Thinking of this, Lin Xu stopped practicing his shots and went directly to the garage on the second basement level. He took out the filming equipment from the trunk and went to the kitchen to set up the cameras, preparing for the shoot.
As he was busy, he heard Shen Baobao and his elder sister-in-law talking outside:
"So tired! Let's quickly change and see what's in the kitchen to eat. We need to refuel."
"Me too. I feel like the brisket we had for lunch has completely digested... I wonder if Brother-in-law is back yet. If he's not, let's just reheat the leftover brisket and sneakily eat it."
"Hmm... Weren't we going to make noodles?"
"If Brother-in-law comes back, we can just make a fresh batch. We can even make extra. I didn't eat my fill at noon because I was afraid you'd laugh at how much I ate..."
Soon, two beauties in bathrobes shuffled in wearing slippers, muttering about the Tomato Stew Beef Brisket they had for lunch.
Chen Yan was vividly describing how much she could eat when they both spotted Lin Xu at the kitchen door, holding a watermelon.
"Ah! Brother-in-law, when did you get back?"
"What are you doing holding a watermelon, Xu Bao? Playing the role of an onlooker?"
Both were quite surprised.
Chen Yan secretly sighed in relief. Thank goodness they were talking about food when they came in and not about our conversation while swimming earlier. Otherwise, I'd want to find a hole to crawl into right now.
Lin Xu said, "While we still have watermelons, I plan to film an episode on making Watermelon Curd."
Watermelon Curd?
Shen Jiayue and Chen Yan looked at each other, excitement gleaming in their eyes.
"Can we have some then?"
"Of course. It's made to be eaten."
Lin Xu said this and, holding the watermelon, walked into the kitchen. The Watermelon Curd needed to be refrigerated before it could be eaten, so he had to hurry and not delay the tomato brisket noodles planned for the evening.
Shen Jiayue and Chen Yan quickly went upstairs to change.
WAKAKA! We're going to have Watermelon Curd!
By the time the two of them had changed and come downstairs, Lin Xu had just finished recording the intro.
He was now adjusting the camera, preparing to film the scenes of scooping out the watermelon.
The method for making Watermelon Curd is quite straightforward: squeeze the watermelon into juice, melt Agar and mix it in, then pour the mixture into a mold to cool and set.
When it's time to eat, cut it into pieces and drizzle some refrigerated Crystal Sugar Water over it. Eaten cold and refreshing, it's truly a Divine Artifact for beating the heat.
"Is that all the ingredients? It looks so simple," Chen Yan said, leaning over. Seeing there weren't many ingredients, an eager expression appeared on her face.
If I learn to make this heat-busting Divine Artifact, it'll be so convenient whenever I want to eat some in the future! Besides, the Watermelon Curd from outside always seems to have additives. Making it myself would be much safer and more reassuring.
"Watermelon Curd really isn't difficult at all," Lin Xu said. "You two can learn if you'd like."
After adjusting the camera, Lin Xu was ready to start filming.
Hearing they could really learn, Chen Yan immediately pulled a hair tie off Shen Baobao's wrist and tied her own wavy hair into a neat ponytail.
Alright, if I'm going to learn to cook, I need to look sharp and be efficient!
"Do you two want to be on camera?" Lin Xu asked. "If you do, I'll teach you step by step as we film. If not, I'll shoot the video first and then teach you afterward."
The prospect of being on camera immediately made Shen Baobao's eyes light up.
"Yes, yes! I've been wanting to see what I look like on video."
After saying that, she looked at Chen Yan and asked, "Yan Bao, is my outfit okay? Is it too casual?"
Shen Baobao was currently wearing a rather loose white T-shirt with light gray yoga pants; after all, she was at home, so casual and relaxed was the way to go.
"Casual is good. You should dress comfortably at home," Chen Yan replied, playfully flicking her own luxurious dress, her words full of sly implications.
However, Shen Baobao was not one to be outdone. Seeing her cousin dressed as if attending a cocktail party, she smiled and said to Lin Xu, "Later, give Cousin Yan more screen time. Lots of unmarried young men watch your videos. It'll be a good chance to find her a match and save my aunt and uncle the headache."
Chen Yan: "!!!!!!!!"
I was just teasing you a little, and this is how you treat me? Some plastic sisterhood this is! I wouldn't care if it ended!
But then she thought about her brother-in-law's cooking skills and the Watermelon Curd they were about to make... Oh, forget it. It's still worth it.
Chen Yan then said, "You two lovebirds can be on camera. I'll handle the filming; that happens to be my strong suit."
After saying this, Chen Yan began adeptly adjusting the camera settings.
Since Shen Baobao was going to participate, they naturally had to re-record the intro.
Once everything was ready, Lin Xu addressed the camera, "Hello everyone. Today, I'm not going to teach you how to cook a dish, but how to make a very simple dessert that even a kitchen rookie can master—Watermelon Curd."
He introduced the ingredients needed for the Watermelon Curd.
Then he continued, "To prove that this dessert is really simple, I've specially invited my Baobao to follow along and demonstrate firsthand that this is truly a treat anyone with hands can make."
With a gesture from him, Shen Baobao walked over and greeted the camera, "Hello everyone, I am Boss Lin's fiancée. Welcome, everyone, to follow my Xu Bao's account."
Chen Yan, who was recording from behind the camera, couldn't help but roll her eyes. If I weren't craving Watermelon Curd so badly right now, I'd really give that couple a piece of my mind! Flaunting their affection in broad daylight! Have they no shame?
After a brief interaction, Lin Xu had Shen Baobao follow his example, soaking a small handful of Agar in slightly warm water.
