Chapter 57 Appraisal of Flawed Items!

"What's wrong?"

Xiaoyue frowned slightly, turned her eyes to the screen, and looked puzzled.

"Didn't you say you could tell just by looking?"

The expert quickly realized what was happening, his fingers flying across the keyboard as he left another message:

This meat was definitely cut from the original cut, no doubt about it. The key thing is, the guy who cut this meat is a master!

He paused, then added:

Could he be the head chef?

Xiaoyue's eyes lit up instantly. Had she accidentally found the real person?

She quickly adjusted her expression, flashed a sweet smile, and tentatively asked Tiger:

"Excuse me, are you... the head chef of Chef God Steakhouse?"

Tiger paused, stunned for a moment, his face darkening, and slowly shook his head:

"No, I'm just a meat cutter. The chef is cooking in the food cart!"

Xiaoyue could tell he was in a bad mood, so she wisely didn't linger and stepped aside with a smile.

Hide in a corner.

She immediately looked down at her phone and asked the expert, "Bro, are you sure you're not mistaken?"

This time, the expert replied very quickly:

His knife skills were excellent. The key point was that his knife was a kitchen knife from Li's Cold Spring, and it was a type of knife I had never seen before!

Li's Cold Spring.

He is currently the top handmade knife maker in China.

The key point is that it's not the kind of mechanical assembly line production model, but a model where a master craftsman leads several apprentices to hand-craft the product, hammering it one hammer at a time.

They don't produce all the time.

Instead, they concentrate on mass-producing a batch every now and then, and stop once it's sold out.

Every time they're put on the shelves, they sell out very quickly.

"That can't be!"

Xiaoyue muttered, "But if the meat quality is fine, please look forward to tasting it later!"

She was unaware of the hidden meaning and prepared to change the subject.

However, since she started out as a food vlogger, there are still quite a few gourmets among her viewers.

Those who know what they're doing will understand immediately.

Many people started providing feedback in the live chat.

Some people didn't believe it, but after checking, others were astonished to find that this type of butcher knife had never been sold in history.

"What do you mean? What are you talking about?"

Xiaoyue's smile faltered. She had initially intended to ignore it, but upon noticing that more and more people were marveling at it, she had no choice but to speak up.

The expert typed out another explanation:

He has access to custom-made knives from the Li Family Cold Spring, and his knife skills are excellent; he must be a great chef. The crucial point is, he's not even the head chef!

He's just a butcher cutting guy working for a night market vendor!

Even a five-star hotel doing this is a bit extravagant!

Xiaoyue said "Oh," her eyes darted around, and she finally realized what was going on.

In other words.

A chef who can get custom-made knives is already incredibly skilled. Such a chef would definitely be a head chef or one of the head chefs elsewhere, but here he can only do the work of cutting meat.

What about the head chef?

"Wow! This chef is amazing!"

Xiaoyue slapped her thigh suddenly and immediately gave Xiaobai, who was behind the camera, a wink:

"Hey Little Bai, hurry up and get some wine, have a little bit, haha!"

Beside Xiaoyue.

She, along with the stage manager Xiaobai and the cameraman, formed a small judging panel. The three of them would often sample food together and offer their comments.

Hearing the greeting.

Xiao Bai nodded vigorously, his eyes darting around before quickly locking onto Li He, who was fiddling with the filming equipment.

He went up and introduced himself, asking if he could make an exception and let Xiaoyue cut in line, or even go into the kitchen later to chat with the head chef.

That's how it works.

They could then film a complete documentary.

Xiaoyue could even follow Lingyun for a few days to complete an interaction, which would benefit both of them. She could find topics to talk about, while Lingyun could benefit from her popularity during this period.

Li He wasn't sure about this either, so she went to the dining car to confirm with Ling Yun.

Ling Yun is focused on his breakthrough.

He doesn't have the same kind of idol worship that ordinary people have for this kind of internet celebrity.

He understands perfectly.

When the tide recedes and the rocks are exposed, that's when you can see people's true colors.

Many things that rush in when there's a buzz are just a flash in the pan; they come quickly and go even faster!

He neither despises nor idolizes.

Ling Yun gave a simple reply, without even looking up, as he drew a clean arc on the iron plate with his shovel:

"The customers are the priority; if you're a customer, you have to queue. If you want to chat, you'll have to wait until we're done. As for further cooperation, we'll talk about that after we finish!"

Li He nodded knowingly and jogged back to reply to Brother Xiaobai.

