I'm the Culinary God

These individuals include Liao Jinming from the Dining Department at the Fishing Platform and the relevant leaders, Ye Lixin, the general manager of Yanjing Hotel, and leaders from various departments, Liu Zhengyu, the president of the National Tourism Association, as well as leaders from First Travel, Middle Travel, and Youth Travel.

These are all units that came to support the restaurant during its opening. Now that there’s a wedding, naturally, invitations should be sent out, even if it’s just for appearances, the etiquette must be done properly.

Apart from them, some elders and the like also need to be given invitations in person.

But for classmates and such, it’s not necessary to be so formal. Being overly polite would distance oneself from everyone.

Lin Xu directly sent a big red envelope in the group, telling everyone he’s getting married, and they should remember to express envy on the public screen at that time, and that’ll do.

Among one’s own people, no need for those fancy ceremonies; being simple and casual is fine.

However, he doesn’t accept gifts, but classmates can’t come unprepared.

Under Sun Minghao’s initiative, a group of classmates plan to compile moments of Lin Xu and Shen Jiayue looking at each other during their four years at school into a video to give to the couple.

Thanks to new living arrangements, everyone used smartphones while in school, and since Lin Xu was part of the department’s basketball team, he liked participating in various school activities.

As a result, many people have his photos and videos on their phones.

Regarding Shen Jiayue, being the captain of the school’s aerobics team, there’s even more related material.

As for photos of the two together, there are quite a few, because during school, Shen Jiayue often tangled with Lin Xu for various snacks, which the classmates have seen for four years, envied and been jealous of for four years.

Now that they’re about to openly share the feed, naturally, everyone’s eager.

To surprise the first couple in the class to get married, Sun Minghao even secretly created a group chat without Lin Xu and Shen Jiayue.

As soon as the group was set up, he sent a message to all members:

"Everyone check your albums, pull out the photos of Lin Xu and Shen Goddess, embarrassing ones too. When shown at the wedding, it’ll definitely be a shock."

To make the video well, Sun Minghao also quietly found Xiao Jia, the exclusive photographer of Xie Baomin, in Lin Ji’s fan group, to help with video editing.

For Xiao Jia, this is naturally no problem.

Just like that, the classmates’ unique congratulatory gesture for the newlyweds began.

After Lin Xu finished delivering the invitations and returned to the store, Shen Jiayue had already returned from fishing and was now eating roasted goose with Chen Yan.

Compared to the past few days, the sales of roasted goose have declined, as the price of it is quite high. Relatively speaking, sweet-skinned duck and roasted chicken are more affordable.

Seeing Lin Xu come over, Shen Jiayue put down her chopsticks:

"Xu Bao, was the Three-in-One Duck tasty?"

"Not bad, quite impressive. Regretting not coming along now?"

Shen Jiayue pouted:

"I thought delivering invitations was just a quick trip, who knew there’d be surprises like this? Had I known there was good food, I would’ve definitely tagged along."

Lin Xu replied:

"Mainly because Uncle Qiu wanted to give me special treatment, otherwise, for everyone else, it’s just delivering the invitation and exchanging a few pleasantries, or else I couldn’t have finished them today."

As they chatted, Lele ran upstairs:

"Xu Ge, where’s my invitation? Why didn’t you send me one?"

Knowing this girl was just being playful, Lin Xu laughed and said:

"My car doesn’t have a Tsinghua pass, I couldn’t get in, and besides, you come to the store every day, why do I need to specially deliver an invitation to you? Want any of the freshly made roasted goose?"

Little Mushroom Head quickly came over, picked up chopsticks, and while munching on meat, mumbled:

"I’m actually not that hungry..."

After eating a couple of pieces, she patted her head and said:

"Oh right, my English teacher, Ms. Lucy, officially declined my invite for her to attend the wedding today."

Lin Xu: ???????

I was just joking before, you actually planned to bring Lucy to the wedding site to embarrass the master?

It’s fine she’s not coming, if she did and had a showdown with the mistress, the wedding would be chaotic.

But Chen Yan and Shen Jiayue, who were looking forward to the drama, thought differently and asked curiously:

"Why? Such a great chance, often in TV dramas and novels there’s the iconic scene in the Shura field, hard to come across in real life, and now it’s just gone?"

Lele replied:

"She’s attending a friend’s wedding and declined me. She also said she can’t speak Chinese; coming would be awkward, although she really liked the wedding photos of Xu Ge and Yue Jie."

Seeing that Baobao was still being playful, Lin Xu said:

"Alright, alright, let the master have some peace, being labeled a traitorous disciple in his eyes is enough, I don’t want to take on that title further."

To divert everyone’s attention, he stood up and asked:

"What do you want to eat? I’ll make it right now."

Nothing seals lips better than delicious food, and sure enough, upon hearing about food, Shen Jiayue thought for a moment and said:

"I want Braised Pork Belly; although the pancakes and instant noodles were satisfying at lunch, ultimately there was no meat, gotta have some fatty meat to curb cravings."

Upon hearing this, Lele, who originally wanted meat pie, also said:

"I’ll have Braised Pork Belly too then, saves time and effort."

Chen Yan originally didn’t want to eat meat, but not eating would seem less sociable, so now there are three women clamoring for meat.

Lin Xu originally planned to make Braised Pork Belly but remembering the long-lost dish Red Stew Meat, he said:
