Chapter 4 004 People mock the Chinese cuisine for replicating...
Chapter 4
When Lin Shu opened StarNet and prepared to write the update for the day, he found that he had been rewarded with 1,000 star coins.
[This is a very interesting food article. Keep it up, author! 】
There were very few messages in the comment section. After all, he had only posted three or four chapters. It was beyond Lin Shu's expectation to receive a reward. In the Youlan Galaxy, the purchasing power of 1,000 star coins was similar to 100 yuan in Lin Shu's previous life. It was considered a very good reward.
Calming his mind, Lin Shu continued to write the subsequent plot.
In the next chapter, he arranged a satisfying face-slapping scene.
Most of the guests that the Lu family was longing for did not show up for the banquet, but instead they all came to a small restaurant that they had never even heard of.
The salt and pepper pork ribs, which were the last to be served at the Lu family banquet, were served in ordinary bowls and plates in this small restaurant and placed casually in a corner. In addition to the salt and pepper pork ribs, there were several dishes on the table that Lu's father had never seen before.
However, those upper-class people of the Imperial Star, who had to be servile and fawning for fear that Mr. Lu himself could not take good care of them, now completely disregarded their image and scrambled for the food under the temptation of the delicious food - if they usually ate in the Lu family restaurant, they would only move their chopsticks symbolically.
This reality hit Father Lu hard, but when the chef who prepared these dishes showed up, Father Lu was really shocked—it was Lu Qiong, who was expelled from the Lu family by him!
Just by smelling the dishes, one can tell that they are rare delicacies. When did Lu Qiong learn how to make them?
Father Lu suspected that his deceased ex-wife had taught Lu Qiong the secret recipe in private. Otherwise, how could Lu Qiong, a good-for-nothing who only knew how to eat and drink all day, have such a skill?
Those diners with wealthy families only praised Lu Qiong, and those who didn't know the inside story even praised Lu's father for his good parenting.
Just as Lu's father was trying to fool him, Lu Qiong took the initiative to confess the reality that he was kicked out of the house.
The diners all showed meaningful expressions.
"No wonder the Lu Group's standards are getting worse day by day. I heard that the second young master took over."
"I was wondering why the Lu family had an only child? It turns out that Old Master Yang is a famous chef in the Imperial Star, and Little Lu is at least Old Master Yang's grandson. This Second Young Master has no blood relationship with Old Master Yang, so how can he cook good food? I've been to the new branch, and the food is terrible. The Lu family is no longer the same as before."
The diners don't have to give face to the Lu family. Moreover, although the Lu family currently has a large industry, everyone can see that as a family of food, compared with the industry, craftsmanship is the most important.
The future is clearly on the other side of the dome.
The diners kept mocking Mr. Lu, which made him feel very embarrassed. He had never been so humiliated before and just wanted to run away.
…
Lin Shu wrote two chapters in one breath, made some minor modifications and posted the new chapters. When he looked at the backstage after the operation, he was stunned.
Before the update, there were a total of 5 messages in his comment section, but now, there are more than 200. Lin Shu refreshed the page again and found that there were more than 300 comments.
He was a little confused.
[Haha, the writing is okay, but the plot is nonsense. 】
[The author is quite smart. He didn't write about nutritional supplements this time. But the Chinese salt and pepper pork ribs are just gimmicks in my opinion. Some fools fell for them. 】
[I'm just reading the article, why is the person above taking it so seriously? 】
[Writing like this is a desecration of delicious food, I won’t allow it! ! ! 】
[No way, is there really anyone drooling after reading this article? It's just random writing at first glance, and the new chapter is even worse. It's not enough to just make up salt and pepper pork ribs, there's also mapo tofu, beggar's chicken, braised fish head, and chicken roasted with lotus leaves and soil. Who doesn't know the word "soil"? Who are you trying to make laugh to death with these delicacies made from mud? 】
[It can only fool fools who have never seen the world.] 】
[The plot is good, and the description of the food is so whimsical. 】
The comment section was filled with heated arguments, with most people mocking the food he wrote about as imaginary. However, there were a few comments clamoring to eat the salt and pepper pork ribs and mapo tofu in the article, but they were drowned out by the mocking voices.
