Chapter 38: Food Stamp Ghost Part 2

Currently, she was at the studio, but she could meet ghosts even here?

As the ghost touched the cucumber and was walking away, she took out something and put it beside the plate. Ye Sui recognized the item. It seemed to be a small piece of floral cloth.

The floral pattern was simple, but the cloth looked ancient.

The ghost took the cucumber and left a floral cloth in its place. Ye Sui felt as if the spirit had deliberately left it there, like borrowing and exchanging things. That must be it.

The ghost looked around again. This spirit might have starved to death, so when she saw the food, her expression was very satisfied.

Seeing the apple beside the cucumber, her eyes lit up with delight. Ye Sui knew that although this apple looked good, its surface was too bright as if waxed. Furthermore, its appearance of the fruit couldn’t be compared with the food ingredient beside it.

This was just an ornament that the program group had arranged for decoration. It couldn’t be eaten and could only be seen. But this ghost obviously didn’t know this.

She picked up the fake apple, caressed it carefully, and contentedly pocketed it.

Maybe thinking this apple looked very beautiful, the ghost contemplated for a moment, rummaged through her pocket, finally pulled out a piece of paper, and put it at the apple’s position.

Ye Sui looked over and saw that the paper was yellowed. Obviously, it was also a time-honored thing. There were also a few words written on it.

Ye Sui could not read them clearly. She did make out a few words, however. “1102”

Ye Sui searched her mind for information about it, and a bold idea took shape in her mind. This… this was not a food stamp, was it?

She couldn’t believe it and looked again to make sure it was the food stamp. If this food stamp was from the sixties, at the very least, some rice could have been exchanged for it.

But this innocent ghost merely got a fake apple.

The food stamp ghost continued to walk as if shopping around. Afterward, she suddenly stopped and looked at the Zhajiang noodles next to Gu Zhao. They were made by Ye Sui, and now they were exuding an enticing aroma. The food stamp ghost’s eyes glittered, and she could not move her gaze away.

Driven by instinct, she went to Gu Zhao.

The next part was Gu Zhao’s introduction to a dish he was going to make today. After Gu Zhao’s intro, he was all set to start cooking.

Few guests on this program could cook. As a chef, Gu Zhao needed to set up a good image in the first phase of the program.

Gu Zhao was ready to fry the garlic, picking it up and putting it on the chopping board. The food stamp ghost didn’t seem to like the taste of garlic very much. She pinched her nose and was ready to take the bowl of Zhajiang Noodles.

Without a doubt, Gu Zhao was skillful. Still, he was passionate to show off his knife skills, letting the audience be dazzled at his finesse.

In order to show his refined culinary skills, Gu Zhao made up his mind that he would only show 8 out of 10 of his cooking skills.

Gu Zhao held the back of the knife, pointed at the garlic, and chopped down vigorously.

Bang—

The food stamp ghost stretched out her hand but took it back in an instant.

At the moment, everyone’s eyes were fixed on Gu Zhao, and he was satisfied with his display. Feeling excited, the knife in his hand moved faster and left afterimages.

The food stamp ghost tried to reach the bowl of Zhajiang Noodles again, and her hand was just about to touch it. Right at this instant, Gu Zhao stamped his kitchen knife, and the whole dish was cut off.

Kacha!

Gu Zhao’s knife was so fast that he nearly cut the finger of the food stamp ghost. The hungry ghost immediately shrank back in fright.

Ye Sui saw this dramatic scene and did not know what expression to show.

From the point of view of the netizens, Ye Sui was staring at Gu Zhao unblinkingly and did not look away for a second. They thought Ye Sui was studying hard and wanted to learn how to cut things quickly and accurately.

[Ye Sui is already so good at cooking. But she is still studying so hard. My goodwill for her has soared.]

[Ye Sui is so charming. Is that starlight in her eyes?]

Ye Sui had no idea at all that her actions were excessively elucidated by the netizens, which caused a wave of favorable opinions about her.

She was just worried that if Zhajiang Noodles were picked up by the food stamp ghost, then everyone would see them flying in the air, wouldn’t they? If that really happened, this program would turn into a supernatural program.

Over there, Gu Zhao continued to show his blade skills diligently. At the same time, the food stamp ghost was making a final effort to get to her target.

The food ghost’s hand was less than an inch away. Just then, Gu Zhao raised his hand, and the kitchen knife moved to the side.

“Bang!”

Without warning, the food stamp ghost’s forehead and knife’s back had deep intimate contact with each other. Although the back of the knife was not sharp, the feeling of being hit on the forehead was still not very pleasant.

The food stamps ghost clutched its forehead with tears in her eyes. After casting a grievant look at Gu Zhao with one eye, she finally left.

Indulging in the flashy photos, Gu Zhao had no idea that he had done harm to the food stamp ghost. He was still cutting the vegetables eagerly.

Ye Sui saw that the food stamp ghost had left, and when the camera lens moved away from her, she turned and glanced at the place where the ghost had put the stamp.

A gust of wind blew up the food stamp, and it totteringly fell gently on the ground.

At the end of the recording, it was already dark, and Ye Sui returned in a nanny van. It was past eight o’clock, and Chen Shu had already gone home.

Ye Sui stood at the door of the house, pressing the password one by one. Her actions were as slow as a snail, and even the ghost Aunt Zhang, who was not far from the door, was ignored by her.

The door was unlocked with a click. Ye Sui pushed the door open and entered. The light was on in the living room with Chen Shu sitting on the sofa and Ye Sui standing on the porch.

Ye Sui felt that this scene was like when they had first met. At that time, she and Chen Shu could not say half a sentence to each other. The distance between them was as vast as the earth and the sky.

But now, she had to think about explaining to Chen Shu about the suspected affair. Since Ye Sui was standing at the door for a long time, Chen Shu looked up in her direction.

Facing Chen Shu’s calm appearance, Ye Sui instantly felt terrified, and in a sec, she recalled the former matter.

This time, she must have a good talk with Chen Shu, the little white rabbit, about the darkness in the entertainment circle.

Chen Shu, the little white rabbit in Ye Sui’s words, was sitting on the sofa with a wolf’s tail dangling behind him.
