Chapter 501 Zeng Xiaoqi: Oops, I’m Trapped! Food to Supplement Collagen? 【Please Subscribe】
"Yueyue knows how to join forces!"
Chen Yan made a secret comment in her circle of friends, then put away her phone and watched Zeng Xiaoqi and Geng Lishan take pictures of the food tasting.
I don't know if it was because of Qi Zhentao's presence today. Zeng Xiaoqi was dressed very plainly. Chen Yan felt that this was to leave a good impression on her future father-in-law.
Hey, scheming.
People with small breasts are scheming, while people with big breasts are thick-skinned.
At 34D, I am as simple as snow, and Ren Jie has really found a treasure.
Chen Yan thought happily, and couldn't help but look at Shen Jiayue's hairy elbow. She felt that instead of waiting here for that greedy bite of tiger skin elbow, she might as well go to the restaurant to eat in advance.
It just so happens that it can leave everyone with a high-spirited and honest impression and not compete with employees for food.
As for the tiger skin elbow, I can just ask my brother-in-law to make it someday.
Anyway, Yueyue gets greedy when she is fooled. When the video is broadcast, this girl will definitely clamor her brother-in-law to cook it for her. Then we just need to be shameless and eat together, and we will get what we want.
And compared to the two bites, it would be more enjoyable to eat half an elbow directly.
Thinking of this, she whispered to Xiao Wei:
"You guys go ahead, I'm going to the store for lunch first."
The little one was stunned:
"Mr. Chen, you've been waiting all morning, why don't you leave before you try?"
"No, let's eat with you guys first."
As expected, Xiao Wei looked moved:
"Thank you, Mr. Chen. No wonder everyone likes to come to our Happy Media. You are so charming."
Chen Yan listened happily to this flattery and said with a smile:
"I'm not as good as you said, and I've lost weight recently, so I can't eat anything too greasy."
After saying that, she quietly opened the door and walked out, went to her office to get her bag and car keys, and then drove to Linji Food.
As soon as he parked the car, Shen Guofu drove his Bentley to the side.
"Uncle? Are you coming for lunch too?"
Shen Guofu didn't expect to meet Chen Yan, so he laughed dryly:
"I heard that Mr. Yan is leaving today, so I came here to see him off. Didn't you guys pat tiger skin elbows this morning? Have you finished filming?"
Chen Yan never blinks when she lies:
"No, I saw that the employees were all waiting to eat, so I didn't feel embarrassed to compete with everyone. It happened to be time for lunch, so I came directly to the store."
The uncle and nephew walked into Lin Ji's door.
As soon as I arrived upstairs, I smelled the unique aroma of elbow.
Thirty elbows were made today, and the employees were all eating them. The jelly-like meat made Shen Guofu swallow his saliva subconsciously.
"Hey, have you made the red braised elbow?"
Shen Guofu pretended to sigh. In fact, he went downstairs from the company and drove here at around ten o'clock. When he was waiting at the traffic light, he saw the status of his daughter's hair and was almost starved for it.
But now, in front of his niece, he naturally wouldn't say that. Instead, he pretended not to know about it and sighed in surprise.
Chen Yan was also "surprised":
"I thought I could finish it in the afternoon. My brother-in-law's skills are really good and quick..."
Arriving at the dining table where Lin Xu and the others were eating, Shen Jiayue raised her head and asked happily when she saw the two of them:
"Did you see the message I sent? Hurry up, this elbow is super delicious, especially the skin. It is simply unimaginable deliciousness."
Chen Yan coughed dryly, sat down next to Shu Yun, took the chopsticks from Dou Wenjing, and then picked up the elbow on the table and took a bite.
"Wow, it's really delicious. It melts with just a sip of your tongue. This elbow is so delicious!"
Mr. Chen, who had been reserved just now, now acted as if he hadn't eaten in three days. After taking a bite of the elbow, he brought the plate directly in front of him and ate several pieces in succession.
And Shen Guofu did the same. He picked up a large piece and put it into his mouth, including the skin and flesh, with a happy expression on his face.
For him, his biggest wish in this life is to eat meat without any worries. Now, the happiness of fulfilling this wish is lingering in his heart.
Lin Xu handed over two bowls of rice:
“You’ll get tired of eating meat alone, so it’s better to eat it with rice.”
Shen Guofu took it and said with a smile:
"Xiao Xu, you are really good at making this dish. I have never tasted such delicious elbow! It's so enjoyable. Can you make more this afternoon? Let your mother-in-law come and try it."
