Chapter 597: Chapter 284: Stir-Frying Water Spinach with Ham Fat, Delicious! Brother Lin, Can You Make Steamed Pot Chicken? [Subscribe Please]

"Wow, this mooncake is really delicious!"

"I can’t resist these sweet and salty flavors."

"Me too, I really love it!"

"Yueyue, why aren’t you eating? Don’t you like this flavor?"

They were upstairs, at a booth near the kitchen entrance. Their flower ham mooncake party was still ongoing.

After finishing one, Chen Yan was about to pick up another when she suddenly realized her cousin hadn’t eaten, and hadn’t even touched the one she had shared with Lin Xu earlier.

What’s going on? Such delicious mooncakes, and she’s restraining herself. This means...

Chen Yan pushed up imaginary glasses on her nose and said in a Conan-like tone, "There’s only one truth, and that is, there’s something even more delicious coming up!"

Recalling that her brother-in-law was going to make Mapo Tofu without tofu for lunch today, Chen Yan figured her cousin must be waiting for that dish. If Yueyue was waiting, then she would wait too. She had already promised to help her brother-in-law with quality control, so she had to keep her word.

Upon hearing there was more food to come, the others also stopped eating. They were afraid they wouldn’t have enough room for dinner, and that would be more agonizing than losing a billion.

Soon after, Lin Xu came out holding a small basin of freshly made Mapo Chicken Cake. "Whoever ate more mooncakes today will regret it," he announced, "because you can eat mooncakes any day, but this dish, I don’t often have the time to cook."

Upon hearing this, everyone else wore expressions that said, ’Just as we thought!’ They had bet correctly; there really was a more delicious dish.

A young man brought over a basin of rice and placed it on the table, then brought out bowls and chopsticks.

With all the dishes ready, what were they waiting for?

Let’s eat!

Everyone gathered around the table and began to serve themselves rice. Shu Yun, having finished her mooncake, came over to Lin Xu and whispered, "Boss, Tiantian wanted some Moringa Seeds. I just gave her a small handful."

Moringa Seeds weren’t a big deal, but she had to report it. After all, they belonged to the boss; taking them without asking would be tantamount to stealing.

Lin Xu heard this and smiled unconcernedly. "Give them to her then. Is a handful too little? Should you grab some more?" 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

He didn’t use them himself, so if Tiantian wanted them, why not give them to her? These Moringa Seeds are for... wait. She’s an unmarried young woman with no partner. What would she want with Moringa Seeds that tonify the kidneys and strengthen the loins? Do athletes need that kind of supplement too? But these are for men, unlike Chinese yam, which benefits both men and women.

Shu Yun didn’t dare to mention Wei Qian, but said, "They’re for a friend of hers. She said her friend is a bit weak and needs some nourishment."

Lin Xu laughed and said, "If she feels it’s not enough, give her more. If she thinks that’s enough, then when my Senior Brother and father-in-law arrive, give the rest of those Moringa Seeds to them. Be discreet."

"Okay, Boss. I understand."

Giving Moringa Seeds to his Senior Brother was fine; everyone knew he was frail. However, giving them to his father-in-law didn’t feel quite right. His father-in-law valued his pride immensely. If he got the idea, "What, you think Old Shen isn’t vigorous and formidable?" it could backfire. It was better to be discreet about it. This way, it would be a tacit understanding, showing good rapport.

"Wow, what kind of ingredient is this? It’s so tender!"

"At first, I thought it was tofu, but when I bit into it, it tasted like chicken! So fresh and tender."

"No wonder our dear Lin Xu said the flower ham mooncakes weren’t the real surprise! This was definitely worth the wait!"

"My brother-in-law said at noon he’d make Mapo Tofu without tofu, and he actually did it! To celebrate this delicious dish, I’m going to perform ’three mouthfuls to a bowl of rice’ for everyone. Want to see?"

"Pfft, you just want to eat more rice!"

Chen Yan, whose intentions were ruthlessly exposed by Zeng Xiaoqi, wasn’t annoyed. Instead, she grinned, scooped some Chicken Cake into her bowl, mixed it with her rice, and shoveled it into her mouth.

Comfortable! This is how you enjoy rice, shoveling it in with gusto!

Her only regret was eating so many "tomatoes" that afternoon. It meant she could only manage two bowls of rice at most today. If it weren’t for those braised snacks, three bowls of rice would have been easy.

After reporting back to Lin Xu, Shu Yun also served herself a bowl of rice and sat down, starting to eat with a spoon and explaining, "The main ingredient in this is Chicken Cake. It’s made by pounding chicken breast into a paste, mixing it thoroughly with egg white and a starch slurry, then steaming it until it resembles a rice cake. After that, it’s carefully cut into pieces. It’s a very difficult dish to make, so everyone, savor each bite!"

A dish this laborious... who knows when we’ll get to eat it again. So, I absolutely have to eat more of it today.

Chen Yan laughed and said, "Don’t worry. Next time we want to eat it, just get Yueyue to tell Lin Xu. If we ask, Lin Xu might not make it, but if Yueyue wants it, he definitely will..."

Shen Jiayue, hearing how troublesome it was to prepare, immediately said, "This dish is too much trouble to make; I don’t want to eat it. Yan Bao, if you want to eat it, get your boyfriend to make it for you."

Chen Yan: ??????

It’s fine for you to dote on your man, but why do you have to stab me in the heart? I’m going to call the police if this continues! Ugh! Suddenly, I really miss that boyfriend of mine whom I’ve never met. I wonder how he’s doing now, what he’s busy with, whether he has eaten, where he lives, whether he’s handsome, what his name is... For a moment, President Chen felt so melancholic she just wanted to eat two more bowls of rice. Trying to drown her sorrows with rice only made them worse!

「In the kitchen.」

Just as Lin Xu was about to add another dish for the fattening-up squad outside, Wei Qian came over with the oil that had rendered from the steamed ham, asking, "Lin Xu, what are you planning to do with this oil? It’s so salty and greasy..."
