The next day.

The morning in Utopia is different from all other places.

The first to awaken were the elves who delivered mail and newspapers, fluttering their wings before dawn, soaring past thousands of homes. As daylight began to break, the dwarves awoke, emerging from their underground caves to hammer iron tools in the light. The first sky train departed, and then all the branches of the World Tree unfurled...

The whole world gradually brightened up.

This day seemed particularly different. The World Tree was covered with colorful berries, the leaves turned from yellow to golden red, and the whole world was covered with a layer of brilliant and bright colors.

The weather was very good, and the mirror-like Yuanyue Lake reflected the light blue sky in the early morning.

The aquatic creatures living in the Full Moon Lake quietly surfaced for air, but were startled by the strange noises in the tree house. With a "plop", they retreated back to the bottom of the lake.

From the small tree house in the center, muffled voices came again and again:

"Awoof...Awoof...Woof..."

The little Husky was half hanging on the vine, in a shaky posture, as if someone had played a prank on it. It was a wonder it could still sleep with its legs spread out.

The little guy stuck out his tongue foolishly, as if talking in his sleep, and occasionally dug his claws in the air.

"Er Er?" Gu Yumian picked up the little guy curiously and put him back on the mattress, letting him sleep head to head with Little Tangyuan and Little Fox. "Why are you here? Are you sleepwalking?"

The little snow leopard lay on Gu Yumian's shoulder and yawned lazily.

It nudged Gu Yumian's cheek with its paw, perfunctorily imitating a 'planing' gesture.

Gu Yumian miraculously understood its meaning.

"Does Er Er think he is a fish now?"

Gu Yumian was helpless. The little Husky had always felt like a lone wolf since the first day he came home, and his howls were all "howls." But that was nothing.

After arriving in Utopia, perhaps because it saw the giant dragon and various magical aquatic creatures, it suddenly modified its own race at will. Sometimes it wanted to fly in the sky, and sometimes it wanted to swim in the water... This is a bit dangerous.

Why can't you accept the fact that you are a dog?

"I'll pay attention..." Gu Yumian held Tuan Tuan up under his ribs, looked at it seriously, and a smile gradually appeared in his eyes.

At first, the little snow leopard stared at Gu Yumian indifferently, until it turned its eyes away unnaturally and the tips of its ears turned red. Then Gu Yumian kissed its ears and said:

"Tuan Tuan, I'm glad you care so much about Er Er and the others."

Gu Yumian had always been concerned about the little snow leopard's personality. Er'er, Yuanyuan, and Qiuqiu each had their own flaws, but they were all generally cheerful. Only the little snow leopard had never gotten along with the other children—it was just his own fault.

Unexpectedly, it would take the initiative to care for the little Husky. Gu Yumian was really pleased and felt a little relieved.

Little Snow Leopard: “…”

The gray-blue eyes narrowed in displeasure. Who cares about those idiots?!

It clearly cares...

"Well, are you sleepy?" After receiving a negative answer, Gu Yumian continued:

"Then let Er Er and Yuan Yuan sleep a little longer, and we'll go prepare breakfast."

Gu Yumian put the little snow leopard in his arms and climbed down from the second floor of the tree house to the first floor.

Yuanyue Lake offers a unique atmosphere throughout the day, from early morning to late night. At this time, the lake is covered with a thin layer of early autumn mist, reflecting the first light of day. It has a very charming and quaint atmosphere.

We are going to make puff pastry soup today, so some things need to be prepared in advance. Gu Yumian first prepared the shortening, flour, sugar, salt and cooking oil used to make the puff pastry dough, and was just about to start kneading the dough.

It was at this time that I received... Hmm? An official communication request from Utopia Amusement Park?

He was sure that he was not mistaken. It was not the starry sky, but Utopia.

"Hello, hello, I'm Gu Yumian."

Gu Yumian's hands were busy, so he asked the little snow leopard to help him press the connection button on the light screen with his paw.

"Mr. Gu, are you free now? I want to discuss something with you."

An amusement park official wanted to see him? What could it be?

Gu Yumian paused and looked at the little snow leopard with some confusion.

He vaguely guessed that it might be related to the hidden plot and said:

"When you have time, tell me."

Gu Yumian was not wrong in his guess, it was indeed related to the hidden plot.

"I'm sorry for messing up earlier. Is the 'City Lord' okay?"

The official had already received a special call from Grand Duke Finnick, and his attitude at this time was extremely cautious, saying:

"Of course, you don't need to worry about that."

The little snow leopard was very satisfied with the answer and nodded slightly.

"...Okay, what do you want to discuss?"

