Next, she poured the rice, eggs, and other ingredients in. This was a homely dish, and it was relatively easy to make. Xiang Yi had been casual in her technique too, refraining from tossing the wok, and yet, it gave an inexplicable feeling of…
Hunger.
Nowadays, in Huaguo's advanced streaming industry, food-themed blogs and streams contained several top chefs and famous figures. The dishes they cooked up were high-end and exquisite. Their knife skills, heat control, seasoning and so on could make people send out 666* from start to finish.
But something always seemed missing.
Many netizens watching in front of their screens began to drool involuntarily.
—[F*ck, looking at this makes me so hungry]
—[Ahhhh it must taste so good! I love all the ingredients in it!]
—[QQ why does our girl look so pretty when she cooks!]
Ah Nan had been paying close attention to the ments and was still immersed in happiness until the leader of the anti-fans, Shan Shan, showed up late to the party.
—[It's just fried rice, what are you guys going on about?]
—[Your beauty filters are on level 10, aren't they? How can a kitchen be that clean in reality?]
—[This jumpy maggot is starting to pursue fame again! You 18th tier** actor, have some self-awareness, OK? Our Shi Yingdi isn't someone you can climb over.]
—[Let me tell everyone how to boycott this vase fairy: report all the products and brands she endorses. Don't ask why; anything endorsed by garbage is naturally garbage itself. Let her pay the breach of contract fee and lose all her money!]
Ah Nan's face was turning more and more sour.
He wasn't a capable agent who could obtain any top-tier resources he wanted, but he had carefully received and selected every endors.e.m.e.nt and mercial Xiang Yi had ever been a part of. The quality, reputation, and cost effectiveness of these brands were guaranteed.
Seeing his own idol being grilled like this, he almost had the urge to clutch the keyboard and scold them for three days and three nights.
When his anger had been ignited to a peak, a gentle voice came to him clearly like spring water from the mountains. "Wash your hands, it's time to eat."
She's done? Already?
Ah Nan paused for a moment and looked over.
The girl was serving rice with a natural wood ladle that made her slender fingers appear white as milk. The rice was soft and golden, with red shrimps, green beans and orange carrots peeking through… The bright and warm colors mixed with the fragrant rice was a dish that couldn't be more homely, yet, it was extremely impactful.
"Gulp..." Ah Nan swallowed.
"You eat first, I'm going to make some seaweed soup," Xiang Yi said, then she went back to work.
Ah Nan wanted to wait for her to eat too, but his stomach suddenly began to rumble nonstop. He reassured himself that it wasn't him being greedy, it was the rice seducing him!
He leaned the phone on a nearby shelf so it could capture both him and Xiang Yi.
Ah Nan was not mindful and began to eat inside the kitchen.
The moment the rice entered his mouth—
The netizens suddenly noticed that the screen… had frozen?
Heh? Did the internet freeze?
They tapped on the screen only to find that everything was normal.
For more than ten seconds, Ah Nan had remained still. When he snapped back to reality, his voice had bee a cry: "F*CK! What kind of heavenly delicacy is this ahhh!"
Translator's Notes:
* 666 is synonymous with 'smooth' (Liu) in Chinese, so it's used as an abbreviation to pliment people on streams or games when they do something impressive
** Original text uses '18th tier' (in parison to tier 1, tier 2 and tier 3 actors)
