senior brother brought over so chefs from Fishing Platform to help, so it shouldn’t be a problem."
Lin Xu opened the cabinet, brought out the remaining Vegetable Python and at Dragon, and then served a bowl of soup to his father-in-law, mother-in-law, and Shen Jiayue.
Seeing this while playing with Dundun, Shen Jiayue imdiately ca over. She picked up a piece of at Dragon to taste, and her eyes lit up. "Wow, this tastes amazing! I thought it would taste like a at bun, but it’s exactly like the at rolls my grandma used to steam."
Shen Jiayue had lived with Old Lady Yu as a child. She frequently ate sugar triangles, at rolls, and Noodles With Black Bean Sauce, and had vivid mories of these delicacies. The so-called at roll was made just like at Dragon. However, it needed to be cut before steaming, like flower rolls, and then stead. at Dragon, on the other hand, was stead whole and cut when served. Both thods had their pros and cons. Cutting it into at rolls before steaming allowed the steam to directly contact the at filling, cooking it more thoroughly. Steaming it whole, however, infused all the at’s aroma into the dough, making the dough more flavorful.
"Mmm... This at Dragon and soup are a perfect combo! Xu, honey, what kind of soup is this? It’s so delicious!" Shen Jiayue held her bowl, took a sip of the soup, and then bit into the at-filled at Dragon. She relished the delicious breakfast, sure it would keep her energized all day!
"I made it based on recipes from the Central Plains, but it’s not true Spicy Soup. Spicy Soup uses Beef Bone Soup, while this one uses Pork Bone Broth."
"Honestly, I don’t get it, but as long as it’s tasty, that’s all that matters. Dad, don’t just eat the at; try so with vegetarian filling too. Mom, stop cuddling Dundun and co eat! Don’t you have a morning eting?"
Sigh! Everyone’s so troubleso. I have to manage the whole family; it’s so tough for !
Han Shuzhen placed Dundun on the checkout counter, wrapped the little guy in a blanket, then washed her hands and ca over to eat. "You little brat, why all the yelling? You think I can’t read the ti?" She glanced at the Vegetable Python, then picked up a piece of at Dragon to eat.
Shen Jiayue was a little puzzled. "Don’t you like the egg and chive filling? Why aren’t you eating it, Mom? Don’t tell Dad’s got you hooked on at now?"
Nibbling on the at Dragon, Han Shuzhen mumbled, "It’s inappropriate to eat chives before the morning eting."
"But you’re wearing a mask, though. Others won’t sll it."
"I’m afraid I’ll sll it myself... Hurry up and eat your food; stop chattering so much."
After a fulfilling al, the family mbers each went off to work.
Before Shen Jiayue left, she specially brought two pieces of at Dragon for Tan Yajun.
Mhm, Uncle Tan should try such a delicious treat too. That way, when the new shop opened, he could continue ordering Lin Ji’s Food box als, increasing Xu’s inco.
