Chapter 181 Salty and Sweet Perpetual Motion Machine
Today is Nan Yi's first day at kindergarten.
On such a grand day, Nanzhi naturally had to prepare a breakfast that was appropriate for the occasion.
She plans to cook porridge.
But it is not ordinary porridge, but boat porridge.
There are many styles of cooking boat porridge on the market, and Nanzhi's is relatively more complicated.
The porridge base was cooked the day before.
Put the japonica rice in a thick clay pot and bring it to a boil. Add chopped fish bones, pork bones, scallops, etc., wrap them in gauze and throw them into the pot. Simmer on low heat for a full half day until the rice grains are soft and rotten.
Remove the gauze and add fine salt. Only then is the porridge base considered ready.
The next day, Nanzhi got up early in the morning and put fresh fish slices, roast duck cubes, squid cubes and other ingredients at the bottom of the bowl.
The thick earthenware jar has excellent heat preservation properties, and the porridge base is still boiling hot.
Pour into a bowl and blanch the fish fillets with the temperature.
Finally, sprinkle with fried peanuts, fried dough sticks, green onions, ginger, and pepper for seasoning, etc.
The whole bowl of porridge, except for the roast duck which was bought from outside because there was no oven at home, all other side dishes including the fried dough sticks were fried by Nanzhi herself.
Nanzhi fried more dough sticks on purpose so that they can be eaten with porridge.
The fried dough sticks she made were golden, plump and crispy. They did not become soft even in the hot steam of the boat porridge and looked very delicious.
However, remembering that Yi Yi loved sweet food, Nanzhi suddenly decided to make an extra sugar cake.
The method is very simple, which is to fry it with hot dough and coat it with lard and sugar inside. It is small, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
Nanzhi picked up one and tasted it.
She was experienced, so she only took a small bite and waited for the steam to roll around for a while and then became less hot before she continued to eat carefully.
The lard and sugar had already melted into a paste and flowed out, almost scalding the southern branch.
But the taste is still excellent, the crispy outer shell and the soft inner part are just the perfect ratio, the filling is sweet but not greasy, and because it is very small, people want to eat a second one after eating one.
Even someone like Nanzhi, who doesn't like sweet food very much, ate three cakes in a row before stopping.
"Gudong."
It's the sound of swallowing saliva.
Wait, she didn't swallow her saliva...
"all!"
Nanzhi turned around and saw Nanyi squatting outside the kitchen door like a little puppy, looking at her eagerly.
He was probably half asleep when he was attracted by the smell of porridge and woke up in a daze.
She wasn't even wearing any clothes, just a small vest and shorts for sleeping.
His hair was messy as if it had been chewed by a dog.
He looked so pitiful and funny that even Nanzhi laughed.
"Go change your clothes and come have breakfast."
She waved her hand, signaling Nan Yi to hurry up.
Nan Yi, however, did not move.
His eyes were fixed on the cake behind Nanzhi.
Sure enough, sweets are very attractive to children!
But Nanzhi did not give in:
"You have to wash first."
Nan Yi knew that his mother had always been strict in this regard, and he couldn't get away with it by just acting coquettishly.
Helpless, I could only stand up reluctantly, leave the kitchen and go to the bathroom.
After a while, Nanzhi heard the sound of him washing hurriedly.
It's like pressing the multiplier key.
In the blink of an eye, he was completely refreshed and was sitting obediently at the table waiting for his mother to feed him.
Nanzhi brought the boat porridge first.
Nan Yi, who was not very interested at first, sniffed and his eyes were attracted by the boat porridge in front of him.
This was the first time he had seen porridge with such rich ingredients, and he was a little surprised:
"What kind of porridge is this?"
"Boat porridge."
Nanzhi's answer made Nanyi confused.
His tongue was tied:
"Hall...boy?"
"It's called tingzai, which means a small boat in Cantonese. Dingzai porridge is the porridge sold on a small boat."
Nanzhi said as she brought the cake over.
Nan Yi's eyes were immediately attracted by the cake, and he didn't even listen carefully to Nan Zhi's explanation.
Nanzhi found it funny and stuffed chopsticks into his hand, reminding him:
"Eat slowly, don't burn yourself."
The southern Italian nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
But thinking and doing are two different things.
No matter how careful Nan Yi was, the tip of his tongue was still burned by the scalding hot sugar filling.
"Huff huff!"
Nan Yi's face was twisted into a knot!
Nan Zhi took the cake away and said:
"Let it cool down before eating. Drink the porridge first."
Nan Yi puffed up her face somewhat unhappily.
But this expression quickly disappeared after he tasted the boat porridge...
The bowl that Nanzhi used was bigger than Nanyi's face, and he almost buried his head in it!
The porridge was cooked soft, the fish slices were just the right amount of tender, the squid was chewy and delicious, and the fried dough sticks were crispy yet soft...
This bowl of porridge is full of different flavors, which is completely different from the ordinary simple white porridge!
Nanzhi took a tissue and wiped off the rice grains stuck on Nanyi's nose:
"Is it delicious?"
Nan Yi didn't even have time to say anything, he just kept nodding.
After the cake had cooled down a bit, Nanzhi picked up a piece for Nanyi.
Take a sip of boat porridge and a bite of sugar cake.
A salty and sweet perpetual motion machine, delicious as hell!
It seems that this breakfast is really effective.
Even all the way to the kindergarten, Nan Yi was happy and jumping around.
It was not until he stood at the entrance of the kindergarten that his smile faded a little and he slowly began to feel fear.
He was at the entrance of the kindergarten, reluctant to take that step, and had no choice but to look to his mother for help...
"Waaaaaah!"
A thunderous howl broke out nearby!
Nanzhi and Nanyi turned their heads in unison and saw a chubby little boy crying loudly.
There were four adults surrounding him, probably the elders of his family, and they all came forward to persuade the little ancestor to stop crying.
The little boy continued to babble as if he hadn't heard anything:
"I don't want to go to school! I don't want to go to school! Waaaaaah!"
The movement attracted a lot of people's attention.
The little boy who was throwing a tantrum didn't feel ashamed at all.
Anyway, the only ones who are embarrassed are his elders.
Nan Yi: ...
"Okay mom, I will go to school obediently!"
Nan Yi quickly suppressed his grievance. He never wanted to be like that little fat boy, being watched by people like a monkey in the zoo!
It was too embarrassing!
Nanzhi also vaguely guessed the truth behind Nanyi's change of attitude, and even felt a little grateful to the crying little fat warrior...
"Well, put on your schoolbag and wait for your mother to pick you up after school."
Nanzhi was afraid that Nanyi would go back on his word, so she quickly waved goodbye to him.
Nan Yi tugged at the strap of his schoolbag and happened to pass by the crying little fat boy.
A faint fragrance wafted out of his schoolbag and was just smelled by the fat boy.
The little fat boy suddenly stopped crying, turned over and got up, and chased after Nan Yi:
"Wait for me!"
Nan Yi was puzzled by the suspension.
Nanzhi, who had not left yet, hurried over.
As a result, the fat boy changed from crying to laughing in a second, and it was the kind of flattering, servile and fawning laugh.
Refer to the "Foodie Dictionary" Chapter 182 Rumors before filming
"Hello, classmate. My name is Dong Dongdong. Are you new here? Can I be your friend?"
The fat boy's familiarity is very confusing.
Nan Yi frowned.
Nanzhi saw that the child had no ill intentions and slowed down his pace.
Only the family of the little fat boy named Dong Dongdong seemed to see through their child's tricks, and immediately showed expressions of embarrassment as if they wanted to find a hole to crawl into.
really.
The next second, Dong Dongdong met Nan Yi's confused gaze and put forward his real request with a smile:
"Since we're friends, can you give me some of the food in your schoolbag? Just a little bit, really just a little bit!"
As he spoke, he sniffed hard, his chubby face full of intoxication,
"Sweet and fragrant smell!"
Nan Yi's little mouth suddenly tightened!
Nanzhi was even more surprised.
Nanzhi didn't finish the fried sugar cakes she had made in the morning, so she packed up the rest and put them in an insulated lunch box and asked Nanyi to take it to kindergarten.
I didn't expect that this little guy named Dong Dongdong has such a good sense of smell that he can smell even the slightest smell!
"don't want."
Nan Yi looked cool and stinky, and directly rejected the other party's request!
Nan Zhi touched his nose, walked up to Nan Yi, and nodded to the family members behind the lost Dong Dongdong:
"Sorry, I fried the sugar cake myself, and the child cherishes it more."
But he did not force Nan Yi to share the cake.
She just wanted to ease the atmosphere and not make it awkward on her first day at kindergarten.
Fortunately, the other parent was not unreasonable.
They apologized profusely:
"No, it's our child who is too greedy. I'm really sorry."
Having said that, he quickly reached out and pulled Dong Dongdong, who was looking at him eagerly, away.
Dong Dongdong did not forget to look back and look forward:
"Candy cake..."
"stupid."
Nan Yi's expression became even uglier!
Nan Zhi touched his head:
"Okay, don't be unhappy."
Nan Yi curled his lips downward:
"Mom, am I going to be a classmate of such an idiot from now on?"
Nanzhi: "…"
She wanted to give him some advice.
Before he could speak, Nan Yi sighed deeply:
"Okay, I understand."
He waved helplessly to Nanzhi and walked towards the kindergarten with heavy steps.
Nanzhi stood at the door again and watched for a while.
Until Nan Yi's little figure was completely submerged among the children entering the park.
Since returning from the other world, she has been inseparable from Nan Yi almost every day.
Being apart for a few hours occasionally is very different from being apart for most of the day every day from now on.
It wasn't as easy as I had imagined, and I felt a little disappointed instead.
But Nanzhi knew.
Letting go is a compulsory course for every parent.
So she quickly adjusted her mood, turned around and walked to the side of the road.
Instead of taking a taxi home, he walked to a silver-gray Porsche and knocked on the back seat window.
After about 10 seconds, the car window rolled down, revealing Lu Shixu's face.
A look of annoyance flashed across his eyes.
But it was soon covered up by his pretended calmness.
"What a coincidence."
He said.
Nanzhi glanced at him with a half-smile:
"Is it a coincidence?"
By chance, I arrived at the kindergarten gate earlier than them?
Lu Shixu probably felt that the excuse was lame, so he shut his mouth and stopped talking.
There was no promise like "I won't do it again in the future".
Nanzhi understood very well and knew what he was thinking.
I was too lazy to argue with her since she wasn't angry anyway.
"Thank you for the Nanyi Kindergarten matter."
Nanzhi's tone was very good.
It is no longer like before, always carrying thorns, and Lu Shixu would be unhappy if it didn't prick him.
This surprised Lu Shixu and made him flattered.
He was stunned for several seconds.
Then he said:
"Why don't we have lunch at noon..."
It's still the same Lu Shixu who keeps pushing for more.
Nanzhi resisted the urge to roll her eyes.
"It's getting late. I need to go home."
Nanzhi seemed not to hear what Lu Shixu said.
She said this, walked around Lu Shixu's car, and took a taxi away.
After getting in the car, he quickly forgot about Lu Shixu and started thinking about learning to drive.
To pick up Yi Yi from school, it is inconvenient to always take a taxi or trouble Xu Li.
As for the agency sending cars and drivers...
Given Nanzhi's current fame, it shouldn't be difficult.
The problem is that Nanzhi and Xu Li jointly turned down all the announcements arranged by the agency, and fell into a cold war stalemate with the company.
Not to mention a car and a driver, even the assistant that newly signed young artists have was not arranged for Nanzhi.
Fortunately, Nanzhi is used to doing everything by herself.
She didn't take the agency's so-called means of blackmailing her seriously at all.
As soon as she got home, she immediately searched for a driving school near her home, paid the fee and registered online, and deliberately chose the more expensive accelerated channel.
So in the following period of time, Nanzhi spent most of his time doing practice questions and going to the driving school to practice driving.
At this rate, I will probably get my driver's license by next month.
But before that, they welcomed the start of the third episode of "Cub Observation Diary"!
Speaking of which, during the half-month break, things were not peaceful for all parties.
First, there was a rumor that there would be flying guests in this episode—
Fans of each big-name idol are looking forward to seeing their idols taking care of their babies, and they have flocked to the official Weibo account of the variety show to recommend themselves, and major marketing accounts and melon owners have also come out to reveal the news.
Bystanders were not surprised to see this heated scene. After all, the popularity of "Young Cubs" is there, and everyone wants to get in on the action. It would be strange if they didn't.
The only ones who were hurt were the loyal viewers of "Young Cubs". After experiencing the last episode of Nan's Restaurant, they had become accustomed to the tacit cooperation of the Nanzhi quartet. They felt awkward when there was one more person, no matter what top star or superstar he was!
But at this time, the news broke that Fu Chao might withdraw from the filming!
Not to mention the audience, even the small group of four people including Nanzhi were in an uproar...
Well, the main one who was blown away was Qi Pei'er.
She Fu Chao in the group and asked him if it was true.
But Fu Chao has not responded yet, as if it is a tacit agreement.
Qi Peier was so angry that she threatened to kick him out of the group!
Of course, she didn't kick him out in the end.
Qi Pei'er has always been tough on the outside but soft on the inside.
In the midst of this storm, the third episode of filming officially arrived!
It was still the meeting and ID card drawing before the filming.
Nanzhi suspended her driving school studies.
As for Nanyi Kindergarten, the arrangement had already been made before enrollment.
Having had two experiences already, they skillfully packed their simple luggage and traveled light. Xu Li drove them to the hotel where the program crew was gathering.
"Why did you ask everyone to gather at the hotel? This hotel is near the airport? Are we going to shoot in other cities this time?"
As soon as Qi Pei'er arrived, she expressed the doubts of all the guests.
Director Xu Lin was not surprised that the purpose was guessed so quickly, and he still kept it a secret, saying,
"Don't worry, wait until everyone is here."
Chapter 183 Flying guest Chang Mu
Qi Pei'er's curiosity is the curiosity of all the audience!
10 minutes ago, the live broadcast officially started.
Even at 8 o'clock in the morning on a weekday, there are still countless viewers waiting in advance.
As the current undisputed hit variety show, every move of "Young Cubs" has become a hot search topic.
The live broadcast preview was released last night.
So, starting from last night, the topics #幼仔新的朋友# and #傅朝下车# have been high on the hot searches, with countless netizens actually participating in the discussion.
By this morning, the ranking of related hot searches had jumped several places!
Everyone including the guests are waiting for the answer to be revealed!
The audience also clamored in the barrage:
[I have a relative who is a staff member of the program, and I heard that the flying guests are real. ]
[It must be true! Didn't you see that the top streaming companies have already hyped it up? ]
[Ahhh, I'm so annoyed. I don't want to see new people joining! ]
[Sure enough, the show is so popular that all kinds of people come to watch it, haha. ]
[I had hoped that they would be able to unite and act like they did in the last episode, but now it seems that I have to give up.]
[I agree! This way I can still jump around and watch the live broadcast room, and I won't be annoyed by the newcomers! ]
[So is Fu Chao coming or not? ]
…
Nanzhi and others standing in front of the camera were much calmer than the audience.
After going through the adjustment period of opening a store last time, as well as the usual funny chats in the group, half a month of separation did not distance them from each other. Instead, there was a joy of reunion after a long separation!
Of course, the one who was happy was still Qi Pei'er. She was the happy puppy jumping up and down, constantly circling around Nanzhi and telling her about the interesting things that happened while recording songs these days.
"My new album and concert are in preparation! I will send you invitations when the time comes, you must come!"
Qi Pei'er yelled deliberately.
But Nanzhi saw through her bluff and the nervousness beneath her enthusiastic surface.
So you're still worried that they won't go?
