Timeline rewind.

"Ding~"

Ling stepped out of the elevator as she returned to her neighborhood and saw her wooden door wide open.

Through the gap in the stainless steel security door, she could see the lights inside the house.

No need to guess, she knew her husband, Lin Zhihua, was back.

"Honey, I'm back..." She opened the stainless steel security door, placed the food bag on the entrance counter, and called out while changing her shoes.

"Oh, you're back..."

Lin Zhihua responded promptly and came to greet her: "You got back pretty fast, was the road free of traffic?"

"No traffic, it was smooth all the way."

He immediately asked the most concerned question: "How did your conversation with our daughter go? Is she feeling better?"

"It went well. She's feeling much better now, don't worry."

"That's good then."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhihua put his anxious heart at ease, suddenly remembered something, and quickly asked: "Then what did you bring her for dinner tonight? You didn't order those fried chicken and burger takeouts again, did you? I'm telling you, our daughter needs to strengthen her nutrition right now. Stop giving her these unhealthy junk foods; it will affect her health."

He has always been uninterested in food from outside restaurants.

If he could avoid it, he would.

He always feels that the ingredients in those meals are not fresh and not clean.

During workdays, he always eats in the company canteen, never ordering takeout.

Even when dining out occasionally, he opts for those healthy and clean restaurants.

Therefore, he has always been against takeout food.

Upon hearing her husband's words, Ling shook her head helplessly: "Don't worry, I brought our daughter some steamed ribs with lotus leaves and glutinous rice, pan-fried buns, and braised pig trotters!"

Hey!

Aren't they the same!

He immediately felt overwhelmed: "Aren't these all street snacks? I've told you many times before, these snacks are unhygienic and greasy. Not just our daughter, but even you shouldn't eat too much of them, and these braised pig trotters! Many are leftovers from the previous day that are re-braised..."

"Stop... you can't just denounce all small eateries! I think many small restaurants are quite good, like this 'Delicious Restaurant' I packed from tonight. Not only is it tasty, but the ingredients are fresh and nutritious. I even got you a portion of steamed ribs with lotus leaves and glutinous rice, pan-fried buns, and braised pig trotters. You'll know once you try it."

Ling quickly interrupted him, pulling him to the dining room, and sat him down at the dining table.

Then she opened the food bag, swiftly took out the food containers inside.

The warm touch at her fingertips told her that the food was still warm.

Ling placed the food containers in front of Lin Zhihua, opened the lids, and tore open the lotus leaves.

"How much ribs can be in these steamed lotus leaf packages? It's not just glutinous rice, right?"

Lin Zhihua couldn't help but make another comment.

But as soon as he looked down, he saw the glutinous rice wrapped around the ribs, oozing with oil.

Wow!

The ribs were abundant, visible everywhere, and quite sizable.

He awkwardly chuckled and changed his tune: "I didn't expect there to be so many ribs!"

"Huh? There's a fresh meaty aroma too!" He's knowledgeable in food, seeking quality ingredients.

Ling handed him a spoon: "Honey, I wouldn't let you and our daughter eat anything unhealthy. Trust me, try this steamed ribs with lotus leaves and glutinous rice. I'm telling you, even our daughter said it's delicious and specifically requested I bring food from this restaurant in the next few days!"

Thinking about her wife's personality, if the food from this restaurant wasn't tasty or clean, she wouldn't have brought it back for him to eat.

Plus, seeing that this steamed ribs with lotus leaves and glutinous rice was indeed well-filled and fresh, he couldn't help but believe her a bit more.

He took the spoon, scooped a mouthful, and tasted it.

First, it was the delicate texture, with the glutinous rice absorbing the rib's oil, chewy yet tender, fragrant yet not greasy.

The aroma of scallions and diced mushrooms added depth to the flavor without overshadowing the main dish.

Furthermore, the ribs were steamed until tender and flavorful, the meat separating from the bone with a bite, tender and savory!

Full of flavor!

The mingling of rice aroma, meat aroma, and lotus leaf aroma!

Very delicious!

He closed his eyes in enjoyment.

Once the meat and rice was all swallowed, he opened his eyes and couldn't help but exclaim: "This steamed ribs with lotus leaves and glutinous rice is great! The ribs must be from native pigs."

Who would've thought such a dish of steamed ribs with lotus leaves and glutinous rice was indeed quite commendable.

Cough, cough, cough, I must say!

Lin Zhihua found it even better than the steamed ribs with lotus leaves and glutinous rice he ordered at hotels.

