Chapter 1042 - 430: The Joy of Eating Meat Is Something No Vegetarian Dish Can Provide! Making Braised Pork Ribs [Subscription Request]
"Do you know how delightful it is to eat lamb flatbread in the morning after heavy snow?"
When the early risers of the weight loss group saw Shen Jiayue’s post on social media, the photo of the crispy flatbread with barely visible lamb filling made them instantly crave it.
The ladies who initially planned to sleep in over the weekend got up unusually early to head to the shop.
Although Lin Ji’s Food doesn’t serve lamb flatbread for breakfast, at least there is food to eat, which is much better than lying in bed salivating.
Shen Guofu, who woke up and practiced Eight-section Brocade for half an hour in the snowy courtyard, originally planned to have a weight loss meal with Han Shuzhen. But upon seeing the photos on social media, he subtly suggested,
"Wife, let’s go visit our daughter’s place this morning. With all this snow, who knows if the kids remembered to close the roof door properly? If snow fills the house, we can help clean it up."
Han Shuzhen thought about it and realized they should go check.
Their daughter and son-in-law are still just kids; they might not be thorough in considering problems. It’s good to check, and they can see how their heating system is working.
If the house is chilly, Dundun might catch a cold.
Unlike dogs that can run in the Arctic Circle, cats are weaker against the cold, especially their respiratory systems. They can easily get respiratory diseases like nasal inflammation, which would require nebulization treatment—super troublesome.
Thinking of this, Han Shuzhen specifically packed two of Shen Jiayue’s down jackets, brought the little outfit for Dundun, instructed Aunt Liu, and then drove off with Shen Guofu.
When the couple arrived, Lin Xu was just fretting over the leftover flatbread and lamb filling.
"The lamb is really filling, we overestimated our appetite...I’ll take the leftovers to the shop and serve them to whoever wants it...Hmm? Why is the doorbell ringing?"
Shen Jiayue shuffled over in slippers to check and then shouted to Lin Xu,
"Don’t worry about it, Xu Bao, Dad and Mom are here. They’ve definitely come to mooch off my social media post, so keep making the lamb flatbread."
Father-in-law and mother-in-law are here?
That’s just perfect, saves me from bringing it back and forth.
Lin Xu directly preheated the electric griddle and continued making lamb flatbread, while also heating the leftover Eight Treasure Porridge in a pot.
Before long, Shen Guofu and Han Shuzhen arrived upstairs.
"Daughter, did you remember to close the roof door during last night’s heavy snow?"
"Yes, I didn’t forget. This morning Dundun and I went around the terrace, thick snow is piled up, and we’re planning to build a snowman later."
Upon hearing this, Han Shuzhen finally relaxed.
At this point, Shen Guofu’s thoughts had wandered entirely into the kitchen.
Lin Xu walked out from inside and said,
"Dad, Mom, you haven’t had breakfast yet, have you? You’re just in time, wash your hands and join us."
Shen Guofu eagerly agreed,
"Yes, we’re coming right away."
Haha, finally able to eat the delicious-looking lamb flatbread. The internet wasn’t wrong; once men are past twenty, they must learn to be cunning to treat themselves well.
Han Shuzhen glanced at old Shen,
"You’re so eager to come over, are you just saving up energy to eat delicious food?"
"No, no, no, how could I know Xu was making lamb flatbread this morning."
"Lamb flatbread? When did Xu mention those words earlier?"
Shen Guofu: ??????
Can’t get complacent indeed.
He chuckled awkwardly,
"The girl was posting poison early this morning; I’m here to teach her a lesson... Wife, hurry and wash your hands, let’s try it together. Also, how about staying here tonight? We’ve lived in the villa so long we’ve forgotten what it’s like to live in an apartment."
Han Shuzhen glanced at him,
"Are you feeling troubled or something? But staying one night is fine, Little Yan says Yueyue plays games all night; I need to keep an eye on her."
This time it was Shen Jiayue’s turn to be surprised.
That naughty Yan Bao even told this, no wonder Dundun bullied you yesterday.
Quite the lively bunch!
But it’s fine if Dad and Mom stay over—there are two secondary master bedrooms upstairs, perfect for each set of parents to take one, perfectly balanced.
Soon, the Eight Treasure Porridge was warmed up, and the lamb flatbread was ready.
Lin Xu served the dishes, sliced the flatbread, and placed the small pickles and side dishes on the table. The second breakfast of the day began.
Shen Guofu took a bite of the oil-enriched, crispy lamb flatbread, his face immediately breaking into an uncontrollable smile,
"Oh wow, this lamb flatbread is so delicious—the flatbread is thin and crispy, and the meat filling is tender and juicy. It’s even more satisfying than eating it during our trip to Bianliang."
Han Shuzhen nodded in agreement,
"It truly is delicious; the flatbreads are crispy on both sides, and the lamb isn’t gamey or smelly—it’s a real treat."
Since Lin Xu had already eaten, he sat on the sofa with Dundun watching Yanjing TV Station’s morning news.
Meanwhile, Shen Jiayue was curled up beside him with her phone, catching up on game-related terms on the short video platform.
She progressed quickly, mastering old games like Contra, and even played Call of Duty and Battlefield quite impressively.
The news warned of the recent temperature drop, with many elderly citizens catching respiratory diseases, reminding everyone to stay warm and eat foods that protect the lungs and prevent coughs.
Distracted by the games, Shen Jiayue mumbled upon hearing this,
"Lung-protecting and cough-preventing? Xu Bao, can you make some lung-protecting foods for Grandma and Grandma? Make more, Grandma and Grandma in Yinzhou need some too."
