I controlled the entire Zerg race with my superb culinary skills.

After leaving the supermarket, I put everything in the trunk and then took Youyou to a dessert shop.

"Welcome, Your Excellency Chu Yang."

"Do you still have crème brûlée? I'd like three."

"Yes, yes, I'll pack it up right away."

This dessert shop makes delicious crème brûlée; all three of my kids love it, and I was just passing by today so I decided to buy some.

"Your Excellency Chu Yang, this is our new pudding mochi. Please have a serving to try."

"OK, thanks."

After buying the desserts, it was almost lunchtime. When they got home, Chu Yang placed Youyou in the enclosure where he usually played, where the baby-rearing robot insect would look after him. He then went to organize and put away the things he had just bought.

"Director Liu, how about we grab some lunch together?"

Chu Yang turned around and spoke to Liu Yuejin and Xiao Wen behind him.

"My sweet and sour pork ribs are absolutely amazing."

Liu Yuejin, who was about to refuse, suddenly received a message from the back office, and nodded to Chu Yang with bright eyes.

"Then we are in for a treat today, to eat sweet and sour pork ribs made by Lord Chu Yang himself."

In the kitchen, Chu Yang put on the pink apron and chopped the pork ribs he bought into roughly the same size pieces. The ribs needed to be blanched first, with some ginger slices and cooking wine to remove the fishy smell and residual blood. When he saw the ribs change color and foam rise to the surface, he took the ribs out, rinsed them again with hot water, and then set them aside to drain.

First, he caramelized the sugar. He poured a small amount of oil into the pan, added some rock sugar, hesitated for a moment, then grabbed a handful more and added it in. He then turned on low heat and slowly stirred the sugar until it melted and turned a caramel color, with small bubbles appearing. He picked up the spare ribs next to him and quickly poured them into the pan, stirring rapidly to coat each rib with a beautiful layer of caramel. Next, he added two tablespoons of light soy sauce, one tablespoon of dark soy sauce, four tablespoons of rice vinegar, and one tablespoon of salt, continuing to stir-fry evenly.

Next, add warm water to the pot to cover the ribs, then add a star anise, a small piece of cinnamon, two bay leaves, and other spices to enhance the aroma. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium-low heat and simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. After simmering for about 40 minutes, the broth will be almost reduced. Finally, turn up the heat to reduce the sauce until it thickens and coats the ribs, then turn off the heat and serve.

A delicious-looking, fragrant, and flavorful dish of sweet and sour pork ribs was placed on the table, and Liu Yuejin deliberately gave it a ten-second close-up shot. The enticing aroma wafted over, and the two of them couldn't help but swallow hard.

Then Chu Yang made another plate of stir-fried potatoes. This time he was no longer nervous and his knife skills were very sharp when he cut the potato shreds. The viewers in the live stream once again let out a deafening shout.

After the shredded potatoes were cooked, I thought the ribs would be on the sweeter side, so I took out the kimchi I had marinated earlier from the refrigerator. Lunch was ready.

"Director Liu, Xiao Wen, come on, sit down and have a taste."

After getting them utensils, Chu Yang noticed they were a bit reserved, so he enthusiastically picked up a piece of pork rib for each of them. Liu Yuejin and Xiao Wen, who had been wanting to try it for a while, no longer cared about being shy and simply picked up the ribs and fed them to themselves.

"Hmm~"

Liu Yuejin's eyes widened in surprise, and he exchanged a glance with Xiao Wen, who was equally shocked. They both understood.

"It's so delicious! This is the first time I've ever had such delicious food."

As he spoke, Xiao Wen became so excited that he almost cried, his eyes glistening with tears, feeling that his life as an insect was complete.

Even through the screen, viewers couldn't help but drool at the two directors' expressions of rapture and fascination. They had all witnessed how Chu Yang had prepared the meal and dared not comment that he was cooking for a staged photoshoot.

[Hahaha, those clowns who questioned Lord Chu Yang before, are your faces stinging?]

Look at my Lord Chu Yang! His knife skills are amazing! The potato shreds are so thin you could thread a needle with them. Can you do that?

[You big fools, quickly submit to our Lord Chu Yang!]

Watching Chu Yang pick up a piece of pork rib and walk straight towards the camera on the screen, Jin Ke excitedly opened her mouth and stuffed a handful of chocolate beans into it, while the pork rib on the screen was fed to Youyou.

Chu Yang knew they all loved sweets, so he added extra sugar to the ribs this time. He ate one piece and found it too sweet and a bit cloying, so he quickly ate a bite of spicy cabbage to cleanse his palate. But for Liu Yuejin and Xiao Wen, the taste was just right, and even Youyou ate three pieces.

The viewership of the other two live streams has been declining, and the directors of both groups have received messages from the backstage reminding them, but instead of reminding them to create exciting moments, they are reminded to pay attention to the content they are filming, because the viewers are not very enthusiastic about them.

After lunch, Youyou started to cry and fuss. Many viewers in the live stream were pleading for Youyou. Even Liu Yuejin and Xiao Wen were on tenterhooks, afraid that they would be beaten for the cub's incessant crying.

"Baby, Daddy will hold you while you sleep, hold you while you sleep."

This time of day is when Youyou takes his afternoon nap. The little guy is sleepy and needs to be coaxed to fall asleep. Chu Yang holds Youyou horizontally in his arms and walks back and forth slowly, gently patting his back with one hand and humming a lullaby.

"Rock-a-bye, rock-a-bye, my baby is going to sleep. Little flowery blanket, cover yourself with it. Baby, baby is asleep, mmm mmm mmm..."

Soon, Youyou's little eyelids became too heavy to keep open, and he fell asleep in Chu Yang's arms. After holding him and patting him for a while, Chu Yang carefully placed the baby in the incubator, draped the small floral blanket next to him over his belly, and then set it to silent mode.

Can I say that I almost fell asleep just now because of Lord Chu Yang's coaxing?

[Not just you, I'm the same way.]

[Haha, this is the first time I've seen a male insect lull its young to sleep! Did you hear the lullaby clearly?]

. . . . . .

The video of Chu Yang putting his little master to sleep made many viewers drowsy, including Jin Ke, who had stayed up all night to watch the live stream. Now, he was successfully lulled to sleep by Chu Yang's lullaby. The robot next to him thoughtfully turned off its personal terminal and covered him with a blanket after its little master fell asleep.

After Youyou fell asleep, Chu Yang sat on the ground next to him and began to tidy up the scattered toys, cleaning up his little playground and then soaking and washing the toys in hot water.

"Your Excellency Chu Yang, you could have easily delegated these tasks to the machine insects. Why are you doing them yourself?"

“I’m not comfortable letting the robot wash them. It’s better to wash them myself. Also, this way I can check if any toys are damaged, so that Youyou won’t get hurt while playing.”

[Looks like I'm not a good mother father; the robot bugs do everything around the house.]

Ah, not me either.

Why is there such a virile man as Lord Chu Yang? Why isn't he my lord?

[That's a good question, I'd like to ask it too.]

. . . .

Chu Yang was unaware of the immense popularity of his livestream. He hadn't received any messages from Xu Le that afternoon; Xu Le was probably busy. He felt somewhat idle, but he didn't want the situation to become awkward.

Think quickly, what else can be done? Think quickly!

I racked my brains, thinking about everything from upstairs to downstairs. I couldn't go to the vegetable garden. After thinking about it for a long time, I finally remembered the oyster mushrooms I bought that morning. A flash of inspiration struck me, and I thought of something I could do.
