Chapter 8: Unpalatable vs. Delicious
Ning Yunyi sat on a stool, with a small stool placed beside him.
Ning Xiaomiao sat on the top, his small hands obediently placed on his knees, half of his body leaning against his father, his large green eyes gazing at the gradually fragrant fish meat.
As the fish meat became more and more aromatic, the parts where the knife had cut began to tighten up and turn golden yellow, a sight Ning Xiaomiao had never seen before, and she couldn't help but want to swallow his saliva.
Ning Yunyi felt Ning Xiaomiao leaning closer and closer to him, his small hands also beginning to clutch at his clothes, and his milky white and slender face was made even more exquisite and beautiful by the firelight.
With a hint of baby fat, the feel was extremely good, and of course, if he was a little fatter, it would definitely be better to rub.
Ning Yunyi saw that it was about done, picked up the jar beside him, dipped the small brush in honey, and started brushing honey on the three roasted fish in front of Ning Xiaomiao's amazed gaze.
As the honey was brushed onto the fish, it was as if water had entered oil, sizzling and crackling, fully releasing the aroma and making Ning Xiaomiao's little mouth water.
His eyes were filled with admiration and disbelief as she watched Ning Yunyi, thinking, Father is so amazing!
Ning Yunyi was quite pleased with Ning Xiaomiao's gaze: "Wait until father sprinkles some seasonings, it will be even more fragrant."
Ning Xiaomiao nervously pursed his lips, his small hands clutching Ning Yunyi's clothes, his expectant gaze following the movements of hisfather's hands, not missing a single step.
Ning Yunyi flipped the fish a few more times, picked up the powdered barbecue seasoning, sprinkled it on, with two of the fish having chili powder added and one without.
The domineering aroma of the barbecue seasoning, combined with the oil and fire, wafted up and penetrated the child's nostrils, making him forget to breathe for a moment, and then he couldn't help but take rapid breaths through his small nose, his little head uncontrollably leaning forward, only to be caught back by Ning Yunyi.
The little kitten then obediently sat back on the stool, not daring to move.
Ning Yunyi placed the three roasted fish on the empty rack beside him and didn't bother with the fire, continuing to roast the wrapped chicken buried in the pit.
When the wind had blown the roasted fish to a less scalding temperature, Ning Yunyi handed the one without chili, along with a fish fork, to Ning Xiaomiao: "You eat this one, be careful of the bones."
Ning Xiaomiao nodded his little head repeatedly.
She took it but didn't eat it, waiting for his father to eat first, then obediently tearing off the fish meat with his hands and putting it in his mouth.
The hot air wrapped around the tender and smooth taste of the fish meat rolling into his mouth, Ning Xiaomiao didn't know how to describe it, only feeling that there was nothing more delicious in the world.
If there was, it would be the next delicious dish his father would make!
Ning Xiaomiao's eyes shone as she looked at Ning Yunyi, unable to help but snuggle closer to his father.
Ning Yunyi hadn't eaten roasted fish in a long time, and his hands moved quickly, and in no time, two of the roasted fish were eaten, leaving only the whole fish bones.
He timed it, waiting for Ning Xiaomiao to finish eating, then started to extinguish the fire, using a wooden stick to dig out the charred mud at the bottom, peeling off the mud shell to reveal the whole chicken wrapped in lotus leaves inside.
Suddenly, the hot meat aroma mixed with the special aroma of the lotus leaves wafted over, and Ning Xiaomiao also immediately looked over.
Ning Yunyi took the lotus leaves and the chicken back, burying the remaining fish bones in the soil pit, and then led Ning Xiaomiao back.
As the sky darkened, except for the lights shining in the villa, the artificial forest behind them was silent and dark, only the rustling of the leaves accompanying the wind carrying the special food aroma deeper into the forest.
After a while, the dark mass nestled at the foot of the mountain range opened its eyes silently, its emerald beast eyes gleaming in the night.
The next moment, it shook its body and disappeared from the spot.
