Kitchen.
The top streamer with a messy hairdo stared blankly at the ingredients.
The ingredients are quite simple, but how should I cook them?
Gu Miaomiao was right next to him, staring at the ingredients, nearly drooling.
After a few minutes, discovering that her second brother still hadn't moved, she reached out with her small plump hand and poked him.
"Second brother, did you fall asleep again? Are you sleeping with your eyes open?"
[Hahaha]
[If he could learn to sleep with his eyes open, Gu Che would probably be so happy he'd fly away]
[Others say the early bird catches the worm, but for him, it's the lazy bird stays in bed, sigh]
[My Yanyan has already made beef noodles, Zhou Jun is enjoying it, unlike some people, tsk tsk]
[The person who said that, you're in the wrong livestream]
[Ignore those people, they're just here to get attention]
[Who said Zhou Jun was enjoying it, when I checked, he found it so bad he knocked over the bowl]
The luxury house in the village.
Seeing the overturned beef noodles, Zhou Yan's face turned cold.
"I want a sandwich, not this!"
Zhou Jun lifted his foot to step on the beef noodles on the floor.
Zhou Yan twitched the corner of his lips.
He didn't care if his cousin was hungry or not, but knocking over the noodles was like indirectly saying his cooking skills were bad, right?
He was very upset, but then it occurred to him that this naughty kid's personality could work to his advantage; at worst, only Zhou Jun would get scolded, so what did it matter to him?
At this point, Zhou Jun swung his hand, hitting Zhou Yan's face.
Zhou Yan stood up immediately, causing Zhou Jun to fall down.
"Boohoo, I'm going to tell mom and dad that you're bullying me!"
On the other side, Mrs. Lin couldn't take it anymore and started giving instructions.
"You can just fry some tomatoes, slice the beef and toss it in with some water, then make a sauce with it. Cook the noodles in plain water, scoop them out, and pour the sauce over them. The eggs can be boiled separately, fried, or added to the tomato and beef sauce."
"Thank you so much."
He followed her instructions step by step.
Despite the tomatoes being poorly chopped, the beef being in chunks instead of slices, and having eggshells in the eggs, overall, the sauce was quite delicious.
He quickly boiled the water for the noodles, and casually placed the sauce in a big bowl on a small table.
Tuanzi moved her steps slowly, glanced at her busy second brother, at the sauce on the table, then at her second brother again, and finally the sauce, reaching her destination.
[Hahaha, Miaomiao's expressions and actions are like a video I saw online, just a golden retriever sneakily stealing food]
[I've seen that video too, now that you mention it, they do look alike!]
[Actually, Miaomiao has very puppy-like eyes, big, watery, with round corners. When she looks at you, it's like a pitiful little puppy making you want to feed and play with her]
Tuanzi, stamped with 'sneaky puppy' by the netizens, took a deep breath.
[Miaomiao: Smells so good]
[Ancient Martial System: But you still can't sneak food]
[Miaomiao: So hungry]
[Ancient Martial System: But you still can't sneak food]
Tuanzi stared at the sauce, salivating, but had no tools in hand.
At this moment, Mrs. Lin, who had been sitting at the door, casually walked over, pulled out a pair of chopsticks, handed them over, and walked away calmly as if nothing had happened.
[Haha, this aunt is quite a character too]
[She didn't look at Miaomiao once during the whole process, successfully transferring the 'crime tool']
[Miaomiao starts sneaking food]
Tuanzi zeroed in on a beef chunk, picked one up with the chopsticks, and swiftly stuffed it into her mouth.
"Delicious!"
So delicious it could fly.
[Ancient Martial System: And now you've been caught.]
Tuanzi froze, carefully turned around, and found that her second brother was looking over. She quickly flashed a big smile, her small hand behind her back.
"As long as you find it tasty."
Gu Che didn't mean to reproach her at all, "You can start with a little, the noodles are almost done."
Tuanzi suddenly had tears in her eyes.
"Wow, second brother, you're so nice to me. In the past, if Miaomiao sneaked food, master would scold me!"
She threw herself into Gu Che's arms, accidentally smudging the oil stain at the corner of her lips onto Gu Che's clothes.
