26: Chapter 26 will show you what a goddess's unexpected charm looks like.

Before long, the chaos in the kitchen finally subsided.

Zhou Yichen's wound was finally treated, with a small band-aid stuck on his index finger.

Su Qing carefully supported him as he walked out from the crowd, a posture no different from someone who had just undergone an amputation.

Director Zhou held a megaphone, his voice tinged with a hint of helplessness and relief.

"Alright, alright, since everyone is fine, the dinner segment will proceed as usual. Everyone hurry up, there isn't much time left."

Several guests nodded and returned to their respective workstation tables.

However, when they saw the scene before them clearly, they still couldn't help but let their faces darken.

Xu Hao and Lin Yu stared at the overturned pot of braised beef with potatoes on the ground, the corners of their mouths twitching.

On the other side, Lin Mo and Chen Wenwen stood in front of the stove, watching as half of the egg liquid was in the pot and the other half was on the stove...

Silence, nothing but silence.

"You guys overturned yours too."

Xu Hao on the side also noticed the situation on Lin Mo's side, and thus flashed them a smile that was uglier than crying.

Lin Mo nodded, speaking with a bitter expression.

"Yeah, when fellow villagers meet fellow villagers..."

Seeing this, Xu Hao immediately made a timely addition.

"Their eyes fill with tears!!!"

Compared to the scene of the two brothers finding it too late to meet over there, the style on Zhou Yichen and Su Qing's side was even more bizarre.

The onions on the chopping board were still scattered there; that was Zhou Yichen's extremely shining "battle achievement" this time.

Su Qing stood in front of the chopping board, looked at the onions, then looked at Zhou Yichen, speaking carefully.

"Yichen, your hand is injured and can't touch water. How about I do these? You... you can just sit and rest."

As she spoke, she dragged over a chair, placed it in an out-of-the-way corner of the kitchen, and diligently wiped it clean.

Zhou Yichen looked at the chair, then looked at Su Qing, revealing a reluctant smile.

"Then... sorry to trouble you."

After speaking, he sat down heavily, subconsciously crossed his legs, and began remote guidance.

"Su Qing, shouldn't those onions be soaked in water first? Otherwise, it might sting your eyes."

"Su Qing, don't turn the fire too high; it feels like it's going to burn."

"Su Qing, put a little less salt, healthy diet."

Su Qing responded in a fluster, her forehead already starting to sweat.

She herself was also a kitchen novice, usually only making instant noodles at home at most.

As a result, now she had to cook a complete dish, and even wait on this young master, making her simply want to cry.

In the livestream chat room, the camera dedicated to the two of them showed that some netizens had completely laughed themselves crazy.

[I am laughing to death, this completely nails him as a foreman]

[Zhou Yichen: I'm just sitting down, but I want the whole world to know I'm working]

[Su Qing is so miserable, cooking food for two people by herself and still being bossed around]

[What kind of dating variety show is this? This is more like 'Xing Bian Ji' right? The title should just be 'Rich Heiress Goes to the Countryside to Serve the Young Master']

[Ah!!! What do you guys know? Brother calls this trust! He believes Su Qing can do it well!]

[Trust? I think it's just laziness]

[Where are Su Qing's fans? Your big sister is being treated like a maid, aren't you guys coming out to say a word?]

[I am a Su Qing fan, I'm already dying of anger, can Zhou Yichen just get lost?]

[Why should he get lost? Being able to form a CP with Yichen is completely your family's girl punching above her weight, okay! If anyone should get lost, it's your Su Qing!]

[Hahahaha fan circle civil war, fight, fight!]

[Hehehe, Brother is amazing (dog head)]

Although the bullet comments were arguing fiercely, the number of online viewers remained consistently high.

Director Zhou looked at the data with mixed feelings.

The popularity was high, but why was it all negative???

On the other side, Lu Li and Shen Qingxue had quietly returned to their territory.

Lu Li glanced back at the chaotic scene in the kitchen, then looked at Shen Qingxue, lowering his voice.

