[ Miaomiao is so considerate. ]

[ I also want a sister like her. ]

[ Hey, if you say that again, a certain rich guy is going to get jealous again. ]

[ You guys only see the heartwarming scene, but I see a certain top celebrity being selfish. ]

[ That’s right. If he doesn’t know how to cook it, then don’t cook. It’ll only waste ingredients. ]

[ But Gu Che only wants to make a meal for his sister. What is wrong with that? ]

[ If he doesn’t learn to cook just because he doesn’t know how to cook, and he doesn’t cook for the people he values, are you going to scold him for not cherishing his family? ]

[ Why do I feel like everyone is ostracizing Zhou Yan? ]

[ That’s right. They just assigned the task and didn’t care about Zhou Yan. ]

[ Zhou Yan’s cooking is very good. Whoever eats it is lucky. ]

Gu Che ignored Zhou Yan and treated him like he didn’t exist. He didn’t care even if everyone saw this.

In the beginning, he could directly talk about this plagiarized person in a talent show and make him cry. When he found out that the show had shady deals, he immediately stopped recording. Now, he couldn’t be nice to this person just because they were shooting for the talent show.

With the pork in his hand and his sister in his other hand, Gu Che went to find Tang Tian.

“Can you please…” Gu Che trailed off as his sister pulled his finger. He had to correct himself and said, “Can you and Miaomiao teach me how to cook braised pork?”

“No problem.”

Tang Tian glanced at Zhou Yan’s stiff expression and smiled. “How about this? Zhou Yan will make minced meat with eggplants, while Gu Che, Miaomiao, Tang Jing, and I will be in charge of the braised pork and several other dishes.”

“Alright, then I’ll show everyone what I’m capable of,” said Zhou Yan.

The storm of splitting the ingredients ended just like that.

Tang Tian thought that Gu Che was only joking and didn’t think that Gu Miaomiao could cook, so he assigned her and Tang Jing the task of washing the vegetables. He also emphasized that washing the vegetables was very important.

Tang Jing immediately made a promise and brought Gu Miaomiao to wash the vegetables.

Gu Miaomiao followed him to wash the vegetables in a daze, forgetting that she promised she would teach her brother how to cook.

The villagers gave them many fruits and vegetables.

The vegetables were corn, eggplants, potatoes, tomatoes, lotus roots, and bitter gourd. The fruits were mainly peaches and plums that the villagers planted.

Tang Jing washed the vegetables and fruits very seriously as if he wanted to wash away the shame of not getting any ingredients.

“Tang Jing,” Gu Miaomiao called out.

The little boy paused and looked up with his cool little face. He found that Gu Miaomiao was holding a peach with a smile. “Let’s eat the peach together, okay?” she asked.

Tang Jing looked down at the unwashed vegetables and then looked up at her smiling face.

“Are you hungry?” he asked.

Gu Miaomiao nodded quickly. “I’m super hungry, and the peach smells super sweet.”

Tang Jing thought for a while. “I’ll go get a knife. No, children can’t play with knives. Let’s let my dad cut it open.”

“No need.”

After getting the approval of her friend, Gu Miaomiao broke the peach open with her bare hands and handed half of it to Tang Jing.

Tang Jing looked at his own wrist and then at Gu Miaomiao’s wrist.

Gu Miaomiao was already holding the peach and eating it in small bites, showing a happy expression from time to time.

“It’s delicious, super delicious!”

[ It looks delicious.]

[ Seeing her eating the peach, I want to eat peaches too.]

[ Isn’t the main point that she tore the peach open with her bare hands? ]

[ It would be fine if she just broke the flesh of the peach, but she even split the pit into two. ]

[ I’ve been wanting to say that she’s quite capable when she carried two baskets on her own. ]

[ I only want to see Xingyi Fist. Miaomiao, show me a few more moves. ]

Gu Miaomiao would not perform Xingyi Fist.

