"Is there a possibility that she doesn't know how to act but just knows what someone looks like after being knocked out, which is why she could tell you were faking?"

Zhu Yong: "..."

If that's the case, won't I be subject to domestic violence every day after I manage to win Sister Lu over?

He asked curiously, "If I were beaten by a woman until my nose was bruised and my face swollen, and I called the police, would the officers at the police station laugh at me?"

Wei Qian grinned, "I can't give you any advice, because I'll definitely never be like you, getting beaten up by a woman like a little chick. Isn't it embarrassing?"

"Don't speak too soon. I never expected the person with the screen name 'Lin Daiyu' to be so violent."

With more people, the back kitchen also became lively.

By now, the sauce had been stir-fried until fragrant. Lin Xu poured the blanched fish entrails into the wok, followed by two bowls of clear water.

The Fish Roe had been cut open, and having been blanched, it could easily break apart if stirred further, so water needed to be added immediately after putting it in the wok.

If lard wasn't used when stir-frying the aromatics for the sauce, adding Pork Bone Broth now would achieve the same effect.

However, if lard was already used, there was no need to add broth, otherwise the fish entrails would be too greasy, giving an impression of too much of a good thing.

After adding water and pouring in a bit of Cooking Wine to remove the fishy smell, it was time to cover the wok and braise over high heat.

When making Stewed Fish Entrails, it's essential to cover the wok and cook on high heat. This allows the sauce's fragrance to be braised into the fish entrails, and any fishy or strange smells from the ingredients will be completely removed.

Ten minutes later, Lin Xu lifted the lid.

The stock in the wok had reduced by more than half, and the original singular fragrance of the sauce was now replaced by the fresh aroma of the fish entrails.

Lin Xu added the chopped green and red peppers, then shook the wok to mix them as thoroughly as possible into the fish entrails.

A minute later, when the green and red peppers were just cooked through, he sprinkled some White Pepper powder to remove any fishiness and drizzled a bit of Seasoning Oil before dishing it out.

When preparing Stewed Fish Entrails, you need to leave a little bit of the sauce; don't reduce it too much.

This way, when eating, you can scoop some to mix with rice, making it utterly irresistible.

Seven to eight Jin of fish entrails filled two basins.

One basin was for the employees to try, and the other was for his own family.

Just as it was brought out from the kitchen, Shen Guofu sniffed and looked incredulous, "It's all fish entrails, so why have I never managed to make this kind of flavor? It smells so good! Give me extra rice later."

Today, the chefs had each prepared the dishes they were responsible for during the soft opening period, so lunch was sumptuous.

Aside from Lin Xu's Stewed Fish Entrails, there were also Zhu Yong's Chopped Pepper Fish Head, Wei Qian's sweet and sour Pork Ribs, Zhuang Yizhou's Kung Pao Chicken, and other dishes.

As the food was served, Chen Yan picked up her bowl of rice and immediately snatched a fish maw from the Stewed Fish Entrails, "I worked out for two hours at the company this morning. Finally, I can eat to my heart's content."

All that hard work exercising, what was it for? Wasn't it precisely so I could hold a bowl of rice and feast like this?

Shen Baobao kindly reminded her, "Binge eating after exercise accelerates the digestive system's absorption... making it easier to gain weight."

"Really?"

"Of course. But it's the same for you whether you exercise or not. Because after a woman turns thirty, her metabolism slows down, fat accumulates, and gaining weight is to be expected."

Chen Yan: "..."

You're the one who's thirty! I'm eighteen this year!!!! AHHHH, that wretched Yueyue, I really want to kill you!!!!!!

CEO Chen had lost her composure...

"These Stewed Fish Entrails are truly delicious... Lin Xu, when you have time, don't forget to go to South Third Ring and make them for your grandma. She loves this kind of richly sauce-flavored fish entrails."

"Alright, Dad. When I'm not busy, I'll buy some fish entrails and go with Yueyue."

Still flustered, Chen Yan immediately asked, "Let me know when you go. I want to visit Grandma too."

Being flustered is one thing, but missing out on delicious food? Chen Yan absolutely must be there. This is a matter of principle.

Lin Xu picked up a piece of Fish Roe and tasted it. Mmm, the sauce flavor and the fresh taste of the Fish Roe combined perfectly. Coupled with the precise cooking, the texture was excellent; the more he chewed, the more fragrant the Fish Roe became.

Delicious.

After finishing it, he took a couple of mouthfuls of rice, thoroughly enjoying himself.

Han Shuzhen initially had no interest in things like fish entrails, always finding them fishy and unclean. But smelling the fish entrails her son-in-law had cooked, she was instantly tempted.

The fish entrails glistened with a rich, red sauce. She didn't know which part it was, so she casually picked a piece with her chopsticks and tasted it. It was surprisingly smooth and tender, with a delightful crispness when chewed.

"Which part is this? It's so delicious!"

"Those are Fish intestines. Eating more is good for your skin."

Lin Xu didn't know if Fish intestines were actually good for one's health, but he knew that adding that comment would make his mother-in-law eat more happily.

Sure enough, upon hearing it was good for her skin, Han Shuzhen deliberately picked out the Fish intestines from the basin and began to eat them. Shen Baobao and Chen Yan, seeing this, also started eating the Fish intestines.

Mmm, if it's good for the skin, then it absolutely cannot be missed.

Seeing this, Shen Guofu immediately picked up a fish maw and began to eat with relish!

The fish maw had a soft yet resilient texture, chewy and delicious. Coated in the rich, savory, and slightly spicy sauce, eating a piece followed by a couple of mouthfuls of rice was an incredibly comforting experience.

After finishing one bowl of rice, he got up and served himself another. Then, he spooned some of the fish entrail sauce into his rice and stirred it. The oily, rich sauce tightly coated every grain.

Lifting a spoonful to his mouth, the deliciousness almost made him want to cry out.

"These fish entrails with rice are absolutely divine! I'll have to get another bowl later."

In ancient times, Wu Erlang couldn't cross the ridge after three bowls; today, our Old Shen won't leave the table after three bowls!

"Wow, not only are the fish entrails delicious, but all the other dishes are amazing too! Lin Xu, what are you making for dinner? Will there be this many delicious dishes?"

Shen Baobao, while enjoying the tasty food, began to look forward to dinner.

Lin Xu, munching on rice mixed with fish entrail sauce, said, "This afternoon, I need to make a few braised dishes so it doesn't delay tomorrow's soft opening."

Braised dishes?

Shen Guofu's eyes lit up instantly.

It was frustrating enough not to have a drink with the fish entrails at lunch. Now that there would be braised dishes in the afternoon, he absolutely had to have a couple of drinks to satisfy his craving.

But how could he smoothly get to drink?

He thought for a moment, then muttered softly, "The car felt off while driving today, very jerky. It seems it's time to have Zou Cheng take it for maintenance, to prevent any problems."

Haha, once the car is gone, I'll be able to drink.

However, he had no sooner spoken than Shen Baobao said, "Okay, okay! In that case, when you go back this afternoon, you can drive the G-Wagen back. We have our own car now, so we won't need to drive yours."

Shen Guofu: ?????

Daughter, are you doing this on purpose?
