That food critic had a beautiful style of writing, and he was so good at flattering Xiang Yi that he garnered many fans.
Once it was posted, Xiang Yi’s fans began sharing it and leaving comments on it happily.
Most of the Shisui Sisters were very rational and only a small portion of them began dissing sarcastically.
——[I’ve already reported your comment. Hehe, farewell.]
——[This is hilarious. It’s obviously a paid promotion, does anyone really believe it?]
——[How much did Vase Fairy pay you to suck up to her? Create a group and let us join you so that we can all earn some money together.]
—— [Do you have a problem? Don’t you have anything else to compliment about? What’s the big deal about knowing how to cook? I don’t know what’s so great about her cooking.]
Not expecting to have been slammed by the netizens, “The Frugal One” was dumbfounded and posted a few question marks in the comments’ section. Soon, the snarky Shisui Sisters began mocking him sarcastically again.
——[Oh, oh, he’s panicking, he’s panicking.]
——[They say that silly people are blessed by God, but fools aren’t~]
——[Seriously, does Vase Fairy really have fans? No way, it can’t be true.]
Just as “The Frugal One” was reading through the comment section of the post, a famous chef, who was also an influencer, shared his post and replied to it.
“[I’ll Cook For You]: From the perspective of a chef, I really take my hat’s off to this young lady. The first dish, stir-fried spicy chicken, is a classic Sichuan dish that consists of a blend of fragrant spices. It’s difficult to get the taste right. The second dish, West Lake fish in vinegar gravy, requires a good control of heat. The third dish of silken tofu requires excellent cutting skills that countless amateur chefs lack…
It can be said that she has displayed extraordinary skill in overcoming the difficulties of the preparation of each dish. For instance, stir-frying, which is the most common cooking technique, may seem relatively simple but it requires a perfect mastery of skills in moving the ladle, seasoning, and heat control. That alone would require years of training for ordinary chefs to master, not to mention the other aspects of cooking such as plating, the combination of ingredients, and adding touches of creativity to existing recipes of dishes…
Those who are not in this line of work may find the entire process entertaining, but chefs are bound to notice the superb culinary skills that this young lady has. I’m sure she’s the best among her peers and her skills are at the pinnacle!”
Xiang Yi’s fans: “Well said! Well said! Kudos!”
The Shisui Sisters: “Why is there yet another person who’s putting in a good word for her!? So irritating!”
The official account of “Chinese Delicacy Yearbook” released a statement on Weibo, which was full of praises for Xiang Yi.
“[Chinese Delicacy Yearbook]: She has extraordinary skills and excellent craft. She has given a perfect presentation of the various cooking techniques that are commonly used in the preparation of authentic Chinese dishes—deep-frying, cooking, stir-frying, stewing, boiling and roasting. This young and promising lady has done a wonderful job at promoting the traditional Chinese food culture. Neither arrogant nor subservient, she has humbly presented her skills with grace and elegance. Kudos to our “Culinary God” Xiang Yi!”
There were some people who mocked that statement at first.
——[What nonsense are you saying? You don’t make sense at all.]
——[Hey official user, are you feeling awkward? I’m getting secondhand embarrassment.]
—— [Vase Fairy has so few fans, but she went so far as to hire people to post such write-ups to flatter her.]
…
However, they were soon put to shame.
——[Sober up, this yearbook is far more impressive and prestigious than the Michelin Guide!]
——[Nonsense? Do you guys know that this is the definitive food guide in our country?]
——[Let’s just say, this is an esteemed magazine that releases only one issue annually. The restaurants and chefs that they have chosen to feature have all gained the recognition of the Chinese Chefs Association!]
In an instant, the Shisui Sisters who had been kicking up a fuss, were dumbfounded.
‘Is Vase Fairy…really such a good cook?’
On the other hand, Xiang Yi’s fans had their morale boosted and were incredibly proud of Xiang Yi!
——[Xiang Yi has done us proud!]
——[She’s just that outstanding and brilliant. Can’t help it.]
——[Shisui Sisters, please respect yourselves. You can never be worthy of Xiang Yi!!!]
