Chapter 15 (Three in One) (1)



After giving this answer, Su Jin's expression instantly turned gloomy, and he covered his heart with his hands, as if he had suffered a huge psychological trauma.

"Pfft—" Someone in the crowd couldn't help but let out a low laugh.

Tao Tao's eyes lit up instantly when she heard this answer. She turned around and ran to Sister Nini: "Sister Nini, do you think they look alike~"

Sister Nini tried to hold back again and again before finally swallowing the laughter that was on the tip of her tongue.

After watching such a good show, Sister Nini could barely accept the strange-looking clay figures in Tao Tao's hands.

She took the clay figurine from Tao Tao, looked at it for a moment, and nodded seriously: "Well, it really looks like it." After saying that, whether intentionally or unintentionally, Sister Nini raised her eyes and looked at Su Jin again.

Su Jin: “…”

Tired, destroy this world.

When Su Jin felt hopeless, Tao Tao looked at Sister Nini with bright eyes, raised her little hand, and gently tugged at her sleeve: "Sister Nini, does this count as completing the mission?"

"Well, it's done."

"Then...where is the treasure?" Tao Tao looked at Sister Nini expectantly.

Seeing Tao Tao's sparkling eyes, Sister Nini couldn't help but laugh and teased her deliberately: "Tao Tao is a smart child. Guess where the treasure is?"

Tao Tao glanced around the courtyard, finally hesitantly landing on the pottery kiln next to Sister Nini. She tentatively raised her hand and pointed at the small pottery kiln. "Is the treasure in here?"

Sister Nini didn't say "right" or "wrong", but just asked: "What do you think is in it, Taotao?"

Tao Tao tilted her head, raised her nose, and sniffed hard.

When Tao Tao made this move, Su Jin also sniffed, but smelled nothing.

"There's no taste at all..." Su Jin couldn't help but mutter softly.

[The pottery kiln is very well sealed. If there really is something inside, it shouldn't be possible to smell it, right?]

[The production team is being really cunning! If they really hid the item in the pottery kiln, it would be really hard to get it...]

[What exactly is the program team's treasure? Could it be some kind of handicraft?]

[Handicrafts? What does that smell like?]

[Suddenly I became curious about what the program team's "treasure" was.]

Tao Tao was not disturbed and concentrated on distinguishing the smell.

The fragrance was very faint, as if it was separated by layers of something other than the pottery kiln. But even so, there was still a faint but attractive fragrance that broke through the layers of obstacles and reached Tao Tao's nose, and was keenly captured by her.

After smelling it for a while, Tao Tao frowned slightly and opened her mouth, but seemed to be hesitating whether to say it or not.

"How is it? Have you guessed what's in the pottery kiln?" Seeing Tao Tao's conflicted expression, Sister Nini asked with a smile.

Tao Tao raised her head. Although the answer she guessed was a little unusual, she trusted her sense of smell: "Is it... roast chicken?"

When Sister Nini heard Tao Tao's answer, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

When she asked this question, she just wanted to tease Tao Tao, but she didn't expect that Tao Tao could actually smell it.

"How did you guess that?"

Sister Nini's answer undoubtedly acknowledged that Tao Tao guessed correctly.

For a moment, except for Tao Tao, Su Jin next to her and the audience in the live broadcast room were all a little scared.

Is this really roast chicken?

[Wait! Isn't this a pottery kiln?]

[So, with so many layers of separation, how did Taotao sense it? Was it just through her nose?]

[Wow—is Taotao’s sense of smell so strong? (Shocked)]

Wait until Sister Ni Ni opens the pottery kiln and takes out the things wrapped in layers on a tray. After cracking the outermost layer of mud, she gently lifts a corner of the lotus leaf, and the rich fragrance instantly spreads in the surrounding air.

The moment she smelled the fragrance, Tao Tao couldn't help but widen her eyes slightly, her gaze fixed on the tray.

As the lotus leaves slowly unfolded, the beggar's chicken underneath finally revealed its true appearance.

Wrapped in layers of lotus leaves and soil, and thanks to the high temperature and sealing of the pottery kiln, the beggar's chicken is slowly cooked through slowly and evenly for a long time, and its surface becomes golden in color. Every inch of its skin is filled with a mouth-watering fullness.