Utopia's official Weibo account has always had the habit of selecting high-quality tourist photos and posting them on Weibo. Last night, they struck while the iron was hot and selected Gu Yumian's photos, and the response was surprisingly good.

It is no exaggeration to say that this is the post with the highest number of likes and comments since Utopia established its Weibo account.

“So we would like to ask you to live stream as much as possible when you are visiting Utopia.

"Also, regarding the promotion fee..."

"cough."

Gu Yumian held the little snow leopard in his arms, rubbed its ears, and coughed lightly.

He didn't really want to discuss this topic in front of his children. In his ideal world, his children wouldn't need to know too much about the family's financial situation until they started middle school. As long as there was enough money, that was enough.

And since Utopia is so great, he is happy to promote it for free.

The other side immediately understood what he meant and said:

"We'll talk about that later. As for the hidden storyline, you can unlock it at any time during the game. Is that acceptable?"

The official conducted a comprehensive assessment of Gu Yumian's popularity, commercial value, and live broadcast model.

It is more appropriate for Gu Yumian to uncover this hidden plot than any other way that has been imagined.

Although the Sky City had not been fully explored before, that was not the only way to open it.

Gu Yumian thought about it casually and said, "Okay."

I think it's quite interesting, and most importantly, kids will like it.

There was a sudden sigh of relief over there.

Although it is not a bad thing, if Gu Yumian is unwilling, there will be nothing we can do. Fortunately, he is willing.

"Is there anything else?" Gu Yumian smiled.

"Yes, one last thing." The other side said quickly.

Gu Yumian: "Hmm?"

"We all like you very much. Can you give me... an autographed photo?"

Gu Yumian: "..."

Half an hour later.

The baby panda woke up rubbing his eyes, then slowly swung down from the vine. He held Gu Yumian's hand blankly and asked him to help wash his face.

The little fox and the little husky woke up earlier. One was helping Gu Yumian prepare breakfast, while the other was playing in the water with its butt sticking out.

Gu Yumian looked around, picked up the little Husky, and felt that everything was almost ready, so he turned on the live broadcast on time at 8 o'clock in the morning.

"Hello everyone, I'm the host Gu Yumian." Looking at the rapidly increasing number of viewers, Gu Yumian couldn't help but curl his eyes:

"After breakfast, we will officially start our journey to Utopia."

Because many viewers set their alarms in advance, tens of millions of people flocked in just one minute after the show started.

[Buguibugui: Ahhh! Eat breakfast and visit Utopia! ! I wonder what kind of itinerary the host will get 2333]

[Lili: I set the alarm and started squatting at 6am. My legs are numb. QAQ]

[Marshmallows are not as sweet as Mian Mian: The broadcast started at 8 o'clock, and the Utopia schedule is usually from 9 o'clock to 9 o'clock at night... Is today's live broadcast extra long?! I'm suddenly excited.]

Utopia is an immersive amusement park. It is no longer a traditional amusement park where you need to buy tickets, queue up, and plan your own itinerary.

The amusement park has planned an itinerary for each visitor, and visitors will feel as if they are living in this real city-state. During the visit, they will fully appreciate every aspect of the utopia.

"Yes, the live broadcast will probably be longer today." Gu Yumian nodded.

After all, it was promised to the Utopia officials.

The audience was so moved that they didn't know what to do——

Although the average daily live broadcast time of Starry Sky's full-time anchors is more than ten hours, Gu Yumian has always been so Buddhist that it is rare for him to broadcast for more than five hours, and he has never broadcast for ten hours.

"I'm high, Mian Mian, look at the moon in the sky. Is it round? If it lasts more than ten hours today, I'll give it to you." "Finally lasted long enough, tears streaming down my face." "Am I really not dreaming? Someone, pinch me!"

Gu Yumian: “…” Do you have to be so exaggerated?

Is his live broadcast really so short? Gu Yumian couldn’t help but feel a little guilty.

"Then let's stop talking nonsense and make and eat breakfast." Gu Yumian held the baby panda's paw and rubbed it. The baby panda drowsily hugged his fingers and rubbed its head:

"Actually, I'm almost ready. I just need to cook a little more and we can eat it."

As the name suggests, puff pastry soup is a seafood cream soup covered with a layer of puff pastry. It is available in both Chinese and Western styles, but overall it should be considered a way of eating in Western cuisine.

It is divided into two parts: cooking seafood cream soup and pinching and baking puff pastry. The ingredients prepared for cooking seafood soup this time include shrimp, crab legs and scallops.

The shrimp and crab legs have been shelled and kept on ice along with the scallops to keep them fresh and ready to use.

