The next morning, Chen Xuan woke up at five o'clock.
The show was live-streamed 24/7, with two sets of hosts and observers working in shifts to ensure coverage at all hours. With a program that had garnered so much anticipation even before its debut, there was no shortage of hosts or observers. People were eager to join in.
At five o'clock in the morning, the live stream had only a few tens of thousands of viewers.
When Chen Xuan stepped out of her room, the quiet live stream was immediately filled with new comments.
"Ah, Chen Xuan's awake?"
"It's only five o'clock, this is too early."
"Right, she's probably going to work and make breakfast."
"I noticed, a lot of streamers are awake already, especially those who chose the farmer challenge."
"Looking at their groggy faces, they must be regretting their choice to be farmers."
Those who had chosen the farmer challenge were indeed regretting it.
They soon realized that being a farmer was not as easy as they had imagined.
Each day was filled with tasks like weeding, feeding pigs and cows, or going to the mountains to gather firewood. The work was grueling, monotonous, and exhausting.
Meanwhile, after freshening up, Chen Xuan put on her shoes and headed out.
The cameramen were already waiting downstairs. Having learned from the previous night's experience, they were prepared with both a car and an electric bike.
"Good morning!" Chen Xuan greeted them as she walked down the stairs, then with a flash of her long legs, she took off running.
"Let's go," one cameraman mounted the electric bike, and the other sat behind, keeping the camera steady.
Without bothering to accommodate the cameramen, Chen Xuan started running at full speed, like the wind.
"Chen Xuan's at it again!"
"Wow, running on an empty stomach at this hour?"
"Chen Xuan's a real badass, no words, just action!"
"Huh? Is it this lively at five in the morning?"
"I'm here, good morning, Chen Xuan… uh, are we already running?"
[Little Chef] donated a Buddha Jumps Over the Wall soup and commented: "Chen Xuan, grab some breakfast! Running on an empty stomach is dangerous."
"Fainting? Are you looking down on Chen Xuan?"
At 5:50 AM, Chen Xuan arrived at the restaurant.
It was a 15-kilometer run, and she completed it in just 50 minutes.
"15 kilometers in 50 minutes? This is insane!"
"Average pace of 3.3 minutes per kilometer? Is this really Chen Xuan's true strength?"
"Chen Xuan, please catch your breath for a moment, at least pretend to be tired! You're making me think I could do it too!"
There weren't many people at the restaurant yet, but even so, in those 50 minutes, Chen Xuan had gained several thousand Reputation Points.
She walked into the restaurant and noticed that many customers were already having breakfast.
Looking around, the breakfast menu was simple: fried rice and noodles. The portions were large enough to fill anyone up.
Two waitresses were busy bringing dishes from the kitchen. Chen Xuan greeted them as she walked toward the kitchen.
"Uncle Li," she called.
Li Aimin, shaking his head, replied, "It's not that busy this early, I can manage alone."
"I usually wake up at this time," Chen Xuan said.
She walked over and asked, "What do you need me to do?"
Before Li Aimin could respond, Zhang Cuilan ran in and called out, "One egg fried rice and two bowls of snow cabbage pork noodles."
"Got it," Li Aimin said. "Chen Xuan, which one do you want to make?"
"I'll do the fried rice."
"Alright, then I'll start the soup." Li Aimin began preparing the stove.
Chen Xuan went to gather the ingredients for the fried rice.
Just as she picked up the eggs, a voice suddenly echoed in her mind.
"Beep! [Blessing of the Culinary God] triggered. Congratulations, host, you've acquired the recipe for [God-Level Fried Rice]!"
[God-Level Fried Rice]: Have you ever seen fried rice that glows?
The description was simple, but it made Chen Xuan's heart skip a beat.
Recipes in the [Chef's Purchase Channel] typically required at least 1 million Reputation Points. This recipe was essentially a free gift worth 1 million points.
Nice!
The introduction of [God-Level Fried Rice] was simple: fried rice that glows…
With the ingredients list in her mind, Chen Xuan quickly prepared the ingredients.
Two eggs, two spring onions, half a ham.
A simple set of ingredients.
But the simpler the dish, the harder it is to make it truly delicious.
Fried rice was no exception.
Chen Xuan closed her eyes, and at that moment, the entire process of making fried rice appeared clearly in her mind.
Two seconds later, she opened her eyes.
"Slap!"
She cracked two eggs into a bowl and quickly beat them.
She chopped the spring onions and diced the ham.
With elegant yet efficient knife skills, she caught the attention of viewers in the live stream.
"Here it comes, here it comes, Chen Xuan's knife skills are on display!"
"We're not even going through the steps, just drooling already!"
"Pause the lesson on knife skills, I'm too hungry."
Once everything was ready, she heated the wok and added oil.
At this moment, Chen Xuan was completely focused on the fried rice.
The wok heated up quickly, and Chen Xuan grabbed the ladle, pouring oil along the edges of the pan.
The oil spread evenly, collecting at the center of the wok.
The temperature rose, and Chen Xuan quickly poured the eggs into the pan.
"Sizzle~"
The moment the eggs hit the pan, they started to bubble, and Chen Xuan swiftly stirred them.
Egg fried rice required the eggs to remain tender. As she stirred, the eggs formed golden threads.
This step was crucial and difficult.
If the heat was too high, the eggs would form clumps or even burn.
If the heat was too low, the eggs wouldn't form threads, and the oil wouldn't be hot enough.
This required perfect technique.
Chen Xuan's eyes locked on the wok as the egg threads swirled in the pan, moving gracefully in circular motion.
She quickly grabbed the rice and added it to the wok.
Using the ladle, she broke up the rice, then started tossing the wok in rhythmic motions.
As the rice and egg threads tumbled through the air, the fragrant aroma filled the air.
Next, she added the ham and continued stirring.
Then she added salt.
As the dish neared completion, she tossed in the spring onions, adding a touch of green that made the golden fried rice even more beautiful.
With a few more tosses, Chen Xuan turned off the heat, and the fried rice was ready!
"Swish!"
With a flick of her wrist, she flipped the fried rice onto the plate.
Chen Xuan didn't bother with deliberate plating. Based on her natural understanding of presentation, she simply plated it perfectly with one swift motion.
The thin strands of egg tangled around the fluffy rice, glowing under the light, as if the fried rice itself was glowing!
Looking at the fried rice, Chen Xuan nodded in satisfaction and smiled slightly.
"Gululu~"
The sound of someone swallowing could be heard.
It was the cameramen, who had been watching this dish turn into an art piece.
They couldn't help but salivate, feeling an intense urge to taste it. They even had the strange feeling that the fried rice was calling out to them: "Eat me, eat me!"
