Lin Yiran: "Okay! Let's have spicy hot pot then. It has meat, vegetables, and everything in between. We can also make a cold drink afterwards. It'll be very appetizing." Actually, she decided to make it because hot pot is the most convenient and Lin Yiran's favorite food, and it's also simple. Senran had no objections to this.

The wheelchair was raised, and Lin Yiran took over the job of whipping cream.

Household robots can actually do this job too, but it involves fine motor skills, and they often knock over the dishes, so Lin Yiran usually does this job herself.

After playing for a while, Senran's arm felt a little uncomfortable, so he said directly, "I'll buy you a custom robot tomorrow. They can handle delicate tasks like this."

Lin Yiran was making soup when she heard this and said without turning her head, "Okay! I'll transfer the money to you later." She mainly hesitated to buy it because the price was too high, but now that the cake shop is about to open, it's time to put the robot on the agenda.

Senran: "No need. Even if my investment is successful, I can't really help with opening the store. Doing these things is just what I should do."

Lin Yiran turned her head upon hearing this: "You don't need to think like that. Don't worry, you'll be useful in the future."

The purpose of his work is to help Lin Yiran mind the shop. She has to go to school, and hiring someone else to mind the shop would definitely not be as dedicated as having someone from her own side. Later, Senran can work as a sales clerk in her cake shop. Lin Yiran thinks that with his good looks, there will definitely be more girls buying cakes from her shop.

After all, this is an era where good looks can put food on the table.

Just look at Actor Lin; he's constantly raking in advertising fees, endorsement fees, and film salaries. He earns the majority of the Lin family's income, which is then indirectly invested in Lin Zaiqing's research institute. Of course, the Lin family certainly has other businesses, but they're mostly endorsed by Actor Lin. Many industries have branched out around him, including Starlight Film and Entertainment Company.

They only have one artist, Lin Fei, and they serve her exclusively.

She was showered with love and affection.

However, Lin Yiran wasn't jealous at all; she was living a pretty good life herself.

"By the way, the Interstellar Chef Competition has been moved up. It'll start in about a week. Have you prepared your ingredients?"

After Senran's reminder, Lin Yiran checked her Star Brain. She had added too many people recently, and many of them had been blocked by her because she couldn't reply to them all, so she hadn't noticed the messages.

I opened it and sure enough, there was this message in the notification.

They said the cooking competition was moved up a week and would start a week later. They even sent out the entry details, but there weren't many.

Lin Yiran needs to prepare the ingredients herself, and there will be someone to test them. There are also some competition rules and such.

After reading it, Lin Yiran silently memorized it and roughly understood the competition process. She also had a recipe in mind, so she could just cook it directly when the time came.

Lin Yiran didn't take it to heart. She had recently gone with Murong Zaiye to try some food at the interstellar restaurant, and all she could say was that the taste was, well, indescribable.

Because the ingredients contain violent energy that cannot be removed, the dishes in their restaurant, no matter how much of the ingredients are added, always taste strange. Simply put, they lack the original freshness of the ingredients.

Take chestnuts, for example. Before the apocalypse, you could just grab a handful, boil them in water, and they'd have a sweet and slightly starchy texture. But chestnuts in interstellar space have a bitter aftertaste, like they've been eaten by worms.

This is a matter of ingredients.

Finally, the day of the competition arrived, and Lin Yiran brought the ingredients early. After some testing, Lin Yiran changed into a chef's uniform and stood on the stage. This was an opportunity to enhance the reputation of their restaurant. To be honest, Lin Yiran was a little nervous, but she got used to it.

The competition adopted a live voting method, where viewers could turn on a holographic simulator to taste the food themselves, and then the final chef would be determined based on the scores from eight judges on site.

Chefs participating in the competition must possess two skills: making desserts and cooking home-style dishes.

Therefore, the competition was divided into two parts: a dessert competition and a cooking competition.

Only those who achieve a passing average in both categories can be recognized as a culinary master. This dessert competition was a later development, and its popularity stems from the fact that people in the first interstellar region have an exceptional love for cakes and other sweets, which is why a dessert competition was added to the culinary master competition.

The final chefs who won two crowns.

Of course, if you can excel in one aspect, you can also stand out from the crowd. For chefs whose skills are not up to par, this competition is more about increasing the popularity of their restaurants through live streaming, giving them more exposure opportunities, which is entirely beneficial.

At most, people will mock him for not being good enough.

But for truly skilled chefs, this competition is purely for their benefit.

Lin Yiran learned about the contestants' backgrounds and discovered that she only had one enemy: Master Yu, the master chef of 'Zhenyaoge'. He was a veteran chef whose skills were loved by almost everyone in the star-rated restaurant. He had been the champion of the chef competition for thirty consecutive years.

Many people watched the live stream specifically because of him.

I hope to try his cooking. After all, because of his great reputation, the dishes he makes are very expensive. It is normal for a dish to cost tens of thousands of yuan, and there was even a dish that cost more than 100,000 yuan.

Lin Yiran: That's a bit of an exaggeration. Selling a dish for such an expensive price is like eating gold.

However, Lin Yiran was not worried at all.

Although Chef Yu is good at cooking, he is not good at making desserts and cakes. His cakes and desserts are simply indescribable. The reason he wins the championship every time is because netizens cheer him on. Because his cooking is so delicious, they ignore the taste of his cakes.

This is his weakness, and Lin can still defeat him in this aspect.

However, just as the competition was about to begin, Lin Yiran unexpectedly saw Lin Fei at the scene.

This guy seems to be haunting me.

How come I run into her everywhere?

As expected of a public figure, Lin Fei is quite popular. When she arrived, all the live-streaming balls flew towards her, practically wanting to slap her in the face.

"Miss Lin Fei, why are you participating in this cooking competition? As far as I know, your cooking skills don't seem to be very outstanding. Are you trying to confirm the rumors that you're just a pretty face through this competition?"

The reporter's words were indeed sharp and to the point!

Lin Yiran stood in front of the kitchen counter and couldn't help but lower her head and laugh. Haha, it's just too funny!

To be honest, she didn't understand why Lin Fei was so determined to clear her name of the rumors that she wasn't just a pretty face.

But every time, he ends up contradicting himself.
