Chapter 921 - 390: Surprisingly a Hardcore Fan Disguised as a Hater? Comrade Shenhai, You’ve Worked Hard!
"Agree."
Taking advantage of Old Fan not being here, naturally, we have to pass the buck.
Of course, even if Old Fan were here, we could still say it’s Chef Yin from Building Twelve.
Anyway, if it’s below ninety points, the head chef isn’t me.
Who it is doesn’t concern me.
Dai Jianli was talking and noticed Gou Junguo recording the third dish:
"Old Xie, is this the front desk manager from Yanjing Hotel?"
"That’s him, probably hurt by my restaurant exploration video, specially visiting my junior brother’s restaurant today... But I still can’t figure out if he’s truly here to pick faults, or trying to ingratiate himself with us."
"How so?"
"He ordered a bunch of dishes personally made by my junior brother, and he praised each one every way possible, making me feel embarrassed."
This...
Old Dai was also confused:
"Could this be our... deep-sea comrade?"
At this moment, Gou Junguo, whom Old Dai considered his own, was reviewing Lin Xu’s Stir-Fried Fish Intestines:
"Fish intestines are very tender ingredients, generally used to make omelets in Cantonese cuisine. Lin Ji’s here boldly uses the Stir-fried Pork Intestines method to fry them. One must say it’s bold, but the taste is outstanding. The fish intestines are cleaned very well, crisp and tender, combined with the sour and spicy flavor, making it irresistible..."
After a round of reviews, the cameraman muttered:
"Why do we feel like we’re paid to praise Lin Ji’s?"
The on-site director did not speak but also nodded silently.
Those store exploration hosts ridiculed for taking money rubbed shoulders with our Mr. Gou, who praises every dish in spectacular ways.
Although the taste is truly excellent, making it hard to stop eating, at least preserve some dignity as a store exploration host.
Praise whatever comes, it’ll be hard to finish without charging Lin Ji’s a few thousand bucks.
Gou Junguo didn’t want to explain any further, and after finishing recording, he pushed the plate forward: 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
"You two try it, these fish intestines are indeed surprisingly good and delicious. If you put a big bowl of rice over it, there’s truly no cure."
The on-site director didn’t move his chopsticks but asked softly:
"Manager Gou, could you tell me honestly, didn’t you take any money from Lin Ji’s?"
"I came to pick faults, how could I take money?"
The on-site director glanced at the red oil Gou Junguo forgot to wipe off at the corner of his mouth, clearly not like someone finding faults.
"I also didn’t expect it to turn out like this, but their dishes are indeed delicious. We can’t lie with our eyes closed, right? Just shoot, and we’ll make a video and talk about it later."
It could only be like this.
Came with the courage to be a hater, but unexpectedly the leader turned into a loyal fan.
Such a transformation is somewhat hard to adapt to.
However, short videos are all for traffic, using contrast as a way to shoot isn’t bad.
With so much buildup before, Lin Ji’s Food fans also know the intent was to find faults.
But with such content contrast, it might suddenly become popular.
Soon, Ginger Duck was delivered.
As soon as it was on the table, everyone was attracted by the rich ginger aroma from the duck.
The ginger smell is very strong, a scent only old ginger can have.
Opening the clay pot lid, the broth inside was still bubbling, indicating it was just taken off the stove.
"This ginger aroma smells so good, why isn’t it the same as the ginger at home?"
The cameraman isn’t someone who likes eating ginger, but today, smelling this ginger aroma feels extremely enticing, lacking the strong raw ginger smell and quite tempting instead.
Gou Junguo said:
"You don’t understand, do you? Cooking Ginger Duck has to use ginger over three years old, known as ginger seed, very hot in flavor, great for warming up when used in cooking. You don’t need to taste it to know it’s not bad."
The on-site director smiled helplessly.
The iron fan wrapped in a hater’s disguise is here again with creative praise.
Not far away, Dai Jianli watched this and clicked his tongue, saying:
"When Manager Gou uploads the video, I gotta call on fans to support with coins, it’s really not easy, body in Yanjing Hotel, heart towards Fishing Platform, it’s truly touching."
Xie Baomin nodded in agreement:
"He was strong-headed when he first came, full of resentment, who would’ve thought he’d lurk so deep? When they’re done filming, I must offer him a toast."
"I’ll go too, our Fishing Platform lacks such good brothers."
Although Gou Junguo didn’t admit it, in the eyes of the Fishing Platform duo, he’s already one of them.
Since he’s one of them, naturally a toast is needed.
While they were chatting, Wu Kexin was interacting with the netizens:
"Now most of the dishes have come out, Chef Xie also gave very sincere evaluations, if there’s anything else you want to ask, hurry up and ask in the comments."
Just as she finished speaking, a comment floated by:
"Chef Xie, since Die Lianhua is your wife, why is she still entangled with Gao Xiaoshuai?"
"Yes, I also want to ask, she’s always been Gao Xiaoshuai’s iron fan. Is Gao Xiaoshuai Grandpa Gao’s son?"
"Gao Xiaoshuai and Grandpa Gao both have the same surname. There should be some connection."
"In earlier tips, Die Lianhua was chasing Gao Xiaoshuai. Definitely not Grandpa Gao’s son; otherwise, it would be chaos."
"So Grandpa Gao is actually Gao Xiaoshuai then?"
"Such a respectable State Banquet master, playing so fancy behind the scenes is possible?"
"Wow, feels like we’ve discovered a big secret."
