Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
There was a moment of silence on the bullet screen until someone stood up for Lin Wan.
[There is nothing wrong with teaching children to do the house chores. It will teach them survival skills and make them independent.]
[Yes. My son learned to cook rice from first grade.]
[My daughter takes care of her two younger sisters and even makes milk powder for them. The children can learn to be capable. We always underestimate them.]
[Lin Wan, is this a response to the first episode’s internet violence?] [Aren’t you worried that the children might get hurt doing it alone?]
[If you remind them to be careful, they will be okay.]
The live stream room began to discuss whether children should do housework from a young age.
In the Li family’s kitchen, Li Yanchen had started the fire and was waiting for the dishes to be cooked.
“Wanwan, let’s move the camera to the kitchen and let everyone see how I cook,” the man said on a whim.
[Is Mr. Li going to cook?]
[Yes! Move the camera. We definitely want to see it.]
[I’m so curious about Mr. Li’s cooking skills.]
Li Yanchen glanced at Lin Wan. She seemed to have some opinions about his decision.
“Do you think I don’t do a good job at cooking?” he asked.
Even though Li Yanchen was not bad at cooking, he wasn’t a pro. He wasn’t afraid of people laughing at him in the live stream.
“There’s no need to show off.” Lin Wan slowly spat out the words.
“Men need to be praised and acknowledged too.” Li Yanchen just wanted to put on a good performance. He had seen the news yesterday that Luo Xi had cooked up a dish with salted meat and vegetable rice. Everyone had been praising it to the skies. At the very least, he had three dishes and a bowl of soup.
Lin Wan had nothing to say. She set up the camera in the kitchen.
[Is it because Luo Xi is cooking in the courtyard that Mr. Li wants to do it too?]
[Mr. Li always wants to win.]
[Mr. Li, we’re praising you. You’re the best!]
While Li Yanchen adjusted the camera, he looked at the comments.
‘Why are the netizens so smart this time?’ He hadn’t even said anything, and they had already guessed he was trying to compete with Luo Xi.
He cleared his throat. “It’s nothing like that. I just want to show everyone how much I have improved.”
[Mr. Li, you’re too humble.]
[What’s wrong with this company today? Are they trying to steal the limelight?]
[I guess Mr. Li has improved his cooking skills to the point where he can show off now. That’s why he is so confident in doing it in front of the camera.]
[Everyone, let’s watch him first. It’s better to watch Mr. Li cook than to watch an empty courtyard.]
[I want to see it too!]
Looking at the eager comments on the bullet screen, Li Yanchen rolled up his sleeves and decided to put on a good performance.
In Xiao Yi’s live broadcast room, Xiao Tianlin, who had lost the competition, took the initiative to cook. If he couldn’t do missions or housework, Xia MO would probably feel disappointed.
Xiao Yi and his father were in charge of starting the fire. Xia MO was made to rest at the side. She lifted a book on baking and began to read.
[It’s the magician’s desire to live. Hahahaha. Is it because he lost the competition?]
[Can ordinary people sign up for this variety show? I want to send my husband to De retormed too. J
[I want to sign up too. All the male guests are so productive and supportive.]
[The power of role models. In that environment, it’s natural to want to become better.]
[Sisters, it’s also Michael who’s cooking at Wheatley’s house today. What’s going on? All the fathers of the family are insisting on cooking.]
At Wheatley’s house, Michael changed his username from Health Coach to just “Michael”.
After losing two games in a row, he no longer dared to say that he was a fitness coach. He had lost the weeding competition and the basketball match.
Xiao Tianlin had thought his muscles were just for show. Michael felt that Xiao Tianlin hadn’t been entirely wrong. He felt like that too.
On the other hand, Li Yanchen looked frail and weak, but, in the end, he was so good at everything.
Furthermore, he was a few years younger than Li Yanchen. And yet, he hadn’t won. He was afraid Nannan would despise him. He tried to put up a good front at home more than ever before.
Nannan didn’t remain idle, either. She helped to cut vegetables. Wheatley was live streaming in the yard. She held the guitar and started playing a song.
[Wheatley, you’re amazing.]
[Xuanxuan likes to play the guitar too. Wheatley and Xuanxuan should team up.]
[Wheatley has a lot of talents. She’s already at level 10 in piano at such a young age. Have you seen her performance video? At the end of last month, Wheatley performed with Master Xu at Yun City Opera House.]
[I was there in the audience. I was super shocked.]
[Wheatley is so humble. She never said that she played the piano so well in the previous live broadcast.]
Wheatley, who was focused on practicing her guitar, did not know that the netizens were talking about her performance at the Yun City Opera House.
At Feifei’s house, Tao Jingyuan answered a public service inquiry call and was answering the questions of the person involved.
Feifei was drawing in the courtyard. Zheng Kuo was in charge of cooking.
He washed the vegetables and cut them up. He then started the fire.
[How is Feifei so quiet? He is only five years old, but he is so peaceful.]
[Lawyer Tao is on the phone. Teacher Zheng is probably cooking. Feifei is so obedient and draws by himself.]
[My son is already six years old. When he is at home, I can’t get a moment of peace.]
[All the families’ children are so awesome.]
In the Li family’s kitchen, the two sons delivered the washed vegetables. Li Yanchen put on his apron and got ready to start.
He held a bottle of oil in one hand and a ladle in the other. He poured the oil over the ladle and then put it in the pot for it to heat. He moved the pot back and forth to spread the oil.
[Mr. Li’s movements are very calculated. He even knows how to control the oil with the ladle.]
[No matter how the food turns out, the posture is on point.]
[I didn’t participate in the three episodes for nothing. Mr. Li has learned to cook after all. But why does he always make porridge for breakfast? Can’t he make rice?]
[He might know how to cook some things, but not everything. Maybe that’s why he cooks porridge most of the time.]
[The vegetables are in the pot, and the heat is rising. The sizzling sound is very clear.]
[Not bad.]
He made three dishes and a pot of soup. Half an hour later, lunch was ready.
[Done in one go. Very efficient.]
[Mighty Mr. Li.]
After the dishes were served, Li Yanchen even added a few mint leaves on the side. He deliberately showed off in front of the camera.
[The dish looks very beautiful.]
[Mr. Li, at least you’ve won in terms of quantity. Lo Xi made toasted rice this afternoon. It isn’t as fragrant as your dishes.]
[Is the taste determined by quantity? Brother Luo Xi’s food also looked very appetizing. Jian Jia praised it a lot. We don’t know if Mr. Li’s food is good or not, yet. Don’t get ahead of yourselves, in case you get slapped in the face.]
[Why is a spy here again? This is the Li family’s live stream. Luo Xi’s fans, please get out.]
[I’m really speechless. Why do other people’s fans come here to cause trouble?] In the live broadcast room, Luo Xi and the Li family’s fans started arguing again.
Lin Wan was sitting in the courtyard. After the dishes were served, she glanced at them. She noticed that the dishes had been prepared with extra care today.
After the rice was served, Li Yanchen moved the camera to the courtyard.
[Mr. Li, do you want to be followed today? You take the camera everywhere you go.]
[Isn’t that good? Only distinguished VIPs get an insight into Mr. Li’s life.]
[Yes!]
Lin Wan washed her hands.
“Today’s dishes look even more delicious, ” Lin Wan said.
“Daddy, you’ve really improved.” Li Zekai gave him a thumbs-up.
Li Zexuan served Lin Wan first. “Ms. Lin, have some of your favorite shrimp corn..”
