"Senior Brother, your younger brother-in-law should be younger than you, right? Does he need Moringa Seeds?"
In the kitchen, Lin Xu, holding a bowl, was eating fried noodles while chatting leisurely with Xie Baomin. Occasionally, he picked at the Stone Cooked Chrysanthemum with his chopsticks. It had to be said, eating it this way was truly appetizing. It was a pity that when everyone had tried it earlier, they had already eaten more than half, leaving only a tiny bit of Chrysanthemum in the ceramic basin, which disappeared in a few bites.
Xie Baomin planned to eat with Su Peipei, so he wasn’t having fried noodles at the mont. Instead, he was slowly sipping a bowl of hot and sour soup. When Lin Xu ntioned Moringa Seeds, the executive chef of Fishing Platform imdiately beca indignant.
"Need them my ass!" he fud. "He’s only in his thirties and as strong as a young bull. After graduating from the sports institute, he beca a PE teacher at your sister-in-law’s school. Have you ever seen anyone who works out needing Moringa Seeds?"
Well... actually, there are. Hadn’t Tiantian heard just the other day that Moringa Seeds help replenish vitality and planned for Wei Qian to have so?
"Then what does he want the Moringa Seeds for?"
"He saw so male teachers in their forties and fifties at the school taking them. Since he didn’t have any himself, he felt it was embarrassing, so he just grabbed all of mine."
TSK TSK TSK... What kind of thought process is this? Do you know how many people who take Moringa Seeds envy those who don’t need them? Besides, they’re most likely just a placebo. If there’s sothing genuinely wrong with your body, it’s better to get checked at a top-tier hospital to find out the actual problem. Eating things blindly will ultimately only harm yourself. There have been far too many news reports in the past two years about people damaging their liver and kidneys from indiscriminately eating various things. Yet, many people still don’t learn their lesson.
Lin Xu finished picking the remaining Chrysanthemum from the basin. Xie Baomin then took the basin to the sink, poured out the stones, washed them carefully, and then cleaned the basin as well. While he was busy, he said, "You have to clean these stones thoroughly every ti after use. Don’t leave any vegetable scraps or sauce on them; otherwise, when you heat them for frying again, it’s far too easy for them to cause violent splattering."
Lin Xu nodded. He had just acquired the Skill, and after studying it carefully, he knew this was indeed very important.
Xie Baomin continued, "Apart from Chrysanthemum, other vegetables and ats can be cooked this way too. But no matter what you’re cooking, rember to use a smaller quantity of ingredients. Don’t use too much, because if they’re piled too high, they won’t cook through properly and might give you an upset stomach."
"I’ll rember that, Senior Brother." Lin Xu replied, planning to try making Stone Cooked Fish Slices once these busy few days were over.
While the two senior and junior brothers were chatting, Chezai walked in from outside. "Chef Xie," he said, "there’s soone outside looking for you. It seems to be your wife."
Upon hearing this, Xie Baomin quickly wiped his hands with the towel by the sink and strode outside. Lin Xu also followed with his bowl. Since his senior brother’s wife had arrived, it was only right and proper to greet her.
Outside, he saw his senior brother’s wife, Su Peipei. However, Su Peipei wasn’t alone; with her was a burly man in sportswear, probably in his thirties. Judging by his attire and build, he must be Senior Brother’s younger brother-in-law, right?
"Hello, Sister-in-law."
"Hello, Junior Brother Lin. This is my younger brother, Su Yuchun. Big Spring, this is your brother-in-law’s junior martial brother, Boss Lin."
Big Spring? What a... rustic na.
Lin Xu set down his bowl and proactively shook his hand. "Hello, Brother Spring, welco to our restaurant. Just tell us what you’d like to eat. We might not have much else, but we definitely have plenty of food."
Su Peipei said with a smile, "We skipped lunch at Haidian Middle School today specifically to co and try your cooking, Boss Lin."
As soon as she finished speaking, Big Spring glanced at the fried noodles in Lin Xu’s bowl and asked, "These fried noodles look good. May I try so?"
These words imdiately made Xie Baomin give Lin Xu a wry smile. See? That’s just how blunt he is; he doesn’t even know the aning of polite. He had originally co over to cook a couple of his signature dishes, but who would have thought his brother-in-law would take a fancy to the fried noodles here, wasting all that carefully cultivated cooking enthusiasm.
Lin Xu, however, didn’t think it was a big deal. He called over to Chezai, "Go get a large bowl of fried noodles; make it a generous portion."
The staff al for lunch today was fried noodles. They had prepared a huge basin of it, so there was more than enough for everyone to eat their fill.
Seeing her brother getting fried noodles, Su Peipei said to Xie Baomin, "In that case, don’t bother with anything else. Let’s all just have fried noodles. Everyone says the staff als at Lin Ji are much better than the dishes sold to custors, so let’s try them today."
"Alright, I’ll go get two more bowls then."
Before long, all the fried noodles were served. Big Spring thanked Chezai, who handed him the fried noodles. He picked up a mouthful with his chopsticks, tried it, and his eyes imdiately lit up. "Wow," he exclaid, "these noodles are really delicious! Much better than the stead noodles from our school cafeteria... Brother-in-law, when you have ti, you should really learn a thing or two from him. Look at this craftsmanship!"
Xie Baomin, who was in the middle of serving more noodles, was instantly exasperated, his expression darkening.
Lin Xu watched this scene, secretly delighted. So, the seemingly indomitable Senior Brother had a nesis after all! It was a pity the other chefs from Fishing Platform weren’t here. If they had seen this, they would have been absolutely ecstatic, practically bursting with celebratory cheers.
Su Peipei laughed helplessly and said, "Just eat your noodles... Honestly, you talk so much."
Xie Baomin brought over two bowls of noodles, handed one to Su Peipei, then tried his own bowl of fried noodles. He found them indeed quite interesting.
"’Were these pan-fried first and then simred in at broth? They taste good." As soone who had been cooking for half his life, he figured out the thod with just one bite.
Wei Qian brought over a dish of small pickles and another of spicy cabbage, smiling as he said,
