Spiritual Energy Rejuvenation: I Began Cultivating By Farming

Chapter 2305 - 1292: Part 2

Luo Youyou also sent a message to her family, who asked if last night’s storm was dangerous.Luo Youyou told them he had let his pet handle those scumbags.

Without needing to make a move himself, those scumbags were sent to the punishment zone.

The online voting results were released, and the first place was Mo Jingyan’s and Luo Youyou’s group, with 63,999 votes.

When the director announced the number, the guests couldn’t believe it, nor could the viewers. Were there really so many people watching the live broadcast?

Were there really that many votes?

In the voting system, each person could only vote once, and they must have a mobile number. It was a real-name voting process.

When the viewers checked Mo Jingyan and Luo Youyou’s live broadcast room again, there were over a million viewers, yet they had only a little over sixty thousand votes.

Could it be that some people weren’t voting?

Next, the director announced the votes for the second place.

The second place went to that couple. Although they didn’t have as many fans, their live broadcast room did not have as many viewers.

However, there were still many just people who voted more than the other two groups.

The second group’s vote count was 36,000 votes.

Ye Qingning and Lai Chuanyu’s group ranked third.

The third group’s vote count was 35,000 votes.

Liang Sisi and Zuo Shaonan’s group was the fourth.

The fourth group’s vote count was 34,990 votes.

With the voting results out, the director talked about the rules that were broken today at noon.

This time, the first place can choose eight dishes, the second place can choose six dishes, and the third can choose four dishes.

The fourth place can choose only two dishes.

...

The director explained the rules, saying they could choose dishes that were not yet cooked, even though they had to cook them themselves.

Here, there were ordinary people, stars, wealthy daughters, and heirs. Some of them might have never cooked before, never entered a kitchen, let alone using a traditional stove.

Fortunately, they didn’t need to go up the mountain to collect firewood, as it was impossible to find dry wood in this snowy weather.

Whether the food they cooked was delicious or not, it was their lunch.

Mo Jingyan and Luo Youyou came in first, so they could choose eight dishes to bring to their place where there was a kitchen with a stove to cook. One advantage was that there were potatoes and a coal stove.

Actually, the lodging here also had stoves, as cooking a large meal on a traditional stove adds flavor.

Many people who have tasted the local food often find the city’s food lacking the authentic flavor of meals cooked this way.

They tend to visit homestays or mountain resorts for weekend travel meals. With the recent heavy snowfall, many came here to ski, and some rented rooms from farmers to cook lunch.

However, most people wouldn’t cook and would pay others to cook for them.

Like in this variety show, the guests had to cook their own meals by themselves.

Mo Jingyan and Luo Youyou had just made their selections—with four types of meat, eggs, tomatoes, and some vegetables.

The four meats could be combined with those vegetables to make eight dishes, which they had already planned: six dishes and a soup.

With just the two of them, a smaller portion was okay, and there was no need to share with anyone else.

As they thought it was wonderful, someone interrupted.

"Mo Jingyan, help me, I can’t cook. I only have a few dishes here, why don’t we eat together?"

Ye Qingning shamelessly approached, determined to play the third wheel, preventing them from spending more time together.

"Ye Qingning is being inconsiderate of the rules again; she’s like a sticky plaster."

"Even the esteemed Miss isn’t so great, being so shameless. No wonder Mo Jingyan doesn’t like her."

"Stop it, what’s wrong with Ye Qingning being shameless? If she can’t cook but wants someone she likes to cook for her, what’s wrong with that?"

"Honestly, doesn’t she have a partner? Her partner looks like they can cook, right? If they can’t, won’t she stick to the partner then?"

"I can see Lai Chuanyu’s grievance. Though from a regular family, surely Lai Chuanyu can’t cook either, right?"

"Is it wrong for children from ordinary families to not know how to cook? Are only the daughters and heirs unable to cook? Isn’t everyone a parent’s treasure?"

Online comments included negative remarks and discussions surrounding the guests.

"No, you should stick with your partner."

Mo Jingyan flatly refused; he didn’t want another third wheel. Just the two of them eating their own dishes, no sharing with anyone else.

Don’t say he’s stingy; one’s a Rotten Peach Blossom, one’s a rival.

He’s certainly not generous.

Mo Jingyan’s rejection left Ye Qingning stomping her feet, shooting a harsh glare at Luo Youyou.

Luo Youyou shrugged helplessly, holding her dishes. What’s it got to do with her?

Ignoring the opinions of others, they grabbed their ingredients and returned to their lodging, heading into the kitchen.

"Let me cook,"

Mo Jingyan volunteered.

"Alright, I’ll assist you then,"

The two had been together for some time, with Mo Jingyan having cooked meals before.

Both were wearing wrist cameras, showing only them in the live broadcast—one assisting in washing and cutting vegetables, while the other prepared the meat and marinated it.

The two of them were so coordinated, so in tune.

Seeing their interactive cooking, viewers felt they were like an old couple, collaborating seamlessly in the kitchen.

This reminded viewers they were not only participating in a show but were also acquainted from school.

There were rumors about their teacher-student romance.

Online commenters reacted, saying: "This is disgraceful. He’s a teacher; she’s a student. How can they fall for each other? How can such a show be aired?"

"You’re outdated; I also married my teacher. I only had a secret crush back in school, but the crush led us to become friends. After I entered the workforce, I married my teacher. What’s wrong with that?"

"Exactly, they’re just in a variety show. If ordinary classmates or strangers can team up, why can’t they? Just because of their identities? Aren’t teachers and students people too? They’re both in university; what’s there to separate?"

In their live broadcast room, there were opposing voices and supportive fans.

Their broadcast remained lively.

"Isn’t it noticeable? Mo Jingyan, the male deity, cooking—the sight is pleasing. Watching him cook makes me feel like tasting a dish he cooked would be worthwhile, even if it costs my life."

"Sister above, too bad you won’t get a chance; why not try hard to find a male deity yourself?"

"Are male deities easy to find? If they were everywhere, would he still be a male deity?"

"Stop arguing, check out the little fairy’s cutting skills. Are all girls this good without entering the kitchen before?"

"Seeing the little fairy chopping, it makes me feel like eating a fairy’s dish would make one immortal."

"Are you thinking of passing away, commenter above?"

"Hahaha"

"Watching the guy cook and the girl chop, they’re so pleasing on the eye. I want to capture this."

It’s not every guy and girl that looks beautiful cooking. Look at other live broadcasts for laughs.

Some started showing other cooking broadcasts of guests in a four-way grid, covering their humorous mishaps.

It was visible that the couple was cooking methodically, but they couldn’t ignite a flame and had to use the gas stove.

They were in the larger kitchen at the homestay, cooking as three guest groups worked together, men and women collaborating.

This couple looked like they had experience in cooking; Liang’s couple hadn’t had any mishaps.

No mishaps, but no visually appealing dishes either, as they lacked Mo Jingyan and Luo Youyou’s charm.
