Xu Fan woke up very early. There were many mosquitoes at night, and he was covered in bites. The small bottle of medicated oil he brought had been used up when he was rubbing Ji Yuzhi's leather jacket, so there was no way to stop the itching. He didn't dare to scratch and disturb Fu Chun, so he could only force himself to fall asleep. He slept and woke up all night, but he was still very itchy when he woke up. His whole body was also very hot, like the heat of a fever, which made Xu Fan feel a little uncomfortable.

When Xu Fan woke up, he went to the main room, poured a glass of water, and looked at the clock hanging in the main room. It showed that it was only 7:30. Xu Fan was about to prepare some breakfast for Fu Chun when he found a green envelope on the table in the main room with the words "Task Card" on it.

Xu Fan carefully opened it, and there was a card inside.

"Dads, please prepare breakfast for your kids at home and meet at house number 25, group 1, Stone Village at 10:00 AM. There's a task waiting for you."

The production team said yesterday that the live broadcast would start at 9 o'clock. Should he wait until 9 o'clock to start cooking?

He glanced at Fu Chun, who was sleeping soundly, and decided to prepare the dishes first, and then cook them for her when she got up.

After a quick wash, Xu Fan changed into a pure white T-shirt and black joggers, wiped her glasses, and headed to the vegetable garden in the backyard.

Stone Village is full of trees and the air is very fresh. Xu Fan took a deep breath of the fresh air mixed with the smell of trees and soil, and went to see what vegetables were growing in the garden.

Besides the potatoes, green beans, and eggplants I saw yesterday, there were also cucumbers, loofahs, tomatoes...

The cucumbers hung on the vines, still glistening with morning dew, looking plump and emerald green—they must be very fresh.

Let's have some simple porridge, pickled cucumbers, and stir-fried vegetables this morning. The vegetable garden is nice, but it only has vegetables. Fu Chun is young and needs to grow, so Xu Fan thinks we should definitely find a way to get some meat for the little one today.

Xu Fan picked a few cucumbers, prepared some green peppers, eggplants, and other vegetables, and then returned to the kitchen.

He first rinsed the rice, put the cleaned rice into the rice cooker, and pressed the porridge cooking mode. After it was cooked, it could keep warm, so the temperature of the porridge was just right when Fu Chun woke up.

He decided to pickle the cucumbers to eat with porridge, wondering if they would absorb the flavor in over an hour. Xu Fan first cut the cucumbers into evenly sized strips, arranged them neatly in a bowl, added soy sauce, white vinegar, salt, sugar, and a small amount of green pepper, then covered them with a plate. Next, he sliced ​​the eggplant and cut the green peppers into sections.

After finishing all that, he didn't know what to do next. He took a small stool and sat in the backyard for a while. When he saw that there were many weeds in the vegetable garden, he started pulling them up.

The vegetable garden was large, but Xu Fan was having a great time working on it. This kind of leisurely life was really comfortable and wonderful for him.

After working for an unknown amount of time, Xu Fan was about to pull up a patch of grass when he heard someone call his name.

It was a member of the production crew. The crew didn't expect Xu Fan to wake up so early. They went to the guests' homes half an hour early to prepare some equipment.

Not hearing any movement inside, they assumed Xu Fan hadn't gotten up yet. With a few minutes left after preparing the equipment, the production crew was about to check the cameras in various places inside the house when they arrived at the backyard and found Xu Fan weeding. Although his forehead was already beaded with sweat from the heat, he was still full of energy.

The director told them that if they went to a guest's house and the guest was already up, they should tell them to get ready for the broadcast to start later.

If they're not up yet, don't wake them. Show all the audience their ugliest, bare faces right after waking up! The director thinks that making them stay in bed until 9 a.m. is already very lenient.

"Teacher Xu, please wake the child up. We'll be starting the broadcast in a few minutes."

"Okay." Xu Fan went to the bathroom to wash her face and hands, then tiptoed into the room.

Fu Chun was sleeping soundly, sprawled out on her back, making very soft snores. She looked like she was sleeping very well, and Xu Fan was a little reluctant to disturb her.

But the show was about to start and it was time to eat, so he gently shook Fu Chun's little finger.

