I'm the Culinary God

"Brother-in-law, can you pack half a roasted goose for me? I want to let your brother-in-law try it too."

Upstairs, Chen Yan was still unaware of Zeng Xiaoqi’s report; she was thinking about packing a serving of roasted goose to take back.

Well, when there’s something delicious, you definitely have to give your man a taste.

As she spoke, Dou Wenjing finished a cup of tea that helps reduce greasiness, and refilled her own, noticing Chen Yan’s cup was almost empty, she poured some for her too.

Lin Xu said:

"Alright, I’ll cut some roasted goose and pack it for you right away."

Chen Yan was pleasantly imagining Ren Jie’s reaction upon seeing the roasted goose, held up the teacup in front of her, took a sip, and then got burned by the hot tea:

"Oh, it’s so hot, who did this!"

Dou Wenjing, sitting beside her, was astonished:

"I just poured the tea so loudly, you didn’t hear?"

"Didn’t notice."

Shu Yun chuckled:

"She must have been thinking about how to do some naughty things with Officer Ren at home, didn’t notice you pouring the tea."

Chen Yan’s face turned slightly red:

"What naughty things, we keep it proper and respectful. Anyway, young people’s matters, that can’t really be called... nevermind, I won’t talk about it with you two singles anymore, where’s little Qiqi? Is she secretly outside calling Qi Siming?"

With an experienced expression, she sighed:

"Ah, still young, just half an hour off work and already thinking about it, yet still acting tough."

On the table were peanuts made by Shen Jiayue using an air fryer, not too successful but still edible. Chen Yan was mocking Zeng Xiaoqi’s love-brain while grabbing peanuts to munch on.

Even after a meal, these little snacks just make you want to grab another piece.

The first peanut was crispy, tasty, and savory, Chen Yan couldn’t resist grabbing another.

This time she ate a bad peanut, its bitterness made her grimace, spit it out with a tissue, tried rinsing her mouth with tea, only to burn her mouth again, making Yan Baobao almost cry from frustration.

She couldn’t help but complain to Shen Jiayue:

"Yueyue, couldn’t you pick through the peanuts you made? There’s a bad one."

"This is the raw material for alcoholic peanuts, the kitchen checked several times, I had the driver grab a few handfuls, you must be really unlucky to eat a bad one, huh?"

Chen Yan lamented:

"I miss the good luck on my engagement day, alas... sigh!"

A long sigh, full of desolation.

Shen Jiayue had just finished editing her video, and it was generating now.

Seeing everyone eating the peanuts she made, she sat down and seriously asked:

"Yan Bao, can you give me some advice on making peanuts? Why do these peanuts always seem imperfect, what’s wrong?"

Chen Yan wasn’t in the mood to discuss this.

Seeing Lin Xu had packed the roasted goose, she stood up and said:

"For the next ten days, don’t let me see another peanut... So bitter, a perfectly good meal ruined by one peanut."

Chen Yan felt very aggrieved, suddenly thinking that today had turned unlucky.

About to leave, Zeng Xiaoqi returned upstairs after finishing her complaint, hearing Chen Yan venting about her unfortunate experience, couldn’t help but be surprised.

No way, I just vented a few words to Dundun like talking to a tree hole, and it already showed effect?

It must be a coincidence, right?

As a resolute atheist, Zeng Xiaoqi tried hard to find a reasonable explanation for Chen Yan’s misfortune, thinking and thinking it over, Dundun was the biggest suspect.

Shu Yun grabbed a peanut to taste, said to Shen Jiayue:

"Boss lady, the peanuts taste a bit bland, doesn’t have the boss’s signature complex flavor when he cooks, this might be why you feel they’re imperfect."

Shen Jiayue nodded immediately upon hearing:

"Yeah, I think the flavor is lacking too, I need to think this over some more."

"You should let the boss help you adjust, he might just say a few words and help you make delicious peanuts, could even benefit a lot of netizens."

Shen Jiayue was just about to ask Lin Xu for advice, when the black-brown goose ordered by Old Huang was delivered, Lin Xu began cleaning it up in the big kitchen, even specially picked several helpers to assist.

Seeing this, Shen Jiayue didn’t feel it was appropriate to ask, decided to talk at home.

Since there were peanuts at home too, it was just right to try making some more.

Once the video was generated, she logged into Lin Xu’s account to upload it.

After passing review, the video appeared in the feed, netizens immediately flocked over:

"Wow, it really is roasted goose, planning to introduce this at the restaurant?"

"Ahhhh, my favorite roasted meat dish, if Lin Ji introduces this, I’ll go eat every day!"

"I want to too, but my wallet doesn’t allow it."

"The biggest obstacle to eating at other places is the taste, but for Lin Ji, it’s the wallet. I’ll work hard to earn money, strive for Lin Ji freedom soon."

"Me too, even though New Year is coming, can’t slack off, still need to keep earning money."

"Friends without money can follow the tutorial to make it, Boss Lin always shares openly in videos, just follow along and you’ll definitely succeed, that’s what I super love."

"If everyone could be like Boss Lin, it’d be great, have money come to the store, no money follow the video, meet everyone’s needs."

"..."

People commented enthusiastically even before watching the video.

Quite a few hands-on netizens planned to learn the roasted goose method and submit their efforts later.

However, upon seeing the video, they realized they were mistaken.

This assignment can’t be submitted at all.
