Transmigrating To The Ancient Times With Lu's Convenience

Chapter 99

Chapter 99: My Second Brother Is Amazing

To welcome Zhang Rui, Lu Lin asked Yun Niang to cook Braised Dongpo Pork for him.

Braised Dongpo Pork was an iconic traditional Chinese braised pork belly recipe of Hangzhou, created by Su Dong Po, a famous scholar in history. It was made with pork belly. Half fat, half lean meat and was stewed with yellow rice wine. The taste would leave everyone's mouth watering copiously for more.

Chen Chun'er doted on her son, she was secretly worried what if her son couldn't eat well in the store. Lu Lin felt that he needed to set Chun'er's mind at rest.

Zhang Rui's father was a butcher, so they were able to eat meat all the time, unlike other villagers who tended to only cook meat at festivals. However, the taste of Braised Dongpo Pork had won Zhang Rui's heart. Zhang Rui had never eaten such delicious dish before, so he ate three bowls of rice in one go.

Chen Xiao Mai was very curious about this cousin he met for the first time. He was amazed that Cousin Rui could eat three bowls of rice in one meal, he couldn't help but clap his hands for Cousin Rui.

"Cousin, you're awesome. Tell you a little secret, Lin Gege over there is a picky eater, he only eats lean meat, he won't touch any fat meat," Chen Xiao Mai glanced at Lu Lin and made a face.

Lu Lin curled his lips and thought to himself, 'The little brat Mai is calling me a picky eater, come on, I'd like to call myself a foodie, I only eat food that I love."

Seeing Chen Xiao Mai clapping his hands for him, Zhang Rui couldn't help but blush a little.

Zhang Rui scratched his head awkwardly. If someone else said this to him, he would most likely suspect that the other person was being sarcastic, but this was said by innocent Mai. Zhang Rui knew that Mai really meant that he wished he could eat as much, he didn't have any bad intentions when he said that.

Lu Lin served Zhang Rui a large piece of meat and smiled. "A good appetite is a blessing, I'm happy you are enjoying the food, Rui."

Zhang Rui said awkwardly, "Lin Ge, I never knew that you could cook meat like this, it's so delicious."

Lu Lin smiled and thought to himself, 'This is just Braised Dongpo Pork, I think people would go crazy if I play the documentary A Bite of China for them.'

"Eat, Rui. Don't worry, the food here is enough."

When Chen Chun'er was here, she specifically said that Zhang Rui had a big appetite, so Lu Lin felt he had to make sure that Zhang Rui could have a full belly.

Zhang Rui nodded his head, feeling so grateful. When Zhang Rui and his friends went to a neighboring town to do business, all of them talked about him behind his back that he ate too much.

Zhang Rui thought to himself, 'The people here are so nice, I really need to work hard. If every meal is as delicious as this one, I don't mind working for free.'

Although Zhang Rui had tried his best to restrain himself, he still didn't resist the temptation to mix the rice with the gravy. In the end, he meant to lick his bowl, but Lu Lin stopped him by saying they would have even better food for dinner.

Zhang Rui was so excited to hear that, he once again told himself that he would work hard and not let down his parents and cousins.

......

Kids all idolized bigger kids, so Chen Xiao Mai kept following his Cousin Rui around like a shadow, he had even shared his snacks with his Cousin Rui.

Zhang Rui adored this younger cousin, they got along so well.
