I'm the Culinary God

Since the son and Mi Lan are completely handed over to me, I have to put in some effort.

Fortunately, Beijing’s business sector is quite well-developed.

As long as you pay, you can quickly find professionals in all areas to serve you. In small places, it’s impossible to get things done without connections.

Lin Xu held a corn cake in his hand and went to the rooftop, seeing his well-behaved Baobao wearing sportswear, dancing to fat-burning exercises along with the music.

The high ponytail swayed with the dance, making Lin Xu’s heart flutter.

He didn’t disturb the girl but slowly chewed on the corn cake, watching until a song ended, and it was then that Shen Jiayue realized she was being watched by a pervert:

"Hey, you’re peeping at me..."

The girl turned off the small speaker and hopped over, biting off the remaining half piece of corn cake from Lin Xu’s hand.

"Wow, it’s so tasty. I really like this corn-flavored food..."

Lin Xu curiously asked:

"Did you finish dancing?"

"Finished, half an hour of fat-burning workout makes fat have nowhere to hide! Go! Go! Go! Hurry up and eat, after eating I’ll take our mom to Ginkgo Garden, and then go fishing with Yan Bao and Dundun at a paid fishing pond."

Paid fishing pond?

Lin Xu was a bit puzzled:

"Why go fishing in such a place? The more you catch, the more you pay, it’s like giving money away."

Shen Jiayue said:

"It’s different, this fishing pond charges by the hour. Once you pay, no matter how many you catch, there’s no extra charge... Yan Bao and I plan to take Dundun to test the waters."

If Dundun didn’t go, it’s likely that not many fish would be caught in such a place.

Because the pond owner will deliberately place some small fish like carp in it, and after a busy half day, the anglers would just end up paying a high price for a few pounds of carp.

But with Dundun there, wouldn’t the big fish in there line up to hit the fishhook?

The two went downstairs and had breakfast with Chen Meijuan.

The sweet and delicious corn cake made Shen Jiayue very happy. This type of coarse grain is rich in dietary fiber, and eating more is indeed good for the body.

As for the Vegetable Python made by Chen Meijuan, it was equally delicious.

"Mom, what’s inside this? Meat?"

She took a bite of the Vegetable Python and found some white strips in the egg and chive filling, which tasted exceptionally delicious.

Chen Meijuan said:

"It’s vermicelli. Soak it until soft, fry in oil until crispy and fluffy, and add it to the filling. It tastes great and also absorbs the excess juice from the filling... I learned this from TV years ago."

"It can be done like this?"

Shen Jiayue felt it was amazing.

After eating and drinking, she started taking Chen Meijuan to Ginkgo Garden and then went fishing, while Lin Xu went to the store to continue making Skin Residue.

The task of selling five hundred portions in three days was originally expected to finish just in time.

Unexpectedly, nearly three hundred portions were sold in just one day yesterday.

Many customers loved the taste and specifically packed a portion to take home.

There were also some whose elders, upon hearing there was Skin Residue available, specifically told them to come and buy it.

In the past, many areas in North China had similar delicacies. Although the names might differ, the way of eating was the same.

Additionally, with recommendations online and some shop-exploring influencers’ on-site evaluations, all found it delicious.

After getting busy, Lin Xu checked the Huaiyang Cuisine side quest that started yesterday and found a dense list of dishes, including livestock, poultry, river seafood, ocean seafood, pastries, vegetables, vegetarian dishes, and so on, with a variety of types.

The task required making these dishes one by one, and each time you do, you earn points, with higher levels earning more points.

Once the points reach 100,000, you can obtain the Huaiyang Cuisine Cooking Technique.

Moreover, these dishes can be exchanged using points from the points mall.

However, dishes you explore yourself have a points bonus, whereas dishes exchanged do not have the corresponding bonus.

For example, the Braised Whole Pig’s Head received yesterday earned twenty points, five of which were an additional reward for Superior Level and five as a cross-level reward.

If made using a technique from the points mall, it would only earn ten points.

Moreover, dishes will only earn extra rewards the first time they are made, and afterwards, only basic points can be earned.

"It’s another point system..."

Lin Xu muttered, as the system originally had a points mall, then a training task with points was opened, and now there’s a cuisine points addition.

The myriad of points made people tired of looking at them.

He couldn’t be bothered to calculate, flipped through it randomly, and lost interest.

Today being Saturday, there were noticeably more customers coming to eat, such as Brother Qiang and Qi Panpan, each bringing classmates and girlfriends also working hard in Beijing, having a small gathering in a private room on the third floor.

To take care of business, the couple ordered every dish with Skin Residue in the store, significantly increasing its sales.

By the evening.

Just as Lin Xu was about to call Shen Jiayue to remind her to come back if no fish were caught, saying that there’s no shame in returning empty-handed, a system prompt suddenly sounded in his mind:

"The host successfully sold five hundred portions of Skin Residue and completed the side mission [Appearance Enhancement], earning a Perfect Level Local Delicacy Raffle. Would you like to draw now?"

No way, it’s completed just like that?

Sure enough, online promotion can bring traffic to the store.

Lin Xu was overjoyed, just about to go downstairs to find Dundun for the raffle, then remembered Dundun went to explore the paid fishing pond with mommy and aunt today and hasn’t returned yet.

He felt there was no need to involve his son for local delicacies, just draw directly.

One’s hands can’t always be unlucky!

He cheered himself on and in his heart, silently said:

"Draw!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a raffle wheel flashed in his mind, filled with all sorts of local snacks, many of which had familiar names but unknown tastes.

Lin Xu followed the steps and performed the draw.

Soon, the system prompt sounded in his mind:

"Congratulations to the host for winning a Perfect Level Local Delicacy—Crispy Chow!"
