My Husband, a Marshal: Conquering the Stars with My Culinary Arts-Chapter 557 - 188 Dragon Claws_2

Sun Mulin shook his head and sighed, "If it weren’t for the support of the Sun Family, trying to become famous in the entertainment industry would take years of perseverance, even with some talent."

The entertainment industry has always been a murky water tank. To make a name for oneself there, talent, effort, and background are all essential. Although there are indeed some stars who have risen to fame solely through passion and effort without any background, hasn’t each of them climbed up layer by layer from the bottom?

Sun Mulin hadn’t experienced such hardships, but he had seen them more or less around him. He empathized with them and had consistently been helping some talented artists who struggled due to a lack of opportunities over the years.

No matter where you are, there are harsh realities that cannot be denied or argued against. Du Xixi was silent for a moment and suddenly felt a heaviness in her heart.

If she were not Ke Lian’s wife, not Chen Yin’s sister, without stunning and awe-inspiring culinary skills, how could she promote food? Relying solely on the inheritance left by the original owner’s parents?

Money isn’t everything. In the face of power, no matter how wealthy one is, they can be suffocated. A girl with vast assets and no ability to protect herself would instead arouse some unscrupulous ambitions of the powerful.

Du Xixi can now freely teach culinary arts at Blue Star University, partly due to her cooking skills, and partly because of the support from Chen Yin and Ke Lian behind her.

She garnered attention through her identity as Ke Lian’s wife, and later, respect as Chen Yin’s sister, the Empire’s Princess. As for the streamer 2X, various forces only had the option to either destroy her or not obtain her, rather than letting her be safe as she is now.

Du Xixi suddenly didn’t want to talk about this topic that made her uncomfortable. She pressed the play button again, letting the movie that had previously fascinated her start playing once more.

But when she recalled it later, she couldn’t remember if the bleeding feet ever managed to walk back to the base, nor did she know if the lone soldier was still alive at the end.

Sun Mulin left after dinner, and his streaming room left with him, but his popularity did not decrease because he left the Ke Family. Instead, the "support theory" conversation between Sun Mulin and Du Xixi sparked intense discussion among netizens.

People began to reflect on the phenomenon in the entertainment industry, curious about why so many talented individuals are still struggling at the bottom, while those with no skills become hugely popular solely on looks or a persona, becoming "top stars".

Sun Mulin had worked hard for many years and only helped a small number of people. Yet, because of today’s livestream, many talented individuals were discovered, while some of the traffic-driven individuals instead "fell from grace".

A brand new, no longer murky entertainment industry is coming in the future.

The next morning, Du Xixi and Ke Lian got up together, except Du Xixi didn’t ask 2569 to make breakfast but went into the kitchen herself, planning to make a classic snack for Ke Lian, as a comfort for his recent exhaustion.

Dragon Claws, also known as Wonton, is a traditional snack with thin skin and tender filling, smooth and fragrant. In different areas of Blue Star, it has different names, flavors, and fillings. The Dragon Claws Du Xixi planned to make referred to a version from a region with a spicier flavor.

"Today’s Wonton, shaped like a crescent moon, is consumed all over the world."

The shape of Dragon Claws is a curved crescent.

Du Xixi recalled in her mind the method of making Dragon Claws, and had already taken out the flour, ready to knead the dough.

The dough skin for Dragon Claws has certain standards. A little salt is added to the flour, along with an egg, mixed with clear water to form a dough, which then needs to be rolled out into a paper-thin skin.

While kneading the dough, Du Xixi threw an unexpected question at 2569: "2569, do you know why I add an egg before kneading the dough?"

"Adding an egg gives the dough elasticity and chewiness." 2569 watched closely from the side, having gotten used to learning every dish Du Xixi made, including the tip about adding an egg, which she had told it once before while kneading dough.

"Smart!" Du Xixi praised with satisfaction, then asked 2569 to help fetch a rolling pin, divided the dough into small pieces, and began rolling out the skins.