Nanzhi couldn't help but smile.
"Of course I will."
She answered without hesitation.
Xie Yu, who was relatively quiet, heard this and nodded lightly.
Qi Pei'er was so happy all of a sudden!
"Great! All the little ones are coming! Why are you looking at me? Auntie is talking about you!"
Nan Yi quietly squeezed back to his mother's side, passed Qi Pei'er and became the one closest to Nanzhi.
Then he nodded obediently:
"If mom goes, I'll go...but what is the concert?"
"fool!"
Qi Zhang came over and explained loudly,
"It's a place where everyone can sing together!"
Xie Anan exclaimed, and couldn't help asking:
"Can I sing 'Little Frog' then?"
"Little Frog" is her favorite children's song.
Qi Zhang nodded readily:
"sure!"
Xie Anan cheered and clapped with joy.
Nan Yi was not interested in their singing, but he said to Nan Zhi:
"Then mom can sing too!"
He looks very expectant.
Nanzhi: ...
"Well, we can sing. But Xiao Zhang misunderstood. The concert is for us to listen to your aunt sing."
Qi Zhang was confused:
"Why do I want to listen to my aunt sing?"
With a confused look on her face, she seemed to be asking, "Is there anything worth listening to in my aunt's singing?"
Qi Pei'er smiled sinisterly and raised her hand to pinch Qi Zhang's ear:
"I have tolerated you for a long time. Doesn't your aunt sing well?"
Qi Zhang grimaced in pain but still insisted:
"My aunt screams and howls in the bathroom every day... mmmmmm!"
Qi Pei'er, whose past was exposed, quickly reached out and covered Qi Zhang's mouth!
Unfortunately, he had heard everything he should have heard.
Even the staff behind the camera couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Even the topic of the audience in the live broadcast room shifted, no longer discussing the flying guests and Fu Chao, but curiously:
[When did their relationship become so good? ]
[It has always been good. I thought you saw it when I opened Nanjia Restaurant last time! ]
[That's different! The store opening might have been an act, but what's shown here is definitely real! ]
【Ahhh Xiao Qi, you are going to have a concert! 】
【As a fan, I actually heard this on a live variety show. Xiao Qi is really amazing! 】
[Qi Pei Er really likes Nan Zhi hahaha, they have a great atmosphere! ]
[Wait, they seemed to mention something about a "group", do the four of them have a group? ]
[Wow, I'm really touched. It's great that we didn't lose contact after the show like other people did! ]
…
When Chang Mu arrived, he was faced with a group of people who were all having fun together.
The atmosphere was so tense that it seemed like no one else could get involved!
Chang Mu gritted his teeth in displeasure, his eyes fixed on Nan Zhi who was being adored by everyone.
She is very beautiful, much more beautiful than she looks on TV.
Her head was slightly tilted, and her long hair was as thick as black clouds, with every strand of hair shining.
The bone structure is smooth and full, and the skin is beautiful to match.
The skin is as delicate as cream and so bright that it seems to be translucent.
She pursed her lips and smiled, like a solitary orchid in a valley, like mist in the mountains.
It is a kind of cool and ethereal beauty.
Just standing there, every move is a scene.
...Completely different from when she was in that body!
Chang Mu suddenly felt a little regretful about leaving that body.
Now it seems that this body is beautiful, but it is still far inferior to the natural beauty like Nanzhi.
What's more, Nanzhi's real identity is the beloved daughter of Qingqing Fu Yunfeng!
Whether it was the Qing family or the Fu family, one of them could beat the Chang family hundreds of times!
Jealousy gnawed at Chang Mu's heart like a poisonous snake, causing her expression to twist uncontrollably.
Until the assistant beside her reminded her:
"Miss, we should go over there."
Chang Mu came back to his senses.
She snorted, trying to suppress the harshness on her face, and put on her usual gentle mask.
She didn't know if the original owner of this body also liked to pretend, but Chang Mu's disguise was very skillful, much more skillful than her own, as if it was the muscle memory formed spontaneously by the body!
Even though she is not very good at acting, she still exudes some natural talent!
"Oh! Our flying guest has arrived!"
As Xu Lin spoke, everyone's eyes turned to him, including the camera!
Chang Mu straightened his back even more and walked in with a smile:
"Hello everyone, I'm Chang Mu, a blogger and this issue's life experience officer!"
Everyone present looked a little unfamiliar.
The comments in the live broadcast room were all over the place:
[? So she's not a celebrity?]
[Aren't bloggers more popular than celebrities? ]
[But she didn't bring her children with her. Is her positioning different from other guests? ]
[She said she was a life experience officer, what is that? ]
[Wow! I know this blogger! He has a lot of fans on Xiaohongshu! ]
[Ahhh, I remember now. Isn't this the famous rich girl? ]
… Chapter 184 A daughter of a noble family?
Soon Chang Mu's identity was revealed—
The eldest daughter of Chang Group and the famous blogger of Little Red Potato.
Her most popular video is the one in which she shares her dressing room, which takes up an entire floor and is filled with all kinds of haute couture dresses, luxury bags, and antique jewelry.
However, in the video, Chang Mu did not show off, but described the origin of each item in a very normal tone.
She is eloquent and well-informed. She can describe the design concept of every item, even as small as a brooch, and describe its beauty with poetic words.
Moreover, she has an open-minded attitude towards all things, believing that she is only temporarily in possession of their beauty and not their owner.
So when people watch the video, they don't think she is showing off, but rather that she truly loves her collection, so it's hard for them to dislike her.
Netizens felt that this was the kind of elegant daughter who came from a famous family!
Later, someone found out that she graduated from the RCA (Royal College of Art) with a master's degree, and had excellent grades and won many awards during her time at school. She was not the kind of rich second generation who was empty-headed and only knew how to spend money!
The public has a better impression of her, and the image of Chang Group in everyone's eyes has also improved!
The same is true at this time.
The audience who originally cursed and swore were no longer as aggressive as they were at the beginning after learning about Chang Mu's identity and the layers of halo around her.
[I know her! I've watched that dressing room video many times! I didn't expect that she's even prettier in person than in the video! ]
[In the video, many people dissed her for using a beauty filter, but she actually made herself look ugly! She doesn't lose at all when standing next to Nanzhi! ]
[Isn't it a bit too much to say that she is not inferior to Nanzhi? It's not right to praise her like that…]
[But why did she come to participate in a variety show? ]
[What a coincidence, I am her fan. A few days ago, I saw her video chatting about a friend investing in a variety show and inviting her to participate. She was still worried at the time, thinking that she was not good at variety shows, but it was difficult to refuse a friend's invitation... Could she be talking about this incident? ]
[It seems that those who criticize the young lady should stop now. She was invited by the investor. Not to mention the guests, even the director and others have to praise her! ]
[I think she is very low-key and a nice person.]
…
Nanzhi and the others knew a few days in advance that there would be a guest guest in this episode.
They were not surprised.
After being in the entertainment industry for a long time, it is not uncommon for investors to fill in the gaps or replace people at short notice.
They had no ill will towards the newcomer, they just greeted each other and exchanged names in a normal manner.
The atmosphere was a little cold for a moment.
Xu Lin and others behind the camera seemed not to notice and did not come out to smooth things over.
Chang Mu resisted the urge to lose his temper, and completely immersed himself in the role of "gentle, beautiful and wealthy daughter", targeting the three cubs.
Chang Mu had watched the previous shows briefly and knew that Xie Anan should be the one with the best temper and the most approachable.
She took the initiative to half-kneel down in front of Xie Anan:
"Hello, little princess, can I be your friend?"
Xie Anan blinked in confusion:
"Hello, Auntie."
Chang Mu: ...
Fortunately, she was mentally prepared and made a joke to brush the matter aside.
As expected, the audience thought that she had a good temper and did not get angry because of it.
However, Chang Mu's plan to use Xie Anan to infiltrate the children failed.
Xie Anan was not attracted to her at all. No matter how Chang Mu praised her, Xie Anan just nodded shyly and said thank you, and then wanted to get closer to Nanzhi.
—Because I felt that the new aunt was a little weird, I wanted to get closer to someone who could give her a sense of security.
Xie Yu: ? ?
Chang Mu was not in a good mood.
Given her temper, it was almost a miracle that she could endure it for so long.
But there are so many cameras pointing at her, she can't help it but has to endure it.
Chang Mu looked past the crowd and glanced at the assistant next to the staff member.
The other party understood and made an OK gesture to her.
This means that the audience in the live broadcast room have a good opinion of her.
This is the reason why Chang Mu brought an assistant with him on this trip.
She breathed a sigh of relief.
I feel like all this tinkering has not been in vain.
The agreed gathering time was almost over.
Just when the audience thought Fu Chao would not come, the black nanny car stopped in front of the hotel. As soon as the door opened, Fu Chao hurriedly jumped out:
"Sorry sorry! I'm late!"
He grabbed his backpack and ran, completely forgetting what he had left behind.
Qingxi was so angry that he jumped up and down:
"Uncle! You left me behind!"
Fu Chao was stunned, then quickly ran back to rescue the person.
He conveniently tucked Qingxi under his arm and rushed into the camera range in two steps, without even having time to put on a microphone or other equipment.
"Sorry, something delayed me on the way."
Qingxi, who was still tucked under his arm, exposed him mercilessly:
"It's obviously you who got up late! I called you three times!"
Fu Chao skillfully covered Qingxi's mouth and put him on the ground:
"Be good and keep quiet. Uncle will give you some candy."
Qingxi calmed down.
Fu Chao turned around and found that everyone was looking at him:
"Didn't I wash my face?"
He raised his hand and touched his face to make sure there was nothing else on it.
Qi Pei'er really wanted to ask him about the group message, but when she thought of the camera, she suppressed her thought.
It was Fu Chao himself who realized it first:
"I've been too busy lately, I really didn't mean to ignore the message!"
These days he has been helping to investigate Lin Xiang's affairs and has been so busy that he has put off a lot of work.
The rumor of getting off the "Cub" observation diary came from here.
The truth is, Fu Chao did briefly consider leaving the show and focusing on finding his sister.
But in the end he couldn't bear to do it.
Among all the teams he has worked with, the one that made him feel the happiest is "Cubs".
And Qingxi looked at him eagerly every day. As an uncle, he couldn't let the child down, right?
In addition, his parents told him that his staying didn't really matter that much...
Finally, Fu Chao happily decided -
Keep shooting!
[The way Fu Chao apologized was exactly the same as the way I begged for forgiveness from my friends after being late for a party! ]
[It shows that they have a really good relationship! ]
[Haha, Qingxi has decisively abandoned his uncle and gone to play with his friends. ]
[Very good, adults and children have their own small groups! ]
[Hmm? So Qingxi and Nanyi went to the same kindergarten? ]
…
The audience discussed the event with great interest, and even wanted to use a magnifying glass to watch the scene where the kids were sharing candies.
But he inadvertently overlooked the presence of another person...
Chang Mu could hardly laugh.
Her eyes fell on Fu Chao, dark and sinister. Chapter 185 The third episode begins recording!
Just as the guests and audience had guessed.
The reason why the program crew chose a hotel near the airport as the gathering place is because their next filming location is not in Yanjing, but they have to take a group flight to Gui Province, which is 3 hours away.
Only after crossing layers of mountains can they reach their destination -
A small village in a remote mountainous area.
[Oh my god, the production team is really going big. I know the area they went to, it's really poor, one of the poorest in the country!]
[I complained before that Nanzhi was like a cheat in the last episode, and everyone was so excited that they didn't feel the hardship of life at all... I didn't expect the production team to do something so awesome this time, haha! ]
【Love to watch, love to watch, Modo Modo! 】
[I'm curious if everyone can stick with it. The conditions here are definitely much worse than the shantytowns where we lived in the first phase of Nanzhi! ]
[Well, I suddenly remembered that Nanzhi relied on her cooking skills to make a living in the first two episodes. This time, she is going to the poor mountainous area, but there are not so many diners spending money on her. What should she do? ]
[You are only worried about Nanzhi and not others, right? Why is she the only one filming this show? ]
[I am more curious whether the daughter of a famous family can persist...]
[Hey! It's time for the much-anticipated lottery draw again! ]
…
Airport VIP lounge.
There was still some time before boarding, and Xu Lin took advantage of this time to announce that everyone would draw lots to decide their identities in the next mission.
The four guests, including Nanzhi, sent their children to draw identity cards.
Xu Lin did not forget to remind:
"Everyone, just look at the ID card and figure it out for yourself. We'll reveal the answer when we get there!"
When Nanzhi heard this, he deliberately avoided the camera and turned his ID card over.
After seeing the contents of the ID card, she hummed softly, and it was hard to tell whether her expression was joy or something else.
Nan Yi, who was lying on her knees, also stretched his neck to look:
"Mom, what is this?"
He was very well behaved and remembered Director Xu Lin's reminder so he didn't read it out loud in front of the audience in the live broadcast room.
But even if he read it out loud, he would have no idea about this identity.
He knew the last two words, but what did the first two words mean?
"Very good, we are very good."
Nanzhi has never been stingy with praise.
Qi Pei'er, who was sitting next to her, became curious and came over:
"Zhizhi, can I see yours?"
"certainly."
The southern branch showed it out generously.
After Qi Pei'er saw it clearly, she frowned and hummed.
"Is this... good or bad?"
"fine."
At least that's what Nanzhi thinks.
Qi Pei'er scratched her face and shared the identity card she drew with Nanzhi.
Soon after, Fu Chao and Xie Yu also came over to communicate—
"You look good."
"Not necessarily. It might be very hard."
"Does mine look the best?"
"…"
They all remembered what Xu Lin said about "keeping it confidential", so their communication was mysterious.
Live audience: …
【Ahhh! Is there anything that I, a distinguished VIP, cannot listen to! 】
[Damn Xiao Xu, why not reveal it earlier! You just keep us on suspense! ]
[I'm so curious, let me see it too! ]
[What on earth do they mean? Why don't I understand a single word? ]
[Um, don't you think that when they talk together, they kind of exclude the new guest? ]
[What era are we in? Are we still doing this kind of thing of group exclusion? Is it interesting? ]
…
Some people really think too much.
It's not that Nanzhi and the others are excluding Chang Mu, it's just that they are simply not familiar with each other.
It was Nanzhi again. She looked past the people surrounding her and looked at Chang Mu, who was sitting outside the crowd and was still elegant and flawless.
"Didn't Miss Chang draw her ID card?"
Chang Mu smiled and explained:
"I'm a life experience officer, I don't need to draw an ID card."
She explained the "Life Experience Officer" that had aroused everyone's curiosity from the very beginning.
It turns out that this episode was a collaboration with a charity foundation.
And Chang Mu happens to be the director of this charitable foundation.
So this time she came on behalf of the foundation to experience local life and facilitate the foundation's subsequent poverty alleviation and relief activities in the local area.
If I have to say, [Foundation Representative] and [Experience Life] are her identities and missions.
As he said this, Chang Mu winked playfully:
"Don't worry, I've been here before and I'm familiar with everyone. If you don't adapt, you can follow me!"
Nanzhi and others nodded politely.
As for whether they agreed or not, only they themselves know.
[Why do I feel that what this young lady said is quite subtle? It seems that a group of celebrities are more delicate and can't endure hardships than her, a daughter of a wealthy family, right…]
[Can some people stop imagining things? The eldest lady is beautiful and kind-hearted. As a director of a charity foundation, she also goes deep into the mountainous areas to participate in poverty alleviation work. She is really excellent, okay? ]
[Wow, I really have no resistance to this kind and gentle beauty. Compared to her, the other guests are just...]
