Chapter 906 - 385: Silver Threads Bun Goes Viral, Sells Like Hotcakes! Dealing with Smart People Is So Boring!
Back then, Liao Jinming considered Xie Baomin and Dai Jianli as two catfish, to keep the Fishing Platform’s kitchen vibrant.
Now, the scope of the catfish effect has expanded, swimming from a small pond into a lake.
Next, we’ll see if the whole lake can be stirred up.
Lin Xu watched Guo Xinghai devouring braised mutton and said with a smile:
"With today’s amount of chili, if your uncle were here, he would just taste it at most. I didn’t expect you’d gobble it down so eagerly, not just eating it, but mixing it with rice."
Guo Xinghai stuffed another mouthful of rice covered in red oil into his mouth:
"My mom is from Yu Zhou, eating spicy food is no problem for me."
No wonder.
Turns out he inherited the gene for spicy food.
"Boss, we prepared nearly a hundred Silver Threads Buns today, are we going to sell all of them?"
Ji Minghui shoveled rice, feeling like there might be too many Silver Threads Buns prepared today.
Lin Xu smiled and said:
"If we can’t sell them, we’ll have them for breakfast tomorrow. Don’t worry about this, as long as what we make isn’t hard to eat, we don’t have to worry."
If it were a small restaurant, they might worry about good wine also fearing deep alleys.
But Lin Ji is famous and has customers, and today the preparation method for Silver Threads Buns was just uploaded, it’s trending high, so there’s no chance of poor sales.
Even if, taking a step back, sales are poor, it won’t be an issue.
Just place a photo of Dundun next to the Silver Threads Bun with the text "Silver Threads Buns not selling, help us" and upload it online.
It would definitely sell out instantly.
After dinner, the restaurant got busy.
Chen Yan, carrying takeaway braised mutton, left with Zeng Xiaoqi in the car, while Dou Wenjing went back to the office for a bit, and the drinks for Shen Guofu and Tan Yajun were nearly finished.
Both times they drank, not too much, about half a catty each, just enough to split a whole bottle.
After eating and drinking their fill, they all went home to rest.
Han Shuzhen, after finishing dinner, came downstairs and hugged Dundun in her arms:
"Do you like wearing sweaters, little baby? Then Grandma will learn to knit a sweater and make you one, okay?"
As soon as she said that, Dundun nuzzled over with its round head, making Han Shuzhen very happy:
"Yueyue didn’t learn to knit sweaters when she was little. This time, even if I spend a hundred thousand yuan on tuition, I must learn it, so that the little one can wear a sweater knitted by Grandma, okay?"
On the side, Shen Baobao pouted:
"Is it true that every other generation gets along better? Make sure to knit several, with round necks, turtlenecks, and V-necks."
Director Han glanced at her daughter:
"Oh, now you’re giving me orders? You keep saying you’re Dundun’s mom, so why don’t you knit?"
"’Cause my mom never knitted for me either."
Han Shuzhen: "..."
Why not move the wedding up to New Year’s Day, really can’t stand having this daughter even for a moment.
If the wedding can’t be moved up then at least get the marriage license, get her out of the household register, so she doesn’t keep annoying me every day!
While the mother and daughter were playfully bickering, Yue Liyue and his little friends came in:
"That Silver Threads Bun... do you have it in the store today?"
Shu Yun, who was watching on the side, quickly said:
"Yes, yes, we have both milk flavor and brown sugar flavor. Just tell the server."
"Okay, okay!"
Han Shuzhen glanced at her daughter:
"The store’s making Silver Threads Buns?"
"Yeah, it’s the same kind you couldn’t bear to buy for me when I was little."
"Then why didn’t you take some out for me to try?"
"You’re going to disown me..."
"Silly girl, how could mom disown you?"
The boss lady and Director Han sure are interesting, their mother-daughter relationship sustained by delicious food... Shu Yun couldn’t help but laugh, and felt a bit envious after laughing.
Every time she chats with her mom, it’s either about not being married or not learning housework.
Just complaining endlessly.
Not like the boss lady, her mom and her are laughing and joking every day.
Such a mother-daughter relationship is really enviable.
Shen Baobao went upstairs, and soon took down a few Silver Threads Buns:
"Yesterday, there were even savory ones, with scallion oil Sichuan peppercorns and savory pork fat, tastier than the sweet ones which can get cloying."
Tonight’s meal was quite sumptuous, and Lin Xu didn’t have any particular fondness for Silver Threads Buns, thinking they were just pastries, his in-laws might not even appreciate them, so he didn’t put them on the table.
Little did he know his mother-in-law would actually like them.
After finishing his kitchen work, he specifically came down to say:
"Mom, if you like, I can make a few different flavors over the next couple of days, and try some with whole grains too. As long as you want to eat, there are plenty of variations of Silver Threads Buns."
"Okay, thank you, Xiao Xu."
"It’s no trouble."
Han Shuzhen tasted a brown sugar Silver Threads Bun. Even though her daughter was so-so, there was nothing to fault about her son-in-law.
During the wedding at the Spring Festival, they must gift the son-in-law a good car.
She couldn’t rely on her daughter for old age support, so the good things must be kept for the son-in-law.
After Shen Guofu had eaten and drank his fill and came downstairs, Shen Baobao strapped on the camera bag, hugged Dundun, and planned to go back with her parents to the basement to photograph Dundun playing billiards.
Even though it was photographed last time, the little guy clearly hadn’t had its fill of fun.
Today, let it have a merry time on the billiard table.
Not long after they left, the store got more crowded.
Everyone was there for the Silver Threads Buns, although they were just snack-like buns, as they were well-photographed, especially the final tasting session, it whetted everyone’s appetite in one go.
"I want two servings of Silver Threads Buns, one for here and one to go, mix the two flavors."
"I also want a mix of the two, to see whether the milk or brown sugar flavor is better."