Brother Xiaobai knew that this couldn't be forced.

If others recognize you as an internet celebrity, then everything is fine; if others don't, then you're nothing!

Those who use internet traffic to attack others.

It is very easy to suffer from traffic backlash.

He immediately arranged for someone to queue up at the back and get a number, while he turned around and went to Xiaoyue's side, handing her the sign that said "I've finished pulling all the way through," and whispered a few words about the situation.

He didn't try to hide his conversation from the viewers in the live stream.

Instantly.

Many of Xiaoyue's viewers felt indignant on her behalf.

Xiaoyue remained calm.

Her years of experience traveling around to explore different stores have taught her how to handle such problems.

She leaned close to the camera, almost touching her lips to the screen, and mysteriously moved closer to the lens:

"Dear moons, let's not rush. In my personal experience, shops with big tempers and all sorts of rules are usually hidden gems."

She stretched out her arm, raised it, and scanned the line with the camera:

"Look at this scale! It's no longer some hidden gem; it's a well-known internet celebrity spot, probably with more customers and followers than I do. Anyway, we have plenty of time tonight, so let's try some other food first. Today's goal is still 500,000 likes to start the game! Let's go!"

She flashed her usual smile, waved the sign, announced the rules of the game for the day, and then led the team to sample other delicious foods.

Li He stood under the awning, gazing at her retreating figure from afar, thinking:

Please don't cause any trouble.

These mid-level internet celebrities with millions of followers are also quite good at creating buzz!

After that, Li He kept a close eye on Xiaoyue's movements while doing her live stream.

Xiaoyue is very lively in front of the camera. The key point is that she is also a physically fit anchor, playing various games around food, which is very interactive.

An hour passed.

She had already visited most of the popular stalls at the night market.

Seeing that there wasn't much to talk about, Xiao Bai went to the food truck area, hoping to find an opportunity to chat with Ling Yun directly.

It's quite a coincidence.

Lingyun is sprinting at this moment.

He wanted to be able to cook ten steaks at the same time, instead of eight, while he was distracted cooking pasta.

The veins on his forehead bulged slightly, and his eyes darted rapidly between the hot plate and the stove. Unfortunately, his sprint was only halfway complete.

One paper only received an A+++++, which did not meet the best standard.

Successfully entered Jiufen.

There is still a long way to go to reach Shifen.

"You can keep this one; it's not very good!"

Lingyun gave these instructions as she served the food, her tone tinged with regret.

The deliveryman grinned, knowing he was getting an extra meal.

"etc!"

As if grasping at a straw, Xiao Bai immediately seized the opportunity and rushed forward, bowing and scraping:

"Hello, this is Xiaoyue's live stream control room. Could we have this so we can film some videos? Our people are in line, but we don't know when it will be ready!"

The mistress glared at him angrily, pulling the plate in her hand closer to her chest.

Ling Yun raised his eyelids and frowned.

You can't hit someone who's smiling!

Since the other party had said that, he felt it was also an opportunity to test their character.

"This one is of poor quality and doesn't represent my standards. You can try it, or you can film a video, but please convey this message."

"Understood, understood, I will definitely deliver it!"

Little Bai nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice, taking the steak with both hands as if it were a precious treasure.

After he left,

Ling Yun turned his head and instructed the mistress:

"Go tell Li He to film the whole thing!"

There were cameras mounted on the food truck, and the conversation had already been recorded. If Li He recorded their evaluation process as well, it would be almost impossible for them to smear him.

Over here, Brother Xiaobai quickly called Xiaoyue.

Xiaoyue rushed over full of anticipation, only to be told upon arrival that it was a defective product.

She gave Xiaobai a light push, sounding annoyed.

"Are you even useful? I waited for ages and all you got me was a defective product."

"Just eat it as is!"

Xiao Bai had already started distributing the cutlery without even looking up:

"I waited an hour for this one. If it weren't for this one, I wouldn't have known that these night market stalls actually have quality control."

Xiaoyue was amused by him:

"Alright, let's try this..."

She turned to look at Xiaobai.

Xiao Bai cleared his throat and said earnestly to the camera:

"Dear customers, this steak was found to be substandard during the chef's quality control process. It does not represent his final culinary skill. We are conducting a tasting of a substandard product, and this is hereby stated!"

Xiaoyue laughed so hard she bent over:

"We're still number one food bloggers who can critique flawed products!"

Li He walked over silently, set up her equipment a short distance away, and steadily pointed the camera at the three of them.
