Chapter 205 Food



Nanqu worked all day on this tractor, and even dinner was prepared by others.

Nanqu worked until after 10 p.m., completely overhauling and reassembling the machine. Finding that everything except that one spot was fine, Nanqu felt much more relaxed.

Just as Nanqu was adding diesel fuel and preparing to start the fire, the crew suddenly called her back.

"Here's the thing, the homeowner saw the video of you repairing the tractor today. This tractor is his prized possession, but unfortunately, it was left unused for ten years due to a broken part. Now, he saw you repairing the machine and contacted the program team, hoping to witness the machine start up again with you."

Nan Qu understood. She had noticed long ago that the machine was well protected, but she didn't expect people to care so much about the tractor, let alone come here just to see it start.

Although she didn't understand, Nanqu expressed her respect: "When will they arrive?"

The staff member said, "Actually, they've already arrived at the hotel in town, but it's too late, so his son won't let them come here. After all, the farmer is over seventy years old now. That's why they called to see if you can light the fire tomorrow?"

Nan Qu didn't think it was a problem: "No problem. Just let me know when they arrive."

At this moment, the old man watched the live broadcast and couldn't understand what Nan Qu was saying, but the subtitles translated it. In order to see what Nan Qu was saying, the old man snatched the old lady's reading glasses.

You see, this old man is incredibly stubborn and refuses to accept old age. To him, reading glasses are a disgrace!

Upon seeing Nan Qu's agreement, the old man was overjoyed: "My Thomas, he can finally work again!"

His son was worried that his father's excitement would affect his health, and he also worried about how disappointed his father would be if the machine didn't work as he expected. That's why he chose to let them stay at the hotel for one night and go the next day.

It was to help my father calm down.

The next morning, Nanqu made breakfast early as usual.

With money now available, Nanqu made breakfast much more lavish. She not only steamed buns and made rice porridge, but also gave each person a boiled egg and a glass of milk.

When the live stream viewers saw that everyone had a glass of milk, some people started gossiping again:

[Nanqu is deliberately stirring up controversy. They said before that they wouldn't let children drink milk, but now they're allowing it?]

[It's all for the sake of the show; you'll understand once you watch it a few more times.]

[Bored, leaving.]

...

After these people stirred up trouble, the show's fans became unhappy and came out one by one to speak up for Southern Opera:

"You're going too far with what you're saying. Anyone who watched the show knows that they only had 200 yuan in total, and they only bought five kilograms of milk. None of the adults drank it yesterday; they gave it all to the children."

Nan Qu used Nan Xing's milk to make bread. Was it because the child didn't like it? Everyone else got some, but Nan Xing didn't, and Nan Xing didn't seem upset. Yet you're all here accusing her of creating a publicity stunt! Don't you people have any conscience?

[Exactly! Yesterday I thought Little Star didn't like milk, but now I know they used their own portion for breakfast. And yesterday, Nanqu earned all their money, so is there anything wrong with them buying milk with their own earnings?]

Unlike the noisy live stream, everyone at the dinner table was remarkably quiet. Aside from the sounds of chewing and the clinking of bowls and chopsticks, there was no other noise.

After finishing the meal, Yu Zhi couldn't help but say, "Xiao Qu's cooking is still the most popular. Look how much the kids are enjoying it. It's a world of difference compared to last night."

Yu Zhi cooked dinner last night, and he can attest to it, because even his own son said his cooking was bad.

Yu Zhi couldn't help but laugh and cry when he thought about this.

My son always thinks he's a man and doesn't like drinking milk. He says it's something only babies drink.

But yesterday he asked to drink it himself.

Yu Zhi was still curious, but his son didn't hold back and said, "Dinner wasn't good tonight. I didn't eat enough and I'm hungry."

Yu Zhi truly understands what it means to be betrayed by one's own son.

Just now, Yu Zhi saw that all the children were eating heartily, even the youngest, Xin Xin, had eaten a steamed bun. Yu Zhi realized that it wasn't just his son who hadn't eaten enough yesterday; everyone else had too.

Yu Zhi readily admitted this fact, because he himself believed it to be true.

Seeing what Yu Zhi said, the others echoed his sentiments:

"Indeed, when it comes to cooking, Xiao Qu is the best. My child is notoriously picky about food."

“My daughter Cai Cai has needed to be chased around and fed since she was little. I don’t know if my mom watched the live stream, but if she did, she probably wouldn’t believe it. From a young age, our family has gone to great lengths to solve the problem of her eating. At first, she didn’t like the food we cooked at home, so we hired a nanny, but she still didn’t like it. Later, my mom watched the videos and cooked for her herself, but she still wouldn’t eat.”

People who are extremely picky eaters can be a real headache.

But she's already seven years old, and she can't keep drinking formula every day. So we took her out to eat, trying all kinds of restaurants and different chefs' cooking, but she still didn't like it.

Seeing her like this now, I don't know how to thank Nanqu enough.

Nan Qu suddenly realized why Hu Qianqian's hostility towards her had disappeared. It turned out that a meal had resolved the issue.

However, Nan Qu frowned as she looked at Cai Cai: "Although it is presumptuous of me, may I take the child's pulse?"

Hu Qianqian was a little confused. What kind of plot was this? How was she supposed to respond? It wasn't in the script. Oh, there was no script, so she was even more clueless.

Not only Hu Qianqian, but even Yu Zhi looked over.

At this moment, Zhuang Shi and Ji Qi, having finished washing the dishes, walked over and were puzzled to see the three of them, who had just been chatting, now so quiet.

"What are you doing? Are you playing '1, 2, 3, don't move'?"

Nan Qu realized that her words were rather presumptuous, but unlike adults, she could usually spot the illness in just a few glances, but she couldn't do that with children. When she first saw Cai Cai, she felt that the child might have some problems, but when she saw that she was eating without any problems, she thought she must have been mistaken.

It wasn't until Hu Qianqian said those words that Nan Qu realized that perhaps her previous judgment was correct.

The problem is that the food she cooks might be a little different.

"Of course it's different. Although you are an ordinary person, you are the master of Taotie! Taotie is born with a love for food, and as its master, you will naturally inherit this ability."
