I'm the Culinary God

"It’s the first time I’ve discovered that green chili wrapped in batter and fried is actually so delicious!"

In the living room, Chen Yuanyuan was eating the freshly fried green chili skewers and found them very tasty. The batter outside was crispy, while the green chili inside was fresh and spicy.

The spiciness carried a subtle sweetness, making it more satisfying than stir-fried ones.

Chen Yan said:

"You can fry various ingredients like this, that’s how tempura in Japanese cuisine came about. Anything can be tempura."

At the moment, she was eating a skewer of bacon-wrapped enoki mushrooms. The aroma of the bacon and the enoki mushrooms was fully activated by the hot oil, coupled with the slightly sweet chili sauce on the outside, it was truly delicious and appetizing.

Lin Xu finished frying, holding a can of beer, eating while watching "Be There or Be Square" on TV.

Although it’s a movie from more than twenty years ago, the humor and plot remain timeless, especially when Uncle Ge seriously delivers jokes, making it perfect for eating, and unknowingly you’d take a big gulp of beer.

It’s best to watch relaxing movies like this when eating.

Shen Jiayue said with a grin:

"Luckily, when Xu Bao and I met, we weren’t unlucky, that would’ve been too dramatic."

Chen Yan pouted:

"You’re not unlucky, but others suffered... From when you started dating until now, I’ve eaten all the dog food for a lifetime... Yueyue, why does your Dundun always look at me like that?"

The durian in the living room hasn’t been eaten yet, everyone’s waiting to finish the fried skewers before starting, but Dundun seemed quite puzzled.

"I brought you a business deal, how come you haven’t ditched the stinky stuff, is it addictive?"

Shen Jiayue chuckled:

"Ever since you brought the durian over, Dundun thought you were so poor you had to eat poop, hence the sympathetic yet disdainful look it’s giving you..."

Chen Yan: ????????

Oh my, am I actually being disdained by a little kitten?

She finished the skewer in her hand, then opened the durian, scooped a big spoonful with the fruit spoon on the table, and ate it in front of Dundun.

This time, Dundun was dumbfounded.

The little guy immediately pretended to bury dung, then distanced itself, with an uncontrollable look of shock in its eyes.

Seeing this, Shen Jiayue laughed and said:

"Baby, this isn’t poop, it’s a fruit, just like the Snail Noodles we had at home before, don’t you remember the Snail Noodles? It’s edible."

She was afraid Dundun might have a cognitive dissonance, so she proactively explained.

After explaining, she picked up a spoon, scooped out a spoonful of durian, and ate it, detailing to Dundun the taste and texture of durian:

"It’s like creamy ice cream, it’s a kind of expensive fruit. Want to try it, baby?"

Dundun hesitantly walked over. The little guy occasionally ate fruit before, such as snow pear, Hami melon, watermelon, etc. But each time it ate only a little, just tasted it and lost interest, like it was testing for toxins for the adults.

But today, it really didn’t have the urge to test for toxins.

However, seeing everyone eating, it understood this wasn’t poop, and its sympathy for Aunt being poor enough to eat poop disappeared instantly.

Then...

Chen Yan received another call from Sister Weiwei:

"President Chen, that company just called saying they’re having contract issues with the TV station, they won’t sponsor any ads for now, planning to bicker with the TV station’s ad department first."

"If they don’t sponsor, they don’t sponsor. It’s just as well we can watch them bicker with the TV station."

Chen Yan found this a bit odd, always felt this sponsorship was mysterious, mysteriously appearing, and mysteriously disappearing, like kids playing house.

"This doesn’t feel like the style of a big company."

Zeng Xiaoqi was eating the potato chips in her hand:

"Big companies don’t advertise on TV nowadays, they do network push, targeted delivery, much better than TV... It’s good without the sponsorship. Once we’re more known, we’ll promote our own brand."

This really seems feasible, especially with some sauces, powders, and abalone sauce that requires more manual labor, these can be mass-produced and thrown on the online store for sale.

At that time, no need for franchises or stocking, fans can order directly from the online store, simple and convenient.

No need for netizens to worry about difficult proportions and weights with the condiments, skipping middlemen, order directly and enjoy, how delightful.

Chen Yuanyuan was quite interested in the topic:

"Then make a batch to try later, with Joyful Media’s traffic matrix, the selling power should be terrifying."

Geng Lele whispered:

"What if we can’t sell them?"

Shen Jiayue was full of ideas:

"Just change the label and let Wu Kexin handle them at a low price in the livestream, she and Brother Pan would surely take the job."

"Come to think of it, that could work... Brother-in-law, when do we start?"

Lin Xu took a sip of beer:

"Let’s talk after the New Year, just carry on for now. Once the Spring Festival is over, business expansion should begin, and after I get my Beijing residency, company operations should be easier."

Although setting up a company is quite quick now, the fact that everyone in the company is an outsider makes it slightly less convenient than locals in Beijing.

Chen Yan asked:

"Didn’t Yanjing Hotel say they’d give you a residency spot? Why no news?"

Zeng Xiaoqi, who knows about this kind of thing:

"First submit the materials, then submit the qualifications. There are many processes, it’s not just reporting a name and getting approval, it has to go through several audits."
