A Top-Tier Life Begins with Sarcastic Phrases

"Pfft~"

"Hahaha~"

Ding Zhen's words finally made the group of people, who were already holding back their laughter, burst out laughing.

Yang Zi's face turned pale and then purple, but he was Yang Zi after all, and his shamelessness was second to none. He laughed along, trying to save face for himself:

"Hey, these young people these days, I don't even know what these internet slang terms mean."

Yangzi looked at Chef Huang.

Huang Xiaochu knew this meant he wanted Huang to help him out of a predicament, so he smiled and said, "Yes, the internet is developing too fast; I don't even understand the new words."

Gu Yun sat down in his seat, right next to Tian Xiwei.

Whoosh~

Xiao Tian switched the yellow sunflower-shaped electric fan to oscillating mode so that the airflow could also reach Gu Yun.

"Thank you, Oda~"

"Hehe, you're welcome~"

Gu Yun hadn't been sitting for long when the program's task card arrived.

"Welcome everyone to Tengchong, Yunnan. Here you'll find ninety-nine volcanoes and eighty-eight hot springs..."

Following the established procedure, Gu Yun gave a brief introduction to the unique scenic spots of Tengchong:

"With beautiful scenery comes delicious food, and today, let's start by trying Yunnan's famous mushroom hot pot!"

After Gu Yun finished reading, staff members dressed in Yi ethnic costumes, the girls singing and dancing while carrying small plates of food, and the boys carrying two large copper pots, came over.

"Where are the chopsticks?"

The dishes were all served, but there were no chopsticks. Chef Huang immediately turned to Gu Yun and said, "Hey, tour guide, don't just sit there, go get some chopsticks."

Gu Yun: "Teacher Huang, this is a Yunnan specialty. You don't use chopsticks to eat the mushroom hot pot until it's fully cooked, because it can cause hallucinations."

Chef Huang, with his neck stiff:

"I understand. I've been cooking for so many years, don't I know when it's edible and when it's not? Go and get the chopsticks."

"Once the food is cooked, we can eat it ourselves to avoid troubling them to make another trip."

Gu Yun didn't refute it, and followed the group to the manor restaurant, bringing chopsticks over beforehand.

Huang Xiaochu took the chopsticks and stirred the pot in front of him while casually remarking, "There's actually a story behind this Yunnan mushroom hot pot."

"That mushroom must be cooked thoroughly before eating; if it's not cooked properly, it will cause hallucinations."

Do you know that Zhuge Liang captured Meng Huo seven times?

Yang Zi: "Do you know what the connection is?"

Chef Huang: "This is the kind of mushroom that Meng Huo and his men ate back then. Speaking of Meng Huo, they were..."

Chef Huang got excited and kept chattering away.

Yang Zi, Jia Naliang, Huang Shengyi, and Mai Lin were all fawning over him, and the more they fawned, the happier Chef Huang became.

From mushroom hotpot to Meng Huo, from Meng Huo to Liu Bei, I just talked about whatever came to mind.

He Ling's lips twitched, feeling a little annoyed. "You keep nagging at the Mushroom House, and I still have to listen to you nagging after I leave. It's so annoying!"

Tian Xiwei didn't want to listen either, but since the other person was a senior, she could only force a smile and listen to their rambling with a sullen expression.

Huang Xiaochu: "In the Three Kingdoms period, who was the ultimate winner? The Sima family."

Ding Zhen: "Ah, yes, yes, yes, yes."

When I arrived, my agent said that since others were speaking too fast and I couldn't understand what they meant, I should just say "yes, yes, yes" more often.

Ding Zhen listened to him.

Gu Yun closed his eyes to catch up on sleep. He didn't care what Huang Xiaochu did, as long as she didn't disturb his nap. He had been a little excited on the plane yesterday and had only managed to doze off for two or three hours.

"Xiao Gu, are you feeling unwell?"

He Ling noticed Gu Yun and asked with concern.

Everyone else's eyes also turned to Gu Yun.

Gu Yun: No, Teacher He, I'm just a little excited about recording this show. I didn't sleep well last night and I'm a bit sleepy.

"You're excited about recording your first show, right? Haha, I understand. After you finish eating, take a good rest."

While comforting Gu Yun, He Ling changed the subject, as he really didn't want to listen to Chef Huang's nagging anymore.

