I'm the Culinary God

Now Lin Hongqi actively added Gao Peisheng and Luo Shan to highlight the Lin family’s tradition of respecting teachers.

Lin Xu’s grandmother was a principal all her life, and the family originally had a tradition of respecting teachers. Now that Lin Xu has such a good mentor, it’s only natural to reflect this at the wedding.

Grandpa Gao listened to this, exchanged glances with Luo Shan, and a joyful expression appeared on his face.

Being honored at the wedding as the mentor and the mentor’s wife, although seemingly insignificant, is something few do in modern society.

After all, no matter how close a teacher is, they are outsiders.

And a wedding is a very private occasion, where traditional folks might even feel that outsiders shouldn’t sit on the wedding stage.

Now, with Lin Hongqi proposing this solemnly, it gave Grandpa Gao a sense of satisfaction, feeling like accepting this apprentice wasn’t in vain.

He glanced at Lin Xu’s elders and hesitantly asked:

"There are already so many parents and elders; if we join, will it delay things too much?"

Shen Guofu waved his hand:

"It won’t delay anything. We can just start earlier. After all, it’s only a short distance from building 10 to building 1, not even a kilometer... Head Chef Gao, please don’t decline. If you don’t accept Lin Xu’s honoring tea, we elders would appear very rude."

Upon hearing this, Grandpa Gao looked at Lin Xu with an appreciative smile:

"Alright, tomorrow I’ll drink my apprentice’s honoring tea."

With that, he lifted his glass and downed the two ounces of liquor in one gulp.

Beside him, Luo Shan, completely unprepared for accepting honoring tea as the mentor’s wife, felt extremely joyful.

She didn’t even bother eating and pulled out her phone to contact her secretary, instructing them to quickly prepare a high-end Chinese qipao.

To drink the apprentice’s tea, naturally, she must wear new clothes.

She also instructed the secretary to prepare two gold bars, one each for Lin Xu and Shen Jiayue, using the gold bars to symbolize their love being stronger than gold, doubling as a good omen.

"Ms. Luo, what size should the gold bars be?"

"More than a pound. Not too small, otherwise it won’t be grand enough."

For ordinary people, they might choose diamonds, agates, jade, platinum for luxury jewelry, but for the wealthy, no gemstone preserves value like gold does.

Especially now with synthetic diamonds gaining popularity, natural diamonds have completely lost their already weak financial attributes, with only gold remaining as the core of the gold standard.

After lunch, Chen Yan took Chen Meiliang’s family and Lin Hongqi and his partner to the suburban Horse Farm for a leisure trip.

Chen Meide, a small leader at the Cultural Bureau, went with Lin Hongjun and Lin Hongqi to visit Geng Lishan, a cultural figure who had looked after Lin Xu more than once, deserving a visit.

Shen Guofu drove to deliver wedding invitations to Lao Tan and others, also inviting his familiar friends for a small gathering at Lin Ji in the evening.

As for Chen Meijuan, she seized the gap before the wedding to join Han Shuzhen and Lin Xu’s aunts to do beauty SPA, aiming to present the best image at the child’s wedding.

Everyone was busy with their own matters, but Lin Xu and Shen Jiayue were quite idle.

"Xu, is it us getting married or them throwing a party? We seem like the outsiders here."

Sitting in the car, Shen Jiayue watched as relatives and family drove off separately, feeling suddenly redundant.

Lin Xu chuckled and said:

"Relatives hardly visit Beijing, so they will certainly go sightseeing, and a wedding is essentially a chance for gathering, so let’s seize this opportunity to relax too."

Upon hearing this, Shen Jiayue’s eyes lit up:

"Where shall we relax?"

Lin Xu originally wanted to suggest watching a movie, but seeing Shen Jiayue’s enthusiasm, he said:

"We can go for archery, rock climbing, skiing, shooting, golfing, anything you prefer. On the day before our wedding, let’s sneak away to enjoy our time together."

Hearing this, Shen Jiayue immediately responded:

"Go catching dolls!"

Lin Xu: ????????

Asked to find a high-end place to hang out, is this all you aim for?

He waved his hand and said:

"Forget catching dolls. We might need to explain if someone photographs us. Choose another."

"Then let’s go to the Archery Club. I have a platinum diamond card there and can book a venue privately. Then I’ll show you my archery skills hitting bulls-eye consistently."

With this, Lin Xu started the car and followed the navigation to the Archery Club.

Upon arrival, although he didn’t achieve Li Guang’s spirit of being possessed, nor was he a reincarnated Hua Rong, he at least thought he could hit the target. Yet initially, he was unaware of how to exert his strength.

Helplessly, he used points to redeem an Excellent Level archery technique and finally had a competitive face-off with Shen Jiayue.

The ten-meter target didn’t satisfy their thrill, so they switched to a thirty-meter target, considered long-range in archery, as it demands not only precision but also considering the arrow’s arc.

Lin Xu relying on his skills finally overtook Shen Jiayue.

The pair had fun for a while, then went to the shooting club for firearms practice, not returning home until nightfall.

In the evening, instead of going home, they stayed at the presidential suite of Building 10 of Fishing Platform, chosen for Shen Jiayue’s convenience of makeup in the morning.

If they stayed home, they would have to get up before dawn to come here for dressing and makeup, a lengthy process taking nearly two hours.

And since they will be fetching the bride in the morning, any slight mistake will cause a delay.
