Chapter 19: Chapter 19: Mu Ran Cooks

The sun is setting in the west; it’s time to cook.

Mu Ran had Xiao Jin’s cooking for lunch today, so it wouldn’t be good to ask Xiao Jin to cook for her again at night. Hence, she volunteered: “I’ll cook dinner tonight so you can taste your aunt’s culinary skills.”

“Alright!” Chu Xijin was very excited.

“Just wait and see.” Mu Ran first went to buy groceries, then took them to the kitchen of her small courtyard, prepared to showcase her skills. She then looked for a lighter everywhere, since she couldn’t use matches.

Who understands the fear of getting burned when the sound of striking a match is about to produce a flame?

Mu Ran asked the production team: “Do you have a lighter?”

Yang Yingying: “Yes, for one yuan.”

“Damn!” Mu Ran swore.

“Hey, we’re currently recording a show, so please use civilized language,” Yang Yingying reminded. “Otherwise, during editing, you’ll just be beeped out.”

Mu Ran didn’t respond, she asked Chu Xijin for one yuan, bought the lighter, and finally got the fire going.

Start boiling water.

She’s going to blanch the broccoli.

When she bought groceries earlier, she took into consideration that she would be cooking tonight, so she chose the simplest ingredients.

Simple stir-fried broccoli.

And also tomato scrambled eggs.

Enough!

Two dishes are actually enough for two people to eat. There were three dishes for lunch today, which were too filling, so there’s no need to eat so much tonight.

Mu Ran carefully washed the broccoli, chopped it, and placed it in hot water, then she went to chop the tomatoes.

After cutting the tomatoes, the broccoli was almost cooked. After fishing it out, she stir-fried it with some oil, adding a bit of oyster sauce for flavor.

When one dish was finished cooking.

Mu Ran was amazed: “Turns out I have a talent for cooking! Incredible.”

Yang Yingying whispered: “Then you can cook for yourself in the future.”

“Please, director, don’t always chat with the guests; it’s disrupting the overall atmosphere.” Mu Ran replied off-topic.

Why bother?

Cooking is so tiring.

She’s that lazy, isn’t ordering takeout easier?

And she’s already hired a nanny. When the time comes, the nanny will cook for her; she doesn’t want to cook.

[Hahaha, I heard that Mu Ran and the variety show’s director are college classmates, and still sisters, is this how sisters act daily?]

[I feel like I have issues, she, who’s hardly done any work, is willing to cook for a child, and I’m actually touched!!! Ridiculous.]

[Curious about the director’s looks, her voice really sounds sweet.]

…

Regarding Mu Ran’s cooking, the bullet comments quietened down a lot. This round was difficult to criticize, and the kids chose to lay low.

Mu Ran brought the two dishes to the table.

Chu Xijin applauded: “Auntie is awesome!”

“Right, I also think I’ve made historic progress today.” Mu Ran looked around and called over the cameraman who had been to her house, “Help me get some close-up shots, so I can print out photos of these two dishes later.”

“Alright.”

The cameraman obediently complied.

Mu Ran ate with a sense of fulfillment. After eating, Chu Xijin washed the dishes while Mu Ran returned to her rocking chair, looking up at the starry sky in the suburbs.

Now it was the time when office workers were leaving work, many people flocked into the live-streaming room. Seeing the child working and Mu Ran resting, many transformed into moral warriors, starting to criticize Mu Ran’s actions.

Unexpectedly.

Mu Ran suddenly said: “Now at this moment, the livestream’s popularity should be quite high, so I might as well say that my movie ’Miao Ling’ is currently showing. It tells the story of a girl pretending to be a big shot in the nineties. If anyone is interested, you can check it out at the cinema. I personally think I filmed it pretty well. Thank you!”

[She really made me tear up, she actually said thank you to me.]

[You’re something else!]

[Today, I went to watch this movie with my best friend. I must say, it’s really interesting. That girl is only sixteen. Due to her mature appearance and similarity to a female leader, she pretends to be her, leading to a series of intriguing events. If you’re interested, you should check it out.]

[Ha, money-grubbing both ways, impressive.]

[The bullet comments are full of paid promoters for the movie, disgusting.]

…

Netizens now really find her annoying, but some, because of the bullet comments and organic promotions, actually bought movie tickets.

Moreover, Director Mu’s movies are guaranteed in quality.

Mu Ran is very pleased with her maneuver.

Jiao Yuyao, who constantly pays attention to her, also took the opportunity to promote the movie. The film has been in the theaters for only a few days, and its current trend is quite good. If they can seize the opportunity, it could reach new heights.
