Chapter 1523: Chapter 588: I’m Done Pretending—I’m Here to Film an Ad! Dumplings and Drinks, the More You Drink, the More There Is!

Using oil to seal the chive cuts can effectively prevent the chives from releasing juice.

In addition to oil, Lin Xu also cracked two raw eggs into the mix; this is another secret weapon to stop chives from releasing juice.

After mixing the chives, all the cooled fried eggs, shrimp cubes, and shrimp paste are added, along with seasoning, and then mixed evenly.

At this moment, Niu Chuan and Ji Minghui each have a rolling pin and are starting to roll out the dough. Ma Zhiqiang and Zhuang Yizhou join them, scoop a small bowl of dumpling filling, take a stack of dumpling wrappers, set up a steaming pan, and each find a spot to start wrapping.

For them, wrapping dumplings isn’t difficult at all.

But with so many people wrapping together, it’s quite lively.

Outside the kitchen, Shu Yun brings several waiters to help, while a chef from the dim sum department holds a board and rolling pin, cuts another piece of dough, and begins to work outside.

Everyone is wrapping, and Han Shuzhen and her husband, along with Chen Yuejin and his wife, accompany the elderly Mrs. Shen upstairs.

"Hello, Grandma!"

Shu Yun and the others greet the elderly lady promptly.

Mrs. Shen smiles and says:

"I thought today we’d spend quite a bit of time wrapping dumplings, but you all started early; it’s good having more people, it’s lively. Shuzhen, you and Guofang wash your hands and join in—I, the old woman, won’t join in the bustle."

Han Shuzhen agrees instantly:

"I told Lin Xu yesterday I’d help wrap dumplings today."

Mrs. Shen sits down and looks at Chen Yuejin, asking:

"Can Xiao Jie come eat today?"

"Yes, when I arrived, I called him. Today he’s not busy and can get off work as usual."

Just yesterday, they finished a major case, and today half of Ren Jie’s team is on rotation leave; the other half is organizing case files, tidying the evidence chain stuff all together.

These will need to be presented during the prosecution.

"Eating dumplings needs a big family; it tastes better with noise and bustle."

Shen Guofu sits down, sees a Fishing Platform tote bag nearby, opens it, and finds a sack of Lieba inside.

He was already craving Lieba after talking about it yesterday.

Seeing the Lieba now, he doesn’t hesitate to take one out, breaks off a piece, and tastes it:

"Wow, this Lieba is nice, quite chewy...Mom, brother-in-law, you should also try it, probably brought back by Lin Xu from Fishing Platform."

Could the diet Lieba my wife talks about be this stuff?

If it’s this, old Shen wouldn’t get tired eating it till New Year, it’s so satisfying, with various nuts inside, eating it doesn’t feel painful at all, rather quite enjoyable.

If eating this really helps lose weight, then let’s keep eating it.

Next to him, Chen Yuejin and Mrs. Shen weren’t initially interested, but hearing it’s from Fishing Platform, they each break off a piece to try, indeed it’s very chewy.

Chen Yuejin says:

"Xiao Jie often says he’s too busy to eat, I think this Lieba is pretty good, nibble some when hungry, feels better than instant noodles...I’ll ask Lin Xu after he’s done, see if he can spare a few for Xiao Jie."

Comrade old Chen is very satisfied with his son-in-law, always thinking of giving him good food and drink, sometimes even when shopping with Shen Guofang, he buys a bunch for his son-in-law.

Regardless of whether it’s necessary, just buy, buy, buy.

Many in the police team suspect Ren Jie is being pampered; he used to be quite frugal, now suddenly he’s got a new Jeep, and his clothes are upscale.

Luckily the team leaders understand what’s happening, or he would definitely face an economic investigation for his position as team leader.

Lin Xu comes out from the kitchen to greet them, and Chen Yuejin quickly shares his idea.

"Let my brother-in-law take them all later, anyway, I’ll make them myself tomorrow, and I’ll make various flavors, you and aunt can try them too."

Chen Yuejin laughs and pats Lin Xu on the shoulder:

"Good, we’ll come over again tomorrow."

Very soon, the dumplings are wrapped, Ji Minghui goes to the kitchen, boils a big pot of water, ready to cook the dumplings.

Wei Qian and Zhu Yong prepare some side dishes to eat with the dumplings.

The side dishes for dumplings are usually cold dishes, with a sour and spicy or sweet and sour flavor, mainly to whet the appetite.

Like Ginger Lotus Root, Cold Dressed Mushroom Slices, Onion and Fungus, Cold Spinach, and so on.

Shen Guofu rubs his hands, smiles at Chen Yuejin and says:

"Dumplings with wine, the more you drink, the more you have—later, brother-in-law, we should drink more, starting tomorrow I’ll stop drinking."

Chen Yuejin chuckles and asks:

"Going sober? Shouldn’t there be a sobriety ceremony?"

"Let’s forget it, being too ostentatious won’t do any good, and it’ll block my retreat, better keep it simple."

Shen Guofu knows the next two days he’ll definitely start eating a weight-loss meal, to prevent not being allowed to drink today, he mentions going sober starting tomorrow.

As for whether he can really succeed in quitting or not, we won’t discuss that for now, just starting with a drink today.

Just as they speak, Shen Jiayue returns with Dundun, and Chen Yan and the others come over after work.

Zeng Xiaoqi, Dou Wenjing, and Chen Yuanyuan clocked off early just for this dumpling meal, Qi Siming hands Lin Xu a sack of steamed Yellow Steamed Bun:

"Lin boss, try the Yellow Steamed Bun I made, you can eat them by reheating in the morning, also please consider more stuffing flavors for me, I plan to play around a bit."

Lin Xu accepts it and says:

"No problem, later let the elders at home taste it, the rest can be for breakfast tomorrow."

The dumplings in the kitchen boil quickly and are served plate by plate, everyone is munching in pairs or trios.

For everyone to savor well, Ji Minghui in the kitchen specially made garlic paste dipping sauce, red oil dipping sauce, and vinegar dipping sauce for free combining.

Even filling their bowls with hot chicken soup to make chicken soup dumplings is possible.

Whatever you feel like eating, match it as you wish.

Once everyone starts eating, Lin Xu carries a bowl of dumplings, sits next to Shen Jiayue, takes a dumpling and bites into it, hmm, tasty.

The dumpling skin is chewy, the filling is fresh and aromatic.

Chewing it brings a kind of pork fat richness.

In this warming spring season, enjoying such a bowl of egg and chive stuffed dumplings makes one feel completely satisfied.

"Xu Bao, any plans for tomorrow? I’d like to learn making Lieba from you."

Tomorrow?

Lin Xu smiles and tells her:

"Sure, coincidently there’s a surprise for you tomorrow."

Shen Jiayue: "!!!!!!!!!!"

Another surprise?

Haha, every day with Xu Bao is so blissful.

She dips the dumpling in chili oil and asks quietly after popping it into her mouth:

"What’s the surprise?"

Lin Xu smiles:

"What do you think?"

"Ennnnnnn....I think it’s something delicious, did I guess right?"

Wow, finally some tacit understanding!

Lin Xu nods:

"You guessed right, specifically what it is, I’ll uncover the mystery for you tomorrow!"
