Having been given a second chance at life, Lin Zhou now focuses on doing whatever he wants.
There's no need to do anything according to so-called normal procedures.
So what if my days and nights are reversed? It's not like I haven't been sleeping at all.
It doesn't bother anything.
Following the fishing spot map provided by Pan Yuan, he arrived at a riverbank and prepared to night fish.
I was completely absorbed in it until dawn.
"Holy crap, it's already seven o'clock!"
The skill of catching fish with perfect accuracy is so useful.
Every time the hook bites, it's a surprise, because you never know what you'll catch.
It could be a fish, or it could be any kind of thing.
Lin Zhou was having a great time until he felt a bit hot and realized it was already seven o'clock.
Quickly reel in the fish, put it in the hook, and retreat.
I was extremely panicked.
I need to go to the market to buy groceries, then go home to braise meat. I have to set up my stall around 10 o'clock, and I'm running out of time!
Fishing is such a waste of time!
He swore he would never go fishing again tomorrow!
......
While fishing, Lin Zhou searched online for other braised meat roll stalls and found that they offered a wide variety of flavors.
Today he also plans to braise some other ingredients and develop a few other varieties to enrich the menu.
Besides pork belly, he also bought beef shank and tripe.
The vegetables also included onions, green peppers, and crisp lotus root.
Carrying a full load of ingredients home, Lin Zhou first soaked the meat in water to remove the blood, then quickly took a shower and changed into clean clothes before starting to prepare the braised meat.
Fresh ingredients have relatively little blood foam, so there's no need to blanch them; they can be directly put into the braising liquid for braising.
Once the brine and ingredients have boiled, simply skim off any foam that rises to the surface.
If the blood foam remains in the pot for too long, it will make the food taste fishy.
Even when blanching, the blood foam that rises to the surface should be skimmed off.
After simmering for more than half an hour, and once you're sure there's no more scum, you can put the lid on the stainless steel pot and simmer it over low heat.
To ensure the meat is flavorful, it needs to be stewed for at least two hours and then soaked.
But he's making braised meat rolls, not braised dishes, so there's no need to soak them for a long time and wait for them to cool before selling.
When setting up a stall, a low flame is needed to continuously heat and keep the food warm.
With the braised meat taken care of, Lin Zhou began kneading the dough.
The two most important steps in making braised meat rolls are braising the meat and making the dough.
The flavors of the other ingredients, such as vegetables, beans, and eggs, depend on the flavor of the braising liquid and serve as a complement.
Before Lin Zhou could make up, he saw that the butler and the others had already arrived.
Having learned from yesterday's experience, everyone went to the kitchen to help prepare the ingredients.
The villa is cleaned every day, so there's no rush at all.
In other words, the kitchen needs to be big enough to accommodate several people working together.
Seeing the extra ingredients, Butler Sun cautiously inquired about Lin Zhou's plans and how he intended to handle them.
"Chop the onion into small pieces, cut the lotus root into strips, blanch it, and then I'll make a cold salad. Also, chop the green bell pepper into small pieces."
Sun Deye nodded and began to handle the matter.
"Sir, I delivered fish to Mr. Zhang's house yesterday and brought back a box of tea. Mr. Zhang said it was a good tea given to him by a friend, and he wanted you to try it. I put it in the display case."
"Okay, brew me a pot to try in a bit."
Lin Zhou had gotten used to Uncle Zhang's frequent deliveries.
"I caught the fish last night. I'll kill it and make it into smoked fish before sending it over. I don't think they'll like to eat live fish if I send too many."
Having spent a considerable amount of time with the Zhang family, Lin Zhou had come to understand their tastes.
Compared to salty and spicy flavors, the father and son seem to prefer sweeter flavors.
Since Lin Zhou started using cheat codes, he's had a successful fishing trip every time he goes fishing.
He doesn't really like eating fish. Eating it every few days is fine, but he can't stand eating it every day.
When I came back from fishing this morning, I ran into two security guards at the gate and gave each of them a fish.
As he caught more fish, he also developed a hobby of giving fish to people.
He didn't understand Pan Yuan before, but now he understands him just like him.
Sending fish to someone is a subtle way of showing off your catch, and it's quite satisfying.
The housekeeper and the others didn't understand Lin Zhou's little scheme. They just thought that the master had a good relationship with the Zhang family and that they often exchanged food and gifts.
Seeing that the ingredients were almost ready, Lin Zhou put on gloves and made a dozen or so braised meat rolls. He ate two for lunch, left the rest for the housekeeper and the others, and asked the housekeeper to send a few to Uncle Zhang before setting off to set up his stall.
......
As it approached the time for Lin Zhou to set up his stall, Wen Nan didn't seem anxious at all. He had a day off yesterday, but he still had a lot of work to do and had been busy all morning. He hadn't even finished get off work by 11 a.m.
They don't get off work until noon.
Given how popular Mr. Lin's stall is, by the time he gets there at midnight, he might already be closing up shop.
So the moment he met Lin Zhou yesterday, he bought all of the more than one hundred braised meat rolls.
He had food to eat and wasn't in a hurry at all, but Xiao Wang next to him was extremely anxious.
"What should we do? We haven't finished get off work yet, and Boss Lin has already set up his stall. I saw that many people in the group have posted photos of themselves checking in and waiting at the temple."
"I find that so strange, don't they all go to work?"
Tuesday morning, shouldn't people be at work at this hour?
After muttering to himself for a while, Xiao Wang saw that Wen Nan remained silent, without even a change in expression, focused solely on her work, and a question mark slowly appeared on his face.
"No, you're not worried at all?"
Wen Nan stopped typing and turned to look at Xiao Wang. "Didn't I bring you two braised pork rolls this morning? Why did you eat them in such a hurry?"
Xiao Wang: !!!
"I got even more eager after tasting it! I've never had such fragrant braised pork rolls before. Two weren't enough, I need to eat three!"
"No, it's 10:30. I have to hurry over and grab a seat. I'll tell the boss I'm not feeling well and ask for a few hours off to see a doctor."
Wen Nan: ......
"Alright, then hurry back."
Wen Nan waved his hand and continued working. He had passed by a breakfast shop in the morning, bought a bowl of spicy soup, and ate it with two braised meat rolls. It was so delicious.
After freezing, the braised meat rolls were not much different from the ones I ate yesterday after being microwaved.
Wrapped in oil paper and heated together, the steam didn't get into the braised meat rolls. Instead, the heat helped to blend the flavors of all the ingredients better, resulting in a delicious taste.
Wen Nan was quite satisfied and stopped worrying about queuing up.
Xiao Wang felt a little uncomfortable seeing Wen Nan's lack of reaction, but his eagerness to buy braised meat rolls took over, and he quickly clutched his stomach and went into the boss's office without thinking.
After taking leave, I went straight to the temple.
......
Meanwhile, at the temple entrance, the diners who had arrived early to check in remembered what Wen Nan had posted in the group yesterday about how efficacious the temple was. Seeing that they still had some time, they went to a nearby lottery shop and bought a dozen scratch-off tickets before entering the temple.
