Chapter 44 A Table of Red Mansion Cuisine
In the live broadcast barrage, the audience laughed out loud:
"Hahahaha, even so, I feel like my happiness is back!"
"Sun Shaoqi's reaction is so funny, hahaha! Is he afraid that she'll wake up and her cubs will steal her away?"
"I can't take it anymore, I'm dying of laughter! Stop posting about Xingxing cub all the time, look at our Xingxing cub! Our Xingxing cub is so super cute, that's why he's the group's favorite! The group's favorite deserves the same treatment, and look, he's even got a perfect tonic meal!
"Hahahaha, our Xingxing kid is truly the center of attention! 77 actually cooks specifically for him to nourish his body. Isn't Xingxing happy? This is a privilege you don't have! Incredible, hahaha!"
"Xingxingzai in the center position is always the god, hahaha! So cute!"
"You all think Xingxingzai is the center, but why do I feel that 77 is the real center? In this show, although 77 is not so conspicuous in the kitchen, she still gets a lot of screen time, and the traffic of her live broadcast room is even as good as that of celebrities. A low-key center!"
"So far, I think everyone's in a great position on this show! Weiwei and Chu Chengchuxing are responsible for the flow, Tian Xincuicui is the cuteness, the three idiots are the energy, Xingxingzi is the comedic relief, and 77 is the food! Seriously, everyone's character here is so likable!"
"Did anyone notice the two new men? Is that Uncle Cao Yue?"
“They were both on the edge of the camera, like staff, with no sense of presence_(:3」∠)_”
"But even though Uncle Cao Yue is so marginal, he's still... so handsome!"
…
When Cao Yue realized that he had a new "enemy of his mother", he also decided to "sever ties" with Chu Xing.
After the meal, when Chu Xing came to him with a question, he was very harsh and unfriendly.
After finishing the lecture, Chu Xing asked him doubtfully, "Cao Yue, did I offend you in some way? Tell me and I'll correct it."
Cao Yue chuckled and said, "You haven't offended me. I have no grudge against you."
Chu Xing was confused: "Then why are you doing this?"
Sun Shaoqi walked past them, holding a water cup, and said coldly, "Why don't you understand?"
Cao Yue and Sun Shaoqi actually joined forces: "Sister 7 is ours."
Sun Shaoqi: "Anyone who wants to compete with us for 7 Mom is——"
Cao Yue replied: "Enemy!"
Chu Xing: "...??? Are you declaring war on me?"
Sun Shaoqi and Cao Yue nodded in unison, saying, "Yes!"
When everyone thought Chu Xing was going to back out, Chu Xing said with a cold face, "Oh? In that case, let's go with our own abilities. My dad is a top star in the Chinese entertainment industry. He's rich, handsome, and young. He's fully qualified to compete with you parents, isn't he?"
King Chu, who was cleaning nearby, looked proud: "My son praised me well!"
Sun Shaoqi: "Your father has multiple personalities. Don't think I don't know. If you round it up, he's sick. He won't pass the marriage examination!"
Cao Yue: "My uncle is a Qinghua undergraduate, and Ha'ao is a graduate student. He works at Fengkai Group. He has a high degree and a stable job! He is tall and handsome! Your father is a celebrity, his job is unstable, he can't be at home with his wife, and he is always in danger of being photographed and hacked. Your father's competitiveness is not good~"
Cao Feng silently gave him a thumbs up.
Chu Xing's competitive spirit was aroused. "Oh? Sun Shaoqi, what right do you have to say that about my dad? My dad only has multiple personalities when he sings. He never has any other personalities at other times! What about your dad? Your dad can't do that! This will affect Sister Seven's future happiness!"
He looked at Cao Yue again: "And you, Cao Yue, your uncle has a high degree of education, a good company, and is handsome, so what? He's not as rich as my dad!"
Sun Shaoqi covered his chest, as if he had been stabbed by a sword.
Cao Yue was choked by Chu Xing's words and almost blurted out his uncle's true identity!
Both of them were hit in the sore spots by Chu Xing and were seriously injured and left the stage!
Barrage:
"Hahahaha I can't take it anymore, I'm already laughing like crazy!"
"Are these three idiots crazy? Hahahahaha..."
"Come on, let's hurt each other!"
"Wake Up Cub wins right now!"
"I can't hold it anymore. I was already having a headache from all the murky news these past few days, but when I saw these three idiot boys, I couldn't hold it anymore. It's too funny, hahaha!"
