The orcs were incredibly generous with their grilling. They'd barely cook the large chunks of synthetic meat, simply skewering them, frying them briefly over the campfire, and eating them straight away.

In addition to synthetic meat, there are also berries, carrots, bread, etc., all of which can be eaten after being roasted.

But...is there really no problem with baking it like this?

Putting food directly on charcoal fire seems to contain a lot of carcinogens and is not very hygienic.

But on second thought, cancer in this era seems to have been completely defeated, because industrial areas and living areas are completely separated and isolated, the content of harmful bacteria and unknown toxic substances in the general air is almost low, and the life expectancy of residents has been greatly improved.

Even for humans who couldn't awaken their superpowers, the average lifespan was now over 150 years old. Gu Yumian thought to himself, he must strive to live to 200 years old, so he could spend a few more years with the children.

The orcs in Utopia like Gu Yumian and the children very much, and several groups of men and women have come to chat with them.

"Young men, would you like to eat? There are plenty of ingredients, and we have berry wine and juice if you want."

An orc uncle clinked his cup with Gu Yumian's.

Little Tangyuan, the little fox, and the little snow leopard were so used to Gu Yumian's cooking that they'd become picky eaters. Seeing this rough way of eating wasn't something they were used to. Only the little husky looked cheerful and followed the uncle.

A moment later, the little guy came back with a sad face and collapsed into Gu Yumian's arms.

"Awoof...Awoof." It felt like swallowing a piece of charcoal raw.

Little Tangyuan originally wanted to eat it, but now he saw the little Husky returning in defeat. He touched his belly pitifully and groaned.

In fact, after such a night of fun, we ate a lot of Utopia’s special delicacies, but most of the children just wanted to eat them for the novelty and didn’t want to eat anymore after eating one or two.

In the end, Gu Yumian ate them all based on the principle of not wasting anything.

"Well...what would you like to eat?"

Gu Yumian moored the boat at the shore and carried the children onto the platform.

The little snow leopard yawned lazily. It didn't matter whether it consumed energy or not. It would eat everything Gu Yumian made.

...In the little snow leopard's cognition, Gu Yumian is his human, and all the dishes cooked by Gu Yumian are his.

As for why the other three cubs were also eaten, it was entirely because it was very "kind" and a good-tempered head of the family. It was also so kind to the cubs that its partner picked up from the street.

The little fox thought about it for a long time and found that he wanted to eat a lot of things. Finally, with his brain in a mess, he picked up his tail and curled up in Gu Yumian's arms without moving.

This platform rising from the lake was actually entirely covered with grass, with a bonfire burning in the center. The green velvety grass stems were still damp, and the bonfire party in the center of the grass under the moonlight was inexplicably very artistic.

The entire utopia was now enveloped in a lively and seething mood, but this excitement did not seem noisy, allowing people to taste the flavor of everyday life.

[Sunny with Rain: Here I come! I brought my dry bread! I have a feeling the host is going to make something delicious!! Anything is fine, I’m not picky at all (-﹃-)]

[Sen Xiaoran: It’s all right, it’s all right, I want to eat it all.]

A koi fish, Juju: Eat them all! Seafood fried rice, berry pie, Dongpo pork, chicken congee...

It's past eight o'clock in the evening.

The Utopia Berry Festival is of course very grand. In addition to Gu Yumian, there are other anchors or internet celebrities broadcasting live, but their total popularity is pitifully small compared to Gu Yumian.

Utopia officially broadcasts the Berry Festival live every year, and this year it also launched a drone aerial live broadcast on the Starry Sky platform.

But starting from six o'clock in the afternoon, after Gu Yumian finished making seafood fried rice and took the children to the night market, the popularity began to surpass other live broadcasts and even official live broadcasts in all aspects. The bard and circus that followed set off another wave of popularity.

The official live broadcast can't beat the personal live broadcast, is this reasonable?!

The aerial live broadcast of the Berry Festival ended at 8 o'clock, and the Utopia officials did something that no one expected.

…They directly posted a tag “Officially designated by Utopia” on Gu Yumian’s live broadcast room.

Since they couldn't beat Gu Yumian in popularity, they had no choice but to turn around and ride on his popularity. The idea behind this was so similar to that of the Starry Sky Rookie Competition planning team, it was truly ridiculous.

At this moment, the total number of viewers in Gu Yumian's live broadcast room is rapidly approaching 700 million.

"So, what do you want to eat?"

After Gu Yumian asked this question, the barrage of comments was flooded with the names of various dishes. Almost every dish that Gu Yumian has made has many loyal fans.

And more comments are like "I want them all".

Little Tangyuan and the little Husky are so connected to this kind of audience.

The two cubs thought for a moment, then excitedly came to Gu Yumian and made all kinds of gestures with their paws - meaning they wanted to eat it all.

