Help! My pet supervillain has three personalities!

"Huh? Sister?" Lin Hao sat up abruptly, his eyes still blurry, and looked at Tang Yue.

Tang Yue licked her slightly dry lips: ...Hmm, it works very quickly. She was indeed a bit helpless. It seems she has to find Lin Tian as soon as possible, otherwise, she is really afraid that he will fall into a deep sleep one day and never be able to be woken up again.

"Little sister, are you... hungry?" he slurred out a few words, his mind blank.

Before Tang Yue could answer, he put his hand inside his clothes and mumbled, "There's... candied hawthorn, you can have some!"

Before he was even fully awake, he subconsciously took the candied hawthorn from the oil-wrapped paper and placed it in Tang Yue's hand.

"You haven't finished eating yet?"

Lin Hao grinned foolishly: "Sis loves to eat it, so I... will keep it."

Tang Yue: ...Although I should be very touched at this moment, this candied hawthorn is covered in his drool!

"...You eat. Okay, now that you're up, let's go to the kitchen. I'll make something nice for us."

"Uh-huh."

Tang Yue took Lin Hao to find the housekeeper, who found them a small kitchen with a fairly complete supply of ingredients.

"Thank you, Uncle Butler!" she said politely.

The butler liked Tang Yue very much, this polite young man. He smiled and said, "It's alright. The young master has already given instructions. Please feel free to ask if you need anything."

"Well, Uncle Butler, could you put a bigger bed in my room? My brother will be staying with me recently, and he's not quite right in the head, so we'll have to sleep in the same room."

Upon hearing this, the butler glanced at the burly man with a topknot standing behind Tang Yue: "Yes, that's fine. This morning, I already instructed the servants to clean a new room for you..."

"No need for that, just bring a bed to my room, we're not picky."

"Alright, I'll have a servant deliver it to you in a bit."

"Yes, thank you, Uncle Butler."

Tang Yue bowed again to express her gratitude, and the housekeeper smiled kindly before leaving the small kitchen.

Actually, the main reason she let Lin Hao sleep in the same room was that she was worried he might cause some trouble and get into some serious problems for her. So, it was better to keep him under her watchful eye.

"Alright, now you sit here obediently, I'll cook for us!" Tang Yue casually pushed Lin Hao onto a stool in the kitchen.

"Little sister, I can start a fire."

Lin Hao sat on the stool, his eyes darting back and forth between Tang Yue and the stove.

In his memory, he often cooked with his sister; he would start the fire, and his sister would cook.

"You...can you do that?" Tang Yue asked with some doubt.

"Yes, little sister...praise...good!"

"Alright, then... I'll trust you this once."

So Tang Yue moved a small stool and placed it near the stove. Lin Hao cleverly took small steps and sat down on the stool.

Tang Yue raised an eyebrow, amused.

Then he gave Lin Hao a tinderbox and told him to figure it out himself.

Actually, she also had a lighter, but she was afraid he wouldn't know how to use it, so she gave him a traditional tinderbox instead.

Lin Hao was really good at starting a fire. He first put a bunch of flammable wood chips into the stove, then lit them with a tinderbox, and then picked out some thinner branches to gradually increase the fire.

Before long, the fire grew bigger.

Tang Yue hurriedly scooped water from the water vat and added it to the large iron pot.

She also needs hot water to wash the vegetables later.

She's in a good mood today, so she's going to make a snail rice noodle hot pot.

Therefore, she now needs to prepare ingredients and seasonings.

There's no need to worry about these things; there's plenty in the space, and they're fresh and won't expire.

So, she counted the ingredients and found they should include: snail hot pot: rice noodles, pickled bamboo shoots, wood ear mushrooms, peanuts, dried bean curd sticks, fried eggs, and um... braised chicken feet and water spinach. That should be all for now.

Then there are my favorite hot pot ingredients: sliced ​​beef, sliced ​​lamb, fish balls, shrimp paste, beef balls, crab sticks, crayfish, wide rice noodles, gluten, tofu sheets, mini fried dough sticks, tripe... Oh, and of course, a must-have in the North: handmade noodles!

Next comes the seasonings: snail soup base packet, chili oil, white vinegar, red vinegar, hot pot base, millet peppers, white garlic, ... oyster sauce, and some pork bones to make soup.

Before long, Tang Yue had prepared a bunch of dishes. Lin Hao was a bit of a simpleton, constantly adding fuel to the stove, so he didn't notice what Tang Yue was doing with her back to him.

All he knew was that the fire was about to go out and he needed to add more firewood.

Later, Tang Yue assigned him the task of washing vegetables and peeling garlic, which he did with even more enthusiasm.

After handing over the task of washing vegetables to Lin Hao, Tang Yue began to set up a small wooden table in the yard. Her space contained a copper pot, a double-compartment type. She herself didn't know when some of the things in her space had appeared. She was carefree and didn't care. As long as it worked, that was fine.

Two pieces of special solid alcohol were placed in the middle of the copper pot, and that's how the simple copper pot was assembled.

After finishing that, she went into the kitchen and started making the hot pot broth.

Making the broth is quite laborious, but once it's in, you don't need to watch the pot much. So, she first put the bone broth in before starting to chop and prepare the vegetables.

Once the bone broth was ready, the vegetables were almost prepared as well.

The kitchen was bustling with activity.

Murong Minglang obediently returned to his small study, finished his homework, and then had Murong Bai check it. Only then did he sneak off alone to the small kitchen with his basketball on his back to find Tang Yue.

As for how he knew Tang Yue was in the small kitchen, it was because he met the housekeeper on his way to find her and he was told by him. Otherwise, he would have made another wasted trip, as the small kitchen was not close to where Tang Yue lived.

When Murong Minglang brought the ball to the small kitchen, Tang Yue had already prepared the soup for the hot pot. She was currently cooking the rice noodles for the snail rice noodles. After the rice noodles were cooked, they were rinsed with cold water and set aside to make them more chewy.

At this moment, Tang Yue had just started preparing the hot pot broth for her snail rice noodles, and the unique pungent smell of snail rice noodles had not yet spread. Therefore, when Murong Minglang arrived, the first thing he smelled was the aroma of the hot pot broth.

His eyes sparkled as he looked at the copper pot.

"Hey, Xiao Tang, what's this? It smells so good!"

Tang Yue carried out a bowl of rice noodles that had been rinsed in cold water, smiling broadly as she said, "This is called hot pot. How is it? Doesn't it smell amazing?"

"Wow, I didn't know you were such a good cook!"

Tang Yue was delighted to receive the praise. She wiped her nose with her thumb and smiled smugly, "Of course! I simmered this soup base for a long time, so of course it's delicious."

"Oh, what about the other half? Why is it just water?" Murong Minglang looked curiously at the other half of the red broth.
