Huayu Entertainment: The Birth of a Succubus Top Star

Everyone was laughing and chatting, but Huang Lei could only sigh as he looked at the fish.

How do we handle such a big thing?

There was no other way but to grit my teeth and do it.

As for the small fish that Gu Zhiyan caught, of course he released it.

He definitely didn't do it on purpose; with such a big fish, the small fish were simply not worth his attention.

When Huang Lei finally finished cleaning the fish and returned to the house, he saw a group of people gathered in the kitchen, exclaiming in amazement.

What's going on?

The kitchen is his territory!

"Brother Yan is amazing!"

Hearing Peng Yuchang's flattery, he realized that Gu Zhiyan was cooking. Oh, then there's no problem.

But is this kid really good at it, or is he just pretending?

Driven by curiosity, Huang Lei also joined in.

Gu Zhiyan stood before the table with a knife in hand, lightly pressing the tender tofu with his fingertips. He then pushed the knife along the flat surface of the tofu, slicing it into thin slices as thin as cicada wings, revealing the texture through the light.

Then, he switched to making vertical diagonal cuts, his wrist as steady as a rock, making precise and clean cuts, with each cut spaced exactly at the millimeter's distance. The finely cut tofu strips were distinct, as thin as silver threads.

What's even more amazing is that after being added to the soup, the tofu strips sway gently with the hot broth, each one stretching out without sticking together, dispersing like clouds in the soup without any broken strands, showcasing the exquisite knife skills.

Huang Lei's eyes widened in disbelief. This knife skill was something even a top chef couldn't match.

Although Huang Lei isn't a great cook, he does have a good eye for food.

Are there really geniuses in this world who can do everything?

The cameraman in charge of filming didn't dare to shake his hand even slightly, for fear of causing the slightest flaw in the footage.

This isn't cooking; it's clearly a meticulously crafted work of art.

The director's eyes narrowed into slits with laughter; he had already imagined the overwhelming buzz and viewership that would follow this scene after it aired.

Hearing the exclamations of the crowd, Da Tian Tian's little face was filled with pride, even happier than when others praised her.

"Xiao Gu, your cooking skills are amazing! How did you learn them?" He Jiong asked, his voice full of amazement.

Gu Zhiyan replied casually, "I haven't practiced much, I can learn it easily with a little practice."

Everyone: ……

We've been to Versailles.

Is this what they mean by a natural talent?

No wonder people always say that hard work is worthless in the face of talent.

Seriously, isn't Gu Zhiyan's talent a bit too outrageous?

Studying, music, cooking, e-sports, martial arts...

Demon!

Of all the people, Huang Lei felt it the most deeply, because he had really put in the effort to study cooking.

You can learn it just by learning it casually?

Listen to this! Is this even human language?!

With just a slight move, this genius has already reached a level that ordinary people can never achieve in a lifetime!

Huang Lei felt inexplicably upset. Could Gu Zhiyan have come here specifically to upset him?

Amidst everyone's praise, Gu Zhiyan finished her solo performance, and the kitchen naturally returned to Huang Lei's hands.

Huang Lei, whose spirits were dampened by Gu Zhiyan, was somewhat absent-minded throughout the cooking process.

During this time, Gu Zhiyan secretly went to the kitchen a few times because he was very curious about how Huang Lei could make so many "dark" dishes.

That really made his eyelids twitch.

Take Buddha Jumps Over the Wall for example. Gu Zhiyan didn't see Huang Lei drain the water. He just poured in a whole bottle of Shaoxing wine. After pouring in one bottle, he paused for a moment, as if he felt it wasn't enough. He then took out another bottle of Shaoxing wine and poured it in before nodding with satisfaction.

Not a drop of water, just two catties of Shaoxing wine to simmer; I don't like to use ordinary methods, I just want to highlight my unique insights into cooking.

Huang Lei's fondness for adding Shaoxing wine to his cooking is inextricably linked to Chen Chichi.

Yellow wine, it's too weak, add more, add more.

From then on, Chef Huang awakened his skills in this area.

Perhaps Chen Chichi was simply craving alcohol, which is why he tricked Chef Huang like that, since that guy is a drunkard.

But then again, how could a chef like you be fooled by someone who doesn't know anything about the industry?

Seeing Huang Lei cook, Gu Zhiyan was completely stunned and made up her mind not to touch any dishes except for a few home-style dishes.

Before long, the food was ready, everyone sat down at the table, and it was time to eat!

"Come on, everyone, try this Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. This thing took me a lot of effort to make." Huang Lei cheerfully invited everyone to start eating.

"I'll try it first," He Jiong said, taking the initiative to offer his opinion.

After taking a bite, He Jiong exclaimed in admiration, "This is amazing! Absolutely incredible! My God, the taste is simply unbeatable. I've never eaten such delicious food in my life."

If Gu Zhiyan hadn't witnessed Huang Lei's cooking process firsthand, given He Jiong's acting skills, she probably would have fallen for it without hesitation.

Gu Zhiyan gave He Jiong a meaningful look. As expected of the "Evil Gardenia," she was absolutely brilliant.

He Jiong felt Gu Zhiyan's gaze, looked up and grinned at him.

Everything is understood without words!

Apart from Gu Zhiyan, everyone else followed He Jiong and started trying it out.

Then they ate without saying a word, and all of them became memes.

Especially Da Tian Tian, ​​her face turned red immediately after taking a bite.

I don't know if it was because I was holding it in or because I was drunk.

"Tian Tian, ​​what's wrong? Are you choking? Do you want some fish soup to calm down?"

Seeing Jing Tian's expression, He Jiong spoke up.

Da Tiantian nodded frantically, ladled out a bowl of fish soup, picked it up, and drank it down.

The next second, she stood up and said, "I... I need to use the restroom first."

Gu Zhiyan shook his head. He had reminded Da Tiantian before the meal, but she hadn't listened at all.

Those who don't heed good advice will suffer the consequences!

Those who had tasted Buddha Jumps Over the Wall immediately realized that the fish soup was definitely not simple when they saw Jing Tian's reaction, and no one dared to touch the fish soup again.

Everyone was scared!

Huang Lei watched everyone eat with a look of satisfaction on his face. Well, he rarely ate the dishes he cooked.

This became one of the points that led to his downfall and subsequent online backlash.

To be honest, Gu Zhiyan understood this point. It's normal to lose your appetite when you're exposed to cooking fumes for a long time.

"Was that fish bad?"

Seeing Da Tian Tian return, Gu Zhiyan asked quietly.

"Ugh, it's too fishy. I just threw up. It's all my fault for not listening to you."

Speaking of this, Da Tiantian looked terrified.

With a fish this big, it's normal for it to have a fishy smell if Huang Lei's cooking skills aren't handled properly.

However, judging from Da Tian Tian's appearance, this fish was obviously extremely fishy.

"Have some of my tofu to help you recover."

Gu Zhiyan's Wensi Tofu became the most popular dish on the table, and even Huang Lei, who rarely ate, couldn't stop eating it.

Fortunately, Gu Zhiyan considered the large number of people and asked the production team to prepare more ingredients, so everyone still wanted more after finishing the meal.

Xu Zheng even suggested that Gu Zhiyan wouldn't have to do any labor tomorrow, and that he would cook lunch for him.

The younger generation naturally shouldn't offer their opinions.

"I think it's a good idea," He Jiong was the first to agree, then looked at Huang Lei and said, "Teacher Huang, what do you think?"

Huang Lei: ...

So he was usurped and had his power seized?

However, Gu Zhiyan's cooking was indeed a little bit better than his.
