“I smell delicious, you’re the one who stinks!” Yu Antong whined and pinched Xing Lixuan’s face, “Smelly husband.”
Concerned about Yu Antong’s pregnancy, the two of them usually had sex only on weekends.
A few days later, on a Saturday night, Yu Antong pestered Xing Lixuan and went to bed later than usual. Yu Antong hugged Xing Lixuan tight, and just as he was about to fall asleep, his phone rang, waking both of them up.
Yu Antong rubbed his eyes as he turned over. He turned on the bedside lamp and muttered, “Who called this late? Husband, help me get the phone.”
The phone was placed on Xing Lixuan’s bedside table, and Xing Lixuan glanced at the caller ID. “It’s Han Lele.”
As soon as the phone was connected, Han Lele’s excited voice came, “Tongtong, have you watched ]God of Chefs!’? I’m dying of laughter! The show planner and editor are really masters, they made the show so interesting.”
“The show is on the air?” Yu Antong rubbed his head, wondering if he had misremembered the broadcast date. “So soon, didn’t it say it will be broadcast next weekend?”
“Ah, I forgot to tell you, the TV station has adjusted its schedule and aired it a week earlier,” Han Lele explained, “I’ve been so busy recently thanks to the rescheduling that I forgot to tell you about this.”
“But it’s worth making me busy. The edited version of the show is really funny and interesting,” Han Lele kept talking, “It’s already finished airing on TV. You can watch it after paying for the re-broadcast airing on the Lemon Video App. Go watch it soon.”
Yu Antong yawned. “Okay, I’ll go back and look for it.”
Only then did Han Lele heard Yu Antong’s drowsiness. “Did I disturb your sleep? It’s only ten o’clock. Why do you go to bed so early?”
Generally, young people their age go to bed much later. Ten o’clock was considered the beginning of the night, so Han Lele excitedly called Yu Antong after watching the show, wanting to have a discussion with him. He didn’t expect to disturb Yu Antong’s sleep.
Yu Antong said very frankly, “I’m pregnant, and I’m raising a baby, so I have to make sure I get enough sleep.”
Yu Antong was too frank, because he knew that no one would believe what he said, so he said it without any pressure.
“Hahaha, your reason is too fantastical,” Han Lele laughed, obviously not believing it at all, “It must be because of your family’s Criminal Chief, who has a very regular work and rest schedule. He must’ve forced you to go to bed early and get up early. Didn’t my guess hit the bullseye?”
“Sure enough, unmarried people are more free. I can freely stay up late every day to play games without anyone nagging me. Are you envious? Do you suddenly feel that it is not good to get married so early?”
Yu Antong: “…”
‘As if I’m envious of you Han Lele, a pitiful zero who didn’t get his daily dose of dick.’
But Yu Antong wasn’t that vulgar in front of Han Lele. He instead said, “Did you forget that he was lying next to me? He could hear our conversation clearly.”
“Uh!” Han Lele suddenly fell silent, and after a pause of a few seconds, he spoke quickly, “Tongtong, go to bed early, ah! Go to bed early and get up early to be healthy. I will learn from you in the future and develop good living habits. I will not continue disturbing your sleeping time with President Xing. I’ll hang up first, bye-bye!!”
After Han Lele quickly hung up, Yu Antong cackled freely. He then opened the Lemon Video App. and found “Here Comes the God of Chefs!” show to watch. He said to Xing Lixuan, “Haha! Han Lele is so afraid of you!”
In the next second, Yu Antong’s cell phone was taken away, and was promptly confiscated by Xing Lixuan. “Sleep first, you can watch it tomorrow.”
Yu Antong had no objection. Each episode was at least one hour, and by then, it would be too late for him to sleep.
The next morning, Yu Antong dragged Xing Lixuan to watch the show together. He turned on the computer, and just after opening Lemon Video’s homepage, the variety show was among the recommended shows on the main page!
Yu Antong clicked on it. First, there was a magnificent opening scene. At the very beginning, it was a scene of pure white. With a sound of “tick!“, a drop of water from a melted glacial dripped on the ice surface, melting a large area of ice and snow. Then, that small drop of water turned into a big gurgling stream.
With atmospheric music as the BGM, the camera moved quickly to follow the stream’s flow. It went to the green rice fields, wheat fields, and fruit forests at the foot of the mountain. The speed of the video gradually slowed down, and the rhythm of the music also eased. Then, the screen was filled with a speed-up of plants growing, until it bore fruit. It also followed a herd of cattle, from its infancy until its adulthood.
All kinds of ingredients were bought by many customers in a shopping trolley full of them. They hurried home, then made a table of sumptuous meals from them.
The camera changed its course in a blur, shooting a fervent flame burning, and finally changed into the title of the show, with a chef’s hat on top of the word “God”.
“This title introduction is quite imposing.”
Water is what all living things depend on for their growth and development. A drop of water led to the natural growth of all things in the opening title, and the growth process of many ingredients was played quickly, and then they transformed into hot and delicious meals on the table. The final firelight design was also very eye-catching.