[Refuse to drag others down! If you drag others down again, I will beat you up! ]
[Just the good deeds done by the eldest lady are definitely a filter for me! As long as she does not violate the law, I will support her forever! ]
[Aren't the guests there yet? Don't make assumptions, we are all kind people! ]
[This episode is so meaningful! Kudos to the production team! ]
…
It will soon be time to board the flight.
As they walked out of the departure lounge and through the airport lobby, they met many people who recognized them.
The most popular one is naturally Fu Chao, the top-tier actor who has been famous for many years.
The second one is Nanzhi.
Even looking around, the number of people who asked Nanzhi for photos and autographs was not less than Fu Chao!
"Woo woo sister, you are so beautiful! I love your cooking so much!"
"Boss Nan, I've been to your restaurant! I hope you can open another one someday!"
"Wow, baby, you're so cute!"
"Everyone, please don't push us, don't hurt our kids!"
"…"
Nan Yi, who was originally a little impatient because of the surging crowd, was caught off guard by being called "baby" and "cub", and his expression was a little confused.
He saw the eyes of the people around him filled with genuine joy and kindness, and he actually felt a little bit at a loss.
In the end, he could only cling tightly to his mother and bury his little face in her clothes.
"Ah! Yi Yi is shy! "
Nan Yi's back stiffened and he quickly hid his reddened earlobes.
Nanzhi hugged him with a faint smile.
We finally arrived at the boarding gate amidst the crowds and everyone quickly boarded the plane.
Relying on advertising sponsorship from multiple parties, the program crew, which has already turned around its destiny and upgraded its equipment, booked the entire first-class cabin, and half of the cabin in the back was also occupied by the program crew's staff.
Only in this way can one feel at peace. Chapter 186 An ungrateful person who can never be tamed?
Chang Mu sat in the first row by the window, with her assistant on her left.
Nanzhi and Nanyi mother and son sat diagonally behind her.
The first-class cabin was not big, and I could vaguely hear the conversation between the mother and son.
"Yi Yi, do you want some cake?"
"want."
"Eat some more fruit. You need a balanced diet."
"Okay, mom."
"Won't my Yi Yi refuse? Whatever mom says is fine?"
"Of course, mom will only be nice to me."
"…"
With the help of his assistant to block the view and the live broadcast equipment temporarily shut down during the flight, Chang Mu finally didn't have to continue acting and his expression quickly cooled down.
Her right hand was tightly clasped on the armrest of the chair, her sharp nails almost scratching the soft leather of the armrest.
She was an unmarried, childless young girl who was transported into the body of an unmarried mother. She was inexplicably burdened with the responsibility of raising a child and raised that burden for four full years!
What was the result?
Not only did he not show any gratitude to her, but he often stared at her with hatred and vigilance!
Yes, she had a bad temper and was a little irritable. She would occasionally ignore him or even hit him.
But every time she beat him, wasn't it because he was disobedient first?
A good son is born under the stick!
She beat him to educate him! It was for his own good!
Besides, which adult doesn't beat their children?
Isn't the hardship of raising a child enough to outweigh all this?
Now, how long has she been away from that body, and Nan Yi has forgotten everything! She has
been acting like a spoiled brat in front of Nan Zhi all day, and even said things like "Mom is the best"...
Nanzhi had only raised him for two months!
She had raised him for four years before that!
Sure enough, she is a born bad seed! An
ungrateful wolf!
And those blind people, it's ok to surround Fu Chao, but what about surrounding Nanzhi?
Shouldn't such an unmarried mother be despised and criticized?
Even such a person is a fan, but she is left aside.
What a tasteless paper man!
Brainless tool NPC!
...Chang Mu cursed in his heart, but instead of feeling relieved, he felt even more aggrieved!
At this time, the system that had been silent for a long time finally came online:
[Host, please remember your mission for this trip! ]
Chang Mu's anger was suppressed for a few seconds, and he replied impatiently in his heart:
"I know, I know."
How could she not know?
Previously, the system asked her to overdraw points and exchange them for some nightmare editor to target Nan Yi.
As a result, after using it for a while, there was no effect at all!
Looking at Nan Yi's face, which was as white and tender as an egg, and she didn't seem to be troubled by nightmares at all, you can tell that her points were wasted.
He wanted to use the nightmare editor against Nanzhi, which could be considered a small revenge, but for some reason, the [Failed to use] error appeared repeatedly, making Chang Mu upset.
But the system had previously given her a task to maintain the plot line and ensure that Nan Yi would become a villain...
In desperation, Chang Mu had to go into battle himself.
Otherwise, she wouldn't want to come to some crappy mountain area to experience life!
'System, what should I do next?'
Chang Mu asked in his heart a little irritably.
The system sounds cold:
【You'll know when the time comes.】
-Long
flights are boring.
At the beginning, the cubs were in the mood to laugh, play and chatter.
Slowly, they calmed down and fell asleep one after another.
Southern Italy is an exception.
He was reading a book.
Nanzhi, who was sitting next to him, was also reading a book.
Because there was no dictionary at hand, Nan Yi would quietly ask her mother when she came across words she didn't know.
And Nanzhi can usually give him the most perfect answer.
—The mother and son have a harmonious aura, as if they have formed a quiet corner of their own.
Time passes by unknowingly.
After the plane arrived, they immediately got on the bus chartered by the program crew and headed along the silver-gray highway into the mountains.
At first, everyone was interested in looking at the green scenery passing by on both sides, but later they began to feel bored. Later, someone simply suggested playing UNO in the car.
Nanzhi was invited to participate.
She said she had never played it before, so Fu Chao excitedly shouted that he would teach her.
The others were also very excited. They probably all wanted to see Boss Nan, who always seemed to have a winning streak, lose.
Then-
At the beginning, Nanzhi was very low-key and kept a low profile, making people ignore her unconsciously.
Not long after, they found out, huh? Why did Nanzhi win again?
At first I thought it was beginner's luck.
Soon they discovered that it was not the newbies who had good luck, but Nanzhi who was smart and had the fastest reaction, which was why he was able to beat them time and time again!
Hoping that she would lose is the biggest misunderstanding of Nanzhi's intelligence!
On the other hand, Chang Mu, who also participated in the card game, lost several games in a row, and his face was covered with white paper strips.
Someone tried to smooth things over by joking:
"It's probably because Miss Chang is not good at playing cards."
Chang Mu could only make a few self-deprecating remarks to show her open-mindedness and indifference.
Not long after, this clip was recorded by a camera and played as a behind-the-scenes footage.
The audience was watching with great interest:
[Is this really Nanzhi's first time playing? I really can't tell, it's amazing! ]
[As a recognized UNO master in my circle of friends, I want to kneel down to Nanzhi! She is really amazing! ]
[UNO newbies are impressed by this. If you have time, please make a tutorial for beginners! ]
[Why do I feel like Nanzhi is pretending not to know how to play? Look at the young lady, she also lost many times in her first try.]
[Is it possible that top students who graduated from Yanda University in Nanzhi are naturally good at math and have high IQ? ]
[Are you saying that Missy is not as good as Nanzhi? RCA is not worse than Yanda, right? ]
[That's because Miss is not smart enough. ]
[Can you please stop being sarcastic? Everyone has something they are good at. Why don't you mention that the eldest lady has been doing charity work for many years? ]
…
The audience's argument between Nanzhi and Changmu first started because of a plate of UNO.
The public always has a filter for rich people with noble character.
As soon as Chang Mu appears, he brings with him the aura of money and charity.
Those who originally wanted to say something bad about her, when they thought about the fact that she donates money to the mountainous areas every day and actually goes to the local areas, they couldn't bring themselves to say anything bad.
In addition, not everyone likes Nanzhi. After such a long live broadcast, there will always be people who are unhappy and resistant to Nanzhi.
Now that they can use Chang Mu's name to make use of the topic, they are so happy!
Fortunately, for now, the majority of people still have a positive impression of Nanzhi.
This small incident did not cause much impact on the Internet and disappeared without a trace.
At the same time, after a long journey, the program crew finally arrived at their destination—
A village called Cuishui Village.
It was already nightfall.
The whole village was immersed in the inky black night. There were two or three lights faintly visible, but they could not even illuminate the road.
Suddenly, it makes people feel uneasy.
I'm a bit stuck, and I'm still sorting out the outline...
Uno is a board game, it's quite interesting. Chapter 187: Miserable and Funny
After a whole day of traveling, all three meals were solved by boxed lunches.
At this time, adults, children, and guests on the show were all tired and hungry.
Who knows that it will rain all night long?
Because the bus was too big, it couldn't go in when it reached the village entrance.
So everyone got out of the car, dragging their luggage and equipment, and prepared to walk into the village.
After walking for a while, the surroundings were still quiet.
Someone asked Xu Lin:
"Why don't we see anyone from the village coming to pick us up? Could we have come to the wrong place?"
The crowd was already quiet, and one could almost hear everyone breathing heavily.
As soon as these words were spoken, the place fell into silence.
Being stared at by several pairs of eyes, Xu Lin managed to remain calm and answered,
"I have contacted them in advance, there is no mistake, they must have been delayed on the way."
It was obvious that everyone did not have much trust in Xu Lin.
Then he turned to Chang Mu, who claimed to have been to Cuishui Village, and asked,
"Miss Chang, do you know what's going on?"
Chang Mu cursed in his heart, but he had to force a smile on the surface:
"I'm not sure either."
Everyone looked at each other.
In the crowd, Qingxi tightly grasped Fu Chao's pants:
"Uncle, I'm so tired."
How can I say tired? I am clearly sleepy.
Children are always like this. They play energetically on the bus, but start to feel sleepy after getting off.
Fortunately, Fu Chao was strong and simply carried Qingxi on his back.
Seeing this, Xie Yu and Qi Pei'er also asked Xie An'an and Qi Zhang.
The two children couldn't bear it anymore.
Xie Yu simply hugged Xie Anan in his arms with one hand.
Qi Pei'er loves sports and exercises regularly, so carrying Qi Zhang is not a problem for her.
But Nanzhi is not like that.
Even though her body had been adjusted through herbal diet and had reached the level of an ordinary person, and she was no longer in the state where she had to gasp for air after walking a few steps...but compared to the healthy and energetic Qi Pei'er, she was still too thin and frail.
Also, I don't know if she didn't get enough rest or was too tired from the journey.
The dim light in the distance reflected on her unsightly face.
Fu Chao: "Do you want me to help you?"
Xie Yu: "Let me hold Yi Yi."
The two spoke almost at the same time.
The crowd, who were originally in distress, were instantly attracted by the movement.
The camera that was broadcasting live also looked over:
[Oh oh oh! What's going on? ]
[Hiss, I smell the atmosphere of Shura Field! ]
[It's just a small favor, please don't let your imagination run wild, okay? ]
[Still in Shura? We'll all be camping out in the wilderness tonight! Wake up, please! ]
[I don't bother to pay attention to you, the one who got hit is happy anyway! ]
…
The audience in the live broadcast room were happily eating melons and watching the show.
In fact, there was no ambiguity between Nanzhi, Xie Yu and Fu Chao.
Everyone was just tired and wanted to help each other sincerely.
So Nanzhi did not refuse immediately, but asked Nanyi for his opinion.
Nan Yi's lips turned pale, but her face was stubborn:
"No, I can walk."
Later, a young and strong male staff member came out and offered to help hold Nan Yi.
He was also rejected.
It seems that Nan Yi is not more able to endure hardship, but simply does not want to leave her mother.
Or become a burden to her.
Even though they have seen this many times, everyone is still impressed by Nan Yi's understanding.
"What a good kid."
"I wish I could have an angel child like this in the future!"
"Boss Nan is pretty good too. What a child is like has everything to do with his parents!"
"…"
The whispers between the staff drifted into Chang Mu's ears.
Especially the kind of "what a child is like has to do with his parents", it sounds so harsh.
If he wasn't sure that no one knew the truth, Chang Mu would almost think that they did it on purpose!
She looked particularly grim.
If it weren't for the cover of night, I'm afraid it would have been discovered long ago...
Pop.
A chill fell on my forehead.
Chang Mu was caught off guard and screamed out loud!
"Ah! What is that!"
The others were attracted by her voice and looked around in surprise.
"Hmm? Looks like it's raining?"
"Don't be afraid, Miss Chang. It's just rain."
"Wait, it's raining! What should we do with our equipment?"
"…"
During the chaos and war, no one cared about Chang Mu's feelings.
Including the comments, the debate shifted from "Is Chang Mu making a fuss?" to the sudden rain:
[There are only 6 dots in my heart...]
[It's true, so true! ]
[Although I thought life in the mountains would be hard, this was clearly beyond my imagination! ]
【Those people who criticize the show online as a show, why don't you come out and see? Is the rain every day also a script?】
[It's both miserable and funny! I feel more comfortable staying at home. ]
[The entire program group is in a mess! ]
…
A few raindrops quickly turned into a heavy downpour.
Some wanted to speed up and get into the village, while others thought it would be better to turn around and get back in the car.
Everyone had disagreements and there was no time to discuss them.
As a result, the people who were originally well-organized became like headless flies, not knowing whether to move forward or backward, and what to do.
Xu Lin yelled several times at the top of his lungs, but it didn't work. He was so anxious that he was sweating profusely...
"Don't panic."
Nanzhi's voice suddenly rang out, like a clear spring flowing over a restless fire.
She calmly commanded:
"The equipment must not get wet. Use umbrellas to block them first. The bus is closer. Let's go back to the bus first and send someone to the village to inquire about the situation... What are you looking at me for? Quick!"
The word "hurry" made many people shudder, as if they were back to the Nanjia Restaurant in the last episode.
When the store was busiest, most of the staff from the program team became her employees.
Thanks to her stabilizing force, those who inexplicably switched to the catering industry did not make mistakes in their busy schedule.
They were used to following her orders, and Boss Nan's influence was still exerting an influence.
So, two seconds later, everyone moved at the same time as she said.
Chang Mu was pulling his suitcase and was squeezed around in the crowd.
A few hurried apologies fell upon her:
"I'm sorry Miss Chang."
"Miss Chang, please make way."
"Can you please stand to the side, Miss Chang?"
"…"
Chang Mu couldn't help but curse in his heart:
Are you guys Nanzhi's dogs? Why do you have to follow whatever she says?
You dare to ask me to avoid you, do you know...
"Ah, Miss Chang, your pants!"
Because Chang Mu didn't avoid it for a long time.
The mud and water that were stirred up when the equipment was moved splashed onto her trouser legs.
The white pants suddenly became dirty and looked terrible.
The muddy water was cold against my skin.
Chang Mu's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
And pretend to be generous:
"It's okay. It's okay."
[Is the eldest lady angry? ]
[It would be strange if I didn't have a gloomy face. I would have screamed if it were me. ]
[She was reminded by others, but she didn't move out of the way, okay? ]
[The young lady is a little confused, which is understandable. She has probably never seen such a scene in her life.]
… Chapter 188: A volunteer teacher with dreams.
Thanks to Nanzhi's command, the chaotic scene became orderly again.
They returned to the bus.
With the roof to keep out the rain, I am finally not in such a bad situation anymore.
Not long after, the people who were sent to the village to look for someone also came back.
There were several people following behind them, carrying flashlights and wearing raincoats.
They were the village chief of Cuishui Village and others who had contacted Xu Lin.
Village Chief: "I'm so sorry, we thought you wouldn't arrive until tomorrow!"
It turned out that there was a problem in the communication link.
However, now is not the time to pursue accountability. What is important is to allocate houses first so that everyone has a place to live.
The identity card I drew earlier finally came in handy.
Nanzhi took it out of her bag, turned it over and read:
[As a volunteer teacher in a mountain village, you come from a poor family, but you have a great dream that is more precious than gold. I hope to help more children grow wings and walk out of the mountains. Fulfill your responsibility as a teacher.]
