Chapter 85: Vicious-Tongued Food Blogger’s Reviews

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Old Bull was a blogger who had over a million fans on a certain platform. He specialized in giving sharp and vicious reviews that were unique. Every time he started, he showed no mercy.

The viewers watching his live-stream were also there for Old Bull’s vicious comments, but that day, the bullet screen was filled with comments.

“Old Bull must be a frog in a well.”

“You’re a food blogger, yet you haven’t watched his competition match that had such a high viewership rate. Does that make sense?”

A fan spoke up for Old Bull, “Everyone, stop arguing. Maybe he’s using this as a hook. Old Bull has always been like this. It’s just for the effect of the video.”

“He’s quite immoral. He’s already in his thirties, yet he’s still picking on a kid.”

“In my opinion, Xu Le should have been in first place during the competition at the expo last time! Why was he placed at second? It’s so unfair!”

“I agree. He’s definitely a genius. He deserves the gold award.”

“You guys went off topic, didn’t you? This time it’s about the store review.”

“Old Bull, fly bravely. If something happens, you have to bear the consequences yourself.”

A simple opening statement caused the comments section to become extremely noisy. It had been a long time since Old Bull’s live-stream had been so lively. It was as if he had found the trick to gaining popularity. When he took out his phone and ordered the dishes, he didn’t forget to say, “My, one serving of pork trotters costs 89 dollars. It’s only this small on the picture. Tsk tsk, everyone probably can’t even afford pork now.”

After saying that, he saw the comments that were criticizing him.

“I’m speechless. Every inch of land in Shanghai is worth its weight. The dishes haven’t even been served and you’re already spouting nonsense.”

“If you’re looking for trouble, why don’t you go to another restaurant? I don’t want to watch it anymore.”

“That child’s fans are too sensitive. Why are they making a child look like a superstar?”

Lu Yuxi had been silently observing the situation behind the counter. The content of the live-stream was still playing on her phone screen.

She was a little worried that this live-streamer would deliberately smear the reputation of the store and affect Xu Le’s image.

Inside, Xu Le was busy cooking. He did not care about what was happening outside.

Kung Pao Chicken, Braised Pork Trotters, and Mapo Tofu Rice were first served. Lu Yuxi directly served it to the blogger called Old Bull and said, “Here you go, there’s still some other dishes not served yet.”

“Wait a minute, little girl.” Old Bull stopped Lu Yuxi and said, “I saw many people in the audience spamming. They said that your little Master Chef had made a very famous Pagoda Meat, Osmanthus Wine Cake, and even some fish sashimi. Can you make some for me today? The more I know about your store owner, the more I think my review will be neutral.”

Lu Yuxi was so angry that she was about to laugh. She thought to herself, “Where did you get your thick-skinnedness from?”

However, she still had a polite smile on her face as she explained, “Hello, there are more than 60 customers waiting to eat after you. We can’t squeeze out any time.”

Old Bull shamelessly said, “Since we are in the same industry, I am considered a guest with an appointment. When I return to your store next time…”

“Who the hell is in the same industry as you?”

Someone voiced out Lu Yuxi’s thoughts. She turned around and saw the young man at the next table frowning. He stood up and said, “There’s still a difference between a food blogger and chef, right?”

Li Qing had a smug look on his face. The words “I’m not to be trifled with” were written all over his face, making him look like a thorn.

Old Bull was about to retort when he suddenly recognized who Li Qing was. He frowned and smiled. “How is it you?”

“Am I not allowed to come for lunch? If you want to make your evaluation, then do it. Be quiet and don’t cause trouble. My lunch hasn’t arrived yet, so why are you expecting to get any privilege?”

Li Qing reprimanded him fiercely, and Old Bull immediately made a shushing gesture, indicating that he understood. When he spoke again, his voice was much softer.

Lu Yuxi was rather curious about the young man in front of her. She nodded and thanked him before running to the kitchen to tell Xu Le about the incident.

The five Pork Flatbreads were ready. Xu Le was chopping the pork belly into pieces, pouring sauce over them, and stuffing them into the crispy flatbread.

Upon hearing this, he looked outside and recognized Li Qing.

“I searched him on my phone and found that the person who spoke up for you just now seems to be a video game blogger. He’s quite popular online. Are you two friends?”

“…We know each other, but we’re not close.” Xu Le handed over the tray with the Pork Flatbread and said, “Three people ordered the Pork Flatbread, and we’re still short of two rice skin. I’ll make them now, and you can serve these first.”

“Okay.”

After Lu Yuxi finished delivering the meal, she clicked into Old Bull’s live-stream and saw the bullet screen filled with “Hahahaha”.

Old Bull held a plate of braised pork trotter that was bigger than his face and said with a surprised expression, “Why is it so big? It looks like three people can’t even finish it. This boss is too honest.”

He tried his best to save his face and pushed the braised pork trotter to the side with an awkward expression. He said, “I’ll try that one last. It’s too embarrassing. Guys, let me help you taste this Mapo Tofu Rice first.”

Old Bull took a bite and his expression immediately revealed how delicious the rice was. After he swallowed it, he took two more bites.

He said, “I was too careless, guys. This rice is the best-selling dish in their restaurant. I finally understand why so many people are ordering it today. It’s too appetizing!”

“The tofu is very tender, and it will break with just a touch, but everyone, look…” Old Bull brought the plate closer to the camera and said,” Such tender tofu is wrapped in fresh and spicy sauce. It tastes very good, and did you guys see it? The tofu on top of the rice is clear and distinct. There are edges and corners, but it didn’t break at all. This is too magical! “

Old Bull then tasted the Kung Pao Chicken and Tomato Egg Soup. They were both authentic and delicious. There was nothing he could pick out from the dishes.

This made him feel extremely embarrassed. He kept mumbling, “My image is about to collapse today.”

Someone came over to order food. Lu Yuxi could only put down her phone and smile politely. “Hello, are you dining here?”

After all, there were elderly and children who did not know how to use their phones to order on the app. Therefore, Lu Yuxi left a menu in front of the cashier.

“No, I saw the recruitment notice posted outside. You are looking to hire a cleaner, is it to wash the dishes?”

Lu Yuxi heaved a sigh of relief. She had been collecting money and cleaning every day, so she was really too busy. Of course, it was a good thing that they could hire a cleaner. She was about to call Xu Le.

She suddenly remembered that Xu Le had already given her the right to hire. Hence, she said, “Auntie, please take a seat first. Can I ask about your age? I still have some details to tell you.”

“Under normal circumstances, there’s no need to wash the dishes. There’s a dishwasher. Your main job will be wiping the tables and cleaning the hall..”
