“What are you doing? Watch the variety show well,” Yu Antong smiled and beat Lixuan. Why is he being jealous for!
[Seeing what you said, I went back and rewatched it. Ah, I’m dying!!]
[Rewatching +1]
[I unilaterally declare that I am in love!]
[I declare that he is my wife!]
[Who dares to rob me of my wife? Let’s duel it out!]
Yu Antong’s shots had passed, but the barrages were still discussing him.
Xing Lixuan frowned even deeper. “Turn off the barrage.” Nowadays, people are really shameless online. They can call anyone as they like.
Yu Antong coaxed him with a smile. “I already have a child, they have no chance.”
“Don’t pay attention to these things,” Yu Antong continued, “The current Internet atmosphere is like this. When they see good-looking people, they call them their ‘husbands’ and ‘wives’. There’s no deep reason for it.”
–The thing is, Yu Antong knew about this culture very well. In his super-secret-side account, he also commented on many of Gu Xingyan’s handsome pictures. He also shamelessly calls him “husband”.
Xing Lixuan must never know of this.
“The group that made beef noodles just now, didn’t the netizens call them their ‘husbands’ too?”
The leader of that group from Shancheng was a young man named Fu Fengxing. He wore a tank top underneath his black chef uniform, and he had a tough feature. Someone joked that he didn’t need to add beef to his beef noodles, as he was beefy enough to compensate for it.
While continuing to watch, Yu Antong said narcissistically, “For a good-looking person like me, it’s actually abnormal if no-one calls me ‘husband’. Let me tell you, Xing Lixuan, that marrying me is a blessing you have cultivated in eight lifetimes. You made a lot of money.”
Xing Lixuan kissed his upturned cheek and said with a smile, “No one praises themselves like you do.”
–However, marrying Yu Antong is indeed the most correct decision he has ever made.
“What do you mean by praising myself?” Yu Antong was full of pride. If he had a tail, that tail would be high up in the sky now. “I’m just telling the truth, okay?”
“Huh?” Yu Antong noticed the brief introduction of a contestant who appeared later. “Baifang House?”
Yu Antong rewound the video for a few seconds and paused at the contestant’s personal introduction. He read it correctly, it said that this middle-aged man was Yu Xingmin, the chef of Baifang House.
Yu Antong wondered, “Isn’t Baifang House owned by my uncle Yu Qingnian? I didn’t expect them to send someone to participate in this show. It seems that I stole his limelight.”
Yu Xingmin also cooked a dish with a relatively complicated process. Obviously, like them, he planned to awe the audience.
“My dish is Huaiyang cuisine’s famous Ruandou Eel1Huiyang cuisine is famous for its eels. Ruandou Eel is 软兜长鱼; this dish→
,” Yu Xingmin said confidently, “I guarantee that it tastes extremely delicious and will satisfy the five judges.”
Qing Nian smelled it before tasting it, “There is no fishy smell, which means the fish was handled very well. The meat is firm and delicious, and I like it very much.”
Sun Ming: “The sauce blends perfectly to suit the eel’s meat. The only fly in the ointment2a flaw is that the texture is too thick, and it looks like fish jelly, which affects the aesthetics.”
“I’ll pay attention to it in the future,” Yu Xingmin pursed his lips, and nodded to accept the judges’ opinion. This task to participate was assigned to him by Yu Qingnian, and for this dish, he was indeed a bit lacking.
“As you said, it is indeed very fresh and tender,” Jiang Liushen nodded after tasting it. He continued to explain his stance in an objective manner, “This swamp-eel has a thin skin, and it is commonly known as pale green eel3笔杆青; It’s more like… a specific shade of blue-green, kinda pale jade-green commonly found in pens. And no, I don’t know what kind of eel this is. The swamp-eel itself is not a true eel, and it has the scientific name of Monopterus albus.. For a fish this size, this means it’s at an age when its meat was the softest. With the right method, its characteristics of freshness and tenderness can be highlighted.”
Later, he added, “If you select a swamp-eel that is too big, it means that it will be too old. Its muscle fibers have aged and the taste is poor. However, if it’s too small, the meat yield will be too low and it will easily fall apart.”
Shen Yuexin asked “Is this also an eel? I’m a little afraid to eat it.”
The barrages were filled with people criticizing her.
[Please, be more professional. You’re a judge of a cooking competition.]
[That’s right, the braised eel that Bai Suzhen made before isn’t tasty, but other judges tasted it regardless. This uncle’s dish is looking good, there’s no justification for you not to taste it.]
[Yuexin is afraid of long animals, don’t scold her.]
[Speaking of which, I dare not eat eel.]
[It’s a bit rude. This is our Huaiyang famous dish, what’s so scary?]
[The eel meat is delicious when done well, but it will be particularly fishy if it is not done well. It is a dish that requires high cooking skills.]
Jia Sibo finished tasting first, and persuaded Shen Yuexin, “It’s very delicious, you will definitely want to eat it again after you try it.”
Shen Yuexin was scared to eat it. But after being encouraged, she tried it and gave a serious evaluation.
