The sunset glow on the horizon is like fire, and the afterglow illuminates the distant sky, adding a bit of inexplicable charm to the sky.

The noisy season is finally coming to an end, and darkness is about to reveal his hideous smile.

Zheng Xia sat on a chair holding the microphone, watching the people coming and going below the rooftop, as well as the reporters who were looking up and seemed extremely unwilling.

Compared to them, I am at least lucky. At least I can catch countless news and explosive points.

But……

Maybe there is a price.

Zheng Xia was indeed very convinced of Lu Yuan, and was convinced in all other aspects. However, ever since it was revealed on Happy Camp that the food Lu Yuan cooked almost made Shen Zhiwei faint, many rumors about Lu Yuan's cooking skills have been spread on the Internet.

Yes, these rumors are incredible. Some people say that what Lu Yuan makes is completely dark cuisine. Some people say that Lu Yuan's understanding of cooking is almost to the point of being possessed. Some people revealed that Fatty Wei once stayed in the hospital for a week because of eating the food cooked by Lu Yuan...

In short, these rumors made Zheng Xia feel a little chilly.

The photographer conscientiously carried the camera and took pictures of the rooftop, as well as the sunset in the sky.

He had naturally heard of this rumor, and even before coming here, his colleagues had warned him that if Lu Yuan really tried to show off his cooking skills, he must stay away and eat less...

But the question is, can he leave now? Can he still leave?

No……

He can't leave.

Chen Cong was slightly better, but after seeing Lu Yuan burning charcoal, he felt a little strange.

Before going up to the rooftop, he told Lu Yuan that he felt full when he was alone, and actually he wasn't that hungry, which was actually pretty good.

Lu Yuan suddenly came to Chen Cong and looked at him seriously.

"Young Master... do you look down on me, or do you not believe me?" When Lu Yuan said this, his expression was very solemn, and at the same time, he faintly revealed a sense of disappointment and sigh that was difficult to describe.

"No, Mr. Lu, that's not what I meant..."

"Young Master, I know that there are many misunderstandings about me in the outside world, and I understand that. However, Young Master, I feel that you and I hit it off right away. I believe you can see sincerity in my eyes. I don't mean anything else. I just think I can prove myself in front of all the audiences... and this is also a little bit of my heart." Lu Yuan continued to look at Chen Cong, very sincerely and seriously.

"Mr. Lu, I understand how serious you are. In that case, I'll just sit here and wait." Chen Cong was suppressed by Lu Yuan's momentum, and his momentum weakened instantly. At the same time, he happened to see that Lu Yuan had just finished cutting onions and had not put down the kitchen knife in his hand.

He thought of another title of Lu Yuan.

Yes!

He is not a fool, not a big devil, and not a pretentious demon.

Another title is...

Lu Manzi!

Yes!

He suddenly regretted why he left the bodyguard at the door.

He originally thought that Lu Yuan's company must be safe, but he didn't expect...

The most unsafe one is Lu Yuan!

"Well, okay, thank you for your support, I won't let you down."

"You're welcome. Just take your time. Don't rush. It'll be fine."

"Young Master, do you like spicy food?"

"Eat a little."

"Yeah, okay."

…

The sun sets and the moon comes out.

The weather in early June was very hot, but the cool breeze blowing on the rooftop was quite comfortable.

After helping Lu Yuan wash the vegetables, Wu Tingting went downstairs to do other things. Anyway, she promised Lu Yuan that she would come up to eat...

Wang Jinxue was busy in the office.

There is indeed a lot of work to be done in "remote" entertainment recently, so she is quite busy.

Lu Yuan was not worried that they would not come. After all, he knew that they would do what they promised.

"The flames must maintain a constant temperature. Next, I will take the Phoenix carcass out of the warm water and keep it moist to keep its meat alive. This way, when it comes into contact with the flames, its meat will become tender and fragrant..."

