Chapter 562: Chapter 273: The Hand-torn Cabbage is Too Delicious! Quick Kimchi That Only Requires Hands, Super Simple! [Please Subscribe]

In the kitchen.

After the hand-torn cabbage was ready, as soon as it was placed on the workbench, two cameramen crowded over to start filming close-ups.

"It smells so good."

"Boss, your cooking is amazing!"

The cabbage on the plate was light green, its surface glistening with oil. A few drops of brown Steamed Fish Sauce clung to the rim, making it look very tempting.

After filming the close-ups, it was time for the taste-testing segment.

For an even better effect, Lin Xu specifically went to the adjacent main kitchen to get some rice.

He sat at the kitchen workbench and said to the camera, "Last time, I saw everyone saying that Dundun hadn’t come to taste-test for a long time. It’s not that I don’t let him eat; it’s just that the recent dishes have been too plain, too vegetarian. That little guy turns his nose up at them. Even if I brought him over, he’d just jump away."

He put on a woeful expression, like a parent whose child was going through a rebellious phase, his face full of helplessness. This made Geng Lele and Dou Wenjing, who were peeking from the doorway, laugh.

If you don’t want your son to work, then he won’t work. Why make excuses? Do you think we don’t know you’re a cat slave?

A few days ago, a pet supply company had approached Chen Yan, wanting Dundun to endorse their products for a handsome price.

It was a win-win proposition, but Lin Xu rejected it outright.

He only wanted Dundun to grow up happily. He didn’t want Dundun to be like those pet bloggers who constantly stage photos and torment their cats over and over again for clicks.

They call them ’fur babies’ all the time, but all they care about is business.

Holding a bowl of rice in front of the camera, Lin Xu picked up a piece of cabbage, tasted it, and remarked, "Hmm, fresh, fragrant, and crisp. Those who like it spicy can add more dried chili. This dish should highlight the toasted aroma of the chili. The numbing sensation shouldn’t be too strong; just a hint is fine."

He explained the key points of the dish as he ate. When he finished the rice in his bowl, the filming paused.

As soon as the camera was turned off, Geng Lele ran in excitedly with a bowl of rice, exclaiming, "WAHAHA, better lucky than early! I caught the hand-torn cabbage just in time! Let me help you taste the seasoning, Brother Xu."

Lin Xu looked at this quirky Little Mushroom Head and smiled helplessly.

No need to ask, she skipped class again.

I really wish The Buddha could keep this girl in line. If she keeps skipping school, what if she becomes a problem teen?

He said with a smile, "With so much rice, will you still have room for lunch?"

"I can’t worry about that now! You made it so fragrant, I have to dig in and satisfy my craving."

Geng Lele took her bowl, sat on the stool Lin Xu had just vacated, grabbed a pair of clean chopsticks from the side, and then picked up a piece of cabbage and put it in her mouth.

The moment the savory, crispy cabbage entered her mouth, her eyes lit up with delighted surprise. "Wow, this is the first time I’ve had such delicious hand-torn cabbage! Skipping class for this was totally worth it!"

Lin Xu: "..."

That’s what I call a self-confession.

He gathered the cabbage cores from the workbench into a basket, planning to film the pickled vegetable segment later.

Since he’d mentioned it in the video, he figured he might as well use the current downtime to film it.

After all, the method for quick-pickled vegetables was simple and easy to master. Even someone with no cooking experience could learn it; you could say it’s so easy, anyone with hands can do it.

The two cameramen were also adjusting their cameras and lighting.

The pickling would mainly be done at the workbench, so the camera mounted above the stove had to be moved, and the fill lights also needed repositioning.

At this time, Geng Lele was still immersed in the deliciousness of the cabbage.

She shouted toward the doorway, "Doudou, hurry in! This cabbage is so delicious... No, wait, I have to take a picture and post some ’early poison’ online."

After saying that, she took out her phone, aimed at the cabbage on the table to take a close-up shot, making sure her large bowl of rice was also prominent in the shot.

Mhm, dishes like this that go well with rice really need rice to make them even more appetizing. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

After taking the picture, Geng Lele posted it in their group chat and on the Lin Ji’s Food online topic page.

"Sampling Brother Xu’s hand-torn cabbage. A big bowl of rice like this should be enough to properly taste it, right? 😉"

In the group chat, Shen Baobao, who was slacking off at work, saw the post and her stomach immediately rumbled.

"@Lin Xu, Xubao, I want to eat hand-torn cabbage for lunch."

Chen Yan also quickly chimed in, "@Lin Xu, brother-in-law, make some extra hand-torn cabbage for lunch. I’ve managed to secure a major feature on a short-video platform for you; it’s guaranteed to make your follower count shoot up."

Posting such tempting food at this hour wasn’t ideal, as everyone had just eaten breakfast and wasn’t particularly hungry.

However, if the photo was good enough, stirring the appetites of these young folks wouldn’t be a problem.

Led by Shen Jiayue and Chen Yan, others also expressed their desire for the hand-torn cabbage, strongly requesting Lin Xu make extra for lunch. Even Qiang Bro, who was in Xi’erqi, wanted to find a delivery person to go and buy some.

And on the Lin Ji’s Food topic page, the comments on this post were even crazier:

"Seriously, Officer? Posting food temptation this early?"

"You used to post your food temptations at eleven. That was tough, but we could just about hold out until lunch. Now you’ve moved it up to nine! How am I supposed to get through the next few hours?"

"I thought it was the Boss Lady posting the temptation, didn’t expect it to be the High Priest!"

"Gotta say, this hand-torn cabbage looks incredible. That huge bowl of rice would probably only half-fill me."

"Now that we have hand-torn cabbage, can we get a Crystal Vermicelli Pot or Minced Meat with Vermicelli too? These ’rice killers’ are best when they commit their crimes as a group!"

"Rice: One ’killer’ wasn’t enough for you? Now you want them to team up against me?!"

"..."

While Geng Lele was happily scrolling through the comments, she noticed everyone else was busy. So, plate in one hand and rice bowl in the other, she slipped out of the kitchen.
