Chapter 970: Chapter 406: It’s So Delicious, I Could Eat a Whole Pot of Goose Feet! Taking Dundun to the Auto Show!

Once the peanut oil is in the pot, stir it a bit, then immediately take the pot off the stove.

Use a ladle to drizzle the braised sauce over the goose feet in the pot.

The rich aroma made Lin Xu take a deep breath involuntarily.

It smelled amazing.

Just for such a rich aroma, selling a goose foot for 98 isn’t too expensive.

Evenly drizzle the sauce from the pot over the goose feet, then arrange a circle of blanched broccoli in the bowl, and this dish of braised goose feet that can sell for up to a thousand dollars is now officially complete.

"Since the dish is ready, let’s dig in."

Lin Xu called Ye Lixin and then headed to the pastry department, intending to invite Qi Siming to join them for a meal, only to find that Qi Siming was changing clothes when he arrived.

"Boss Lin, I’m not going to have lunch here, and I have to take a half-day off in the afternoon. Usually, my dad and I annoy each other, but now... I need to go home to be with him, in case he thinks of doing something stupid."

"Alright, you go ahead. I’ll be around all day, so don’t worry about the pastry department. Spend more time with your dad."

"Thank you, Boss Lin."

"No need to thank me. I didn’t expect things to turn out this way."

The original plan was to take it easy and guide the Yanjing Hotel’s kitchen onto the right track step by step using gentle means, just as positions opened up.

The feeling of accomplishing things and then stepping back is great, isn’t it?

Both face and success, and I officially got the Yanjing City residency.

But unexpectedly, I inadvertently hit the fast-track switch.

In just two days, the chaotic situation at Yanjing Hotel was resolved, and it incidentally contributed to diversifying the prisoner roles at Yanjing Prison.

Not to mention that Qi Zhentao couldn’t handle such a sudden change.

Lin Xu also found it a bit difficult to adapt.

Qi Siming took off his chef’s uniform, changed into his cycling outfit, slung a backpack over his shoulders, and, holding a skull-shaped helmet, bid everyone farewell before striding outside.

At this moment, Ye Lixin rushed in from outside, looking all flustered, probably caught off guard by this situation too.

"Mr. Ye, this is Cheng JianShe, the head chef from Building 2 of Fishing Platform, also the candidate I recommended."

Upon entering the restaurant’s private room, besides the braised goose feet, there were a few other stir-fry dishes, all of which Cheng JianShe had prepared using the available ingredients.

Since he was applying for the position of Executive Chef, naturally, he couldn’t just make half a dish.

He had to make a few more; this was both a sign of respect for the recruiter and for his own skills.

"Hello Chef Cheng, we seem to have met before, haven’t we? Earlier this year, when we went to Fishing Platform for a research visit, you were the one who explained the kitchen management overview to us."

When Ye Lixin saw Old Cheng, he found him familiar and after some serious thinking, remembered meeting him at Fishing Platform.

Since they’ve met before, it would be a lot easier.

Several department leaders of Yanjing Hotel chatted warmly with Cheng JianShe.

Right now, there was a need for a strong Executive Chef to boost the kitchen’s morale, quickly move past the shadow of the incident, and improve various promotion and job review systems in the kitchen.

And since Cheng JianShe had been following Xie Baomin for so many years, he was quite experienced in all aspects.

So, the two parties had a pleasant conversation.

While they were chatting, Lin Xu and Old Dai heartily feasted on the dishes on the table.

"This braised sauce is indeed something; Brother Lin’s skills are truly unmatched."

Dai Jianli picked up a goose foot with his chopsticks and placed it in his bowl, taking a bite from the webbed part first. That rich texture made one instinctively feel satisfied. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Goose feet are naturally gelatinous, and when coated with the sticky braised sauce, the gelatinous sensation is even more pronounced.

This kind of texture makes one fall in love instantly.

Lin Xu was also enjoying it to the fullest, thinking before eating that how could goose feet be comparable to bear paws—were they even in the same league?

But now...

Bear paws?

What bear paws?

This lifetime, I’m only eating goose feet!

Besides the delicious goose feet, the braised sauce also played a critical role, and the braised sauce at the bottom of the bowl wasn’t wasted either; mixed with rice, a big spoonful into the mouth.

The rich and fresh aroma and the sticky texture are a boon that rice-mixing enthusiasts cannot refuse.

One might say that every rice-mixing enthusiast should experience the joy of mixing rice with braised sauce at least once in their life—it’s an irreplaceably delicious sensation by any other sauce.

If you feel it’s too greasy, you can also pick some of the blanched broccoli in the bowl, dab it in the braised sauce, and take a bite.

Another unique enjoyment!

No wonder they say that braised sauce is the soul of high-end Cantonese cuisine; the texture and the taste truly make it irresistible.

Beside him, Gou Junguo saw that Ye Lixin had a good impression of Cheng JianShe and was about to cozy up but saw Lin Xu and Old Dai had eaten quite a few goose feet, losing the mood to cozy up.

Better eat first.

If I only eat one of these tempting goose feet, I’d be doing myself a disservice.

Like Lin Xu, one should take a few bites while the leaders chat.

After the meal, Cheng JianShe didn’t return to Fishing Platform but directly entered work mode. Lin Xu, as the Dining Department director, helped him get acquainted with the kitchen’s chefs while abolishing some previous systems.

Everything was moving in a positive direction.

By the time Lin Xu drove off in the evening, the kitchen’s chefs had already started enthusiastically welcoming Chef Cheng with open arms.

Back in the shop, Shu Yun and Zeng Xiaoqi were all huddled around Dundun at the service counter, chatting leisurely. Upon seeing Lin Xu, they immediately started chattering away:

"What happened at Yanjing Hotel?"

"I heard they caught several chefs, it was quite a scene."
