I'm the Culinary God

"The S-level gift package has been delivered, please check!"

As soon as the system’s notification sound ended, Lin Xu noticed that there was a new golden virtual box with an "S" label in the system panel’s item column.

Ha, it’s getting more and more like those trashy mobile games.

He focused on the treasure chest, and immediately a prompt to open it appeared on the screen.

After choosing to open it, a golden light flashed and the system’s notification sound echoed in his mind again:

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining Perfect Level classic Cantonese dish—Roasted Goose, Perfect Level classic Hebei dish—Red stewed Pork Hock, Perfect Level classic Shandong dish—Crystal Sugar Bird’s Nest, Perfect Level Min Cuisine Cooking Technique—Red Rice Wine, Perfect Level Basic Cooking Technique—Vinegar Cooked, two Perfect Level Cooking Learning Cards, and two Perfect Level Dish Exchange Cards."

Wow, so many?

First on the list is the Roasted Goose.

This is a very classic dish in Cantonese cuisine. Lin Xu didn’t even expect to get this dish.

Maybe this is why Dundun wanted to choose the S-level.

If he had chosen five A-levels, perhaps each gift pack would only have one Perfect Level dish, and that’s still a minor dish.

Sure enough, listening to advice is beneficial.

With the Roasted Goose technique, and since the shop has a dedicated oven, it can be used to make Deep Well Roasted Goose or Ancient Well Roasted Goose to his heart’s content, which is quite exciting to think about.

Although Lin Xu is a Northern person, he is quite interested in Southern cuisine.

Especially dishes like Roasted Goose and Braised Goose, he indulges in them every time he goes to the South, even now, as long as he goes to the tenth building, these dishes are always present.

Now with the system’s rewarded technique, it’s time for Southern people like Yue Liyue, who are working hard in the North, to experience the deliciousness of their hometown.

Ah, in hometown Guangqu, the cherry blossoms... oh no, the Roasted Goose, are ready.

Roasted Goose is inseparable from Sour Plum Sauce, this sweet and sour dipping sauce is like the soul of the dish.

Unfortunately, making Sour Plum Sauce is too troublesome by yourself, so ask Guo Weidong directly next time, and buy some through the purchasing channels of the tenth building.

Besides the Roasted Goose, getting the Red stewed Pork Hock is also quite interesting.

The system prompt said it’s a Hebei dish, which refers to cuisine from Hebei.

Lin Xu read through the recipe and found that it’s a very suitable dish for banquets, as it can be made in large quantities, and the longer it stews, the softer and more delicious the pork hock becomes.

Hmm, when the wedding is over, going back home, this dish can be added to enrich the countryside banquet menu and experience what it’s like to cook at one’s own wedding banquet.

Roasted Goose and Pork Hock are quite suitable for debuting in the shop, while the Crystal Sugar Bird’s Nest dessert... this is probably meant for the elders, right?

Compared to meat dishes, the elderly are more suited to supplements like bird’s nest. It’s said that Emperor Qianlong loved Crystal Sugar Bird’s Nest so much that he almost had a serving every morning.

Since this first gourmet influencer of the Da Qing era liked it so much, why not follow suit?

After all, bird’s nest is affordable and not particularly expensive.

Thinking about it, Lin Xu glanced at Dundun.

This bird’s nest, could it be meant for the little one’s grandma, great-grandma, etc.?

Three dishes, two techniques, four cards, Lin Xu felt that opening this S-level gift pack was pretty good, truly deserving of the name "gift pack".

Unlike some games where the so-called registration gift pack, login gift pack, and first recharge gift pack, etc., are all garbage, completely fooling people.

The three words ’gift pack’ seem more like a mockery of players for being big fools.

Adjusting his mood, Lin Xu rubbed Dundun’s head.

Maybe the system also wanted to trick him, but was swapped out by the little gem Dundun.

Tsk, this is the benefit of raising a cat.

"Xu Bao, you’re back?"

Shen Jiayue came down from upstairs and immediately rushed over to Lin Xu:

"I’ve just finished editing Dundun’s annual video and scheduled it to update at 12:01 tonight, giving a surprise to the night-owl fans and also thanking them for supporting Dundun this past year."

Dundun has a lot of fans, and netizens actually hope it can livestream every day, even just for selling goods.

But Lin Xu and Shen Jiayue both feel there’s no need to burden Dundun with anything; its happiness is the most important. Unlike those internet-famous cats, Dundun may not necessarily be happy.

"Since you’ve edited the annual recap, then I’ll also edit one, summarizing the entire development process from the first day I opened the shop till now, and by the way, thank the fans and customers for their unwavering support."

If I weren’t an UP host, just posting some text to summarize and organize would be enough.

But since entering this field, naturally it’s better to express one’s thoughts through video, providing fans a more intuitive and immersive experience.

Just as Lin Xu was about to go upstairs, Shen Jiayue suddenly said:

"Xiaoqi just asked in the group about what to wear when dining with a boy, it seems like Qi Siming asked her to go to a Western restaurant for coffee."

"Just finished bashing Western food, now they’re off to eat it, if they get photographed, watch out for disappointed fans."

Shen Jiayue nodded:

"We said the same thing, so they’re planning to go shopping in Sanlitun, it seems Yan Bao and brother-in-law are also going to Sanlitun, tsk tsk... Jing, Yun, and Xiao Qing, the three single ladies, are giving Xiaoqi advice."

"What kind of advice?"

"Just about clothes and dressing up, they’re all excited, while Xiaoqi seems a bit puzzled, not knowing why Qi Siming suddenly asked her out."