The broth used is clam soup, with a little shredded ginger and cooking wine. It is already simmering on a small stove and is slightly milky white.

"Let's first chop the garlic and potatoes into small pieces and sauté them directly in the pot where we'll make the soup."

Gu Yumian thought for a moment and said, "Generally speaking, there are also onions, but many species have adverse reactions to onions, especially cats, so be careful."

Gu Yumian put the diced garlic and potatoes directly into the heated olive oil and slid them over medium heat.

Soon, the surface of the minced garlic and potatoes was covered with a uniform and translucent luster, and they were fried to a fragrant smell.

Gu Yumian then added flour and butter and continued to stir-fry. The butter melted and flowed with a sizzling sound. At this time, there was an irresistible tempting aroma, which went straight into the nose along with the white steam produced by the stir-frying!

The attention of several children was immediately attracted. They moved their noses, squeezed into Gu Yumian's arms, and looked into the pot.

"Don't be impatient."

Gu Yumian rubbed each of their heads, then poured the cooked clam soup into the pot, stirring it, and brought it to a boil over high heat. He stirred it constantly with a long spoon until the soup boiled, then poured in a few teaspoons of brandy.

Then add potatoes and laurel leaves. After the potatoes are soft, add corn kernels, shiitake mushrooms, celery and chopped carrots in turn.

After boiling again, Gu Yumian added shrimp, crab legs and scallops, poured in fresh cream and mixed well, and finally added salt and black pepper to taste.

Several children and the audience couldn't help but hold their breath and stare at the soup in the pot on the alcohol stove -

Before long, a pot of thick seafood cream soup was simmering on the stove, with a small transparent bubble occasionally appearing.

The soup in the pot has been simmered to a rich, creamy white. Reddish-red, tender shrimp and crab meat, snow-white scallops swirl in it, garnished with shredded carrots and verdant celery.

The appearance alone is enough to make your mouth water, not to mention the steam that keeps pouring out, carrying with it the rich flavor of milk and the salty freshness of clam soup, with a hint of the sweet and mellow brandy inside...

“Oh my!”

The baby panda was still picking at Gu Yumian's clothes with its claws, swallowing its saliva greedily, and its head kept nodding into Gu Yumian's arms in a coquettish manner. The little snow leopard pushed its round head in dissatisfaction.

The little Husky was so excited that he kept sharpening his paws and shaking his head. If the little fox hadn't stopped him out of concern, he would have probably buried his head in the hot pot and drunk the soup.

Layer upon layer of barrages of comments with special effects rolled by, directly creating a heat wave.

Vivian: Oh my god, this is so delicious! It looks so fresh and rich, a bowl of soup that really has all the right flavors...

I won't change my name until I lose 90 pounds: Ahh ...

[Juyi: I want to eat! Right now! Please!!!]

Boy B: "Hey, is this dish even available at Elbet? It smells amazing!" I silently pulled out my VIP membership card.

This morning, the number of viewers had already experienced several rounds of rapid growth, and now it had surpassed 60 million in one fell swoop, and continued to climb!

"We need to add another layer of puff pastry and bake it. Wait a moment."

The puff pastry is already made with flour, shortening, sugar and salt, and then coated with a layer of egg yolk liquid.

Gu Yumian first scooped the seafood soup from the pot into five baking bowls, then covered the bowls with a layer of puff pastry and baked them in the oven for a while. This time it was completely done.

The crispy, plump and slightly burnt puff pastry baked to golden brown reflects the luster, covering the thick soup underneath and giving off a rich aroma.

The little Husky was panting with its tongue hanging out, its two front paws resting on Gu Yumian's wrist, and it couldn't stop barking "woof woof woof", and its tail was shaking like a fan blade.

The little snow leopard also stepped on Gu Yumian's palm domineeringly, and raised its chin to indicate that it wanted to eat now.

The audience and the children were completely overwhelmed. Thousands of comments flew by at the same time within one second, and the atmosphere was extremely lively!

"Well, you can eat it now."

Gu Yumian thought his child was so cute that he couldn't help but smile, and a small dimple appeared on his lips.

The little snow leopard was so mesmerized that the cream soup right next to him suddenly lost its appeal.

"What are you daydreaming about?"

Gu Yumian gently pinched the tip of the little snow leopard's nose, handed the bowl to the children, and demonstrated to them with a children's spoon and fork:

"First, use a small fork to put the puff pastry into the soup to soften it, then scoop up the soup and eat it."

The little fox swallowed its saliva and curled up in Gu Yumian's arms. It clumsily held the fork with its two paws and poked the puff pastry into the cream soup as Gu Yumian instructed. Ah, Wu, it took a mouthful...

