"You! Guys! Actually! Ate! Behind! My! Back!"
Even though she’d decided to eat the Fried Pork Chops, she still needed a legitimate reason to do so, otherwise her words in front of Xu Bao this morning would be embarrassingly contradictory.
And finding a legitimate reason wasn’t difficult.
She could just pin it on Yan Bao and the other two.
They’d agreed to reduce fat and slim down together, yet they’d secretly indulged in delicious crispy Fried Pork Chops behind her back, deeply wounding her tender heart.
Hmph!
Without two large freshly fried pork chops, I won’t forgive you!
Shen Baobao marched over to the scapegoats still eating pork chops, like a vengeance queen, yet her eyes kept darting towards the kitchen.
Why can’t I hear the sizzling sound of frying?
Could it be that they’re not frying anymore?
Chen Yan, who was happily eating, looked up to see her cousin approaching and almost choked on the pork chop in her mouth,
"Yueyue, co... co try this. Brother-in-law’s cooking is really amazing. We didn’t want to eat at first, but he insisted and asked us to give our feedback."
Shen Jiayue: ???????
I was just about to throw the bla onto you, and now you’ve shifted it onto Xu Bao. Isn’t this move a bit shaless?
Believe it or not, on your birthday, I’ll ask Xu Bao to steam a giant Longevity Peach for you?
Dou Wenjing and Shu Yun didn’t have the thick skin of Chen Yan and were feeling sowhat guilty. But at this ti, it was important to drag the boss into the water quickly.
As long as Zeng Xiaoqi doesn’t know, then today’s al of Fried Pork Chops doesn’t exist, and it’s zero calories.
Holding her own piece of pork chop, Chen Yan dipped the unbitten side into the dark brown Soy Sauce on the plate and scurried to her cousin,
"Hurry up and take a bite before it cools down. The crispy fried pork chop paired with the sweet and slightly spicy Soy Sauce, my heavens, it’s more touching than Liang Shanbo eting Zhu Yingtai..."
Shen Baobao had initially wanted to keep pretending to be angry. That way, she could eat more later on.
But as Chen Yan approached, the aroma of the Fried Pork Chop wafted straight to her nose and tantalized her.
She bit into it subconsciously.
CRUNCH.
Although she knew before biting that the egg-soaked breadcrumbs would taste very crunchy, when she actually tasted it, she couldn’t help but feel a stir in her heart.
The crispy texture, the aromatic flavor, and the tangy, sweet, and slightly spicy Soy Sauce on the outside blended perfectly together.
And the moist, tender pork chop inside elevated this delicious crispiness to a whole new level.
Perfect!
Without waiting to swallow the pork chop in her mouth, Shen Baobao couldn’t resist taking another bite. Chen Yan felt a pang watching her,
"There’s more in the kitchen, fresh out of the pot will taste even better. Go ask Brother-in-law for so."
BOO HOO HOO, she gobbled up so much in one bite, I didn’t even dare to take a big one. Later on, I’ll make your husband compensate with a whole piece!
「In the kitchen.」
Lin Xu, with chopsticks in hand, was slowly enjoying a strip of pork chop dipped in spicy Soy Sauce.
Before eating, like CheZai, he found this thod of eating rather odd.
But after tasting it, he realized that the freshly fried pork chop paired with the spicy Soy Sauce was a match made in heaven.
The pork chop, being fried, was sowhat greasy, but the tangy sweetness of the Soy Sauce perfectly counteracted that oiliness.
The underlying spiciness also stimulated the palate, making one unable to resist going for another bite.
While he was enjoying his food, he caught a glimpse of Shen Baobao at the doorway, so he quickly walked over with the plate,
"Baobao, you’ve tried... you’ve tried it already, huh?"
He’d intended to let Shen Baobao taste it first, but upon getting closer, he noticed crumbs on her lips. She must have eaten so of Chen Yan’s.
"I really didn’t want to eat, but they ate behind my back and I was so angry..."
Ms. Shen was still trying hard to justify eating the at. But when Lin Xu handed her the chopsticks, she began eating eagerly, her rush making her speech unclear.
Lin Xu held the plate for her and said with a smile,
"I understand, I understand. Eat slowly, don’t choke. I’ll go fry two more pieces. This stuff has to be fried and eaten imdiately. Dad is entertaining an important guest here at noon. Should we let him try it?"
"Let him try. Dad can’t eat a single piece of at when Mom is around. He’s quite pitiful."
After handing Shen Baobao the plate full of Fried Pork Chops, Lin Xu looked at Chen Yan and the other two with a complicated expression. They insisted on cupping the food in their hands to eat; anyone who didn’t know better would think the restaurant had taken in three refugees fleeing a famine.
Between them and the staff in the back kitchen who had eaten the pork chops, it should have been well over six people. Task completed, right?
After all, no one had planned to eat Fried Pork Chops at the start.
However, when Lin Xu checked the task progress, he discovered it was still [0/6].
Huh?
What’s going on?
Wasn’t it already more than six people?
He read the task requirents again, only to notice the word "custors."
Indeed, employees didn’t count as custors. Shen Baobao, being one of the bosses, also didn’t qualify as a custor.
But Chen Yan was a legitimate custor who had topped up a million! System, don’t just look at our family ties; we’ve always paid every cent that was due...
He grumbled to himself, but the system remained unresponsive.
It seed he had to wait until business hours to co up with a new plan.
Luckily, he had prepared a good amount of pork chops that day, so they could definitely satisfy the custors if they wanted so.
Returning to the kitchen, Lin Xu turned on the stove underneath the oil pot.
