You said you'd just lie down and relax, how did you become a top influencer?

Chapter 7 Is he really a culinary god?

On the sofa in the living room, everyone sat together, their eyes filled with solemnity.

Even seasoned actress Bai Ge and veteran actor Zhang Lin, who have seen it all, looked extremely serious.

Only Xu An looked at the group of people with a somewhat bewildered expression.

When he came in, he saw several people gathered together, discussing enthusiastically what to eat for dinner.

He casually asked, "Who's cooking tonight?"

Then, as if a mute button had been pressed, the group looked at each other, and finally, without prior agreement, all turned their gaze to him.

"No, none of you can cook?"

"Are you kidding me?"

Watching the synchronized movements of the group, Xu An couldn't help but lean back tactically.

"Uncle Zhang, did you feel the atmosphere was a bit serious, so you told a joke to lighten the mood? Okay, okay, I admit you're great at making the show entertaining. No wonder you're a veteran in the industry!"

Upon hearing Xu An's words, Zhang Lin wore an awkward smile.

"Ahem, my wife does all the cooking at home."

Upon hearing this, Xu An had nothing to say, but fortunately, he wasn't the only senior present.

"Sister Bai Ge..."

Seeing Xu An's expectant eyes, the usually elegant, mature, and generous older sister couldn't help but show a hint of embarrassment.

"I'm usually quite busy with work, so the chef usually does the cooking..."

Hearing Bai Ge's somewhat weak voice, Xu An knew it was unlikely, but still asked with a glimmer of hope.

"Did you bring the chef?"

"……No!"

The two looked at each other in silence.

It's okay, there are still other people here!

Xu An took a slight breath, then smiled and turned his gaze to Shen Wanwan.

"Wanwan, do you go into the kitchen at home?"

Hearing Xu An's words, Shen Wanwan hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Seeing this, Xu An couldn't help but smile.

"Okay! Wanwan, you're the most reliable one. You can cook tonight. Just stir-fry a few dishes like you normally do when you're in the kitchen at home!"

"But... all I do when I'm in the kitchen at home is help my mom wash vegetables!"

Seeing the smile on Xu An's face, Shen Wanwan's fair face showed some difficulty, but she finally stammered out what she had said.

Xu An's smile vanished abruptly.

Xu An turned his gaze to Jiang Zhaoyue, who was standing to the side.

"Fine, I'll take care of dinner!"

Xu An said expressionlessly.

Jiang Zhaoyue:?

What do you mean? You didn't even ask me?

Jiang Zhaoyue, who had been avoiding Xu An's gaze, suddenly became furious, her panda print on her T-shirt bobbing up and down.

Snapped!

She reached out and slammed her hand on the table in front of her!

Several people turned their gazes toward them.

Looking at everyone's gaze, especially Xu An's eyes, Jiang Zhaoyue suddenly felt a sense of oppression.

"Hey, I want to eat scrambled eggs with tomatoes."

She said weakly.

"Just say you want to eat, why are you slamming the table!"

Xu An rolled her eyes at her.

Jiang Zhaoyue felt a little guilty, then suddenly realized what was happening.

Wait a minute, wasn't I supposed to get angry?

Why are you acting like a doormat?

You have no human rights if you can't cook!

Thinking about this, Jiang Zhaoyue couldn't help but regret that she had spent all her spare time sneaking snacks when she was a trainee in South Korea. She should have learned to cook.

The viewers in the live chat were amused by Jiang Zhaoyue's seemingly grandiose but ultimately ineffective approach, but most people's attention was focused on the fact that none of the guests knew how to cook.

Good heavens, in this huge idyllic cottage, besides Xu An, a complete novice, there's not a single person who can cook?

[This isn't normal. With the popularity of goddesses like Bai Ge, their schedules are usually so full they barely have time to sleep, let alone cook.]

[So, you mean if Xu An isn't here, everyone will go hungry, right?]

[It almost became a TV show about the contestant who could endure hunger for the longest time!]

To be honest, I actually want to see this!

[And there's Zize too! Maybe he can cook!]

[Making him cook would be terrible; the show would turn into Breaking Bad!]

Although he found Jiang Zhaoyue a bit loud and boisterous, Xu An still picked up a pen and notebook from the table, jotted down a note, and then casually said to the others, "Just tell me what you want to eat!"

"You can report anything?"

"Then I want spicy diced chicken, boiled sliced ​​pork, braised pork..."

Upon hearing Xu An's words, Jiang Zhaoyue's starry eyes lit up instantly, like a kitten that had discovered honey. She subconsciously stuck out her small tongue and quickly licked her plump upper lip.

"Stop, stop, stop! Are you reciting the menu here?!" Xu An quickly interrupted Jiang Zhaoyue as she rattled off the dishes.

After being interrupted by Xu An, Jiang Zhaoyue finally realized what was happening.

The dishes he just ordered were indeed a bit outrageous. Not to mention that Xu An might not be able to cook these dishes, even if he could, it would be a waste of time. How could he possibly cook them all by himself?

So, should we really switch to some simpler dishes?

Thinking of this, Jiang Zhaoyue couldn't help but feel a little discouraged again.

As an idol, his weight is always strictly managed by his manager, and he has to sneak around if he wants to eat something.

She finally got to be on a TV show, and hearing it was a reality show, she thought she could take the opportunity to eat something nice. The dishes she just ordered were ones she'd been craving for a long time, but... Unexpectedly...

"That's all we can order, no more!"

Upon hearing these somewhat helpless words, Jiang Zhaoyue immediately raised her head, and her dejected face brightened instantly.

"You can do these things?" Jiang Zhaoyue asked in surprise.

"Pretty much, I eat those things you mentioned all the time too."

Bai Ge and Zhang Lin, who were standing nearby, looked surprised upon hearing Xu An's words. Zhang Lin couldn't help but exclaim, "Little Xu, your cooking skills are amazing! You can make all these dishes!"

Although he had never cooked before, his wife had tried making these dishes at home before. The steps were complicated, and it wasn't easy to make them taste good.

"You weren't a chef before, were you?"

Shen Wanwan, standing to the side, showed a hint of admiration on her face.

Brother Xu is amazing! He can cook all these dishes!

"That's about right, just wait and eat."

Upon hearing Zhang Lin's words, Xu An revealed a calm smile.

Upon seeing Xu An's confident demeanor, the live chat instantly exploded with comments.

[Holy crap, Xu An is so confident, could he actually have some tricks up his sleeve?]

[Really? Other dishes are fine, but boiled pork slices are very easy to mess up!]

Could Xu An really be a chef?

[Just hearing about it makes my mouth water; I want to eat it too.]

I hereby bestow upon Xu An the title of Culinary God of Peach Blossom Cottage!

In the control room, Chen Hong looked at the comments on the screen, somewhat bewildered. She turned to the assistant director beside her and asked:

"Is Xu An really a chef?"

"That doesn't seem to be the case according to the information, does it? I remember he was still in university? Maybe he comes from a family with a strong academic background?"

The assistant director scratched his head and said uncertainly.

The doubts expressed by the comments and the production team did not affect Xu An. He asked Zhang Lin, Bai Ge, and Chen Zize, who had just entered the living room and was somewhat confused, to each order another dish, and nodded.

"That's all for now. I'll get ready."

Afterwards, Xu An walked towards the kitchen, and as he passed the toilet, he went in as if it were just a side trip.

After entering the restroom and closing the door tightly, Xu An quickly took out his phone after confirming that there were no cameras inside.

Let me order some takeout first.
