I Was Just Cooking Whatever, How Did I Become a Variety Show’s Culinary God?

My name is Lu Chuan, and I just got laid off. Talk about bad luck.

To make a living, I became a food blogger, but there's something a little... unconventional about the way I cook.

Can't caramelize sugar? Pour in a can of cola! No time to mince garlic? Dishwater works as garlic juice!

I thought these “botched” videos would get me so much hate I'd shut down my account. Instead, they went viral. My followers scold me for “unorthodox nonsense” while desperately begging me to post more.

Even more absurdly, an S-tier variety show contract landed right in my lap.

On a dating show, I grilled meat with an electric iron and left all the female guests drooling.

On a slow-living show, I stewed food in a giant iron pot, making the resident “Chef Huang” question everything he knew.

Director: “Please, Teacher Lu, put your powers away!”

Top-tier star: “Lu Chuan, if you make me a special meal, I'll... I'll do anything you want!”

Watching the balance in my bank account keep climbing, I fell into deep thought.

I really only wanted to cook whatever I could to make ends meet. How did I become the god of cooking on variety shows?
