Chapter 614: Chapter 607: Chef Fu Teaches Cooking
Fu Yu came out of the storage room and continued to organize the food preparations.
Now over at the barbecue area, it’s said that Zhao Meng and Gu Yunwu each have their own people taking orders, but in reality, it’s Fu Yu who oversees it all.
After all, his long-time customers place the most orders, and the volume he handles is the largest.
Fu Yu headed over to the grilling area to check on the condiment preparations.
At this moment, Liu Yuqing came running up, sidled up to Fu Yu with a cheerful look, and whispered, "Hey! Fu Yu, I need to tell you something!"
Fu Yu was taken aback: "What’s up?"
Liu Yuqing blinked and said mysteriously, "Guess?"
Fu Yu didn’t guess, his eyes unintentionally locked onto Liu Yuqing’s eyes, captivated by the mesmerizing sparkle, he couldn’t look away.
Liu Yuqing met his gaze confidently, eyes full of pride: "I knew you couldn’t guess! I’ll tell you! I created a Wave Blog account for you and synced it with a short video platform!"
Liu Yuqing finished speaking and handed her phone to Fu Yu: "See how it looks!"
Fu Yu was a bit surprised, she created a Wave Blog account for him and synced it with a short video platform?
What does this mean?
Fu Yu took the phone and carefully checked the page, and after just a glance, Fu Yu’s jaw dropped, unable to close.
Xiaoqing darling, what are you trying to do here?

Fu Yu: "!"
This... are they trying to make him an internet celebrity?
I’m just a cook, can’t we just keep it low-key and chill?
Moreover, while his culinary skills are indeed superb, his position doesn’t quite match his abilities yet.
If people found out that this so-called Chef Fu teaching cooking, is just a chef who’s only been a full-time cook for two months, not even a head chef, wouldn’t they laugh?
I really don’t have the qualifications to teach others how to cook yet!
Thinking of this, Fu Yu clicked his tongue, looking at Liu Yuqing: "This... I don’t think I’m quite suitable, right?"
Liu Yuqing straightened up immediately, her eyes brimming with confidence: "You’re perfect! Besides your face, just your cooking skills alone can totally attract fans!"
"And if you’re worried it might affect your daily work life, you don’t have to show your face right away, just upload short cooking videos and crop the videos below the shoulders."
Fu Yu logged into the account and carefully browsed through it.
He found that Liu Yuqing had already uploaded a short cooking video.
The content was a video recorded a few days ago when he was grilling, edited into a cooking tutorial video with text explanations.
The text in the video corresponded to his occasional verbal guidance to Zhang Jinyu in the video.
Admittedly, Liu Yuqing has become really professional in making short videos; the entire video showed no trace of editing, with impeccable coloring, images, text, and background music.
"In recent years, the research on culinary skills and cooking has become more detailed, and compared to traditional cooking methods, the advantages of innovative cooking techniques are significant:
Firstly, the flavors cater more to popular preferences, with simple methods and high serving rates.
Secondly, a wide range of ingredient choices and a variety of seasonings create dishes with better taste, more appealing presentation, and higher quality in color, aroma, and taste.
Thirdly, innovative dishes often merge the advantages and characteristics of traditional dishes, providing customers with an enhanced culinary experience..."
"Besides tasting delicious food, people are also increasingly passionate about cooking itself."
"Cooking one’s ideal meal by oneself has transformed from a tedious household chore into a fulfilling experience."
Below the video are the numbers of shares, comments, and likes.
Even though it’s just a new account with only one uploaded cooking tutorial video, 25 people have liked it, 2 have joined discussions, and there are 3 shares.
It proves that Fu Yu’s cooking video is really quite good; at least it leaves viewers feeling tempted to try or simply enjoy watching it!
Beyond Wave Blog, the response is even more enthusiastic on the short video platform.
The immediate impact is seen in the 100 fans already.
No kidding, it’s quite something.
Anyway, after watching it, Fu Yu indeed felt a bit of delusional potential as a web celebrity.
Fu Yu looked up at Liu Yuqing, seeing a face waiting to be praised, looking especially endearing!
Although he doesn’t know much about this, the video’s quality is really impressive.
At least, after watching it, Fu Yu felt it was much better than those cooking videos he finds online.
Of course, it might also be because Fu Yu doesn’t actually understand much about this.
There are plenty of such cooking tutorial videos online; although Fu Yu often watches them for learning, he primarily focuses on the chefs’ techniques, as long as the footage is clear enough to see the specific actions.
As for aesthetics, shooting angles, and other detailed aspects, he doesn’t care much.
Fu Yu asked, "Are you doing this so I can become an internet celebrity?"
Liu Yuqing thought for a moment: "I didn’t really think about it at first, just felt that since the videos are well-made with lots of effort, it’s a waste to just store them on the computer. Uploading these videos to platforms can earn cash rewards if they reach a certain number of views and likes."
Liu Yuqing proudly said: "Free money, why not take it, right? Plus, I’ve already asked all my friends to follow your account! See, it already has 100 fans!"
After speaking, Liu Yuqing waited for Fu Yu to praise her for her great work!
Fu Yu paused for a moment, then asked thoughtfully, "Relying on these 100 friendly followers and 93 likes, can it really make money?"
Liu Yuqing’s pretty face flushed instantly, glaring at Fu Yu: "Can’t you have a bit of confidence in yourself?"
After that, she strode away angrily!
Fu Yu looked innocent, he just voiced an honest thought, why did she get mad?
The triggers for a woman’s anger are so strange...
In the morning, Fu Yu led everyone in food preparations with Zhao Meng, and at noon, he went to the barbecue section.
Today’s takeaway orders were overwhelming once again.
Busy until two-thirty in the afternoon, Fu Yu finally got a chance to rest.
He planned to watch some cooking videos after his meal.
Lately, he discovered a not-so-famous yet very skilled veteran chef.
This person frequently uploads his cooking videos online.
Fu Yu often feels inspired after watching them, which keeps him endlessly entertained.
Just as he put down his bowl, Zhao Meng called out to him.
In a voice only audible between them, Zhao Meng said, "Boss Pang just called me, he wants you to go help out at the dessert shop tonight."