When the lotus leaf was fully unfolded, the people around who saw the full appearance of the beggar's chicken couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

As if worried that the audience in the live broadcast room would not be able to experience the temptation of Beggar's Chicken, the program team also specially gave the Beggar's Chicken a 360-degree rotating high-definition shot.

Under the magnified lens, the audience can even watch through the screen as a drop of juice naturally stewed from the beggar chicken slowly falls from the skin of the beggar chicken.

“Gudong——”

At the same time, I don’t know how many viewers in front of the live broadcast room couldn’t help swallowing.

[Wuwuwuwuwuwu… Spreading poison in the middle of the day, what the hell?]

[What kind of show is this? (Falls)]

[I've decided! I'm having beggar's chicken for lunch today!]

Sister Ni Ni placed the beggar's chicken on a tray, placed it on the stone table in the courtyard, and called out, "Would you like to try it?"

Where is the treasure?

Su Jin frowned, but before he could speak, Tao Tao, who had heard the invitation, ran over impatiently: "Thank you, Sister Ni Ni~"

After saying that, Tao Tao sat down naturally beside the stone table. She turned around and saw Su Jin still standing there. She even waved to him naturally: "Brother, come and eat beggar's chicken~" Her movements were so skillful as if she was the owner of this courtyard.

Seeing Tao Tao's familiar look, Sister Nini couldn't help but smile.

When Su Jin came over and sat down, Tao Tao had already raised her little hand and carefully removed a drumstick from the beggar's chicken.

When the chicken legs were separated from the chicken, tender chicken meat was revealed under the golden skin. As Tao Tao's little hands moved, even tender juice came out from the gap between the skin and muscles, quietly sliding down and soaking the bottom layer of skin and chicken meat.

The moment Tao Tao put the beggar's chicken leg into her mouth, she couldn't help but widen her eyes, and only two words remained in her mind -

tasty!

The system, which was resting in the system space, immediately felt the movements in Tao Tao's brain.

If Tao Tao's thoughts could be turned into barrages, a series of "delicious" must be floating through her mind right now.

Tao Tao couldn't wait to bite into the chicken leg, sucking the bones clean, and finally put down the chicken leg bone reluctantly. As soon as her left hand put down the chicken leg bone, her right hand immediately reached for the new chicken.

Seeing Tao Tao eating like that, Su Jin couldn't help but tear off a piece of beggar's chicken.

Will the beggar's chicken cooked in a pottery kiln be delicious?

With a half-believing and half-doubting attitude, Su Jin took a tentative bite, and then he had no time to speak.

[Looking at the other groups, it seems they are still on their way to completing their tasks, but here they are already eating and drinking.]

[Suddenly I’m curious about how delicious this is (cat is curious)]

[Wait! Don’t you feel like you’re missing something?]

[!!! I remember now, where is the treasure?]

Tao Tao was happily biting the beggar's chicken when suddenly, her teeth seemed to touch something hard, causing her to let out a soft "Ah".

"What's wrong?" Su Jin lowered his head and looked at Tao Tao immediately. He didn't even notice that there was a hint of nervousness in his eyes.

Tao Tao looked down at the beggar's chicken in her hand, her eyes widening, "Brother, there's a plate~"

There was a thin piece of bamboo hidden in the tender chicken meat of the beggar chicken in Tao Tao's hand. It was the "culprit" that caused Tao Tao to hit his teeth.

"How could there be bamboo strips in beggar's chicken! What if it gets into your stomach?" Su Jin frowned slightly, picked up the small bamboo strips, and was about to throw them away when Tao Tao pulled him back.

"Brother, there are words on the board!"

Wait...wait!

An incredible idea suddenly came to Su Jin's mind. He turned the bamboo slip over, and the words on it came into his eyes clearly -

treasure.

Simple, crude and direct.

Below the word "treasure", there is a string of numbers written -

021

[Wait! So there really are treasures in the pottery kiln (shocked face)]

[I have to say, my expression right now is exactly the same as Su Jin's... This is too outrageous, right?! Who would have thought that the treasure was actually a small bamboo piece, and hidden in a beggar's chicken!]

