I'm the Culinary God

Chapter 234: The Onion Blast Mutton That Amazed Geng Lishan! Shen Baobao's Cooking Diary! [Seeking Monthly Ticket]


"Damn, these Large Shrimp are so tempting!"

"As a shrimp lover, I find these shrimp utterly irresistible."

"The king of versatility has branched out yet again, but I'm not surprised at all."

"I never expected that Boss Lin, while busy working for the Fishing Platform, promoting his hometown's scenic spots, being a video uploader, and a broadcaster, would even find time to break into the TV industry."

"And I heard he even spends his evenings playing pool with his wealthy father-in-law."

"If I had such a wealthy father-in-law, forget playing pool; I'd be happy even if he wanted to hit me every day!"

"..."

Under the Lin Ji's Food topic, the official announcement video had already been shared by enthusiastic fans, and now everyone was discussing it fervently.

To them, the dish of Oil-Braised Large Shrimp was not unfamiliar, as Lin Xu had made it once when he returned to his hometown, and both the proprietress and Zeng Xiaoqi had posted pictures online. But a picture is just a picture; it lacks the impact of seeing the sauce poured.

Moreover, when the post-production editor worked on it, they specifically used slow motion. The shiny sauce slowly drizzling over the bright red shrimp also captivated everyone's hearts.

"No wonder Boss Lin never updated the video of making Oil-Braised Large Shrimp on short video platforms. It was prepared for the TV show."

"So, are the other dishes he didn't make also reserved for the show?"

"What dishes?"

"The Seven-colored Water Chestnut Cake! For the past few days, the High Priest, Zeng Xiaoqi, and Wu Kexin have all been showing it off. Yue Liyue even did a live review. It feels like the whole world is eating Seven-colored Water Chestnut Cake, but I can't get any."

"Hopefully, Boss Lin doesn't forget us loyal fans who have been endlessly tipping Coins and sharing."

"Right, people outside Yanjing City can't see the Yanjing City travel channel and don't want to install the Yanjing TV Station app. We really don't know where else to watch the video."

"..."

While everyone was discussing, Shen Jiayue posted a message in the topic:

"All dishes made by Boss Lin will also be re-recorded and published on the short video platforms. During the recording process, he will include some cooking tips, so please don't unfollow, everyone!"

Initially, for the promotional buildup, Lin Xu would often appear in the TV station's programs.

But once Lin Ji's Food's business was on track, he would gradually reduce his appearances.

After all, the chefs at the shop and his senior brothers were also waiting for their chance to be featured.

As soon as Shen Baobao's post was out, everyone immediately declared they wouldn't unfollow.

Are you kidding? If we unfollow, how will we continue to see the chubby Dundun, the beautiful proprietress, the delicious dishes, and the gorgeous scenery?

Hmm, following one account and getting to see so much content—what a bargain!

「The recording scene of the program.」

The Sauce Burst Chicken Cubes were ready. After the close-up shots were taken, Zeng Xiaoqi tasted them and couldn't help but exclaim,

"Wow, these chicken cubes are so fragrant and tender, just as good as the ones your senior brother makes!"

When the beautiful Miss Zeng first went to Lin Ji for an interview, she happened to meet Xie Baomin, who was helping out in the shop. She had the good fortune to taste the Sauce Burst Chicken Cubes made by this Fishing Platform head chef and was deeply impressed by the dish.

She felt Lin Xu's skills were on par with Head Chef Xie's.

"I'm still not as good as my senior brother; his culinary skills are better than mine."

His Sauce Explosion Technique had always remained at the Superior Level, while Xie Baomin's culinary skills were clearly at the Perfect Level.

Therefore, in terms of both taste and presentation, his senior brother was a cut above.

After the recording, Geng Lishan tasted it as usual and remarked,

"Hmm, this is exactly like the Sauce Burst Chicken Cubes popular in Beijing decades ago. It's not like nowadays, where they throw all sorts of ingredients into this dish, making it an unrecognizable mess."

It was worth coming! Really worth it!

The previous Oil-Braised Large Shrimp used a traditional method from decades ago. I didn't expect these Sauce Burst Chicken Cubes to also have that old-fashioned flavor. It's almost like traveling back in time. Young Friend Lin is truly remarkable. To be acquainted with such an intergenerational friend is truly my, Geng Lishan's, good fortune!

After his reflections, he turned his gaze towards that piece of half-fat, half-lean lamb leg meat and the large scallions on top.

The first two dishes were so outstanding. Then this Scallion Explosion Lamb is even more worth looking forward to!

Compared to Oil-Braised Large Shrimp and Sauce Burst Chicken Cubes, Scallion Explosion Lamb is more widely known; even now, it's a very popular dish.

But with greater popularity, the dish has also become more particular.

For instance, the ingredients: one must choose lamb leg meat with some fat. The lamb from this part has slightly coarser fibers, which makes it chewier and more satisfying to eat, yet not so tough that it's hard to chew.

Combined with the bit of fat on the lamb's surface, it's both fragrant and has a good bite.

Using lamb tenderloin, on the other hand, would be a mistake.

Because tenderloin is too soft, it lacks texture. When eaten with scallions, it can give the impression of eating a mouthful of scallions without any meat.

The piece of leg meat on the table now has a bit of suet but isn't overly fatty; it's the ideal choice for making Scallion Explosion Lamb.

One look and you can tell Young Friend Lin is an expert. In that case, I won't say any more. I'll just wait to taste it.

Lin Xu had a sip of tea, took a short break, and then continued recording.

To prevent the audience from realizing it was all filmed on the same day, Zeng Xiaoqi even changed her outfit. She wore black wide-legged pants paired with high heels, making her look half a head taller than Shen Baobao.

Her top, a flowing bean-green shirt, not only perfectly showcased Zeng Xiaoqi's excellent figure but also created a lovely color contrast with the Scallion Explosion Lamb dish.

"Is this outfit okay, Boss Lin?"

"Yes, very beautiful!"
