After the divorce, he took care of his child and sold fried rice; his ex-wife was filled with regret

Lin Fan walked up to the [Heavenly Craft Workshop] and directly issued the command in his mind:

"One-click harvest!"

"Whoosh—!"

With extremely slight energy fluctuations, the plums on the tree and the cabbages in the ground instantly turned into streams of light and were sucked into the funnel of the Heavenly Craft Workshop.

Less than two minutes.

At the finished product outlet of Tiangongfang, more than a dozen large bamboo baskets were neatly stacked.

Baskets of century-old dried plums, washed clean, exude a captivating fragrance.

Next to it is a top-quality jadeite cabbage, meticulously cleaned and lush green.

Looking at the mountain of top-quality ingredients, Lin Fan felt a strong sense of security.

For a chef, having a private sanctuary where they can mix and match ingredients at will, without ever worrying about quality or supply shortages, is no less valuable than having an armored company.

Lin Fan stroked his chin, a smile appearing on his lips.

He could imagine how frantic the wealthy and powerful outside would be when he put up the "Boiled Cabbage in Clear Broth" sign the next morning.

He walked around the farm again.

The ten black mountain pigs in the livestock pen have grown plump and healthy, with glossy skin, and are ready to be sent to Tiangongfang for non-destructive butchering at any time.

Those fifty free-range chickens in the spirit fields lay several top-quality free-range eggs containing spiritual energy every day.

At this rate, he will no longer have to worry about a shortage of ingredients in the store.

"It's safe."

Lin Fan nodded in satisfaction.

Just as he was about to exit the farm space and go back to the living room to see if his daughter was awake, the cold yet pleasant mechanical voice in his mind suddenly rang out without warning.

【Ding! 】

[Host farm ecosystem detected to be taking shape; food production chain has formed a perfect closed loop! Hidden achievement achieved: Self-sufficient farmer!]

[Rewards being distributed...]

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained the divine-level cookbook—"The Ultimate Collection of Home-Style Recipes"!]

Upon hearing this name, Lin Fan was slightly taken aback.

Home-style dishes?

Looking back, the system's previous rewards to him, whether it was the "Heartbreakingly Delicious Fried Rice," the "Golden Crab Roe Soup Dumplings," or the impressive "Boiled Cabbage in Clear Broth" and "Peony Pastry," all of them caused a huge sensation.

Why did you suddenly send me a home-style recipe book?

Before he could think much about it, a massive flow of information, like warm spring water, instantly flooded into his mind.

In just a few seconds, Lin Fan's eyes changed from confusion to deep shock.

"I see……"

Lin Fan muttered to himself.

This book, "The Complete Collection of Exquisite Home-Style Recipes," contains no delicacies or rare ingredients.

It contains a list of dishes that are most common on Chinese dining tables: sweet and sour pork ribs, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, Mapo tofu, shredded pork with garlic sauce, steamed eggs with minced meat...

But the techniques provided by the system have elevated these most ordinary dishes to a higher level!

How to use the heat to lock in the juices of the most ordinary meat, how to use the most basic oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar to create a myriad of complex aromas...

This cookbook is not just about cooking skills, but also about the taste of "home".

"Perfect, I'll try it out at home today."

Lin Fan smiled and casually operated the control panel of [Tiangongfang].

"Click".

Several pieces of bright red, marbled black mountain pork ribs, along with a piece of tender lean meat from the front of the hind leg, fell out.

He then walked to the chicken coop and picked up four still-warm [premium free-range eggs] from the nest lined with dry straw.

With these freshly prepared spiritual ingredients in hand, Lin Fan made a thought.

"Leave the farm."

……

Back in the living room of Jinmao Mansion.

The sky outside the window was gradually darkening, and the city's neon lights began to flicker.

The bedroom door creaked open a crack.

Tuantuan hugged the strawberry bear that was even bigger than her, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and pounced into Lin Fan's arms like a kitten that had just woken up.

"Daddy...Tuantuan's tummy is hungry." The little girl looked up and said in a soft, sweet voice.

"Come on, Daddy won't cook for you outside today. Daddy will make your favorite sweet and sour pork ribs, and a steamed minced pork and egg custard!"

Lin Fan picked up his daughter and kissed her on her chubby little face.

"Yay! Tuantuan loves Daddy's cooking the most!"

After settling Tuantuan on a high stool outside the kitchen to paint, Lin Fan tied on an apron and went into the kitchen.

With a thought, Lin Fan gripped the purple-gold black iron kitchen knife, its blade flashing.

"Knock knock knock—"

The black mountain pork ribs were precisely chopped into small, even pieces. The lean meat from the foreleg was quickly minced into a fine paste.

Heat oil in a wok.

The purple-gold Bagua wok, licked by the flames, gleamed with a mesmerizing purple hue.

Lin Fan added rock sugar and stirred gently, frying it until it turned a beautiful dark reddish-brown color. Next, he added the blanched pork ribs to the pot.

"Sizzle—!"

The moment the ribs come into contact with the caramelized sugar, a rich aroma of caramelized meat rises up.

However, due to the energy-locking properties of the Zijin cookware, the aroma did not spread like smoke as usual, but was firmly locked above the pot, forming a light mist.

Instead of using regular vinegar, Lin Fan added light soy sauce and dark soy sauce. He simply used a concentrated plum juice made from the century-old charcoal-smoked plums that he had just harvested from the farm that day.

Cover the pot and simmer over low heat.

While he was at it, Lin Fan broke up the four premium free-range eggs.

Add warm spring water, in precise gram proportions, skim off any foam with a strainer, cover with plastic wrap, and steam.

On the other side, the minced meat is quickly stir-fried in the pan to release its oil and aroma.

Fifteen minutes later.

Reduce the sauce over high heat until thick and glossy, coating each rib evenly with a rich, amber-like color.

The steamed eggs were ready on time. After tearing off the plastic wrap, the surface of the eggs was as smooth as a golden mirror, delicate and fragile.

Lin Fan gently spread the stir-fried minced meat along with a little bit of chopped green onion on the steamed egg.

"Dinner's ready!"

When these two most ordinary home-style dishes were served, Tuantuan's eyes widened in amazement.

There's no fancy plating like in restaurants, just the warmest and most enticing home-style aroma.

"Daddy! It smells so good!"

Tuantuan eagerly climbed onto the chair, holding a small spoon in her hand, swallowing hard.

Lin Fan served her a small bowl of white rice cooked with spiritual energy-infused rice, and placed a piece of sweet and sour pork rib on top:

"Be careful, it's hot. Take your time."

Tuantuan opened her little mouth and bit the rib.

"Crack".

The outer layer of sweet and sour sauce is delicious, and the addition of plum juice makes the sourness extremely mild and refreshing.

The black mountain pork inside is stewed until it falls off the bone and becomes tender; with a gentle suck, the meat slides into your mouth.

The 300% improvement in taste brought by Zijin kitchenware, combined with the perfect seasoning from "The Ultimate Home Cooking Recipes," makes this small piece of pork rib burst with outrageous deliciousness!

"Ugh!!!"
