The Useless Stepmom Brings Her Kids to Reality TV Shows to Photograph Them-Chapter 136 - Self-Heating Hotpot
136 Self-Heating Hotpot
“Are you going to cook?” Li Zexuan asked.
“Are you going to cook?” Lin Wan asked as well while looking at Li Yanchen.
After driving for four hours, Li Yanchen’s hands were shaking, and he was tired. He didn’t feel like cooking.
“No. We can just eat something for lunch. I will cook for dinner.”
!!
The staff heard the Li family’s conversation and sighed helplessly. “Still the same…”
“Exactly! The other three families have already finished cooking and are now eating. The Li family is still discussing whether to cook or not.”
The bullet comments were also in chaos.
[Is there still no one in the family who can cook?]
[Xuanxuan, you guys should have brought food, right?]
[I just heard Xia Mo say that she made extra portions. Xiao Yi should be here soon.]
[It is normal to not know how to cook. After the last episode, I had dinner with my friends, and it turns out a lot of us can’t cook. Not everybody knows how to cook.]
[Yes. The Li family is different this time. Everyone is discussing instead of fighting.]
[Did you guys know about the Bai Si incident? Lin Wan and Huo Meijun are very close, that’s why Chenxin won the bid.]
[@previous poster, there’s a legal responsibility for spreading rumors. Huo Meijun has already clarified that Lin Wan has nothing to do with this.]
Unlike the first episode, there were many who spoke up in defense of her.
[Watch carefully. Lin Wan’s experience is quite tragic. Everyone, don’t criticize her online anymore.]
[That’s right. It’s better to be positive online.]
…
The five Li family members ultimately agreed to play their trump card after some deliberation.
Li Zexin opened the luggage and a whole box of small self-heating hotpots rolled out.
Li Zexuan opened a luggage that had red wine bottles and chose a bottle of Lafite. He placed it on the stone table.
The staff were stunned. The live broadcast room was silent.
Five small self-heating hotpots and a bottle of red wine were placed on the stone table.
The five of them opened the package together, placed the heating pack at the bottom, filled it with water, and covered it. Soon, steam rose from the five mini hotpots.
[My god! self-heating mini hotpots!]
[It looks like they came prepared this time. Who thought of this?] free𝓌𝗲𝒃𝓃𝒐𝐯𝒆𝙡. 𝑐𝗼ｍ
[The food has been upgraded by several levels.]
[Oh my god! Why didn’t I think they would bring this?]
[Li Yanchen is trying to sober up. Hotpot with red wine.]
Lin Wan listened to the bubbling sounds as she sat on the stone seat with her chin resting on her hand. She commended her stepsons’ intelligence.
[This seems like junk food. In addition to the preservatives, the inside ingredients lack freshness. It’s terrible to even consider that vegetable bag being kept at room temperature.]
[@previous poster, you must care so much about what you eat. Otherwise, any food could be dangerous.]
[That’s right. What’s wrong with eating it once in a while? Xuanxuan has an Auntie cooking at home, so he definitely won’t eat this everyday.]
[I also like self-heating mini hotpot. Sometimes I don’t want to eat lunch in the cafeteria, so I am happy with a bucket of self-heating mini hotpot.]
[Yes, there’s also self-heating rice.]
…
The staff members were stunned for a while before they started whispering again.
“Fellow Li’s food quality has improved.”
The number of online viewers on the live stream channels of the other three families had drastically decreased, whilst the number of online viewers on the Li family’s live stream channel had dramatically increased.
“Are they all running to the Li family’s live stream channel to watch the show?”
“Of course. Xuanxuan has always been a popular celebrity. Lin Wan won the endorsement for Lan Shan Shui, so her popularity has also increased. She also has her own “Night Talk” live broadcast as well.”
“They’re really smart to think of bringing self-heating mini hotpots.”
The production team was still discussing the Li family when they saw Xiao Yi on the screen.
Before Xiao Yi even reached the Li family’s courtyard, he could smell the beef and vegetables.
Xiao Yi wrinkled his nose. ‘I didn’t think there was a hotpot restaurant in the village.’
When he stood in front of the courtyard, the smell became stronger. Xiao Yi knocked on the door. When someone told him to come in, he went inside to find the Li family stooped over their mini self-heating hotpots.
“Why are you here?” With the sweet potato glass noodles still hanging in his mouth, Li Zexin immediately stood up.
He then reached out to pick up another self-heating hotpot. “I will open a pot for you.”
‘It is no wonder I smelled it from afar,’ thought Xiao Yi.
“No need, my mom has prepared food. She actually prepared food for all of you. She asked me to invite all of you to lunch.”
“There is food here. Do you want a bite? We have tripe, meatballs and sweet potato. Which one would you like?” said Li Zexin.
“My mom has already prepared lunch. You guys enjoy your meal. I’ll go back first.”
Li Zexin took two mini hotpots and stuffed them into Xiao Yi’s hands. “Take these. When you are hungry and want something warm to eat, this will be super satisfying.”
Xiao Yi protested. But Li Zexin steered him out of the courtyard and insisted he take them. In the end, he had to accept.
...
[Little brother must be a salesman. Hahahaha.]
[I’m dying of laughter. Xiao Yi originally came to invite the Li family but instead he was given two self-heating mini hotpots.]
[Who would’ve thought that the Xuanxuan family, who relied on other people to eat like time, would be able to give away such delicious food?]
[Hahahaha.]
[The kids are so cute.]
[The little ones are all eating very happily. I’ll go and open a bucket too.]
In Yun City, Ji Hanzhi had already landed safely.
She booked a room at a hotel close to the airport. She ate, put her daughter to bed, and then watched the live stream.
Lin Wan did not cook. The whole family was eating self-heating hotpots. She had never tried it before, but she had long thought of having one, too.
In the first episode, everyone only knew how to stir-fry the vegetables. At that time, she felt that if she made something different, it would definitely be a hit. The self-heating small hot pot was too bland. She brought beef oil and various hot pot ingredients. She wanted to make her own hot pot.
Xia Mo was stunned when she saw Xiao Yi carrying two buckets of small hotpots home.
...
“What is that?”
“They’re already eating. This is for me. I said I didn’t want it, but Li Zexin forced it on me.” Xiao Yi was shocked to see the Li family’s five buckets of hotpot. It was unexpected.
“Hahaha, did Lin Wan think of that? Lin Wan is the smartest.”
“I don’t know, but they’re having a good time. Mom, it’s quite fragrant.”
“I’ve cooked too much today. You can eat that tomorrow. You’re free to do anything in the afternoon. After dinner, I’m going to look for Lin Wan.” Xia Mo whispered to Xiao Yi, “If anyone asks, don’t tell them I went to see Lin Wan.”
“I know. Alright.” Xiao Yi put down the small hot pot and sat at the table.
[As expected, whispering is still going on in this episode.]
[The guests are human. They deserve to have their own privacy. They can’t expose all their actions and words, right?]
[Have the fans in this episode changed? I feel like they are less uptight and condescending.]
[I’m a new fan.]
[Me too. I’ve finally been looking forward to the summer break. I can finally watch it.]
[I heard from my classmates after the holidays that Xiao Yi was the Wind God.]
[Same!]
[There are a lot of students this time. No wonder the hostility is not so strong.]
