Where to eat isn’t that important.
What matters is what you eat.
For instance, right now, with this plate of pig’s head at, even if you were to sit cross-legged on the ground at the entrance of an alley, you could still relish every bite.
After they took their seats, the waiter brought over a few more dishes. These had been prepared in advance, but everyone was focused on the pig’s head at, so they weren’t served earlier.
Shen Guofu picked up a slice of the pig’s head at with his chopsticks and put it into his mouth. Chewing gently, a satisfied and blissful expression imdiately appeared on his face.
Delicious! Absolutely tasty!
The mont the pig’s head at entered his mouth, he could taste the rich flavor of the marinade infused into the at. When he chewed, the first thing he noticed was the bouncy and chewy Pork Skin.
The Pork Skin was salty and fragrant, carrying the aroma of the marinade. The at inside had also beco dense and compact due to being pressed, making it chewy while still retaining the distinctive flavor of pig’s head at. Even better was the crunchy pig’s ear in the middle, which added an extra bit of fun to chewing the pig’s head at.
A single slice of pig’s head at allowed one to experience the chewiness of the Pork Skin, the crunchiness of the ear, the aroma of the lean at, and the richness of the fat—a variety of textures intertwined. It just wouldn’t be right without a drink.
After swallowing a mouthful of at, Shen Guofu couldn’t wait to open the bottle cap and poured himself a glass of Liquor.
He lifted his glass and took a small sip.
Phew... truly satisfying!
"I never thought pressed pig’s head at could be this delicious," he said. "The texture is so much firr, and it tastes amazing."
Han Shuzhen didn’t use to like pig’s head at, always finding it too greasy. But today, after tasting one slice, she couldn’t stop.
Shen Guofu, eager to drink more, held the Liquor bottle towards Han Shuzhen and asked, "Dear, would you like so? This pig’s head at really needs to be paired with Liquor; the more you chew, the more fragrant it gets."
"Really? Then pour a small cup."
Upon hearing this, Shen Guofu quickly picked up an empty cup nearby and poured her a cup of Liquor.
Haha! Once she has a drink, tonight’s aerial yoga won’t happen. Old Shen is indeed a clever BOY! Son-in-law, you should take notes. This is all experience accumulated from daily life!
Han Shuzhen, who had a higher tolerance for alcohol than Shen Guofu, took a sip of the Liquor, then picked up another slice of pig’s head at to taste. It was indeed quite good; no wonder those who drank couldn’t do without pig’s head at.
While drinking and eating, she didn’t forget about the evening’s fitness routine. "Since we’ve had so Liquor, let’s skip the aerial yoga. You can just run five kiloters on the treadmill instead. Sweat it out, and you’ll sleep even better."
Shen Guofu was speechless. Son-in-law, you’d better not learn from . Your father-in-law is a cautionary tale...
After Lin Xu finished slicing the pig’s head at, he quickly mixed a dipping sauce using fragrant vinegar, Garlic Paste, and Sesa Oil.
It wasn’t until he placed the sauce on the dining table that he realized his in-laws were drinking Liquor. They weren’t driving today; had even his mother-in-law decided to let loose?
After the dipping sauce was set on the table, everyone picked up a piece of at and dipped it.
Hmm, this sauce was well-made; the sour fragrance of the vinegar and the flavor of the Garlic Paste significantly neutralized the greasiness of the pig’s head at, making it much more refreshing to eat. The key was that the sauce enhanced the at’s flavor, making it utterly irresistible.
Chen Yan couldn’t stop praising as she ate, "Brother-in-law, your cooking skills are truly unmatched! You’ve managed to elevate simple pig’s head at to such a high level."
Lin Xu smiled and said, "This is nothing special yet. Wait until I make the Crystal Pork Hock tomorrow. That’s going to be truly high-end."
Crystal Pork Hock is a sumr cold dish. It’s not only refreshingly cold and delicious but also beautiful to look at. The white hock at is enveloped in a crystal-clear, jelly-like aspic. Just looking at it is a delight, let alone eating it.
Hearing "Crystal Pork Hock?", Shen Guofu, who was drinking, and the group of socialites (including Chen Yan) nearby, all unconsciously turned to look at Lin Xu. "When will you make it tomorrow?" one of them asked.
"I’ll start in the morning, and it will be ready by noon."
The Crystal Pork Hock needs to be blanched then boiled. After that, it has to be sliced and stead together with Pork Skin. Once stead, it goes into the fridge to cool down. It’s not difficult, but it is ti-consuming, so preparations must start early in the morning.
Upon hearing it would be ready by noon, Shen Baobao breathed a sigh of relief. Starting tomorrow at noon, she would be driving over to the shop to help deliver lunch for the audit firm, so it would be perfect timing to taste the Crystal Pork Hock.
Aweso! Since Xu said it looked good, it must be stunning!
Nearby, Chen Yan, still eating at, was secretly rejoicing. It’s a good thing she moved the company close to Yingchun Street. Tomorrow at noon, she could just stroll over with a parasol and enjoy a al at the shop. No need to worry about her cousin ’food-poisoning’ her with tempting posts anymore, and maybe she could even return the favor in the future!
While the family was enjoying their al, Lin Xu saw Xu Xinhua walking past with a bowl, heading upstairs. He asked curiously, "What’s in there?"
"It’s the pig’s brain we scooped out when pressing the pig’s head this afternoon. I was planning to go upstairs and ask them what would be good to make with it."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Shen Guofu chid in, "Steam it with Egg! Make Stead Egg with Brain. It’s fresh and tender."
"Stead Egg with Brain?" Shen Baobao imdiately said, "That sounds so delicious! Xu, I want to eat it. Can you make it for ?"
President Chen also looked over with an expectant expression. Clearly, she also wanted to boost her brainpower... ahem, she also wanted to taste it.
Her mother-in-law, Han Shuzhen, added, "Eating brain is good. It’s nourishing, calming, and brain-strengthening." Although she didn’t say more, her face was filled with anticipation.
Seeing that his family was quite eager, Lin Xu stood up and said, "Zhuang Yizhou seems quite good at stead and stewed dishes. I’ll go ask him to teach how to steam this kind of ingredient."
He took the bowl containing the pig’s brain and strode upstairs.