【Deposit 10 yuan.】
Although he had already read the contents of the card, when he saw it again, Nanzhi was still silent because of the 10 yuan clearly written on it.
No need to be mysterious, the live camera was also focused on the cards in the hands of the guests—
[Nanzhi is a volunteer teacher, and Qi Peier is also a volunteer teacher. Hmm? What's going on? ]
[The description that follows is different, and the deposit amount is also different... Nanzhi's 10 yuan is too miserable! ]
[That's right, Qi Pei'er managed to get 200 yuan! ]
[There is no place to spend money in this mountainous area...]
[Didn't you just hear them say? There's a town down the mountain, so how come there's no place to spend money? ]
[In fact, I discovered a long time ago that my luck is a bit bad! ]
【Don't hurt the child's heart. 】
[The identities of the other people are also quite interesting. Fu Chao is a 'rich kid who dreams of supporting mountainous areas', and Xie Yu is a 'college student village official who wants to give back to his hometown after graduation'! ]
[Wow, so this is why Fu Chao has a deposit of 10,000? No wonder he said at the airport that he got the best one! ]
[Wait, the young lady has no identity and no restrictions? ]
[I told you that they are here to do charity! ]
[Charity, charity, how can charity be her shield? Can't she even say a word? ]
…
There was a heated debate in the barrage about the identities everyone drew.
The only thing we agreed on was...
The worst is still the Nanzhi Nanyi family!
Xu Lin and others from the program team who had just seen the identity card results fell silent.
Let's not talk about the first issue for now, that was their secret operation.
The next two episodes were drawn by Nan Yi himself!
You know, because this episode was filmed in the mountains, the production team made good arrangements for the other three identities.
The only poor condition is to increase the appeal of the show.
But the program crew never expected that it would be Nanzhi Nanyi and others who drew the prize!
Now even they felt bad!
The carriage was very quiet, and everyone had different expressions.
Fu Chao suddenly smiled and said,
"Director Xu, it's boring to always forbid the exchange of ID cards. Why don't we do something special this time?"
Xie Yu and Qi Pei'er nodded in agreement.
It can be seen that they all intend to exchange their ID cards with Nanzhi Nanyi.
How sensitive is Nan Yi to other people's emotions?
He immediately reacted:
"Mom, did I get the worst result again?"
His eyes were droopy and he looked very lost.
He couldn't help it, and looked down at his little hands, turning them over and over, almost seeing through them!
Nanzhi comforted him:
"How could it be? How you live your life depends on yourself. Or do you not believe in your mother?"
Frustrated, Nan Yi looked up upon hearing this.
He thought of his mother's performance in the previous two episodes, and finally nodded slowly:
"letter."
Nanzhi also said to the struggling Xu Lin:
"Director Xu, there is no need to change."
Xu Lin subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
To be honest, he really wanted to accept Fu Chao and the others' proposal.
The program rules change every day, which will definitely attract a lot of complaints, which is very detrimental to the program itself.
But he couldn't bear to see Nanzhi and Nanyi suffer, so he could only say:
"If you really encounter a problem, you should seek help."
Fu Chao and the others were not very happy.
But after all, it was Nanzhi's personal request, so it was hard to refute.
Then, everyone got up and headed for their residence.
Normally, they should visit each other's houses together first.
But it was too late today and it was raining outside, so it was not a suitable time to visit.
So they decided to split up into several groups, and the live broadcast room was also divided into personal live broadcast rooms.
In the blink of an eye, only Nanzhi and Nanyi mother and son were left.
Nanzhi put on the raincoat for Nanyi and checked it carefully to see if there were any damaged parts that could leak.
Unexpectedly, when she was examining, Nan Yi also opened his eyes seriously and helped her examine.
"Mom, it's broken here."
The plastic raincoat is disposable and the quality is not particularly good.
When Nanzhi was wearing this skirt, it accidentally got caught.
She looked down:
"It's just a small bite, not a big deal."
Nan Yi wanted to exchange clothes with her mother.
But after seeing the difference in height and raincoat between them, he finally gave up.
He only warned earnestly:
"Then mom, be careful and don't get wet."
The southern branch stretches out and smiles:
"Don't worry."
She pulled her suitcase and walked out of the bus.
As soon as he got off the car, Nan Yi immediately held Nan Zhi's hand tightly.
I don't know if it was the darkness around him that deepened his fear.
Nanzhi quietly held his hand tightly.
At this moment, the mother and son were accompanied by a photographer and a follow-up director.
They can be considered as old partners of the mother and son. In the first period, they were almost inseparable every day and had a good relationship.
Unfortunately, friendship cannot transcend the rules of the program team.
As recorders behind the camera, the two were unable to communicate with Nanzhi and Nanyi or provide them with any help.
So, Nanzhi still held Nanyi's hand with one hand and dragged the suitcase with the other, and set off on the difficult journey against the wind and rain.
At this point, you will find that the raincoat is not very useful.
The wind was blowing, and the fine raindrops were blown off course and came towards us.
Nanzhi soon felt his face soaked by the rain.
Even the hair was wet.
Unfortunately, the road conditions in this village are not good, and a rain makes the road muddy.
The suitcase with rolling wheels became a burden at this moment. If the wheels accidentally sank into the mud, Nanzhi would have to use a lot of effort to pull them out.
At this moment, Nanzhi couldn't help but feel fortunate that she didn't bring too much luggage, and only had this suitcase that could barely be considered light. Otherwise, she really didn't know what to do.
At the beginning, Nan Yi insisted on holding Nan Zhi's hand.
Later, he saw that Nanzhi was having a hard time dragging the luggage, so he stopped holding her hand.
Instead, he ran behind the suitcase and helped push it with a grunt.
Nanzhi frowned:
"Be careful of the rain."
"Don't worry, Mom."
Nan Yi quietly wiped the rain off his face. Chapter 189 The Leaky Old House
The journey to the residence was quite difficult.
I thought I could take a rest once I got to their house.
But when Nanzhi saw the small and dilapidated old tile house in the rain, he fell silent instantly.
Nan Yi wiped his wet face and slightly widened his eyes in surprise:
"Mom, this house seems to be falling down."
"…"
Nanzhi straightened his mind and whispered to comfort her:
"Don't worry, it won't collapse."
The program team would not want anything to happen to the guests more than anyone else.
This house probably only looks dilapidated on the outside, but it must have been reinforced on the inside.
In fact, when Nanzhi took the lead and walked into the old house, he found that it was the same.
There are signs of reinforcement in many places on the pillars and walls of the house.
However, the program crew probably didn't expect that the problems of this kind of old house were more than just collapse.
Click, click.
There was a violent storm outside, and a drizzle inside—
Near the kitchen, the tiles above were broken, probably due to disrepair. Rainwater kept leaking in through the gaps and dripping down continuously. With no place to drain, a small puddle quickly accumulated on the kitchen floor.
Fortunately, the heavy rain did not last long and the water leakage was not particularly much, otherwise not only the small kitchen but the whole house would have been flooded.
Seeing this, the audience in the live broadcast room wanted to complain at this moment.
[Mom, look, it's the Water Curtain Cave! ]
[This house is not only old and dilapidated, but it also leaks? Absolutely amazing! ]
[Are you crazy? Wouldn't guests get sick if they lived in a house like this? ]
[Nanzhi and Nanyi both look unwell. I guarantee that they will both be sick tomorrow!]
[This is really too much. It's to let the stars and children experience life, not to play PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds! ]
[The production team is inhumane! Hurry up and change them! ]
[It's the effect of the photography…]
[You blind bastard, is this your first time watching a live show? There is no fakery in this show! ]
…
The audience was making a lot of noise, expressing their dissatisfaction with the program production team.
The photographer and director who followed Nanzhi Nanyi in were shocked when they saw this.
They had completely forgotten the principle of not talking casually during filming, and stammered:
"I, we didn't see this place before... How about I contact Director Xu! Let's change your room!"
Although it is easy to say, they and Nanzhi both know that changing houses is not that easy.
This small village has a small permanent population, most of whom are elderly people or left-behind children.
Most people work away from home, and many houses are too old to be lived in.
As for the houses where the guests live, they had already arranged for people to come and renovate them in advance.
Where can I find a house in the middle of the night?
Besides, there are bedsheets and quilts in the house, and it is difficult to move them in the heavy rain.
Moreover, with Nanzhi and Nanyi now at the center of public controversy, if they move tonight, tomorrow there will be a negative article online saying "Nanzhi is being arrogant and refuses to live in the old house"...
After careful consideration, Nanzhi finally shook his head and refused:
"No need. The leak is only in the kitchen, it doesn't affect the inside. Wait until the rain stops tomorrow and then we can fix it."
She said it lightly, as if the leaky house was nothing to her!
[I really admire Nanzhi's emotional stability. If it were me, I would probably have collapsed and screamed.]
[Is the second episode of Nanjia Restaurant not enough for you to face reality? 】
[Honestly, Nanzhi is a bit stubborn. It seems like she is deliberately setting up a character and making herself look miserable.]
[Stubborn? I think she is afraid of being picked on by someone like you! Look, here she comes, isn't she? ]
【Watch a few more episodes of the show. Anyone who has watched more than two episodes will not be able to say things like "Nanzhi is selling misery"! 】
[How could they not know? They pretend to be ignorant even though they know the truth! They just want to scold Nanzhi! ]
…
The photographer and the director wanted to give some advice.
But Nan Yi had already taken unconditional action based on Nan Zhi's words:
"Mom, do you want to clean up first?"
"Just clean up and go to bed early. We'll talk about it tomorrow."
Nanzhi calmly scanned the room and quickly made a judgment.
The photographer and the director had to leave the house, leaving the mother and son alone.
Nanzhi first pushed the suitcase to the wall on the left side of the entrance, which was the farthest location from the leaking kitchen.
Then he took off his wet plastic raincoat, rolled it up and put it in the corner.
She quietly pulled out a tissue and pinched the wet cloth on her shoulders twice.
Drying it out is definitely impossible, but it's better than nothing.
Then, find two plastic basins to collect the water and sweep the water on the ground.
The rain outside has gradually subsided, and these two basins should be enough to last until tomorrow.
While Nanzhi was busy, Nanyi was not idle either.
He followed suit and took off his raincoat.
Fortunately, his raincoat was intact and the clothes inside were dry, at most his trouser legs were a little dirty.
While Nanzhi was mopping the floor in front, he was helping her from behind, following closely.
With the joint efforts of mother and son, the water leakage problem was barely solved.
Only then did they have time to look at the sleeping place—
This old house is not very big and is very old overall. It has poor lighting and no windows.
It can be seen that no one has lived in it for a long time. There are only traces of hasty cleaning by the production team. The wall paint has become mottled and peeling due to moisture, and there are traces of mildew in the corners.
After entering the door, the kitchen is on the right, where there are daily necessities prepared by the program crew, such as firewood, rice, oil and salt. Fortunately, they are all unopened, otherwise they would be unusable after being soaked by rain.
Now that the floor has been swept, the remaining water marks mixed with dust make the marks look dirty and messy, and everything is crowded together in a mess.
On the left side of the entrance is the living room, which has a small red wooden sofa. It looks uncomfortable and because it has not been used for a long time, there is dust and dirt in the gaps.
Going further in and passing through a door, there is a cramped bathroom next to it, so small that two people can't even turn around. The only advantage is that it is relatively clean. The wall tiles were probably installed by the program crew, and they are brand new, with a small window for ventilation.
The bedroom is not very big. The wardrobe and bed were probably not in the original house and were just bought by the program team just to match the tone of this old house. The colors are dark and the style is old-fashioned.
However, this little flaw is nothing compared to the leaking kitchen roof.
Nanzhi even felt relieved after seeing such a room.
I thought to myself: Finally I can have a good night's sleep.
"It seems that the room doesn't need to be cleaned, which saves us a lot of effort."
Nanzhi spoke to Nanyi in a light tone.
But Southern Italy doesn't have much idea about whether the environment is good or bad.
He was just content because he and his mother lived in the small house.
So, after they washed up and went to bed, Nan Yi fell into a deep sleep almost as soon as he touched the pillow.
Have a good night. Chapter 190 Must change rooms!
Nan Yi was sleeping soundly.
I don't even know when my mother got up.
He only remembered that in his daze, he subconsciously wanted to turn over and crawl into his mother's arms.
When she stretched out her little hand, she felt empty and cold beside her.
He almost thought he was having another nightmare. In an instant, he lost all sleepiness and got up quickly. His surprisingly bright black eyes were filled with alertness for the unfamiliar environment and panic about his mother's absence.
Just at this moment, Nanzhi came in from the outer room holding clothes.
Her eyes met Nan Yi's and she smiled suddenly:
"Are you awake? Get up and have breakfast."
Nan Yi blinked:
"Mother?"
Nanzhi saw that he seemed to be half asleep, so she walked over with a smile and rubbed his head:
"Who else could it be but me?"
Nan Yi habitually wanted to rub Nanzhi's palm.
But he was a little slow.
Before he could get to her, Nanzhi had already turned around and took the clothes to the closet.
The clothes in her arms were all just taken out of the suitcase.
I had a hasty rest last night and only took out pajamas and toiletries from the suitcase, leaving most of my things unpacked.
I will be living in this old house for the next half month, so I still have to clean up what needs to be cleaned up.
So, Nanzhi got up early in the morning, wiped the suitcase clean, and put everything in place.
I also cleaned up the messy kitchen and gave the outer room a simple clean.
She only got up half an hour earlier than Nan Yi, but her efficiency was really high.
The audience who came to the live broadcast room early in the morning were very impressed:
[It is obvious that Nanzhi has real work experience, not just for show, her movements are so skillful! ]
[I thought you had discovered this eight hundred years ago! ]
[Nanzhi's life skills are MAX! Just came from the live broadcast room next door, a certain young lady is really...]
[Don't say that. Everyone has their own merits. Don't drag others down! In the end, it's me, Sister Zhi, who gets scolded! ]
[Oh, the baby is up! His little face is so cute with its rosy cheeks! ]
[Yiyi, did you want to rub your mother's hand just now? But your mother didn't notice, so disappointed! ]
[My baby is so cute early in the morning, come and let auntie kiss you! ]
…
Nan Yi did feel a little disappointed.
However, when he saw Nanzhi busy, he quickly became alert and nimbly crawled to the bedside and slid down:
"I'll help you!"
Nanzhi did not refuse his kindness.
She deliberately slowed down and waited for Nan Yi to come over and help her clean up the closet.
Nan Yi was completely unaware of the care his mother was taking for him.
He only knew that he had helped his mother and was useful, so he puffed out his chest with pride.
Nanzhi found it funny and took him over:
"Well, now that you've worked so hard, let's go have breakfast."
Nan Yi nodded happily and skipped out of the bedroom.
"The rain has stopped!"
His little slippers clattered as he ran to the open door.
—Because there was no window in the outer room, Nanzhi simply left the door open to let light into the house.
It seems that the effect is good now.
Nanzhi pointed it out to Nanyi:
"Look, does that door frame look like a picture frame?"
Nan Yi looked at it for a while, not quite understanding it.
Then, there was a cheer of surprise:
"Really? So beautiful!"
The door frame is a picture frame, and outside the door is a natural painting.
The vibrant sunshine and greenery in the early morning after the rain rushed into the door frame.
Even the old and decaying door frame is imbued with poetic sentiment, transforming it into an ancient elegance.
Looking out, you will find that although this house is shabby, old and has many shortcomings, its location is really good. It is located at a high place and the view is extraordinary.
After the rain, the lush green mountains spread out before our eyes like a picture scroll, extending endlessly until they reach the distant horizon.
