I've been possessed by a culinary genius, and I've turned Shaxian snacks into a rip-off!

After securing the customization rights, Yu Shen eagerly asked, "Boss, when will my customized dishes be served?"

"That depends on what kind of dishes you want to order. Do you have any ideas?" Li Zhibai asked.

Yu Shen thought for a moment and said, "I haven't decided yet. Give me a few days, and I'll go back and think about it carefully."

There was indeed a dish he really wanted to eat, but he couldn't remember its name; his memory of it was a bit hazy.

Li Zhibai: "No rush, take your time to think it over. The customization rights have no time limit. Come find me anytime you've decided."

"OK!"

"I'll be going now!"

Yu Shen let out a burp, rubbed his back, and walked out, leaving happily.

After all, he'll be someone who has his own special card for showing off from now on!

As the last customer left, the shop finally became completely quiet.

Su Su said while rubbing her aching wrist:

"Master, these past few days have been absolutely insane, I'm completely exhausted."

"You've worked hard, let me treat you to dinner."

"Thank you, Master!" Su Su instantly regained her energy.

The usual routine unfolded: Li Zhibai transferred money to Su Su, who then transferred it back without any change. The two of them then quietly enjoyed a late-night snack with a bowl of noodles and two stew pots.

Unfortunately, despite Li Zhibai's anticipation, Su Su still didn't drop any fragments.

If she can't gather all the fragments soon, she might not be able to make any new dishes for her birthday next month.

Looks like we need to think of a solution.

After seeing Su Su off, Li Zhibai sat behind the cashier and began to calculate the total bill for the past three days.

The first day's revenue was 11.

40 the next day.

32 million on the third day.

The total turnover for the three days was over 83 yuan.

"It's a pity it didn't break a million." Li Zhibai clicked his tongue, slightly disappointed.

His goal was to make a million in three days, but he ultimately failed.

But then he thought about it again. 83 in just 3 days was something he wouldn't have dared to dream of two months ago. Adding the savings he already had in his bank account, his total balance was back to over two million.

Two million or more, that sounds like a lot.

But don't forget, he still owes 6000 million.

They still need to work harder to rip off customers!

Just then, his phone suddenly vibrated; it was a video call from his mother.

Li Zhibai put away his greedy expression and answered the video call.

"son!"

"Mom, what's wrong?"

"Have you got a meal yet?"

"I've eaten. I just finished working."

"How's business since your shop reopened?"

"Not bad, I've made a little extra money these past few days."

"It's good that you've made money, but don't overwork yourself. Eat more, and remember to find another girlfriend."

Li Zhibai: "..."

So, Mom spent all that time building up to just say that last sentence, right?

"Oh, by the way, I have something to tell you. Your cousin and her college classmate are going to Jiangcheng for a couple of days during the National Day holiday. They might come to visit you then, so could you host them?"

Li Zhibai was immediately overwhelmed upon hearing this.

"Mom, I'm so busy during the National Day holiday, I don't have time to entertain them. Just let them go and have fun on their own. Aren't there enough attractions in Jiangcheng for them to see?"

"That's true, but since they've come all this way, as their cousin, you should at least show them some hospitality, right? Besides, your cousin and you've been such good friends since you were little. Have you forgotten how you used to steal the radishes she grew when you were a kid, and you got chased and bitten by a dog? In the end, she was the one who chased the dog away for you."

Li Zhibai: "..."

"Mom, it was clearly her who set the dog on me."

"I don't care, you have to treat them well now that they're here, you hear me!"

"Alright, alright, we'll talk about it when we get here."

Li Zhibai hung up the phone perfunctorily, completely forgetting what his mother had said.

The store was already busy during the National Day holiday, so there was no time to play with them!

………………

The next day was also the first day of the National Day holiday.

Today is a day of universal celebration, with the whole country rejoicing and red flags and people everywhere.

Li Zhibai also unusually chose not to open at night, and changed the business hours to noon instead.

After all, as a tourist city, Wuhan will have a lot of tourists during the National Day holiday. As one of the busiest business districts in Wuhan, Financial Street will also see a large influx of tourists.

Li Zhibai felt that since those tourists had finally taken a holiday to visit Jiangcheng, they should at least be allowed to try the local specialty, Shaxian snacks.

Otherwise, wouldn't our trip have been in vain?

However, he'll have to work a bit harder these next few days.

Because Su Su's shop was also very busy, she couldn't leave, so there was no one to help her, and no one had applied for the job posting she posted last time.

Li Zhibai finally posted a temporary job advertisement on the door as a temporary measure.

Just as the job posting was put up, Su Su sent him some good news.

[Master, the video of the Jiangcheng Master Chef Invitational Tournament has been updated!]

Li Zhibai's eyes lit up when he saw the news.

Since the end of the competition, he has been looking forward to this video every day. Now it's finally out, and he feels that with his performance, he will definitely become a sensation throughout Jiangcheng.

At that time, all those Michelin stars and Black Pearls will have to step aside for him!

Queues? Not a chance!

Everyone will have to make an appointment, and the waiting list will be for next month. You won't be allowed in unless you spend at least 10,000 yuan.

No, it should be raised to 20,000!

Li Zhibai became increasingly pleased with himself, his smile almost reaching his ears.

He then placed his phone on the cashier's counter, opened the video, and zoomed directly to the final match.

The video begins with the host's passionate narration.

"Welcome to the final of the Jiangcheng Master Chef Invitational Tournament! Three top chefs have gathered to compete for the final championship spot."

In the video, three chefs who made it to the finals stand in front of the stove, exuding confidence.

Li Zhibai, dressed in a pristine white chef's uniform, stood expressionless with his arms crossed, exuding the air of a master chef.

"Not bad, not bad." Li Zhibai nodded in satisfaction.

This shot, this angle, makes him look quite handsome.

I've got that feeling of being undefeated in solitude!

At this point, some viewers in the video's comment section also noticed him.

"I never expected that a Shaxian County boss would make it to the finals."

"Is this really the Shaxian snack I'm thinking of? Or is it the head chef of the Shaxian Grand Hotel?"

Something's fishy!

"......"

When Li Zhibai saw that someone actually questioned his abilities, he curled his lip in disdain.

Ignorant mortals, how dare you underestimate me, the god of Shaxian!

As expected, when he won the championship, the live chat was filled with "666".

After all, no one expected that the chef from Shaxian County would be able to crush everyone and win the championship in the end.

Just as Li Zhibai was looking forward to the final part where he would give his acceptance speech...

The art style has suddenly changed!

In the image, his upper body was photoshopped into a chef's uniform, and his lower abdomen and knees were blurred out with a mosaic.

The mosaic was applied so carelessly.

It wasn't the kind of blocky mosaic; it was a blurry, dynamic mosaic that swayed with the rhythm of his walking.

It was as if there was something indescribable moving in that place, and in the later stages, there was really no other way but to just cover it up haphazardly.

Li Zhibai: "???"

He broke down instantly.

"No way! What the hell was that bastard who did the post-production? This is some kind of blatant censorship, isn't it?!"

"What a tragedy!!!"