"Isn't it funny? Don't forget about those underage girls. Chu Xing, don't play dead. Prove your innocence!"
"That's right! Chu Xing, stop pretending to be dead and come out and explain everything, okay?"
"The production team has already announced that tonight, Xiaogulou will host a banquet for the first audience of six, selected randomly. Among these six, there will be reporters and anti-fans, so everyone should wait and see."
"That's right, the live program team will give everyone the opportunity to ask questions. If you have any questions, you can type them in the question area, and the audience who eat on the show will help you ask them!"
"That's right, the production team has done a great job. Just wait and see. There's no need to keep complaining. Isn't it better to just watch the show?"
-
The program resumed broadcasting and its popularity continued to rise.
The popularity of "Our Delicious Restaurant" directly suppressed the dirty water topics of Zhang Xun and Zhang Tao:
Three young fools fight for their mother in public
Chu Xing can’t mock Sun Fugui!
Xue 77 prepares a tonic meal for Sun Fugui
A unique journey to the Little Drum Tower
Chu Xingqingqing
Delicious Restaurant crew encounters gunfight abroad
…
The program team's topics dominated the Weibo hot list.
The topic used by Zhang Xun and his son to throw dirty water on Chu Xing was quickly suppressed and even removed from the hot searches.
Thanks to the powerful marketing account, Chu Xing and Chu Cheng’s fans also started to make an effort.
Chu Xing and Chu Cheng’s fans are all crazy fans.
They are so cruel when they step on people, and they are really irrational when they go crazy.
Previously, due to being misled by public opinion, these fans burst into tears.
However, a day later, because Chu Xing and Chu Cheng finally spoke out, the fans gathered their strength and began to unite against the outside world.
In addition, the marketing account came out to lead the rhythm and said:
"Everyone, don't be fooled by the smokescreen sent by Zhang Xun and his son. If those girls were really raped, you can just call the police. This kind of thing has become so serious that the police can't be unaware of it. So, let's wait and see what the police say! Besides, Yun Rong has already been taken to the police station, and the police are investigating! Until the results are out, everyone, please be patient and wait!"
With the help of marketing accounts, the doubts suddenly subsided.
"Alright, alright, everyone, just watch the show and trust the police! Wait for the results!"
"1, things have been so chaotic these past few days, let's just wait and see what happens. I'm sure the police will sort things out for us, so for now, we'll just have to watch the show!"
"Yeah! Just watch the show and don't argue! When the results come out, even if Chu Xing is the one at fault, I won't tolerate it!"
"Emmm... Today's trending searches, forums, and comments are finally back to normal. Earlier, all the Weibo trending searches and comments under the topic were directed at Xingxingzi. There are so many fake fans pretending to be fans who turned against him! I don't believe that fans who like Xingxingzi and Chu Cheng would turn against him before the results are out."
"1. I think so too. And that fan who turned against me and picked me up at the airport yesterday, who was touching Xingxing, is obviously a fake fan!"
"Protect our Xingxing cubs! True fans will never run away from the battlefield! Always protect Xingxing cubs!"

Imperial Capital, Lanyunzi Group.
Zhang Tao has been staying in his father's office for several days and doesn't dare to go home at all.
His father Zhang Xun went to a meeting, while he sat at the dining table and ate snail noodles while watching short video apps.
He suddenly saw a humanity test, and for some unknown reason he clicked on it and began to test his own humanity.
Welcome to the virus program. Are you willing to become a virus in this world? Are you willing to become the god that dominates this world?
Zhang Tao sneered: "Of course I do."
[After you become a virus, your specialties will be developed to the top of the world. Are you willing? ]
Zhang Tao: "My specialty? Of course I'm willing. I'm curious about what my specialty is."
[Virus infection, please wait. 】
Infection 100
Congratulations on becoming this world's virus. Your strengths will be infinitely magnified. After testing, your strength is 'evil,' and you will become the world's greatest villain. You will possess the most perfect murder techniques, and you will also possess the most advanced techniques for exonerating yourself.
Zhang Tao thought the advertisement was quite interesting but didn't take it seriously.
But when he turned off his phone, he found that the subtitles he had just seen on his phone began to appear in front of his eyes:
[Hello virus, now is the time to test your abilities! ]
【Let’s start committing a crime! 】
[Go to the surveillance camera and smash a million-dollar luxury car. ]
Zhang Tao was stunned when he saw the subtitles in front of him. After making sure it was not an illusion, he walked out of the office as if possessed by a ghost and went down to the underground parking garage.