As soon as Lin Xuda said there was no problem, Shen Jiayue said:
"Then Mom will know that you secretly came to the store to eat elbows. When she punishes you, we can only laugh at it, but we don't dare to start a fight."
These words made Lao Shen's heart thump.
Yes, I promised my wife in the morning to eat a fat-reducing meal at the company at noon, and to come to the store to eat elbow joints together in the evening. If I sneaked back to eat without telling her...
Think about the time when I was eating braised pork because I cheated on my wife and was tortured by her so much that I almost died from exhaustion on the dance machine.
Shen Guofu opened his mouth, looked at his daughter and asked:
"Daughter, what do you think I should do?"
"Why don't you just bring a piece to mom when you leave later? Just say you're here to get something and have lunch on the way. Anyway, as long as my mom can eat enough, she won't care too much about you. "
When Lao Shen heard this, he thought this was a good idea.
Just as he was about to continue eating, Shen Jiayue came over:
"Dad, I gave you such an idea, how can you thank me?"
Chen Yan opened her mouth. Her cousin was really awesome. She actually knocked on her father's bamboo pole. If this were at home... Hey, I can do it too. I'll think of a way to get my father to buy Xiao Jiejie an SUV. It won't be too expensive. , Wrangler will do.
According to Lao Chen's financial resources, this should be a blessing.
In fact, it's not that Chen Yan can't afford it, but this kind of free prostitution feels so good, and it feels very enjoyable just thinking about it.
Shen Guofu took a bite of rice from his elbow meat and said to Shen Jiayue:
"Xiao Xu will be settling down in the next two days, so I'll give you two watches. Do you want a Vacheron Constantin or a Patek Philippe?"
Lin Xu said:
"Forget it, I can't wear a watch. If I buy one, I can only keep it at home."
Shen Guofu smiled:
"If you collect them, collect them. Many watches can increase in value. Maybe you can make a lot of money in the future."
If you want to buy a watch, it would definitely be more appropriate to take Dundun with you. The little guy will definitely be able to find a watch that will appreciate in value the most in the future, but Lin Xu thinks it’s better to forget it.
It's not necessary, and I haven't been a person who likes to wear gold and silver since I was a child.
Just as he was about to speak, Shen Jiayue said:
"I want a Vacheron Constantin women's watch, the one with a rectangular dial. For Xubao, I want Vacheron Constantin's latest model."
Lin Xu was a little curious. My father-in-law was just getting high on his elbows. Why were he in such a hurry to buy a watch?
Although luxury watches may not seem as impressive as cars, their prices are quite a bit higher. Many basic models of these luxury watches start at a million dollars, not to mention those limited edition commemorative models, which basically require a price increase to buy.
I don’t understand what these rich people are after.
Yan Lin, who had been silent all this time, smiled:
"Buying luxury goods can effectively reduce company business taxes, which is a means of legal tax avoidance."
Legal tax avoidance?
Although Lin Xu comes from a financial background, he doesn’t know much about these things:
"Isn't tax avoidance illegal? What about legal tax avoidance?"
Yan Lin said:
"Yes, many bosses stay at home all year round, but they still buy private jets. They don't stay in five-star hotels a few times a year, but they stay in presidential suites all year round. These items that increase expenditures are all about reducing taxes and fees, and the government actually encourages them. Do this because it increases the flow of funds.”
As the boss, Chen Yan knows these things quite well:
"Many companies have obviously made a lot of money, but they have invested the funds in a project that is obviously losing money. This is also tax avoidance. This kind of tax avoidance is not illegal. If they issue false invoices or something, it is illegal. Basically, those celebrities The subsidiaries issue performance invoices to each other to achieve the purpose of tax evasion."
Lin Xu felt that he was a failed boss because he didn't understand the twists and turns involved. Dou Wenjing was usually responsible for the company's affairs and never mentioned this at all.
But think about it, the most important thing in finance is circulation, so the government allows tax avoidance through purchasing luxury goods and investing in emerging industries.
And whether you buy something or make an investment, you have already paid taxes.
After thinking about this, he no longer resisted buying a watch, but said:
"When buying a watch, let Dundun help me choose it. I'll take it to those luxury stores to see the world...are pets allowed in places like that?"
"Allow it. I'll ask Xiao Zou to take you to choose later. Choose whichever one you like."
No one was surprised that Lin Xu let Dundun choose, because Lin Xu's family loved Dundun very much and always regarded him as family.
Now everyone thinks it is reasonable for Dundun to choose a watch.
