The cat looked at the dishes with some surprise. She hadn't eaten yet, but the dishes were indeed... very beautiful! Because they looked so good, they made her even more hungry.

"How did you make this? It's so much fun." The cat turned the fruit tower around, and from several angles, you could see different patterns: an adorable rabbit, a dozing lion, and a coiled dragon.

Chen Doudou said, "These are all basic skills, nothing difficult about them."

The servants, standing at a distance, silently wiped their sweat when they heard this. When they saw Chen Doudou, who looked like a silly goose, wielding a kitchen knife so fast that his shadow couldn't be seen, they realized that they had truly met a master of the common people today!

The cat took a piece of the dragon's scale, took a bite, which was actually a small slice of watermelon, cut as thin as a cicada's wing. It didn't need to be bitten at all; it melted in the mouth, like drinking water.

She turned her gaze to the thirteen dishes and tasted them one by one. They looked rather monotonous with their red and green colors, but once you tasted them, they were completely different! Moreover, the ingredients were fresh, with the raw parts raw and the cooked parts cooked perfectly, and the cooking time was just right!

Originally, the cat didn't have high expectations, since she didn't have a human appetite and just wanted to make sure she didn't starve to death.

Unexpectedly, Chen Doudou really has some skills!

"Boss, have some soup." Chen Doudou diligently ladled a bowl of soup for the cat.

The cat asked, "What kind of soup is this?"

Chen Doudou kept everyone in suspense, saying, "Boss, why don't you try it first and see if it tastes good?"

The cat tasted it; it had a refreshing taste with a slight bitterness, but it was just right, and it was refreshing and cooling.

The cat nodded generously, squinting its eyes and saying, "Delicious, I want another bowl."

Chen Doudou was all smiles and quickly ladled out another bowl. "This soup is called 'Two Fish Playing with Lotus'."

The cat glanced at the porcelain soup bowl; it only contained soup. "Where's the fish? Where's the lotus?"

Chen Doudou said proudly, "The ingredients for this soup are small crucian carp and lotus seeds. The small crucian carp must be a male and a female. I just peeled the lotus seeds this morning. However, these two alone are not enough. The soul of this soup is water!"

Between four and six in the morning, I collected the morning dew from the lotus leaves, sealed it in a small jar (brought over by hand), and simmered it over low heat for an hour. This resulted in only a small bowl of soup; all the nutrients are in the broth. The fish and lotus seeds have done their job.

The servants listened, completely bewildered.

Even the cat felt that the two sips of soup she had left were incredibly precious.

Immortals do not eat mortal food, but only drink morning dew and eat flowers and fruits. Cat is not an immortal, but Chen Doudou's cooking skills are truly extraordinary!

"With your skills, why would you need to work odd jobs at Jincheng Entertainment? You were crying so badly yesterday." Cat still drank the last two sips of soup.

Speaking of this, Chen Doudou seemed to have endless grievances. She looked at her boss and said, "But nobody cares about my skills. I can only cook vegetarian food, and... cough cough, I have quite a few requirements. No restaurant is willing to hire me."

So, the cat casually mentioned it, and unexpectedly found a master!

"Who taught you this skill?" the cat asked.

Chen Doudou said, "My grandfather and my parents were divorced and neither of them liked me. I grew up with my grandfather. He said that he used to cook for the Empress Dowager. I don't know if it's true or not, but his cooking was incredibly delicious. I only learned a little bit of it."

Cat stared at Chen Doudou and suddenly said, "Then I have to give you a raise. No, let's leave it at that for now. Cat doesn't have any money right now."

Chen Doudou said gratefully, "It's already very good! I'm very satisfied!"

"From now on, you'll be in charge of my meals," the cat said, in a good mood. Solving the food problem was a big accomplishment!

Chen Doudou readily agreed, feeling that she had finally met a wise mentor!

-------------------------------------

In the afternoon, Maomao went to Jincheng Entertainment by herself and found Ai Fenfen in the recording studio.

"Sweetie, come quick! My mixing is almost done. Try singing it again," Ai Fenfen said.

The cat nodded.

However, before singing, she picked up the sheet music and changed some of the lyrics.

Ai Fenfen watched from the side, and after reading it once, she said with great surprise, "My God, it feels like it's immediately on a whole new level! If my lyrics were just superficial before, then your changes have really taken it to the heart of the matter. This is so spot on! So evocative! Sweetie, how come I didn't know you had this talent? You've been keeping it a secret for a long time."

The cat said speechlessly, "Don't be so jumpy."

"Okay, okay, let's try it out," Ai Fenfen said excitedly.

The elegant variations of the violin and piano tell the story of a dilapidated castle, where a young and innocent girl inherits this magnificent legacy alone, destined to live out her days in solitude within this prison.

"The church bells chime at midnight, demons roam the wilderness, the eternal flame illuminates the girl's face, the idol sways... The knight passes by the old graveyard, carving a badge of loyalty... The castle writes a new chapter, the girl is dressed in her finest... The demon's game is mad, the knight is buried with loyalty, the iron sword in the old graveyard is covered in frost... The girl buries that past... The final chapter of Sirius."

The cat's voice strangely blends into this bizarre story, from the girl's initial ignorance to her intense but fleeting joy, and finally to her deathly silence.

When she finished singing and the violin stopped abruptly, it felt like a dream.

Ai Fenfen was in such a dream, and it took her a long time to come back to her senses. She said blankly, "Sweetie, am I hallucinating? I think I saw that girl... I wrote this song just for fun, why did you take it so seriously? I feel so sad now."

"What's so sad about?" the cat asked, looking at her strangely.

"I don't know, I just want to cry, don't you think?" Ai Fenfen said, she wasn't as excited as before.

"I don't think so," the cat said honestly.

Humans have so many emotions… the cat thought silently.

"Okay, you're so calm." Ai Fenfen cheered up. "With a few more details perfected, this song will be ready. I was originally planning to sell it, hehe, Sweetie, I'll give it to you!"

"Give it to me?" Cat looked at her in confusion. As far as she knew, Ai Fenfen's income all came from these songs.

Ai Fenfen patted her chest and said, "Here, this is the current sheet music. I'll give you another copy after I've finished the details! I won't starve to death without this song, hahaha. Most importantly, I think no one but you can sing this song well. Consider it... a farewell gift! Just don't think I'm stingy."

Cat accepted the gift because she had been involved in the whole process, but she said, "Then let's call this song... Sirius! I don't have a gift for you... let me think about it."

She doesn't want to owe anyone anything.

“Hehe, okay, you can give me anything,” Ai Fenfen said.

Just then, the recording studio door was pushed open with a bang, and a effeminate man walked in, saying with utter disdain, "What, it's you again? Don't you know who you are? You're always hogging the recording studio, do you even deserve it? If you delay other singers' recordings, can you afford to take responsibility?!"
