"Mengmeng, you play by yourself for a bit, okay? Uncle Jiang will make breakfast for you," Jiang Ning said gently, his eyes full of doting affection.
Mengmeng was completely focused on "treating" her doll baby.
Without even looking up, she chirped, "Okay!"
Jiang Ning walked into the kitchen, looking at the morning light streaming in from the window.
He was thinking about Mengmeng's recent recovery from illness.
He needed to make her some light and loving food today. He'd make Heart-shaped Noodle Soup.
Thinking this, he opened the video recording function on his phone.
Preparing to record this heartwarming moment.
Jiang Ning first gently scooped out the cooked noodles, his movements soft, afraid of messing up the shape of the noodles.
After draining the water, he carefully arranged them in a heart shape in the bowl, each strand meticulously placed.
Next, he arranged the blanched spinach along the edges of the heart-shaped noodles. The emerald green spinach looked like a green ribbon surrounding the heart, adding vitality and vigor to this breakfast.
Then, he placed the cooked quail eggs along the curve of the heart, one at a time, at regular intervals. The quail eggs were like smooth pearls inlaid on the heart, round and cute.
Inside the heart-shaped noodles, Jiang Ning evenly spread the sliced carrot heart slices. The red carrots contrasted with the white noodles, making the heart shape even more prominent.
Finally, he sprinkled a few goji berries, the red goji berries like scattered stars, scattered on the heart.
Everything was ready, Jiang Ning slowly poured the cooked winter melon, kelp and dried fish flakes soup base into the bowl.
The broth barely covered the noodles and toppings, the light brown broth blending with the colors of the ingredients.
It created a warm and beautiful visual experience, allowing one to feel the overflowing love contained within this light Heart-shaped Noodle Soup at a glance.
"Ding—"
"Congratulations to the host, Top-tier Cooking Skills upgraded to Grandmaster-tier Cooking Skills."
"System, what's going on again? My cooking skills haven't seemed to reach the Grandmaster level yet, have they?"
Jiang Ning was full of doubt and couldn't help but ask the system.
"Host, this is a chain reaction after the system upgrade. It is a level upgrade based on your original skill foundation."
The system's voice rang in Jiang Ning's mind.
"So, does that mean if Mengmeng and I continue playing the previous games, regardless of whether we win or lose, the skills will upgrade from beginner to intermediate?" Jiang Ning pressed.
"Yes, Host. Theoretically, that's the case."
The system responded.
"Theoretically, that's the case?"
Jiang Ning was speechless after hearing this. This system always left room for doubt, which was truly frustrating.
Afterward, Jiang Ning happily closed the video recording.
He carefully reviewed it once.
After confirming that his avatar wasn't captured, he wrote a title on the video: Baby is Sick, I Make Heart-shaped Noodle Soup for Breakfast.
Next, he uploaded the video to Huayin.
Then he turned off his phone, not even bothering to check how many followers he had.
At this moment, Jiang Ning only had Mengmeng's lovingly made breakfast on his mind.
"Mengmeng, come down for breakfast!"
Jiang Ning walked into the kitchen and called upstairs.
"Okay, coming!"
Mengmeng replied cheerfully; she seemed to be full of curiosity and anticipation for every dish Jiang Ning made.
Every time she heard the call to eat, she would wonder what kind of surprise Uncle Jiang would bring today.
"Uncle Jiang, Mengmeng has never seen such a beautiful Heart-shaped Noodle Soup before, it's so pretty!"
Mengmeng hopped over to the dining table, her eyes immediately lighting up.
Her previously listless spirits also perked up quite a bit.
"If it looks good, then eat more."
Jiang Ning smiled at Mengmeng, his eyes full of encouragement.
"Mengmeng will eat it all very, very nicely."
Mengmeng nodded vigorously.
"Yes, that's right, Mengmeng. If you can finish everything Uncle Jiang makes every time, then the food Uncle Jiang makes will become even more delicious."
Jiang Ning patiently guided Mengmeng.
"Really? Then Mengmeng will eat it all up!"
Mengmeng said excitedly, as if her small body was filled with endless energy.
"Mengmeng is the best, the most obedient, good baby."
Jiang Ning touched Mengmeng's head, the smile on his face becoming even brighter.
Just as Jiang Ning was accompanying Mengmeng for breakfast.
He didn't know that the number of followers on his account had undergone a huge change overnight.
After a night of accumulation.
Plus, thanks to Huayin's top-tier traffic pool promotion, Mengmeng's fan count has already skyrocketed to over twenty million and is still growing rapidly.
The number of comments and likes is countless, and private messages are flooding in.
However, Jiang Ning knows nothing about this.
His mind is all on Mengmeng.
"Boss, there's a new video! Come and watch!"
"Wow, such a Heart-shaped Noodle Soup!"
"So Heart-shaped Noodle Soup can be made like this! Amazing!"
"God, you can make so many variations with a simple, light Heart-shaped Noodle Soup! Awesome!"
"Great God, I'm also learning to cook, can I add your contact information?"
"Ah, baby is sick? My heart aches just like the Great God's, poor baby."
"'Young Dad', you're so loving, I want to give you a monkey."
"Great God, I've already sent my contact information in a private message, please reply after you see it."
"What the hell 'Young Dad', you haven't taken care of your kid properly, yet you still have the mood to post videos, I despise you!"
"Upstairs, if you don't have a conscience, get lost, I feel disgusted just reading your comment!"
"Exactly, exactly, what kind of person is this, still has the nerve to come here and rant, doesn't even look at themselves!"
The comment section was bustling with activity, filled with praise, admiration, and a few negative comments from haters.
However, most of the die-hard fans were filled with love and couldn't stand the haters' remarks, so they spoke up for Jiang Ning.
After all, those who followed Jiang Ning's videos and became die-hard fans were mostly parents or people who loved food and worked in the culinary world.
Among them, several culinary giants were also quietly following the "Young Dad".
These giants were Grandmaster-level culinary experts, and with their deep understanding and rich experience in cooking, they could naturally see that Jiang Ning's culinary skills were currently at the top level.
However, Jiang Ning's exquisite knife skills and unique aesthetic painting techniques were something they couldn't match.
Although they might be slightly better when it came to the aroma of the dishes.
But when it came to knife skills, color coordination, and design, they were still a notch below Jiang Ning.
This was also the main reason they continued to follow the "Young Dad."
In a simple, old courtyard in Kyoto.
Old Master Tang was sitting on a Taishi chair, focused on watching the "Young Dad's" Huayin video.
Old Master Tang's real name was Tang Xia Chuan, a significant figure in the Great Xia Nation's culinary world.
The Tang Family Group, which he founded, had assets exceeding 500 billion, holding a pivotal position in both the business and culinary worlds.
Standing beside him was Tang He Cai, his eldest son.