It was a very well-produced opening title with the atmosphere of human fireworks in the magnificent atmosphere. It’s a bit too long, though.
Yu Antong was a little surprised. After all, the crew looked so unreliable during the recording. Even though he personally participated in the recording of the program, the title made Yu Antong realize that watching the edited program might give him a completely different feeling from the live recording.
Yu Antong opened the barrage. But the show has only been broadcast for a short time, plus it’s not a big variety show, so there were not many comments.
[The title opening is like this, huh?]
[This feels like watching a large-scale food series documentary.]
[There are too few food variety shows in China. Let’s support this one.]
[Oh, I like the atmosphere! It feels like a very hardcore competition show!]
The main course had started. In the video, a camera from above swept over the contestants who signed up for the competition. Yu Antong saw the flower-patterned jacket lady who was chatting with him showing her skillful handkerchief twisting skills in front of the camera.
“Hahaha!” Yu Antong even saw it live, but when he saw this absurd scene again, he still couldn’t help laughing. He smiled and observed Xing Lixuan’s expression.
He saw Xing Lixuan frowning even deeper. “What’s going on? Isn’t it a cooking competition?”
“Didn’t I tell you the day I went home?” Yu Antong smiled and continued, “How about it, isn’t it really weird?”
Xing Lixuan replied, “I thought you were exaggerating a lot of things. I didn’t expect that you were faithfully recounting it.”
The number of barrages gradually increased, but it seemed that the majority of netizens were puzzled by the same thing as Xing Lixuan. Their comments were a bunch of question marks, all filling the screen and flying past by.
[???]
[What am I watching??]
[RoyalDoubts.jpg]
[I exited to reread the name of the show. This is a gourmet show. At least it should be??]
[The style of the show is a bit wrong?]
[Exiting to reread the show’s name +1]
[+2]
[Today, I, Zhao Si, want to see what the hell this show is going to do!]
[I, Liu Neng, won’t drop by anymore, I want to see what medicine this show is peddling1this is just slang. today!]
Yu Antong was so amused by the netizens’ comment. He laughed so hard at them.
[The xiao gege who plays basketball is very handsome, I hope he will advance to the next challenge]
[My sister, please wake up. This is not an idol survival show.]
[I was woken up by the barrage. I thought the young lady in red sang pretty well, and wanted to vote for her, but suddenly realized that this is a gourmet show! This show is poisonous2a slang for something so absurd yet so mesmerizing., too magical!]
[My mother asked me what show I was watching, and she laughed like a fool at me. I didn’t know how to answer]
[Suspecting that you are spying on my life. My mother also asked me, but I didn’t know how to answer, so I just smiled.]
[I thought it was a serious competition, I didn’t expect it to be this hilarious.]
[Hahaha, it’s okay to pat cucumbers!]
[Patting cucumbers is not considered a knife technique? I don’t agree!]
[What’s the use of so many cutting skills? They can’t be used in real life at all.]
Yu Antong watched the barrage all the way and laughed non-stop. Afterwards, one after another, some contestants prepared dishes and presented them to the judges. Those who cooked quickly had all kinds of dishes, and one of them used many vegetables and served them mostly raw with a bit of salad dressing.
For that dish, Qing Nian graded it as such: “The taste is not bad, but you can’t count it as a dish. You failed.”
[The little chubby guy’s cold cucumber salad is considered a dish, why is this vegetable salad not counted?]
In the show, as soon as the contestant dressed as Bai Suzhen3from the “Legend of the White Snake”. A very popular mythos from China. appeared on the stage, the camera scanned the judges’ seats and gave all the judges a close-up of their reaction. All the judges’ eyes widened in surprise, as if they did not expect such a contestant at all to come to a cooking competition.
“Why do you use this look to participate in the show?” Shen Yuexin smiled and asked the Bai Suzhen contestant. “Wouldn’t you stain your sleeves if you dress like this?”
“Bai Suzhen at the foot of Mount Qingcheng~” The contestant sang with a smile, and then continued, “My family lives in Mount Qingcheng, and my name is Bai Suzhen. I think I have an indissoluble bond with Lady Bai, so I will dress like this today. Alright, for today, I brought you this song…”
Qing Ning laughed so much that she bent down and leaned on the table in front of her, pounding it.
Jiang Liushen, who was sitting in the middle, was also full of smiles. “There is no need for you to sing. Please serve your dish.”
“Okay,” The contestant opened her tray with regret on her face, “I cooked a stewed eel.”
[Hahaha, Lady Bai might not want to form an indissoluble bond with you.]
[I thought you cooked snake soup. Shuzhen, you are still not cruel enough to yourself!]
[Wouldn’t Bai Suzhen cooking snake soup be considered cannibalism, though?]
Sun Ming commented very professionally. “It’s too salty. The eel’s fishy smell is too pungent, the cooking time is too long. I’m sorry, I have to fail you.”
