A Top-Tier Life Begins with Sarcastic Phrases

Huang Xiaochu didn't want any help, and it didn't seem right for the three of them to just stand there, so they all moved a small stool and sat down next to Gu Yun.

"Wow, it's sizzling with oil! Gu Yun, shall we flip it?"

Tian Xiwei was very excited, gripping the rotating handle of the barbecue grill with both hands, eager to try it out. This was her first time making barbecue!

"No rush, wait a little longer. The outside is oozing oil, but the inside isn't cooked yet."

With Tian Xiwei helping him "work," Gu Yun was free to relax and enjoy his leisure time.

"Oh~"

Tian Xi nodded slightly, her face tense, as if she were about to do something very, very important.

Gu Yun was amused by her appearance:

"Don't be so nervous. We're not professionals, so there aren't many tricks to grilling meat. We have all sorts of seasonings, so it won't taste bad no matter how we grill it."

Tian Xi's large eyes blinked: "Huh? Is that so?"

He Ling and Jia Naliang also looked at Gu Yun.

"That's true," Gu Yun added a few pieces of wood to the oven. "As long as the meat isn't burnt, it won't taste bad with a little seasoning."

"This child is talking nonsense."

Chef Huang had only been working in the kitchen for a short while when he heard people outside discussing barbecue and couldn't help but chime in:

"Roasted meat is roasted meat, and roasted whole lamb is roasted whole lamb. You have to keep turning it; if you don't turn it, it won't heat evenly and won't taste good."

"Xiaotian, spin it, or it'll burn."

"Huh? Shall we turn now?" Tian Xi hesitated slightly, her big, dark eyes looking at Gu Yun.

"I won't forward it."

Gu Yun waved his hand: "Teacher Huang, you should hurry up and cook. I'll take care of the barbecue; it won't burn."

Huang Xiaochu scratched his nose, wiped his hands haphazardly on his apron, and walked out: "You have to keep turning around. I've read the guide the production team gave us."

"Huh? The show's strategy guide?"

Gu Yun looked at the production team, immediately started flipping the controller, and asked suspiciously, "Is this for real? Production team, you didn't give Teacher Huang a pirated guide, did you?"

"The fire is so small, if you turn it, it will only roast for a short while, which is the same as not roasting at all."

"You little brat, you little brat, do you not believe me or the production team?" Chef Huang raised his hand to hit Gu Yun.

Gu Yun skillfully dodged, and Huang Xiaochu missed, but Gu Yun also gave up his spot for grilling meat. Huang Xiaochu looked at Jia Naliang:

"Come on, Liangliang, this job is yours. Gu Yun, that little rascal, has no sense of service to others whatsoever."

"That's right, I really can't compare to Teacher Huang," Gu Yun said, sitting down in Jia Nailiang's seat and pressing his face close to Chef Huang's.

"We had just met in the morning when they thoughtfully took Liang Ge and the others to the hospital for a medical check-up. All six of them went together, and the hospital even gave them a discount, saving the production team some money."

"Oh my, Teacher Huang is such a great role model for me to learn from, hahaha."

Chef Huang's face darkened.

Jia Naliang laughed so hard his stomach clenched.

Tian Xiwei gritted her teeth. To suppress her laughter, she thought of all the saddest things in her life, but still couldn't help but laugh out loud.

He Ling chuckled and chimed in, "Little Gu, be careful. If you talk about Teacher Huang like that, you'd better watch out for dinner later."

Gu Yun remained calm: "Don't worry, Teacher He, I've already thought of a solution. I'll take a silver needle with me for dinner and test for poison before eating."

Chef Huang turned and went back to the kitchen, picking through the ingredients until she finally saw the green beans she had been longing for:

"Hmm, these green beans are good. I'll cook some green beans for Xiao Gu for dinner."

After working for more than two hours, it was almost 9 or 10 p.m. when the group finally got their dinner.

"Time to cook and serve!"

