Chapter 969: A Waste of Excellent Ingredients
Who the h.e.l.l wanted his money? Great, they were coming one after another to p.i.s.s him off. Were they not going to let the matter drop unless he dropped dead from anger?
Jun Shiyan was still waiting for a reply.
Huo Ci rushed back murderously. He looked at the person in the surveillance camera but did not say anything. He simply hung up immediately and the screen went black.
Xiaoqi frowned. “Grandpa, what about my dad? Aren’t you letting him come up?”
Huo Ci pointed at him, wanting to yell at him but he stabilized his emotions. He was afraid of scaring the brat. If the latter ran away too, he would really be the only one left. He tried his best to calm down. “Xiaoqi, he’s not your father. Your mommy isn’t married to him yet. If you call him dad now, you’ll be mocked by others. Don’t call him that anymore, understand?”
F*ck!
Who the h.e.l.l was his dad?
He had already said not to call him that multiple times, but he just wouldn’t listen.
Upon seeing Grandpa’s expression, Xiaoqi was a little scared. He did not know if he was smiling or being angry. He nodded and acknowledged with a hum. “Xiaoqi understands.”
However, Mommy, Dad, Great-grandpa, Great-grandma, and Grandma had not said that he could not call him Dad. He did not know if he should listen to Grandpa.
After half a month, Best Actor Huo started his livestream again!
The Little Cis, Peanuts, and spectators from all walks of life all ran over to support him. They thought that after half a month, the Best Actor’s culinary skills must have improved a lot.
After all, last time, his dark cuisine had even been taken advantage of by others with ulterior motives. He was criticized for a while. As a Best Actor who could not tolerate others saying that he was imperfect, he had definitely been practicing his culinary skills during this period of time to slap the haters’ faces.
When Best Actor Huo took out the ingredients for this livestream, some sharp-eyed fans started explaining them to others: black truffle, Iranian Almos caviar, foie gras, Tibetan pig, Wagyu beef, snow frog, Australian abalone, Bresse chicken, and bluefin tuna.
They were all the most top-notch ingredients in the world. Everyone was full of antic.i.p.ation as they waited for the Best Actor to show off his culinary skills and give them a surprise.
Xiaoqi had been instructed not to enter the frame, so he helped Grandpa get the ingredients and pa.s.sed them to him off-camera.
The fans in front of the livestream saw the ingredients run over one by one as though they had grown legs. The comments started flooding into the bullet screen; everyone was guessing who it was.
[Ling Sheng. It must be Ling Sheng. Who else could it be?]
[Strong request from me. Please let Baby Sheng appear on screen!]
[Ahhh, is this a live broadcast between the father and daughter? I’m looking forward to it.]
[My Baby Sheng’s culinary skills are superb. Everyone can see that. She must have inherited Daddy Huo’s skills. Go, Daddy!]
After that, Best Actor Huo, whose superb culinary skills were pa.s.sed on to his daughter, took out a pot, a bucket of mineral water, and a few bags of snail rice noodles under everyone’s expectant gazes. He threw them onto the table. The audience took a closer look. Durian-flavored snail rice noodles!
I surrender!
The onlooking fans kept shouting, “Take them away! Hurry up and take those bags of snail rice noodles away!”
F*ck!
What was going on?
Was he cooking snail rice noodles on a livestream?
“It’s not Ling Sheng. She went to her mother’s place.” Huo Ci explained directly to the comments on the bullet screen. It was also the first thing he had said since the livestream started. He took a look at the brat standing obediently beside the table. “He’s my grandson.”
The bullet screen was full of fans. Even those who were not fans knew that the last time the livestream had been broadcasted, Best Actor Huo’s dog had appeared once before; it was called ‘Grandson’!
[Impressive. This Grandson is really smart. I really want to meet him.]
[Old Huo, you’re awesome. You’re the man! Are you using these extravagant ingredients to cook snail rice noodles?]
[Caviar’s question from the soul: Old Huo, doesn’t your conscience hurt?]
[Black Truffle is weeping: Ahhh, I don’t want to be cooked into snail rice noodles! Who can come to save me? I don’t taste nice with snail rice noodles.]
[Bluefin Tuna’s eyes are full of tears: Huo Ci, I advise you to be kind!]
[Ci, it’s enough just to use chicken eggs. Really. Eggs and snail rice noodles are the perfect match. As for the rest of those ingredients, let them go!]
[My Ci is mighty and domineering. He has already put them all in and cooked them.]
[Let me ask you a question… If they are all dumped inside to cook, can they still be eaten?]
Ling Sheng, who was watching the livestream, had really thought that her father was going to exhibit his culinary skills. In the end, she saw him take out a few bags of snail rice noodles, pour water into the pot, tear open the instant noodles, and put the packet of seasoning in. She was completely fl.u.s.tered.
Ever since she had arrived at the house, she really hadn’t seen her father cook before. He would order takeout every time. Otherwise, the main residence would deliver food for him. Ever since her grandma and grandpa had moved in, the former was basically the one who had been cooking the whole time. She would also cook when she was at home.
“Mom, I’d better go back and take a look!” Ling Sheng said as she looked at Nangong Lengyu.
Nangong Lengyu was holding her laptop and working beside her. She also took a look at the livestream and looked toward Huo Ci out of the corner of her eye. She let out a cold snort. “He’s lying. He definitely won’t eat that kind of thing.”
That fried sausage from the last time had tricked her into going back. In the end? He had ordered a wide table of takeout. This person was so finicky. Why would he eat such food?
Ling Sheng looked at her father with a complicated expression as he opened the caviar and cut the top-notch Wagyu beef. She was distressed. “I’m not talking about whether he’ll eat these things. My heart aches for those ingredients!”
Her father had taken out the best ingredients and used them to cook instant noodles. It was a waste of excellent ingredients. The ingredients were all alive. They would cry, being defiled like this!
As a qualified chef, she could not bear to watch the ingredients be ruined so easily either. Seriously. Her heart was bleeding.
“What’s the big deal about these items? He can waste them however he wants. If you want them or want to eat them, Mom will buy them for you.” Of course, Nangong Lengyu knew what she was talking about.
The ingredients on that table had to be at least a few million yuan. Indeed, they should not be wasted by someone like this. They should not be used to cook snail rice noodles and stewed in one pot. There was no way anyone could eat them!
He was acting up again and again just to show her and Sheng Sheng. Who else would give him the attention?
When Ling Sheng called, Huo Ci put the Wagyu beef in a bowl after cooking it hotpot-style and gave it to Xiaoqi to eat. He frowned. “What’s the matter?”
“Dad, I’ll be back soon. Don’t touch those ingredients!”
“I spent money to buy this. I can eat it however I want. What does this have to do with you? Scram!”
“I’ll go back and cook for you. Wait for me. I’ll be back soon.”
Upon seeing Grandpa hang up, Xiaoqi’s eyes sparkled. In a small voice, he asked, “Grandpa, is Mommy coming home? Is Grandma coming?”
Huo Ci took a look at the brat, who was beaming with joy. Look at how happy he is. “You’re unhappy with me?”
Xiaoqi shook his head hurriedly and lowered his voice. “I’m happy!”
However, if he could be with Grandpa, Grandma, Mommy, Dad, Great-grandpa, and Great-grandma, he would be even happier.