[Not to mention Su Jin couldn't think of it, even with so many viewers in the live broadcast room, no one guessed it!]

[The production team's brain circuit is really amazing. How could they come up with such an outrageous idea? ? ?]

"Wow--"

Tao Tao opened her mouth wide, her eyes slowly moving down to the beggar's chicken. She suddenly tilted her head and made a reasonable guess: "There's only one piece of beggar's chicken...?"

Sister Nini gave a mysterious smile and said, "It's up to you to find it on your own."

After hearing this answer, Su Jin, who was already familiar with the routine of variety shows, understood the hidden meaning, and his gaze on the Beggar's Chicken instantly became hot.

There must be other small bamboo pieces in this beggar's chicken!

Although it is not clear what the small bamboo pieces are used for, after yesterday's recording, Su Jin has already understood that every task given to them by the program team is closely linked to the next segment.

After realizing this, Su Jin's attitude towards Beggar Chicken suddenly became hot.

With the joint efforts of Su Jin and Tao Tao, they skinned and deboned a whole beggar chicken, almost tore it into hand-shredded chicken, and ate it cleanly.

In the end, they peeled out a total of 6 small bamboo pieces from the beggar's chicken.

Su Jin cleaned the six small bamboo pieces, dried them and put them in his pocket.

***

The sky was filled with orange sunset glow, and the sun was exerting its last remaining heat in the sky.

Su Jin carried Tao Tao back to the gathering place yesterday, and the other four groups also arrived one after another.

There were 6 tables at the scene, each with something on it, covered by a large black cloth, making it impossible to see what was under the black cloth.

Several families gathered together. The adults were quite polite, but the children were not affected at all.

Seeing Tao Tao from afar, Gu Shanshan's eyes lit up. She rushed towards Tao Tao like a cannonball and hugged her little friend: "Tao Tao, long time no see, I missed you so much!"

Being hugged so warmly, Tao Tao subconsciously became excited and couldn't help but smile sweetly. She hugged Gu Shanshan tightly with her backhand: "Shanshan~ I miss you too~"

The two little kids hugged each other tightly. They had only been separated for less than 6 hours, but they acted as if they had been separated for a very long time.

Watching this classic scene that was like a "long-awaited reunion" in an idol drama, the two children at the center of the vortex were very serious, but the adults next to them couldn't help but cover their mouths and held back their laughter for a long time.

After several other families arrived one after another, the five children quickly gathered together. Even the shy Meng Liu and the seemingly cold Feng Jiayan were dragged into the circle of children by Tao Tao, calling them "Little Willow" and "Jia Jia" in each hand.

After the five groups of families arrived, the host stood in the open space in front and announced the rules for tonight.

"After today's daytime mission, everyone should have obtained our 'treasures', right?"

Hearing the host's voice, Cao Haoyu was the first to actively raise his hand: "We got it!"

After Cao Haoyu spoke, Gu Shanshan, who had not originally prepared to speak, turned her head and glared at him in dissatisfaction.

Are you the only one with a loud voice?

Immediately, Gu Shanshan, not to be outdone, raised her hand high and shouted even louder than Cao Haoyu: "We got it too!"

Several other children also spoke up one after another to say “I got it”.

Watching the tense atmosphere between the hero and the heroine, a wave of satisfaction came from the system.

[As expected of the male and female protagonists in the original plot, they have known each other since childhood and have already shown signs of being a pair of bickering lovers at such a young age.]

[It seems that the cannon fodder female supporting role is also easy to complete. The previous few times might have been accidents.]

The system made an extremely optimistic estimate.

"Now, each group of guests, please take out the 'treasures' in your hands and place them on the small iron plate in front of you."

Although they did not understand the program team's intention, the guests still placed the small bamboo pieces they received on the small iron plate.

"I'm sure everyone is curious about what these little bamboo pieces represent." The host looked around with a smile and announced the answer, "Each little bamboo piece actually represents an ingredient. Tonight's task is—"

"Cooking Battle!"

When the children heard these five words, they were still happy, but the adults had different reactions.

Those who usually cook, such as Gong Rao and Tan Zishi, now relaxed their brows and smiled; those who usually don't cook, like Qin Xuan and Shen Tianyu, had a slightly embarrassed look on their faces.