[I don’t understand why a gourmet show would invite a celebrity as a judge!]
[Can she at least act well?]
[She came to the variety show because she’s bad at acting, hehe. (doge.jpg)]
[Stop scolding, she ate it in the end.]
[Everyone has something to fear, there is no need to attack others because of this.]
[Since she is here to be a food judge, she should be more dedicated to her work though.]
[What Huaiyang famous dish? Just looking at it makes you lose your appetite!]
[I am from Huaiyang, and I dare not eat this dish to be honest.]
Xing Lixuan paid attention to Yu Qingnian because of Yu Antong. He commented, “The business of Baifang House is sluggish, I guess Yu Qingnian wants to use this program as a marketing opportunity.”
Yu Antong also thought of this. “This chef still has some skills, but it’s a pity that his thinking when cooking is wrong.”
The taste of Ruandou Eel can really catch people’s taste buds, but the appearance was not very good. Many people were afraid of long soft-bodied animals, like Shen Yuexin. So for the audience, who could only see it, they wouldn’t instantly be awed of it.
Yu Xingmin only wanted to win in terms of taste and made all the judges admire him. Unfortunately, he forgot that this was a food variety show. Although the theme was food, it was still a variety show. The most intuitive feeling for the audience was not the taste, but the appearance.
The appearance of the food was what the audience can feel and impress them the most. It was not an exaggeration to say that if a dish looks good, they could imagine the deliciousness that makes them drool.
In short, compared to Yu Antong, he lost.
“We have finished tasting the dishes of the last contestant in this round. A total of 24 groups of contestants have successfully won the favor of the judges and have the opportunity to enter the next competition.”
The host added, “For the contestants who passed, don’t be over-proud! There are still more severe challenges waiting for you!”
After watching this episode, Yu Antong roughly counted. About 10 of the 24 groups were relatively strong, but he couldn’t be 100% sure. After all, he didn’t watch the other party cook with his own eyes. He only watched the edited version.
Yu Antong sent a message to Han Lele.
<Yu Antong>: I’ve finished watching the show. It’s really good, I laughed all the way to the end! Very interesting~
Han Lele replied to him shortly after.
<Han Lele>: Didn’t I tell you? The planning of this program is worthwhile.
<Han Lele>: You can take a look at Weibo, the program team bought a hot search.
<Han Lele>: But I heard from the publicity department that the responses far exceeded their expectations.
Han Lele’s company’s publicity department bought hot searches to advertise this show, which attracted some viewers. However, the quality of the show itself is still up to par. Otherwise, no matter how many hot searches they bought, it would be useless. In fact, it would backfire instead, as the netizens would feel tricked.
<Yu Antong>: I’ll go and have a look, let’s not talk for now.
Yu Antong opened the Weibo search page, and saw the first trending topic: The most hilarious food variety show. It even has the “Boiling!” tag on it.
He clicked it, and there were several popular food bloggers with millions of fans that sold the Amway4Slang for enthusiastically promoting something. Yes, it’s referring to Amway, the MLM company. of “God of Chefs!”
<Foodie Welfare> V: A rare gourmet variety show in China, let’s watch and cherish it.
<Crazy Gourmet> V: This hardcore gourmet variety show keeps surprising me. It’s more interesting than chasing dramas. Come and watch it.
In a post there were pictures of several good-looking chefs in the show.
<Xiao Wang Cooks> V: I rushed to watch it, and finally became obsessed with the looks of my xiao geges and couldn’t extricate myself. So, I directly uploaded the pictures here~ (Photo) x9.
<Cuckoo Fish>: I died laughing at this show, go watch it.
<Jackfruit>: At first I thought it was a serious cooking competition, but I was shaken when I watched the beginning. When I thought this was a breezy comedy variety show, the serious competition started. In short, this is a very magical variety show.
<Sydney Rock Sugar>: There are several handsome guys in it. Sisters, go to see it, it’s not a loss!
<Fairy Water>: The second xiao gege! He’s so handsome, ah!
<Xiao Zhao, Who Loves to Eat Meat>: I stumbled across it by accident last night, and stopped to look at it because of the beauty of this xiao gege. But I couldn’t stop seeing it, and in the end, I was so hungry that I cried!
<Xiao Yu Xiao Yu Doesn’t Eat Fish>: Sisters, let’s shake hands in solidarity. Let’s cry together! I don’t want to order takeaway at night, so I cooked a bowl of instant noodles to satiate myself TT_TT
<Lemon Tea>: Very good, the only drawback is that there’s not enough episodes to watch! Hurry up and release the next issue of “God of Chefs!”
<Favorite Pork Chop Rice>: Huh ~ Watching the show, the pork chop rice in my hand suddenly tastes bad.
<Hamster Eating Melon Seeds>: Finally! I have a new show to watch during my lunch!
<Braised Pig Trotter>: Thanks to this show for showing me the way forward when I don’t know what to have for lunch.
