I'm the Culinary God

Chapter 229: The Summer Heat Relieving Divine Artifact—Watermelon Curd! So Simple Even Shen Baobao Can Learn It! [Seeking Monthly Tickets]


On the way to the West Fourth Ring Villa, Lin Xu took a detour to Welcoming Spring Street.

He went home to grab a couple of changes of clothes. He was definitely going to have a pool match with his father-in-law tonight, and not having a set of comfortable sports clothes would be a disadvantage.

He also tried to bring some pajamas and the like.

After all, it isn't my own home, and being too casual ultimately wouldn't be appropriate.

Besides clothes, he also took a few of Dundun's favorite little toys that he liked to cuddle with at night.

For example, a golden carp stuffed with silk cotton, a little mouse that would turn around when it hit a wall, and a tiny pillow the size of a palm—these were all Dundun's favorites.

At night, this little guy often slept with the tiny pillow, leaning against the little chubby carp while hugging the little mouse.

Sometimes, Shen Baobao would tease him by sneaking away the little mouse, and Dundun would whine dissatisfiedly, so cute that you couldn't help but want to kiss him on the forehead.

With clothes and Dundun's toys in hand, Lin Xu thought for a moment and also brought along the action camera he used for shooting videos.

It's time to update my videos. If I have time, I'll shoot a cooking method for a dish. If not, I'll update with a Dundun montage to satisfy his fans. Hmm, I'm a food and cute pet blogger. While focusing on food, I can't forget those fans who love Dundun. As a blogger, I have to be fair to all sides; it's not just an excuse to be lazy and not update my food videos!

When he got downstairs, he drove out of the neighborhood. Just as he was about to turn onto the North Fourth Ring, he saw Shu Yun and Dou Wenjing standing at the door, quietly discussing something.

Motivated by a desire to check on his employees, he parked his car on the side of the road and walked over.

"What are you two up to, Wenjing?"

"We were discussing when you'd treat us to crawfish again."

Lin Xu: ?????

Crawfish can be eaten at any time, right? However, if I plan to eat it soon, I can't notify Zeng Xiaoqi. The career prospects of this leading lady of the travel channel can't be ruined by me.

"The recruitment ended, and it was very smooth," Dou Wenjing said.

"The people who live near where Che Zai and his group stay are all from the catering industry. As soon as they heard we were hiring, they came over this morning, even skipping their shifts. This made it very easy for the company to find the staff we needed."

That simple? No wonder the two beauties are already thinking about crawfish. They're clearly looking for some recognition. I hadn't expected that when I worried about the staff not working hard and thus offered high salaries, it would trigger such a chain reaction. Of course, Che Zai and his group probably didn't skimp on showing off in their dormitory area. That's why there was such an overwhelming response.

Lin Xu said, "We can eat crawfish tomorrow or the day after. Today isn't good; I need to cook for my father-in-law later."

Dou Wenjing smiled and flipped her hair. "Just kidding with you. If we eat crawfish every day, we'd get fat and then how could we get married?"

She paused, then her smile faded, and she said seriously to Lin Xu, "We're planning to gather the staff and conduct some internal training to give everyone a stronger sense of belonging to Lin Ji. Also, Song Tiantian and her friends should be coming back soon. After a month of training, they'll definitely be capable of being supervisors."

Lin Xu wasn't knowledgeable about these matters. "You two can decide on that. If you need me to show up, just let me know in advance. Oh, by the way, Yanjing TV Station's travel channel might start advertising for us soon. When that happens, Wenjing, don't forget to buy some small gifts for Xiaoqi and her colleagues to maintain good relations."

"Sure, boss, I'll remember that."

After saying goodbye to the two women, Lin Xu drove onto the North Fourth Ring and then headed to the West Fourth Ring.

When he arrived outside the villa, he used his fingerprint to open the garage's rolling door and drove the car in.

He wasn't going back tonight, so it was safer to park the car in the garage.

Carrying the clothes and toys to the living room, he happened to run into Aunt Liu.

"Aunt Liu, where's Yueyue?"

"She's swimming in the pool at the back with Miss Chen. Do you need me to call them?"

Both of them? So my elder sister-in-law didn't leave after dropping people off? It seems like it's time to recommend her the book "How the Light Bulb Was Made." I was thinking of enjoying a swim with Shen Baobao while the elders weren't around, but since my elder sister-in-law is here, I'll forget it.

Lin Xu took the clothes and Dundun's toys upstairs.

He then went down to the basement and placed the pool balls on the table. While the Yanjing Ding Junhui isn't around, I should practice a few rounds to get a feel for the game. I can't let down my reputation as the Finance University Trump.

While he was practicing enthusiastically, the system's notification suddenly sounded in his mind:

"Host's beloved pet helped Shen Guofu sign a hundred-million-yuan order, completing the Hidden Task 'Divine Artifact in Action,' and obtaining a Superior grade summer dessert—Watermelon Curd. Congratulations to the host."

Haha! Dundun has contributed again! But wait… a hundred-million-yuan order? Is this little guy's ability really this godlike? It seems I've been underutilizing him by just having him bring luck in the restaurant. If he were in one of those companies with trillion-yuan valuations… Ahem, I'm getting ahead of myself.

Pushing those thoughts aside, Lin Xu decided to make a trip to the kitchen later to see what seafood was in the fridge.

My son made a great contribution; he deserves a special treat tonight.

He was about to continue playing with the cue stick when he suddenly remembered the Superior grade Watermelon Curd he had just received.

Considering it's the end of the scorching summer and the autumn tiger is still raging, it's the perfect time for a refreshing dessert like this. Plus, I haven't updated my video today. I'll shoot an episode about Watermelon Curd! Yes, a dessert like this will pique the fans' curiosity, and it's simple to make. An excellent choice for an easy video.