The fire heated up, and the smoke from the blazing charcoal curled up, exuding a different kind of flavor.

Lu Yuan's voice was deep and serious, and seemed to carry a strange charm amidst his vicissitudes, making him look particularly charming under the night sky.

In fact, after hearing Lu Yuan's professional explanation and voice, the photographer naturally had some doubts in his heart.

Are all the outside doubts false?

"Mr. Lu, is this what 'Phoenix Rising from the Ashes' means?" Zheng Xia approached Lu Yuan with the microphone and began to interview him with a very natural expression.

This is his duty.

No matter whether Lu Yuan's cooking is delicious or not, or whether there are any problems, Zheng Xia must fulfill her duties.

"Yes, that's right! This dish originated from the Tang Dynasty... However, the seasonings at that time were limited, so the taste was always a little lacking. I specially improved this dish by adding ginger, scallion oil, garlic, and a secret seasoning..."

“……”I have to say that serious men are indeed very attractive.

At least in the moonlight, the light from the charcoal fire reflected Lu Yuan's meticulous expression and his whole body was very neat.

He looks much more professional than a top chef, and his explanation is more meaningful...

Zheng Xia found herself hungry.

Yes, I was a little greedy when I heard Lu Yuan’s description of the cooking methods and the ingredients in the dishes.

She had never heard of this method of production. It was simply unheard of...

It has to be said that Lu Yuan's words were very hypnotic, and even made Zheng Xia feel a little impatient.

Is this really that delicious?

wrong!

etc!

But then she was startled and immediately became alert.

Is this the birth of so-called dark cuisine?

"So, your method is to separate the chicken bit by bit, and then put it together again to let the taste of the fire seep into it?" Chen Cong was also attracted by Lu Yuan's explanation. He came to Lu Yuan and asked him doubtfully.

Lu Yuan spoke so professionally that he couldn't refute it at all, and he didn't even feel picky at all.

Yes!

He naturally knew something about food, otherwise he would not have participated in that food competition before. Lu Yuan's explanation was really reasonable, and there was even a sense that he was opening up a new realm for food.

"Yes, young master, you are right, but you only know one side of the story. This is the truth, but it is difficult to control the heat. After all, charcoal fire is difficult to control, especially in windy weather like this. This tests a chef's ability even more. If you are not careful, this 'Phoenix' will be burnt. The Phoenix can emit flames, but it cannot be burnt by flames..."

Lu Yuan smiled slightly and continued to talk about his understanding of food, handling this "Phoenix" like a master.

He was in a very calm mood.

He had read in a cookbook that to make truly good food, the chef must be calm and integrate the person and the food.

However, when cutting the "Phoenix Meat", a trickle of sweat appeared on Lu Yuan's forehead, and his expression was completely controlled by this tiny detail.

Take it little by little.

Sublimating little by little, he then cut the "Phoenix" faster and faster, and his condition became better and better. He even turned into the protagonist in "The God of Cookery" and "The Cooking Master Boy". His overall fitness reached the extreme!

Yes!

At this moment, he wants to prove himself!

…

"Er Gouzi's commentary is so professional..."

"Yes, the content described in Lu Yuan's voice made me very hungry. I just had dinner and now I want to eat again. What should I do?"

"No! Lu Yuan's cooking this time shouldn't be too bad, right? Can a chef come out and explain whether Lu Yuan is talking nonsense or is he serious?"

"I used to be a chef at the Yanjing International Hotel. Let me tell you, what Lu Yuan said is indeed correct. His professional knowledge is also very strong. At the same time, judging from his meat-cutting skills, he has indeed worked hard. I don't think Lu Yuan is a dark cuisine."

"Yeah! I don't think so either. After all, a lot of professional knowledge can't be boasted about..."

“That makes sense!”

"It's starting. Look, his 'Phoenix' is on fire!"

"Yes, indeed! As a chef, I think his technique is a little unprofessional, but it doesn't matter, especially the tin foil he wrapped around the outside. I think it really does not affect the tenderness of the meat..."

