I'm the Culinary God

Finally, sprinkle some chopped scallions into the pot, and this delicious and tasty mushroom chicken porridge is done.

Chen Meijuan placed the freshly steamed scallion pancakes and cooked flatbread in a basket, along with various tasty dishes, and shouted to the people busy upstairs:

"Time to eat!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Jiayue, who was cleaning in the upstairs study, immediately took off her dust-protection headscarf and happily headed downstairs. Passing Shen Guofu, who was wiping the stair railing, she uttered in Sichuan dialect:

"Not being eager for meals shows a problem with the brain, hurry down for lunch, Dad. I hear there’s soy sauce meat!"

Upon hearing there was meat, Shen Guofu put down the cloth and went downstairs with his daughter.

By the time everyone was downstairs, Lin Xu had already served the porridge.

Shen Jiayue held a spoonful close to her mouth, blew gently, and then placed it in her mouth.

Enjoying the delicious, smooth porridge and the fragrant chicken within, she couldn’t help but exclaim:

"This porridge is really good, my mother-in-law’s cooking skills are truly number one in the world!"

Han Shuzhen glanced at her daughter:

"You always have so much to say. After eating, remember to go to Building One at the Fishing Platform with Xiao Xu. You need to try on outfits and rehearse the entry, the wedding company personnel is already waiting there."

With improved living standards, wedding ceremonies are more meticulous.

To give the newlyweds a perfect memory, rehearsals are usually organized in advance to practice the step routines and go over the procedures.

Additionally, the emcee will communicate with the groom and bride regarding matters that should be avoided, to prevent any slip-ups.

"Alright, no problem!"

Shen Jiayue took a bite of the scallion pancake, immediately following with a piece of steamed soy sauce meat, creating a strong contrast between the chewy meat and the soft pancake.

The savory taste of the scallion oil and soy sauce was also very appetizing.

Han Shuzhen tasted the tender chicken in the porridge and smiled as she spoke to Aunt Liu:

"It’s different from your method, but the taste is on par."

Aunt Liu quickly said:

"Lin’s wife makes it better, using chicken thigh meat makes it more tender; she seems to have coated it with starch, I must learn this specifically later, this porridge is really delicious."

Chen Meijuan chuckled:

"It’s all guesswork, kind of a wild approach."

Shen Guofu thought the porridge was good, though there was a bit less meat.

If it were a bowl full of meat, it should be quite satisfying to eat.

He planned to ask Lin Xu later if there was a way to make meat-focused porridge, such porridge would be very satisfying and quite craving-calming.

For now, he could only think about it, not dare to ask in front of his wife, otherwise he would face the consequences.

While Shen Guofu was contemplating this, Lin Xu was instructing about the noon meal at Fishing Platform:

"Arrive before eleven, my mentor hasn’t been back in Beijing for a long time, chat with him more."

Lin Hongqi said:

"Okay, we also brought a gift for your mentor to present."

Upon hearing this, Shen Guofu said:

"Shuzhen and I also bought a piece of natural jade, planning to give it to Chef Gao, to thank him for mentoring and guiding Xiao Xu. Encountering such a mentor in life is truly a blessing for our family."

Despite Shen being wealthy, when it comes to connections in Beijing, he wasn’t as good as Old Gao.

After all, working a lifetime at the Fishing Platform, acquaintances are everywhere, making everything easier.

Lin Xu’s smooth acquisition of a Beijing residential quota was thanks to Old Gao’s connections, otherwise, it would have been extremely difficult for a non-Qingbei fresh graduate to settle with the special talent quota.

After breakfast, everyone continued to be busy.

Lin Xu drove, heading to the Fishing Platform with Shen Jiayue.

Initially, they wanted to bring Dundun, but Chen Meijuan and Han Shuzhen wanted the little one to stay with them, so Dundun resolutely stayed with the elders.

As Shen Jiayue went downstairs, she grumbled:

"It’s true, the bond spans generations. With Dundun, even I’m out of favor."

Lin Xu held her soft, boneless hand and smiled:

"As long as I favor you, it’s fine."

"Thank you, hubby!"

Haha, finally registered their marriage; from now on, they and Xu Bao would legally be a family, never apart.

The thought of spending a lifetime with Lin Xu made her break into silly laughter.

"Xu Bao, sometimes I feel so dumb, will you mind?"

"Not at all."

"Then if I get fat, will you care?"

"Not at all."

"You’re going to spoil me."

"Then spoil away, is it a crime to spoil my wife?"

The couple, hand in hand, reached the underground garage, and drove straight to the Fishing Platform.

Upon arrival, the wedding company personnel were already there, not only them but also Chen Yan and the wedding photographer Cai Sen were present. Compared to recent days, Cai Sen’s hair had noticeably changed.

The once light green Mohican hairstyle was now dyed red, paired with fiery color, his head looked like a rooster’s comb from afar.

"Why did you dye your hair?"

Lin Xu greeted Cai Sen with a laugh, did this photographer finally realize the color was off?

Cai Sen said:

"Don’t even mention it, wrong friends, a few goofy friends lost money in stocks, blaming my hair color for turning the market green, forced me to dye it red."

"Did their stocks rise then?"

"Completely trapped, playing superstitions while trading stocks, who else but them could get trapped?"

Lin Xu thought business folks were superstitious, but didn’t expect the same from stock traders.

Is this what they call science leading to theology?