Afraid that Gu Yumian wouldn't understand, the two kids were so anxious that they were running around in circles, making gestures and drawing with their claws on the open space. Soon they got themselves covered in dirt.

Gu Yumian: "..."

He looked at the four little darlings in his family: Tuantuan who didn't care about anything, Qiu, a little fox with severe decision-making difficulties, and two big dreamers, Tangyuan and Husky.

"Okay, let's grill the spareribs with berry wine." Gu Yumian made the final decision.

Making berry wine roasted ribs is easy, and you can also make more to share with everyone. After all, we have such a wonderful day to thank everyone at Utopia.

The bonfire was ready, and everyone gathered around it in groups of three or four.

Some people roast their food directly on the big bonfire, while others light a smaller bonfire and eat while chatting.

Gu Yumian spread out a picnic blanket at the designated bonfire spot, borrowed some fire and lit the pile of firewood. Immediately, the sound of charcoal crackling could be heard, and golden-red flames began to dance.

"Roasting spare ribs is very simple," said Gu Yumian. "First, boil them in water with spices, then add ingredients and marinate them. Wrap them in tin foil and pay attention to the heat when roasting."

The Berry Festival prepared many fresh synthetic ingredients that could be purchased directly. Gu Yumian first set up a small pot, cut the ribs into sections, and blanched them in clean water. After removing the floating residue, he added spices such as star anise and cinnamon and simmered them for a short while.

This step is to remove the fishy smell and enhance the flavor. The low heat will not make the meat overcooked, but will slowly bring out the flavor of the spices - if you control the heat well, the roasted ribs and even the bones will be delicious.

Then scoop it out and place it on tin foil, add sugar, light soy sauce, and top with minced garlic and green onions, put it in an accelerated pickling device for marinating, and then brush it with a layer of oil and honey.

Finally, pour a few spoonfuls of berry wine with a lower alcohol content, wrap it in tin foil and roast it directly on the campfire.

The flames flickered, and Gu Yumian asked the children to stay away to be careful not to get burned. He put on gloves and used a fork to flip the noodles and control the heat.

It didn't take long before the fat and lean pork ribs, which were roasted through the tin foil on the campfire, gradually released oil. The hot oil bubbled and dripped into the campfire, and the fire became more and more vigorous.

"Hmm!"

Little Tangyuan and the little fox leaned against Gu Yumian, their two round eyes reflected on the grilled ribs on the campfire, and they couldn't help swallowing a few times.

The little snow leopard's attention was also attracted, and his eyes changed from careless to a little serious. He sat up and waited.

The little husky who had been barking for food, almost all the tourists near the bonfire, and the hundreds of millions of viewers in the live broadcast room all fell silent involuntarily, holding their breath.

"Alright," Gu Yumian looked at everyone's expressions as if they were facing a great enemy and couldn't help but want to laugh, "Wait a moment, I'll get it out."

Wearing gloves, he took the foil package off the shelf, placed it on a plate and uncovered it.

As the tin foil was slowly peeled off, the grilled ribs inside came into view bit by bit.

The tender ribs were infused with berry wine and spices, perfectly roasted to a beautiful maroon color on the inside and lightly golden on the sides.

The oily, crispy and tender surface is covered with a layer of crystal clear honey and sauce. When Gu Yumian sprinkles lush white sesame seeds on it, it becomes even more delicious and mouth-watering.

At the same time, the aroma of tender and crispy spare ribs, the fragrance of garlic and cinnamon leaves inside, and the rich and mellow taste of berry wine flow out from the gaps in the tin foil and rush into your nose!

Little Tangyuan and the little Husky, the surrounding tourists and the audience in the live broadcast room, everyone was stunned for a moment.

Nearly 700 million viewers, tens of thousands of comments burst out at the same second!

Lilihuabai: Actually, I just finished dinner, and now my stomach is growling again!!! Aaaaaaaah!!!

[Boy B: So this is what it's like to bake until crispy and juicy. I've learned something new. Come on, eat quickly.]

[A slightly overweight person in the 200-pound world: Oh my god, this smells really good, what are you doing so late at night? QAQ? ?!]

Xiaoerbing: I feel sorry for the tourists around me. They can see but not eat.

Gu Yumian sat in front of the campfire and could clearly hear the sound of people swallowing saliva.

The little Husky's tail was wagging desperately. Little Tangyuan was lying in Gu Yumian's arms, clinging to Gu Yumian's palm tightly and arching his head to urge him to start eating.

"Er Er, Yuan Yuan, wait a moment." He touched the children's heads, "I have something else to do."

The orcs and tourists around were stunned.

Looking at the thing in his hand that was roasting like charcoal, and then looking at Gu Yumian's spare ribs... he suddenly felt envious and uncomfortable.