"I feel the same way..."

The popularity of the live broadcast room of the video website has reached two million.

Everyone watched Lu Yuan explain while making the "Phoenix Bathing in Fire" dish. Although his technique was not particularly professional, some chefs stood up and said it was harmless...

In short, Lu Yuan's skill in speaking and doing at the same time is really strong!

This made everyone start to feel that they had misunderstood Lu Yuan.

Yes.

…

“Puff!”

The flames started.

Lu Yuan picked up the small stick, turned it slightly, and moved it in a very pretentious manner.

It does look wonderful, and the red flames on the edge of the tinfoil really give people the feeling of a phoenix spreading its wings.

Zheng Xia and Chen Cong were stunned.

Wu Tingting and Wang Jinxue, who had just come up, were also surprised.

Lu Yuan smiled!

For this "fancy" pretense...

Cough, cough, he practiced this serious and pretentious method for a long time.

He realized the hardship of sharpening a sword for ten years!

This is really not easy!

The audience and netizens in the live broadcast room of the video website were instantly frightened by Lu Yuan's technique.

Damn, this is really beautiful!

"Okay, I use the moisture in the tin foil to ensure the freshness of the meat, while also providing another strong flavor from the condiments..." Lu Yuan smiled, then slowly peeled off the tin foil a little bit, revealing the fragrant chicken.

Yes!

After smelling this scent, Lu Yuan felt very happy!

He did it!

right!

He really did it!

“Can I eat now?”

"Well, sure, young master, why don't you try it? No, let reporter Zheng try it first." Although Chen Cong smelled the scent, he still glanced at Zheng Xia.

When Zheng Xia faced the camera, the smile on her face froze for a moment, but after looking at Lu Yuan's expectant eyes, she finally took a bite!

"How is it?" Lu Yuan looked at Zheng Xia!

"It's okay, it's really delicious!" Zheng Xia nodded with a look of surprise on her face.

In fact, this "Phoenix Desire" was not as magical or mouth-watering as Lu Yuan had just explained. It was even very ordinary, but Zheng Xia nodded against her will.

"Let me try..." Wu Tingting also ate a piece of meat and nodded, "It's really good!"

The taste is just average.

Putting aside Mr. Lu’s vivid explanation and his amazing cooking techniques, the meat is actually very ordinary.

Ordinary people can do it.

but……

Wu Tingting felt that this was a huge improvement for Mr. Lu.

Yes!

She still remembered that a few months ago, her boss Mr. Lu always brought out something black from the kitchen, which was really unbearable to look at.

That's gotta be encouraging, isn't it?

"Let me try it too." Wang Jinxue nodded and tasted it as well.

But after tasting it, there was a moment of silence.

"How about it?"

"It's okay." Wang Jinxue also nodded.

She made this comment from a very fair perspective.

When everyone was able to eat, Chen Cong also picked it up and took a bite...

"How about it?"

"Mr. Lu...it's just average...not as delicious as what I cook." Chen Cong shook his head.

"..." Lu Yuan's expectant expression was a little disappointed: "Young Master, you can't eat it like this, you have to taste it. Try it again and I will teach you how to eat it..."

"Do you need to be taught how to eat?"

"Yes, to eat my food, you need to follow my method... Come on, try again..."

"good."

"Young Master, you have to savor it slowly... Yes, you have to close your eyes. At the same time, you feel this piece of meat entering your mouth. There is a wonderful taste. After feeling it, you chew it slowly, yes, chew it slowly bit by bit. The taste seeps into your teeth. Don't be anxious..." Lu Yuan's devilish voice sounded in Chen Cong's ears.

"..." Chen Cong suddenly realized that after Lu Yuan's voice accompanied the chewing of the meat in the corner of his mouth, he actually had a strange illusion...

It seemed that the taste was not bad? In fact, the taste that was not present when eating just now was brought out by Lu Yuan's voice.

