Where to eat isn't that important.

What matters is what you eat.

For instance, right now, with this plate of pig's head meat, even if you were to sit cross-legged on the ground at the entrance of an alley, you could still relish every bite.

After they took their seats, the waiter brought over a few more dishes. These had been prepared in advance, but everyone was focused on the pig's head meat, so they weren't served earlier.

Shen Guofu picked up a slice of the pig's head meat with his chopsticks and put it into his mouth. Chewing gently, a satisfied and blissful expression immediately appeared on his face.

Delicious! Absolutely tasty!

The moment the pig's head meat entered his mouth, he could taste the rich flavor of the marinade infused into the meat. When he chewed, the first thing he noticed was the bouncy and chewy Pork Skin.

The Pork Skin was salty and fragrant, carrying the aroma of the marinade. The meat inside had also become dense and compact due to being pressed, making it chewy while still retaining the distinctive flavor of pig's head meat. Even better was the crunchy pig's ear in the middle, which added an extra bit of fun to chewing the pig's head meat.

A single slice of pig's head meat allowed one to experience the chewiness of the Pork Skin, the crunchiness of the ear, the aroma of the lean meat, and the richness of the fat—a variety of textures intertwined. It just wouldn't be right without a drink.

After swallowing a mouthful of meat, Shen Guofu couldn't wait to open the bottle cap and poured himself a glass of Liquor.

He lifted his glass and took a small sip.

Phew... truly satisfying!

"I never thought pressed pig's head meat could be this delicious," he said. "The texture is so much firmer, and it tastes amazing."

Han Shuzhen didn't use to like pig's head meat, always finding it too greasy. But today, after tasting one slice, she couldn't stop.

Shen Guofu, eager to drink more, held the Liquor bottle towards Han Shuzhen and asked, "Dear, would you like some? This pig's head meat really needs to be paired with Liquor; the more you chew, the more fragrant it gets."

"Really? Then pour me a small cup."

Upon hearing this, Shen Guofu quickly picked up an empty cup nearby and poured her a cup of Liquor.

Haha! Once she has a drink, tonight's aerial yoga won't happen. Old Shen is indeed a clever BOY! Son-in-law, you should take notes. This is all experience accumulated from daily life!

Han Shuzhen, who had a higher tolerance for alcohol than Shen Guofu, took a sip of the Liquor, then picked up another slice of pig's head meat to taste. It was indeed quite good; no wonder those who drank couldn't do without pig's head meat.

While drinking and eating, she didn't forget about the evening's fitness routine. "Since we've had some Liquor, let's skip the aerial yoga. You can just run five kilometers on the treadmill instead. Sweat it out, and you'll sleep even better."

Shen Guofu was speechless. Son-in-law, you'd better not learn from me. Your father-in-law is a cautionary tale...

After Lin Xu finished slicing the pig's head meat, he quickly mixed a dipping sauce using fragrant vinegar, Garlic Paste, and Sesame Oil.

It wasn't until he placed the sauce on the dining table that he realized his in-laws were drinking Liquor. They weren't driving today; had even his mother-in-law decided to let loose?

After the dipping sauce was set on the table, everyone picked up a piece of meat and dipped it.

Hmm, this sauce was well-made; the sour fragrance of the vinegar and the flavor of the Garlic Paste significantly neutralized the greasiness of the pig's head meat, making it much more refreshing to eat. The key was that the sauce enhanced the meat's flavor, making it utterly irresistible.

Chen Yan couldn't stop praising as she ate, "Brother-in-law, your cooking skills are truly unmatched! You've managed to elevate simple pig's head meat to such a high level."

Lin Xu smiled and said, "This is nothing special yet. Wait until I make the Crystal Pork Hock tomorrow. That's going to be truly high-end."

Crystal Pork Hock is a summer cold dish. It's not only refreshingly cold and delicious but also beautiful to look at. The white hock meat is enveloped in a crystal-clear, jelly-like aspic. Just looking at it is a delight, let alone eating it.

Hearing "Crystal Pork Hock?", Shen Guofu, who was drinking, and the group of socialites (including Chen Yan) nearby, all unconsciously turned to look at Lin Xu. "When will you make it tomorrow?" one of them asked.

"I'll start in the morning, and it will be ready by noon."

The Crystal Pork Hock needs to be blanched then boiled. After that, it has to be sliced and steamed together with Pork Skin. Once steamed, it goes into the fridge to cool down. It's not difficult, but it is time-consuming, so preparations must start early in the morning.

Upon hearing it would be ready by noon, Shen Baobao breathed a sigh of relief. Starting tomorrow at noon, she would be driving over to the shop to help deliver lunch for the audit firm, so it would be perfect timing to taste the Crystal Pork Hock.

Awesome! Since Xu said it looked good, it must be stunning!

Nearby, Chen Yan, still eating meat, was secretly rejoicing. It's a good thing she moved the company close to Yingchun Street. Tomorrow at noon, she could just stroll over with a parasol and enjoy a meal at the shop. No need to worry about her cousin 'food-poisoning' her with tempting posts anymore, and maybe she could even return the favor in the future!

While the family was enjoying their meal, Lin Xu saw Xu Xinhua walking past with a bowl, heading upstairs. He asked curiously, "What's in there?"

"It's the pig's brain we scooped out when pressing the pig's head this afternoon. I was planning to go upstairs and ask them what would be good to make with it."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Shen Guofu chimed in, "Steam it with Egg! Make Steamed Egg with Brain. It's fresh and tender."

"Steamed Egg with Brain?" Shen Baobao immediately said, "That sounds so delicious! Xu, I want to eat it. Can you make it for me?"

President Chen also looked over with an expectant expression. Clearly, she also wanted to boost her brainpower... ahem, she also wanted to taste it.

Her mother-in-law, Han Shuzhen, added, "Eating brain is good. It's nourishing, calming, and brain-strengthening." Although she didn't say more, her face was filled with anticipation.

Seeing that his family was quite eager, Lin Xu stood up and said, "Zhuang Yizhou seems quite good at steamed and stewed dishes. I'll go ask him to teach me how to steam this kind of ingredient."

He took the bowl containing the pig's brain and strode upstairs.
