I'm the Culinary God

Picking up the wine glass for a sip, then grabbing the chewy soy sauce duck feet, it truly is delicious.

Chen Yan originally planned to have dinner with Tian Qinglan after work in the evening, but upon hearing about the Flame Drunken Goose, she changed her mind and decided to bring her mother-in-law to the restaurant.

With such tasty goose meat, why waste money outside?

Besides, she hadn’t tasted her brother-in-law’s Flame Drunken Goose yet, today is the perfect chance. If it’s delicious, it’ll be another option for later.

Just like that, while everyone was finishing their lunch, they started looking forward to dinner.

Those who have tried the Drunken Goose plan to indulge themselves at night, while those who haven’t are imagining the taste of this delicacy.

For instance, Xiao Wei and Xiao Sui are very curious at this moment, wondering what kind of dish could make everyone so excited.

She really wants to come over after work to mooch a meal but feels it’s not appropriate, somewhat envious of Zeng Xiaoqi.

This pretty senior is qualified to mooch meals at the restaurant, but this lovestruck fool chooses to eat some braised dish—can that compare to Boss Lin’s culinary skills?

Once a woman falls in love, her intelligence is truly worrying.

Relatively speaking, it’s better to be single—not getting dumb, avoiding a lovestruck mindset, focusing all day on pleasing yourself—it sounds thrilling!

What’s the saying?

Wise men don’t fall in love; an iron pot only suits a big goose.

Life is all about trade-offs; what’s so good about love? Does it have the allure of stewing a big goose in an iron pot?

I wonder if the Flame Drunken Goose that Boss Lin will make today is as good as the iron pot stew from back home. I really want to taste it.

Just as she’s pondering, Chen Yan suddenly says:

"Brother-in-law, I think you shouldn’t make the dried goose, just bring all these geese to the restaurant this afternoon and turn them into Flame Drunken Goose. I’m bringing company tonight for tasting."

Xiao Wei’s eyes light up.

Wow, Chen is so generous.

With such a boss, how could you worry about not having vast wealth?

If she had beer on hand, she’d love to drink a toast to the boss.

Lin Xu didn’t expect Chen Yan to make such a request, so he said:

"Sure, I’ll bring the geese to the restaurant in the afternoon, and we’ll cook them for dinner to try."

The people of Guangzhou favor chicken, duck, and goose, but compared to the banquet must-have chicken and the low-priced various roasted ducks, goose meat is more expensive, so whether it’s roasted or braised, it’s consumed less frequently.

Only when guests visit the home does anyone slice up half a goose.

The people of Guangzhou treasure geese, taking great care and caution in cooking them. Any popular preparation method is invariably classic, making them a delight every time.

The Flame Drunken Goose is one of those representative dishes.

This dish evolved from Flame Fish, and while its preparation appears simple, it demands high culinary skills.

It’s all about the taste that comes entirely from the Drunken Duck Sauce; the sauce’s preparation is crucial and only skilled chefs can perfect it.

Besides the sauce, controlling the cooking time is extremely important.

Cooking briefly results in bland meat that’s tough to chew.

Cooking longer loses the perfectly unique texture and flavor of the goose meat.

Moreover, the entire cooking process of the Flame Drunken Goose is done right under the customers’ eyes, igniting rice wine in the pot feels like a performance, unconsciously igniting the customers’ excitement.

Waiting around twenty minutes for this pot of stewing goose to be done is required.

For the discerning people of Guangzhou, waiting twenty minutes for a dish indicates it’s delicious; otherwise, it wouldn’t be worth the wait.

After the meal, Lin Xu tidies up the kitchen, and after Shen Guofu finishes eating and drinking, although he planned to exercise, upon reaching his room upstairs, he collapses into bed and falls asleep.

"Oh, Dad’s snoring,"

At the door, Shen Jiayue brings a pot of tea, amused by Shen Guofu’s whistle-like snores, contemplating recording it to entertain Dundun but worried about upsetting her dad.

Han Shuzhen says:

"It’s the end of the year and your dad is quite exhausted, constantly making phone calls to collect payments. I didn’t stop him from drinking today, hoping he’ll relax a bit."

When payments aren’t collected by year-end, it can be infuriating.

Fortunately, Old Shen is experienced in this field, while pressure exists, it won’t affect company operations. Furthermore, the company is constantly transforming; collaborating with Yan Lin more, cutting off troublesome deals after the new year.

In this cash-is-king age, businesses that tie up large amounts of funds are unwise.

"You and Dad don’t have to work too hard; we’ll earn money too, and the household has enough to spend..."

Shen Jiayue, although having resigned now, earns good money from her video content, making at least several tens of thousands every month, even without involving advertising or sales, purely from viewership.

Eventually, as more videos are released, viewership will only grow.

Her income will undoubtedly be substantial then.

Additionally, her dividends from Joyful Media and Fat Dundun Catering ensure her annual income reaches seven figures, considering having property in Beijing, her earnings are delightful.

Especially since the main household income comes from Lin Xu.

Whether it’s the video business online, Lin Ji’s Food store, or even Ziqiang Shengjian—an unintended investment that’s now a money-making tree.

All these combined make Lin Xu’s income surpass most people his age.
