In the courtyard, Little Treasure, Second Treasure, and Fourth Treasure were playing happily when they saw Third Treasure waving at them, signaling them to come back inside.

Second Treasure picked up Little Treasure. "Let's go, it's time to eat! Let's see what delicious food Sister Third Treasure made for us today."

At the doorway, Fourth Treasure casually asked, "How did it turn out?"

Third Treasure pursed her lips. "You'll find out when you see it."

At the dining table, Big Treasure served everyone's Mi Fan and quietly returned to his seat. Second Treasure and Fourth Treasure sensed the tense atmosphere, and their gazes inevitably turned to the stew Third Treasure was carrying.

Third Treasure had first stewed it, then transferred it to a clay pot to simmer over low heat for over ten minutes. As a result, it was still bubbling, and they could hear a gurgling sound. As for the aroma, there was none.

Once it was placed on the table, everyone leaned in for a look, and even Lin Feng's expression changed.

He forced a smile. "Third Treasure, did you put purple sweet potatoes in this?"

Otherwise, why was the soup purple? It looked just like a witch's poisonous brew!

Third Treasure shook her head. "Nope!"

"Then why is the soup purple?"

Third Treasure was even more clueless than Lin Feng. "I have no idea!"

Everyone was speechless.

Little Treasure was busy playing with the robot vacuum cleaner. For some reason, the others felt a little envious of her blissful ignorance.

Zhang Yuxi rubbed her stomach. "Um, I ate the leftover cake from lunch before you all came back. I'm not hungry right now."

She tried her best to control her expression to avoid hurting Third Treasure's feelings. Zhang Yuxi stood up to leave. "I'll eat later when I get hungry!"

Third Treasure looked at the four people who remained.

Lin Feng suggested, "Let's eat before it gets cold."

Everyone looked at Lin Feng, their meaning clear: he should try it first.

At a critical moment, none of these kids are any use! Lin Feng thought.

He comforted himself. It looks ugly, but maybe it tastes good? I can't be deceived by appearances.

After building up his courage, Lin Feng picked up a piece with his chopsticks and ate it. He didn't know what it was. It tasted vaguely like a mushroom, but not quite.

The quads watched him, curious about the taste.

If Second Treasure's cooking was barely palatable, this was truly disgusting. It was both bitter and sweet, like a traditional herbal medicine mixed with a ton of sugar...

Third Treasure asked excitedly, "Dad, how does it taste?"

Lin Feng forced it down. A sour and spicy flavor still lingered on his tongue. "Not bad."

"Really?" Third Treasure asked.

Lin Feng nodded. "Yeah, you guys eat too."

Fourth Treasure was the second to eat. He was initially put off by its appearance but regained his confidence after hearing Lin Feng's words. After one bite, his expression was a sight to behold.

Keep in mind, Fourth Treasure had eaten two full bowls of the barely acceptable meal *he himself* had cooked previously.

Seeing his reaction, Big Treasure instantly lost his appetite.

Third Treasure wasn't a fool; how could she not understand what his reaction meant? I made it, so I should set an example.

She took a bite but couldn't keep it down for even three seconds, spitting it out. "This is so gross..."

Fourth Treasure swallowed his mouthful. "It's okay! It's... challenging!"

His foodie nature was truly invincible.

Without a word, Third Treasure stood up and carried the clay pot away. "Let's not eat this. I'll cook something else for you."

Lin Feng sighed internally. Perhaps the quads really have no talent for cooking.

"Wait a moment, Daddy will cook," he said.

Lin Feng went to the kitchen to get busy, with the quads helping him.

Zhang Yuxi came over holding Little Treasure. "Honey, where's the baby's food?"

"In the thermal food jar."

It was a lean meat and bone broth porridge for Little Treasure, and it smelled delicious as soon as it was opened. Zhang Yuxi settled Little Treasure in her stroller and took out a toy to coax her into eating.

On Second Treasure's Weibo, many fans were already waiting for a post about tonight's dinner.

She uploaded a photo with the caption: "Maybe the four of us really have no talent for cooking!"

"That's some dark cuisine right there!"

"This might be the only thing we have in common with the study-gods!"

"Thinking that even the study-gods can't cook makes me feel a little better about myself!"

"Hahaha, the food doesn't matter, as long as everyone's happy!"

"The prettiest people making the darkest dishes. Impressive!"

Zhang Yuxi sighed. "Honey, maybe we shouldn't let the kids cook anymore. They obviously don't have a talent for it."

Lin Feng thought the same. "Let's wait and see. If they don't show any improvement, we'll just forget about it."

「Saturday night.」

Lin Feng was in the kitchen, supervising the quads as they cooked. This time, he couldn't let Fourth Treasure blow up the kitchen!

Fourth Treasure patted his chest. "Don't be so nervous. I just lacked experience last time. This time will be different. I definitely won't mess up."

Second Treasure said tactfully, "We're not nervous, we just want to help. It would be tiring for you to handle everything alone."

Fourth Treasure looked at them with a trusting face. "If you're not nervous, why are you all standing so far away just to help with a little prep work?"

The other four, who had almost retreated to the doorway, looked embarrassed.

But Fourth Treasure didn't mind. "You can all leave once the ingredients are ready. I can handle this myself."

His supreme confidence only made them more terrified. They didn't leave, but they did hide a little farther away.

Lin Feng watched from the side, constantly reminding him, "Turn the heat down a little... Wait a moment before putting that in... okay, now!"

And then...

The wok suddenly cracked in half!

Would you believe it actually happened? Everyone was stunned!

Fourth Treasure looked completely innocent. "I... I didn't do anything..."

They had all seen it. That was the scary part—he *hadn't* done anything. It was completely inexplicable.

In the end, Lin Feng and the others agreed it had to be something supernatural.

This trait was probably inherited from Zhao Lizhen.

Whenever Zhao Lizhen touched a clay pot, it was guaranteed to explode.

Then again, maybe this was just a freak accident...

Lin Feng pursed his lips. "Fourth Treasure, how about you try cooking one more time tomorrow? If this happens again, you should probably just stop cooking."

Fourth Treasure was speechless.

On Weibo, Second Treasure posted a picture and wrote about the bizarre incident. The comments section erupted with laughter.

"Haha, I can picture it so vividly, I can't stop laughing."

"It's true, personality can be inherited, and some skills—or lack thereof—can be too!"

"This absolutely made my day, hahaha!"
