I'm the Culinary God

Chapter 1176: Chapter 474: Pan-fried Foie Gras That Anyone Can Make! This Is So... Irresistible, Right?

This can make it more dazzling and attractive.

Lin Xu said:

"Once the video is ready, upload it. The earlier you upload, the more people will watch it, and the sales of Skin Residue should improve tomorrow."

Three days selling five hundred portions is quite challenging, but with sincere promotion, customers will at least want to try it out and see how this noodle-made delicacy differs from other local snacks.

The video shoot was completed, and it was almost lunchtime.

Today’s lunch includes Potato Braised Pork Ribs, Minced Meat Pickled Green Beans, and Spicy and Sour Zucchini, with rice and steamed buns as the staples, you can eat whatever you like.

Lin Xu served himself a bowl of rice, then scooped a ladle full of Potato Braised Pork Ribs on top, making a plate of rice with toppings.

Just as he sat down with the bowl, Shen Jiayue came over.

"Xu Bao, you can have the ribs, I’m not eating them."

This made Lin Xu curious, because usually when eating ribs, she would proactively grab them out of his bowl.

"Why not eat them?"

"Because when today’s video was updated, Yan Bao commented saying I had gained weight and encouraged everyone to like it. I’m going to lose weight, get slim like lightning and make her envious!"

Here we go again, here we go.

When will the drama of you guys trying to lose weight while getting fatter ever end?

Lin Xu was just about to make a sarcastic remark when he noticed Shen Baobao putting a pile of ribs in his bowl. He instantly thought that some good-natured rivalry between sisters could be nice.

How else would there be so many ribs in his bowl!

Thank nature for this gift!

At one in the afternoon, Lin Xu drove to the company to film today’s dish—pan-fried foie gras.

When he arrived, he found that the show’s regular guest Qiu Zhenhua and Qi Siming were already there, tidying up the kitchen.

Compared to before, Qi Siming had taken out his earrings and dyed his hair black, transforming from a troublesome youth to the good boy in elders’ eyes.

"Boss Lin, you’re early."

Seeing Lin Xu, Qi Siming greeted him proactively.

The office heating was on high, Lin Xu took off his down jacket and hung it on the coat rack, asking curiously:

"Why don’t you wear your earrings?"

"Director Zeng said our show is genuinely traditional Chinese cuisine, not new Chinese cuisine, so I dyed my hair and took the earrings out, to avoid criticism from the netizens."

Which is good, avoiding the opponent from exploiting these details to criticize thoroughly.

However, considering that Qi Siming has the experience of being the main pastry chef at the Winter Olympics, only those unknowing netizens might throw a few words of criticism. In reality, any pastry master would respectfully call him Master Qi.

Being the head chef in significant national events and banquets has already proven his strength.

And once he creates that intricate motorcycle for real, wouldn’t netizens immediately be in awe?

Qi Siming handed Lin Xu a can of drink, quietly asking:

"After partnering these days, I want to apprentice under Chef Qiu, how should I ask him?"

Hey, has he realized the benefits of Magic and Martial Dual Cultivation?

Among the eighteen head chefs at Fishing Platform, the senior disciple Xie Baomin is far above, while Guo Weidong closely follows, and the third in recognized culinary skills is the all-rounded pastry and cuisine expert, Qiu Zhenhua.

Unlike Yin Hongbin, who is only good at making noodles, Qiu Zhenhua’s pastry skills are more extensive, mastering almost all snacks, desserts, and a wide variety of Su-style desserts.

Mastering the entire pastry repertoire, he also entirely grasped the true heritage of Huaiyang cuisine; if not for the senior disciple’s extraordinary talents, probably nobody at Fishing Platform could surpass him.

As for the second-ranked Guo Weidong, he merely caught up after five years of shame under Xie Baomin’s tutelage, overcoming disgrace with diligence.

In those five years, Guo Weidong was busier than a senior high school student, managing both the tenth building’s affairs and his family, and occasionally squeezing out time to practice his culinary skills diligently.

However, after five years of hard training, the leaders felt Xie Baomin winning first every year became too bland to watch his routine victories, so they canceled the competition.

Truly reminiscent of life and destiny.

When you’re unprepared, destiny thrashes you repeatedly.

Once you’re prepared, dear destiny... changes the game.

Isn’t it just absurd?

"Just say it directly, there’s no need to be shy."

Qi Siming smiled bashfully:

"I’m just afraid of rejection... Can you give me a tip?"

Lin Xu pondered for a moment, then said:

"How about this: after filming the video, I’ll subtly ask Chef Qiu for you, see what his response might be."

"Alright, alright, thank you so much, Boss Lin. If this works out, forget using pastry to make a motorcycle, even making a Maserati from dough won’t be refused."

Lin Xu: "..."

Why does this feel like passing love notes for classmates in middle school?

Being so shy even to apprentice, what about finding a partner later?

Will you get someone to relay messages too?

He changed into his chef’s attire, prepared all the work diligently, greeted Geng Lishan who had just finished lunch, and began filming the show.

"Hello everyone, I am Siming, and this is my partner, Chef Qiu. When the first episode aired last week, a few attentive netizens said Boss Lin only excels at making Chinese cuisine, which really isn’t impressive. In the spirit of enjoying the spectacle, we’ve lavishly invested in procuring high-end ingredients, preparing to let Boss Lin make a Western dish... see how our program cares for our fans."

Though he hasn’t filmed many episodes, as a young person, Qi Siming quickly familiarized himself with the program, even deliberately twisting universally known rivalries and challenges into fan perks, setting the tone for this contest from the start.
