Chapter 163: Senior Brother This Crab is Almost Drowned Shall We Steam It? [Extra for Subscribers]_3


Then he scooped up a piece of lung and popped it in his mouth. It was soft and mixed with the rich, savory flavor of the lamb soup. It was just perfect!

Eating lamb offal is all about enjoying the different textures and flavors from various parts of the lamb.

Take a bite of the lamb offal, then a bite of the crispy, crumbly flatbread.

Meanwhile, grab a spoon to scoop up some steaming hot soup. The taste is really refreshing.

There's no need to rush eating the meat in the bowl. Start with the soup, and when it's nearly finished, add more soup to the bowl, along with an extra sprinkle of cilantro. Then continue eating both meat and soup together—it's delightful!

Unfortunately, Lin Xu didn't have the habit of drinking soup; otherwise, he would definitely have another bowl of such delicious soup.

Look, Mr. Yu has already had his bowl refilled twice.

After a satisfying meal, Mr. Yu insisted on paying, and they left the lamb soup shop one after the other.

At this moment, Lin Xu remembered about making winter melon candy. He looked at Mr. Yu, who was wiping sweat with a tissue, and asked, "Sir, do you have any white-skinned winter melons in your shop?"

Winter melons come in two types: green-skinned and white-skinned. The white-skinned variety grows slowly and is large, making it hard to sell, so it has largely been replaced by the smaller, faster-growing, higher-yielding green-skinned winter melons.

But in terms of taste, the white-skinned winter melons have a better texture.

Mr. Yu shook his head. "Not today. All the ones delivered today were green-skinned. The white-skinned ones are becoming rarer. Do you need some? If so, I can get them for you tomorrow."

Lin Xu said, "Please get some. I'm planning to make some winter melon candy while it's not too busy."

"Winter melon candy? I love that! Can you make extra? I'll pay for the processing and cover the cost of the ingredients too. Wait for it tomorrow; I'll have someone send a small truckload of white-skinned winter melons over in the morning."

When they arrived at the shop's entrance, Mr. Yu went to his supermarket. Meanwhile, Lin Xu opened his shop door, checked again to ensure nothing was missed, then locked up and went upstairs to play with Dundun.

Since there were no white-skinned winter melons, he decided to go work at Fishing Platform today. It was also a good opportunity for Dundun to get familiar with the environment there.

Indeed, to increase the sales at Building Two, Xie Baomin specifically instructed Lin Xu to bring Dundun along to continue leveraging its specialty.

He didn't know that Dundun was a Divine Artifact; he thought it was just for show.

To make Dundun comfortable at Fishing Platform, Xie Baomin had taken the small cushion and cat litter box that Dundun used for sleeping on the cash register the night before.

It was a good thing too, because Lin Xu didn't want to leave Dundun at home alone.

So he agreed to it.

「Around eight in the morning.」

When Dou Wenjing came to work, Lin Xu was carrying Dundun downstairs.

At the shop's front door, after giving the shop keys to Dou Wenjing, he tossed the advertisements stuffed onto the windshield into a trash bin and then carried Dundun into the car.

He put on sunglasses, started the car, and headed straight to Fishing Platform.

Today, Lin Xu officially began working.

When Lin Xu arrived at the entrance of Fishing Platform, Xie Baomin was already waiting. Xie Baomin had a processed entry pass in hand. He opened the car door, sat in the passenger seat, and placed the pass behind the windshield.

With this pass, the large G-Class SUV could now easily enter and exit Fishing Platform.

After parking the car at Building Two, Lin Xu got out with Dundun and followed Xie Baomin into the restaurant of Building Two.

On the front desk, the small cushion that Dundun used to sleep on was already laid out. Next to it was a pink pillow—a perfect fit for Dundun, the tough guy.

Just as he entered the door, a twenty-six or twenty-seven-year-old woman in professional attire came over with a smile. Seeing Dundun in Lin Xu's arms, her eyes lit up, and her steps quickened. "Wow, are you Dundun? What a cute little cat, can I hold you?"

She was very beautiful, with her hair tied up at the back of her head and light makeup on her face. Her smile was warm and inviting, making anyone feel at ease.

Lin Xu didn't mind Dundun being held by others and said with a smile, "Sure, but my cat might not agree…"

Before he finished his sentence, Dundun straightened up in his arms, leaning his upper body toward the front desk manager like a child begging to be picked up.

Lin Xu was speechless. My dear boy, must you embarrass me in front of outsiders like this!

"I am Shu Yun. Welcome to Building Two, Mr. Lin."

"You know me?"

"You helped our Building Two win the championship. Everyone at Fishing Platform knows you! If we didn't know you dislike big fusses, we would've had a welcoming line."

Lin Xu had been slightly worried that Dundun wouldn't adapt well. But there he was, comfortably curling up in Shu Yun's arms, looking rather content.

"Let's leave Dundun at the reception then. I'll go with my Senior Brother to check the kitchen."

"Sure, Mr. Lin. I'll take good care of him."

Passing through the serene and classy dining area, Lin Xu was led by Xie Baomin to the kitchen of Building Two.

The spacious kitchen was almost mistakable for a factory workshop, featuring a dry goods storage room, a pickled goods storage room, a fresh goods storage room, a roast meat preparation area, and a vegetable washing station.

As he walked along, Lin Xu felt like Old Lady Liu entering the Grand View Garden—truly an eye-opener.

He made a round, greeted the chefs, and then arrived at his own cooking station.

Indeed, to better prepare the dish 'Home,' not only did Lin Xu have a dedicated station, but also an extra-large worktable.

After acquainting himself with the environment, Lin Xu remembered the Crab Bun he had promised Shen last night and curiously asked his Senior Brother, "Senior Brother, where is the seafood kept here? I'd like to check it out and maybe get some inspiration for the new shop."

Xie Baomin led him to the seafood area. This was divided into freshwater and seawater areas, housing various kinds of lively seafood.

"These are some of our regular offerings. If we have customers with special requests, we also make advance orders. For example, last year, we had a customer who wanted to eat a Giant Grouper, and we had a sixty to seventy catty Giant Grouper shipped directly from Hainan."

Giant Grouper? This was beyond Lin Xu's knowledge.

"Senior Brother, what's a Giant Grouper?"

"It's a huge type of Grouper, big in size and good in texture. It's perfect except for being pricey."

While looking around, Lin Xu noticed the crabs in the freshwater section. "Are these the June Yellows?"

"Yes, this batch of June Yellows is top-notch. Not only are they big, but they're also rich in roe. They're suitable for direct consumption or as a filling in dishes like Crab Yellow Tofu…"

As he was speaking, Lin Xu pointed at several motionless crabs in the water and said, "Senior Brother, these crabs seem to have drowned. Shall we steam them?"
