[Miaomiao is really considerate]
[I also want a sister like Miaomiao]
[Hey, if you say that again, some tycoon is going to send a golden comment later]
[You only see the warmth, I see someone who's very selfish]
[Yeah, Zhou Yan wasn't wrong. If you can't cook, don't try, you'll just waste ingredients]
[But Gu Che just wants to cook a meal for his sister with his own hands, can't you see the intention?]
[If you don't learn to cook and therefore won't cook for someone you care about, wouldn't you be criticized for not cherishing your family?]
[Why do I feel like everyone is sidelining my Yanyan?]
[Exactly! They've directly assigned tasks and ignored my Yanyan]
[My Yanyan's culinary skills are excellent, whoever gets to taste it is lucky]
Gu Che basically ignored Zhou Yan, treating him like air. Even if everyone saw this scene, he didn't care.
Back then, he had the guts to make this plagiarist cry in a talent show, exposing the show's manipulators and walking away even though Zhou Yan was given a debut position. He's not going to be nice to this person just because there are cameras now.
Carrying the pork with one hand and holding his sister with the other, Gu Che found Tang Tian.
"Mr. Tang, could I ask you to..." Before he could finish, his finger was tugged, and Gu Che quickly added, "teach me to make braised pork with Miaomiao?"
"Of course."
Tang Tian glanced at Zhou Yan, whose expression was stiff, and suggested with a smile, "How about this, Mr. Zhou makes minced pork with eggplant, and Mr. Gu, Miaomiao, and Little Jing work on braised pork and other dishes."
Zhou Yan: "Sure, I'll show everyone what I can do."
And thus, the food distribution issue came to a close.
Tang Tian assumed that Gu Che was indulging his sister and didn't think Tuanzi could cook, so he assigned her and Little Jing the task of washing vegetables, emphasizing its importance.
The little boss confidently promised, taking his sister to wash vegetables.
Tuanzi, somewhat dazed, followed along to wash vegetables, forgetting about teaching her second brother.
The villagers provided many fruits and vegetables.
There was corn, eggplant, potatoes, tomatoes, lotus roots, and even bitter melon. The fruit was mainly homegrown peaches and plums.
The chilly little boy washed everything meticulously, as if to wipe away the shame of not getting any dishes earlier.
"Brother Jing."
The little boy paused, lifting his cool little face, and saw Tuanzi smilingly holding up a peach, "Shall we eat a peach together?"
Tang Jing looked down at the unwashed vegetables, then back at her smiling face.
"Are you hungry?"
Tuanzi nodded quickly, "Super hungry, and the peach smells super sweet."
Tang Jing thought for a moment, "I'll go get a knife. No, kids shouldn't handle knives—let's have Dad slice it."
"No need."
With her partner's consent, Tuanzi casually split the peach with her hands, handing half to Tang Jing.
Tang Jing looked at his wrist, then at Tuanzi's wrist.
Tuanzi already started taking small bites of the peach, occasionally showing a blissful expression.
"It's delicious, super delicious~"
[It looks delicious]
[And she's eating it so happily]
[Isn't the key point that she split the peach with her hands?]
[It's okay to split the flesh, but she even split the stone in half]
[Earlier, when she carried two baskets by herself, I wanted to say, this kid's got some serious skills]
[I just want to see Xingyi Boxing, Miaomiao you little trickster, show us a few moves]
Performing is out of the question.
Tuanzi quickly finished the peach, carefully washed the fruits and vegetables, and ran off to deliver them to her second brother.
Only when she got closer did she realize her second brother had already started cooking the pork.
"Oh no, Miaomiao hasn't taught Second Brother yet."
Gu Che was so focused on the frying pan, his face tense, that he didn't hear Tuanzi's words.
Tuanzi tiptoed to have a look, then eyed his tense face, covering her mouth to giggle.
Nervous second brother is so funny.
[Miaomiao: Little Gu, record this, hurry and record it]
[Ancient Martial System: I'm not a camera]
[Miaomiao: But you have this function, record it, hurry!]
Not wanting to be nagged, the Ancient Martial System reluctantly recorded Gu Che's embarrassing moment.
It had a hunch, that more embarrassing moments would be recorded in the future.
This Gu Che, thinking he'd found a sweet, lovable sister, when actually... someone sweet is also a bit mischievous.
Each group was busy with their tasks, and for a moment everything looked quite cozy.
Gradually the aroma from the pots wafted out, keeping Tuanzi busy.
She first dashed over to the group near Su Hanjiang.
Su Hanjiang was making sweet and sour fish chunks, fried first and then coated with a sugary glaze, just the appearance was mouth-watering.
Tuanzi swallowed her saliva.
"Sister, would you like some?"
Su Chaomu, who was causing mischief, immediately told Su Hanjiang, "Give sister a piece, let her taste it."
Su Hanjiang was strict with his son, but gentle with the little girl.
He picked a piece and placed it in a small bowl, grabbing a pair of chopsticks, and handed it to Tuanzi.
"Try it, I'm not very good at cooking, this dish I learned from Chaomu's mom."
"Thank you, Uncle."
Tuanzi accepted without hesitation, eyeing the good-looking piece, smelling the inviting aroma, and took a bite. Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, the fish was fresh, with a perfect sweet and sour balance.
"Delicious!"
Tuanzi promptly offered a professional evaluation, adding,
"Uncle, your cooking is really good."
"It's my wife's cooking that's good."
Wife's cooking is good?
[Miaomiao: What is a wife?]
Some differences in ancient and modern terms the system had taught her, but others she hadn't learned yet. In the old days, it was usually called Aunt, but here it's usually called Aunty.
[Ancient Martial System: His lady]
Tuanzi brightened up, was the unknown Aunty's cooking even better?
Hitching a meal was now on the agenda.
After tasting the sweet and sour fish chunks and offering high praise, Tuanzi went on to try Liu Man's tomato scrambled eggs.
In her era, there were no tomatoes, but this dish was genuinely good.
"The eggs are fluffy, the tomatoes are sweet and sour, and they perfectly blend together."
Liu Man humorously said, "You're quite the little gourmet."
"Yes, yes," Tuanzi proudly acknowledged.
Having sampled everything, the parents announced it was time to eat.
Tuanzi eagerly hurried back to find her second brother, just as Su Hanjiang was carrying the sweet and sour fish, Zhou Jun and Su Chaomu were arguing about something, pushing and shoving, bumping into Su Hanjiang, causing him to lose balance and send the sweet and sour fish with its plate flying.
[Oh my, the fish flew!]
Then, a small figure leapt into the air, catching the plate with a few deft moves.
When Tuanzi landed, the flying fish chunks were back in the plate.
Tuanzi was totally satisfied, "Good thing it didn't hit the ground."
Su Hanjiang: "…Can someone pinch me?"
Su Chaomu unceremoniously pinched him.