He found a fire axe and smashed a luxury car.
The owner of the luxury car quickly drove to the parking lot, but Zhang Tao did not leave. Instead, he hid behind a stone pillar.
But for some reason, even though the owner of the luxury car called the police and even asked the security personnel of the office building to check the surveillance, they could not find out who did it.
The perpetrator Zhang Tao stood behind the stone pillar the entire time and did not leave!
Zhang Tao came to the monitoring room and found that the video of him smashing the car had been deleted!
Realizing that he had obtained the golden finger of a "perfect crime", Zhang Tao was very excited. He immediately went to the streets to steal things, beat people, and even went to the bank to rob one million!
However, when he finished doing all this and returned to his father's office, nothing happened.
He even took the initiative to surrender himself to the police station with one million, but the police only praised him for returning the money and did not believe that he had robbed a bank at all!
When Zhang Tao returned to the office, he saw the live broadcast of "Our Delicious Restaurant" and suddenly had an idea.
He hated Chu Xing and had long wanted to scratch his face.
If he got the "Perfect Crime" golden finger, wouldn't he have this opportunity?
When Zhang Xun came back from the meeting, Zhang Tao said, "Dad, I want to be on the show 'Our Delicious Restaurant'."
Zhang Xun looked puzzled: "What are you doing?"
Zhang Tao: "Dad, don't worry about it. Just send me to the show. Don't worry, I won't cause any trouble. I will help us turn this situation around!"
Zhang Xun was worried and said, "No."
Zhang Taochang tried to persuade Zhang Xun: "Dad, isn't it a good time for me to be on the show now? If I'm on the show, it means we have no guilty conscience. As long as they don't have evidence, netizens will side with us, right?"
Zhang Xun is sure to win this battle, and he is even a little conceited now.
He was confident about this matter and did not think anything would happen to him. If he fell, none of the high-ranking officials in Shanghai would be able to escape, as too many people would be implicated.
So he is now fearless and arranges for his son to go to the program crew to make trouble. Maybe he can scare those actors and make them dare not make trouble again.
Zhang Xun nodded. "Okay, I'll take you there. However, since I didn't invest in this show, I may not be able to get you in. I can only bribe the program's selection staff to arrange for you to attend the dinner in the name of a fan. The success rate is not high. If you succeed in getting in, just go and scare them. Don't cause any trouble, understand?"
Zhang Tao nodded: "Of course. Don't worry, Dad. I won't cause any trouble for you."
…
At around five o'clock in the afternoon, Xue Qi prepared a table of Red Mansion dishes to entertain the guests.
In the kitchen, Xue Qi was busy, and Cao Feng was still helping her.
The theme of today's dinner is "Dream of Red Mansions", and the dishes are all dishes that appear in "Dream of Red Mansions".
The first dish is pickled goose feet and duck stomach.
Xue Qi specially used wine lees that had been sealed for a year. Once the jar was opened, the whole kitchen was filled with the rich aroma of the lees, and the aroma of the wine was very tempting.
This dish primarily features plump goose feet and duck tongues. After cooking, rinse with cold water and break off the tips of the feet. Place all ingredients on a plate and steam in a steamer. After about half an hour, remove the goose feet and remove the bones.
Finally, pour in the juice of the fragrant glutinous rice, add ten-year rice wine, water and special sauce, mix well, soak, serve on a plate, and pour sesame oil on it.
She also made the famous dish "Dream of Red Mansions" - eggplant fish.
Chop the dried eggplant into small pieces, deep-fry them in fragrant and rich chicken oil at high temperature, then add diced chicken, diced bamboo shoots, diced mushrooms, five-spice dried tofu and chopped dried fruits, stir-fry them together, pour chicken broth over them, add seasonings and simmer slowly until the water is dry and the sauce is collected.
Xue Qi also made a lotus leaf soup. The container for the soup was a lotus cup carved by Xue Qi from a radish. It was a small and delicate container, and the carving technique was so lifelike that you couldn't tell it was a radish at all.
The meat dishes include steamed lamb with milk, rouge goose breast, fried wolfberry sprouts with oil and salt, steamed duck with fermented rice wine... and the staple foods include tofu skin buns, crab dumplings, and chicken fat rolls.
