[Make-up updates for all my leaves in May]

“Yibu, where should we start our culinary adventure today?”

On the deck, Little Orange, who is on the third cruise ship to the “Yueyu Cruise Ship”, turns her head to look at Yibu beside her.

The selfie stick in her hand was already working, and the live streaming had already begun.

” Didn’t we agree that we would try the skills of the Spirit Chef named Luo Xian?” Yibu hooked Little Orange’s hand with a smile on her face, full of expectation.

Mmm…

Let’s hope the dishes he prepares are spicy as well!

“That’s fine.” Little Orange nodded.

Luo Xian is currently First Place in the All-Age Group, and this first place is quite legendary, as he was able to make a comeback from behind, so his culinary skills must be very high.

However, when the viewers in the live streaming room heard the discussion between the two women, they started to stir.

(Boss Qin: You called someone else sweetie-pie yesterday, and today you’ve thrown yourself into someone else’s arms.)

(Boss Qin: If Orange is going to act like this, it would be better if she just ignored me. It makes me look like I’m making a fuss over nothing.) (Boss Qin is about to storm the live streaming room!)

(…)

“What’s this!” Looking at the playful comments from viewers in the live streaming room, Little Orange couldn’t help but pout, “Boss Qin wouldn’t do that! After tasting Luo Xian’s delicious food, I still want to line up to taste the improved version of the Crab Roe Fried Rice!

She is chatting leisurely with the viewers when suddenly Yibu at her side nudges Little Orange’s arm. “Orange, Orange, look at this!

“Hmm?” Orange turned her head to look at the mobile phone screen raised by Yibu. An article title looming big and eye-catching on it.

“The Four Types of Crab Roe Rice Represent a Relentless Pursuit of Culinary Excellence!”

“Four Types of Crab Roe Rice?!” Little Orange blinked her eyes.

For a moment, the image of Qin Lang appeared in her mind.

The most popular dish at Qin Lang’s stall has long been one of his trademarks.

The crab roe fried rice mentioned in this article couldn’t be referring to anything else.

But…

What the hell is ‘four types’?

Including the original version and the improved version, there are only two types altogether, right?

This string of titles also appeared in the live streaming room, triggering a lot of discussion among the comments.

Clearly, Little Orange isn’t the only one who is confused.

Just then, a comment caught everyone’s attention.

(I’m already in front of Boss Qin’s stall, the Crab Roe Fried Rice has changed again!)

A wave of excited chatters ensued as everyone saw this comment, and the whole comment section erupted.

Meanwhile, Little Orange had just finished reading the entire article and understood what had happened.

“I know the situation!” Seeing the comments in the live streaming room, she quickly spoke up, “Boss Qin has introduced a unique seasoning called Crab Vinegar today, providing a brand new taste when it’s paired with Crab Roe Fried Rice.”

“And this Crab Vinegar is added by the food guests themselves!

“The four flavors refer to the original and spicy versions, with or without Crab Vinegar.”

Upon hearing Little Orange’s explanation, those in the live streaming room who were puzzled about the “Four Types of Crab Roe Rice” had their questions answered.

But a new confusion arose.

(Add your own seasonings. It’s common at snack stalls, but the chefs in the Leaping Fish Banquet are all talented Spirit Chefs. Can you really add your own seasonings?)

(But it sounds great. This means I played a part in the preparation of the Crab Roe Fried Rice, right?)

(I’m even more curious about that seasoning called Crab Vinegar. What is it? I know vinegar, but what’s Crab Vinegar?)

(…)

With all these questions coming at her, Little Orange found it hard to keep up, and eventually threw the link to the article in the live streaming room.

After reading the article, more and more viewers in the live streaming room urged Little Orange to hurry up and give it a try.

“This…” Little Orange blinked her eyes.

“Orange, let’s change the plan! I also want to go to Boss Qin’s stall!” Yibu next to her shook Little Orange’s hand.

“Alright then, let’s change the plan, go to Boss Qin first, then to Boss Luo!” After considering, Little Orange decided to go with the flow.

“Excuse me.”

At this moment, a low voice came from the side. “I overheard you talking about Boss Qin. What happened to his stall?”

It was a middle-aged man with a curious face, who was apparently not unfamiliar with Qin Lang’s stall.

“Uncle, this is what happened.” Little Orange smiled and explained the situation.

“There’s something new again, Crab Vinegar!” Much to no surprise, the man showed a thrilled and expectant expression.

“Huh? Uncle, what happened to your ear?” Yibu, who is observant, noted that the middle-aged man’s ear was very red. She couldn’t help but asked in curiosity.

“Um… nothing, just accidentally bumped into something when I was going out.” The man laughed awkwardly and quickly covered his ear, “Thankyou, I’ll take my leave now.”

“What a strange uncle.” After watching the man go talk to his family not far away, Yibu took her gaze back. Looking at the approaching Yueyu Cruise Ship, she couldn’t contain her excitement and shook Little Orange’s hand, “Crab Roe Fried Rice, here I come!”

On the other side, Yan Chao took his hand off his ear and spoke to his wife, “I . heard that Boss Qin is preparing a unique seasoning for Crab Roe Fried Rice. It’s called Crab Vinegar.”

“Does your ear still hurt?” Xia Yue, Yan Chao’s wife, suddenly asked.

“Not at all, doesn’t hurt a bit!” Yan Chao responded without hesitation, causing his son, Yan Feng, to stifle a laugh.

“Let this be a lesson!” Xia Yue huffed slightly, her gaze full of anticipation as she looked towards the Yueyu Cruise Ship, “I must savor it this time.” Seeing that his wife didn’t plan to press the issue, Yan Chao finally heaved a sigh of relief.

The reason he feels this way is because of Qin Lang’s surging popularity.

When Qin Lang first started his stall, Yan Chao brought home some Gravy Seafood for his wife and son to share. They both liked it, so his wife often asked Yan Chao to bring some home.

As a henpecked husband without any personal spending money, Yan Chao made up a story and claimed that the Gravy Seafood cost 200 yuan per pound. Since Qin Lang sells his food at cost, and given the quality of his ingredients, two hundred yuan per pound isn’t outrageous, so Xia Yue didn’t suspect anything.

Xia Yue is often busy with work, often working overtime and traveling. Plus,

Yan Chao deliberately hid the fact from her, so she had been kept in the dark for such a long time.

However, all good things must come to an end. Yesterday, Qin Lang won First Place in the Youth Group for three consecutive rounds, and his popularity exploded. Plenty of news and information about him surfaced, including info about the prices of his dishes.

Xia Yue came across the true price of the Gravy Seafood by chance after work yesterday.

So that was the start of Yan Chao’s troubles.

Not only was his secret stash confiscated, he got an earful and a tweaking of his ear.

A glimpse of Yan Chao’s status within his family is very telling.

Looking at the approching “Yueyu Cruise Ship”, Yan Chao rubbed his ear. What kind of flavor would it be with the unique Crab Vinegar paired with Crab Roe Fried Rice?