The little fox and the baby panda closed their eyes happily at the same time.

The crispy, plump pastry soaks up the broth, leaving a soft, slightly crisp texture as you bite into it. The rich, warm seafood broth flows freely between your lips and tongue. The richness of the cream, the tenderness of the shrimp and crab meat, the sweetness of the brandy...

The soup has a sticky and soft texture, and is sweet, fresh, mellow and rich. All kinds of delicious flavors are contained in this small spoonful of crispy soup. It is so delicious that you will want to lick your fingers after taking a sip!

“Awoof! Awooo!!”

The little husky rolled over on its back, rubbing against Gu Yumian's trouser legs, and kept circling to express its happiness. The little snow leopard narrowed its eyes in satisfaction.

On the screen, barrages of comments rolled across like snowflakes.

User aiuf: Aa ...

[Qingqing wants to pass the cat language level 4 exam: Damn, I think I'm dreaming. Can something this delicious really exist?]

[Hahaha or Huo: I feel like my life has reached its peak. The puff pastry is so soft and crunchy after soaking, and the soup is especially delicious. It's rich and fragrant but not greasy. Drinking it warm in the morning makes me so happy...]

Meow: Meow meow meow! I can't blow any more rainbow farts, so I'll give all the remaining gifts to you =333=]

[South China tigers never go on blind dates: I really want to eat it in real life. I also want to lie in Mi Mi's arms and eat breakfast. I left my saliva with lemon flavor.]

On weekend mornings, many people actually like to sleep in, so the traffic on live streaming platforms is not very good.

But the popularity of Gu Yumian’s live broadcast room has skyrocketed!

The half-hour blocking period just passed at this time, and the live broadcast room was immediately listed on the popularity list of the day, and directly rushed into the top three of the real-time popularity list, and was about to take the first place.

At this moment, the Full Moon Lake, like a bright mirror in the morning, reflects the light blue and transparent sky.

A breeze blew across the lake, carrying with it water vapor and the unique scent of fallen autumn leaves.

From afar, you can hear the rumbling of the sky train passing through the center of Utopia, and the whole day in Utopia has begun to become lively.

The morning market, the shops, the bard singing with his accordion, their journey is about to begin.

The small tree house is very close and yet very far away from the rest of the world. Gu Yumian is surrounded by furry children on his shoulders and in his arms. While they are slurping their puff pastry soup, they unconsciously move closer to him.

The children are all very attached to him.

On this autumn morning, I leaned in the arms of my favorite young man, my whole body enveloped by his gentle, refreshing breath and body warmth. I leisurely sipped a bowl of warm crispy soup, while a perfectly soothing breeze blew...

It's a temptation that's hard to resist.

The little snow leopard lay lazily on Gu Yumian's shoulder, tilting its head unconsciously, and its ears rubbed against the side of his neck.

The number now soared to 90 million.

"Let's eat slowly and eat our fill." Gu Yumian touched the children's heads, "Itinerary——"

As he was speaking, a carrier pigeon with a small bundle slung across its body flew over from afar. Under the cold and threatening gaze of the little snow leopard, it tremblingly handed a letter to Gu Yumian and then fled in panic.

Audience: "2333 It's obvious that Tuantuan has become wary of all black and white furries." "Today's lemon is so delicious." "Making jealousy out of nothing."

Gu Yumian: "..."

"Why is Tuantuan being so mean to the little pigeon?" Gu Yumian rubbed its little ears, and the little snow leopard yawned indifferently.

Gu Yumian sighed and unfolded the letter:

"This should be today's itinerary."

The baby panda came over with the little fox, and the little Husky, holding something in his mouth, also huddled next to Gu Yumian, shaking his head. They all looked at the letter curiously.

Gu Yumian was also looking forward to it. After all, everyone has a child in their heart, not to mention the hidden plot that might start at some point...

Dear Mr. Gu:

Welcome to our city-state. Today is Utopia's annual Berry Festival. We have sent an elf to pick you and your friends up. I believe he will have arrived by the time you read this letter.

arrive?

Gu Yumian looked around but didn't see any elves flapping their wings. Just as he was about to become puzzled, he met the eyes of a little Husky who also had a confused look on his face.

Gu Yumian: "..."

"Er Er, what's that in your mouth?"

Little Husky:

"Awoo! Awoo awoo, woof!" Human, this is a new friend I just found, and it fell asleep inexplicably!

It wagged its tail and put down what it was holding in its mouth as if offering a treasure. It was the elf who had obviously fainted from being frightened by the little Husky.
