Tang Xiahuan frowned, staring intently at the "Young Dad" video on the screen.
He turned to Tang Hecai beside him and said, "Hecai, think about this. Will this 'Young Dad' participate in the second Chef God Competition next year?"
Old Master Tang's eyes were sharp, radiating an undeniable air of authority.
He spoke slowly, "Hecai, I've been watching this 'Young Dad' for a while now. Don't underestimate him just because he's currently focused on home-style dishes.
Think about it, which of the famous Chef God big shots started out by using the top-tier ingredients to show off their skills?
They all started with the most ordinary dishes, climbing to the peak of culinary arts step by step."
Tang Hecai looked hesitant, saying hesitantly, "Dad, that's true, but even if we give him top-tier ingredients, if he has no experience in preparing high-grade ingredients, will it work?"
Upon hearing this, Old Master Tang's face instantly darkened, and he scolded, "That's utter nonsense! What he lacks is just strong backing."
Just give him a chance, with his incredible knife skills and solid culinary foundation.
In two months, I guarantee he'll develop a dish that will blow people away."
Tang Hecai was still full of worry, and continued, "Dad, every person participating in the competition is a top-tier chef, each with a profound background.
This 'Young Dad', no matter how you look at it, seems to come from an ordinary family, and he's also making videos on Huayin to earn a little money."
Old Master Tang shook his head helplessly, and said earnestly, "Hecai, have you seen him accepting gifts during his live streams?
Haven't you seen how many people in the comments section are fighting to invite him?
He's genuinely sharing, giving his good cooking skills to the public without reservation.
Can those so-called top chefs do that?
They all kept their techniques under wraps, afraid of revealing even a little bit.
This 'Young Dad' was completely different from them. He harbored a genuine love for cooking, a pure passion."
At this moment, in the villa, Mengmeng hadn't completely recovered from her illness.
Jiang Ning felt sorry for her, wanting her to rest more.
He didn't want her to study subjects like math for the time being, figuring they'd wait until she was completely healed.
"Mengmeng, how about Uncle Jiang teaches you the piano today?"
Jiang Ning suggested gently.
Music was often the best medicine for soothing the heart, and he hoped to make Mengmeng happy with it.
"Okay, okay, Mengmeng loves playing the piano the most."
Mengmeng's eyes lit up, and she responded excitedly, her little hand tightly holding Jiang Ning's big hand.
The two of them, hand in hand, walked briskly to the piano room.
"Mengmeng, let's continue learning 'Two Tigers' today, alright?"
Jiang Ning asked with a smile, his eyes full of affection.
"Yes, Mengmeng really wants to quickly learn to play 'Two Tigers'. When Mommy comes back, I can play it for Mommy."
Mengmeng nodded vigorously, her face full of anticipation.
"Mengmeng is so good, come on."
Jiang Ning finished speaking and gently picked up Mengmeng, letting her sit on his lap.
Then, he happily hummed, "Two Tigers, Two Tigers, running fast, one without an ear..."
All the while, he nimbly played the piano.
Only five minutes passed.
"Ding—"
"Congratulations to the host, Beginner Piano Skill has been upgraded to Intermediate Piano Skill."
In an instant, a vast amount of Intermediate Piano Skill knowledge surged into Jiang Ning's mind like a tidal wave. Strangely, his vocal tone also underwent subtle changes, becoming richer and more pleasant.
This time, Jiang Ning didn't argue with the system again.
He thought to himself: Whatever level this Super Dad System wants to give, so be it. If I ask too many questions, I'll probably just get another, "Host, you've finally come to your senses."
Better to avoid making a fool of myself. Asking just leads to trouble.
Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and Mengmeng could already manage to play the simple melody of "Two Tigers" with some stumbles.
"Uncle Jiang, Mengmeng can play it now! Yay, Mengmeng finally learned it!"
Mengmeng clapped her hands excitedly, a bright smile blossoming on her face.
That smile was like the warm spring sun, dispelling the gloom in Jiang Ning's heart.
"Mm, Mengmeng, you're great!"
Jiang Ning didn't hesitate to praise her, his eyes full of satisfaction.
"Mengmeng, it's time for our piano lesson today. What does Mengmeng want to do now?"
Jiang Ning asked softly.
Mengmeng tilted her head, thought seriously for a moment, and said hesitantly, "Uncle Jiang, Mengmeng wants to learn kung fu."
"Huh?"
Jiang Ning was slightly stunned, a look of surprise on his face.
He had thought that after a night, Mengmeng would have forgotten the terrifying experience of yesterday afternoon.
He didn't expect that she was still fixated on learning kung fu.
It seemed that the shadow had taken root deep within Mengmeng's young heart, and it wouldn't be easily erased anytime soon.
"Alright, then Uncle Jiang will teach Mengmeng kung fu."
Jiang Ning shook his head helplessly, his heart filled with heartache.
It seems this psychological trauma can only be slowly smoothed over.
"Mm, Mengmeng will definitely study very seriously, Mengmeng will definitely become very, very amazing!"
Mengmeng's eyes were firm, and her small body seemed to contain endless strength.
"Alright, then Mengmeng, we will learn in this piano room, okay?"
Jiang Ning asked gently.
"Okay, Uncle Jiang."
Mengmeng nodded vigorously, eagerly wanting to start learning.
Then, Jiang Ning began to teach, demonstrating each move patiently and meticulously.
Every movement was done standardly and slowly, making it easier for Mengmeng to imitate.
Mengmeng learned with great enthusiasm; although her movements were still clumsy, she was full of energy.
Another five minutes passed.
"Ding——"
"Congratulations to the host, the Intermediate Martial Arts Level has been upgraded from Beginner Martial Arts Level."
With this prompt, a large amount of martial arts knowledge flooded Jiang Ning's mind.
Among them, the close-quarters combat techniques benefited him greatly.
At the same time, significant changes also occurred in his body.
His muscles became more solid, the lines more defined, and he seemed to be full of strength.
Subtle changes also occurred to his face.
Half an hour later.
Mengmeng's forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat, and her face was flushed from the exercise.
"Alright, Mengmeng, that's enough for today. Mengmeng, come on, Uncle Jiang will take you to take a bath."
Seeing this, Jiang Ning quickly said.
"But, Mengmeng still wants to learn, Mengmeng wants to become super amazing."
Mengmeng pouted, looking a little unwilling.
"That won't do, Mengmeng, you're all sweaty, you have to take a bath quickly, or you'll get sick again."
Jiang Ning patiently persuaded.
"Ah, okay."
Mengmeng, hearing that she might get sick again, and remembering the terrifying experience at the hospital, immediately agreed obediently.
This time, Jiang Ning didn't let Mengmeng soak in the bathtub.
Instead, he turned on the showerhead and quickly and gently helped Mengmeng rinse her body, fearing she would catch a cold.
After taking a shower, he quickly changed her into clean, soft clothes.
"Mengmeng, what do you want to do next? Draw, practice calligraphy, or study English?" Jiang Ning asked with a smile.
Mengmeng tilted her head and thought for a moment before saying, "Draw."
It seemed that Mengmeng preferred drawing over practicing calligraphy and English.