"Let's go, go, hurry up and do some real work. If we dawdle any longer, I'm afraid of being swarmed to death by those brainless fans."

Shen Qingxue gave him a sideways glance.

"Weren't you quite talkative just now? Purely a sissy..."

"Stop!"

Lu Li quickly waved his hand.

"Sister, I was wrong, can we not mention it? My intestines are turning green with regret now, who knew that camera was still running."

The corners of Shen Qingxue's mouth curved up slightly, and she said nothing more.

Humph, she finally found a way to sanction him, let's see if he dares to treat her so rudely again.

Soon, Lu Li turned his head to look at the ingredients on the table.

Earlier, he and Shen Qingxue had both been preparing ingredients, and by now they were almost done processing them.

If one cooked and the other continued preparing ingredients, that would work out just right.

Not long after.

Shen Qingxue stood in front of the stove wearing an apron, holding a large spoon, skillfully flipping the ingredients in the pot and occasionally adjusting the heat. The whole person looked completely at ease.

The dish she was making was called stir-fried yellow beef, which could be finished in five minutes and achieve both color, aroma, and taste.

As for Lu Li, he was standing in front of the nearby prep table, lowering his head to cut the side dishes.

The knife in his hand rose and fell, at a speed neither fast nor slow, but a sense of rhythm was built up, and at a glance, it looked pretty impressive.

However, no matter how impressive it was, it couldn't surpass Shen Qingxue beside him, because she had already hoisted the wok and started tossing it.

In the livestream chat room, the camera focused entirely on the two of them left the netizens dumbfounded.

[Holy shit holy shit holy shit!!! The goddess can really toss the wok!!! Did you guys see that!!!]

[Saw it saw it!!! That pot is a pure iron wok, she tossed it up with one hand?!]

[Oh god, how can the goddess's contrast charm be so big]

[What kind of treasure girl is this, she looks good and can cook, is she going to let people live]

[To be honest, Lu Li's knife skills definitely don't look like someone who is entering the kitchen for the first time]

[Laughed to death, these two kept pretending, but it turns out they are both cooking masters]

[No, you guys got the focus wrong, right? The focus is that the goddess is cooking, and Lu Li is watching from the side???]

[What do you mean watching? Isn't he preparing ingredients? This is called clear division of labor, okay!]

[Hahahaha, comparing Zhou Yichen and Lu Li, it's simply too tragic]

[What do you guys mean? Isn't it just cooking? Aside from this point, what does Lu Li have to compare with Yichen?]

The bullet comments scrolled past rapidly.

It's a pity Lu Li and the others couldn't see them.

Not long after, Lu Li put the cut side dishes into a plate and pushed it to Shen Qingxue's side.

"Is this enough?"

Shen Qingxue took a look and nodded.

"Enough."

Lu Li put down the knife, patted the crumbs off his hands, took a step back, leaned against the prep table, crossed his arms, and watched Shen Qingxue bustling about.

Shen Qingxue asked casually while stir-frying.

"You're just going to watch from the side?"

Lu Li replied righteously.

"Clear division of labor, you cook, I prepare ingredients. Once the preparation is done, aren't I free?"

Shen Qingxue gave him a sideways glance, said nothing, and continued tossing the wok.

Looking at her deft movements, Lu Li couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

This sister really has some skills; not only does she sing well, but even her cooking is this impressive.

Furthermore, that wok-tossing trick just now looked like she had practiced it; even those who cooked frequently probably weren't as proficient as her.

Lu Li couldn't help asking a question.

"Who did you learn this cooking skill from?"

Shen Qingxue didn't stop her movements, replying indifferently.

"I learned it myself online."

"Living alone?"

"Mhm."

Lu Li froze for a moment, feeling a bit surprised.

A celebrity of Shen Qingxue's caliber, being the national goddess, logically should live in a large villa, have nannies and chefs, and be pampered with every need met.

Yet she lived alone and cooked for herself?
