Chapter 1482: Making Savory Porridge with Soy Sauce Duck! What’s It Like to Have a Social Cat at Home?

Qi Panpan feels that delicious food isn’t entirely a good thing, for example weight. Since Spring Festival, she has already gained five to six pounds.

At Qiang’s house, it’s all about eating all day long. She thought that coming to Beijing would help her slim down, but she underestimated the magic of Lin Ji’s Food.

No matter if it’s the lunch box at noon or the dinner at the restaurant, it’s all super delicious.

In such a situation, not to mention losing weight, just maintaining her weight without gaining more would be like burning high incense.

She really wants to control it, but the taste is too good plus the many things during the early stage of the startup made this manager, who originally liked leading the trouble-making, extremely busy, having to rely on food to relieve stress.

Fortunately, they have already secured orders, giving the employees work to do.

The entire tech department resigned collectively making the former company boss finally started to take the matter seriously, but only a bit, thinking it’s just some technical maintenance, digging some people from other companies would solve it.

The resignation of the tech department is also good, just right to replace with a new batch of newcomers.

At first, this vibe was always there until the system started having continuous bugs, the more they tried to maintain, the more problems emerged.

Qi Panpan sipped some salty chicken porridge and said to Chen Yan:

“When the technology over there completely can’t keep up, I’ll talk about the outsourcing business. The employees are familiar, so they can get started quickly.”

On the side, Shen Jiayue asked:

“Doing this, won’t you be chased out by the former boss? Or perhaps they suspect you tampered when resigning.”

Qi Panpan smiled:

“It’s either the whole company collapses or they hold their noses and let me make money, the boss should clearly know how to choose. As for the technical aspect, everything was handed over clearly upon leaving. Someone suggested leaving backdoors back then, but I felt it wasn’t necessary, so I didn’t do it.”

Although they could poach high-priced professionals from other companies, they may not be willing to come. After all, the entire tech department resigning, for people in the industry, such a company is either very harsh on programmers or leaving a mess waiting to be cleaned.

These two possibilities would dissuade most people.

Moreover, those who can take over this mess are not worried about work; there’s no need to wade into these muddy waters.

This is the foundation of Qi Panpan’s confidence and why she believes she can eventually take over the outsourcing business.

Actually, the importance of the tech department in an internet company doesn’t need much discussion.

However, because programmers typically aren’t good at expressing themselves and don’t like to showcase, this “honest person” image leads the company to feel the tech department is dispensable.

Now, they should recognize the importance of the tech department, right?

The company’s boss who likes telling stories back then just caught the wave of the times and policies, but he didn’t think so, still believing himself a business giant and startup genius.

Now, it’s time for him to wake up.

Lin Xu reminded:

“Bring a lawyer when signing the contract, don’t be set up with a trap.”

“I will bring one. Feng’s brother has already been hired as the legal advisor of Joyful Media, also a big lawyer from Beijing, specializing in handling business legal disputes.”

Having signed so many chefs, Chen Yan pays special attention to legal aspects, originally wanting Feng to work part-time, but Feng couldn’t manage it, so recommended his brother.

The next morning.

After washing up, Lin Xu goes downstairs, takes half a soy sauce duck from the fridge, chops it into small pieces, rinses with hot water, then puts it into a clay pot.

Add clean water, and cook over low heat.

While simmering the duck, he brings out the rice soaked overnight, prepares the green veggies, and fishes out the large shrimp brought from the restaurant from the aquarium.

Once the duck is cooked, he’ll add the rice to make porridge.

This kind of porridge needs a long time to cook, fortunately not going to the restaurant today, after breakfast, directly take Dundun to meet the Jade Sculpture Master to make a statue for Dundun.

Besides porridge, Lin Xu also plans to make a few egg pancakes.

The pancakes are simple, mix egg flour with chopped green onions and carrot dices into a batter, then spread and fry them until golden in a flat pan, not much difficulty.

An hour later, the duck in the clay pot is already simmered with a wonderful aroma, the soup has turned soy-sauce-colored, and the duck is well-cooked.

Lin Xu adds the soaked rice, starts simmering to make porridge.

Making porridge with soy sauce duck is quite simple, no need for additional seasoning, just use the clay pot and simmer over low heat.

As the porridge is almost ready, Lin Xu starts making the egg pancakes.

Once the egg pancakes are done, the rice porridge also becomes sticky, and the duck meat has a slight tender feel.

Add the peeled fresh shrimp, chopped green onions, ginger threads, minced garlic, and other ingredients into the pot, boil the rice porridge on high heat, then add the cleaned green veggies, cover the clay pot, and turn off the heat.

Simmering like this allows the fresh taste of green vegetables to blend into the rice porridge, making it taste even better.

“Is breakfast ready?”

“It’s ready, Baobao, come eat.”

Shen Jiayue, who is now awake, has already pre-loaded everything Dundun needs in the car, such as disposable litter box, water, fish snacks, various toys, etc.

Upon hearing breakfast is ready, this girl comes over joyfully, looks at the soy sauce duck savory porridge Lin Xu served into bowls, feeling it’s somewhat novel.

Yesterday, she just casually mentioned, never thought soy sauce duck could really cook porridge, and the aroma is so rich, the presentation very appealing.

The reddish porridge looks appetizing, with crisp leaves inside and fresh fragrant shrimp.

Coupled with those plump grains of rice, one instantly wants to taste them.
