Back at the shelter, Lu Fan and An Lan breathed a sigh of relief, their tense nerves instantly relaxing. The two of them dragged their exhausted bodies and collapsed into chairs like deflated balloons.

"Finally back. Sure enough, there's no place like home."

Lu Fan couldn't help but stretch out a big yawn and sighed contentedly.

An Lan smiled and patted the big black dog sitting obediently beside her: "Yeah, it always feels unsettling when you're out. It's always more reassuring at home, isn't it, Big Black?"

Big Black squatted obediently at An Lan's feet, wagging its tail happily, sticking out its tongue, and occasionally making "woof woof" sounds.

After resting for a while, Lu Fan stood up, picked up a few bamboo tubes, and turned to An Lan, instructing her, "I'll go fetch some water."

An Lan also stood up, picked up a few bamboo tubes, and said with a smile, "I'll go with you, that way we can bring back more."

The two walked side by side toward the spring. Along the way, a gentle breeze brought a touch of coolness, dispelling some of their fatigue.

Arriving at the spring, Lu Fan squatted down and gently immersed the bamboo tube into the water.

With a "glug-glug" sound, clear spring water merrily flowed into the bamboo tube, creating ripples on the surface.

An Lan stood aside, focused on stuffing the bamboo tubes filled with water. These bamboo tubes were quite large, each like a small bucket, and heavy when filled with water.

After filling the tank with water, Lu Fan unconsciously walked towards the ecological tank.

He leaned closer to examine them closely and saw that some of the potatoes were already ripe. The withered plants looked like veterans who had completed their mission; though they were somewhat weathered, they could not hide the satisfaction of the harvest.

Lu Fan smiled and murmured softly, "Goodness, I've finally waited for you to mature. All the careful care I've given you over this period of time has finally paid off."

An Lan leaned over to take a look, and upon hearing Lu Fan's words, couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Looks like we can have potatoes tonight."

Then, Lu Fan skillfully stretched out his hands and gently dug into the soil.

In no time, he held several round potatoes in his hands, their simple luster shimmering in the sunlight—a precious gift from nature.

Lu Fan smiled and replied to An Lan, "Yes, I'll make you my signature pork stew with potatoes tonight. I guarantee you'll be completely satisfied."

The two returned to the shelter with water and potatoes.

However, before starting to cook, Lu Fan didn't forget to take care of the livestock in the shed.

He entered the shed, and Lightning and the other companions, sensing their master's arrival, all barked affectionately.

As Lu Fan added water to their tanks, he murmured, "Drink more, grow strong and healthy. I'll have to rely on you to work for me in the future."

After tending to the livestock, Lu Fan returned to the house and took out a piece of pork from the stored ingredients.

This piece of pork has clear marbling and a perfect ratio of fat to lean meat; it's clearly a top-quality ingredient.

He skillfully cut the pork into evenly sized cubes, his movements fluid and natural, as if he were creating an art piece.

The cut pieces of meat were neatly arranged to the side.

He then put the meat into the earthenware pot, along with the washed and chopped potatoes, covered it, and let them simmer slowly in the pot.

In an instant, the kitchen was filled with a faint aroma of meat, the fragrance drifting gently, as if foreshadowing the birth of a delicious meal.

Of course, it would take some time to cook the meat until it was tender, so the two began to check the shelter to see if anything was missing or if there had been any accidents.

And so, water and fire were added continuously along the way, and before they knew it, it was getting dark.

Seeing that it was almost time, Lu Fan went to check on the chicken coop.

Sure enough, the three eggs lay quietly in the henhouse, gleaming softly in the dim light.

Chinese contestant Lu Fan triggers a 10,000-fold return.

【3 fresh eggs * 10 million】

Lu Fan gently picked up the egg, a slight smile playing on his lips, and said to the hen, "Very good, very energetic. Keep it up, at least two eggs a day, otherwise you have no value."

hen:……

Back at the stove, Lu Fan heated the pot and added lard.

As he watched the hot oil begin to steam, he cracked the eggs into the pan.

Instantly, the egg mixture sizzled happily in the pan, and the golden egg mixture quickly solidified, emitting an enticing aroma.

Seeing that one side of the egg had already taken shape, Lu Fan skillfully used chopsticks to flip the egg over and fry it until both sides were golden brown and looked very appealing.

After frying three eggs, Lu Fan poured water into the pot.

When the water boiled, he put the noodles in.

Lu Fan stirred the noodles with chopsticks from time to time, and slowly, the noodles softened and tumbled happily in the pot.

He added the appropriate amount of seasonings, stirred gently until well mixed, and soon a large pot of fragrant egg noodles was ready.

Meanwhile, the pork stew with potatoes was also ready.

Lu Fan lifted the lid, and a rich and mellow aroma instantly filled the entire room, making people swallow hard.

The stewed pork is so tender it melts in your mouth; the soft, powdery potatoes absorb the meat's aroma, becoming even more delicious and satisfying, making every bite a delight.

Lu Fan served the dishes and egg noodles, and sat down opposite An Lan, ready to enjoy this sumptuous dinner.

Big Black was already attracted by the aroma and paced back and forth at their feet, occasionally barking urgently as if urging, "Give me food, give me food!"

Lu Fan smiled and picked up a piece of meat, tossing it to Da Hei: "Don't rush, don't rush, you'll get your share."

Big Black happily picked up the meat, ran to the side and wolfed it down, eating with great relish. In no time, he had finished the meat completely, and even licked his lips with a lingering sense of satisfaction.

An Lan picked up a piece of pork and ate it. It was very fragrant and tender. She couldn't help but praise it.

"Your cooking skills are getting better and better. The pork stew with potatoes and egg noodles are a perfect match. It's so delicious. Every bite is so satisfying, just like the delicious food we could only eat during Chinese New Year when we were kids."

Lu Fan nodded slightly, a hint of pride on his face: "It's just that we don't have rice right now, otherwise I would cook you a plain white porridge with nothing in it, and I guarantee it will taste like home."

An Lan almost spat out her food, laughing so hard she almost fell over: "You're a master of memorizing plot points! I remember seeing this TV series before. The male lead's name was something like Song, and it seems he was criticized by state media for some of the storylines."

The live stream chat instantly became lively:

"It was here that he made me porridge, making me feel at home for the first time, hahaha, this line is amazing (please don't criticize, little fairy)."

"Lu Fan is really something (facepalm and wry smile)."

"Goodbye, Lu Fan; goodbye, Lu Fan; never to be seen again, is that right?"

"I really don't understand why these celebrities are still around, even though they haven't created any value (just kidding)."

"You don't understand. Since ancient times, there have always been officials who enjoy listening to operas, so actors have always existed. Besides, aren't there plenty of bosses waiting to launder money? Is there anything more expensive than hiring celebrities?"