There is also a jujube tree planted in front of the door. It should be quite old, with lush branches and leaves, and it stands tall like a canopy, casting a thick shade under the tree. It is the perfect place to put a rocking chair, rock back and forth while fanning yourself, and pass the time.
[Wow, is this place so beautiful? I almost thought it was some kind of wilderness village when I saw it last night. My mind was filled with horror movies!]
[Sometimes I am really amazed at Nanzhi's eyes for discovering beauty! When she described it as a picture frame, my eyes lit up! ]
[More than that, she is always in a stable and optimistic mood, and teaches Nan Yi by example! As a child with grumpy parents, I really envy Nan Yi! ]
[What a picturesque view! Does anyone know the exact location? I really want to go there! ]
[Travel? I'm afraid you're not going to Nanzhi for dinner, haha! ]
[The program crew only said that it was in your province. From the footage, they took a detour through the mountains, so it must have been really deep in the mountains.]
[Isn't this place suitable for a resort? I wonder why such a beautiful place is poor. ]
[The natural environment is good and undeveloped, which means that transportation is inconvenient. Do you think they want to be so poor? ]
[Yes, I also came from a small mountain village. If it weren't for life, I would also like to go back home. ]
…
The audience is still discussing it enthusiastically.
Nanzhi had already brought Nanyi to the dining table, ready to have breakfast.
Due to limited conditions, Nanzhi had to simply cook millet porridge and bake a few egg pancakes.
But nothing she made was simple.
The millet porridge is cooked until it is thick, golden and filled with the aroma of rice.
The omelet is thin and crispy, and the combination of chopped green onions and eggs is something you will never get tired of.
Although the breakfast was not very sumptuous, it made my stomach feel comfortable and all the fatigue from the night was gone.
When I was halfway through my meal, I heard Qi Pei'er's clear and enthusiastic voice from afar:
"Zhizhi! We are coming!"
Nanzhi and Nanyi exchanged glances in surprise.
The two of them quickly got up to take a look.
Then, at the end of the path in front of the house, the figures of Qi Pei'er and Qi Zhang appeared.
And it's not just them.
Following behind them were Xie Yu and Xie Anan.
When they saw Nanzhi Nanyi, they all smiled brightly.
But the smile quickly disappeared and his eyebrows were twisted into a knot.
Qi Pei'er was so angry that she stood in front of the house with her hands on her hips:
"Is this the house arranged by the production team? They are trying to harm you! Can people live here?"
The other three houses are relatively close to each other, except for the Nanzhi house which is farther away.
Before, Qi Pei'er looked at her house, and also at Xie Yu and Fu Chao's houses, and thought they were both pretty good, with green bricks and green tiles, spacious and bright. Not luxurious, but at least very tasteful.
So she naturally thought that Nanzhi's house was the same.
Until now, when she saw it with her own eyes, the short and dilapidated old house in front of her looked like it had been abandoned and temporarily cleaned out. Qi Pei'er was so angry that she immediately rolled up her sleeves and went to settle the score with the program crew!
"Where can we live here? We need to move houses! We must move houses!"
Xie Yu also frowned.
But he was much more reserved and looked inside the house first:
"It's safe."
Then he saw two basins filled with rain water on the ground that had not been emptied yet, and his face darkened. Chapter 191: Rich and powerful!
"Is it leaking?"
Xie Yu asked worriedly.
Qi Pei'er was so shocked that she gasped.
Nanzhi nodded calmly:
"But it's already been..." It's been dealt with.
He didn't finish his words.
Qi Pei'er pulled her and walked back the way they came.
Xie Yu said nothing and called the confused kids to follow them.
After taking a few quick steps, Nanzhi's breathing became disordered, and she hurriedly called out,
"Wait, what's going on?"
Qi Pei'er said with a tense face:
"The production team is not a decent person, of course we have to ask them for an explanation!"
Nanzhi then discovered that
It turns out that when Qi Pei'er is really angry, she won't make a lot of noise. Instead, she will be exceptionally calm. Only her fiery eyes reveal that her heart is not at peace.
Nanzhi was inevitably touched.
She had a good impression of Qi Pei'er before, but most of her impression was of her as a colleague in the program crew.
friend…
She lived two lives and never had a true friend.
Now, she actually felt the sincerity that only belongs to a friend in Qi Pei'er, and her heart couldn't help but soften.
Even her tone was much gentler, and she comforted Qi Pei'er softly:
"It's not a big problem, it will be fine after a little treatment."
Qi Pei'er immediately showed a look of disapproval.
However, having been in the entertainment industry for many years, she also knows that forcing the program crew to change rooms is likely to cause public controversy.
She doesn't care and just lets him scold her.
What about Nanzhi?
Do you want to be scolded along with her?
Thinking of this, Qi Pei'er's energy began to dissipate.
She let go of his hand and said reluctantly:
"...Then I'll help you."
"OK."
This time Nanzhi agreed with a smile.
[Pei Er is really trying to stand up for Nan Zhi! ]
[Girls are really beautiful, so cute! 】
[Qi Pei'er, who usually always makes people choke, can actually be so well-behaved? Tsk tsk tsk. ]
[Is Qi Pei'er really exaggerating? It's just an old house, but she's acting like she's asking Nanzhi to die! ]
[Do you want this blessing? ]
[Don't mind the affairs of beautiful women! ]
…
Seeing that Nanzhi had made up her mind, Xie Yu did not try to persuade her any further and only said that he and Qi Pei'er would help together.
As he spoke, he handed over the small pot in his hand:
"Have you had breakfast? I cooked some sour soup rice noodles."
Only then did everyone notice that Xie Yu was holding a small casserole in his hand.
Nanzhi was startled and was about to say that he was eating.
Qi Pei'er exclaimed.
She seemed to be reminded by Xie Yu's actions and immediately took out two eggs from her trouser pocket.
...Wait, eggs?
"Hiss, it's still hot! Zhizhi, here are the eggs I boiled! I just took them from the chicken coop this morning!"
It seems that the house Qi Pei'er was allocated is really nice, there is even a chicken coop in the yard!
However, Nanzhi couldn't help laughing when she thought of Qi Pei'er sneaking around in the chicken coop.
"Thank you, but I..."
"Here we come!"
Accompanied by the loud shouting, Fu Chao hurriedly came from the path, followed by Qing Xi who was jogging behind him.
The most eye-catching thing was the plastic bags that Fu Chao was holding in both hands, which were filled with various breakfasts.
Glutinous rice balls, scallion pancakes, vegetable buns...
It looked like they had taken over the entire breakfast shop!
But where could there be a breakfast shop in such a poor little mountain village?
Qi Pei'er exclaimed:
"You went down the mountain to the town?"
This round trip time...
Did Fu Chao go out in the early morning?
Fu Chao was well poked in the right place.
He raised his chin, unable to hide his pride, and it seemed as if there was a tail wagging behind him:
"I bought them from the villagers next door. These are their own breakfasts. Even the vegetables are grown in the backyard. They are absolutely natural and pollution-free!"
He wanted to hear everyone praise him for being smart and clever.
As a result, Qi Pei'er's first reaction after hearing this was:
"...As expected of a rich man with 10,000 pocket money."
Xie Yu nodded and said yes.
Fu Chao was so angry that he almost rolled his eyes.
It was Nanzhi's words that saved him:
"Thank you for your hard work, Fu Chao."
Fu Chao was healed in an instant and started laughing.
Qing Xi next to him couldn't stand it anymore:
"Uncle, I'm so hungry!"
Qingxi had gotten up in the morning and had been going to his neighbor's house to buy food. He hadn't eaten a single bite yet and was so hungry that he felt dizzy and dizzy!
Fu Chao couldn't laugh anymore and quickly coaxed his little ancestor:
"Don't worry, don't worry, you can eat a lot."
Seeing this, Nanzhi simply invited them into the house.
"Just in time…"
Before she said this, she glanced at Nan Yi.
Nan Yi understood Nan Zhi's meaning without any instruction.
—Nan Yi had previously expressed a little dissatisfaction because other people would share his food, so now, Nan Zhi would always ask for his opinion before sharing.
So, Nan Yi nodded slightly.
Nanzhi paused before continuing:
"...I just made breakfast, so the portion may not be large. How about we share some?"
No one can resist this offer!
Anyway, the breakfast is rich enough—
Nanzhi made millet porridge and egg pancakes by herself;
Xie Yu brought his sour soup rice noodles;
Qi Pei'er shared the boiled eggs;
needless to say, Fu Chao brought enough for everyone.
In a blink of an eye, breakfast was placed on Nanzhi's empty dining table, and every corner was filled to the brim.
Everyone sat around the table.
The table was not big and it was a bit crowded, but everyone felt very happy.
It seems like we are back to the last time we opened Nanjia Restaurant, when they were able to use delicious food to soothe their tiredness during the precious moments before and after their busy days.
Fu Chao was very angry at first when he saw the leaking kitchen.
Later, after being persuaded by Nanzhi, he had no choice but to accept the current situation.
He patted his chest and promised:
"We will definitely make your house beautiful!"
20 minutes later.
Fu Chao was standing in front of Nanzhi's house, carrying a ladder borrowed from a villager next door, and was dumbfounded.
How should I fix it? He has never done it before!
Xie Yu crossed his arms and said calmly:
"We should replace the tiles."
Obviously, they didn't.
Qi Peier shouted confidently:
"Then let the production team do it! It's their responsibility to ensure the basic living standards of the guests!"
This makes a lot of sense.
Not long after, the program crew came with people and said they would repair the broken tiles.
But that's all.
Qi Pei'er suddenly felt dissatisfied:
"How can that be..."
"It's okay, we'll do the rest ourselves."
Nanzhi stopped Qi Peier.
Now that the biggest problem has been solved, the remaining minor troubles are nothing.
But for Fu Chao and his friends, they were still completely in the dark.
In the end, Nanzhi came out to command personally—
Scrape off the moldy wall;
clean the wooden sofa thoroughly from inside to outside;
clean the dirty floor thoroughly;
…
There are also broken furniture, and this kind of carpentry work was done by Nanzhi himself.
She had repaired a cabinet in the first recording, so repairing a table corner bench now was naturally a piece of cake.
Of course, that didn't stop Fu Chao and the others from being amazed. Chapter 192 Village Primary School
In just 2 hours, the entire old house was cleaned thoroughly inside and out.
The newly renovated old house finally has a simple and warm feeling.
But Fu Chao was still not satisfied:
"How about we go down the mountain and buy some things to decorate? I wonder if there is anyone selling furniture, so we can just replace the sofas, tables and chairs..."
Fu Chao, who had 10,000 yuan in his pocket, was so rich that he spent money without blinking an eye.
Unfortunately, Nanzhi reminded him:
"It's getting late. We need to go to school next."
Not only Fu Chao and his group, but even the audience just remembered:
[Oh, right! Nanzhi Qi Peier drew the volunteer teacher, right? ]
[Haha, I finally remembered. The young lady went there early in the morning, okay? ]
[We didn't agree on a time, so what if Nanzhi and the others came later? We're not playing at home! At least we need to solve our basic living problems! ]
[Hmm, I'm curious what Nanzhi can teach the children to do at school? Cooking?]
[What's wrong with teaching children to be chefs? It's a skill! It's convenient for future employment! It's more practical, isn't it? ]
[Yes! Don't forget that Nanzhi is a graduate of Yanda University. Isn't her academic qualification enough to teach a group of ordinary students? ]
[Graduating from Yanda University does not mean that everything is perfect. Nanzhi did not work in her major after graduation, but chose to be a chef. Doesn't this prove it? ]
[Although...but...Nanzhi became an actress after graduation, right? Have you all forgotten? ]
[The comments in the last episode were quite friendly, but why did the atmosphere in this episode suddenly take a turn for the worse? 】
[Why? Because there is a certain young lady. ]
[Please stop spreading rumors! ]
…
The identities drawn by Fu Chao and Xie Yu were different from those of Nanzhi and Qi Peier.
Their roles are more like village cadres or village officials.
Therefore, only Nanzhi and Qi Peier went straight to the village primary school.
Of course, Nan Yi and Qi Zhang will be with them at all times.
While walking on the road, Qi Pei'er was still joking, saying that Nan Yi and Qi Zhang, two kindergarten students, were about to experience primary school life in advance.
Qi Zhang expressed his excitement, saying that he felt like he had transformed into an adult.
Nan Yi didn't feel much about it, he had always been his mother's little follower.
The village primary school is not far away, just a 10-minute walk away.
From a distance, you can see the white building crawling in the green valley.
Nanzhi opened her eyes wide in slight surprise.
Qi Pei'er beside her exclaimed:
"This is quite different from the mountain elementary school I remembered!"
Not only Qi Pei'er, I'm afraid that many people's impression of mountain schools only exists in photos.
Generally speaking, they are low-rise gray tiled houses with potholes on the ground, no traditional playground, dilapidated school gates, simple dormitories, and all the children squeezed on large bunk beds...
But the village primary school that appeared before their eyes was nothing like the stereotype!
It can be seen that its teaching buildings and dormitories were built in recent years. They are brand new and clean, and the playground is very spacious.
Although the overall area is not large, it is equipped with a canteen, independent toilets, a small library, etc. It can be said that it is small but complete.
It completely refreshed most people's cognition!
[Is this really a mountain school? The environment is much better than I imagined! ]
[Yes, I live in the city, and the school I attended when I was a child may not be as good as the one here! ]
[I didn't realize it before when I just watched the news online, but now through the variety show, I suddenly feel our development! I'm proud!]
[This variety show is very meaningful. It is not a boring variety show that only knows how to attract attention and tear things apart. At least it allows us to see the real mountainous areas of Guizhou Province! ]
[But does a place like this still need teaching? Then wouldn't it be redundant for Nanzhi Qi Pei'er and the others to come here? ]
[Environment does not represent the quality of teachers. The main problem in this backward mountainous area is the lack of teachers. ]
[Yes, I have participated in a four-month teaching program before. Their hardware conditions have improved a lot now, but there is a severe shortage of teachers. Few people are willing to stay in the backward and poor mountain villages.]
…
The comments pointed out the core problem very sensibly.
As they expected—
After Nanzhi and his friends arrived, they first greeted the old man guarding the gate.
This old man is an elder in the village. It is said that his granddaughter is studying in the school. He comes to guard the gate not for money. His salary is not much. He mainly wants the children to have a quiet study environment.
On the way to the school with Nanzhi and the others, the old man casually introduced the school's situation, saying that the enrollment of this village primary school is not limited to the village itself, and almost all the children from several nearby villages study here.
There are not many children in the school, only about 50 in total, and there are even fewer teachers, only 3 people including the principal, so the children can only take basic cultural courses such as Chinese and mathematics.
For subjects like art and music, we can basically only wait for volunteers from mountainous areas to come and teach us, but we rarely get to see them.
It can be seen that the old man felt very sorry about this, and he even sighed casually:
"We need to study more and read more, so that our children can get out of the mountains..."
Qi Pei'er said bluntly:
"What if the children never come back?"
The old man could tell she meant no harm and replied with a smile,
"If they don't come back, it means they are doing well! We all wish they could! Children, keep walking forward! Don't look back!"
Qi Peier gave the old man a thumbs up:
"You are really open-minded. This is the wisdom of life!"
The old man grinned very happily.
Nanzhi listened quietly, his eyes scanning the surrounding environment inch by inch.
Finally, it fell on Nan Yi, who was holding her hand beside her.
"What's the matter?"
Nanzhi deliberately lowered her voice.
Qi Pei'er was chatting with the old man, and Qi Zhang was listening to them.
So they didn't hear it, only Nan Yi noticed it.
But he shook his head:
"It's okay."