"Hey, is there anyone else who reacted like Xiao Gu the first time they recorded a show?"

"Oh! I've had that too."

Tian Xiwei raised her hand to answer, just like a primary school student:

"I recorded my first show in 18. I was so excited that I couldn't sleep all night, and I wasn't sleepy the next day either. I was like I was on steroids!"

"Then the next night, I went to bed around 9 pm and didn't wake up until 11 am. My manager called me more than a dozen times, but I didn't answer any of them, hehe~"

Tian Xi smiled shyly, and the atmosphere gradually became more lively.

Jia Naliang, Ding Zhen, and Huang Shengyi all began to share their interesting stories.

Chef Huang was unhappy!

He finally managed to put on a show, and then he was interrupted!

Suddenly going from being the main character at the dinner table to a supporting character in the corner, you must feel unhappy, right?

So, his gaze settled on Gu Yun, who was catching up on sleep in the corner.

You're the one who made me unable to show off!

"Oh dear, everyone's sharing their experiences and actively participating in the show's recording, while the tour guide's sleeping somewhere."

Huang Xiaochu directly tried to sabotage the production team, subtly putting down Gu Yun: "Everyone here flew in, Yangzi, what year were you born?"

Yang Zi, being the shrewd one he is, knew immediately upon hearing Huang Xiaochu's words that he was about to launch a group buy for Gu Yun, and promptly offered him a way out:

"I was born in 75."

Chef Huang: "Born in 75, you're already fifty years old. How are you? Are you tired?"

Yang Zi was shocked by Huang Xiaochu's age, but out of respect for Huang Xiaochu's experience, she didn't lash out: "I'm not tired at all, not tired at all."

"Look, Yangzi is fifty years old, and I'm in my forties or fifties, and we're both fine, but this young Gu is just lying there motionless."

Chef Huang looked at the production crew: "If Xiao Gu is tired, she should go and rest. Production crew, shall we find another tour guide?"

These words immediately made the atmosphere at the dinner table heavy.

While Huang Xiaochu was saying that Gu Yun should rest, he was actually suggesting that the production team fire Gu Yun.

Everyone's smart enough to understand.

Ding Zhen... he's a snake demon in disguise, so he doesn't count.

Gu Yun never had a good impression of Chef Huang.

Gu Yun and Jia Naliang came in together just now. Chef Huang was very attentive to Jia Naliang the whole time, but he ignored Gu Yun when he greeted him.

Now they're trying to sabotage the show's production team again, they really think Gu Yun is easy to bully!

Dude, I was planning to practice my "sharp tongue" vocabulary level after dinner, but you had to force me to speak up?

"Teacher Huang is subtly hinting at something to me."

Gu Yun looked at He Ling and smiled, "Teacher He, although it may sound like I'm a petty person, you shouldn't have cared about me just now."

Everyone was taken aback.

Tian Xi blinked her eyes repeatedly. What was Gu Yun doing?

He Ling, being a top-notch host, sensed that Gu Yun might be about to make a joke, and immediately chimed in, "Huh? Why do you say that?"

"Hey," Gu Yun sighed, "Now that you're showing concern for me, your old partner at the Mushroom House, Teacher Huang, is getting jealous."

"Look at you, you're telling the production team to change the tour guide, and you're also criticizing me for not being proactive at work. You're just hoping the production team will replace me so that Teacher Huang can enjoy Teacher He's love all to himself."

[Perfect critical hit, scathing tongue +4!]

Everyone laughed.

But everyone has different things that make them laugh.

Those who are naive, like Tian Xiwei and Ding Zhen, are amused by Gu Yun's joke that He Ling and Huang Xiaochu's relationship at the Mushroom House is like that of an old married couple.

Those with ulterior motives, like He Ling and Yang Zi, are laughing because Gu Yun is subtly mocking them; Huang Xiaochu is just a sarcastic old man with a rotten backside!

"Seriously, Xiao Gu, this is absolutely amazing!"

He Ling looked at Gu Yun with eyes full of admiration.

Gu Yun's words were something most people couldn't say; this kid's emotional intelligence is exceptionally high!

Only Chef Huang couldn't smile; he kept a straight face and fiddled with two large copper pots that were still burning, using his busyness to cover up his embarrassment.