Lin Shu browsed for a long time before he realized that someone had promoted his article on the forum.
He can be laughed at, but salt and pepper pork ribs and mapo tofu must never be laughed at.
Lin Shu then responded to one of the comments: "If there is a chance, I can do it."
After thinking for a moment, he added, "You can also try it at home. The ingredients are all in the text."
【? ? ? You must be crazy about becoming famous. 】
[The author's skill in deceiving fools has reached the pinnacle.] 】
It would have been fine if Lin Shu didn't reply, but once he did, the comment section became even more lively. In the eyes of many people, Lin Shu's reply was like someone who was insane.
As the Blue Galaxy has developed to this day, the recipes of many delicacies have been lost. It's not that there are no food lovers who have tried to recreate the old delicacies, but unfortunately, the food they make tastes worse than nutritional supplements.
The high-end restaurants on the Imperial Star and other planets do have so-called old-time delicacies, but unfortunately ordinary people cannot access them. The sources of the materials and ingredients are all secrets, at least they do not fall into the category of home cooking.
[It’s so funny, is there anyone stupid enough to try it? 】
[A food writer in the online literature section seems to have gone crazy. Is this a new way of hype? 】
[Don’t even look at those who are trying to attract attention and clicks.] 】
Lin Shu's reply was directly posted on StarNet, causing a lot of ridicule.
There hasn't been much gossip on the Star Network forums recently. The most widely circulated news is that the Emperor Star Lin family is suspected of hooking up with the Xie family. The Xie family is a long-established family in the military, and Marshal Xie is very famous. The new generation of Xie Jue has been recognized as a favored child since he graduated from the Emperor Star Military Academy. He even became the youngest major general in the military at the age of more than 20.
Since it involves an old family, netizens are of course very cautious when gossiping about it, for fear of accidentally touching on core secrets.
When it comes to online articles like "I Cook in the Galaxy", netizens naturally won't be polite and sent Lin Shu the most unpleasant greetings.
Of course, Lin Shu didn’t log into the forum, so he didn’t know that his article had become a little popular on the forum.
The comment section was noisy and the forum was also full of curses. Under such circumstances, despite the shortness of the article and the fact that the author was a newcomer with no previous creative experience, "I Cook in the Galaxy" still quietly climbed onto the new article list and climbed to the eighth position as soon as it was on the list.
Although there were comments like "It feels so good to get a slap in the face for your scumbag dad" and "Doesn't anyone think the pace of this article is particularly good and you can't stop reading it?", they were all drowned out by the "author is crazy" comment.
…
Shi Juan was the first to read the latest chapter of "I Cook in the Galaxy".
The descriptions of those delicious dishes were very tempting to him, and the author's rhythm made him feel particularly refreshed. When reading this article, he did not have the suffocating feeling he had when reading "The Amnesiac Marshal's Love", he just felt that the diners in the article were simply his mouth replacements.
He just wants to take over the Lu family's bankruptcy!
After being accustomed to reading restrained online articles, it was hard for him not to feel fresh when he suddenly saw an article that was so straightforward and decisive.
But what Shi Juan didn't expect was that he just didn't read the article "I Cook in the Interstellar Space" for one day, but the comment section was already full of curses.
Isn't it enough to just be happy when reading?
Saying that the author is talking nonsense, isn’t “The Amnesiac Marshal’s Love” also nonsense? Which marshal forces himself on the heroine one moment, and then bangs his head against the wall in an attempt to win back her love?
How could the interstellar residents dare to put their own safety in the hands of a marshal with such unstable emotions?
Shi Juan expressed his thoughts truthfully in the comment section, and mentioned that he felt that "I Cook in the Galaxy" was better than "The Amnesiac Marshal's Love".
Shi Juan had no idea that by doing this he was bringing hatred to "Cooking Food".
His comment was intercepted and posted on the Star Network Forum, and naturally fans of the book "The Amnesiac Marshal's Love" saw it.