Nothing happened.
Even his thin shoulders were drooping, as if he was crushed by something, and he looked even more depressed.
But Nanzhi did not rush to ask, but continued to observe.
They soon arrived at the principal's office, and before they even entered, they heard bursts of laughter coming from inside.
A modest and gentle female voice could be heard faintly:
"...No, this is what we should do. People with abilities should naturally shoulder more social responsibilities. This is also the purpose of our foundation."
Nanzhi heard it.
This is Chang Mu's voice.
A few steps forward, they saw their new guest Chang Mu standing with the principal, with a mountain of shoe boxes in front of them.
The assistant brought by Chang Mu was holding up his mobile phone and taking pictures frantically of the two people shaking hands and chatting happily.
Of course, I didn't forget to take pictures of all those shoe boxes. Chapter 193: Beautiful and kind-hearted?
After the old man's explanation, Nanzhi and the others finally understood -
It turned out that those shoes were gifts donated to the school by Miss Chang on behalf of the foundation behind her.
The stuff has just arrived and hasn't been sent out yet.
Chang Mu expressed his desire to take some photos as promotional photos for the charity foundation.
How could the principal not agree?
She cherishes and is grateful for every kindness sent to her.
If the principal had not restrained himself, he would have almost cried with excitement.
But her eyes are also red now, and her face, which has been sad for many years, unconsciously shows a genuine smile.
Chang Muzhe smiled politely and elegantly, showing all eight teeth in a standard way, and she skillfully found the angle of the camera to make sure that she could be photographed in her most beautiful look.
Her posture made this otherwise touching scene seem a little bit awkward.
However, this incongruity was suppressed by the halos of kindness and was almost unnoticeable.
Nanzhi raised her eyebrows slightly, and the emotion in her eyes was unclear.
But she didn't show it and continued to wait quietly.
The photo shoot is finally over.
Chang Mu then turned around and looked at Nanzhi and the others in surprise:
"Ah, you guys are finally here? Sorry I didn't notice you just now."
The word "finally" here is a bit subtle.
[Is it my illusion? I always feel that this young lady is a bit hostile...]
[Yes! I feel the same way! She gives me a hypocritical feeling! ]
[Oh my god, can you guys go to the hospital and get treatment for your paranoia? The whole world wants to harm your family, right? ]
[You really can't have fanboy brains, be realistic! She's a real rich girl, and her words may decide the fate of your boyfriend! ]
[I was so angry that I laughed. This is the first time I see someone scolding charity as hypocrisy! According to you, all philanthropists in the world are hypocrites! ]
[That's obviously not what I meant! Missy's supporters, please stop making random accusations! ]
[Okay, okay, stop arguing! ]
…
Different from the barrage filled with the smell of gunpowder.
The principal's office was calm and peaceful.
The southern branch stands still.
Qi Pei'er, on the other hand, was more perceptive than expected and immediately gave Nanzhi a wink.
But because the speed was too fast and the two people's eye contact happened to avoid the camera.
Therefore, neither Chang Mu nor the audience in the live broadcast room noticed this scene.
The atmosphere remains peaceful.
At least that's what it looks like on the surface.
The principal's attention then fell on them:
"Are you the new volunteer teachers?"
Nanzhi patted the back of Qi Peier's hand soothingly and took a step forward:
"Hello, Principal Zhang, we are new teachers. My name is Nanzhi."
"My name is Qi Pei'er!"
Not only Qi Pei'er, but Nan Yi and Qi Zhang also followed suit and introduced themselves.
Principal Zhang looked to be about 50 years old, with rough and red skin, but he had a very friendly smile and was a kind person. When he saw Nanzhi Qi Pei'er, he became particularly enthusiastic:
"No need to call me principal, just call me Teacher Zhang."
Nanzhi and Qi Peier nodded and followed suit:
"Teacher Zhang."
Teacher Zhang smiled at Nan Yi and Qi Zhang again:
"So you are the new little 'auditors'?"
Nan Yi and Qi Zhang exchanged glances.
Finally, Nan Yi asked first:
"What is an auditor?"
Teacher Zhang laughed heartily and was about to explain.
Chang Mu looked at his watch "inadvertently":
"The kids should be out of class soon, so why don't we hurry and deliver these surprise gifts!"
Teacher Zhang's attention was diverted:
"Yes, yes, yes, we need to make them happy! By the way, since Teacher Nan and Teacher Qi are here, why don't they come with us and get to know the kids?"
Nanzhi and Qi Pei'er would certainly not refuse this proposal.
But in Chang Mu's opinion, he might not be happy.
She worked hard to get so many new shoes just to build a good relationship with the kids in school and create a good image in front of the audience.
Who wants to share this honor with her "competitor"!
It was precisely because of the camera and the sight of others that Chang Mu did not dare to speak out his true thoughts.
She could only pretend to be open-minded:
"Yes, the two teachers can help together."
This approach is very effective. At least in the live broadcast room, there are many people praising her, and there are fewer and fewer comments criticizing her for being hypocritical.
A total of more than 50 pairs of shoes were moved by them to the playground outside.
The children who were playing on the playground during break time saw this and gathered around curiously:
"What is this? Is it food?"
"They are new shoes!"
"Wow!"
"…"
Other children quickly focused their attention on a few unfamiliar faces, looking at them shyly.
Some were brave enough to ask directly:
"Who are you? Are you new teachers?"
"Sister, you are so beautiful!"
"Children, are you here to study too?"
"You're so cute! Are you a doll?"
"…"
Among them, Nanzhi and Nanyi received the most stares.
The reason is simple, she just looks good.
Even though Nanzhi was only wearing a simple white shirt and jeans, she was still cool and beautiful, like the mist on the green hills after the rain.
Nan Yi, with her red lips and white teeth, has become an exquisite doll in everyone's eyes. People are afraid to touch her, but they also want to get close to her out of love.
Nan Yi didn't know if he was shy, but he quickly got behind his mother and hid his little body.
There was a burst of good-natured laughter all around.
Qi Pei'er, who was lively in character, pretended to be angry:
"Okay, you only like pretty sisters, right? I'm your new teacher too!"
Qi Zhang, who was jumping around beside her, acted as the atmosphere controller.
The children unconsciously relaxed and opened up their hearts amidst the laughter.
They called them "Teacher Nan" and "Teacher Qi", and also affectionately called Nan Yi and his friends "Brother Yi Yi" and "Brother Xiao Zhang".
In fact, Chang Mu is also very beautiful.
But children are naturally sensitive and always feel that she has a kind of arrogance and alienation that is difficult to approach.
So, they subconsciously avoided Chang Mu's position and surrounded Nanzhi and the others even more tightly.
Chang Mu clenched his teeth.
She secretly complained that these children were so ignorant. She brought so many gifts, didn't they know who to focus on?
She wanted to take back the initiative, and couldn't help but raise her voice and said,
"Children, come and see the gifts I brought, okay?"
The principal, Mr. Zhang, who was standing by, suddenly realized and agreed.
As Chang Mu had hoped, the children's attention was finally focused on her.
Only then did they discover the new shoes in the box, and each of them showed pure joy on their face.
Chang Mu breathed a sigh of relief with satisfaction, and said with a smile:
"This is a gift from me to you. I hope you can study hard..."
Chang Mu's assistant continued taking pictures with her mobile phone.
For a moment, Chang Mu seemed to have become the center of all shots. Chapter 194 Questioning
[Do you feel that Chang Mu is secretly competing with Nan Zhi...]
[Here we go again! How many times do I have to explain this? Can Nanzhi fans be more confident? ]
[No! It wasn't Nanzhi's fans who said that, we won't take the blame! ]
[They are all beautiful and kindhearted women, why don't we just hang out together happily? Why do we have to compete with each other? 】
[A certain celebrity fan is not happy that the young lady has stolen her limelight, and she doesn't even think about what qualifications she has to compete with the young lady! ]
[Hey, we have tolerated you for a long time! A bunch of licking dogs! ]
【What did you say? 】
…
The smell of gunpowder in the barrage became stronger and stronger.
It may be difficult for the audience to notice it because they are in the middle of it.
However, as program staff who are accustomed to the struggles in the entertainment industry, they understand the situation very clearly.
—We are all thousand-year-old foxes, why play Liao Zhai?
Someone in the corner couldn't help but whisper:
"This young lady is really extraordinary, wow."
"That's right. It's obvious that they have their own bootlickers and water army to protect them. It's obvious that Boss Nan's fans are inexperienced. How can they beat them?"
"It seems that Boss Nan had a conflict with the company. Without professional fan operations, it's no wonder he was suppressed."
"Then shall we just keep watching without taking any action?"
"How did you do it? I heard that the young lady had connections with the big money sponsor! The biggest investor! Otherwise, why would someone suddenly come in?"
"Then Director Xu will definitely not stand up for our Boss Nan. Look at how Director Xu usually sucks up to Young Master Tang... Ahem! Director Xu! When did you come?"
The worst thing that can happen to a worker is to speak ill of his boss in a corner and get caught red-handed!
Xu Lin put his hands behind his back, looking at me calmly like a leader on patrol:
"What did you just say? Who's the lackey?"
"I am a dog! I am a dog!"
Xu Lin was too lazy to care.
After he paused:
"Let someone guide the comments, don't make it too chaotic."
After saying that, he turned and left.
The remaining two people looked at each other:
"Director Xu, is this the boss of Zhan Nan?"
They looked excited and were about to spread the news secretly.
As a result, something went wrong with the live broadcast.
"What? Can't wear it?"
Chang Mu obviously didn't react immediately.
Teacher Zhang looked guilty, as if it was her fault:
"Yes, half of the children can't wear shoes because the size is a little small. If it was a little bigger, it could be put up with, but this is too small... Sorry, Miss Chang, I should have counted the children's shoe sizes in advance and told you."
This apology doesn't make sense.
Chang Mu didn't tell them in advance that she was going to donate shoes, but she brought them here as a surprise gift. How could Teacher Zhang know beforehand and count the shoe sizes?
It sounded like she was trying to smooth things over for Chang Mu and give her a way out.
Chang Mu curled his lips:
"No, it's my fault."
She glanced coldly at the assistant, who lowered his head in panic.
The assistant hurriedly explained:
"I'll contact the store right away and ask them to bring me new shoes!"
"Um."
Chang Mu tried hard to suppress his temper.
[Wow, the look in Miss's eyes just now was so powerful! ]
[It seems someone has uncovered the identity of the eldest daughter, saying that she is the only daughter in the family and the sole heir! No wonder she speaks so majestically! ]
[Sorry, we can only take on the role of workers, and the assistants are really miserable. ]
[What's so tragic? Wasn't it her fault first?]
[To be honest, it's also true that Chang Mu didn't communicate with his assistant in advance… As a director of a charity foundation, if he often participates in such donation activities, shouldn't he be very experienced? ]
[I got to the point right away! No wonder I felt uncomfortable! Although this young lady has been working hard to create a golden signboard of "charity" since she appeared on the screen, her every move is very unfamiliar! I have only been a volunteer for half a year, but I am not so ignorant! 】
[Can Nanzhi fans please stop defaming Miss? You can't compare with her in other areas, so you want to bring her down, right? ]
[It's enough to confuse right and wrong. Before some fans whitewash their own Jie Jie, can you first show the donation record of your Jie Jie? 】
[Isn't it okay that the young lady always ordered her subordinates to do it before? Your doubts are totally untenable! ]
…
The doubts about Chang Mu did not cause much splash and then sank.
After all, Chang Mu was an amateur before, at most an internet celebrity.
The word "charity" is like her golden shield.
Even the slightest omission will be covered up by this halo.
but.
Chang Mu knew that she was being too hasty.
The system reminded her to keep a distance from Nanzhi for the time being.
After hearing this, Chang Mu made an excuse and temporarily left the village primary school after agreeing to change his shoes later.
Chang Mu was not originally a member of the volunteer teachers, so her departure seemed reasonable.
Seeing this, Qi Pei'er turned her head and winked at Nanzhi.
It's too obvious.
Nanzhi smiled and raised her hand to touch Qi Peier's hair.
It also happened to help her avoid the camera.
Just in time, it's time for class.
In order to allow Nanzhi and Qi Pei'er to gain experience, Teacher Zhang asked them to start teaching the smallest class.
Because of the lack of teachers and the small number of students, this village primary school does not have grades one to six like many regular schools, but is divided into three classes according to age.
There are three teachers including the principal, Mr. Zhang. Each of them is responsible for one class, and also has to teach two other classes. They have almost no time to rest.
Through the introduction of Teacher Zhang, Nanzhi and his classmates met two other teachers, one male and one female, who were very enthusiastic about their arrival.
During the greetings, the male teacher took the initiative to ask Nanzhi and Qi Pei'er about the subjects they could teach.
Teacher Zhang suddenly remembered something and looked at Nanzhi with sharp eyes:
"Teacher Nan graduated from Yanda University, right?"
The two teachers exclaimed in surprise.
As the highest institution of learning in China, Yanda University is undoubtedly the dream of every student!
But at the same time, the difficulty of applying is also extremely high. Everyone who can enter Yanda University is the best of the best.
Everyone present is an education practitioner, so naturally they understand this more clearly!
Nanzhi behaved very modestly.
She nodded and was about to speak.
Nan Yi couldn't wait to nod his head, looking proud:
"That's right, my mother studied at Yanda University, and I want to study at Yanda University in the future!"
He hadn't said much today since he came in, and this moment was definitely the most talkative and outgoing he had been.
Everyone was amused by his childish words and gave him some encouragement, but no one took it to heart.
Nan Yi noticed it and puffed up his face in dissatisfaction.
Nanzhi touched his back soothingly.
Teacher Zhang: "Since you are a student of Yan University, you can definitely teach everything. However, our students are relatively weak in English. Can Teacher Nan help?"
Nanzhi said it was no problem. 2024-05-29
Chapter 195 I'm a little disappointed
[Nanzhi and the others have integrated well, they were accepted so quickly! ]
[Just came from next door, Nanzhi Qi Pei'er is in stark contrast to Fu Chao and Xie Yu hahaha! ]
[I went to see it right away. Those two were quite miserable, especially Fu Chao, who didn't know anything and was brutally beaten...]
[Hmm, so Nanzhi will change her career to become a teacher and won't be able to cook anymore? ]
[In this small village deep in the mountains, even if you open a restaurant, no one will buy it! ]
[That's right, even if we cut the price of Nanjia Restaurant in half, we still can't sell it here! ]
[I understand the reason, but I still feel regretful in my heart. ]
[I want to watch Nanzhi cook +1! I was attracted by this in the beginning, but now I feel a little bored. ]
…
You can see it.
After the Yanda sign was revealed, the three teachers had 100% trust in Nanzhi.
They even felt that Nanzhi didn't need a trial class and could take office directly.
However, this also means that -
Nanzhi and Nanyi have to separate temporarily.
Because Nanzhi will be attending classes in the senior grade next, and Nanyi and Qi Zhang are too young, they can only go to the youngest class.
Nanzhi and Qi Peier sent Nan Yi and Qi Zhang to the classroom door.
The female teacher in charge of this class is Kobayashi.
She was in her early 20s, with a friendly round face, and was the youngest of the three teachers.
Teacher Xiaolin was lively and repeatedly assured Nanzhi Qi Peier:
"Don't worry, I will take good care of the two children!"
Qi Pei'er and Qi Zhang have always gotten along like equal friends.
Qi Pei'er waved her hands nonchalantly:
"It's okay, I believe in my little Zhang! Right, Zhang Zhang!"
Qi Zhang nodded vigorously and proudly:
"Of course!"
As he said this, he high-fived Qi Pei'er and ran in happily.