Shen Guofu ate almost a whole elbow, plus a large bowl of rice and some garlic cabbage to go with it, and he felt full.
After eating and drinking, he went downstairs carrying a portion of elbow, a portion of hand-shredded cabbage, and two portions of rice that Lin Xu had packed, intending to deliver meals to the People's Hospital.
After Yan Lin finished eating, she drank a small bowl of loofah soup made by the kitchen, and said to Cui Qingyuan next to her:
"I will go back soon and come back when Xiao Lin gets married. In the next two years, I will try my best to hand over the company to professional managers and stay with you in the capital from now on."
These words made Cui Qingyuan deeply moved:
"You don't have to change anything for me, just be yourself... But you have to go home with me during the Spring Festival this year. When I was a child, I told my grandma that I would definitely marry you home when I grow up. My grandma is still waiting for you to serve tea. .”
The two received the certificate, but did not hold a wedding and had no plans to do so in the future.
For people like them, secular weddings no longer matter, and the lively meal they had with Lao Huang and others last time was basically the same as a wedding.
Geng Lele rolled her eyes:
"You two don't want children?"
Yan Lin smiled and pinched her baby-fat cheeks:
"Let this happen as it happens. Besides, we already have a daughter like you, and it's not like we don't have children... Listen to your godfather's words in the capital, study hard, and your godmother will give you a big red envelope during the New Year."
Geng Lele is usually not short of money and is not very interested in red envelopes.
No matter how big the red envelope was, it didn't slow down her learning progress.
After sitting for a while, Yan Lin and Xiao Qing carried big bags of various snacks, said goodbye to everyone, got into the Alpha business car sent by the branch, and went straight to the airport.
There, a small business jet bound for Shanghai was ready to fly.
After Chen Yan had eaten and drank enough, she packed two more snacks and braised meat, and drove back to the company. As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, she saw Zeng Xiaoqi and Qi Siming whispering something in the corner.
The fire of gossip in her heart immediately burned brightly.
Wow haha, I got caught in the act again, little Qiqi, oh little Qiqi, how you dealt with me back then, I will deal with you now.
Just as she was thinking about it, Zeng Xiaoqi discovered the sneaky Mr. Chen, and then said openly:
"Baby Yan, Siming said there is a restaurant with delicious belly pops. Do you want to go eat together?"
"No, no, I'm afraid that my forehead will be too bright, which will delay your eating and drinking... Besides, we are waiting to eat elbows in the evening. It will burst your stomach or something, so you young people should eat it. My stomach and intestines can't stand it."
After saying that, she quickly went to her office.
Zeng Xiaoqi said with a smile:
"When dealing with Mr. Chen, you have to take the initiative so that you can take the initiative... The fried noodles you made for lunch are good and delicious."
Qi Siming asked:
"You didn't enjoy the pork elbows at lunch today, did you? I saw that you only took a few bites and stopped eating. How about I make it for you again?"
Zeng Xiaoqi shook her head:
"I'll make it when I want to eat it one day. Those few pieces during the trial helped me get over my craving for meat."
While the two were chatting, a courier came out of the elevator carrying a large cardboard box and shouted:
"Zeng Xiaoqi, your express delivery!"
Has this helmet arrived?
Zeng Xiaoqi originally wanted to receive the men's version separately for Qi Siming, but she didn't expect the courier to deliver it now.
She walked over, took the pen and was about to sign for it when the courier muttered:
"This brand of helmets is not cheap. Each one costs several thousand. You spent a lot on this pair, right?"
helmet?
Hearing this word, Qi Siming, who had come to help move the box, was stunned. He looked at the carton with some surprise. It was indeed a helmet brand.
Director Zeng, what does this mean?
Want to ride a bike too?
Zeng Xiaoqi hated the courier so much. He kept talking so much when nothing was wrong, making him look like I was taking the initiative.
She signed her name quickly, and after the courier left, she said:
"I was a little embarrassed after accepting your scarf, so I thought about buying a helmet for you. Then I thought it looked really good, so I bought a pair..."
Qi Siming smiled and said:
"Then why don't you go eat some delicious food today? I might as well take you there on a motorcycle, just so you can experience the joy of speeding along on a motorcycle."
Zeng Xiaoqi couldn't help but feel excited when she thought about the feeling of riding a motorcycle so fast:
"Okay, let's go after get off work!"
After opening the carton, Qi Siming took out the helmet and saw that it was a couple's model, and he felt happy immediately.
The happiest thing in life is probably when the person I like also has a crush on me, right?
