The chicken wings in the pot, a highly toxic version with a poison effect rated at least 300 , terrified Shen Baobao. She had never imagined the ocean-like blue color could turn so ghastly.
"Even if it’s blue, don’t you think it’s also very strange?"
Lin Xu used a slotted spoon to scoop the chicken wings out of the pot, then carried the pot and poured the remaining greenish cola into the sink drain.
He then rinsed the pot with clear water, refilled it with a bowl of water, and poured in half a ladle of Dark Soy Sauce, half a ladle of white sugar, and a small spoonful of salt.
After bringing it to a boil on the stove, he poured the chicken wings from the slotted spoon back into the pot.
Soon, the color of the Dark Soy Sauce suppressed the deadly greenish hue, and the chicken wings regained their rosy appearance.
"Sorry, Xu Bao, I didn’t expect this to happen."
Shen Baobao pouted. She had originally wanted to make a loving dinner, but in the end, she still troubled Xu Bao to fix it. But luckily Xu Bao was here. Otherwise, if I’d suddenly seen that deadly color in the pot, I probably would have scread in fright, right?
Lin Xu wrapped his arms around the girl’s waist, kissed her on the cheek, and said, "Leaving the color aside, the taste is actually quite good."
"But... you can’t just leave it aside! Thankfully you ca back, otherwise I really wouldn’t know how to salvage this."
"From now on, let handle the cooking. The kitchen fus are too damaging to the skin. You just focus on being pretty, and I’ll take care of the household chores."
No, I can’t let this girl continue experinting with her black magic-esque horror cooking anymore. I have to nip this in the bud!
Shen Baobao looked touched. "Thank you, Xu Bao," she said, "I’ll behave from now on!"
Though the chicken wings had returned to their normal color, Lin Xu still vividly rembered their earlier greenish, toxic state. He found it sowhat hard to shake off the image.
To avoid affecting his appetite for dinner, he opened the fridge, took out a leg of lamb, and prepared to cook Scallion Exploded Lamb.
While getting the lamb, he saw so freshly bought chilled chicken legs. He took so out and boiled them on another stove, planning to shred the chicken for a Poached Shredded Chicken dish.
Well, I’ll try to avoid eating chicken wings tonight, to spare myself the constant reminder of that bizarre color.
By the ti Shen Guofu and Han Shuzhen got off work and returned ho, the chicken wings were almost ready.
After reducing the sauce on high heat, Lin Xu grabbed a handful of toasted sesa seeds and sprinkled them into the pot. He then took a plate and neatly arranged the chicken wings on it.
He had originally intended to sprinkle so chopped Scallion on it, but then recalled the color of those chicken wings...
Forget it, I’d better skip that step. Lest seeing the green Scallion automatically brings to mind the toxic color.
"Yo, tonight’s dishes are quite a feast!"
Shen Guofu’s smile beca uncontrollably radiant when he saw the freshly prepared chicken wings on the plate, chicken legs boiling in a pot, and his son-in-law cutting lamb.
Happy Old Shen was back online!
Lin Xu said, "Today at the TV station, I recorded a segnt on this Scallion Exploded Lamb dish. Thinking our family hadn’t tried my version, I decided to make it. As for the chicken legs, I’m going to make Poached Shredded Chicken later."
Hearing about new dishes, Shen Guofu beca even happier.
Having a son-in-law living at ho is wonderful! Not only do I have a partner for playing billiards, but the quality of dinner has also improved significantly. Finally, we’re spared those accursed fat-reducing als!
After the Scallion Exploded Lamb was ready, Lin Xu shredded the cooled, boiled chicken legs. He then briefly cooked the shredded chicken in a Red Oil and bean paste soup, similar to how boiled at dishes are prepared, and placed it in a bowl.
Finally, he sprinkled chopped hot peppers on top, and a SIZZLE escaped as he poured hot oil over it.
Ti to eat!
"Xiao Xu, when is the show you recorded airing?"
At the dinner table, Han Shuzhen asked Lin Xu. She then picked up a chicken wing from the plate, took a bite, and found it perfectly savory-sweet, with a rich sauce that was incredibly satisfying with rice.
But strangely, their daughter and son-in-law seed to have no interest in this dish at all; neither of them even tried a bite.
"Friday afternoon at six o’clock," Lin Xu replied, then reached past the chicken wings with his chopsticks and started eating a slice of lamb.
Han Shuzhen asked with so surprise, "Why aren’t you two eating the chicken wings? Are they specifically prepared for us?"
Shen Baobao said while eating the Poached Shredded Chicken, "The calories are too high, I don’t dare eat them, afraid of getting fat... Mom, please eat more, otherwise it’ll be a waste."
Too bad Yan Bao isn’t here. Otherwise, I could have coaxed her to eat the chicken wings. After she ate, I could have shown her what they originally looked like... Ha! She definitely would have cried her eyes out.
Chen Yan, who was planning to move her company to the Huixuan Building, didn’t know that by not coming to her uncle’s house to freeload a al today, she had actually dodged a bullet.
「The next morning」
Lin Xu drove Dundun to the middle section of Yingchun Street.
As they got out of the car, Dou Wenjing, Shu Yun, Wei Qian, and others were waiting at the storefront.
The interior decoration had officially passed inspection, and today was the handover day for the refurbishnt. If no improvents were needed, the grand opening of Lin Ji’s Food was officially on countdown.
"Dundun, co let hold you."
Dressed in professional attire, Shu Yun saw Dundun and imdiately picked up the little guy, holding him tight in her arms.
Dundun happily rubbed his head against the beautiful store manager’s neck, prompting Shu Yun to hold him even tighter.
Dou Wenjing approached and said, "These past two days, we’ve invited several trainers who specialize in hotel training to train the new staff. Boss, do you want to take a look later?"
Lin Xu shook his head. "Let’s skip that. I’m not quite comfortable with that kind of scene; it always feels like a brainwashing session."