<Stewed Goose in Iron Pot>: Friends who don’t know what to eat, go to Immortal’s Banquet! Every dish is guaranteed to be delicious.
<Yuxiang Shredded Pork>: There is already a queue for Immortal’s Banquet, I hate it! In the past, there were a lot of people, but once this show was broadcast, the number of people queuing up skyrocketed again! (Photo)
<Grumpy Auntie>: Immortal’s Banquet, why are you joining in the fun? If you have the ability to be on the show, if you have the ability to open more branches!
<Yuxiang Eggplant>: Upstairs, I am also in line. Looking at the pictures, I should be in the same store as you, the one on Fenghuang Street. We are so destined to have a similar ID. Do you want to make an appointment for a meal? I’m the only one in purple, easy to recognize.
<I Shouldn’t be in The Car>: Hahaha, can I become a sand sculpture netizen noodle after a meal?
<Yuxiang Shredded Pork>: Yes, face-to-face was successful, I checked my eyes, and met the right person!
<Yuxiang Eggplant>: The young lady is so beautiful, I’m too embarrassed to boast about it in real life. Let me express my love for Yuxiang Shredded Pork on the Internet.
<Five Small Balls in One Bite>: So jealous! Why do other people always meet the right person when you go out for a meal?
<Udon Noodles>: The new feature of queuing for Immortal’s Banquet, let’s find out about making friends online.
Yu Antong was also shocked, he didn’t expect the effect to be this good. This means that the opening of a new branch must be arranged as soon as possible.
Auntie finished stewing the corn rib soup, and came over to ask Yu Antong, “The rib soup is ready, would you like to eat it now?”
“I’ll eat it now,” Yu Antong pushed Xing Lixuan, ordering him very easily, “Bring it here for me.”
The Auntie said, “I’ll do it instead.”
Auntie served Yu Antong a bowl, and Yu Antong was absent-mindedly drinking one spoonful after another as he calculated his current bills.
‘Well……’
After thinking for a long time, Yu Antong had to accept the reality that he had reinvested all the money he earned, and there was no capital left to open a branch.
Xing Lixuan supervised Yu Antong, who looked dazed as he ate. “What are you thinking? Eat the meat.”
“Clang!“
As soon as Xing Lixuan finished speaking, Yu Antong didn’t hold the spoon properly and dropped it on the carpet.
“Ah! It’s gone,” Yu Antong raised his head and looked at Xing Lixuan innocently.
Xing Lixuan pinched Yu Antong’s cheek, and tugged it. “Are you three years old this year? Even toddlers know how to use a spoon better than you.”
Yu Antong argued, “I was thinking about something just now.”
Xing Lixuan let him go, picked up the spoon on the ground and took it to the kitchen to rinse it.
Yu Antong’s gaze followed Xing Lixuan, and suddenly remembered that he has a rich husband!
He can be regarded as someone who married into a wealthy family! He almost forgot this.
“Husband~” Yu Antong knelt on the sofa, and when Xing Lixuan came from the kitchen, he smiled sweetly at Xing Lixuan, with a flattering look on his face.
“Be courteous for nothing? Impossible,” Xing Lixuan was not seduced by Yu Antong’s sweet smile, and said calmly, “What do you want to do, little thief?”
Yu Antong’s smiling face immediately disappeared. He pouted and said, “Stinky husband! I just want to smile at you!”
“Let me guess,” Xing Lixuan said, “You want to open a branch, but you don’t have the money, right?”
Yu Antong was dumbfounded, and said in disbelief, “Honey, you are too good, how can you guess so accurately?”
In fact, it’s not difficult to guess at all. Ever since Yu Antong was going to participate in this show, Xing Lixuan thought that Yu Antong would face this problem. With the popularity of Immortal’s Banquet rising, the next step was to open more branches.
Xing Lixuan enjoyed Yu Antong’s adoring gaze. “Little fool.”
He directly offered, “How much money do you need, I will invest for you.”
“So straightforward?” Yu Antong asked, “Do you still remember how you refused without hesitation when I asked you to borrow money? You were so ruthless!”
This old matter was brought up again, and even the account was settled. Xing Lixuan touched the tip of his nose in embarrassment. “Baby, don’t mention the past.”
Yu Antong was not a person who held grudges. He just wanted to tease Xing Lixuan on purpose. He didn’t dwell on this matter too much; after all, from Xing Lixuan’s point of view, it would be wrong to casually lend tens of millions to an unfamiliar person.
Yu Antong said, “At the beginning, I boasted that if you lent me, I would definitely pay the capital back with interest within half a year. Looking at it now, it’s fortunate that you didn’t lend me, otherwise I would have to pay you all of my wealth. “
Xing Lixuan: “Not necessarily.”
Yu Antong: “Huh?”
Xing Lixuan: “You don’t need to pay anything else, I just need you.”
Hearing this, Yu Antong was very proactive about engaging in improper transactions. He immediately wrote a script. “The big boss threatens and lures, while the pure male college student sells his body in order to stick to his dream of starting a business. It’s pitiful, tsk tsk!”
