Free Web NovelChapter 1140: Chapter 462: Before the Wedding Photos: Excited and Thrilled! After the Wedding Photos: Can It End Soon? [Monthly Ticket Request]
After interacting with the netizens for a while, she saw that it was already 9 PM and bid everyone goodbye:
"The meatballs are done, and the shop is about to close soon. Let’s end today’s live stream here. You can leave a message about the food you most want to eat in the Lin Ji’s Food topic, and I’ll continue teaching you how to make it."
After the live stream ended, the staff from Joyful Media started packing up the live streaming equipment.
He stepped out of the small kitchen and asked the relatives and friends outside:
"How’s the taste? Is it alright?"
Shen Jiayue rubbed her belly and said:
"It’s super tasty, but if I get fat, you have to take responsibility."
"Alright, I’ll take full responsibility."
Shen Guofu also couldn’t stop praising, thinking that these meatballs were really delicious and truly reached the level of "melting in your mouth, no tendons, no residue."
After eating them, he didn’t feel greasy at all and even thought about having another one.
Chen Yuanyuan, who just got off work not long ago, was eating the meatballs with a spoon and commented:
"Little brother, your skills are amazing. But these meatballs taste a bit like the poor man’s version from our hometown, you should make them sometime."
Poor man’s meatballs?
The group savoring the meatballs were a bit curious.
Yinzhou has such a delicacy?
"Xu Bao, what are poor man’s meatballs?"
Lin Xu smiled and said:
"They’re large meatballs made by frying glass noodles, bigger than these real meatballs. They’re crispy on the outside and soft inside like these meatballs, quite enjoyable to eat."
In fact, these glass noodles meatballs, like skin residue, were a kind of delicacy people enjoyed when goods were not plentiful in the past.
Lin Xu remembered that when funerals were held in the countryside during his childhood, the last dish at the banquet was the glass noodles meatballs, and once they were eaten, the banquet would end.
So these glass noodles meatballs are also called ’get out’ meatballs.
However, in recent years, banquets with fried glass noodles meatballs are rare because, despite their low cost, they truly test the chef’s kung fu.
Make soft cooked glass noodles into meatballs larger than a fist; if the oil temperature is too high, they won’t cook through, and too low, they’ll fall apart.
Experienced chefs can easily fry a bowl of noodles fragments, and with young people not quite liking them, the ’get out’ meatballs have been replaced by finished sesame balls.
Sesame balls look good, and when made by chefs, they just need a little frying in the oil pot, saving time and effort.
Chen Yan pursed her lips:
"I wasn’t hungry at first, but hearing my brother-in-law talk like this, suddenly I’m craving again. Make some next time, so we can taste what poor man’s meatballs actually taste like."
After speaking, she asked Wei Qian:
"Is there anything else to eat in the kitchen?"
"There’s some smoked fish, but basically everything else has been sold out."
Upon hearing there was smoked fish, Chen Yan said bluntly:
"Pack them all for me, I’ll take them home to eat slowly, won’t delay your closing time."
Zeng Xiaoqi protested:
"That’s not okay, share half with me!"
Dou Wenjing chuckled:
"Talking like that to the boss, be careful she gives you grief."
"Grief is fine, work can endure hardship, but you can’t miss out on good food..."
In the end, it was Chen Yuanyuan who suggested going together to eat at the apartment in the nearby neighborhood, turning these capitalists and workers who didn’t budge into good sisters again.
Lin Xu held onto Dundun, driving home to rest with Shen Jiayue.
They needed to rest early as they would be taking wedding photos tomorrow, to avoid having dark circles showing up in the pictures.
Morning.
After a simple breakfast of fried egg, milk, and toast, the couple set off, driving together with Dundun to the agreed high-end wedding photography studio.
The owner of the studio was Lin Xu’s fan, named Cai Sen, with the internet name of Cai Sanmu.
He was in his early thirties and had an artistic flair, a standard mohawk hairstyle, shaved clean on both sides, and dyed a light green, fluttering in the winter cold wind.
Since it was early that day, his ears were frozen red.
"Morning, Boss Lin. Originally planned to shoot some wedding landscape photos while the morning light wasn’t strong, but since it’s so cold... let’s shoot the Chinese style first, Chinese costumes can be thicker."
"Sounds good, I’ll follow your lead. You’ve got Dundun’s clothes too, right?"
Upon hearing this, Cai Sen promptly said:
"Yes, yes, we’ve got royal style, Republic charm, martial arts, scholar white fox, Great Song scholar... all styles of clothing arranged for Dundun. We may mess around when taking pictures for others, but for our own Lin Ji’s matters, we absolutely put our heart into it."
Listening to the names of these Chinese photography styles, Lin Xu was curious.
Is this for wedding photos, or for a role-playing game?
Why are there so many sets?
While he was murmuring, they began changing clothes.
Two female assistants took Shen Jiayue to the women’s changing room to start changing into the Crown Princess Consort outfit, while Lin Xu changed into the Crown Prince outfit.
Originally, they were going to shoot in emperor costumes, but last time Han Shuzhen saw it and thought it looked too old-fashioned, like Zhou Runfa and Gong Li in ’Curse of the Golden Flower’.
So they directly switched to more lively Crown Prince and Crown Princess Consort outfits.
Lin Xu didn’t have any objections; when getting married, you always go through such troubles once.
Wearing the golden Crown Prince outfit, he headed to the makeup room under the makeup artist’s guidance to start getting makeup done and had a wig put on, so those unaware might think Lin Xu had joined some historical drama crew.
"Wow, Boss Lin, it’s really a pity you’re not an actor. Once you wear this outfit, the nobility instantly appears; impressive, impressive, I’ll take a few more shots later."
With the wig completed, while the makeup artist was adjusting the Crown Prince cap, Cai Sen came in, and upon seeing Lin Xu’s attire, couldn’t help but praise.
