Chapter 1161: Chapter 469: If You Have the Guts, Compete with Me in Western Cuisine! Lin Xu: There Are Requests Like That Too? [Subscription Request]_2

"You dare to publish this amateurish attempt? Do you really think it tastes good?"

"Today, it’s like using a small knife on your butt—an eye-opener."

"Mr. Lishan mentioned several taboos when making Eight Treasure Gourd Duck, foremost being no stitching... You really stepped on it well, didn’t you? Took your time aiming before stepping on it?"

"..."

There were many comments, attracting some video bloggers to join in the fun.

"The food section is getting heated, come see how the top dog in the food section slaps faces."

"They say the food section is the most competitive part of the platform, today I finally see it."

"Hope they don’t drag our gaming circle into this!"

"Phooey, don’t jinx it! Last time, Yue Liyue said Boss Lin occasionally plays games too and even mentioned doing a livestream together, don’t let him come here and compete."

"Exactly, Boss Lin stay back, don’t come to the gaming section!"

Over at the TV station, upon learning that Lin Xu also made Eight Treasure Gourd Duck today, several leaders felt an ominous feeling.

Sure enough, when they found the Human Taste account on their phones and saw Lin Xu’s Eight Treasure Gourd Duck, their faces felt burning hot.

No need to say much, just the seamless feeling and meticulous execution already beat the TV station by several streets.

Those who confidently grabbed the show thinking it would shine felt an inexplicable bitterness inside, making a program is indeed not that easy.

But now, having come to this point, everyone has no choice but to grit their teeth and move forward.

"Old Liu, is this Chef Min you found really a Michelin three-star chef? Why does it feel like he’s not even as skilled as an apprentice in a regular restaurant? If it’s not working, let’s quickly switch people, if the ratings don’t go up next time, the sponsors will withdraw."

The director of the advertising department, Liu Guitian, said:

"He’s a Michelin three-star chef, but Michelin doesn’t do this kind of bone removal dish, we definitely can’t compete with those traditional old dishes, that’s their forte, we need to showcase the strengths of a Michelin three-star executive chef."

Chinese cuisine is definitely Lin Xu and their forte.

But there’s more to world cuisine than just Chinese, there’s Western cuisine too.

We can’t let others lead us by the nose, the program needs to find its own way.

In the future, tell Chef Min to showcase his Michelin executive chef skills in the next recording, and quickly turn around the reputation.

Otherwise, everything will be in vain!

"We can do Western cuisine, but absolutely don’t provoke Lin Xu and the others, they’re minding their own business, we’re minding ours, otherwise it would be embarrassing if we get another slap in the face."

They thought it through very well but forgot to inform Chef Min who previously did the cooking.

This Michelin three-star chef considered himself returning home with honors, thinking he would become famous through the TV program, only to see the comment section of "Human Taste" and realize the situation was completely different from what he imagined.

He felt a bit unconvinced.

I’m not best at traditional Chinese cuisine, have the guts to compete in Western cuisine?

He found Lin Xu’s video of making Eight Treasure Gourd Duck and left a comment:

"This is Min Zhengnan, the chef from the TV station making Eight Treasure Gourd Duck, competing in a field they’re not good at, is this called winning? Have the guts to make a Western dish next time! Also, telling your fans to curse people is really disgraceful!"

Not long after posting, Xiaosui saw it during overtime at the company.

She rushed to Zeng Xiaoqi and asked:

"Boss, it looks like the chef from the TV station left a comment in the section, not sure if it’s him or an impostor, should we delete it?"

"Ignore it, just don’t respond... How many fans now?"

"Sixty thousand now, the number is shooting up, and it’s likely to hit the hundred thousand mark today."

Getting a hundred thousand fans on the first day of an account is somewhat of a prideful achievement.

Zeng Xiaoqi said:

"These are all Boss Lin’s fans, we shouldn’t be complacent, let the company’s signed top chefs play to their strengths, that’s the way."

"Okay boss, we’ll keep working hard."

Lin Ji’s Food, second floor.

Dou Wenjing, who was having dinner, said to Lin Xu:

"The company has already submitted your Fishing Association application for Yingchun Street to the neighborhood, they ask you to prepare the association’s charter, logo, directors, secretary-general positions, etc... basically, get the framework set up, to get approval more quickly."

Is it that complicated?

Originally it was just about making an organization for the fishing enthusiasts, but with these requirements...

Lin Xu said:

"Leave the logo to Lele, this kid can draw something usable with a casual sketch, as for the charter, we’ll copy someone else’s, the association’s chairman can be Grandpa Sun, yes, he’s quite suitable... I’ll let him know tomorrow, since it’s winter and fishing isn’t possible, it’s a good time to give him something to do."

Lin Xu originally wanted to take care of it himself, but suddenly he realized that as long as he let Grandpa Sun be the chairman, with his enthusiasm for fishing, he’d definitely get everything done.

To prevent being deemed exploitative by the system, he made sure to check the task requirements, confirmed there was no requirement for him to be the chairman, and felt relieved.

As soon as Grandpa Sun takes over, he can just wait for the task to be completed and claim the reward.

Anyway, it’s easy to gather members for the Fishing Association, just a shout out on Lin Ji’s Food topic and you’d have not just a hundred anglers, but a thousand wouldn’t be a problem.

"Xu Bao Xu Bao, someone contacted me for promotion!"

Just while chatting with Dou Wenjing, Shen Jiayue suddenly ran over, holding her phone, and proudly waved it in front of Lin Xu:
