I'm the Culinary God-Chapter 568 - 275: You can’t eat this dish often, it uses too much rice! A different Four Happiness Roasted Gluten! [Subscribe please]
"Xubao, you can make Milk Yellow Mooncakes too?"
Shen Baobao’s face was full of surprise. Today, she was truly astonished by Xubao—who would have thought he could even make Milk Yellow Mooncakes? What couldn’t he do?
Tan Yajun was also somewhat surprised.
With the Mid-Autumn Festival approaching and the foot traffic in the store so heavy, the limited supply of snacks often sold out by noon. He thought that even putting out some five-nut mooncakes would sell well.
But who knew his nephew-in-law wasn’t planning on making traditional mooncakes and was set to make Milk Yellow Mooncake instead?
Wouldn’t these be a hit if introduced in the store?
Thinking this, the chief auditor immediately instructed Yuan Fei, "After we finish eating, go to the front desk and reserve fifty servings of Milk Yellow Mooncake."
There were more than thirty employees at the auditing office, plus friends and relatives they needed to gift, so fifty servings should be about right.
Lin Xu smiled and said, "Milk Yellow Mooncake isn’t very difficult to make. You just need to prepare the filling and the dough properly. It’s quite simple."
Upon hearing it was simple, Shen Baobao’s inherent chef genes were eager to give it a try. "Then, can I make it too?"
"You could, but I wouldn’t recommend it. If you got burned by the oven, I’d be heartbroken."
Lin Xu took a couple of sips of egg drop soup and continued eating his rice.
Worried that Baobao might want to learn, he quickly switched the topic to the Salted Fish Eggplant Stew. "It’s been a long time since I had Salted Fish Eggplant Stew. I didn’t expect it to taste this amazing. I’ll try making dishes with salted fish like dried bean curd stew, glass noodle stew, and layered tofu stew next time."
Sure enough, upon mentioning this, the chef gene was instantly overpowered by the foodie gene, and foodie Baobao came online again. "Wow, that sounds so tempting. Can you make each one for me when you have time?"
"Sure, no problem."
Listening to their conversation, Tan Yajun said with a smile, "Lin Xu, if you’re not too busy, you could also try steaming pork belly with salted fish. It tastes absolutely splendid. I had it once in Lingnan, but unfortunately, I don’t know the recipe or the specific method."
Salted fish and pork belly?
Lin Xu said, "I’ll give it a try when I have time and hope to achieve the flavor Uncle Tan is looking for. How many days are you going to Yu Zhou this time?"
"About three or four days, though the exact duration isn’t set yet. I was actually planning to eat less here so I could go straight to Yu Zhou’s spicy butter hotpot when I landed. Now, it looks like I’ll have to wait until tomorrow."
Yu Zhou is a city known for its food, with various cuisines strewn through its streets.
Compared to the hundred dishes and flavors of Rong City, the taste of Yu Zhou’s cuisine is as frank as its people—boldly spicy, satisfyingly numbing, and straightforwardly fragrant.
Just one bite can reveal the fiery passion of the people of Yu Zhou.
"For me, every business trip is a culinary journey. I enjoy walking the streets in my free time, buying local snacks, and eating as I go—it’s simply wonderful."
Having just finished a bowl of rice, Zheng Xiaoguang asked with admiration, "Can you really wander about in Yu Zhou on your own?"
In that magical 5D city, even GPS could give up, and here was this expert, managing to wander alone—it was truly enviable.
Tan Yajun chuckled and replied, "I can, but I always need to take a cab back... The streets in Yu Zhou are just too confusing. Every time I go there, my head is all muddled."
His words resonated with everyone.
Almost every tourist in Yu Zhou has had the experience of getting lost.
The group continued to eat and chat. As they were eating, Shu Yun came up from the stairwell, carrying an empty rice pot.
Seeing Lin Xu, the beautiful general manager immediately said, "Boss, please don’t make Salted Fish Eggplant Stew too often, especially not with hand-torn cabbage. It’s too rice-consuming! An entire large pot was wiped clean, and people aren’t even full yet. I’m going to get some more."
Lin Xu was speechless.
Do girls these days all eat so much?
No wonder they had to eat separately. If they were sitting together, perhaps some assistant cook’s ideal image of a goddess would have been shattered.
He called out to Chezi, who was nearby discussing his interview experience with the kitchen assistants, saying, "Chezi, go to the kitchen and get some more rice for Manager Shu."
Then he said to Shu Yun, "Tell everyone not to eat too much. If they overeat and make themselves ill, it would be embarrassing if word got out."
"I know, Boss."
Previously, I had been worried about how the waitstaff would describe the dishes to customers, but now it was easy. Just saying that I once overate myself is more effective than any adjective.
Lin Xu felt that from now on, he must not only make it but make it often, so everyone could eat their fill and avoid situations like today’s.
Moreover, the cost of Salted Fish Eggplant Stew wasn’t high, making it quite suitable as a staff meal.
Soon, Chezi came over carrying half a pot of rice.
Before lunch, Lin Ji’s Food’s number one employee was still doubtful whether today’s ingredients would turn into delicious dishes. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
Now, he no longer had any doubts and was even looking forward to the Four Happiness Roasted Glutinous Rice.
"Boss, when are we making the Four Happiness Roasted Glutinous Rice?"
If the Salted Fish Eggplant Stew was this delicious, the Four Happiness Roasted Glutinous Rice must be tasty as well, right?
These words left Lin Xu unsure how to respond because making Four Happiness Roasted Glutinous Rice depended on Cui Qingyuan’s schedule. The dish was prepared only when this particular customer came to eat.
He looked at Shu Yun, who was about to leave with the rice, and the beautiful general manager immediately said, "Professor Cui said he would come around seven tonight. Just arrange the preparation time as you see fit; he doesn’t mind waiting."
People’s tolerance for good food is often quite high.