Gu Che affectionately patted the fluffy head.
"You can eat as much as you like, I definitely won't scold you."
Though he was grateful to Miaomiao's master for saving her, there's no harm in letting kids be a little greedy, no need to scold for that. He silently complained about her master from a distance.
The brother and sister enjoyed a harmonious breakfast.
The five groups of guests gathered together around ten o'clock.
Tuanzi, seeing Liu Yue, immediately ran over to boast that her second brother made delicious beef noodles, and she alone ate three bowls!
"Three bowls?"
Liu Yue widened her eyes, "It must have been really tasty."
She looked at her little partner enviously, then glanced up at her sister.
Liu Man said awkwardly, "I'll go back and learn more."
She could only make scrambled eggs with tomatoes, so this morning, they had scrambled eggs with tomatoes, steamed some beef, and had to borrow a few buns from the locals to fill their stomachs.
[Little Liu Yue looks envious, but this top streamer's cooking skills aren't really good; he had expert guidance]
[But he has a sister who appreciates it]
Su Chaomu and Tang Jing also gathered around to share their experiences.
Su Hanjiang learned most of his dishes from his wife. Unfortunately, his wife never taught him how to make beef noodles, so he improvised. Tang Tian's cooking skills are really good, though Tang Jing, being reserved, rarely praises his dad.
Noticing a missing partner, Tang Jing turned around and waved at Zhou Jun.
"Aren't you coming over?"
Even at a young age, the little boss with a compulsive disorder wouldn't accept anyone being left out.
Zhou Jun pouted, "I'm not playing with you guys, I don't want to be on the show anymore, I want to go home, I want to see mom and dad!"
The parents immediately felt something was amiss.
Su Hanjiang looked at his son, and sure enough, Su Chaomu was already pouting, eyes red, "I miss mom too."
Tang Jing glanced at him, "Even if you think about it, you can't see her, don't waste your energy."
Su Chaomu: "..." Now he was too embarrassed to cry.
Even though Zhou Jun was making a fuss to go home, Zhou Yan managed to persuade him to stay with a combination of soft and hard tactics.
By now, he regretted choosing to bring his cousin to the show; he might as well have paired up with a stranger.
After all, the stranger recommended by the show was a small internet celebrity, already taught by their family to be well-behaved and cooperative!
"Today we'll play a game in the morning where parents and kids throw sandbags. There are mixed and individual competitions."
The host took out a bamboo tube.
"Alright, now let's draw lots to form teams, one with four people, and one with six."
The team arrangements quickly came out.
Gu Che, Gu Miaomiao, Liu Man, and Liu Yue were one group, while the other six were another group.
Su Chaomu mumbled softly, "I want to be with my sisters."
He looked at Tang Jing, then at Zhou Jun, full of disdain.
Tang Jing, with his small face stern, "But you're not lucky."
Su Chaomu: (▼へ▼メ)
The two teams started drawing lots, and it was Gu Miaomiao's group turn to throw the sandbags first.
Su Hanjiang, along with the three other parents and kids, entered the center area.
Gu Miaomiao's group and Liu Yue's group stood at opposite ends.
"Second brother, let Miaomiao go first."
Gu Che had no objections; after all, he didn't even know how to play this game.
Tuanzi gripped the sandbag, glanced at the six people in the field, then suddenly smiled coyly, looking a bit shy.
The six people had a bad feeling.
"Hey—ha!"
Tuanzi made a throwing motion, and the sandbag flew at high speed, hitting the tall and sturdy Su Hanjiang.
Su Chaomu immediately mocked, "Dad, you're the first to be out, hahaha... huh?"
But the sandbag that hit Su Hanjiang didn't fall; instead, it brushed past Su Chaomu's shoulder.
Su Hanjiang patted his head, "You're out too."
However, the sandbag didn't stop and continued forward, hitting both Tang Tian and Tang Jing one after another.
Zhou Jun pointed at the sandbag in surprise, "It can curve too."
The curving sandbag hit him on the face, then 'whoosh' upward, hitting Zhou Yan on the face.
In less than two minutes of the game, the six-person team was 'wiped out'.