Halfway through the run, I realized I had forgotten my friend, and turned back:
"Yi Yi, hurry up!"
Nanzhi was not so relaxed.
It is difficult to get Nan Yi to go to kindergarten normally, so now that he is coming to a strange new school, isn't it even more difficult?
At this point, Nanzhi had already prepared herself mentally, and had even prepared a long speech...
"Mom, I'm going in."
Nan Yi waved her little hands towards Nan Zhi obediently.
Nanzhi:?
She subconsciously took two steps forward and followed him all the way to the classroom door.
Nan Yi had to stop and said in a helpless and doting tone:
"I'm fine."
"real?"
Nanzhi was skeptical.
She always felt that in places she couldn't see, changes had taken place in Nan Yi that she wasn't even aware of.
What was going on? Did anything special happen in the past two days?
Nanzhi was rarely confused.
Nan Yi opened his mouth to explain.
But after looking around, I was too embarrassed to say it in front of other people:
"...Anyway, I will go to school obediently, don't worry, mom."
He pulled the strap of his schoolbag and walked quietly to Qi Zhang.
Teacher Kobayashi hurriedly greeted Nanzhi and the others:
"Then I'll go in first!"
As soon as she entered the room, she started arranging seats for Nan Yi and Qi Zhang.
The two were small and couldn't see from the back, so we finally let them sit in the first row.
Perhaps because they had just met on the playground, the students in the classroom were enthusiastic about the arrival of Nan Yi and Qi Zhang.
They took the initiative to help the two cubs bring the table and chairs from the back, and asked them:
"Can you sit on them by yourself?"
Children in the mountains start school late. The children in this classroom are around 7 to 8 years old.
The desks and chairs in the classroom are naturally adapted to their heights.
But for Nan Yi and Qi Zhang who are still in kindergarten, it is a bit too high.
Qi Zhang looked down at his short legs, then at the tall chair.
Finally, with the help of the little brother next to me, I climbed up with great effort and sat down.
Nan Yi, who is a little shorter than Qi Zhang, straightened his back.
He politely declined the help from others, grabbed the corner of the table, supported himself on the stool with his arms, and jumped up to sit on it.
The relaxed and flexible movements caused everyone to exclaim.
Nan Yi raised his head quietly, and his action clearly said:
What's the big deal?
However, Nanzhi, who was standing outside the classroom and watching, could see his hidden pride and happiness.
"It looks like a good atmosphere."
Qi Pei'er came closer to Nanzhi and said with a smile.
Nanzhi raised her eyebrows and looked back.
Qi Pei'er suddenly straightened her face:
"In fact, Yiyi is very sensible and independent. No matter what task is given to him, he can do it well."
Nanzhi was slightly stunned.
She lowered her head slightly, wondering what she was thinking.
After a while, Feng Qingyun was calm and said to Qi Pei'er:
"Let's go to class."
"Okay, okay."
Nanzhi soon took up her post as an English teacher.
In less than 20 minutes, she quickly grasped the key points of the class and gradually became like a duck in water.
According to Nanzhi herself, when she first entered college, she earned a lot of pocket money by tutoring.
It can be considered as accumulating experience.
Qi Pei'er is different.
She graduated from the top music college in the country, is proficient in many musical instruments, and is also a professional singer.
But she has zero experience as a teacher.
Taking advantage of her free time, Qi Pei'er complained to Nanzhi:
"What should I do? I don't know what to teach! Oh my God, will I mislead the students?"
Qi Pei'er grabbed her hair with both hands in panic.
Nanzhi slowly pulled her hand away:
"Just follow the textbook and teach you to sing."
In Nanzhi's opinion, it wasn't that Qi Pei'er didn't understand, she just had no experience, so she was too panicked.
After Nanzhi comforted her, Qi Pei'er came out of her blank state of mind and finally found some inspiration.
Because of the limited conditions at school and the lack of musical instruments, Qi Pei'er followed Nanzhi's suggestion and simply filled glass cups with different amounts of water, arranged them in staggered heights, and tapped them with chopsticks to make different sounds.
Qi Pei'er quickly adjusted the correct pitch and started giving music lessons to the students using the cup piano.
As expected, this approach was welcomed by the vast majority of students.
Everyone rushed over happily and surrounded Qi Pei'er.
Pairs of black and white eyes filled with a desire for knowledge looked at her curiously.
Qi Pei'er couldn't help being touched, and her nervousness gradually subsided.
She was in high spirits and even composed a lively folk tune on the water cup piano.
The students' eyes opened wider:
"Teacher Qi, what song is this? It's so nice! We've never heard it before!"
Qi Peier said proudly:
"Of course you haven't heard of it, because I just created it!"
The students were so surprised that they screamed and praised Teacher Qi directly, saying, "Teacher Qi is the most amazing person in the world!"
Qi Pei'er was even happier and simply raised her arms and shouted:
"I love it here!"
Nanzhi stood at the door with her arms folded, also smiling happily. Chapter 196 Here it comes
[This scene... is a bit spoiled, what's going on? ]
[Qi Pei'er is really cute, and the song she sang just now was so nice! ]
[Nanzhi is also very nice. She has been patiently comforting Qi Peier! Friendship is the best! ]
[I have to say that the idea of the water cup piano is really great. It can save money and increase children's interest in music. Even my naughty child started to tinker with it at home after seeing it! He said he wanted to be a water cup player! ]
[Hey, why did Nanzhi suddenly go out? ]
[This direction seems to be the cafeteria! Could it be that...]
[Here it comes! Here it comes! My favorite food anime episode! Wow! 】
…
Nanzhi walked into the cafeteria.
Although it is called a cafeteria, it is actually not that big.
It is roughly equivalent to the size of three classrooms, including the kitchen.
Most of the tables and chairs are brand new, the walls are painted snow-white, the floor is swept very clean, and the overall condition looks good.
But when you walk into the kitchen, you will still find some details.
For example, although there is no shortage of food, the variety is relatively limited. If you count them carefully, there are only affordable vegetables such as potatoes and cabbage. You can see meat and eggs sporadically, but not much.
This reminded Nanzhi of the kindergarten Nanyi attended. The menu was sent to the parents' mobile phones every week. There were rich and varied dishes, including exotic dishes. Professional nutritionists calculated the nutritional ratios that children needed to consume, including pork, beef, mutton, fish, shrimp and seafood...
The varied menu seemed to form a sharp contrast with the poor and single ingredients in front of him.
The audience didn't know Nanzhi's inner feelings, but they also felt distressed:
[The children must be eating very poorly. Are there so few vegetables? I thought there would be no shortage of food in the mountains! ]
[The vegetables grown by farmers are to be sold. These vegetables should be provided by the school and are part of the tuition fee, so they are mainly economical ingredients. ]
[Wow, I can't bear to see this as a mother. I remembered that my son wanted to throw away the pineapple yesterday because he thought it had no taste… From today on, I will teach him to cherish food! ]
[Is there a way to donate? I would like to do my best. ]
[Yes, yes, the program team should just open an account. I believe you! ]
…
At the same time, there are also some doubts:
[The school is so well built, but the children only eat these? ]
[There should be a special subsidy for loving breakfast, right? Why is the food so bad? Don't you think there is something wrong? ]
[I think the principal and teachers of this school are not that kind of people...]
[They may not be the only ones handling the money! ]
…
The topic of discussion in the barrage slid in a more suspicious direction.
Even the backstage staff were planning to intervene.
At this time, Nanzhi saw a figure coming in with a basket of vegetables, panting.
She rushed over to help, and just as she stretched out her hand...
The other party hurriedly shook his head:
"No, no, I can do it!"
This familiar voice.
Nanzhi was surprised:
"Teacher Zhang?"
Why is Mr. Zhang, the principal, moving the vegetable basket?
Mr. Zhang looked up and smiled:
"It's Mr. Nan."
Nanzhi insisted on helping without saying a word.
She didn't have much strength, so she gritted her teeth and tried hard, and finally managed to lift half of the basket.
Teacher Zhang smiled heartily and said,
"Stay with me."
She exerted strength with her arms, and the basket of vegetables that Nanzhi had been unable to lift was lifted up in an instant.
Nanzhi didn't let go and helped to move the basket of vegetables over.
After finally putting it on the ground, Nanzhi wiped his sweat and saw Teacher Zhang sweating profusely.
She asked hesitantly,
"Why are you the only one busy? Where are the others?"
Teacher Zhang waved his hand casually:
"Other teachers have classes, and Lao Lei is old, so we can't trouble him."
Lao Lei is the security guard that Nanzhi and his friends met at the school gate.
Nanzhi was silent for a few seconds, and remembered the key point:
"What about the chef?"
She actually had a premonition.
Sure enough, Teacher Zhang patted his chest:
"That's me! You didn't expect that! I'm a pretty good cook!"
Nanzhi: "...Then let me help you."
Teacher Zhang subconsciously refused, wanting Nanzhi to focus on teaching the children first.
Then I learned from Nanzhi that Qi Pei'er was already taking music classes, and the results were good, and the students liked it very much.
"That's great!"
Teacher Zhang continued to bend over and move things while saying,
"I knew that both of you teachers would be good. Teacher Xiao Qi, for example, is just too nervous. I heard that she graduated from a music university? That's a good place! It's a pity that our school doesn't have a piano. It would be nice to have an electronic keyboard, so that the children can at least know that there are many beautiful things in this world..."
Teacher Zhang kept on reading.
Nanzhi listened patiently.
After the two of them worked together to wash a whole basket of potatoes, Teacher Zhang pulled two stools over and asked Nanzhi to peel the potatoes together.
When Teacher Zhang saw Nanzhi's long, beautiful hands, she naturally assumed that Nanzhi didn't know how to cook, and took the initiative to teach her:
"Just hold the knife and cut it like this. Be careful not to cut your hands."
Nanzhi nodded lightly without further explanation.
【I hesitated to speak. 】
【Teacher Zhang, you may not know who is sitting in front of you. 】
[Chef Nan was taught how to peel potatoes! The most famous scene of the year, hahahaha! ]
[It doesn't matter, Teacher Zhang will be frightened soon! ]
[Wait, the question just now has not been answered yet. 】
[I am ready to report it.]
…
Fortunately, the audience's confusion was quickly answered.
Because Nanzhi then naturally asked about the ingredients:
"Are there so few vegetables? The children only eat potatoes?"
Teacher Zhang lowered his head while peeling the skin without even looking up:
"It's much better now. In the past few years, the children had nothing to eat. Most of them came to school hungry and left hungry. Those with better conditions brought some fried rice from home for lunch. The school environment was also poor at that time. They were all mud houses. When it rained heavily, we were worried that the houses would collapse..."
In a calm and casual tone, she mentioned the past of this school.
Those who heard it felt suffocated, as if they couldn't breathe.
It was only then that Nanzhi realized that Teacher Zhang had been the principal here for more than 20 years.
She used to be from Cuishui Village.
Later, when I was in high school, I saw that the children in the village had no books to go to and could only walk to the town primary school several miles away, so I decided to set up a primary school in the village.
She worked hard for the school and students, and never got married or had children.
She smiled and said,
"These students are all my children! If you don't believe me, go and look at the wall of my office. My children still come back to see us every year!"
She glossed over all the hardships, except for the mention of pride, at which point Teacher Zhang's eyes sparkled with joy.
Nanzhi looked at her deeply, with deep admiration in his heart:
"You are really amazing."
I'm really sorry for updating so late, I was delayed by something unexpected today.
The update will probably be late tomorrow, and will resume at 10 o'clock the day after tomorrow. Chapter 197 Radish Bone Soup
[It turns out that the subsidy is not as much as we thought. Some of it is directly distributed as eggs and milk. Teacher Zhang explained it very clearly.]
[I can see that Teacher Zhang is a sincere and idealistic person. She has devoted her whole life to rural education without getting married or having children. It is really too much to criticize her.]
[I'm impressed! Can these media please stop taking my words out of context! They've even started to repost content that questions Teacher Zhang! ]
[The unscrupulous media is really too much. Have you ever thought about how Teacher Zhang felt when he saw this? ]
[I was skeptical at first, but now I regret it. Some media outlets are really inhumane.]
[Look! The program crew responded so quickly! And their tone was very strong! ]
[There are also official media outlets that directly came out to refute the rumor. I love this speed, hahaha! ]
[I hope Teacher Zhang doesn't see it from beginning to end, so as not to hurt her feelings. ]
…
Teacher Zhang is peeling potatoes carefully.
She is not very agile.
Her eyes, which became increasingly cloudy as she got older, also became a hindrance for her.
After working hard for half a day, she only peeled a dozen potatoes.
But it is many times more tiring than carrying vegetable baskets.
When she thought of the two large baskets of potatoes, she...
Hmm?
Where are the potatoes?
Brush, brush, brush.
A very rhythmic sound came to my ears.
Teacher Zhang's eyes moved, and soon he opened them wide in shock.
Nanzhi's movements, holding the knife in one hand and the potato in the other, were very nonchalant.
She hardly even looked down, but her hands moved so swiftly that they almost left afterimages.
The blade flashed with a sharp light, and the potato skins as thin as cicada wings fell down.
certainly.
This was nothing to Nanzhi.
Potatoes are abundant and cheap, making them the best choice for practicing knife skills.
Every chef's entry into the cooking world involves the death of countless potatoes.
Peeling potatoes is just basic, nothing special.
But in Teacher Zhang's opinion, this may not be the case.
She was so shocked at first that she couldn't speak.
Then, he stammered and asked:
"Teacher Nan, was you a professional potato peeler?"
Nanzhi thought about it carefully and answered,
"A semi-professional chef, maybe."
Because it is not full-time, or even my main job, I use the word semi-professional to describe it...
Well, that makes sense.
[The vast majority of chefs in China fell silent.]
[Boss Nan, Boss Nan, how can I feel when I aspire to become the top chef in China? ]
[If this is considered semi-professional, then all professional chefs can take off their hats. ]
[You are too modest. ]
[Teacher Zhang actually believed it? He just secretly slandered others. Could he be a cunning person? ]
[I can't blame Teacher Zhang for being too naive, I can only say that Nanzhi's tone was too serious. If I hadn't watched the first two live broadcasts, I would have believed it too! ]
…
Teacher Zhang's mind has already automatically replaced it -
"Semi-professional" is equivalent to "amateur".
It is equivalent to "enthusiast".
Teacher Zhang suddenly realized:
"It turns out that Teacher Nan likes to cook."
Nanzhi nodded this time.
It's more than just liking it, it should be said that I love it!
Teacher Zhang suddenly suggested:
"How about Teacher Nan be in charge of one dish for lunch? Today I plan to make two dishes and a soup, stewed potatoes with meat, stir-fried Chinese cabbage, and carrot and bone soup. Teacher Nan, would you choose one?"
After all, it's the first day at school.
Nanzhi did not take on all the dishes, but said:
"Then I will be responsible for the carrot bone soup."
Teacher Zhang nodded seriously:
"It seems that Teacher Nan, your cooking skills are quite good."
"It's all right indeed."
['Cooking skills are OK' Nanzhi! What kind of modern Versailles is this! ]
【Wait for Teacher Zhang to be shocked! 】
[The radish bone soup doesn't seem to be that difficult, I want to see the hard dishes! The big dishes! ]
【Why not just make some Wensi tofu and wow the crowd! 】
[Why are you ordering food here? Don't think Nanzhi is omnipotent! ]
…
There are many ways to eat radish, and different varieties of radish correspond to different cooking methods.
The basket in front of Nanzhi is filled with large white radishes, as thick as a child's arm, and a warm ivory white in color. After peeling, they are crisp, tender, sweet, and have plenty of moisture. They can withstand long stewing and will develop flavor over time, making them very suitable for stewing soup with pork ribs.
