Overnight Hit: Vicious Stepmother and Genius Son
Chapter 229 Praise!

Chapter 229: Chapter 229 Praise!

The audience in the live broadcast room was dying of anxiety, but sadly, Gu Xiaoran and An Xi couldn’t see them.

An Xi said to Gu Xiaoran, "Just twist it up and the fire will come on. Aren’t you an adult today? Do I still need to tell you such a trivial thing?"

After hearing An Xi’s words, Gu Xiaoran really went up and started to twist the knob of the gas stove. After turning it left and right a couple of times, he found that it would turn to the left.

Then, with a bit of force, there was a "boom~" and the fire on the gas stove sprayed out all of a sudden.

Startled, Gu Xiaoran stepped back two paces, looking at the ignited flame, somewhat at a loss.

He turned his head and asked An Xi, "Should we add water first or the pumpkin?"

"Oil first!" At least An Xi knew this sequence: you have to add oil before stir-frying.

[Wow, An Xi not only knows to wash the vegetables, but also knows to add oil first!]

[Not bad, it’s just that the pumpkin wasn’t peeled, can it really be stir-fried?]

[Whether it can be stir-fried has already started, let’s see how they fry the meat later on, that pumpkin is definitely ruined.]

Standing on a little stool, Gu Xiaoran picked up the oil jug and poured oil into the pan, after which he heard a sizzling sound from the pot, and without a second thought, he dumped the pumpkin in.

Gu Xiaoran grasped the spatula and vigorously stirred twice, and in no time, the pumpkin began to stick to the pan. He again asked An Xi, "An Xi, do we add salt now or water?"

An Xi leaned in to take a look and said earnestly, "Add water."

"Oh." Gu Xiaoran took a bowl, filled it with a big bowl of water, and poured it into the pan.

An Xi had cut all the meat as well, looking at the pumpkin soaking in the water, she asked Gu Xiaoran, "Do we need to boil the meat?"

"Of course, let’s boil the meat with the pumpkin. Pour the meat in," Gu Xiaoran said earnestly.

An Xi immediately did as told, "Boiling meat with pumpkin, that does sound quite good!"

Once all the ingredients were in the pot, An Xi could only tell Gu Xiaoran when to add salt and seasoning, then prompted Gu Xiaoran to add another bowl of water, "You need to add more water when boiling meat to cook it thoroughly."

Gu Xiaoran: "You know how to cook now?"

An Xi nodded, "Of course. I was learning from your Aunt Zhenzhen just yesterday. I may not compare to Aunt Zhenzhen, but teaching you to stir-fry a dish, I can still do that."

"Oh!"

The two cameramen shooting beside them exchanged glances, turned their heads away, wanting to laugh, but still held back.

As an actor, An Xi could naturally spot the subtle expressions on the cameramen’s faces. She asked the cameraman brother, "Brother, do you think it’s right to cook this dish this way?"

Cameraman brother No. 1: ...

He didn’t speak, not knowing what to say.

Cameraman brother No. 2, "Um, it’s cooked this way!"

Live broadcast room barrage: [...]

[This really is one daring to ask, and another daring to answer!]

[Does An Xi even know what she’s talking about, hahaha, the meat poured in includes pork belly, chicken breast, and tenderloin. Are you sure it’s edible this way?]

[I was just talking about how they were going to fry the meat, and then this happens, just dumping it in directly?]

[Oh my, I’m kind of worried these dishes might give Gu Xiaoran and An Xi food poisoning!]

[As long as the food is cooked, it shouldn’t really cause food poisoning, hahaha]

[Hahaha, the cameraman brother is also very funny!]

...

Among the guest teams, Lin Qianqian and Fang Xiaoyu were the first to have lunch. With Lin Qianqian’s guidance, Fang Xiaoyu cooked two dishes quite smoothly.

Feeling proud of successfully making a meal, Fang Xiaoyu held up her stir-fried vegetables and eggs to the cameraman brother’s lens and asked everyone,

"Brothers and sisters, take a look at the eggs I fried.

The smell is so fragrant; I will make it for you given the chance, oh~

Don’t forget to vote for me tonight!"

Fang Xiaoyu’s milky voice was cute and soft, and her fair-skinned little face that smiled innocently and sweetly in front of the camera made the live stream viewers exclaim how cute she was!

With Fang Xiaoyu already having a large fanbase of drama fans and mom fans, the live stream’s chat became lively in that instant;

[Xiao Yu, I will vote for you in a bit, ah ah ah]

[My baby girl is acting cute with me, I will vote for you]

[Fang Xiaoyu really is spirited, a treasure girl, really unbeatably cute]

[The milky voice has melted my heart; having a little sister like Xiao Yu wouldn’t be bad, haha!]

The reason Fang Xiaoyu said this was because of the whispered conversation Lin Qianqian had with her last night before bed, telling her to seize the opportunity to greet the brothers and sisters on camera, so they would vote for them.

Then, just now when the dish was ready, Lin Qianqian gave Fang Xiaoyu a cue with her eyes, behind the camera’s back.

For today’s task, Lin Qianqian was adamant about securing the first place. She felt that among all the guest teams, no one was more suited for this task than her and Fang Xiaoyu.

...

In the next room, Song Yuchen’s potato and carrot stewed ribs were still simmering in the pot, not yet cooked.

Ye Zhenzhen sat with Xiao Chen next to the charcoal grill, drinking tea and eating oranges.

Song Yuchen asked, "Didn’t you say we were out of charcoal? How come there’s charcoal now, and so many delicious things?"

"It was Xiao Jie’s Grandpa who brought them over..." Ye Zhenzhen smiled while telling Song Yuchen about Xiao Jie’s Grandpa bringing everyone food and charcoal.

Song Yuchen nodded and then turned to Ye Zhenzhen with a tilted smile, "Hehe, Ye Zhenzhen, Grandma says that if I am nice to others, others will be nice to me.

I think you are the person Grandma was talking about because you are nice to Xiao Jie and Xiao Jie’s Grandpa and everyone else, so everyone is also nice to you."

"Hmm... is this a compliment for me?" Ye Zhenzhen also tilted her head slightly, imitating Xiao Chen as she looked at the little guy.

At the same time, she also thought of her mother-in-law’s care for her.

The manner of the elders in the Song family showed that the family’s teaching and upbringing were excellent.

Song Yuchen was raised to be very polite and intelligent, and even that man, aside from being a bit aloof before, was gentlemanly and nice to her.

However, with such a good in-law family, why did Xiao Chen’s biological mother leave?

Did her relationship with that man break down...

When Ye Zhenzhen thought of this issue, she was somewhat shocked herself; why had she suddenly thought of Xiao Chen’s biological mother and her relationship with that man...

Song Yuchen laughed, "Of course, it’s a compliment for you! In my eyes, you are the best and most beautiful mom. I like you the most! Hahaha!"

Facing the sudden outpouring of affection from the little one, Ye Zhenzhen felt very happy.

[Ah ah ah, it’s so good to have such a heartwarming son]

[The interaction between Zhenzhen and Xiao Chen is really growing more loving, I like it so much, ah ah ah]

[To be honest, at first, I was most worried about Zhenzhen and Xiao Chen; now seeing this scene, I think it’s really heartwarming and heartening.]

[My Zhenzhen really deserves it!]