There was only one person standing there, his face expressionless.

Su Jin stood in the crowd and looked deeply at the director in the crowd.

This segment is aimed at him!

He swore!

[Hahahahahahahahahahahaha, will I be lucky enough to witness Su Jin's "cooking skills" again today?]

[This is hilarious! I bet someone on the production team must have seen the variety show Su Jin was on before!]

[Are you talking about that time when I fried spicy and sour potato shreds into rice crust and used the pot as an ashtray? (dog head)]

[? ? ? Suddenly curious, which show are you talking about?]

[Guide to the first episode of "Cooking Star," a variety show Su Jin took on shortly after her debut. Go watch a clip, you'll come back and thank me (snickering)]

[Haha ...]

[I watched some clips and was stunned. Is this something a normal human could do? This is beyond the capabilities of carbon-based organisms!]

[I heard from friends in the industry that "Rising Star" originally wanted to invite Su Jin as a regular guest, after all, his popularity was there. However, after the first episode was recorded, the chefs who served as judges and the other participating guests were deeply shocked, and the production team finally asked Su Jin to leave...]

[Help! Su Jin's image in my mind is getting closer and closer to that of a comedian (laughing and crying)]

It is not only the audience in the live broadcast room who know about this dark history, but some of the guests who also participated in the program have also heard about it.

For a moment, Su Jin stood there and could feel the gazes coming from all directions.

Tao Tao didn't know about Su Jin's previous feat. After hearing the rules, she raised her hand, gently pulled Su Jin's sleeve, and cheered him up with bright eyes: "Brother, Tao Tao believes you can do it!"

Seeing Tao Tao's gaze, Su Jin instead raised his fighting spirit.

It’s just cooking! Who can’t do that?

Although he is not very good at cooking, there are always simple cooking methods. At worst, he can steam or boil it later!

Encouraged by Tao Tao, Su Jin adjusted his mindset and faced the upcoming cooking competition again.

"There are only five children judging the winner tonight."

"Gu Shanshan, Cao Haoyu, Meng Liu, Feng Jiayan, and..."

"Tao Tao!"

When their names were called, several children, even Feng Jiayan, who usually had the coldest face, subconsciously stood up straight.

When "Tao Tao" was called, Tao Tao excitedly raised her hands high and answered loudly "Yes".

"Each child has one vote for the dish they think is the most delicious. Based on tonight's results, the guest with the most votes will receive a reward; correspondingly, the guest with the fewest votes will receive a punishment."

When he heard the word "reward", Su Jin still looked indifferent, but after hearing the word "punishment", his expression instantly became serious.

The host then announced the rules: "Each number on the bamboo stick corresponds to a different ingredient. Odd numbers correspond to non-vegetarian ingredients like meat and fish, while even numbers correspond to vegetarian ingredients like leaves and roots. If the bamboo stick ends with 0, it represents a staple food."

"After the answer is revealed, you have 10 minutes to exchange ingredients with other groups."

While the host was announcing the rules, the guests were also busy looking at the numbers on the small bamboo slips they had received.

"Now, let's reveal the ingredients that the numbers correspond to."

As the staff lifted the black cloth, Tao Tao couldn't help but exclaim "Wow" and widened her eyes.

Hidden under the black cloth are neatly arranged ingredients.

Eggs, beef, pork belly, fish...

Chinese cabbage, cabbage, carrots, tomatoes...

The bottom layer also contains staple foods such as rice and flour.

The table was filled with a wide variety of ingredients.

"Number 21 corresponds to... beef brisket!"

"We seem to have carrots and fish..."

"Number 10 is rice! Maybe I can make fried rice or something..."

The moment the adults saw the ingredients, they started to think about it in their minds.

Children's ideas are somewhat different from those of adults.

"That corn is so beautiful!" Gu Shanshan looked at the fruit corn in the corner, and her eyes lit up slightly.

The program team specially selected the selected fruit corn, which has full grains and small size. It is well wrapped in plastic wrap and looks particularly beautiful.

"Humph, judging by her appearance, she's really just a kid." Cao Haoyu snorted softly and argued with Gu Shanshan, "Meat is definitely more useful."

Hearing this, Meng Liu couldn't help but join the discussion in a gentle voice: "But... I think vegetables are more delicious."