Especially the little kids, the grievance they had just felt while waiting to watch the circus came back to them. They envied the kids in Gu Yumian's family who had food, drinks, and fun to play with, and had such a nice human to keep them company. They immediately started clamoring for their parents to eat too.

The parents were about to get worried, but soon their worries disappeared without a trace.

"Actually, I made a little more..." Gu Yumian took out the tinfoil bag a little embarrassedly, looking at the tourists and natives who were looking at them enviously, and tried hard to overcome his social phobia:

"There are ribs inside, already marinated and covered with sauces and everything. Everyone, try grilling them over the fire. Remember to flip them over frequently."

Gu Yumian has never been a person who is reluctant to share. On the contrary, he hopes to make everyone's life better within his ability.

If it's just you and your kids enjoying the delicious food, and other tourists and residents are staring at you, your happiness will probably be dampened.

Everyone opened their eyes little by little.

“…”

Within three seconds, all the tinfoil bags in front of Gu Yumian were snatched away, and all kinds of gifts were placed in front of him - a few little girls took advantage of the chaos to kiss Gu Yumian on the face and smiled at him.

The little snow leopard's face turned black.

Gu Yumian: "..."

Although the little snow leopard was not in a very happy mood, the atmosphere of the entire bonfire festival really became lively at this moment!

Before, tourists and indigenous people were separated and chatting about their own things, but now they gathered together and started grilling the ribs.

Some people baked it in advance and did not forget to help others before eating. Regardless of whether they knew each other before or not, everyone was closely connected by this delicacy.

Everyone sat on the ground with Gu Yumian as the center of the circle. From time to time, someone would turn their head and talk to Gu Yumian enthusiastically, and pass him and the children some drinks and snacks.

Although Gu Yumian wasn't good at socializing, he didn't reject the kindness of others. For a moment, all he could hear were the clink of wine glasses, the sizzling of ribs grilling in hot oil, and the sounds of loud singing and chatting.

The number of online viewers has now exceeded 700 million.

The audience...the audience is already extremely envious.

Xiaoerbing: I take back my previous hurtful words!!! Damn!!! Did these tourists and the indigenous people save the Milky Way in their past life? QAQ I'm jealous, jealous, jealous, I want to eat it too!

Vivian: Mianmian has a really high EQ. Also, you must have worked so hard preparing so many ingredients! I'll give Mianmian some fireworks.

[Shijie Fengyue Yanbolu: Oh, this is so nice, we can all enjoy the festival together happily.]

[172399: The atmosphere is really great, it really feels like a festive celebration of a good harvest. So when do we start eating? My saliva is already dripping onto the floor.]

"Sorry for the long wait, let's eat too." The alcohol in the glass of berry wine that Gu Yumian drank earlier had not yet completely evaporated.

He sat back down contentedly, picked up the children, and nuzzled the furry necks of several of them;

"Now the temperature is just right, not too hot, you can eat it."

The little Husky had obviously stolen the food, chewing something in his mouth. He looked away and whistled as if nothing had happened. After a while, he spat out a bone and came back to Gu Yumian happily to ask for more.

Little Tangyuan also looked away stealthily.

The little snow leopard ate openly, with several bones placed next to its paws. Naturally, it continued to press its paws on Gu Yumian's palm.

Gu Yumian was helpless: "..."

In order to prevent the children from accidentally swallowing bones, Gu Yumian usually uses a small fork to pick out the meat and feed it to the children, or directly uses chopsticks to let the children bite the ribs from the chopsticks.

The audience is from the perspective of the little fox, and the little fox is the only one who abides by the rules and does not steal food. The audience watched the other three cubs steal piece after piece, and they have been itching to eat it for a long time.

At this time, Gu Yumian finally came back. He quickly rolled up his sleeves and picked up some ribs for the hungry little fox.

The little fox held Gu Yumian's palm with its two paws, carefully shaking its tail and biting the ribs -

“Chi!!!”

The fruit wine roasted spareribs are cooked to the perfect temperature, fragrant and extremely crispy, as if even the bones are soaked in the rich flavor of wine and laurel leaves. The surface is golden and oily but not greasy at all.

The most amazing thing is the crispy outside and tender inside texture. The ribs are soft, tender and chewy. One bite and your mouth is filled with the aroma of hot roasted sauce and concentrated sweet wine...

Even the reserved little fox couldn't help smacking his lips, tilting his head back, and shyly asking for the next piece of delicious spareribs.

On the other side, the overwhelming barrage of comments had already drowned out everything.

【Meow: Delicious, delicious, delicious! ! ! ! !】

[MMMU A Piece of Chocolate: Holding my laptop, lying on the bed, burp~ Today's happy renewal of my social animal fat otaku subscription has been successful, thank you Mianmian =333=]

[Listening to the spring rain in a small building overnight: Fragrant, crispy and tender, I want to suck my fingers after eating it, I just had a full meal and I am ready again hehehehehehe]

[Youyunduo: The laurel leaves and fruit wine are a perfect match, the finishing touch. The refreshing sweetness of the berry wine and the tenderness of the ribs are perfectly combined. Thank you, host, for your hard work.]