"Get up."

"Ugh..." Fu Chun struggled to open her eyes and saw the bright light outside. She instantly jumped up and asked Xu Fan, "What time is it?"

"It's 8:55 now, time for breakfast."

Fu Chun was furious. What breakfast? She actually slept until this late!

She has always been very self-disciplined, which she learned from her uncle, Fu Qingci. Fu Qingci gets up at six o'clock every morning to go for a run and exercise, and then goes to work at the company. This has made Fu Qingci more and more outstanding. Not only is she good-looking and in good shape, but she also handles her work well.

She usually wakes up naturally at six o'clock, practices piano and violin, calligraphy and art... and then leaves for school at seven-thirty.

"How did I end up sleeping until almost nine o'clock today!" she smacked her head in annoyance. "What a lazybones, sleeping until nine o'clock!"

Xu Fan was both amused and exasperated by Fu Chun's words. Are kids these days really that demanding of themselves? Many kids these days like to sleep until 11 or 12 o'clock, and 9 o'clock is perfectly normal.

He gently comforted her, "Little one, you need to sleep a little longer so you can grow taller. Hurry up and finish washing up so you can have breakfast."

"What time did you get up?"

"Me? I should have gotten up around 7:30."

"Aaaaah!" Fu Chun was even more frantic after hearing that.

"Don't be angry. I made some porridge. Get up and eat some, okay?"

Faced with Xu Fan's smiling face, Fu Chun's temper softened slightly.

Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore! I'm actually hungry, I'll eat first!

Seeing that Fu Chun had gotten up, Xu Fan went to the back to prepare breakfast.

As Fu Chun went into the restroom, the live stream quietly began.

Today's live stream had no introduction; it simply filmed the guests' every move.

"Pei Yin, my darling, I'm here! I'm here!"

"My wife Jingqian, my daughter Jiajia! I'm here!"

"I'm about to be bombarded by Coco's beauty!"

"I came to watch Xu Fan cook; his cooking looks so therapeutic~"

"Tch, what's so great about an ugly thing?"

"What I watch is none of your business!"

"Who doesn't know our racing driver Ji Yuzhi, who has won national-level competitions!"

"Those with supermale syndrome, please get lost, thank you."

"He even stole someone's steamed buns yesterday, hahaha!"

As soon as the live stream started, enthusiastic viewers flocked to it.

Fu Qingci was working from home today, which was unusual for him, but he still got up very early, went for a run in the park, and then exercised for a while afterward.

He was wearing a black, tight-fitting tracksuit that accentuated his chest and abs. Sweat dripped down his fair skin, making the usually aloof man look incredibly sexy.

After finishing his workout, he took a shower, made himself a cup of coffee, and turned on his computer to work on the day's tasks. There wasn't much work to do today, so he could take his time.

He took out his phone and set it up next to his computer. It was 8:59 a.m. His little niece's live stream was about to start, and he would be working while watching his adorable niece.

At 9:00, the live stream started on time.

The camera first focuses on Xu Fan's home, where Xu Fan is preparing breakfast. She has already cooked porridge, and she adds some lettuce, salt, and sesame oil to it before turning off the rice cooker and letting it simmer for a while.

Next, mix flour, salt, pepper, and a little starch, add green peppers, heat a small amount of oil, dip the chopped eggplant into the batter, coat it evenly, and then put the batter-coated eggplant into the oil pan.

"Sizzle!" With the sizzling sound of the eggplant hitting the pan, Xu Fan quickly dipped all the eggplants in batter and put them into the pan.

"Didn't I eat breakfast? Why am I still so hungry!"

"It brings back so many memories. It reminds me of when I was a child, I would spend summer vacations at my grandma's house in the countryside, and we would eat this eggplant pancake too."

"I've eaten it too! We call it eggplant cake!"

"This is really delicious. Xu Fan is such a good cook."

"Eating fried food so early in the morning will ruin your health!"

"Hey! It's not like we eat this every day, are you just picking a fight?"

"That's really unhealthy!"

Fu Qingci stared intently at her phone screen, her eyes clouded with coldness, her brows furrowed almost tightly.

