Chapter 19 Be Reasonable Upon seeing a handsome young man wearing a pitiful expression, the lady of the house felt her nervousness in front of the camera dissipate, and she smiled. “Would you like some breakfast? No problem.” She stood up and prepared to cook. Simone glanced at the barely touched food on the table and said with a smile, “Lead us to the kitchen, miss. We’ll prepare something ourselves, or your food will become soggy.” Under normal circumstances, the lady of the house would not allow her guests to cook. However, the village head had informed her that these celebrities were here to experience their lives, so she nodded. “Sure. Follow me, then.” Simone’s team followed the lady to the kitchen. She pointed to the stove and taught them how to use it.

Then, she grabbed some noodles, four eggs, and some greens, and handed them to Simone’s team before returning to her breakfast. Once the lady of the house had left, Simone asked, “Does anyone know how to make noodles?” Zac and Eric shook their heads. “No.” Keira raised her hand. “I can, but only instant ramen.” Simone nodded. “Then let’s divide the tasks, shall we?” Her team members agreed. “Sure. We’ll go with your plan.” Simone pointed at the greens. “One of you can clean the greens. Another can boil the water for the noodles, and I need someone to fry the eggs. I’ll prepare the seasonings.” She didn’t want to do everything herself. Firstly, she didn’t want her teammates to rely on her every time they cooked, and secondly, she didn’t want to hog too much screen time. It would be better for the show if her teammates had their own moments as well.. Her teammates didn’t object. They thought Simone was a kind person. Despite being capable of doing everything herself, she chose not to, which would have monopolized the screen time. Zac put some water on the stove to heat it up while Eric cleaned the greens. Keira knew how to fry eggs, so it was easy for her to fry a few. The division of labor within the team made for an enjoyable spectacle. When Zac didn’t add enough water, Simone told him to add more. Seeing that Eric had only rinsed the greens, Simone instructed him to thoroughly wash them under running water. Keira added too little oil to her pan, so Simone taught her how to make crispy eggs with slightly runny yolks. Once Keira finished frying her eggs, Simone had also completed making the seasonings and broth. Shortly after, Simone ladled the cooked noodles and greens into bowls and added the sunny-side-up eggs on top. They looked appetizing and beautiful. Zac quickly took out his phone and snapped a photo of the noodles, and then the team mixed their noodles and began eating. The moment Keira, Zac, and Eric took their first bite, their eyes lit up.

eating. Simone was already a skilled cook to begin with, and her experiences in other worlds had further improved her culinary skills. Even though it was just a simple bowl of noodles, the seasoning and 1/4 precise cooking techniques made it an outstanding dish. The viewers could only watch as the team devoured their food. ‘I wasn’t hungry before, but now I am.’ ‘I just had breakfast, but I’m hungry again.” ‘Wow, I’m so touched. Zachy can finally help out in the kitchen.’” ‘All Zachy did was heat up a pot of water. ‘Ahem, participation award.’ ‘Eric only rinsed the greens. Simone insisted he wash them again, but I don’t mind.’ ‘I fried an egg just like Simone instructed. Crispy on the outside and runny on the inside. Yum!’ ‘It’s just a bowl of noodles, but they’re cating it like it’s a new culinary experience! “Their eating feels so genuine. They must really think it’s delicious. ‘Yeah, unlike the other team last night. Aaron and Leon said Jodie’s cooking was good, but they didn’t eat much.’ ‘I wish I could have some too. Simone can really cook. ‘No wonder Aaron wanted her to cook. He must have known she was a talented cook.’ ‘So, Simone and Aaron know each other very well? How else would he know?’ ‘I sense some drama. Could it be? Is Simone pursuing Aaron behind our backs?’ ‘I don’t think she’s interested in Aaron. She’s not playing hard to get like Aaron’s fans claim. ‘Simone didn’t try to steal the spotlight. She’s generous and caring. It’s
