Xie Lan is one of the top 100 food streamers on a certain platform, nicknamed “The Man Who Stews Himself in an Iron Pot.”
Other people’s cooking streams are soothing. His are downright depressing
Depressing for the viewers:
“Chef Xie, are you sure this is sweet-and-sour pork, not charcoal-grilled obsidian?”
“Chef Xie, has your spatula come alive? Why did it fly off by itself again?!”
“Chef Xie, stop reciting the God of Cooking’s secret manual. You’re going to scare the Kitchen God into quitting!”
Then one day, the viewers were horrified to discover:
Xie Lan’s spatula could not only fly, it could also go on strike by sticking a note to itself;
Xie Lan’s caramelized sugar finally looked edible, and occasionally even glowed;
And his tofu carving... produced a merry-go-round (though it did collapse)!
Viewers: ???
Xie Lan (smiling): Thanks for asking. I’m in the kitchen, just finished streaming, and I’ve only awakened a tiny bit of a “food affinity” constitution.
And why can that mysterious benefactor [L], who has done nothing but send rockets and ask “Did he mess up?” from start to finish, always predict the exact moment disaster strikes?
And why has he... gradually begun appearing on camera?
Reader’s Guide:
1. A goofy, lighthearted fantasy food livestream story. Spatulas come alive, ingredients talk, and the God of Cooking’s old man has an unstable KPI;
2. The bottom is an unusual-constitution streamer with supernatural cooking skills; the top is a seemingly wealthy benefactor, actually the Star Lord in charge of food, and a powerful figure behind the scenes;
3. The romance simmers as slowly as soup over low heat, but it’s extra sweet, with no angst throughout;
4. All food descriptions come from the author’s hunger-fueled imagination. Do not try them at home, or your spatula might run away from home.
Nice, interesting
