Chapter 903: Chapter 384: Young People Are the Future! When Your Father-in-Law Brings Golden Pomfret, of Course You Should Pan-Fry It!

Xie Baomin immediately said:

"Make him eat a bowl of eggs boiled in young boy’s urine, and drink the soup too!"

As soon as this guy spoke, the atmosphere in the meeting room changed dramatically.

Old Dai chimed in:

"And have a meal of cow stomach hotpot."

Seeing the two speaking out, other head chefs eagerly added:

"Next time we have a dinner party, he should wash the beef intestines, stomach, and tripe by himself!"

"Eat a piece of intestine sashimi no less than twenty centimeters long!"

"Chew ten bighead carp fish gallbladders."

"Eat a can of herring!"

"Chew half a pound of the king of peppers raw!"

"..."

Seeing everyone getting more and more outrageous, Liao Jinming tapped the table speechlessly:

"Stop trying to take advantage of this opportunity to get free meals and drinks. We must maintain the quality of the dishes. From now on, all dishes must be cooked by the head chefs, not apprentices. If any head chef is caught slacking off, they’ll have to eat what you just mentioned."

As soon as these words were out, everyone fell silent.

Some even regretted joining in with Old Xie’s jokes.

After the meeting was over, everyone returned to their own buildings and began inspecting the kitchens from top to bottom.

If there are problems, fix them; if not, still stay alert.

Additionally, all dishes served in the restaurant need to be checked by the head chef before serving, to minimize the risk of any mishaps.

Yingchun Street, Lin Ji’s Food.

Lin Xu, who was busy teaching Ji Minghui how to make Silver Threads Bun, had no idea that some state-owned restaurants were gearing up for a strategic shift.

He hadn’t planned on adding Silver Threads Bun to the menu, but after uploading the tutorial this afternoon, netizens were tempted, or more precisely, by the love-filled flavor of the buns.

Nobody paid much attention to the actual cooking process; they were more entertained by witty comments scrolling onscreen. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

But at the end of the video, during Shen Baobao’s taste test, everyone was truly envious.

They craved the sweet love depicted and the delicious-looking Silver Threads Bun.

After receiving calls from customers, Shu Yun immediately suggested Lin Xu introduce the new Silver Threads Bun.

There was no reason to turn down such easy money.

Plus, the video was quite popular, likely sparking a trend across the web, so it was smart to introduce the buns before other shops caught wind and took advantage of the opportunity.

Thanks to this unexpected development, Lin Xu was unable to attend the meeting he planned at Fishing Platform.

"Making hand-pulled noodles is too difficult for you guys, and not very efficient. So I think using a noodle machine is better, but you must be generous with the ingredients."

"Got it, boss. We will."

Based on the principle that smaller pieces of dough look more exquisite and fetch a better price, Lin Xu and Ji Minghui deliberately made the Silver Threads Bun small.

After finishing them, they placed them in a delicate wooden steamer. When served, the lid is lifted, adding to the delightful presentation.

"For now, we’ll offer two flavors of Silver Threads Bun: milky and brown sugar. If they sell well, we’ll add more flavors later."

The milky flavor is the original version that Lin Xu made yesterday, but he added milk powder to emphasize the creamy taste.

As for the brown sugar flavor, the sugar is melted in advance and brushed on during the oiling step. It’s difficult for these buns to not taste delicious this way.

While in the midst of busy work, Wei Qian came into the pastry section:

"Lin Xu, your father-in-law is here."

Oh?

Lately, my father-in-law had been happily eating diet meals and doing fitness exercises. What brings him to the restaurant today?

Lin Xu dusted off the flour on his hands and said to Ji Minghui:

"Practice more, don’t worry about wasting dough. Worst case, the employees can eat Silver Threads Bun for the next few days. I’ll go see what’s up."

Outside, he saw Shen Guofu, who had noticeably lost weight, wearing a black hooded fleece sweatshirt under a denim jacket, looking like he was hanging out with his peers.

"Dad, your outfit sure makes you look young!"

"Your mother-in-law insisted it looked good on me, even said I look more handsome than twenty years ago... It’s better than wearing dress pants with a polo shirt every day, right?"

Definitely better. That outfit makes him look more like my uncle, the department head.

Lin Xu smiled and asked:

"You look great. Did you come for a reason today?"

Let’s figure out if you’re here for something specific. If it’s to handle business, we’ll do that; if it’s to have dinner, I’ll start cooking some meat now.

Father-in-law has lost so much weight, he should have some meat to nourish himself.

"Old Tan called me, said it’s been a while since we drank together. After discussing with your mother-in-law, we decided to come to the restaurant tonight. A friend also gifted me a few large, high-quality Golden Pomfrets, so I brought them along. How do you think they should be cooked?"

Golden Pomfret?

Lin Xu saw a large foam box on the table. Opening it, he saw several sea gold pomfrets, each the size of a plate, gleaming gold all over—for which the fish is presumably named.

Such fresh fish of this quality deserves some thought on the best cooking method.

He thought for a moment and said:

"How about frying them dry? It’s perfect as a side dish with liquor, and only dry frying can fully enhance the flavor of such fresh fish."

Shen Guofu naturally had no objections.

He laughed and said:

"Do as you see fit, anything works. Today we’re just indulging a little to satisfy our cravings."

Speaking of satisfying cravings, let’s also make a dish of dry-burned Golden Pomfret with pork fat.
