Chapter 1175: Chapter 474: Pan-fried Foie Gras That Everyone Can Make! This Is Just Too... Tempting, Isn’t It? [Subscription Requested]

"General Manager?"

Chen Meijuan hesitated a moment, feeling concerned about her son’s business:

"Can Yuanyuan, your cousin, really handle being the general manager given her young age? Should she get more practice?"

Lin Xu laughed and said:

"You elders are such contradictions. When Yuanyuan works the register, you worry she’s undervalued, and when Yuanyuan becomes general manager, you worry she lacks capability..."

"What’s up with your tone? I’m just worried about her affecting your business."

"It’s not just because she’s my cousin that she’s becoming the general manager. It’s because she has the skills; hence the personnel arrangement..."

This year, Ziqiang Shengjian isn’t opening more stores, but next year, it will definitely expand.

At that time, not only will Lin Xu be too busy, but Dou Wenjing will also be unavailable to manage the company, and Wang Ziqiang himself lacks managerial ability, as he’s focused on technology, leaving him even less time.

So someone needs to be assigned specifically to handle this.

This candidate shouldn’t be parachuted in from the main company or be an outside hire, as both would be unfamiliar with the frontline stores and employees’ workflow.

Without this understanding, managing effectively is impossible.

A suitable candidate should be chosen from among the store managers, and among the eight managers, Yuanyuan’s performance is far ahead, not to mention the numerous suggestions she made to improve work efficiency.

In this situation, the choice for general manager becomes obvious.

"As long as you’re confident, then your father and I won’t worry."

Chen Meijuan felt her son had truly grown up—not only does he have his own business, but he also has insights and opinions on management.

Lin Xu edited and uploaded the video.

Meanwhile, at Yu Hui’s home, sitting on the sofa in cartoon pajamas, Tongtong was holding a tablet when she suddenly shouted towards the kitchen:

"Mom, Uncle Lin uploaded the Black Sesame Paste tutorial! Hurry up and learn it, or I won’t get into the smart class and become Lele’s schoolmate."

Yu Hui poked her head out from the kitchen:

"You just ate and already want something sweet; haven’t you learned how your teeth got bad? I’ll find time to learn it and make it for you later."

"You better hurry and learn! I can wait, but the smart class won’t wait!"

Yu Hui: "..."

Little rascal, you think I don’t know what you’re up to?

I knew you were fabricating reports to get treats when you said Lele likes watching SpongeBob.

She sighed wearily.

Having such a child makes it hard to take a break.

To tone down her daughter’s antics, Yu Hui said:

"After your piano class on Saturday, I’ll take you to eat at Lin Ji. I heard your cousin Lele is going too, and I’ll ask if she really likes Mushroom Force glass seaweed and those snacks."

Hmph, my daughter doesn’t know what social death means yet—so let her experience it, as punishment for her recent misdeeds for treats.

Online, as soon as Lin Xu updated his video, the netizens flocked to watch.

"OMG, I haven’t even figured out the four ways to spell Fennel Bean, and Lin Boss already mastered four ways to make Black Sesame Paste."

"Bookmark: quick, quick, hurry and gather dust!"

"I’ve been craving Black Sesame Paste lately, Lin Boss really knows me."

"Betting a pack of spicy strips, the boss’s wife will definitely release an episode on how to make Black Sesame Paste."

"What boss’s wife? That’s the goddess of small appliances, alright!"

"I must say, the boss’s wife has indeed expanded my knowledge of small appliances, and our air fryer is rejuvenated."

"Front-row tip: dog food appears in the video, watch it with your partner."

"Crying out loud, as a single person, do I not even have the right to watch videos?"

"..."

Lin Xu looked at these comments online and asked Shen Jiayue, who was applying a facial mask:

"When will your video update?"

"Tomorrow. I’ll stagger the timing with yours to avoid comments about simultaneous updates, and that way, your video can climb higher on trending... Xu Bao, why does Pan-fried Foie Gras become oily after a quick sear?"

"Are you... hungry?"

Shen Jiayue patted her face with the mask:

"No, just curious..."

"I’ll make some for you to try tomorrow; you’ll understand then. Also, we’ll let Dundun have a taste, I think he hasn’t tried foie gras before."

After speaking, he carried a bathrobe into the bathroom.

The next morning, Lin Xu shot the skin residue made from double-layer egg skin at the store.

Today he intentionally increased the amount of yellow gardenia used, making the skin residue a brighter golden color, contrasting more vividly with the bright yellow egg skin, and more visually appealing.

Particularly those strands of noodles, golden and translucent, just looking at them makes one drool.

The finished skin residue looked great. Lin Xu sliced and arranged it on a plate, deliberately crafting a design to enhance its presentation.

"This is a cuisine from our hometown Yinzhou, improved to look even more vibrant, but its flavor remains unchanged. If anyone wants to try it, come to the store tomorrow; it’s limited-time only for the weekend."

Lin Xu said to the camera while picking up the skin residue to shoot close-ups, allowing everyone to see this delicacy as much as possible.

After the shoot, Dou Wenjing asked:

"When will the video be uploaded?"

Today’s video was recorded by the company’s photographer. Lin Xu can handle life-related videos himself, but for this clearly new dish advertisement, a professional photographer had to come.
