Chapter 8


After the chicken breast was torn, Ye Zimo handed the plate to Lin Miaomiao: "Go feed Shizi."

Lin Miaomiao took it, said thank you and ran out.

Others also got up one after another. Yang Jun and Su Zhixing had just finished washing up and were playing with Shizi in the living room. They didn't seem to leave after Lin Miaomiao put down the chicken breast. They just made room to the side and continued to squat and watch Shizi eat.

Ye Zimo leaned against the door frame and watched for a while, then returned to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

They have limited ingredients and even more limited cooking skills, so after discussing it last night, everyone decided to keep things simple while Xu Jiayan is away. Today's breakfast is the most ordinary tomato and egg noodles.

After washing the vegetables and boiling water in a pot, Ye Zimo began to cut the tomatoes. He held the knife, but he had no idea where to start, just like Lin Miaomiao who had been cutting meat not long ago. After practicing for a while, he finally found the trick. He placed the tomato stem facing the chopping board, cut it in half, and then carefully divided it into several pieces.

The water in the pot boiled. Ye Zimo quickly put down the knife and tomatoes, put the noodles into the pot, and then put the tomatoes.

[I now believe that Ye Zimo really can’t cook…]

[Brother, if you cut the tomatoes into such big pieces, you should boil the tomatoes first and then put the noodles in! ]

[Seeing how skilled he was at stewing chicken breast, I thought Ye Zimo knew some basics, but I didn't expect him to be slapped in the face so soon.]

[You didn’t watch yesterday’s live broadcast, did you? If you did, you would know that the braised chicken breast was the unexpected surprise 23333]

[So actually my brother Mo only knows how to stew chicken breast? He can’t cook anything else? ]

[Hey, hey, I tell you guys not to be ungrateful for what you have. Ye Zimo is already showing us his live broadcast, so why would you want a bicycle!]

Unlike other people's live broadcast rooms, which were either lively or chaotic, Ye Zimo's live broadcast room was the same as Zhao Shuya's. Except for the short time when everyone turned into groundhogs because they hadn't seen each other for a long time at the beginning of the broadcast, in the following days, their live broadcast room was like a chat room for the elderly, where they discussed work, praised people for being good-looking and handsome, and other than that, they just chatted about past film and television works, what to eat and drink, and the weather...

It wasn't until this morning when Ye Zimo unexpectedly showed off his braised chicken breast skills that fans finally got a glimpse of Ye Zimo's real life, because fans really knew nothing about him over the years.

Nine years after his debut, Ye Zimo has only 36 Weibo posts, all of which are related to promoting his works. There is not a single word other than his works. Media interviews are as serious and taciturn as his Weibo posts. There is never any information about his private life, only some unverifiable gossip saying that he might be a rich second-generation.

At first, his fans were dissatisfied and protested, but later they found that this was just his personality and gave up struggling. After a long time, they felt that his excessive silence and mystery were not bad. It was enough for him to have no messy gossip, strong professional skills and good acting skills.

The fans thought they would finally get to see a different idol after not seeing him for four years and seeing him participate in such a live reality show. But, they didn't expect that Ye Zimo was still the same Ye Zimo from four years ago, working seriously but still taciturn. His fans couldn't even call him a groundhog.

After braised chicken breast this morning, fans who were watching the live broadcast finally saw a different Ye Zimo, so when they saw someone complaining, some fans immediately jumped out to stop it.

The gods have come down to earth, so why would they care about posture, right?

[That's right, those who don't know how to appreciate it should be dragged out! ]

[I beg everyone in front to shut up, be careful not to scare Ye Zimo away again. If you don’t care about me, I still want to see Ye Zimo with a sense of life! ]

[What else do you want from Ye Zimo who likes cats? ]

[No, do you really think Mo Ge likes cats? ]

[If he doesn’t like cats, he would know how to make delicious chicken breast for cats? And he would cook it himself? ]

[But from what I've observed, he has been standing farthest from the cat since yesterday. I don't know if it's my illusion, but every time Shizi gets close, Brother Mo seems so nervous.]

[…Is there such a thing?]

At this moment, Ye Zimo in the live broadcast room had cooked noodles and invited everyone to have breakfast. The appearance was not very good and the taste was average, but everyone had reached a tacit understanding that it would not go bad. Several big stars had no complaints and enjoyed the breakfast well. Lin Miaomiao, as always, was very supportive and ate two big bowls.

Putting down her bowl and chopsticks, she followed the system's instructions and said calmly, "If I hold on for another meal, I'll be able to eat Jiayan's meal tonight!"

Xu Jiayan left temporarily, and her fans stopped watching the live broadcast, but there were many people who hated Lin Miaomiao, and some immediately started scolding her after hearing her words:

[Lin Miaomiao, can you please shut up? Stop cueing your dad for no reason! ]

[I feel sorry for Xu Jiayan. She is not even here, but she is being dragged out by Lin Miaomiao to be a slave.]

[I am very curious, did Xu Jiayan dig up Lin Miaomiao's ancestral grave? ]

[You don't have to be so rude. Can other people's cooking skills compare to Xu Jiayan's? Who doesn't want to eat the food Xu Jiayan cooks? What's wrong with expressing your feelings? ]

[Those who scolded Lin Miaomiao earlier, didn’t you see that Lin Miaomiao was the most supportive person at meals these past two days? ]

Shizi was obedient and did not come over to disturb everyone while they were having breakfast. Instead, she went parkour in the yard by herself. When she saw everyone had finished eating, she ran back to act coquettishly with everyone.

