Chapter 173 Secretary Chen was dumbfounded
"President Su, Secretary Chen, please enjoy your meal!"
I'm going to the front to assist Brother Chen. Call me anytime if you need anything!
Wang Hai cheerfully gave his instructions, then turned and jogged back to his busy stall.
A brief silence fell over the folding table.
The aroma of meat filled the air, wafting straight into people's noses.
Secretary Chen lowered his head, his gaze falling on the lunchbox in front of Su Qingxue.
It has to be said that Wang Hai was really generous with those two spoonfuls of minced meat sauce.
The reddish-brown sauce completely soaked into the rice underneath, which was then topped with diced meat.
Moreover, because of Tangtang's "special instructions" earlier, Wang Hai specifically scooped out the dried goods from the very bottom of the large bucket.
The surface of Su Qingxue's lunchbox was covered with a lot of alternating layers of fat and lean meat.
Upon seeing these diced pieces of fatty meat, Secretary Chen's heart sank, and his palms instantly became sweaty.
"broken……"
Secretary Chen frowned slightly, reached into his bag, and grasped the bottle of mineral water, ready to unscrew it at any moment.
Wang Hai and Tangtang meant well, wanting to save the best cut of meat for Su Qingxue.
However, they had no idea about Su Qingxue's physical condition!
As his personal secretary, she knew better than anyone that President Su suffered from severe anorexia.
What she resists and rejects most is all food with "fat" and "greasiness"!
Secretary Chen glanced at Su Qingxue sitting opposite him, fearing that the boss would cover his mouth and gag at any moment.
"President Su..."
Secretary Chen asked tentatively, "This minced meat rice looks... a little too substantial."
Why don't you have that fried rice?
"Give this minced meat rice to me, so you don't feel nauseous."
Su Qingxue did not answer immediately.
She looked down at the meat sauce rice in front of her.
Indeed, if it were any other chef who had prepared fatty meat, even a Michelin-starred chef, she would probably have felt disgusted by now.
But, strangely enough...
She took a deep breath as she looked at the minced meat rice that Lin Chen had made.
There wasn't a trace of greasy or porky smell that would make you want to vomit.
"Need not."
Su Qingxue spoke, reaching out to pick up the clean plastic spoon.
"Pretty auntie! Try some!"
Sitting next to her, Tangtang rested her chin on her hands, her big eyes fixed on Su Qingxue with anticipation. "Uncle Fatty picked out all the biggest and softest pieces of meat for you!"
"Okay, Auntie will try it now."
Su Qingxue looked into the little girl's bright eyes, a gentle smile appearing in her own eyes.
She lowered her head, slightly turned her wrist, and gently scooped up a piece of meat with a good balance of fat and lean meat, along with the rice soaked in sauce, and brought it to her mouth.
Upon seeing this, Secretary Chen's heart leaped into his throat.
She watched Su Qingxue's reaction.
Su Qingxue opened her mouth and put a spoonful of rice and diced meat into it.
Close your mouth and chew gently.
Just as her teeth were closing, Su Qingxue's movements paused slightly.
It didn't have the disgusting feeling of exploding fat that I had imagined.
That small piece of fat melted incredibly the moment it touched my tongue!
It transformed into a fragrant aroma.
The lean meat underneath is tender and melts in your mouth, while the sweet and salty sauce blends perfectly with the rice.
There wasn't a single extraneous odor, only a clean and pure meaty aroma that sent shivers down your spine.
"Gulp."
Su Qingxue swallowed the food naturally.
Not only did I not feel nauseous, but I also felt a warm sense of satisfaction as it slid down my esophagus into my stomach.
Her stomach, which had been in a state of tension for a long time, suddenly developed an instinctive craving for food.
Under Secretary Chen's horrified gaze.
Su Qingxue didn't frown at all. Instead, she smoothly reached out her spoon again, scooped up a second, larger mouthful of rice and diced meat, and put it into her mouth.
One mouthful.
Two mouthfuls.
Three people.
Su Qingxue's spoon moved up and down much faster than usual.
She even picked up a bok choy and chewed it with the minced meat sauce; the crisp texture made a clear look of amazement flash in her eyes.
Secretary Chen sat opposite him, completely dumbfounded.
She stared, mouth agape, at the scene before her.
He ate it? Not only did he not vomit, but he was also actively eating large mouthfuls of fatty meat?!
Secretary Chen felt that all his common sense over the years had been completely overturned at this moment by Lin Chen's bowl of minced meat rice.
"Pretty auntie, is it delicious?"
Seeing that Su Qingxue had eaten several bites in a row, Tangtang happily swung her short legs and asked in her childish voice.
Upon hearing Tangtang's voice, Su Qingxue stopped eating with her spoon.
She took out a tissue, wiped her lips, and looked up at Tangtang.
"It's delicious."
Su Qingxue said, "This is the best bowl of rice Auntie has ever eaten."
Thank you, Tangtang, for saving the meat for Auntie. Auntie really likes it.
Tangtang grinned happily when she received the praise.
"Hehe! I knew the pretty auntie would like it!"
My dad's cooking is the best in the world!
The little girl proudly raised her head, then turned to look at Secretary Chen, who was still in a daze.
"Aunt Chen, why aren't you eating?"
"If we don't eat now, the big piece of meat will get cold!"
Tangtang blinked and reminded her.
"Oh? Yes! Eat! Auntie will try some!"
Secretary Chen then snapped out of his daze as if waking from a dream.
She glanced at the lunchbox in front of her, then at her boss's blissful expression, and her curiosity was completely piqued.
Secretary Chen picked up a spoon, scooped up a large mouthful of minced meat rice, and put it in his mouth.
I chewed it twice.
Secretary Chen suddenly quickened his chewing motion.
"Waaah..."
Secretary Chen mumbled something indistinctly, the spoon in his hand flashing out of control, "This meat is amazing!"
It melts in your mouth and isn't greasy at all!
No wonder President Su could eat it; the taste is amazing!
The atmosphere around the folding table became warm and harmonious.
Su Qingxue and Secretary Chen ate the steaming hot minced meat rice one bite after another, while Tangtang sat to the side, resting her chin on her little hand and chatting with them.
"Pretty auntie, are you tired from work today?"
Tangtang asked sensibly.
"I was a little tired, but seeing Tangtang eating such delicious food made me feel less tired."
Su Qingxue spoke up, and then helped Tangtang straighten her slightly crooked collar.
"Then Auntie will come every day from now on!"
I'll ask Uncle Fatty to pick out the biggest pieces of meat for you every day!
Tangtang generously made the promise.
"Okay, it's a deal."
Su Qingxue's eyes were full of smiles.
Secretary Chen was frantically shoveling rice into his mouth, occasionally glancing up to chime in with a few words.
At the control panel not far away.
Lin Chen continued to toss the wok and serve food at the stall.
"Brother Chen! All ten servings of minced meat rice are ready!"
Five more servings of fried rice are needed!
Wang Hai, holding a packing bag, shouted at Lin Chen.
"understood."
Lin Chen responded.
In the meantime between cooking a batch of fried rice, he packed it into a box.
Lin Chen raised his head slightly and his gaze fell on the folding table on the side of the greenhouse.
Seeing Su Qingxue talking to Tangtang and occasionally taking a bite of minced meat rice.
Lin Chen simply nodded slightly, then looked away.
He turned the high-powered stove back on, poured a portion of rice into the iron pot, and began to stir-fry it.