Feng Jiayan suddenly said, "The most important thing is definitely the staple food."

For a moment, all the little kids' eyes were focused on Tao Tao, and they all asked in unison, "Tao Tao, what do you think?"

Under the gaze of four pairs of eyes, Tao Tao stared closely at the ingredients, smiling with two dimples: "As long as it's delicious, Tao Tao likes it~"

A storm just disappeared silently.

The audience in the live broadcast room couldn't help but smile as they watched the children's discussion.

[The kids are so cute, seriously discussing what to eat.]

[I think there is nothing wrong with what Taotao said, as long as it is delicious, I like it kkk]

[This meat lover is applying to compete (serious face) Meat is the most delicious thing in the world!]

[Vegetable lovers strongly object! Meat dishes without vegetables are just a mess. After just two bites, you get tired of it.]

[Carb lovers, go wild! Where did you put the carbs? How can meat and vegetables taste good on their own? Carbs alone are still incredibly delicious!]

[Hey! There’s no need to start a real argument in the comments (laughing and crying)]

The children at the scene had already shaken hands and made peace, but a group of childish adults in the live broadcast room started arguing.

"Starting now, you have 10 minutes to exchange ingredients."

As the host announced the start of the food exchange, the adults seemed to be at a farmers' market in an instant.

When Gong Rao saw the ingredients, she had already thought of what she was going to make. She walked over to Qin Xuan and proposed her idea: "I want some green onions. In exchange, I can trade you the ginger I have."

There is basically enough left over for every ingredient prepared by the program team, so it is unlikely that they will be used up in one dish.

Qin Xuan glanced at the bundle of green onions in his hand and agreed to the deal without hesitation: "No problem."

But when everyone else was exchanging enthusiastically, Su Jin was the only one standing there. He didn't exchange with others, but turned on his mobile phone.

Seeing Su Jin's reaction, the black fans who hated Su Jin in the live broadcast room seemed to have immediately found a handle.

[Tsk tsk tsk, are you so careless about recording a show? You're playing with your phone right in front of the live camera?]

[If they are so unprofessional in front of the live camera, who knows what the recorded show will be like]

[Young actors nowadays think they are awesome just because they have a little bit of popularity. They are totally different from the older generation of entertainers.]

While the black fans were busy with their comments, the live camera quietly moved closer to Su Jin. For a moment, everyone could clearly see Su Jin's screen.

The screen showed a familiar search page. Su Jin clicked on an article titled:

How to cook beef brisket best? 3 home cooking methods for beef brisket

Scroll down and you’ll see all kinds of recipes, with keywords like “home-style”, “simple”, “lazy method” and “even a fool can do it”.

For a moment, the black fans who were just posting enthusiastically seemed to be choked and fell silent in an instant.

Su Jin's fans were not polite at all and laughed louder than anyone else in the live broadcast room.

[This is all so busy and trance-like, cramming for an exam at the last minute. Isn't this a bit too last minute?]

[It doesn’t matter, everyone knows you can’t cook anyway (dog head)]

[I'm so anxious! Time is running out, why are you looking at "homely"? Listen to me! Just click on the "Even a Fool Can Get Started" part!]

[This is so funny! You guys are almost taking all the bamboo shoots on the mountain!]

Su Jin looked at the steps in the recipe and his confidence gradually grew.

It seems that cooking is not that difficult!

The first recipe has only 7 steps in total. The second recipe is even simpler, with only 5 steps in total!

Just as Su Jin was concentrating on cramming, after replacing the other ingredients, Gong Rao walked over to Su Jin and asked, "Is there anything you want to exchange?"

Su Jin raised his head suddenly: "Exchange?"

"Beef brisket is actually quite difficult to cook. Among all meats, shrimp is relatively easy to cook. It is very easy to cook and can be boiled first and then grilled, which is also very convenient."

After laying the groundwork for a while, Gong Rao proposed her own exchange idea: "How about I trade you half a bag of shrimp for a piece of beef brisket?"

Su Jin, who had just finished reading the recipe, was full of confidence. He rejected Gong Rao's request for a trade: "No need. I think making beef brisket is quite simple, so I'm going to make it."