He doesn't think such high-oil foods are suitable for breakfast, as excessive carbohydrates and fried foods have no nutritional value.

After frying, Xu Fan arranged the golden and crispy eggplant cakes on a plate, then took out a bowl from the cupboard, which was covered with a plate.

Lifting the plate, Xu Fan scooped out the pickled cucumber strips from the bowl and placed them on the plate, drizzling a small amount of broth over them.

"These pickled vegetables are best eaten with porridge!"

"I especially love pickled cucumbers, they're so fragrant!"

"It's been a long time since I've had this kind of breakfast. Because of work, I usually just have a frozen bun every morning. It would be so nice to sit down, have some porridge, and eat some pickled vegetables."

Fu Qingci saw the comment "pickled vegetables" appear twice in the live chat and sneered inwardly. Here comes another pickled vegetable comment. How could Fu Chun eat such a high-salt food?

Everything was ready. Xu Fan opened the rice cooker. The vegetables had already softened. The white porridge with green vegetables looked light and delicious.

"This porridge is the only thing I can eat," Fu Qingci thought to herself.

After washing up, Fu Chun couldn't wait to rush to the kitchen. Xu Fan's cooking is so delicious, I wonder what we'll eat today.

As soon as she entered, she smelled the aroma of rice porridge, along with another indescribable fragrance.

"Xu Fan, Xu Fan, what are we eating today!"

Xu Fan was focused on stirring the porridge, trying to cool it down. Suddenly, he heard Fu Chun's voice. He turned around and saw that the young girl was very independent and had already dressed herself neatly, with her hair tied in a ponytail.

She was now looking at Fu Chun with her big, beautiful eyes wide open, full of expectation, like a proud little kitten waiting to be fed.

"So cute!" Xu Fan said to Fu Chun, "Today we're having vegetable porridge, eggplant pancakes, and pickled cucumbers."

Fu Chun's eyes lit up; apart from porridge, she had never eaten anything else like that before.

Fu Chun offered to serve Xu Fan eggplant pancakes and cucumbers, while Xu Fan served two bowls of porridge, one full and the other only half full.

When the food was brought into the main room, the production team gave it a close-up, making the viewers drool.

"No, I really want to eat this!"

"I'll ask my grandma to make it for me when I go back this week."

Seeing Fu Chun's actions, Fu Qingci was puzzled. Why had this little girl become so attentive? What kind of bewitching potion had Xu Fan given his niece?

Before eating, Fu Chun said to Xu Fan, "Let's eat together," and then went to get half a bowl of porridge.

Xu Fan quickly stopped her, handed her a bowl of porridge, and said that this was the one for her.

What do you mean? You think she eats too much?

Fu Chun looked at Xu Fan's honest and gentle face. Well, he probably didn't mean it that way. Considering he got up so early to cook, she decided not to hold it against him.

Fu Chun first took a sip of the vegetable porridge. The porridge was soft and sticky, the green vegetables were refreshing and helped to cut through the greasiness, and it also had a fragrant aroma. One sip warmed her stomach.

Another eggplant pancake. One bite, and the crispy crust and soft eggplant flesh inside were just right. There was also green pepper, which she doesn't like, but it had been fried until soft and added a touch of spiciness to the eggplant pancake. It was a wonderfully layered and delicious treat!

After finishing one bite, she immediately took a second and a third. Although her movements were still elegant, the increasingly large bites betrayed her. Xu Fan, worried that she would get tired of it, pushed the cucumber towards her.

"Don't rush, eat slowly, try this."

Fu Chun picked up a piece of cucumber. It was slightly sour, slightly sweet, and slightly spicy. It was crisp and refreshing, and tasted delicious!

She ate her porridge, her pancake, and her pickled vegetables with relish.

Fu Qingci was surprised. She had never seen this girl eat so much at home. Did her family not feed her? And Fu Chun was actually eating this unhealthy food, which was all carbohydrates, with such relish!

Xu Fan ate two pieces of cucumber, half a bowl of porridge, and an eggplant pancake and was full. Fu Chun drank a bowl of porridge and ate several eggplant pancakes.

While things are going so smoothly for Xu Fan, the situations at the other guests' homes are far from optimistic.
