Burning down my ex-husband's house! I won't raise these bastard children anymore

Lin Panpan and her team quickly arrived at the Ling family's house. The scale and grandeur of the Ling family were far beyond the reach of the Xing family. The kitchen alone was very spacious and grand.

Butler Ling smiled and said respectfully, "This is the kitchen. If you have any needs, please let us know. As long as we can do it, we will fully cooperate."

Lin Panpan nodded and responded, "Okay, you go to the front and greet the guests first, we will prepare the cold dishes right away."

As soon as Butler Ling left, Lin Panpan turned around and ordered the team with a firm look in her eyes: "Everyone, move quickly!"

Everyone responded quickly, and the sound of pots and pans colliding could be heard in the kitchen instantly.

For this birthday banquet, Lin Panpan plans to prepare eight cold dishes, twelve hot dishes and two vegetables.

The twelve hot dishes included blanched nine-segment shrimp, steamed grouper, charcoal-grilled lamb chops, braised king crab, steamed pigeon with lotus-flavored glutinous rice, stewed old hen with cordyceps flowers, and jade white jade lion's head...

The Ling family had invited many prominent figures. At the birthday banquet, everyone stared at the table full of dishes with their eyes wide open in shock, their faces filled with disbelief.

"Oh, this dish is so delicious! I've never seen anything so exquisite and delicious!" Someone couldn't help but exclaim.

Someone nearby immediately chimed in, "That's right! Our little place can actually make such amazing dishes, and even seafood!"

The big boss from the capital nodded slightly and praised:

"Your little place is truly home to hidden talents. The taste of this dish is truly exceptional.

My grandson, who is usually a picky eater, ate a lot today."

A young man in his twenties wearing glasses chimed in, "Indeed, this dish is just to my taste."

Master Ling, the head of the family, nodded in satisfaction and said, "As long as everyone is happy, that's fine. Invite today's chef over. I want to see who has such cooking skills."

After a while, Lin Panpan came over. Li Si looked at her with a half-smile: "So it's you."

Lin Panpan was also surprised: "Aren't you a doctor at the People's Hospital?"

Li Si nodded: "I didn't expect the head chef to be you. You're such a good cook. Aren't you the director of the Red Star Machinery Factory?"

Lin Panpan smiled and replied, "Being a factory director doesn't prevent me from preparing the feast! Are today's dishes to your liking?"

Li Si nodded quickly: "Of course it suits my taste, very good."

Master Ling smiled and winked. The butler beside him immediately understood. He held an exquisite red envelope in both hands and handed it to Lin Panpan respectfully, saying:

"Miss Lin, this is a small gift from our master, along with the money for this banquet.

Thank you so much, if it weren't for you, our master's birthday party today wouldn't be so successful."

Lin Panpan took it with a smile and said politely, "You're so kind. I'll go downstairs and make the cake."

Li Si beside him laughed and said, "You can also make cakes? You really can do anything!"

"Thank you for the compliment." Lin Panpan smiled faintly and walked towards the kitchen.

Li Si looked at Lin Panpan's back. Old Master Li coughed and asked, "Do you know this young lady?"

Li Si nodded and said, "I met him once before in the hospital."

"Well! The girl looks good. She is young, can cook, and can run a machinery factory. I just don't know what her family situation is like?" Grandpa Li said with a smile.

Butler Ling said, "This little girl has a miserable life. She married Zhou Jun, the nephew of the brigade secretary, and later divorced..."

Old Master Li frowned and said, "She's divorced? Tsk tsk tsk...that's a pity."

Li Si also frowned and lowered his head to take a sip of wine.

Lin Panpan was busy making a birthday cake. She first poured the flour into a large basin, then took out a bunch of eggs from the bamboo basket, cracked them on the edge of the basin with a "clack clack" sound, and the egg whites slid into the bowl.

She picked up a pair of chopsticks and began to stir the egg whites rapidly, finally beating them into a dense foam.

She added sifted flour, egg yolks, sugar and homemade lard to the egg whites in turn.

Then use a wooden spoon to stir gently, not moving too much, for fear of deflocking the beaten egg whites.

After a while, the batter becomes delicate and oily, exuding a faint egg aroma.

The batter is ready, and the next step is to bake it.

Lin Panpan asked someone to add a few more firewood to the earthen stove. When the fire became stronger, she placed a large iron pot steadily on the stove.

Every few minutes, he would stretch out his hands and laboriously turn the iron pan to ensure that the cake was heated evenly.

After an unknown amount of time, a rich sweet fragrance came out of the pot. Lin Panpan immediately opened the lid, and golden, slightly raised cakes appeared before her eyes.

She simply turned the cake upside down on the chopping board. Old Madam Yu laughed and said, "Where did you learn this from? You actually managed to make it. I wonder how this cake tastes."

Lin Panpan smiled and said, "Of course it smells good. I made an extra one. Let's try it later."

Lin Panpan spread the cream evenly on the cake and wrote the four big words "Happy Birthday" on the cake.

Finally, pick up the strawberries and gently place them on the cake.

Old Master Lin sat in the main seat, looking at the strange-looking, sweet-smelling thing in front of him with a puzzled look on his face. He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "What the hell is this? I've lived for most of my life, and I've never seen anything like it before."

Li Si, who was standing by, adjusted his glasses, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and explained:

"Master Lin, this is a cake that was brought in from abroad.

I had the opportunity to try it once when I was abroad. The cooking method was novel and the taste was unique. Today we are in for a treat. Let’s try it and see how it tastes.”

As he spoke, he picked up a knife, gently cut off a piece of cake, put it in his mouth, and the sweetness of the cream instantly melted on his tongue.

The soft cake base has a hint of egg fragrance, which goes perfectly with the sweet and sour strawberries.

Li Si smiled and said, "This is more delicious than the cakes I ate abroad."

Mr. Ling was very satisfied with today's birthday banquet, and Lin Panpan was also very satisfied with Mr. Lin's work.

Only after she finished making the cake did she have time to take out everything inside, and there were ten gold bars.

She was quite satisfied with the compensation this time.

Lin Panpan was also hungry. She was eating when she saw Li Si stride in and said, "Why are you only eating now?"

Lin Panpan looked at him while eating and asked, "Doctor Li, is there anything I can help you with?"

Li Si had a warm smile on his face. "Miss Lin, I have a business deal. Are you interested?"

Lin Panpan replied calmly, "Doctor Li, you're too polite. Just tell me what business you're in."

Li Si leaned forward slightly and said excitedly:

“To be honest, the food in our hospital is really not satisfactory and everyone is complaining about it.

I was thinking, since you are such a good cook, would you be willing to deliver meals to the hospital every day?

This is a long-term business, and we can sign a contract."

Lin Panpan raised her eyebrows slightly: "Doctor Li, this is no small matter. Can you make the decision?"

Li Si laughed heartily: "This hospital is our family's property. Do you think I can make the decision?"
