This...

Shen Baobao was stunned on the spot.

I have no idea either? We had gone out to buy oranges while the dish was steaming; Lin Xu had done all of this.

She looked toward her older cousin, Chen Yan. Even Chen Yan, who had just proclaimed herself the head chef, looked clueless. Clearly, this surpassed both of their culinary knowledge.

I can’t panic, I can’t panic. Recall the knowledge Lin Xu shared. To make steamed eggs silky, they need to be strained... That’s right, straining the egg mixture through a fine-mesh sieve can make the egg custard smoother and also filter out the air bubbles. As for the lack of honeycomb-like holes, isn’t it supposed to be steamed on low heat?

Shen Baobao’s mind raced, and then she said to Shen Guofang, "Strain the egg mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to make it smooth, and for the air holes, steam it on low heat."

Yes, whether this is the right way or not, right now it’s crucial to act as if it’s the correct method—with confidence. If yours doesn’t taste good, then sorry, it’s your own fault, not because of my instructions.

Just at that moment, Lin Xu came in holding a dish of Mapo Tofu. After hearing Shen Baobao’s words, he said, "You’re right. Egg custard should be steamed on low heat to effectively avoid air bubbles."

With the chef’s endorsement, all the female relatives present quietly took note, planning to try this method when they got home. If we can make it, we can show off our cooking skills to our friends!

Shen Guofu saw Lin Xu come in and quickly took the bowl of Mapo Tofu from him, saying, "Lin Xu, are you done? If you’re done, come and sit down to eat. Everyone’s waiting for you."

Lin Xu said, "Just the corn custard left. It’ll only take a few minutes. Everyone, please start eating; don’t wait for me. I’ll come over once I’m done."

Returning to the kitchen, he didn’t start cooking right away but instead called his mother, Chen Meijuan. Usually, during festivals, he would be with his parents, but being away this year necessitated a call to avoid his mom’s nagging about "forgetting his mother after getting a wife."

The call connected, and it sounded lively on the other end. "Son, just as I thought! It’s already noon, and you hadn’t called yet. We’re eating right now. Your uncle made several tables full of dishes. Have you eaten yet?"

"About to eat. Tell Dad to drink less."

"Don’t worry, no drinking today. The city tourism bureau gave our scenic spot an award for excellence. Your dad has to drive there this afternoon to pick it up..."

Mother and son casually talked about recent events and asked after his grandmothers and other relatives.

Just as the call was about to end and he was ready to cook, a fair and delicate hand suddenly reached out and took the phone. "Mom, happy holidays! Lin Xu and I miss you so much!"

Hearing her daughter-in-law’s words, Chen Meijuan, on the other end of the phone, nearly lost her composure. During the holiday, her son wasn’t with her. Even over the phone, she could only express her concern indirectly. That heartfelt "I miss you so much!" immediately brought tears to her eyes.

"Mom misses you too... Yueyue, is your stomach still bothering you? Do you need to go to the hospital for a check-up?"

"No need, no need, I’m all better now. It must be because I haven’t had Mom’s delicious food for so long, so my stomach threw a little tantrum."

These words instantly brought a smile to Chen Meijuan’s face. My precious daughter-in-law really knows how to talk! When we meet next time, I’ll definitely make a lot of delicious food for her, so her stomach won’t have any more tantrums.

After a few more words, the call ended. Shen Baobao waved the phone in front of Lin Xu. "Making sneaky calls home without me, that’s naughty. Unless you give me ten kisses, I won’t—"

Before she could finish, Lin Xu leaned in and kissed her.

The young couple shared a sweet kiss in the kitchen before starting to make the corn custard.

After it was ready, they returned to the dining room, and the Shen Family’s lunch officially began.

Actually, they were supposed to eat at the Shen Family’s today and go to the Han Family tomorrow. But everyone was rather busy, and Lin Xu couldn’t spend all his time visiting relatives, so they simply decided to have a meal and get-together at his father-in-law’s place. It was all family anyway; there was no need for such formalities.

"Come have a drink, Lin Xu." Chen Yuejin held up a glass, wanting to share a drink with his outstanding nephew-in-law.

Lin Xu held up his beverage with a sheepish smile. "Uncle, Yueyue and I need to visit our teacher at school this afternoon, so I really can’t drink. Let’s use this beverage instead for today. Next time, I’ll prepare a big meal and have a proper drink with you."

Upon hearing this, Shen Guofu quickly lifted his glass to smooth things over. "Here, brother-in-law, I’ll drink with you. Lin Xu has things to do this afternoon. Let the young man handle his business. I’ve been looking forward to this meal all day."

Chen Yuejin clinked glasses with Shen Guofu and Lin Xu, feeling a surge of emotion. I wonder if my future son-in-law will be this good. My daughter, Yan Bao, is thirty and still single. When will she ever get married? It’s so worrisome!

Just as he was worrying, Chen Yan, who was eating egg custard, asked Lin Xu, "Brother-in-law, do you and Yueyue have any plans after visiting the school?"

"After the school, we’re heading back to the store. Why do you ask, Yan Bao?"

Chen Yan glanced at her dad and replied with a smile, "I want to learn how to cook a dish for Dad. He loves coriander, but because so many people dislike it these days, he hasn’t been able to indulge as much as he’d like..."

Her words instantly made Chen Yuejin, who had been worrying about his daughter, beam with joy. My, our Chen family’s girl is starting to care for her dad! That’s really something.

Shen Guofang, beside him, also looked pleased. She had planned to liven things up later and ask the relatives to suggest a possible match for her daughter. But now that her daughter was so considerate... There’s no rush. If she can’t find someone, I’ll take care of her for life.