Seeing Qi Siming carefully unboxing and carefully wiping the helmet, Zeng Xiaoqi's heart skipped a beat.
Oops, this is a heart-pounding feeling!
However, what she didn't know was that her every frown and smile were almost imprinted on Qi Siming's heart. The rebellious young man in the past was now like a young man in love, and even the hand wiping his helmet trembled slightly.
In the evening, Lin Ji Food still ate pork elbows. In order to make everyone enjoy their meal, Lin Xu even made some tiger skin pork elbows.
This kind of elbow is actually easy to make. The whole elbow is first skinned and washed, then blanched and boiled thoroughly. Then it is coated with sugar and deep-fried. After frying, it is directly soaked in ice water.
Using the principle of cold and hot stimulation, the outer skin of the elbow forms a layer of folds like tiger stripes.
This is the origin of the name of the dish Tiger Skin Elbow.
Then, put the elbows in the stewed soup and simmer for two and a half hours, or stew for one and a half hours and then steam for one hour. Anyway, just make the elbows soft, glutinous and crispy.
"Haha, two kinds of elbows, so happy."
Shen Jiayue was eating her elbow happily. When she saw Chen Yan coming home from get off work alone, she asked curiously:
"Where's Sister Xiaoqi? Why didn't she come? You, a black-hearted capitalist, won't let others work overtime in the company, right?"
Chen Yan took off her down jacket and hung it on the hanger next to her:
"You can eat randomly, but you can't talk nonsense. Little Qiqi has a date today. She just wore a newly bought couple's helmet and sat on Qi Siming's motorcycle to eat up her belly."
Everyone who was eating their elbows was stunned.
Have the two of them developed to this point?
Chen Yan washed her hands and sat down, picked up a piece of tiger skin elbow and put it into her mouth, and then said:
"Little Qiqi originally bought the helmet just to thank Qi Siming for the silk scarf. Unexpectedly, she and Qi Siming were chatting at the elevator entrance when the courier came to deliver the helmets. They were a couple. Qi Siming was so happy that he recorded it all afternoon What a dish, I can’t help but giggle..."
Shu Yun was very curious:
"How do you know so clearly about the helmet delivery part? Are you standing next to me like a light bulb?"
"No, why am I so indifferent? I went directly to see the surveillance camera. Fortunately, I bought an audio version of the camera. Otherwise, I really wouldn't know the progress of their relationship."
Everyone:? ? ? ? ? ? ?
When a boss takes the lead in watching employee surveillance videos, is this a distortion of human nature or a loss of morality?
However, it was quite interesting to think about peeping on Director Zeng's love affair. It was a pity that he was not in the company at the time, otherwise he would have grabbed a handful of melon seeds and went to the monitoring room to watch the show together.
"Mom, please eat more. This elbow skin is rich in collagen, which is good for your skin."
After everyone listened to the gossip, they continued to eat. Shen Jiayue looked very enthusiastic because she was wearing a new watch.
Han Shuzhen took a bite of elbow and said speechlessly:
"It's true that I'm supplementing collagen, but I'm also supplementing fat. It's all fat. Looking back, you don't have any fat... Xiaoxu, are there any ingredients that are low in fat but rich in collagen?"
This question... Lin Xu thought about it and said:
"Pi jelly, skin tripe, broad tripe, bird's nest, shark's fin, fish maw, white fungus... these types of ingredients are rich in collagen. What do you want to eat? I'll make some when I'm not busy these two days."
I couldn’t guess what my mother-in-law wanted to eat, so I just made a list and cooked whatever I chose.
Just when he thought Han Shuzhen would choose bird's nest, the mother-in-law unexpectedly said:
"Guangdu is good, let's make some later. I remember many years ago, your father-in-law and I had spicy and sour Guangdu, as well as other dishes made with Guangdu. They were all delicious."
Guangdu?
Not only Lin Xu was surprised, Shen Guofu and Shen Jiayue also didn't expect Director Han to choose Guangdu.
But now that you’ve chosen it, let’s do it.
Lin Xu agreed:
"Then I will inform Lao Huang now, and I will cook the Guangdou whenever it is delivered. It just so happens that I haven't eaten Guangdou in a long time. Let's satisfy our craving together."
After saying that, he took out his mobile phone and called Lao Huang.
On the other side, Lao Suntou, who was addicted to fishing after spending a day in Uncle Shang's dark pit, was just about to pack up his fishing rods and go back when he saw several young people striding over carrying steel pipes with sinister looks on their faces.
Hey, is this the highlight?
