"Meow!"

Awoken by Mimi's meowing, Huang Tao gradually emerged from his slumber.

He glanced at the alarm clock; it was still early.

At that moment, he also recalled what happened last night.

He remembered Xuanxuan had been giving him a back massage last night!

And then...

Did he just fall asleep?

Oh my!

Huang Tao couldn't help but pat his own forehead and let out a wry smile.

He never expected that it was Xuanxuan who took care of him last night.

After all, the blanket covering him couldn't have just grown legs and run onto his body!

Turning his head, he immediately noticed Xuanxuan sleeping beside him.

At this moment, her pajama was rolled up, revealing her little tummy, as she slept soundly!

While the small blanket lay messily at her feet, all alone.

Obviously!

Xuanxuan had kicked it off.

"Oh dear!"

He couldn't help but exclaim.

This way, she'll catch a cold easily!

He quickly reached out to place his hand on Xuanxuan's stomach.

To check Xuanxuan's body temperature.

Don't ask why he doesn't feel the temperature with the forehead.

The reason is the abdomen is the best area to sense temperature by touch.

Because the abdomen is close to internal organs, the body's temperature changes are rapidly reflected there.

Moreover, traditional Chinese medicine considers the abdomen as the "Palace of the Five Viscera and Six Bowels", using the hand to touch it allows one to accurately understand the changes in body temperature, which is much more reliable than touching the forehead.

Fortunately, Xuanxuan's body temperature was normal.

He hurriedly pulled down her pajama and covered her up again with the quilt.

Children generally have a habit of kicking off the blanket at night.

Last night, he was too tired and slept too soundly to take care of this.

He didn't even know how long Xuanxuan had been sleeping like this.

He was filled with self-blame.

But as Xuanxuan was covered again, she seemed a little dissatisfied; she smacked her rosy little lips, furrowed her brows, wriggled her small body, and kicked her slender legs hard, causing the quilt to slip off again.

What could he do?

He could only cover her up again.

Thinking about how he had been too tired last night to properly take care of Xuanxuan, to the extent that she kicked off the blanket without him noticing.

He pondered.

Should he hire someone to share some of his work?

This way, he could have more energy to take good care of Xuanxuan.

Just as he thought of this, a system prompt suddenly echoed in Huang Tao's mind.

[Detected that the host intends to hire employees, triggering a side quest: Please hire at least two employees within a week, reward for completion is a random Culinary Skills.]

Huh?

This task came a bit suddenly.

But it's not bad.

He gladly accepted this task.

"Meow!"

Mimi started meowing again, sounding rather anxious.

Afraid it might disturb Xuanxuan, he quickly got out of bed, opened the door, and went out of the bedroom to find this little troublemaker.

He saw Mimi running around frantically in the corner of the bedroom doorway.

Huang Tao: Σ(°△°|||)︴

He stepped forward, grabbed the back of Mimi's neck, lifted it, and carried it to the living room.

Once on the ground, Mimi's two front paws assumed a pit-digging posture on the floor.

It then sprinted back to the door, turning its head to call at Huang Tao with its large, anxious eyes as if to say, "Human, I need to go!"

Oh my!

It finally dawned on Huang Tao.

It wanted to go out to take care of its business!

Knowing this little yellow cat was quite smart, he didn't expect it to be this smart.

Not bad!

He walked over and opened the door.

Took it downstairs and pointed to a flower bed not far away, saying, "Go ahead."

Mimi, already impatient, darted over there in a flash, disappearing into the bushes in the blink of an eye.

Soon, it came running back quickly, crouching at Huang Tao's feet, looking up at him contentedly, and meowing.

"I've finished my business, human, we can go home now~"

He chuckled and called it to follow along.

Back upstairs at home, he saw Xuanxuan standing barefoot in the living room, looking disappointed.

"Xuanxuan..."

Huang Tao hurriedly went forward to pick her up: "Why are you out here without wearing your shoes?"

"Daddy, Xuanxuan woke up, didn't see daddy, and got so anxious I forgot to put on shoes..."

Xuanxuan hugged his neck and said a bit aggrieved: "And then, without seeing daddy and Mimi, I thought daddy left Xuanxuan to go to the shop..."

"Daddy just took Mimi to the toilet earlier."

Huang Tao found shoes for her to wear and said gently with a smile, "Daddy would never go to the shop without Xuanxuan! Rest assured, even if I don't take Mimi to the shop, I'll definitely take Xuanxuan."

Xuanxuan: o(〃'▽'〃)o

Mimi: ···=థ౪థ....

No way~

"Meow~"

It meowed with its head raised, reminding Huang Tao not to be so heartless and leave it behind.

Unfortunately, it was ignored!

Xuanxuan thought for a moment, worriedly saying, "Daddy, if Mimi stays home alone, it might get scared. Can we take it to the shop with us?"

"Alright!"

Huang Tao nodded.

Mimi: *★°*:.☆(￣▽￣)/$:*.°★*

Now I see!

The little master is the most influential voice in this house!

"Meow!"

It quickly came over, wagging its tail to befriend the little master, planning for its future.

"Good Mimi..."

Xuanxuan crouched down, smiling as she petted Mimi's head.

"Xuanxuan, Mimi's a bit dirty, so remember to wash your hands afterwards!" Huang Tao reminded her.

She nodded excitedly like a pecking chick: "Uh-huh~"

"It's getting late, Xuanxuan, you should change your clothes. Once you're dressed and ready, we'll head to the shop."

Unwilling to part with Mimi, Xuanxuan obediently went back to her room to change clothes, then went to the bathroom to freshen up.

Once she was done, the father and daughter, along with Mimi, headed out.

From that point on, there was a cat added to the basket of Huang Tao's electric scooter.

Upon arriving at the shop.

Chen Weihao rode in on his tricycle, delivering the ingredients Huang Tao needed to the shop.

The two of them worked together to move all the ingredients into the kitchen.

Before leaving, Huang Tao asked Chen Weihao to pass a message to have his uncle prepare 20 kilos of pork ribs for lunch.

Chen Weihao, upon hearing this, realized Huang Tao was planning to introduce a new dish!

He readily agreed, guaranteeing timely delivery.

Then he rode his tricycle back.

Soon, the entire market of vendors knew Huang Tao was planning to release a new dish.

Completely unaware that his unreleased new dish was being anticipated by the market vendors, Huang Tao was calmly busy in the kitchen at that moment.

From time to time, he looked up at Xuanxuan, seeing her sitting on a little chair playing with Mimi.

Entertaining herself.

Poor Mimi looked completely done with life!

When Huang Tao saw the harmony between the little girl and the cat, he was relieved and focused on his work.

Soon.

The fillings and preparation procedures were all ready.

The braised pork trotters were brewing in the broth pot.

And the century egg and lean pork congee was simmering too.

At this moment.

The shop door was pushed open...

Jiang Guowei walked in with a serious expression.