At the dinner table, Xue Qi carved hundreds of hibiscus flowers out of radish on the main table, and the flowers were in full bloom and lifelike.
On the dining table, each dish was served in an exquisite container and placed together with these hibiscus flowers, like a spectacular Manchu-Han banquet.
Everyone gathered around and took photos of the delicious food on the table.
Chen Weiwei: "Your dexterity is impressive! 77, are you in need of a girlfriend? Don't be so particular about gender!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she received hateful gazes from the three teenagers.
Sun Shaoqi: "No appointment!"
Cao Yue: "Don't even think about turning our Seventh Sister into a lesbian."
Chu Xing: "Sister Weiwei, I think Sister Cuicui is more suitable for you."
Tian Xincui, who was caught in the crossfire, was so innocent: "???"
There was an inexplicably strong sense of tension between the three adults.
Cao Feng was about to pull the chair next to Xue Qi when Sun Fugui rushed over, pressed the chair with his hand, and smiled: "Old Cao, you've been sitting next to 77 for several days. Can you give everyone a chance?"
Cao Feng said indifferently, "Opportunities are earned by yourself, not given to you by others. Old Sun, I won't give up my position to you, not because I don't want to, but because I'm worried that the audience will say you're incompetent."
Sun Fugui gritted his teeth and said, "Since they've already determined that I'm incompetent, then I'll be incompetent to the end! So, give me this position?"
Cao Feng: "I'm sorry, I can't put my friend in an unfair situation."
Then he patted his shoulder and said, "Go sit over there. Come earlier next time."
However, just as the two of them were fighting for a seat, Chu Cheng had already sat down on the other side of Xue Qi, took out his phone, and politely asked Xue Qi: "77, do you want to take a selfie?"
Xue Qi discovered that the mobile phone Chu Cheng took out was the one that was known as the most natural beauty phone!
The price is as high as six figures!
Xue Qi nodded immediately: "Okay!"
So the two of them happily took selfies. After taking about a dozen, Chu Cheng asked her to choose a few: "I can edit pictures. If you're not satisfied with any, I can help you."
Xue Qi flipped through the photos and expressed satisfaction. "No, it's quite nice, no need for any Photoshop. But the beauty filter on this phone is really natural! It doesn't look like an internet celebrity at all. My fans haven't arrived yet, so we can't eat right now. Can you use this phone to take some pictures for me outside? The garden at the Little Drum Tower is truly amazing. Can you take a few more pictures for me?"
"Okay, no problem. It's my honor."
Cao Feng and Sun Fugui watched the two men walk out of the hall. One of them had an increasingly cold expression on his face, while the other gnashed his teeth and stomped his feet.
Sun Fugui clenched his fists. "Damn it! The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind! Chu Cheng, that beast! Why did he take 77 from me?"
Cao Feng said nothing, took three or two steps and followed them to the garden.
Xue Qi stood beside the flowers and took more than ten photos. Cao Feng suddenly came over, took out his mobile phone and started taking pictures of Xue Qi.
Xue Qi found that Cao Feng was also taking pictures of her, and cooperated by posing a few times according to his angle.
A minute later, Xue Qi ran up to Cao Feng and rushed over excitedly: "Manager Cao, let me see what you took!"
Cao Feng proudly opened his phone and whispered, "You are beautiful."
As a result, Xue Qi opened the photo, swiped it, his face turned pale, and he felt numb!
Xue Qi took a deep breath and patted Cao Feng on the shoulder: "Well, Manager Cao, you took a good picture. Don't do it again next time."
After saying that, she walked towards Chu Cheng. After looking at the photos on Chu Cheng's phone, the girl jumped for joy: "Ahhhh, Chu Tianwang, you are a god! This composition is so beautiful! Oh my god, you made me look like a fairy! Woo woo woo, Chu Tianwang, you are so good! Love it!"
Netizens in the live broadcast saw the photos taken by Cao Feng and Chu Cheng for Xue Qi. After comparison, they realized that Chu Cheng's composition aesthetic was at the king level.
Barrage:
"Hahahahahaha! Manager Cao, you took great photos. Don't do it next time!"
"I'm dying of laughter! Manager Cao's photography skills are just like my boyfriend's! Every time I go out happily for a photoshoot, I always come back disappointed! I'm 175cm tall, but my boyfriend can make me look like 157cm! Damn!"
"Hahahaha, same world, same straight guy taking photos with me, stupid teammate!"
