Chapter 14. Convenience Foods: Cook a pack of instant noodles late at night and add...



Ye Tian didn't want to hear him praise her anymore, so she changed the subject: "You seem to like looking for delicious food?"

"You may not know, but my family runs a restaurant chain. Every time a restaurant launches a new product, I have to go and try the dishes first. I was born with a different sense of taste than ordinary people. I can taste subtle flavors that others can't taste." Chen Chi said with some pride.

Ye Tian thought: What are you proud of? Am I not proud of myself? I am a super talented chef!

However, she kept her fame and achievements to herself, and said modestly, "It seems that the food cooked by our cafeteria chef is quite suitable for your taste. So, let's do this. When our cafeteria chef cooks something next time, I will tell you."

"Thank you so much, I'll call you sister!" Chen Chi said excitedly.

"Xiao Chi Zi, don't be so formal. I'm older than you anyway." Ye Tian thought of Xiao Chi Zi, who had secretly informed her but was shot to death. There was a hint of depression in her teasing tone.

Chen Chi finished his meal, feeling very satisfied. He patted his stomach and continued the previous topic, saying, "When you have time, I'll take you to my restaurant to try it. The food is quite good, but I'm a little tired of it. I always want to introduce more new dishes."

"Thank you. I will definitely go there when I have the chance. Thank you for treating me to dinner today, and the braised chicken takeout yesterday was also delicious." Chen Chi ordered a lot of food, and Ye Tian didn't want to waste it. She was also full, and the feeling was more obvious when she stood up.

After Chen Chi said goodbye, Ye Tian went back to the kitchen to help with cleaning.

Xiao Li's curly head moved closer to her: "Boyfriend?"

"What? Just an ordinary classmate. I'm busy making money and don't want to find a boyfriend." Ye Tian no longer had any desire for love.

She had loved someone before, but that person had only used her. Now that everything was in the past and her life had started anew, she might as well make more money and open a restaurant that truly belonged to her. Spending her life with a career she loved would be a kind of fulfillment.

Xiao Li said, "Okay, you're my master, whatever you say is what you're supposed to do! Master, can we start practicing next class?"

"What chef? You better cut the potato shreds first!" Ye Tian looked at him imposingly.

"Xiao Ye, how many years have you been learning cooking?" Master Sun felt very conflicted after eating the dishes made by Ye Tian today, and even began to deny himself.

Ye Tian silently calculated in her mind: from the time she was sold as an apprentice by her parents at the age of ten to her rebirth at the age of twenty-eight, a full eighteen years had passed. But she couldn't calculate that now, because she was only eighteen in this life, so wouldn't that mean she had been cooking since birth? So she said, "More than ten years."

"You are only 18 years old, so doesn't that mean you started cooking at the age of 5 or 6?" Xiao Li came closer again.

"Yes." Ye Tian nodded.

"Alas, but I have been a chef for more than 20 years, and I am still mediocre. I still think about innovation all day long. What's the point of innovation?" Master Sun sighed.

"I've been cooking for almost 30 years, and I'm still stuck and can't make any further progress!" Master Yun came over at some point, still holding the bracelet, but now a red sandalwood one. "In the chef's profession, talent and hard work are both essential!"

"Oh, you guys are so good. Look, there are even snack shops that are going bankrupt! I can't cook any other dishes except steamed buns and dumplings." Master Du was depressed.

Xiao Li added unwillingly: "I can't even cut vegetables properly, what did I say?"

Aunt Liu wiped the stove silently without saying anything.

Everyone was getting sadder and sadder the more they talked. Ye Tian didn't know how to comfort them. She had to find a way to cheer them up.

On the same day, Ye Tian also filmed a cooking video, still facing the stove, without filming her face. Of course, the video quality was still average and not very clear, but watching her slender wrist shaking the large iron wok was still very eye-catching, and her account gradually gained a few followers.

Lv Xinyi's career as a beauty blogger is booming, but she's also a smart and principled person who protects her reputation and will never promote uncertified products. She doesn't shoot makeup videos every day, but she does recommend products she personally finds appealing through images and text. They've also reduced the time it takes to film Ye Tian's makeup videos to once a week.

As autumn deepens, Lu Xinyi decides to give Ye Tian a milk tea-colored makeup look, using lighter earth-toned eyeshadow and blush.

After the makeup was complete, Ye Tian almost couldn't believe it was herself in the mirror. It was so soft and gentle that she couldn't bear to remove it. In the past, the makeup Lu Xinyi had applied on her was either light or casual, which helped to highlight her features, but nothing as gentle as this one.

As soon as the video was released, it received a lot of likes and comments.

“Bloggers’ makeup skills are getting better and better.”

"I feel like this model is getting more and more beautiful."

"I think the model is really pretty and gentle!"

"Any makeup will look good on you if you have a good foundation."

"A full set of cosmetics please."

"I want this model lady's account right now!"

Lv Xinyi smiled as she selected the messages to reply to. She turned around and said to Ye Tian, "Let's not tell everyone your account yet. No one will associate you with that chef. We'll tell you when our accounts are big. Then everyone will be surprised."

"Yeah, then I'll insist on not showing my face and firmly cover my vest." Ye Tian also became naughty.

"Hahaha, then when we join forces, we will be invincible!" Lu Xinyi grabbed Ye Tian's hand and raised it up together.

"Let's not talk about whether we are invincible or not. It's just the two of us here today. What should we eat tonight?" Ye Tian felt a little hungry, so she discussed it with Lu Xinyi.

"By the way, I bought some snail noodles a few days ago. Let's cook them!" Lu Xinyi got up and went to look through the cabinet where the food was stored.

"Okay! I'll cook it!" Ye Tian volunteered.

Ye Tian and her roommates have a small electric rice cooker in their dorm, but they hide it after each use, fearing the dorm supervisor's inspection. The school is trying to eliminate fire hazards, but the students also use it for convenience, so they're careful about safety. (So, the author isn't sure whether to use this...)

Ye Tian had cooked instant noodles and hot and sour noodles with everyone in the dorm before. Although she found the seasonings a bit strong, they tasted quite good. Late at night, she'd cook some instant noodles, add an egg, some ham, and a handful of greens. It was so delicious that the people in the next dorm would drool just by smelling it.

When you have no appetite, hot and sour noodles are also very appetizing, but the taste of soaked vegetarian noodles is relatively poor. Ye Tian thinks that if she makes sweet potato noodles and stir-fries some mixed sauce to make hot and sour noodles, it should be more delicious, but the conditions are not yet available.

At this moment, she used chopsticks to stir the snail noodles in the small electric cooker and slowly added seasoning. The taste was so touching that she was sure she had never tasted it in her previous life...
