Chapter 488 - 475: You Won’t Go Hungry
Qin Yun nodded, giving Pei Yan a thumbs-up, and smiled with her eyes curved, "The taste is really good. Mr. Pei’s cooking skills are amazing."
Pei Yan took the empty plates and casually tossed them into the sink.
"Since the taste is fine, we’ll follow the same steps from before and make some more. We’ll send some over to Group B later."
He leisurely took out the marinated prawns, plated them, sprinkled cheese, and then put them in the oven.
Qin Yun nodded repeatedly, "Yes."
There were so many prawns caught today; feeding Group B wouldn’t be a problem, let alone the entire production team.
Qin Yun mentioned this to the staff nearby, and someone immediately took the remaining prawns out.
The private chef stated that the kitchen could help with the preparation, so everyone just had to wait to eat.
All the staff cheered, thanking Qin Yun.
"Getting to eat food made by a top chef means this trip wasn’t in vain."
"We’re benefiting from Qin Yun’s luck. Her luck is really good. I’ve been doing shows so long, and never seen a newbie with such good fishing luck."
"Qin Yun is awesome."
"Thanks, Sister Yun!!"
Qin Yun took the opportunity to have the camera pointed at the boxes of prawns, and casually poked Pei Yan’s waist.
Pei Yan kept working but asked her, without turning his head, "Want to eat more?"
Just now, using the excuse for her to taste, she already ate a plate of prawns.
Qin Yun covered her mic and lowered her voice, "I asked the kitchen to save some prawns for me, so we can have a midnight snack."
"Sure."
Pei Yan agreed without hesitation.
The prawns he baked were soon ready too. Li Ning and Bai Ziyu, under the guidance of the little chef, finished preparing the spoils.
They originally thought they’d be first to finish, but when they came out, Group B had already completed their dishes and served them.
Li Ning, surprised, said, "No way, you’re this fast?"
He quickly walked over to the big round table Manager Li had cleared, and looked carefully, "Amazing, really amazing."
Group B had chosen simple dishes that were easy to make yet looked particularly delicious.
Team A also placed their completed dishes on the table.
Su Yu’s ten invited judges were already seated at the dining table, starting with Group B’s first dish, and tasted all the dishes one by one.
Then, the ten judges gave their scores on the spot.
The winner turned out to be Group B.
"Overall, Group B’s dishes were very simple but retained the original characteristics of the food, with very fresh and sweet flavors. Although Team A’s prawns were very well done, the Leopard coral grouper was a bit salty, affecting the taste."
The judge pointed at the Leopard coral grouper Li Ning made and shook his head.
Li Ning’s face instantly drooped, looking a bit aggrievedly at Pei Yan, "Mr. Pei, I didn’t mean to."
Pei Yan casually patted his shoulder, "It’s okay, you did great."
Li Ning was instantly comforted, with an uncontainable pride in his expression.
Being comforted by the teacher and having his shoulder patted felt more exciting than winning the lottery.
Li Ning’s joy was visible to the naked eye, and his livestream fans were frantically teasing him.
[Ning, pull back your worthless look!! Can’t bear to watch!!]
[Hey, the kid’s still young, everyone please understand.]
[Not recommended to guide fans this way; it might lead to issues. Besides, I’ve never succeeded in fangirling, and I’ve become envious.]
[Mr. Pei is really just too nice; he’s the same to everyone. Who said before that Mr. Pei has a bad temper and is hard to deal with? That’s just slander, okay?]
[Calm down everyone, shows like these all have characters crafted for the show. Who knows what they’re like privately.]
[Let’s not bash Mr. Pei here, okay? My Li Ning brother’s fans aren’t envious.]
[Exactly, most likely it’s just people venting frustrations from their own lives online!]
Though the result wasn’t ideal, Team A quickly accepted it, and Group B won the leisurely choice for tomorrow’s task.
Everyone in Group B jumped up with excitement.
"Everyone worked hard, really hard."
Wang Li happily rushed over to hug Qin Yun, "Sister Yun, Sister Yun, I want to eat your prawns, ahhhhh, they look so delicious."
Wang Li had long set her sights on Pei Yan’s roasted prawns and rushed over as soon as the competition ended.
"Sure." Qin Yun glanced at Pei Yan’s prawns and nodded in agreement.
Then she looked at Group B’s dishes, thinking they looked quite tasty, and suggested, "How about we just combine our tables and eat together?"
Hearing this, Wang Li was incredibly moved.
"Sister Yun, you’re the best! Lin Yihan, come quickly, Sister Yun said we can have lunch together."
Everyone from Group B gathered around, Xiao Hu gave Wang Li a bemused look, "Can you tone it down a bit..."
But as soon as he turned to Qin Yun, his smile grew more sincere, and he said earnestly, "Sister Yun, I want to eat too."
Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere was unprecedentedly good.
Su Yu asked the staff to help set all the dishes on the table, filling it completely. Several signature dishes from the restaurant were gifted, all of which were Qin Yun’s favorites.
Pei Yan sat next to Qin Yun, with Li Ning, who always followed, on his right, and Wang Li on Qin Yun’s other side.
Wang Li and Qin Yun polished off a plate of prawns together, and she leaned back in her chair, stuffed.
Seeing Qin Yun reaching for mackerel again, she began to envy, "Sister Yun, if I had your physique, I wouldn’t be in showbiz. I’d want to be a mukbang host."
Xiao Hu teased her, "Mukbang is tiring, always thinking about what to eat every day."
Qin Yun didn’t know if mukbang was tiring, but she was doing well. However, eating a lot also has its troubles.
Eating a lot means needing a lot of money.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have eyed Pei Yan back then because she was hungry.
Qin Yun earnestly comforted, "What’s there to envy? Envy me for eating a lot? If one day I can’t make money, I’d probably starve to death. On the other hand, you wouldn’t have that worry."
Beside her, Pei Yan heard her words and was completely at a loss. Did she misunderstand her own status? Forget about him, just the Tang family’s love for her would never let her go hungry.
Moreover, wherever he is, he has enough to support her.
He immediately said, "You won’t starve."
Wang Li agreed, nodding, "Right, Sister Yun is now signed with Mr. Pei’s studio. How could Mr. Pei let Sister Yun not make money and go hungry?"
Speaking of this, she was even more envious.
