Chapter 926: Chapter 391: Burning the Midnight Oil for the Most Delicious and Spicy Late-Night Snacks! [Monthly Ticket 2000 Bonus Chapter]

This step requires patience.

The longer you fry the bean curd, the better it tastes.

With the influence of the chili, the oil in the pan quickly turns red, and the aroma of the Sichuan peppercorns spreads out, attracting Shen Baobao, who is watching Tom and Jerry with Dundun in the living room:

"Wow, this smells so good. Does the head chef need any help?"

Lin Xu, while stirring with a spoon in the pan, says:

"Actually, yes. Put on the heatproof gloves, take the baking tray out of the oven, use chopsticks to turn the silverfish over one by one, then put it back in."

The silverfish holds more moisture, and since the baking rack is placed over the tray, they need flipping to roast thoroughly and dry out the moisture.

"Oh, okay! Dundun, today’s dried fish is roasted by mommy, don’t forget!"

"Meow~~~"

"Hehe, Dundun is so good."

Curious, Lin Xu, while flipping the pan, asks:

"Do you know what Dundun is saying?"

"It must be thanking mommy, otherwise what do you think it is?"

Lin Xu chuckled:

"Maybe it’s... ’Hurry up, you nagging woman! Get on with it!’"

Shen Jiayue: ????

Do you dare to make up stuff about me?

She cleared her throat and asked:

"Xubao, are you planning to sleep in the guest room or on the couch tonight?"

Pick one!

Looks like it’s time to use the couple’s ultimate weapon.

Lin Xu said with a smile:

"Wherever you are, I’ll be there too. I can’t sleep without our Baobao in my arms."

Miss Shen felt a warmth inside from these words:

"Then why did you bully me... Wow, this fish smells so fresh, I have to taste it when it’s done roasting. If it’s tasty, we’ll roast some more later."

"Forget it, I’ll specially make some for you later, don’t grab Dundun’s dried fish."

"Alright, alright, you are such a loving father-son duo, I am superfluous."

While the young couple were busy separately, when Shen Baobao sent the baking tray back to the oven, the bean curd in the pan developed a layer of dense bubbles on the surface.

Lin Xu poured the prepared chopped chili into the pan, then added salt, sugar, a little chicken essence flavoring, and a small spoon of thirteen spice.

Continue to stir-fry, until the aroma of the spices wafts out and the color of the red oil becomes more lustrous, add in half a ladle of white sesame.

Flip two more times, then add the pre-roasted Sichuan peppercorns and cumin.

"Wow, the aroma is so strong, it’s a pity there’s no Butter Beer, otherwise I would surely drink a cup."

Lin Xu said with a smile:

"Had I known, I would have bought two bottles of Kvass, it tastes just like Butter Beer, so you could experience the feeling of drinking a thousand cups and never getting drunk."

Upon hearing this, Shen Baobao immediately grabbed her phone to order from the delivery service downstairs.

She initially didn’t have so many thoughts, but since it’s about never getting drunk, she definitely wants to give it a try.

Lin Xu put all the bean curd from the pan onto a deep, large tray, an entire big tray.

He cooked all the bean curd he bought today because he worried that cooking too little, it would be eaten up even before it cooled down.

The bean curd is covered with rich oil, surrounded by bright red chilies and Sichuan peppercorns, its appearance makes people want to try it.

"Cold eating usually involves adding spices afterward, so now it hasn’t fully absorbed the flavors yet. Wait until it cools down, then pick from the bottom to eat."

However, despite Lin Xu’s advice, Shen Baobao sneakily picked a piece and put it into her mouth.

"You deceiver, Xubao, it’s obviously delicious already. Spicy and savory with a good texture, yet you tricked me into waiting until it’s cooled. Humph, unless you let me eat half, I won’t forgive you!"

Lin Xu laughed helplessly:

"At least wait for the Kvass you ordered to arrive before eating, right?"

"That’s true, well, I’ll wait then. You better not eat it sneakily!"

Lin Xu cleaned the kitchenware, wiped the stove, and just as he finished and the doorbell rang.

Shen Baobao rushed happily to the video doorbell, just about to open the door, only to find that at the door stood not the delivery person with drinks, but Ren Jie, Chen Yan, Zeng Xiaoqi, and Chen Yuanyuan.

This... How could they smell it?

She pressed the call button:

"Sorry, the phone you dialed is turned off..."

"Yueyue, open the door! I know you two are at home secretly making delicious food! If you don’t open the door, I’ll pour out all the Kvass you ordered!"

Chen Yan’s words got Shen Baobao to stop teasing:

"You dare touch the Kvass, I’ll spill all your childhood embarrassing stories out, who’s afraid of who!" 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Then she pressed open the door and then turned her face to Lin Xu:

"You cleaned up too soon, Xubao, the invaders are sweeping the village, looks like you’ll have to make more food to send them away..."