She quickly ate the peach, washed the fruits and vegetables seriously, and then ran to deliver the vegetables to her brother.

When she got closer, she realized that her brother had already put the pork into the pot.

“Oh, I haven’t taught you how to cook yet,” she said to Gu Che.

Gu Che stared nervously at the oil pan, his face tensed up. He didn’t hear Gu Miaomiao’s words.

Gu Miaomiao stood on her tiptoes and looked at him, then at his tense face. She covered her mouth and laughed.

Gu Che was so nervous that it was funny.

[ Miaomiao: Little Gugu, take a picture. Hurry up and take a picture. ]

[ The ancient martial art system: I’m not a camera ]

[ Miaomiao: But you have such a function. Take a picture! Hurry up and take a picture! ]

Not wanting to be nagged at, the ancient martial art system reluctantly recorded Gu Che’s embarrassed moment.

It had a premonition that it would record more of Gu Che’s embarrassed moments in the future.

Gu Che thought that the little sister he had found was a little sweetheart. Well, she was sweet, but she was also a little naughty.

Each group was busy with their own work, and it looked quite heartwarming for a while.

The aroma of food came out of the pot one after another, and Gu Miaomiao was very busy.

She first ran to Su Hanjiang’s group.

Su Hanjiang made sweet and sour fish. The fish was first fried and then wrapped in sugar. Just the appearance alone was enough to make Gu Miaomiao drool.

Gu Miaomiao swallowed her saliva.

“Miaomiao, do you want to eat?”

Su Zhaomu, who was making trouble, immediately told Su Hanjiang, “Give Miaomiao a piece. Let her have a taste.”

Su Hanjiang was very strict with his son. However, he was very gentle with a little girl.

He picked up a piece and put it in a small bowl. Then, he picked up a pair of chopsticks and handed them to Gu Miaomiao.

“Try it. I’m not good at cooking. I learned this dish from Zhaomu’s mother.”

“Thank you, sir.”

Gu Miaomiao took it without hesitation. It looked good and smelled delicious. She took a bite. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The fish was fresh and tender, sweet and sour.

“Delicious!”

Gu Miaomiao gave a very professional evaluation.

“Sir, your cooking skills are really good,” Gu Miaomiao said to Su Hanjiang

“Well, I learned it from my spouse.”

Gu Miaomiao was confused.

[ Miaomiao: Little Gugu, what is a spouse? ]

The system had taught her some of the differences between ancient and modern terms in advance, and there were some that she had not had the time to learn.

[ The ancient martial art system: His wife. ]

Gu Miaomiao’s eyes lit up. Were Su Hanjiang’s wife’s cooking skills better than this?

Getting a free meal in Su Hanjiang was put on the agenda.

After Gu Miaomiao tasted the sweet and sour fish and gave a very high evaluation, she went to try Liu Man’s fried eggs with tomatoes.

There were no tomatoes in her previous life, but this dish was delicious.

“The egg is fluffy, and the tomato is sweet and sour. The two are a perfect combination.”

“You’re just a little gourmet,” Liu Man said, amused.

“That’s right.” Gu Miaomiao bluntly admitted this.

After tasting them one by one, the parents announced that they could start eating.

Gu Miaomiao rushed back to find her brother. Coincidentally, Su Hanjiang picked up the sweet and sour fish. Zhou Jun and Su Zhaomu seemed to be arguing about something. They pushed and shoved each other and bumped into Su Hanjiang. The latter’s body tilted, and the sweet and sour fish in his hand flew out along with the plate.

[ Oh my God, the fish flew away! ]

At this moment, a small figure leaped into the air, caught the plate, and swished it a few times.

When the figure landed on the ground, the pieces of fish that had flown out returned to the plate.

Gu Miaomiao was satisfied. “Fortunately, it didn’t fall to the ground.”

“Can someone pinch me?” Su Hanjiang asked.

Su Zhaomu pinched him heavily.