It was only when it followed the already fading aroma of the soil pit that it caught a whiff of the lingering yet unfamiliar and irresistible food aroma, making it finally unable to resist raising its scarred big paws to scratch the blackened ground.
Finally, it curled up, trying to nestle the whole pit by the side, sniffing the remaining faint aroma, lying there thoughtfully, gazing at the distant bright spot.
On the other side, the bloodshed on the Star Network forum not only did not subside as the sky darkened, but instead intensified.
Fei Xue had already finished reading the recent events and the replays of the first knife's live broadcast for the past two days.
Unable to resist, she repeatedly reviewed it five or six times until she remembered she still had some work to do, reluctantly shifting his gaze.
Regretting going to what main star? As a result, she wasted four days flying on the spacecraft, missing the opportunity to participate in the tasting!
40 servings, if she grabbed them, she would at least have a chance to get one, right? Even if she couldn't get one, she wouldn't regret it, at least she tried to grab it.
Not like now, regretting but having no place to vent.
Fei Xue closed the replay, took a deep breath, and started writing the review. Although she couldn't smell the aroma, based on her many years of professional experience, this new anchor, even if it was a synthetic product, could be considered a true gourmet with his proficient culinary skills.
No, he might even be called a master chef, or even be awarded the title of a royal chef!
But this master-level gourmet was being smeared, and the people on the Star Network hadn't all realized this, but Fei Xue, who had been in the circle for so long, how could she not see it?
Although these black sheep were quickly suppressed by the supporters of the new anchor, in the long run, the uninformed public might be misled.
This was not a good thing for a new anchor.
How could Fei Xue allow such a future master-level gourmet to be slandered like this? As long as she was here, she would not allow such a thing to happen.
Sure enough, Fei Xue's guess was correct. While she was hurrying to write the review, muddying the waters appeared again on the forum, this time also dragging down the [An Zi Flavor R&D Food Group].
[An Zi Flavor R&D Food Group] was a well-established company dedicated to the research and development of various flavor nutritional supplements.
Its business spanned the seven major stars, not to mention the thousands of smaller planets that could be named.
Not to mention other things, just the recently developed Goulun species strawberry-flavored nutritional supplement had been a sensation across the universe.
Although the taste was indeed average, it was one-of-a-kind across the entire Star System.
This time, the black sheep behind the scenes trying to suppress Ning Yunyi's rise planned to stir up some trouble, making the An Zi Group step in, after all, they had spent so much effort researching the product that was now being trampled on by an unknown newcomer, how could they tolerate it?
The title of the post was also highly controversial: [Expose that new anchor who intends to step on An Zi to climb up, the behind-the-scenes manipulator is guilty!]
[Original Poster: As someone who knows the inside story, the original poster really can't stand it anymore and decides to reveal the truth at the risk of danger!
Many star people should have heard or seen the video of the new anchor's food broadcast in the past two days. The images are extremely tempting, using the extinct Goulun species as a gimmick, intending to ignite public opinion and become an overnight sensation!
But!! You people think too simply, the actual behind-the-scenes is a team, and the real purpose is to step on the An Zi Group to get ahead!
The evidence is that this anchor appeared precisely when An Zi developed the strawberry-flavored nutritional supplement, even mentioning the strawberry species in the live broadcast.
On the first day of the live broadcast, he didn't say these were all synthetic products, and even said the taste was particularly delicious, and that very night there were some who started to undermine it, saying that An Zi's strawberry-flavored nutritional supplement was unpalatable and cost 1,000 stars per bottle, just grabbing money!
But everyone knows how much blood and sweat the R&D team at An Zi has put in to let us change our taste buds? Isn't it touching?
So, knowing that the behind-the-scenes of this new anchor is planning to step on An Zi to become the new flavor food group, I can't stand it anymore!
Decided to expose all this! Resist the behind-the-scenes black-hearted manipulators!]
[1st Floor: Really? Is it true?]
[2nd Floor: It sounds quite plausible, could it be that we've really been used?]
[6th Floor: Speaking of which, has anyone managed to get the taste? How come no one has come to say what the taste is like? Could it be that they've all been snatched by their own people?]