Wang Jinxue looked at Master Chen and Wu Tingting and Zheng Xia, who picked up a piece of meat and started eating it in the same way as Lu Yuan.

Then she listened to the gradual change in the tone of Lu Yuan's voice, which penetrated into everyone's ears like a brainwash.

At this moment, she also had a very strange feeling.

etc!

She suddenly remembered that Lu Yuan seemed to have asked her some questions about hypnosis a few days ago...

She didn't care about it before, but now she suddenly felt weird.

Could this be a kind of psychological suggestion by Lu Yuan to Chen Cong, creating a hypnotic suggestion in Chen Cong's mind?

"Huh, it's really good. The way you eat it, the meat really has a different taste!" Chen Cong opened his eyes, his expression excited: "I want some more!"

"Okay! Just eat it the way I told you!"

"Yeah, okay!"

Chen Cong nodded and ate some more. He found the food tasted better and better. He even tasted a hint of sweetness.

This is really weird.

This thing is really good!

Naturally, everyone except Wang Jinxue also started eating with gusto.

For some reason, when they were eating, they could hear Lu Yuan's gentle persuasion in their ears, as if a magic sound penetrated their brains.

As for Wang Jinxue, she looked at Lu Yuan with a really weird expression...

This guy's cooking skills are improving very slowly, but he seems to be very good at fancy hypnosis methods?

etc!

Is this how the self-suggestion hypnosis method is used?

"Jinxue, you should also have some..."

"I'll eat after they finish."

"Oh, okay, then I'll start cooking the next dish?" Lu Yuan was very proud. He felt that he had finally washed away the title of the King of Dark Cuisine!

From now on, he will no longer be that kind of person!

"Um……"

…

"Fuck, what's going on? After listening to Lu Yuan's explanation, I found that I was enjoying the takeaway so much. I chewed the meat till it was rotten...how come it still tastes so good?"

"Me too..."

"Lu Yuan is too strong! I just had dinner and I'm hungry again!"

"Believe it or not, I was eating vegetables just now, but... I actually tasted the flavor of meat..."

"What?"

"???"

The audience stared at the screen, and they suddenly felt as if their minds kept echoing the sound of Lu Yuan teaching them how to eat.

Even when they haven't eaten, they seem to feel the taste circulating...

Damn...

…

Lu Yuan’s cooking style for the second dish was still fancy.

Still professional and quality.

But……

When Chen Cong took a bite of the so-called "best immortal meat in the world" with hope, his expression changed a little.

This is so fucking disgusting!

This is really disgusting...

"This dish must also be eaten according to the method I told you..."

“…”

"How is it?" Lu Yuan looked expectantly.

"Mr. Lu... forget it. This... I really can't get used to it... How about I try it?" Chen Cong shook his head.

“Eat it the way I told you…”

"This... I can't eat it no matter how I eat it... Mr. Lu, this is true, well, it's pretty average, how about I give it a try? I think this cooking skill is better than yours..."

"No, let me improve it. What link went wrong..."

“…”

After more than ten minutes, the improvement was completed.

Chen Cong continued to taste it.

His face changed.

It’s really not delicious…

After he swallowed it, he even felt like vomiting.

this……

The cooking skills are totally not up to par!

"???" Lu Yuan was quite confused. He also took a bite and said, "No! It didn't taste like this when I made it before... What went wrong? How about I improve it?"

"No, Mr. Lu, let me do it... You take a rest first, you are tired... I will do it..." Chen Cong's face changed drastically, and he hurried to the barbecue grill and grabbed Lu Yuan's grill.

The more Lu Yuan cooks, the worse it tastes.

I felt like vomiting before, but after doing it again, my stomach felt a little upset…

"No, you are a guest, you can't..."

"Boss Lu...give me a chance to show off my skills..."

"Okay..." Lu Yuan nodded reluctantly, "Then I'll take care of the next dish..."

“…”
