Chapter 33
The Cat Ignores
[Zhu Fei is ranked first. Is there a need to copy her?]
[Don’t go overboard, you brainless fans.]
[You guys are the brainless fans? She doesn’t have the necessary skills, so she plagiarized. How shameless.]
As the fans argued, Liao Ning suddenly fell silent.
The white cat had appeared in front of the food counter at some point. After it read the comment section, it roughly understood the situation.
Zhu Fei was a rising star in the ancient food industry a long time ago. In the past, before his brother and sister-in-law disappeared, he had heard of Zhu Fei’s name.
To put it bluntly, it was Zhu Fei and a group of famous streamers who brought ancient delicacies back to the public’s attention. They contributed greatly and were sought after by the entire interstellar community.
However, after ancient delicacies became profitable, merchants were unwilling to publicize the secret recipes they had painstakingly developed.
Zhu Fei was no exception.
Zhou Ling remembered that his brother and sister-in-law had discussed that ever since Zhu Fei got signed with an agency, the content of her live streams became more secretive.
Although her dishes were still delicious, their appearance became unsightly.
Zhou Ling had come into contact with ancient food culture during his previous missions and had tasted many delicacies, so he was sure that Liao Ning made the best food.
He came to Liao Ning’s side and placed a cat claw on the back of her hand.
He wanted to tell Liao Ning that she was really outstanding and didn’t have to mind what others said.
Zhou Ling looked up and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Liao Ning holding his hand. He thought that he had successfully comforted Liao Ning.
Unexpectedly, Liao Ning said, “Hehe, Little White’s claws are so soft.”
Zhou Ling was speechless.
Liao Ning pinched the cat claw with a blissful expression.
This wasn’t the first time she had been framed, so she was unaffected.
However, she was very touched to see her fans supporting her.
Since her fans had helped her so much, she naturally wouldn’t disappoint them.
She said in the live stream, “Plagiarism is quite a heavy accusation. I’m a little curious. How do you guys know that Sister Zhu Fei and I used the same ingredients?”
The paid commentors hired by Zhu Fei was at a loss for words and stopped typing.
[That’s right. I’ve seen Zhu Fei’s live broadcast. Other than the name of the dish, she didn’t introduce any other ingredients.]
[Why aren’t you guys saying anything now, huh?]
[What? You guys are too ashamed to admit it?]
In this situation, they couldn’t be timid. If they were afraid, they would lose, so the experienced paid commentors quickly counterattacked.
[I guessed it!]
[The white flour you use has the same effect. Isn’t it normal for people to misunderstand?]
[If the materials are the same, the taste will definitely be the same. We’ll know after we try it.]
However, the color of Liao Ning’s glutinous rice cake was different from Zhu Fei’s.
[Is that called pancakes? I’ve seen so many pancakes, but no one has made them like this! To think that you’re a food streamer!]
Liao Ning smiled when she saw these comments. She spread out the folded glutinous rice cake again, and the original square immediately turned into a pancake.
[This is pancakes! To think that the person above said that he had seen a lot of pancakes before.]
[Pancake: You don’t recognize me when I’m folded?]
[I was laughing so hard in front of the screen that I went crazy. How dare he accuse Liao Ning of plagiarism?]
[Hahaha, you’re awesome!]
[I support Liao Ning!]
[What about the taste? Since it’s not the same material as Zhu Fei’s, the taste should be different, right?]
[Yes, if it tastes the same, it’s plagiarism!]
“Alright, why don’t you taste my dishes first before coming to a conclusion?” At the mention of taste, Liao Ning became even more confident.
If they tried it, all the rumors would be dispelled.
Liao Ning rolled up the pancake and took a bite. Because the skin was fried until it was relatively thin, there was no sign of flour sticking to her teeth.
However, this didn’t affect the original taste of the glutinous rice. With the rolled-up peanuts inside, they were soft on the outside and hard on the inside. There were also layers of them, making them very chewy.
The paid commentors who opened the taste-sharing function gulped. The taste was completely different from Zhu Fei’s and they couldn’t help but want to praise it, but their professional ethics forced them to deny it.
[It tastes nasty. It’s much worse than Sister Zhu Fei’s.]
[That’s right. Even the cat is ignoring it!]
Zhou Ling was speechless.
He came to the basin, picked up a piece, and ate it.
He had wanted to eat it for a long time already.
[The cat ate it.]
[I can tell that Liao Ning’s cat has been holding back for a long time.]
[That’s right. The cat is probably thanking everyone for giving it a chance to taste it.]