[11th Floor: Although An Zi Group's strawberry-flavored nutritional supplement is indeed expensive, but the development costs money, and strawberry as a species is said to be extremely rare, so it's understandable that it's expensive.]
[33rd Floor: @An Zi Flavor R&D Food Group, someone wants to step on you to get ahead, aren't you going to investigate?]
[56th Floor: Calm down everyone, this is all the OP saying, who knows if it's true or false, what if it's just mudslinging?]
[66th Floor: @56th Floor, you're not one of the behind-the-scenes accomplices of the new anchor, are you? This is being exposed and you can't help but come down? If it's just mudslinging, why hasn't anyone come out to say what those so-called tasty foods are actually like? Can't they describe it?]
[67th Floor: You're the accomplice, your whole family is the accomplice!]
Soon, the water army came into play, and in no time, it had turned into a brawl with hundreds, even thousands, of floors.
They were divided into three camps.
One camp was observing, after all, no one had said what the taste was like so far;
The second camp was the black sheep water army, muddying the waters and constantly shifting the focus to the An Zi Group, hoping to get An Zi Group's attention;
The third camp was Ning Yunyi's supporters, who had watched the live broadcast, and although it had only been two days, they had seen the anchor's cooking skills, and even if there was a team, they had the ability.
The third camp finally couldn't help but fight back: So what if they're stepping on it? Isn't this the truth? An Zi's so-called strawberry-flavored nutritional supplement, damn, 1,000 stars per bottle, unpalatable and not even allowed to be criticized?
The behind-the-scenes black sheep saw this and immediately smiled, starting to half-truth, half-falsehood to guide it in that direction.
Soon it made it to the forum's hot topic: [Shocking! The new flavor developed by An Zi Group was actually criticized as unpalatable?]
An Zi Group quickly noticed, frowned, clicked in, and just about to notify the interstellar PR, but as they scrolled down the post, they saw one of the criticism accounts and their finger paused: ???
[2222nd Floor (VIP): Tsk, @An Zi Flavor R&D Food Group, that strawberry-flavored nutritional supplement is really unpalatable, it's just the difference between unpalatable and delicious compared to the fragrant pan-fried tofu. Who says no one has said what the taste is like? There were 40 servings in total, hiding and concealing is not enough, who will shout it out loudly, are they afraid of more people snatching them tomorrow? I snatched one, fragrant pan-fried tofu, one word fragrant! Two words very fragrant! Four words will make you drool!]
[2223rd Floor: Hahaha, who is this? So shameless, how much did the new anchor's behind-the-scenes team pay you? For you to be willing to show such a big face to black An Zi? Oh, it's even a VIP account? Probably takes at least 10,000 stars to post this, right?]
[2233rd Floor: That's right, that's right, we're all making money together, tell us how much you were bribed?]
[2244th Floor: Shameless, earning this kind of black-hearted money!]
But soon, the number of people commenting dropped sharply, as most of them just wanted to curse first and instinctively clicked into this VIP account to see the name, and the result was...
[2333rd Floor: Those above, don't curse first, you guys should... take a look at this person's homepage first?]
[2334th Floor: Haha yes yes yes, you guys go check his homepage first, this person is so blatantly cursing An Zi, I think after drinking their nutritional supplement for so many years, they'll defend it a bit, but this person is cursing so much, it's still credible.]
The uninformed masses frowned in puzzlement and clicked in, only to see that this VIP account was named An Du V.
Personal certification: Heir of An Zi Group, shareholder of An Zi Flavor R&D Food Group, Vice President of An Zi Interstellar Enterprise.
The crowd: ???
This young master An Zi was a tough guy, cursing his own company to death, not even treating them as outsiders, saying whatever he wanted.
But wait a minute, was fragrant pan-fried tofu really that fragrant? Wouldn't the other tastes also be amazing?
No wonder they only had 40 servings and not a single person came out to say, they're damn afraid of having people snatch them tomorrow? These bastards!