[Please do not go to Emperor Star to try to scam me, thank you.] 】
[After the huge success of "Amnesia", it was plagiarized several times within a year. Fans of the book have gotten used to it, but... it was ranked eighth on the New Books List and first on the Gold List... I'm too lazy to talk about it. 】
[Too lazy to say +1.] 】
The data of "I Cook in the Starry Sky" is less than one ten-millionth of that of "The Amnesiac Marshal's Deep Love". It can be said that every week there are new articles on the new book list on Starnet, but among these online articles that have been on the new book list, only a few can make it to the gold list.
What's more, "The Amnesiac Marshal's Love" is number one on the gold list.
Fans of "Amnesia" didn't even bother to give a glance at the copycat version of "Cooking".
Of course, due to the hatred that Lin Shu actively attracted and the hatred that Shi Juan attracted for him, the comment section of "Cooking Food" was filled with ridicule every day after the update.
It's just a new article, but the average number of comments per chapter has reached 5,000.
What is even more striking is that although 90% of the 5,000 comments are mocking, the average number of clicks on the new chapters of "Cooking Food" is over 50,000.
Although - every reader who left a message said that they would definitely not read this article.
[…So, who is secretly reading the article? 】
[Didn’t you say that you won’t pay attention to traffic? Where do all these clicks come from? 】
[…Actually, the plot is not that bad. It was so enjoyable to see Father Lu and the illegitimate son blaming each other. The scumbag will get his comeuppance hahaha. He had a stroke, the medical robots were useless, and when they went to rescue him, the hovercraft broke down hahaha. 】
[It turns out I am not alone.] 】
[Father Lu and Lu Di quarreled first, then Lu Di and Qi Junze quarreled, and the lover sold out Father Lu directly after his investment failed. Each of these chapters is a hot topic and I couldn't stop reading. 】
After publishing fifteen chapters, "I Cook in the Stars" has climbed to second place on the new book list, and the first place is a new book by a regular on the gold list.
It is already quite remarkable for a new author to achieve such results.
This result also exceeded Lin Shu's expectations. After all, it was his first article, and Lin Shu was mentally prepared to accumulate readers. The result was not important, as long as he could make himself familiar to readers.
It’s better with heat.
As for those comments in the comment section saying that he had successfully hyped himself up, Lin Shu simply ignored them.
…
Once a new book has 15 chapters published, usually a company will invite the author to sign a contract. As long as the quality of the article is good and can attract a certain number of readers, the company will not mind the invitation.
Compared with the profits brought by the contract, the costs paid by the online literature company are quite limited.
This book "I Cook in the Stars" meets the definition of black and red, but no matter what, black and red is also red.
Lin Shu opened the author newsletter and found that three companies had sent him invitations.
These three are all large online literature companies that are well-known on Starnet. Lin Shu discovered them when he was browsing the online literature section. The works of authors who have signed contracts with various companies will be marked with the names of the contracted companies. These companies looked very familiar to Lin Shu when he was reading the articles.
The only thing that puzzled Lin Shu was that he heard that if a company invited him to sign a contract, sending a newsletter would be enough.
How come he received five of them?
Lin Shu opened the communication, and the first message was——
Sign with us and we'll split it 40% for you and 60% for me.
Article 2 - Sign with us and split the profit 50-50.
...You have six and I have four.
...You have seven and I have three.
...You give me 8 and I give you 2. Please sign it quickly. It can’t go any lower...
Lin Shu: “?”
Is this starting a business or doing charity?
What Lin Shu didn’t know was that at this moment on Starnet, a tag had soared from the bottom of the rankings and was now firmly in the top five of Starnet’s hot search list.
The tag is #Chinese food, successfully replicated#, and it has been read 89.99 million times.
Below this tag is the complete version of the reprint instructions, or to be more precise, the content of a StarNet serial article.
Salt and pepper spare ribs, mapo tofu, beggar's chicken, braised beef brisket...all the Chinese delicacies that countless people dream of are available here.
