The beginning is only when you become a chef

Chapter 2 Dad and his five-year-old daughter
"Finally, I have added points to a basic skill to the [Beginner] level."

Xia An nodded with satisfaction.

After traveling through time and space, with the God of Cooking panel, all your hard work and improvement in cooking skills will be very intuitive.

In his previous life, he was a hardcore food lover who roamed around on multiple platforms and followed many powerful people in the field of food.

For example, Master Wang Gang and special chef Sui Bian are the ones he likes and highly recommends to the top because of their content and skills.

So when Xia An traveled through time to this life several years ago, he adjusted his mood and chose to actively embrace this era of gourmet food.

But it only takes about half a year to truly awaken the panel and start playing with it.

In the early years, Xia An was more like a tourist, traveling to many places with a backpack.

Now, he lives in Lijiang City and chooses to stay in this beautiful tourist city to open a food stall and sell it.

Just as Xia An was about to take the pots and pans off the electric tricycle.

The phone in my pocket rang again.

Caller ID.

【Xiao Xi's mother】

Xia An sighed, stopped cleaning up and said to himself, "Is there nothing I can do but face it?"

In fact, he has a five-year-old daughter named Lan Xiaoxi.

This is a mess in his life. When he woke up in the room, he was hungover and had sex with a woman for no apparent reason.

Later, he found out that this woman was his so-called childhood sweetheart.

Xia An frowned. This number had called him once a few days ago.

"Hey, you still live in that courtyard in the new village, right?"

A very pleasant female voice came from the phone, confirming something.

Xia An said: "Yeah, I've lived here for more than half a year, and I don't plan to move in the short term."

The woman exhaled and discussed:
"I told you a few days ago that I will personally take Xiaoxi over later. You are his father, so it's okay for you to take care of him for a while, right?"

Anyone could hear the concern and doubt in the woman's voice.

Xia An could understand it too.

The two didn't have much interaction, especially after Xia An woke up, he almost cut off all the ties of the past and started a new life.

But because of that confused incident, the woman gave birth to a baby girl after ten months of pregnancy.

Three years ago, the woman met Xia An with the blood relationship certificate. The little girl could already look at Xia An eagerly and call him dad in a timid voice.

Now, two years have passed and the little girl is five years old.

Xia An rubbed his eyebrows and thought for a long time before saying, "Then come over now. I have something to go out later."

"I'm outside your door now!"

Xia An: "What?"

Xia An didn't even hang up the phone. He turned around and walked quickly to the gate of the courtyard and opened the door.

Under the moonlight.

In the dim light of the solar-powered lamps on the wall.

A woman in a dignified light-colored women's suit stood quietly at the foot of the doorstep.

I heard the door open.

The woman took off the mask she was wearing, revealing a simple and pretty face.

Next to her was a delicate and lovely little girl like a fairy tale princess, with her clear and silly big eyes open.

His face looked timid and a little scared, but his big eyes were wide open and full of spirit, staring at Xia An without blinking, his eyes full of anticipation.

Xia An paused for a moment and said with emotion: "It's been two years since we last met?"

The woman named Lan Qingya nodded unnaturally:

"Yes, long time no see."

Xia An met the gaze of another pair of big, watery eyes full of innocence.

The feeling of blood connection with the five-year-old girl is so clear. How can I describe my feeling? I just want to hug her, hold her close and hold her high.

"Dad..." The little girl bit her lip and walked towards him step by step.

Seeing the little girl overcome her shyness after not seeing him for a long time, Xia An couldn't help but reveal a hint of fondness in his eyes. After a brief hesitation, he bent down, with awkward movements, and picked up his daughter Lan Xiaoxi.

"Xiao Xi, do you miss your dad?"

He said, and stretched out a hand to pinch Lan Xiaoxi's face.

All I can say is wow, this kid is so cute.

The little face, which still has some baby fat, is white and delicate, as if water could be squeezed out of it.

Facial features such as the nose are small and straight, the lips are three-dimensional and perfect, and even the picturesque eyebrows and eyes are quite similar to Xia An.

Her hair was combed neatly and smooth, and she wore a pearl bow hair accessory, paired with a white puffy skirt, tights and small leather shoes, looking like a little princess.

"Dad! Daddy!"

The little girl in his arms had a soft voice that sounded aggrieved, but also very happy: "Why didn't you go to the Magic City to find Xixi for so long?"

In fact, Xia An was also very confused. He always remembered the existence of his daughter, but he still found it difficult to accept the identity of a nanny after living a new life.

However, now we meet face to face again.

Xia An was extremely sure that this was not some happy thing about being a father, this was definitely the daughter he created himself. He felt a sense of intimacy from the little girl that came from a soul connection.

Listening to the little girl asking him pitifully, there was a feeling of being wronged in her tone.

Xia An subconsciously hugged her tightly and tried to calm down his confusion.

He spoke to his lovely daughter who was hugging his neck, trying to keep his tone as gentle as possible, even making a clip-like sound that made him secretly feel cold:

"Because Dad is always on a business trip."

Lan Xiaoxi's big eyes flickered, her pupils sparkled, and she stared straight at Xia An.

The little girl seemed to be carefully remembering what her father looked like now.

"Gulu~"

Suddenly, in the quiet village, the sound of hunger was heard.

Xia An looked down at Xiao Xi who was holding her belly.

Even Lan Qingya was stunned for a moment, and then showed a slightly helpless expression:

"I just finished a show in Shanghai and caught a late-night flight to Lijiang City."

The implication is that Xiaoxi is hungry.

"come in."

Xia An said something to the woman casually, and then asked the little girl gently: "Xiao Xi, are you hungry?"

Xiaoxi blinked her big, lively eyes, covered her belly, and pouted: "I'm hungry. Xixi can eat lots of delicious food!"

"How much exactly is a lot?" Xia An joked.

Xiaoxi gestured: "It feels like I can eat a whole cow!"

As she spoke, Xiaoxi suddenly hugged Xia An's neck and pressed her soft cheek against his.

She even said in a soft and tender voice: "Dad, did you make something delicious for Xiaoxi?"

Xia An felt that he was completely melted by cuteness:

"Xiao Xi, do you know how much a cow eats? Daddy will make you something delicious, but it won't be as much as a cow."

A strong urge grew in his heart. If there were dragon liver and phoenix marrow in the world, he would find them for his daughter and cook them into the most exquisite delicacy in the world.

Entered the courtyard.

Lan Qingya's eyes swept across the electric tricycle parked in the yard.

I stayed on the neon signs on the bus for a long time: "Private Chef Late-Night Snacks" and "Bobo Chicken, One Yuan a Skewer".

Then he sighed.

Lower your eyes.

When Xia An carried her daughter to the lobby door on the first floor.

She couldn't help but frown and said:
“Are you setting up a street stall now?”