"I'm dead, hahahaha! Manager Cao, you're single for a reason, hahahaha! 77 didn't kill you because you're so handsome!"
"Being handsome really does have its perks! I didn't even get beaten to death by 77, hahahahaha!"
"I can't help it, I'm laughing so hard! Chu Tianwang's photography skills are amazing! Please give me a boyfriend like him!"
"That's hilarious! Xingxingzi's face turned green with rage!"
"Xingxingzi went back to his room and took out his own prescription. Hahaha, he might as well learn from Chu Cheng and buy a beauty phone!"
…
Sun Fugui took out a single-sided camera from the room and ran over to Xue Qi and Chu Cheng. "77, I brought a single-sided camera. I'll take a picture of you! I'll have the staff edit you into a beautiful woman!"
Xue Qi was puzzled: "Huh? Am I not a great beauty? Do I need to edit my photos to become a great beauty?"
Sun Fugui: "No, that's not what I meant."
Barrage: "Hahahahahaha, okay, step back. 77 didn't beat you to death, she's well-educated, hahaha!"
Xue Qi was taking pictures with Chu Cheng in the garden when a staff member came in with six fans.
It was only after returning to the restaurant and sitting down that Xue Qi realized that the atmosphere was a little off.
A young man sitting on the right drank a glass of water and looked at Chu Xing sitting opposite him with a funny face: "Classmate Chu Xing, long time no see, did you miss me?"
This is clearly a provocation.
Chu Xing was so angry that he was shaking all over, his fists were clenched, and his eyes turned bloodshot.
Xue Qi sat down next to him and patted Chu Xing on the shoulder: "Why don't you say hello to your old classmates? Don't be so rude."
After Xue Qi's reminder, Chu Xing immediately woke up and greeted Zhang Tao: "Hello, classmate Zhang Tao, you seem to be so confident."
Zhang Tao chuckled and said, "I am innocent, so I have nothing to fear."
Xue Qi greeted everyone: "Okay, everyone is here, let's eat."
The delicious food on the table was so exquisite and exuded an enticing aroma, which aroused the appetite of the family.
Everyone started eating, but Zhang Tao and Chu Xing were still staring at each other, fighting with their eyes.
Then, Xue Qi saw a line of small red words appear above Zhang Tao's head:
[World virus, criminal ability is enhanced to the peak, with the ability of "perfect crime". ]
Xue Qi: “…”
Why do viruses exist?
She was stunned for a long while before she figured it out.
This world is one of the three thousand small worlds created by the Lord God, and the world's operating program is not stable.
Goldfinger 001 and Goldfinger 002 are the administrators of this world, but they have made a mess of it.
Goldfinger 002 was more capable than 001. Before being destroyed by the Lord God System, he created a "virus" to disrupt the world. Although the goldfinger was gone, the bugs in this world still existed, as did the virus.
Xue Qi exclaimed, "What a great guy!"
Zhang Tao picked up a piece of pickled goose feet and duck intestines with his chopsticks. He ate it ravenously. There were boneless duck feet and duck intestines in the chopsticks.
When the food enters your mouth, there is a faint aroma of wine on your taste buds. The texture is crispy, chewy and has a strong aroma.
The smell made him unable to stop, and his eyes lit up.
He then picked up the lotus leaf soup from the small bone china dish, which was a small lotus cup carved from a radish. He held the cup between his lips and drank the soup in one gulp.
The refreshing taste seemed to cleanse his stomach and intestines, whetted his appetite.
Xue Qi uses tender mutton for his milk lamb, which is not pure lamb, but the taste is not much different.
The meat tastes extremely tender, without the expected lamb smell. Instead, it feels like you are holding a piece of milk in your mouth, and the rich and tender milk flavor is so addictive.
Zhang Tao ate with great satisfaction. When Xue Qi looked at him again, he saw small red words appear above his head:
[Due to the effects of Happy Food, the "Perfect Crime" ability disappears.]
…
After everyone had their fill, the post-meal Q&A session began.
But Zhang Tao had no intention of "asking questions and answers" at all. He was thinking the whole time about what occasion would be appropriate to do to Chu Xing.
It would be best if his face was completely disfigured and his life was worse than death!
Anyway, he has the ability to commit the "perfect crime", the police can't catch him, and all evidence pointing to him will be erased.
Zhang Tao is very much looking forward to the next "project".
