The Female Lead Has No Cheats - Chapter 185: Cook-off (1)

Besides Lu Ting, in everyone’s eyes, the canned thick soup had a golden-yellow alluring glow. Maybe it smelled too good and caused everyone to start hallucinating and thinking that they saw a rainbow within the soup.

Lin Yueqi enjoyed the lies brought to her ears, mouth, and nose. She drank the thick bread soup to replenish her stamina.

She only attended to eating food and didn’t realize that Old Lu was sitting next to her and about to barf. He furrowed his brows more and more tightly. He didn’t want to ruin everyone’s mood seeing that they were having a good time eating so he endured the fishy smell and drank a few sips.

It was one thing if ordinary chefs made this food but Li Murou was the one to make this pot of thick bread soup. She was at the very least, a chef. How could she make such disgusting food?

Lu Ting recalled the last time when he was at Swallow Dining Hall. Everyone besides seemed to have been “drunk.”

He watched as everyone ravaged the food and there were even some that praised it. He moved close to Director Zhou Yuhuai and asked in a low voice, “How much do you know about Li Murou?”

He wanted to find out what Li Murou had learned the past few years but he didn’t expect Director Zhou Yuhuai to compliment her that much.

He sat on a rock and drank the thick soup. After finishing the last few sips, he wiped his mouth and exclaimed to the sugar daddy, “Murou, ah. I got to know her in Lang Province a year ago. Back then, our program group needed to venture inside the forest and search for a precious medicinal ingredient that could be used for food. The owner of a pharmacy introduced us to Murou. Speaking of, this lady is really something.She was able to turn primitive ingredients in the forest where food was lacking into something magical and delicious. I remembered how she made us a pot of soup using mushrooms. We were incredibly shocked after drinking it.”

“After that, we got to know that Murou was a known chef within Lang Province. Mr. Lu, you know how extraordinary our program group is. I invited her over so that we could record our show and make it seem more lively and realistic. I want to record a documentary that wasn’t boring and could be watched by everyone. How does that sound? Mr. Lu, you’re also amazed by Murou’s skills?”

Zhou Yuhuai and Li Murou were old friends. He also knew about Li Murou’s relationship with Lu Ting. He also knew about how much the lady did for Lu Ting in secret.

Standing from the perspective of a protector, he knew that he wasn’t worthy of Li Murou. Of course, he hoped that she could be with a better man. Surprisingly, Lu Ting had joined the show this time. This was a good chance. Zhou Yuhuai did all he could to praise Li Murou.

The more Zhou Yuhuai tried to praise Li Murou in front of Lu Ting, the more he disliked her.

He thought back to the Swallow Dining Hall where everyone got “drunk.” He wondered if Li Murou had used some sort of drug in order to make people drunk and then hallucinate.

As for him, he probably lucked out because of something?

When Lu Ting returned to Lin Yueqi’s side, he saw her licking the bowl without a care for her image. He grabbed the bowl from Lin Yueqi’s hands and placed it to the side. He looked resentful and unhappy.

Seeing that Lu Ting barely touched the food in his bowl, Lin Yueqi recalled something. Her Father Lu was immune to Li Murou’s [Gourmet Food Deity] system.

Seeing that he was irritated due to hunger, Lin Yueqi got up and patted his head. “Sit here for a bit. I’ll go find some food.”

Lin Yueqi quickly got a baguette and a jar of honey from the kitchen. She inserted the baguette on the skewer. She then sprinkled some water on top of the bread and then stuck it into the fire to bake.

The fire kept on evaporating the water on the surface of the baguette. Quickly, the hard baguette gave off a burnt but tasty scent. Lu Ting sniffed this and his stomach started growling. He couldn’t control his hunger anymore.
