I Am A Prodigy Chapter 404

Hearing Zhao Liangying's words, everyone shifted their gaze onto Ye Lingchen and silently judged him.

Zhao Liangying did not need to lie, but for her to remember it with such fondness… Was Ye Lingchen's culinary skills that amazing?

“God Ye, why don't you show us your skills and let us have a taste?” He Jia immediately suggested.

Zhao Liangying's eyes glowed brightly. Just the thought of tasting Ye Lingchen's cooking once more made her brimming with excitement. “God Ye, are you really cooking?”

“No!” Ye Lingchen rejected instantly. “I'm a guest. What logic is this to have the guest cook? Furthermore, you have yet to serve me the 10 dishes I ordered.”

“Oh, that's right. God Ye, you haven't explained to us what those 10 dishes are.” Huang Lei followed up with his questions.

“They are the 10 famous dishes of China!”

Ye Lingchen's words stunned everyone. They did not know that these dishes were the 10 famous dishes of China.

“I've heard of the others, but what's a flying dragon soup?” Wei Daxun asked curiously.

“Flying dragon is an alternate name for hazel grouse. It's a famous traditional dish of Longjiang from the Daxing'anling Prefecture. Flying dragon soup is made by removing the innards of the hazel grouse and then cooking it in clear stock. The soup does not require any seasoning, hence preserving the natural flavors. The flying dragon soup is known for its flavorful meat and high nutritional value, making it suitable as restorative soup,” Ye Lingchen explained, educating the group.

“Then what about steamed preserved meats?” Zhao Liangying asked.

“Steamed preserved meats would usually make use of dry-cured pork, chicken and fish in a dish, adding to it—” Ye Lingchen stopped explaining halfway. “Why am I explaining all this to you? It's not like you'll understand it!”

With that, he ignored the group and walked in with his luggage. “Where's my room?”

“Hey, can't you show some respect!?” Zhao Liangying pouted.

“Nope!” Ye Lingchen replied without a second thought.

[666666, I can only say that it's amazing!]

[Straight man. This is a steely straight man that will be single for life!]

[How dare God Ye bully our Baby Ying! You're tired of living!]

[Awesome! God Ye, I'll be your fan from now on. You're so much better than those bootlickers. I hope you can keep this up.]

He Jia courteously showed Ye Lingchen upstairs and led him to the bedroom.

In the bedroom was a huge Kang bed-stove[1] that was sufficient for three to four people. The blankets were also spread out with sufficient spacing in between. It was obvious the program crew prepared them meticulously.

Ye Lingchen unpacked his stuff, then casually went downstairs, bumping into Zhao Liangying.

“Hmph!”

Zhao Liangying huffed and turned her head away. She could not be more obvious in showing her annoyance. After that, she coquettishly squeezed past Ye Lingchen and went upstairs.

'Huh, this brat must've forgotten who she's working for. Seems like I need to find a chance to remind her.'

Ring ring ring!

Right then, the phone in the hallway started ringing.

“It should be another special guest,” Huang Lei and He Jia said in unison. They then looked at Ye Lingchen who was standing next to the phone. “God Ye, why don't you answer the call?”

Ye Lingchen nodded. “Hello.”

“Hello, I want to order some food!” A melodious, female voice could be heard from the other end of the phone, speaking excitedly.

“Sure, fire away,” Ye Lingchen replied.

“I want braised pork trotters!”

“Not available.”

“Chili chicken?”

“Not available.”

“Sichuan boiled beef?”

“Not available.”

The caller was speechless.

The other end of the phone fell into a long silence and took a deep breath. After a while, she finally asked, “Why don't you have anything?”

Ye Lingchen kept his poker face, then stated matter-of-factly, “I'm sorry, but we have a special policy. It's not what you want to eat, but what we serve!”

The caller was obviously stunned. “Well…what do you have?”

“A great selection. The issue is what do you want?”

Ye Lingchen's calm voice almost drove Hu Yue'er crazy. 'What kind of person is this? I'm gonna explode if I hear another word from him!'

Toot, toot, toot…

Ye Lingchen could only hear the line being cut off. His brows frowned slightly. 'Girls nowadays have really short fuses. Ending the call just like that? It's very rare to find someone as polite as I am.”

“God Ye, did the special guest make any orders?” Huang Lei asked.

“Our special guest said that she'll eat anything.”

“Wow, this is the first time we have such an easygoing guest,” He Jia stated.

[What is this, I'm dying of laughter! God Ye is really trying to kill me with laughter. I'm going to report you. This is definitely a murder attempt!]

[It's not what you want to eat, but what we serve? Such logic. I love God Ye's confident bullsh*tting!]

[I'm in tears from laughing. I sympathize with the guest for just a second.]

[God Ye, you're really evil. I'm loving it…]

[Guys, go watch that special guest's stream. It's Hu Yue'er, another goddess!]

Right then, an SUV was on its way to Mount Li. A young woman in the car had her face flushed red, her eyes filled flames of anger.

She looked right at the camera and gave the order to her many viewers, swinging her fists as she bellowed, “I'll have you know that I, Hu Yue'er, will definitely have my revenge! A vicious revenge!”

[Killing intent. I can feel the killing intent!]

[I've heard that Hu Yue'er is of Mongolian descent. She'll definitely seek revenge.]

[Wahahaha, a clash between a beauty and a handsome guy. I wonder where you'll be seeking your revenge. On the bed?]

[Previous post, the old driver is starting his journey[2]. Everyone, buckle up! I just want to say that if it happens on the bed, I want to be an observer!]

[Observer +1.]

[Observer +2.]

[Observer +10086.]

[Let me out of here. This is not a bus to the daycare…]

Ye Lingchen walked out of the Mushroom Hut and went to a gazebo right outside. He made himself a cup of tea and slowly enjoyed it there.

The Mushroom Hut was located on a high point. It was the highest building in Green Grass Village. The gazebo was built next to the cliff on the mountain. From there, one could oversee the entire Green Grass Village in one glance. With the mountain being wrapped in mist, it offered quite a breathtaking view.

Ye Lingchen held the tea in his hand. Given the surrounding environment, his figure turned into part of the beautiful tapestry of the scenic view, standing out from the material world.

This place was much better than the highrises of the cities. Only here would one be able to truly look over the world. As Ye Lingchen was lost in his thoughts, he could feel the speed of his Qi Refining going much faster than normal.

[Wah! He's really graceful!]

[God Ye feels like some enlightened wise man. Such otherworldly grace is not found in most people.]

[Didn't you guys notice God Ye's posture when he made his tea? It was extremely on point. He's definitely someone with exquisite taste.]

[Screenshot is made. I must save this as my background. I'll lick my screen every day from now on!]

[I suddenly find God Ye very lovable. This environment makes one reluctant to disturb.]

Ye Lingchen's various tricks caused his online viewers to exceed 200 thousand as his fanbase grew…