Hearing this answer, Gong Rao, who had seen Su Jin's performance on "Cooking Star", raised her eyebrows slightly: "Are you sure you want to make beef brisket?"

Seeing the teasing look in Gong Rao's eyes, Su Jin instantly felt rebellious.

He snorted and said harshly, "The beef brisket I made will definitely be the most popular among the children tonight!"

After making those harsh remarks, Su Jin quietly pulled Tao Tao aside.

"Taotao, when we vote later, you will choose me, right?"

Where did the courage to say such harsh words go?

[This is so funny, is this a bribery scene? (dog head)]

[What bribery scene? This is clearly a favor-seeking scene.]

[(Loud speaker) Program crew, please look here! (Loud speaker) Someone is cheating here! (Loud speaker) Please confess quickly, Su Jin, and I will give you leniency. If you resist, I will give you severity. (Loud speaker) Give up all futile resistance.]

Tao Tao nodded vigorously, clenched her fists, and encouraged Su Jin: "Come on, brother!"

***

The 10-minute food exchange session ended quickly, and it was time for the highlight of the night—

Cooking battle.

In the adult group, the ratio of those who are good at cooking to those who are not is roughly 50-50.

As for Su Jin, according to the program team's classification, he cannot be considered as not good at cooking, he just can't cook at all.

Before the recording officially started, the director and the staff reviewed the variety shows that the guests had participated in before, and naturally got to know each guest's strengths and weaknesses.

But when the competition started, the director couldn't help but feel skeptical when he saw Su Jin's confident look.

Su Jin can’t really cook, right?

The cooking equipment prepared by the program team for the guests was also very basic. When five black cloths were pulled apart, five identical "kitchens" equipped with gas stoves, chopping boards, woks, soup pots and other equipment appeared in front of everyone.

Each guest was assigned a "kitchen" for them to use for tonight's competition.

As the whistle sounded, tonight's "Cooking Battle" officially kicked off.

Su Jin tied an apron around herself in a very professional manner and stood in front of the stove.

Tao Tao raised her little face and looked at Su Jin with stars in her eyes: "Wow~ Brother is so great~"

Hearing Tao Tao's praise, Su Jin straightened his back a little more and showed an unconcealable smile at the corner of his mouth.

But the next second, Su Jin put the beef brisket on the chopping board, but his expression suddenly froze.

What's the first step in the recipe?

Su Jin, who seemed full of confidence just now, reached into his pocket the next second and took out...

cell phone.

[Hahahahahahahahahaha, can you hold on a little longer? (I’m so disappointed in you)]

Let Su Jin go. It's already good that he's been able to hold on for this long.

[Am I the only one curious about what Su Jin is going to make with the beef brisket? Braised beef brisket? Pot roast beef brisket? Boiled beef brisket?]

While Su Jin was still checking the recipe, Gong Rao next to him had already started preparing the ingredients.

She held the potato in one hand and, with the other, kept the knife close to the surface. While her left hand rapidly rotated the potato, her right hand controlled the knife's angle, slightly adjusting it to the undulations of the potato's surface. In less than half a minute, the potato skin, a source of frustration for many kitchen novices, peeled off effortlessly, landing precisely in the trash can.

When Gong Rao started peeling potatoes, the attention of several children nearby was involuntarily drawn to her.

Tao Tao's gaze was almost fixed on Gong Rao's hand, and her mouth unconsciously opened slightly.

After processing a few potatoes in the same way, Gong Rao simply cleaned the surface of the knife and used the same knife to cut the potatoes into shreds evenly and quickly.

After cutting a potato and putting the shredded potatoes into salt water, gently move the potatoes with your hands, and the shredded potatoes will unfold in the salt water like pages of a book.

This series of operations instantly caused a series of "666" to float across the live broadcast room.

[Oh my god! This is too amazing (stunned)]

[I am uneducated, so I can only say "Fuck" to Gong Rao sincerely.]

If this wasn't a live broadcast, I'd have thought the production team had hired a chef to stand in for the scene!

[Is there any professional who can give me some feedback on Gong Rao's knife skills in this section?]

[As a semi-professional, I'm here uninvited. I wouldn't say I can compare to a top chef, but I'm already much better than an average person. If you only consider my knife skills, I personally think I'd have no problem being the head chef of a small restaurant.]

