On the new day, after waking up, Lin Zhou, unusually, wanted to stay in bed.
So he skipped breakfast altogether.
There's a group chat at home too, but the villa is so big that you have to shout to talk, which isn't as convenient as sending messages on your phone.
Lin Zhou opened his eyes on Monday and immediately sent a message in the group chat saying that breakfast didn't need to be prepared for him and that he would get up later.
Lin Zhou spent two days at the pork stall getting to know the owner. He also needed to order large quantities, so every morning he would have the owner slaughter the pig and deliver a few pig legs directly to him.
A whole pig leg is divided into shank, back leg, four points, and tail, and then braised in batches.
As for the other necessary ingredients, they were given to Steward Sun to purchase.
Remembering the chili peppers I promised yesterday, I asked the housekeeper to bring back some more bird's eye chilies.
Bird's eye chili is quite spicy.
Lin Zhou then stayed in bed until 10 o'clock before getting up.
He recently became obsessed with a new game, and he gets really engrossed in it during his free time, playing it a lot.
Lin Zhou didn't get up, and the breakfast that Xiao Li and the others ate was made by Butler Sun.
Seeing that everyone had a poor appetite, Butler Sun's enthusiasm for cooking waned considerably.
"My taste buds have been spoiled by the boss these past few days, so I'm not used to eating Uncle Sun's cooking anymore."
Although everyone thought the same thing, Xiao Li's casual remark drew everyone's attention at the table.
The instructor held the rice ball and looked at Xiao Li as if he were a warrior.
Uncle Sun is the one who controls their food rations.
That's quite something to say!
Xiao Li held the basin and ate at a very fast pace.
Only when everyone was silent did he realize what he had said, and he slid to his knees very quickly.
"Uncle Sun, that's not what I meant. The food you made is the best I've ever eaten, besides the boss's. I could eat ten bowls of it!"
Butler Sun knew that Xiao Li didn't mean anything by it; he just spoke faster than he thought, blurting out whatever came to mind.
"It's alright. You can say these things to us, but you can't say them to the boss. After all, he's the boss. Cooking is just his hobby. We can just tag along and get some food. We can't have such thoughts, understand?"
Xiao Li nodded firmly; he understood this principle.
I don't know how much the boss is worth; we're not even on the same level.
It's almost unimaginable that the owner would have such a common hobby and frequently ride a tricycle to set up a stall.
How could I possibly expect to eat the boss's cooking every day?
I don't even dare to think about it.
Moreover, he gets to work alongside the boss, and while he might not get to eat every day, he can often enjoy the boss's cooking. If word got out, countless people would probably envy him.
His former colleagues would constantly beg him in the group chat to post pictures of the meals Mr. Lin cooked.
Even if you can't eat it, it's good to see it.
Then he posted it, and a bunch of people started yelling again.
He said he was both afraid his brother would suffer and afraid his brother would drive a Land Rover.
Envious and gritting their teeth.
Thinking of this, Xiao Li almost couldn't help but laugh.
Where can you find such a good job?
After breakfast, the housekeepers cleaned the house, and the housekeeper washed all the vegetables that had been bought that morning.
The meat for making the rolls also needs to be chopped properly.
They can handle the simple food preparation tasks without requiring much skill; Lin Zhou doesn't need to do them himself.
After Lin Zhou gets up, we'll stew the pork knuckle.
Season the ground pork and fry the rolled pork.
Then we need to make the chili sauce.
Compared to chili oil, Lin Zhou felt that a spicy sauce made with fresh chilies, similar to chopped chili peppers, would be more flavorful with braised pork trotters.
The combination of fresh and spicy flavors not only cuts through the richness of the food but also makes it a great accompaniment to rice.
Chop the chili peppers, add some salt and marinate until the water comes out. Drain the water, then add minced garlic, ginger, and white wine to marinate.
Even when the fresh chili peppers are chopped up, they still have a fairly strong spicy flavor.
Lin Zhou realized that this wasn't Sichuan, and it wasn't made entirely with bird's eye chilies.
I also added half a fresh red chili pepper, the kind that's not very spicy, and even a little sweet.
The chilies pickled this way have a very strong umami flavor. They can be pickled in the morning and left in the jar for a few hours before they are ready to eat.
We made and ate wontons together for lunch.
After eating braised pork trotters for two days, Lin Zhou wanted something lighter.
It just so happens that I haven't had wontons in a long time.
I made a lot at once, and I put the leftovers in the freezer. When I'm hungry, I just take them out and cook a bowl. It's convenient and delicious.
Lin Zhou cooks at home, and broth is an essential ingredient every day.
It's delicious even when used to cook cabbage, let alone small wontons.
After finishing their meal, a group of people lined up and lay down on a sofa where they could bask in the sun.
I feel so full, I don't want to move.
"Speaking of which, the floor-to-ceiling windows in this villa are really nice. In the dead of winter, with the heating on and the sun shining, it's so warm and cozy inside!"
Xiao Li was so sleepy he was almost falling asleep.
Rice Ball was lying at Lin Zhou's feet, probably already asleep.
"It's quite comfortable."
Even with a floor-to-ceiling window in the summer, it might not feel this comfortable.
The summer sun is scorching.
The winter sun isn't as hot, which makes it more comfortable.
Lin Zhou had been lying in bed for a long time in the morning, so now that he wasn't sleepy, he took out his phone and started playing games.
Winter is cold, and apart from setting up his stall, he doesn't want to go out to play.
Then, in the summer it gets hot, and apart from setting up a stall, I don't want to go out.
What a convenient excuse not to go out!
By evening, the small wontons he had eaten at noon weren't enough to fill him up, so Lin Zhou ate dinner before setting up his stall.
We arrived at Xiluopo a little later than usual.
The diners were getting impatient.
"Why hasn't Boss Lin arrived yet? Didn't he arrive around 5 o'clock a couple of days ago?"
"They haven't moved to a different location, have they?"
"No, Mr. Lin has been running his stall for so long, and although he has moved around a lot, he has never broken his word and never lies."
"It's probably due to traffic congestion; this is the time when students get out of school and people get off work."
"Who's going to keep watch at the alley entrance? We're getting really anxious waiting."
"Everyone is queuing up, who would be willing to leave? What if there are no seats left?"
"Here he comes, Mr. Lin is here!"
The initially restless crowd immediately quieted down upon seeing Lin Zhou's figure.
"Mr. Lin, you've finally arrived! I've been checking the time on my phone every second, I'm starting to doubt if it's right."
"I've finally waited for you, and I'm so glad I didn't give up!"
"Boss Lin, there are even more people queuing up today. Please remember to limit the quantity, or there won't be enough to eat later."
As Lin Zhou rode his tricycle past the line of people, they all excitedly greeted him and chatted with him.
Lin Zhou heard the respectful terms used by the crowd and was unable to reply.
The only thing they could do was nod repeatedly to show that they had heard.
...
The mother, who had been hiding around the corner watching her daughter, waited for a long time, only to see a stall selling braised pork trotters rice. Her expression instantly became uncontrollable.
Despite her daughter's insistence on returning to school, the mother booked a ticket for her and followed her all the way.
Disguised like a thief, thankfully the daughter was eager to return home and didn't notice her mother following behind.
The two arrived in Dongyong City smoothly in the afternoon.