At Huang Xiaochu's call, Gu Yun, He Ling, Tian Xiwei, and Jia Nailiang all came over to serve the dishes.

Yang Zi was called out of the house by the production crew. His smile was forced, and he looked preoccupied.

Gu Yun: "President Yang, you look terrible. Did you hurt yourself while jogging earlier?"

[King of Jokes +1]

Yang Zi was speechless. "Why do I look so pale? Don't you know?"

Merlin and Huang Shengyi didn't need to be called; they came right from the smell, shouting from afar, "It smells so good! I can smell the coconut chicken!"

Chef Huang was very satisfied: "Come on, Mai Mai and Saint Cloth, eat more. This coconut chicken was specially made for you."

"Liangliang, here's your crab."

"And there's also stir-fried green beans with pork."

"I also cooked rice."

"..."

Chef Huang introduced each of his dishes to the camera, looking at everyone with anticipation: "Come on, try them all."

He Ling, being an old partner, was the first to "test the waters," bypassing the stir-fried green beans and pork in front of her, and taking a bite of the coconut chicken, praising it:

"Wow~ This coconut chicken is so fresh and delicious, everyone should try it."

Upon hearing this, the others also began to pick up their chopsticks and try it.

Gu Yun tried it. There were wood chips in the coconut chicken, so Chef Huang probably didn't filter the coconut juice, but the taste was passable and edible.

Gu Yun quietly nudged Tian Xiwei next to him: "Quick, eat more while there's still coconut chicken left."

Tian Xi blinked her bright eyes, full of doubt and confusion, but still put two more pieces of chicken into her bowl.

With nine cameras filming, Chef Huang desperately needs positive reviews to prove himself: "Don't just eat coconut chicken, try something else. This 'mock crab' dish, Liangliang, give it a try."

"I thought 'mock crab' was something with crab, but it turned out to be scrambled eggs, and it even smelled like ginger."

Jia Naliang really didn't expect that the "mock crab" dish was just a plate of scrambled eggs. He picked up a large portion of the eggs with his chopsticks and put it into his bowl.

"Yes, it's just minced ginger stir-fried with eggs, it looks like it's stir-fried with crab meat."

He Ling added a sentence.

Chef Huang urged, "Teacher He is right, this is what Hong Le eats. Liangliang, have a taste."

Jia Naliang was an honest man. Although the smell seemed a bit off, he still stuffed the whole thing into his mouth to show his sincerity. After chewing it, he froze.

"Liangliang, how is it?" Chef Huang asked expectantly.

Jia Naliang glanced at Huang Xiaochu (chewing), his eyes shifting from initial disbelief (chewing) to utter despair.

Chef Huang got impatient: "Don't just chew it! Tell everyone what it tastes like!"

Jia Naliang stuffed such a large piece of food into his mouth that he couldn't speak until he swallowed it.

But this stuff is both fishy and bitter. He had just had his stomach pumped that morning, and the doctor had told him not to eat anything indiscriminately. If he swallowed this, he would probably have to go back to the hospital.

He dared not swallow it, and could only hold it in his mouth and pretend to savor it.

Gu Yun: "Brother Liang, why aren't you saying anything? Are you just naturally quiet? Or is Teacher Huang's crab-like dish not to your liking?"

[King of Jokes +1]

Huang Xiaochu was getting a little anxious, but Jia Naliang chewed for a bit, still not having the courage to swallow.

Chef Huang gave himself a way out, saying to the camera:

"This dish is meant to be savored. The more you savor it, the richer the flavor becomes. The longer you savor it, the more it proves how delicious the dish is."

"Oh~", Gu Yun suddenly realized:

"I said this dish is clearly scrambled eggs, why is it called 'mock crab'? It's like eating it and your mouth feels like it's been clamped shut by a crab claw, you eat one and you don't make a sound?"

"Hmm~ This dish is nutritious!"

[Critical Hit! King of Jokes +2]

Chef Huang's face twitched, turning as black as the bottom of a pot.
