Simply unimaginable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s delicious, truly delicious!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It looks like plain water, but who knew it could taste so rich.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This culinary skill is just amazing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon after, Lin Xu’s White Jade Lotus Root Strips were also served.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This prompted yet another wave of amazement from the relatives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mrs. Shen was particularly satisfied with Lin Xu’s cooking skills and said cheerfully to Mrs. Han, \"Congratulations on having such an excellent grandson-in-law.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mrs. Han returned the compliment in kind, \"Congratulations to you too for having such a wonderful grandson-in-law!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While the two elderly ladies were enjoying themselves, the Giant Grouper dishes began to arrive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Braised Fish Lips, Salt and Pepper Fish Segments, Stir-Fried Fish Fillet, Crispy Fried Fish Intestines, Garlic-Exploded Fish Liver, Dry-Fried Fish Belly, Stewed Fish Backbone, Clear Soup Fish Balls, Steamed Fish Belly, Black Bean Sauce Fish Tail, Crispy Fried Fish Fillet...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A single fish was transformed into twenty or thirty different dishes, each portioned onto four plates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With over a hundred dishes now served, the table finally looked bountiful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By this time, Xie Baomin and the others, having finished their work, also came in. Xie Baomin first made a round of toasts to everyone before taking his seat to eat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The executive chef of Fishing Platform had personally cooked and then went around offering toasts with a wine glass. This made Shen Guofu’s relatives all the more satisfied with Lin Xu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether Lin Xu was wealthy was, for the moment, beside the point. Such connections and networking alone set him far apart from ordinary people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And let’s not forget, in the corner sat a renowned calligrapher, currently vying with his granddaughter for food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the Shen Family had many wealthy relatives, not a single one of them could have invited such a calligrapher to this kind of event.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before their arrival, Shen Guofu had repeatedly warned his relatives not to look down on the Lin Family for being poor or for not being locals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could we dare look down on them? It’s good enough that *we* aren’t the ones being looked down upon!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xu, holding his chopsticks, tried each dish one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It must be said, buying a Giant Grouper for such a banquet was quite a good deal. The creature was meaty all over, and one large Giant Grouper easily yielded over a hundred dishes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And each part tasted completely different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Fish Intestines were crisp, the Fish Liver delicate, the belly meat rich, and the Fish Fillet juicy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they were eating, Chen Meijuan took out a few jewelry boxes from her bag and handed them to Shen Baobao, \"Yueyue, according to the customs back in our hometown, the engagement requires the giving of ’three golds.’ I took some time to buy these for you the day before yesterday. Try them on and see what you think.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Beijing, an engagement simply meant the two families having a meal together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, in the Central Plains, there was a tradition where the groom’s family gave the bride three pieces of gold jewelry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Shen Guofu had previously declined, Chen Meijuan was resolute. Other daughters-in-law received such gifts, so her own perfect daughter-in-law, Shen Baobao, absolutely had to have them too—and hers had to be even better!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Baobao hadn’t expected to receive three gold gifts in addition to red envelopes for her engagement. She quickly thanked Chen Meijuan and happily opened the jewelry boxes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first box contained a platinum necklace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A diamond was embedded in the four-leaf clover pendant, sparkling under the light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wow, it’s so beautiful! I love it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying that, Shen Baobao swiftly put it around her neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After putting it on, she checked her reflection using her phone’s front camera.It really looked beautiful!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second jewelry box contained a charming platinum bracelet, encircled with a row of small diamonds, equally sparkling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Baobao unceremoniously slipped it onto her wrist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After taking a few photos of her fair wrist with her phone, she opened the third jewelry box.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside was a pair of platinum diamond rings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Perfect, one for each of us,\"Shen Baobao thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She slid the ring onto her left ring finger. It was a perfect fit and matched the bracelet beautifully.Her mother-in-law had great taste in picking jewelry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once her ring was on, she urged Lin Xu to put on his.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After they both wore their rings, they put their hands together, showing off both rings, and then took a photo to post under the Lin Ji’s Food online topic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We got engaged today! Can we get some blessings?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No sooner had they posted it than comments began flooding in:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wishing you a harmonious union for a hundred years!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wishing you grow old together!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wishing you everlasting love!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wishing you a joyful and content life!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have five kids!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have six kids!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have seven kids!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Shen Baobao was busy liking the netizens’ comments, Lin Xu, led by Shen Guofu, began toasting the relatives, wine glass in hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The relatives, in turn, toasted them back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The atmosphere was very harmonious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「After the meal.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Waitstaff entered in single file, cleared the table of dishes and drinks, and then served everyone a specially supplied internal tea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The relatives chatted for a while longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, they rose and prepared to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, as they were leaving the private room, they found a pile of parting gifts at the doorway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The front desk manager of Building Number Ten and several waitstaff were responsible for distributing them; every guest, adult and child alike, received one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These parting gifts are usually reserved for foreign heads of state or leaders who have stayed here; you can’t buy them outside,\" Xie Baomin explained. \"Thank you all again for attending my junior’s engagement banquet. This is just a small token of our appreciation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dai Jianli also meticulously explained the differences between the various parting gifts, allowing everyone to choose for themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This gesture thoroughly impressed the Shen Family’s relatives.\u003C\u002Fp>",1060,"2026-06-06T10:24:33.530Z",1,"novelbin.me","f81f6c6827c61da9290497ee3f29bf92cc88017545fcac1486118cc4a484409e","i-m-the-culinary-god-chapter-325","i-m-the-culinary-god-chapter-323",1043,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-the-culinary-god-cover.jpg"]
