Whoa!
He'd actually drawn the Tomato Stew Beef Brisket, a truly amazing dish to go with rice! Wasn't that an incredible surprise?
Lin Xu had figured that drawing Pork Ribs or some other meat dish would be impressive enough, but his son had really outdone himself this time.
It seemed that from now on, he'd need to feed this little guy well before the draw to get even more impressive dishes.
While he held Dundun for the draw, Shen Baobao posted about Lin Ji's Food's newest creation under its topic:
"Lalalala, Boss Lin's latest creation—the Seven-colored Water Chestnut Cake, also known as the Rainbow Horse Hoof Cake, tastes fresh and each layer has a different flavor. I've already tasted it for you; no need to thank me!"
No sooner had she posted this than her silly online friends gathered around.
Don't Argue; Arguing Means You're Fat: I had my paintbrush and paints ready, and you're telling me it's a Water Chestnut Cake?
Haiyan, You Really Should Eat Less: AAAHHH, I can't resist colorful cakes! You're so naughty, boss lady!
Riding a Cat onto the Battlefield: Super love these cute snacks; I really want to taste them!
High-Quality Human Garbage: I counted; there are fifteen layers. Guess whether I can eat a whole piece in one bite?
High Prices Paid for Second-Hand Aircraft Carriers: I thought Boss Lin had gone back home for a vacation, but it turns out he secretly leveled up!
Sworn Enemy of Gambling and Drugs: When will you release a tutorial? The presentation just melted this old man's girlish heart!
...
Feeling happy, Shen Baobao liked everyone's comments.
Then she picked up a piece of the colorful Seven-colored Water Chestnut Cake and put it into her mouth. It was chewy, and as she chewed, she could distinctly feel the texture of each distinct layer and their different tastes.
It was so delicious!
Last time, she'd thought the Horse Hoof Cakes from Building One were good.
But compared to what her Xu Bao made, they were nowhere close.
Yep, Xu Bao's skills were the best, no objections accepted!
After finishing the piece of Water Chestnut Cake, she quickly moved to Chen Meijuan's side.
"Mom, did you get the video of me snapping my fingers just now?"
"Got it, got it. I'm sending it to you right now... I just realized my daughter-in-law has a talent for performing magic! That snap was so cool."
"Hehe, it's all thanks to Mom's good upbringing."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, just like a mother and daughter, huddled together, transferring videos between their phones.
After the transfer, Shen Baobao edited the video a bit and posted it on her social media feed:
"WAHAHA, I also learned the magic to make flowers blossom with a snap of my fingers! Transfer 1,000 yuan and I'll teach you!"
However, the people in her social circle knew each other too well.
No one was fooled.
Only Shen Guofu showed some interest in the other dishes on the table.
Last night, Old Shen had been up half the night dancing to the 'Compendium of Materia Medica' workout routine, and now his arms and legs ached. Seeing his daughter's post, he immediately commented below it,
"Sweetie, if you have any conscience, tell me the names of the dishes on the table so I can drool over them in my mind first."
Shen Jiayue didn't reply to her dad. Instead, she posted pictures of the lunch dishes one by one in the Shen Family's 'Our Loving Family' chat group.
When Shen Guofu saw Lin Xu's Double Pepper Fish Head and Fermented Black Bean Eel, he couldn't help but swallow hard.
"@Little Xu: After you come back, make me the fish head and eel. I haven't tried those yet; I'm quite curious about the taste."
Curious indeed. What would they taste like?
Shen Jiayue posted a smug emoji.
"Dad, want me to describe the taste and flavor of these two dishes?"
Shen Guofu hurriedly declined.
"No need, I prefer to taste them on my own."
Seeing her dad wasn't giving her a chance to tempt him, Shen Baobao didn't insist. Instead, she posted a photo of the Seven-colored Water Chestnut Cake and tagged her mom:
"TA-DA! Today's new Seven-colored Water Chestnut Cake! Each color has a different taste. Director Han, would you like to try?"
Han Shuzhen had just finished her noon clinic.
She was on her way to the cafeteria for lunch.
Seeing her daughter's photo posted in the group, her interest was immediately piqued.
"It looks delicious. After you guys come back, ask Little Xu to make some. I'm planning to organize an afternoon tea and let everyone try it."
Last time, the Black Sugar Shaqima left a deep impression on everyone.
This time, the Seven-colored Water Chestnut Cake would likely garner everyone's praise again.
Yes, last time they didn't know Little Xu's identity. But now that they were engaged, it was time to introduce this handsome son-in-law to everyone.
Her daughter couldn't be relied upon for such things anymore. From now on, it might be best to consider her son-in-law as the public face of the Shen Family.
Seeing her mom so interested, Shen Baobao sighed softly to herself.
Before their relationship was public, based on the appearance of the Seven-colored Water Chestnut Cake alone, she could easily get 1,000 or 2,000 yuan from her parents for it, sometimes even more.
Now that they were engaged and Xu Bao was family, money couldn't be mentioned anymore.
SIGH... It felt like a loss of a hundred million!
The birthday feast concluded, leaving both Grandma Lin and the relatives exceptionally satisfied. After seeing off the guests, her mother, Chen Meijuan, said,
"Your maternal grandma's birthday is at the end of the year. It's also her grand seventieth. Son, remember to make time to come then; she's always thinking of you."
"Yes, yes. No matter how busy I am, I'll be there."
For a family to be united, everyone must be treated fairly.
This fairness wasn't just about treating the children of each family equally, but the elders as well.
After Uncle Lin Hongjun drove Grandma Lin home, Lin Xu and Shi Wenming cleaned up the kitchen. Then, they went with Shen Baobao and his mother, who was cradling Dundun, to pick wild fruits.
