Chapter 355: Chapter 330: The First Lu Cuisine Dish: 9-Turn Large Intestine (Part 2)

However, not everyone liked this dish. Some people even avoided it like the plague.

Because its main ingredient was pork large intestine.

Many people would absolutely refuse to eat pork large intestine. Even just the thought of it was enough to make some feel nauseous.

That was what made the dish Nine-Turned Pork Intestines so special.

Some people avoided it like the plague, while others considered it one of their absolute favorites.

Guyi belonged to the latter group.

Guyi had once said he hoped to one day eat Nine-Turned Pork Intestines at Li You’s place.

He had boundless expectations for the Nine-Turned Pork Intestines here!

And Li You had said he would release it if he got the chance.

Now, the recipe for Nine-Turned Pork Intestines had arrived.

So, he was both surprised and delighted.

Li You had long heard of this dish. But he had never eaten it, never studied it, and certainly didn’t know how to make it.

He only knew that the dish used pork large intestine as its main ingredient, supplemented with aromatics like scallions, ginger, and minced garlic, and was prepared using techniques like boiling and braising.

The finished dish had a reddish, glossy color, and the intestines were soft and tender. It combined five flavors: spicy, sour, sweet, fragrant, and savory.

It was soft, tender, and refreshing in the mouth, its complex flavors lingering in a remarkable way.

Li You was actually very interested in a dish like this. He just hadn’t gotten around to studying it yet.

But now, he didn’t need to. Because as long as he learned the Nine-Turned Pork Intestines recipe, he would master the most perfect way to prepare it.

He began learning immediately.

Soon, all sorts of knowledge about Nine-Turned Pork Intestines rapidly flooded into Li You’s mind.

After he finished learning, Li You was already capable of making the most perfect, most delicious Nine-Turned Pork Intestines.

The next time Guyi visited, he would be able to eat Nine-Turned Pork Intestines.

’What will his verdict be?’

Li You was quite looking forward to it!

Of course, Li You would also roll out Nine-Turned Pork Intestines as soon as possible.

This would be the first Lu Cuisine dish introduced at the restaurant.

’But there’s no need to rush. I’ll go to the town market tomorrow and see if I can find some medium-quality pork large intestine. I’ll make a portion for myself to try first, and then decide.’

It just so happened to be market day tomorrow.

Li You was in a great mood. Afterward, he went to the arcade machine area outside the restaurant.

’It’s still early, so I might as well watch the customers play for a bit.’

”Boss, come quick! There’s one spot left, we were waiting for you.” Three customers playing ”Cadillacs and Dinosaurs” saw Li You and enthusiastically invited him to join them.

”Cadillacs and Dinosaurs” could link two arcade machines, allowing four people to play together.

Right now, only three of them were playing, so there was one spot open.

Li You saw that the three of them were already on the fifth level, not far from beating the game. It wouldn’t interfere with his work later.

So he smiled and said, ”Alright. I’ll play a round then.”

He then walked over to the empty spot, sat down, and selected his character.

The only one he could choose was Jack.

Around here, this character was also known as ”White Shirt,” and he was the protagonist of the game’s backstory.

But even though he was the protagonist, he seemed to be the character players liked to pick the least.

Li You had no other choice now, so he had to pick him.

Soon, Li You joined the battle.

When Li Zhong and Li Chi saw Li You sit down to play games with the customers, they both smiled.

’Xiaoyou really does have a great relationship with the customers.’

By the time Li You and the customers beat the game, it was five in the afternoon.

Just as he thought, it didn’t interfere with his work.

Now, it was time for him to get to work. Customers would be ordering dinner soon, so he needed to do some simple prep.

So, Li You told the three customers to keep playing while he ducked out.

The customers all knew Li You had to get busy, so none of them asked him to play longer.

Li You walked into the kitchen, and just as he finished his prep work, customers started placing their orders.

He started cooking.

Once he started, he barely had a moment to stop.

However, Li You still managed to use a spare moment to cook dinner for himself, Li Zhong, and Li Chi.

He brought the food to the table and invited Li Zhong and Li Chi to eat.

Li You ate as well.

After they slowly finished their meal, Li Zhong and Li Chi said their goodbyes and left.

After Ling Xiaoru arrived, she ordered five catties of spicy crayfish and a bowl of tomato and egg soup.

Then she went upstairs by herself to eat while watching TV.

These past few days, Li You had been eating with Li Zhong and Li Chi, so she had been eating alone.

At nine o’clock that night, after Li You closed up shop and went upstairs, Ling Xiaoru was still eating.

Eating slowly while watching TV was quite a pleasant way to spend the evening.

”Boss, did you close up?” Ling Xiaoru asked when she saw Li You.

Li You nodded and sat down next to Ling Xiaoru.

He decided to watch some TV as well.

Ling Xiaoru was watching ”Detective Conan.”

Just like Li You, she was also a big fan of ”Detective Conan.”

After watching for a moment, Li You recognized the case. ”This is the ’Kogoro’s Class Reunion Murder Case,’ isn’t it? It’s a really early episode.”

Ling Xiaoru nodded. ”I’m rewatching it. I like this case. It’s one of the old man’s finest moments.”

Li You said, ”I’ve actually always believed the old man’s deduction skills are incredible, maybe even on par with Shinichi’s. He just pretends to be a fool most of the time. Plus, he probably figured out Conan’s real identity a long time ago.”

Ling Xiaoru nodded and said, ”I actually think so too. At the very least, the old man can’t really be that much of a bungling detective.”

Li You laughed. ”Great minds think alike, I guess. By the way, do you like eating pork large intestine?”

”Pork large intestine?” Ling Xiaoru shook her head. ”Nope. Why, Boss? Are you planning to make some?”
