I just like eating papayas; why does it always lead to such wild assumptions?

As she muttered to herself, she glanced at Shen Baobao's figure and whispered, But... compared to a 34E, mine still isn't perfect...

Finally, the filming for this lovey-dovey special episode was completed.

Chen Yan turned off the camera and immediately started eating the Watermelon Curd Lin Xu had served her. "Wow, this is really delicious! Brother-in-law, I remember the Watermelon Curd I ate when I was young had a minty taste. How do you make that?"

Lin Xu explained, "You just replace the Crystal Sugar Water with brown sugar water. That sugar, when boiled down, produces a mint flavor and gives a stronger cooling sensation. I couldn't find any brown sugar just now, so I used Crystal Sugar instead."

Oh... so that's how it is.

Having fully understood, Chen Yan planned to embark on her own gourmet journey as soon as she finished eating, determined to try making every fruit curd she craved!

While she was lost in thought, Lin Xu, who was beside her, spoke up. "The Travel Channel is looking for a cultural celebrity to create a calligraphic title for their upcoming food program. They can't afford to pay, so they're only offering program resources in exchange. I'm planning to ask Lele's grandfather to help with the calligraphy. Contact Zhen Wensheng in a bit and try to negotiate for more benefits."

If it weren't for that task of hosting an All Crocodile Banquet, there'd be no need to go to all this trouble. But since the task exists, I might as well do it properly. Besides, it's quite easy to ask Geng Lishan for calligraphy; the man would most likely not refuse if I, Lin Xu, personally asked. My worry isn't about Geng Lishan refusing, but about what to offer him in return. Gifting food is a given, as it's the very bond between us. But beyond that, a proper fee for the calligraphy is necessary. This is a commercial engagement, after all, and needs to be accounted for fairly; I can't just expect free work.

As soon as Chen Yan heard there was serious business to attend to, she immediately said, "I'll contact Zhen Wensheng right now and try to negotiate the best possible deal for you."

After speaking, she quickly finished the Watermelon Curd in her bowl, then took out her phone to contact Zhen Wensheng.

With nothing else to do, Lin Xu tidied up the filming equipment. He took the camera's memory card upstairs, copied the recorded video onto his computer, did some quick edits with video software, and then uploaded it to the short video platform.

The video's title was quite appealing: "This Simple Summer Dessert Can Truly Be Made by Anyone with Hands!"

Whenever he posted cooking videos in the past, netizens would find all sorts of reasons to be 'discouraged' from trying. They'd be 'discouraged' by the Knife Skills, the amount of oil, the cilantro, the green onions, the lard, the sugar caramelization... Lin Xu chuckled, wondering if this new video would add 'discouraged by PDA' to the list.

He closed his computer and went to the kitchen to make Tomato Beef Brisket with Hand-pulled Noodles.

Soon, the video passed its review and appeared in the update list.

"Wow, I was just telling my friend that today's update might be delayed, and here it is!"

"It's here, it's here! The update has arrived!"

"I love Boss Lin's videos the most; I can't learn a single dish he teaches."

"I've been wanting to learn a dessert recipe lately, and I can't believe Boss Lin just uploaded a related video! Do you think he has a crush on me?"

"Why is the boss's wife on the thumbnail?"

"For those who've watched it, how high is the sugar content in this video? Will watching it give me diabetes?"

"Just from this cover, I'm bracing myself for all the 'dog food'."

"Done with the like, save, and share! My friends also need to experience this online 'dog food' feeding."

"..."

Seeing the boss's wife on the thumbnail, everyone instinctively guessed there would be some sweet moments and mentally prepared themselves for the public displays of affection.

But upon clicking the video, they were taken aback.

This wasn't just a sprinkle; they were shoveling 'dog food' down our throats from start to finish!

In the comments section, netizens were universally outraged.

EatingNoodlesWithoutGarlicIsLikeNotEatingGarlicAtAll: It was 'dog food' from beginning to end! I don't even know what dessert they actually made.

200 Pound Cutie: After watching, I measured my blood sugar—it's 36.6! You two need to tell me how you're going to compensate me.

BigPorkyHeadUnderTheWillowInTheMoon: Upstairs, did you measure your blood sugar with a thermometer?

IAmACadillacOwnerAndILikeFootMassages: That was so cloyingly sweet, it made me sick! I need to find a place for a foot massage. Any other Cadillac owners want to join?

LinDaiyuUprootsAWeepingWillow: @[Boss Lin's Channel] Hey, I'm the 'Weeping Willow' part of the legend! Make some of that for me to try when you're free. Dare to refuse, and I'll beat you up!

ProAFKer6: If I'm not mistaken, that big kitchen belongs to the boss's wife, right? It feels like what's being made isn't Watermelon Curd, but Lemon Curd.

Nine Billion Girls' Nightmare: Thanks, Boss Lin, for teaching me how to make this delicious 'dog food' curd!

「In the kitchen.」

Lin Xu had finished kneading the dough, and Shen Baobao had also completed the bitter melon curd she had been working on for half the day.

Meanwhile, Chen Yan had finished her communication with Zhen Wensheng.

"It's all settled," she announced. "Three months of title sponsorship for the food program, a special food interview episode of no less than forty minutes, plus several rolling advertisements and related soft advertising. Basically, I secured every benefit possible."

Three months of title sponsorship? His sister-in-law was truly skilled at business negotiations. If it had been him, he'd likely have softened up the moment the other party started pleading poverty. For similar matters in the future, he'd definitely need to rely on his sister-in-law.

Lin Xu was very pleased. He had initially thought that occasional appearances on such food programs would be enough. But with a three-month title sponsorship, Lin Ji's Food would now dominate their culinary showcases.

This would not only allow them to showcase the wide array of culinary delights from Lin Ji's Food. It would also give Wei Qian, Zhu Yong, Qin Wei, Zhuang Yifan, and others television exposure, boosting their reputations and simultaneously demonstrating the depth of talent at Lin Ji's Food.