The final night of the rookie competition was open for a total of eleven hours, and Gu Yumian stayed in the top spot in terms of popularity for a full eleven hours.

So far, the total number of online viewers is 760 million.

...This number is being updated and climbed rapidly.

Gu Yumian took the children to sit near the lake, eating grilled pork ribs, drinking juice and low-alcohol wine - Gu Yumian didn't dare to touch the high-alcohol wine again. He always felt that he hadn't recovered from the previous drink for three or four hours.

The moonlight fell quietly, and the entire utopia was shrouded in a festive atmosphere. The charcoal in the bonfire crackled, and sparks flickered on the shimmering lake.

The little Tangyuan and the little Husky had amazing patience and endurance when it came to eating. The little Tangyuan nestled softly in Gu Yumian's arms, and even though his belly was already bulging with food, he still begged for the next piece.

Just then.

There was a burst of bubbles in the lake, and two heads, one big and one small, popped up, looking at Gu Yumian with eager eyes.

The little fox was sitting close to the lake and was startled, burping rapidly. Gu Yumian hurriedly patted its back to comfort it.

The little snow leopard's vision suddenly became sharp. He looked over and then moved back dejectedly.

Gu Yumian: "..."

Gu Yumian was also slightly startled, but soon realized that it was an old acquaintance -

The mermaid jumped and sat sideways on the edge of the lake. Together with the giant dragon in the lake, she first looked at the ribs on the grill, and then looked at Gu Yumian. The couple's eyes were sparkling with the same brilliance.

Gu Yumian couldn't help but laugh as he put the freshly grilled ribs on a small plate and handed them to them, "Long time no see."

The mermaid smiled and hugged Gu Yumian, and only let go after a few seconds under the death stare of the little snow leopard.

The addition of the mermaid and dragon couple made the atmosphere even more lively. Many people were seeing them up close for the first time, and it was a novelty, but they only circled around Gu Yumian, which made people even more curious.

The party continues.

Time passed quietly, and the bonfire party had reached a certain stage.

By this time, the adults had all had a few drinks and were a little tipsy. The young orcs began toasting and dancing with their favorites. Some couples sat by the campfire, holding hands and gazing at the moon.

The mermaid and the giant dragon, which had transformed into a human form, snuggled together, their tails creating ripples on the lake.

The little snow leopard looked at the pairs of lovers, and then at Gu Yumian.

"Are you envious?" Gu Yumian looked at its eyes, scratched the side of the snow leopard's neck, and joked.

The little snow leopard's back stiffened for a moment and it glanced at him.

Gu Yumian continued, "Want to come with the girl you like?"

The little cub at home has a crush on someone. This makes Gu Yumian feel emotional and curious. He can't help but keep making fun of the little snow leopard.

The little snow leopard was instantly discouraged: "..."

The little husky and the little glutinous rice dumpling were completely clueless. They were already full and burping in Gu Yumian's arms. The little fox tucked in its large tail and glanced cautiously at the little snow leopard and Gu Yumian.

It was at this moment that the light of the bonfire dimmed little by little.

Gu Yumian: “?”

"Excuse me, the bonfire seems to be getting dim?" He couldn't help but ask the person next to him, "It seems that it's not time to end yet."

The man replied cheerfully, "No, it's like this every year during the Berry Festival bonfire night. The bonfire in the middle is extinguished for one minute - and there's also a visual blocker so you can't see anything."

"So, you can kiss as much as you want with the one you like at this time."

Gu Yumian: "..."

User 18676: That's too much! This is a beautiful custom that has nothing to do with single people.

[Pink Puff: If I were there, I might not be able to resist taking the opportunity to kiss Mian Mian madly...]

[South China tigers never go on blind dates: Police officer, this is the man.]

[Puff: I’m not, I didn’t!! Woo woo woo]

Little Tangyuan really likes kissing - of course not that kind of kiss, and the little guy doesn't know what that kind of kiss means.

It first held Gu Yumian's hand and kissed it, then kissed the ears of the little fox and the little husky, and wanted to kiss the little snow leopard, but was pushed away in disgust by the little snow leopard who was obviously distracted.

The moonlight was quiet, and the light from the campfire gradually dimmed.

Gu Yumian was in a very relaxed mood. After all, it had nothing to do with him and the children, so he just took it as a quiet moment in the midst of noise and rested for a minute or so...

"Then please kiss whoever you like."

With that, someone said something, and the bonfire went out completely. The moonlight blended with the lights, creating an incomparably charming atmosphere.