After seeing Gong Rao's brilliant performance, many viewers' attention shifted to the person next to her...

On Su Jin's body.

[This is so funny, the production crew must have arranged the positions intentionally, specifically placing Su Jin and Gong Rao close to each other]

[Hahahahahahahaha, if you guys hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have noticed. My attention was completely drawn to Gong Rao.]

If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have noticed there was a Su Jin (dog head) next to me.

[It's not too late to notice now. After Gong Rao prepared the two ingredients, Su Jin finally started cutting the beef brisket. This is really cause for celebration (applause)]

[Pfft, the barrage's ability to be sarcastic is truly top-notch]

The reactions in the live broadcast room had no effect on Su Jin. He followed the recipe carefully, performing the actions in the recipe one by one.

Recipe: Place the completely thawed beef brisket into the pot.

Su Jin carefully examined the beef brisket in his hand and asked, "This should be thawed, right?"

After saying that, he confidently poured all the beef brisket in his hand into the pot.

Recipe: Blanch the tomatoes in boiling water for 2 minutes to make it easier to peel them.

Su Jin scalded the fish in boiling water for two minutes, and without making a cross cut, he started peeling the skin directly.

“I feel like the tutorials aren’t very helpful…”

While Su Jin and the ingredients were working hard, the progress of the other groups was also different.

Qin Xuan and Shen Tianyu are not very good at cooking, so they chose conservative dishes.

Shen Tianyu chose the steamed egg with shrimp, which was not likely to go wrong no matter how it was prepared. He didn't ask for a standout dish, just to avoid being at the bottom.

Qin Xuan also took a pleasing approach. As the weather was hot, she planned to boil completely different vegetables, cut them into shreds, and make a simple home-style cold dish.

Tan Zishi and Gong Rao, who usually cook, were aiming for victory. Judging from the amount of food they prepared, it was obvious that neither of them planned to make just one dish.

As time passed, the aroma gradually wafted out from each "kitchen", and the children who smelled the aroma could no longer sit still.

Tao Tao's attention was completely attracted by the "kitchen". She opened her eyes wide, looked left and right, smelled left and right, and felt that there were too many fragrant smells in the air. With only a small nose, she couldn't smell them all.

“Beep, beep, beep—”

As the host blew the whistle, the cooking time was completely over, and the adults put the food on trays and brought it to the cleaned table.

"Three, two, one... open the lid!"

The moment the lid was opened, Tao Tao couldn't help but exclaim "Wow".

As the mist rises, fragrances of various styles float in the air. Although they are inevitably mixed together, they subtly maintain their own characteristics.

only……

Tao Tao sniffed slightly and smelled a slightly strange smell among the fragrance, which made her frown slightly.

Tan Zishi glanced at the four dishes on Gong Rao's tray and said, "It seems that Miss Gong came prepared."

Gong Rao looked at the boiled pork slices, a main dish on Tan Zishi's tray, and two child-friendly dishes, French fries and fried basa fish, and gave a fake smile, "Same here."

The two looked at each other and quickly looked away.

It seems that the outcome of tonight's battle will be decided between the two of them!

Qin Xuan and Shen Tianyu, who were standing on the left, looked at each other and read similar meanings in each other's eyes.

"Are you confident of winning?" Qin Xuan asked in a low voice.

Shen Tianyu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I just hope that I won't be at the bottom."

Qin Xuan also sighed: "Me too."

Shen Tianyu turned his head to look at the other end of the table and couldn't help but smile: "But I think I shouldn't be at the bottom."

Qin Xuan followed Shen Tianyu's gaze and soon revealed an expression that couldn't help laughing: "I think so too."

At the other end of the table, Su Jin stood beside the dining table and waved to Tao Tao enthusiastically.

"Taotao, try it and see if it's delicious." Su Jin confidently placed the tomato and beef brisket soup he had made on the dining table and lifted the lid of the casserole.

This time, he followed the most popular recipe on the Internet and made it completely from start to finish.

There will definitely be no problems!

"Yeah." Tao Tao nodded vigorously, but at the moment the fragrance wafted out, Tao Tao's steps paused slightly, and a look of astonishment appeared on her face.