Ye Zimo was sitting facing the living room door. When Shizi appeared at the door, he stood up and said, "I'll go wash the dishes."

Lin Miaomiao looked at his quickly leaving back thoughtfully, then looked at Shizi.

The weather was fine and the villagers were really busy. Busy figures could be seen everywhere in the fields. The happy farmers, whose material funds were almost exhausted, finished their meal, packed up and went out to look for work.

There was a lot of work that needed help today, basically plowing and sowing. In the end, Ye Zimo and the other two were responsible for plowing, while Lin Miaomiao went to the fields with Zhao Shuya to help with sowing.

Shizi was also taken to the field because they were worried that it would be in danger if it was alone at home. The little guy was very conscious of being a family member, and when he saw Lin Miaomiao digging a hole, she followed suit and tried hard to dig a hole with her little paws. In the end, Lin Miaomiao took her away on the grounds that it was dirty and troublesome to clean.

"Miaomiao, this is very capable."

Xu Jiayan, who was rushing back from filming a commercial, was watching Lin Miaomiao's live broadcast room with her phone in her arms. She saw that she had been digging all day and didn't complain about the sun, didn't say her skin was sensitive and fragile, and didn't complain about being tired. She couldn't help but mutter, "She must have been deliberately lazy before."

Xu Jiayan really couldn't understand the logic of Lin Miaomiao's behavior. If she was really hopeless, she wouldn't have to work hard now. But if not, why did she act so weak and spoiled before? With her as a reference group, shouldn't she grab the spotlight and win more fans?

The difference between the painting styles before and after is too great!

But it doesn’t matter. Since she has started working now, as a member of the control group, she naturally would have to lend her a helping hand!

Just as she was thinking about it, she saw Lin Miaomiao put down the hoe and said to the camera with regret: "Oh, it would be great if Jiayan was here. Jiayan is so capable at work, and it would be much easier for Sister Shuya and I to have her around!"

Xu Jiayan: “…”

It was already past five in the afternoon when Xu Jiayan returned to Happy Farm. After putting down her luggage, she went to the kitchen to check the ingredients, and then went to Uncle Chun to borrow some vegetables.

When Lin Miaomiao and the others came back from work, Xu Jiayan had just cooked rice. "Thank you for your hard work, I was just about to cook."

Without saying anything, Yang Jun rolled up his sleeves and went into the kitchen, "I'll help."

Finally I can have a normal meal!

Ye Zimo also rolled up his sleeves and followed.

"Jiayan, you're finally back. I missed you so much." Lin Miaomiao put down her tools and went forward to hug Xu Jiayan. Seeing that everyone went to help, she decisively let go, "I'm so tired, I'm going to rest first. I'll leave dinner to you~"

"Miaomiao, what is Shizi going to eat for dinner?" Xu Jiayan called her. "I see there is chicken and duck in the refrigerator. Whichever one she wants to eat for dinner, I can steam it for her first."

Lin Miaomiao: “…duck meat.”

"Okay, I'll go light the fire."

Lin Miaomiao stared at her back for a long time with mixed feelings. After all, Shizi was hers to raise, and she felt bad if she had to eat everyone's food, so she would work harder and work hard for Shizi as well. But now, in order to compete with Xu Jiayan, she asked her mortal enemy Xu Jiayan to help Shizi prepare dinner...

"Since you are so active in helping Shizi cook her meal, I'll help you." Lin Miaomiao said sullenly and ran over to take over the job of picking vegetables.

Xu Jiayan: “…”

Why are you suddenly so easy to talk to?

The system also noticed this and reminded: "Even if you want to work hard for Shizi, you shouldn't help so directly. You can try another way to compensate for her work and provide Xu Jiayan with comparison materials."

He analyzed a lot of things, but Lin Miaomiao ignored him and continued picking vegetables with her head down.

System:"……"

Are you angry?

Xu Jiayan secretly observed Lin Miaomiao and continued to chat: "I heard from the director that the bacon was the reward you got. Miaomiao, how do you plan to eat it?"

"With fried radish!" Lin Miaomiao said without thinking.

When sowing in the afternoon, an elder sister heard that they didn't know how to cook, so she taught them a few simple home cooking methods, one of which was bacon fried with dried radish. It was said that the dried radish was chopped, the bacon was fried in oil first, the dried radish was stir-fried until fragrant, and then the garlic segments were added and a little water was simmered. The dried radish and bacon were both salty, so there was no need to add salt, and there was no need to worry about insufficient seasoning. It was especially suitable for kitchen novices.

Lin Miaomiao had been craving for food the whole afternoon and was eager to eat.

"Okay, let's have bacon and dried radish tonight!" Xu Jiayan immediately took out the bacon, cut a small piece and washed it, "Miaomiao, can you help with the dried radish? Just wash it and chop it into pieces."

Lin Miaomiao's mind was full of bacon and fried radish. She was about to agree subconsciously, but the system stopped her, "...I have never held a kitchen knife before. I might cut my hand."

Xu Jiayan: “…”

She had clearly picked up a kitchen knife to cut meat this morning! And she was very cooperative just now, why did she change her nature again?

"Let me wash it."

As he said that, Ye Zimo turned around and went out to get the dried radish. When he reached the door, he happened to bump into Shizi who was passing by. He immediately stopped and held his breath.

"Are you afraid of cats?" Lin Miaomiao asked what was in her mind.