Seeing her husband enjoying his meal, Ling was happy too.

"See! I told you the ingredients here are fresh and good."

She smiled and quickly suggested: "Try the pan-fried buns with three fresh vegetarian fillings and the braised pig trotters too, they're all delicious."

Speaking of which, she couldn't help but pick up a spoon and take a big bite of the glutinous rice ribs.

As soon as she tasted it.

She nodded in enjoyment.

Hmm~

The ribs, pre-soaked and marinated, were delicious and tender.

Paired with mushrooms, it was fragrant but not greasy.

The glutinous rice, soaked with rib fat, was soft, fragrant, and chewy!

Ah~

Eating the lotus leaf steamed pork ribs with glutinous rice from "So Delicious," the three-flavor vegetarian pan-fried buns from "So Delicious," and gnawing the braised pig trotters from "So Delicious," it was simply an incomparable visual and taste feast~

Satisfied with the meal, she joked, "Honey, after eating the lotus leaf steamed pork ribs with glutinous rice and the three-flavor vegetarian pan-fried buns, you should believe what I said, right? This Delicious Restaurant is truly conscientious and skilled!"

"Yes, yes, definitely!"

Lin Zhihua nodded vigorously, not missing a beat while eating.

He was completely bewitched by the delicious food!

He looked up at his wife, "Honey, where did you find such a tasty place?"

"It was discovered by a colleague at my bank. I was fortunate to taste a bit of the century egg and lean pork congee she bought, and I was instantly hooked. Today I happened to be visiting our daughter, so I thought of packing some for her. Then I thought, since I was already lining up, it would be a waste not to buy some for myself, so I decided to bring back a couple of portions for you and me. Let me tell you, luckily I took off work early to stand in line; if I had waited until after work, I probably wouldn't have been able to buy any."

"Wow... is it that popular? It's almost as popular as an internet-famous store." Lin Zhihua thought, just based on this level of ingredients and taste, it was worth waiting in line for.

The couple continued eating, immersed in the delicious food.

Almost everything brought home tonight was eaten up.

Even Lin Yuru's portion of the three-flavor vegetarian pan-fried buns and braised pig trotters were all eaten by Lin Zhihua.

...

Delicious Restaurant.

Huang Tao, after closing for the day, put the cleaned eggs into clear water to boil.

Once it boiled, he simmered them on low heat for five minutes before turning off the heat.

Then he let them sit for another 10 minutes.

Eggs cooked this way have just the right texture, retaining the maximum nutrition and offering a perfect taste.

When the time was up, he took the boiled eggs out and shocked them in cold water.

"Papa, what are you cooking so many eggs for? Are you going to sell marinated eggs?" Xuanxuan blinked her big pretty eyes.

Huang Tao didn't hold back the praise: "Xuanxuan, you're so smart! You guessed it right."

Pleased by the compliment, Xuanxuan's face lit up with a radiant smile: "Papa, do all these eggs need to be peeled? Can I help you peel them?"

"Sure!"

Seeing that her dad agreed, she reached into the basin, picked up an egg, and gently tapped it against the table's edge. The egg cracked with a "dong" sound, and she began peeling it bit by bit with some effort.

Huang Tao laughed when he saw it: "Xuanxuan, do you want Papa to show you a fun trick to peel eggs?"

"Yes, yes!"

Huang Tao took a large transparent glass cup, grabbed 5 eggs, placed them on the table, covered them with the glass, and shook them like dice.

This trick he had learned long ago from a movie.

He had practiced it for a very long time!

Xuanxuan immediately widened her pretty eyes in surprise and curiosity as she watched the glass cup in Huang Tao's hand shaking.

Inside the glass cup, the eggshells gradually fell off.

Quickly!

Inside the glass cup were only 6 clean, smooth white eggs left...

"Wow... Papa knows magic! Papa is amazing!"

Xuanxuan clapped her little hands excitedly, and the egg in her hand fell to the ground with a "plop."

Mimi darted forward, picked it up, and ran away.

Huang Tao: "..."

That Mimi, such a little rascal!

But he didn't stop it, after all, it got the egg with its own effort.

Besides, since it was already in the cat's mouth, it would just end up in the trash if he took it back. Better to let it fill the cat's belly.

"Huh? Where's my egg?"

Only now did Xuanxuan realize her egg was gone. She looked at her little hand, then at the table, and not seeing it there either, she quickly looked down at the floor but saw no sign of the egg.

Her little face showed a puzzled expression.

So strange~

Did my egg grow legs and run away?