The village canteen couldn't afford the expensive lean meat ribs, so they used large bones, with the meat on them almost completely removed, except for two or three small strands.
At most, it can add a hint of meaty flavor to the bland white radish soup, but other than that, it has no other function.
Fortunately, after seeing the few ingredients, Nanzhi had already made a plan in her mind -
She took a kitchen knife and split the bone vertically.
Then use clean water to thoroughly wash away the blood remaining in the bones.
Then, add cold water, onion, ginger and cooking wine and blanch until no trace of blood foam can be seen.
Then stir-fry the large bones in a frying pan, using high temperature to force out the fat in the bones, making the whole thing golden yellow.
At this time, add boiling water and simmer over high heat until the soup turns white. Then cover and simmer until the flavor of the bones is fully stimulated, then add the chopped white radish.
This series of actions was carried out in an orderly manner by Nanzhi.
Teacher Zhang next to him was stunned:
"Cooking carrot bone soup... is it so complicated?"
Nanzhi wondered:
"Hmm? That's complicated?"
Teacher Zhang said as a matter of course:
"Yes, isn't it just a matter of stewing the bones and radishes together?"
Nanzhi had a bad feeling.
Then he looked past Teacher Zhang and saw the chopping board in front of her.
Suddenly, Nanzhi fell into a long silence.
Teacher Zhang wondered:
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
Nanzhi looked at the potatoes of different sizes cut into pieces on the chopping board, as well as the wilted cabbages after being violently washed, and couldn't help but think of Teacher Zhang's boast just now that his "cooking skills are not bad."
Well, maybe they each have a different definition of "good cooking skills"?
Soon, Nanzhi thought he had found a reasonable explanation -
Although it doesn't look good, it's very efficient.
Maybe it tastes good too?
After all, it was Teacher Zhang who was cooking for more than 50 people alone, and she was not a professional chef, so how could she take care of everything?
Yes, that's right, it must be like this.
Nanzhi, who had convinced herself in her heart, went to help Teacher Zhang while the bone soup was stewing.
Although Teacher Zhang was curious about Nanzhi's "complicated" cooking process of radish bone soup, it was not enough to make her doubt her own cooking skills.
She was full of confidence and wanted to show Nanzhi her excellent cooking skills. She said that the students all loved her cooking and smiled happily every time.
Then, Teacher Zhang personally demonstrated what it means to do whatever one wants and what it means to follow one's inspiration.
Nanzhi's voice continued to ring out—
"Wait, can this potato be thrown directly in?"
"Wait, don't you have to fry the pork belly?"
"etc…" Chapter 198 A sentence that makes people feel guilty
Teacher Zhang does not have fixed steps when cooking, it all depends on her sudden inspiration.
But this is the thing that kitchen novices hate the most!
Often when this flash of inspiration comes, it is the moment of failure.
Seeing that the temperature of the iron pot had not yet risen, Teacher Zhang threw the pork belly cut into small pieces into it. He used the iron spatula to stir it twice. The pork did not change color, but Teacher Zhang had already hurriedly poured potatoes into it...
Nanzhi stopped her in time.
Teacher Zhang looked back puzzled:
"What's wrong?"
Nanzhi rubbed his temples feebly:
"Teacher Zhang... has he always cooked like this?"
"Of course not!"
Teacher Zhang answered promptly before Nanzhi had time to breathe a sigh of relief.
Then she continued to answer honestly:
"There were times when I poured the potatoes first and then the meat."
"Is it tasty?"
Nanzhi expressed doubt.
Teacher Zhang thought for a moment and said,
"Not bad, at least the children enjoyed the meal."
"…"
Nanzhi's silent expression made the audience laugh continuously.
[I was originally very depressed by Mr. Zhang's operation, but Nanzhi made me laugh again, hahaha! ]
[Teacher Zhang is really good at acting like me! I cook whatever comes to mind! ]
[I'm really curious, don't you guys look at the recipe? ]
[Why do I need to look at the recipe? I'm a great cook! ]
[The barrage of comments powerfully interprets Mr. Zhang's inner thoughts. ]
[Will children really find it delicious? I doubt it.]
[A child who once walked out of Cuishui Village Primary School will answer you: It's not delicious, but it's all from Teacher Zhang's heart.]
[Wow! Someone actually showed up! How magical! ]
[Well, I saw the news in the class group that Teacher Zhang was on a variety show, so I quickly came to take a look. ]
…
The case is solved.
Teacher Zhang's students personally told everyone the answer.
At the same time, it also aroused everyone's curiosity:
Why is Teacher Zhang so confident?
After a while.
Teacher Zhang probably figured out something from Nanzhi's expression. She said hesitantly,
"Actually, I don't know if it tastes good or not, because I can't taste it."
"Um?"
The truth surprised Nanzhi very much.
She wanted to ask the reason, but felt that it was private and it was not convenient to ask more questions.
It was Teacher Zhang who brought it up because she thought it was no big deal:
"The school environment was bad before. I was hit on the head by a tile falling from the roof. After that, I lost my sense of smell and could hardly taste anything. So, I only felt this way when I saw the children praising my cooking... Are they just trying to coax me?"
The answer is obvious.
It is the kindness of the children that protects Teacher Zhang's confidence in her cooking skills.
When Nanzhi thought of this, her chest felt so tight that she couldn't speak.
She regretted it.
But after thinking about it, I could only say:
"Sorry."
Teacher Zhang roughly understood what was going on, waved his hand nonchalantly, and said with a smile:
"It's okay! Thanks to you for telling me today! Otherwise, I would have really thought that my cooking was delicious, and I don't know how long I would have continued to trouble the children!"
The more relaxed Teacher Zhang's tone was, the more uncomfortable Nanzhi felt.
The same is true for the audience in the live broadcast room:
[My eyes peed, woooo. ]
[Nanzhi regrets it so much, and I regret it too. I shouldn't have laughed at Teacher Zhang for being so confident.]
[For the hundredth time, I want to travel back in time and scold all those who maliciously speculated about Teacher Zhang! ]
[The children probably knew that Teacher Zhang couldn't taste anything, so they concealed it on purpose.]
[The other teachers must have helped keep it a secret. Everyone is doing well and feeling warm inside.]
…
Nanzhi didn't know how to make up for it.
It was Teacher Zhang who saw her guilt and uneasiness, so he took the initiative to say:
"Why don't you teach me how to cook?"
Nanzhi agreed without thinking.
Since we are teaching you how to cook, let's start with this dish of braised pork and potatoes.
Nanzhi did not take the spatula directly, but stood next to Teacher Zhang and directed her.
Teacher Zhang wanted to back off:
"You should do it, I'll just watch from the side."
Nanzhi firmly held her shoulders:
"It's okay, trust me. Start by changing the knife, take out the potatoes and cut them again."
She made the request and Teacher Zhang followed it subconsciously.
Before he knew it, Teacher Zhang had forgotten that he wanted to give up the iron pot, and continued to stand nervously in front of the stove, clumsily chopping vegetables:
"Is this okay?"
Nanzhi nodded and said yes.
Then, she continued to explain in a gentle voice:
"Potatoes can't be cut so big. It's better to cut them into uniform sizes so that they can be evenly flavored..."
"The meat should be stir-fried in advance to bring out the aroma of its fat..."
"The iron pan must be hot enough to prevent it from sticking..."
"Yes, that's it..."
Nanzhi did not use those complicated methods, all the steps are the simplest and easiest to learn.
Coupled with her patience and timely encouragement, Teacher Zhang gradually relaxed and was no longer as tense as before.
Soon, the potatoes and meat in the pot became oily and bright red, and a mellow aroma wafted from the iron pot.
Teacher Zhang can't smell anything.
But just by looking at the potatoes and pork cooked in the pot under Nanzhi's instruction, and comparing it with the bland potatoes and pork that he had made before, it was clear which was better.
Teacher Zhang couldn't help but smile and felt satisfied.
Then he thought of the children who had been "poisoned" by his poor cooking skills, and his satisfaction turned into loss, and even his eyebrows and eyes became a little gloomy.
She took out the roasted potatoes and meat and said,
"It's almost time for lunch. I'll go prepare it first."
Before Nanzhi could say anything, she watched Teacher Zhang's back disappear at the kitchen door.
She sighed and fried the remaining cabbage.
The radish and pork ribs soup was almost done. As soon as the lid of the pot was opened, the delicious aroma of the soup continued to spread around the kitchen.
The students who had just entered the cafeteria smelled it and looked around curiously:
"Hmm? What's that smell? It smells so good!"
"Is this the smell of our school?"
"I'm so hungry!"
"No way, it's also Teacher Zhang who cooked today."
"ah."
"Everyone remember this! You can't say it doesn't taste good!"
"Remember, remember! I won't let Teacher Zhang know!"
"…"
Teacher Zhang just walked out of the cafeteria and heard this.
Her eyes were a little sour, and she felt both self-blame and touched.
In the end, he still pretended to know nothing:
"Children, come and eat! Today we have meat and potatoes!"
When the children heard this, they immediately gathered around happily.
These children are not completely unable to afford meat at home, but their elders live in poverty and are frugal in everything, so they only eat meat once or twice a week at most.
Therefore, being able to eat extra meat at school is something they look forward to every day.
Even though they all knew that the meat cooked by Teacher Zhang was not delicious, they were still happy.
The children all know that Teacher Zhang can't cook many dishes.
Braised pork with potatoes is one of her specialties, and she eats it once or twice a week.
In their impression, the braised pork with potatoes made by Teacher Zhang was not bad, but it was definitely not delicious.
The pork belly that was not stir-fried was very greasy, and the potatoes that were not cooked enough were a little raw.
Fortunately, the taste is not salty, so it is not difficult to swallow.
In other words, the children cherished Teacher Zhang's kindness and the hard-earned food, which is why they always finished eating until not a drop of soup was left.
Just today...
Why does this braised pork with potatoes look different?
The pork belly is cut into small pieces and stir-fried until golden, oily and shiny.
Just by looking at the potatoes, you can tell that they are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The whole potatoes have absorbed the soup and the edges have melted.
Even the soup was thick and fragrant. You can imagine how delicious it would be if mixed with rice!
The children swallowed hard!
They asked Teacher Zhang curiously:
"Is this really meat and potatoes? Why is it different?"
Teacher Zhang explained with a smile:
"This was made by the new teacher Nan."
The children all exclaimed "Wow" in unison.
Just then, Nanzhi came out carrying some fried cabbage.
The bucket was filled with stir-fried cabbage, and Nanzhi had a hard time carrying it, so Teacher Zhang quickly came over to help lift it.
Teacher Zhang saw Nanzhi's hard work and couldn't help but say:
"Why don't you wait for me to move?"
Nanzhi smiled and shook her head. She did not answer, but instead explained what Teacher Zhang had said before:
"I didn't make this stewed pork with potatoes. I just gave some instructions. In fact, it was your teacher Zhang who cooked it himself."
The children listened and were eager to try it out.
Teacher Zhang was anxious:
"How can I take the credit for this?"
Nanzhi asked calmly:
"Is the one cutting the vegetables Teacher Zhang? Is the one frying the meat Teacher Zhang? Is the one standing by the pot Teacher Zhang?"
Teacher Zhang couldn't refute a single word.
Moreover, Nanzhi was already calling the children to come and get the food.
The children began to line up spontaneously, jumping up and down, wanting to eat the freshly made potatoes and pork by Teacher Zhang. The scene was very lively.
There was no chance for Teacher Zhang to explain at all.
There was no choice, so Teacher Zhang had to go back to the kitchen to serve soup and rice.
It was at this time that Qi Pei'er came over.
Before coming to the cafeteria, she had just heard two colleagues remind her that the dishes in the cafeteria were made by Teacher Zhang, and that she had a poor sense of taste, so the dishes might be a little lacking, and asked her to be more tolerant.
Qi Pei'er was touched by her colleagues' kindness to Teacher Zhang.
But here's the thing…
During the previous half month at Nan's Restaurant, Qi Pei'er ate the employee meals prepared by Nanzhi every day, and her taste had already become very picky!
So much so that during the break after the filming was paused, everything I ate tasted like chewing wax.
The round and rosy face she had maintained at Nan's Restaurant had been shrunken into a melon-shaped face.
Even when she attended events, fans in the audience kept asking her if she was losing weight.
lose weight?
Hehe, if she could eat Nanzhi's cooking every day, would she be willing to gain 200 pounds?
She is thin simply because she can't eat!
This is a hundred times more painful than losing weight!
Now, Qi Pei'er is looking forward to the start of the show, and her biggest wish is to have a small meal.
She doesn't ask for much, just a bite every now and then is enough.
I was lucky this morning and had millet porridge and egg pancakes from Nanzhi.
Because there were too many people eating, they were only given half a bowl of millet porridge and half an egg pancake.
But for Qi Pei'er, who had no appetite for half a month, this was like heaven!
So now I tell her that the food in the cafeteria might not be very good?
Qi Pei'er's mood quickly dropped.
My back, which had been straightened up because of the smooth music class, collapsed when I heard the news.
Looking at her back from a distance, one can read thousands of words of melancholy, sadness, and loss...
"Zhizhi!"
The moment the familiar figure came into her sight, Qi Pei'er's eyes lit up immediately!
She rushed to Nanzhi excitedly:
"Did you cook the dish?"
The students queuing up happened to be the ones who had just taken Qi Pei'er's music class.
Out of love for Teacher Qi, she kindly explained:
"No, it was Teacher Zhang who cooked the meal."
Click, click.
It was the sound of Qi Pei'er's little heart breaking.
Nanzhi reached out and helped Qi Peier:
"Are you okay?"
Qi Pei'er tried to smile:
"It's okay, it's okay."
A completely soulless smile and response.
Nanzhi raised her eyebrows slightly, as if she could see what Qi Peier was regretting.
She did not directly tell the truth, but said meaningfully:
"Today's lunch should taste good."
"Of course, of course."
Still a soulless smile and answer.
However, Qi Pei'er knew what was important.
The emotion only lasted for a short while, and she soon cheered up and asked Nanzhi:
"Do you need help?"
Nanzhi said no.
There are only more than 50 people in the entire school, including teachers. It doesn't take long to get meals, and Nanzhi and Teacher Zhang are enough.
Qi Pei'er nodded obediently, then took the cutlery, walked around to the end of the line, and started queuing up honestly.
It just so happened that Teacher Zhang came out with a small cart carrying rice and a huge bucket of soup.
If you look closely, you can see the greasy look on Teacher Zhang's lips and his slightly intoxicated eyes.
Nanzhi couldn't help laughing:
"Teacher Zhang, how does the radish soup taste?"
"Of course it's a delicacy! Ah...ah, I didn't drink it secretly."
Teacher Zhang realized later that she had been exposed, and quickly used work to ease her embarrassment and stopped talking.
Nanzhi deliberately teased seriously:
"That's wrong, Mr. Zhang. You can't call a chef stealing drinks. You call him tasting the food."
Teacher Zhang was shocked:
"Oh, yes, food tasting! Food tasting!"
Next, Nanzhi was responsible for serving the dishes, and Teacher Zhang was responsible for serving the rice and ladling the soup.
Although Mr. Zhang is not a great cook, he is very efficient in his work. Not a grain of rice or a drop of soup is left out during the whole process.
However, practice makes perfect. It is not surprising that Teacher Zhang performs so well as he has worked part-time as a chef in the student cafeteria for so many years.
What is surprising is Nanzhi, whose movements are so skillful that one doubts her profession.
[I'm curious, do you students who are studying to be chefs also have to learn how to serve food in the cafeteria? ]
[What are you thinking about? We are learning to be a chef, not the 100 application scenarios of a chef! ]
[Since the first episode, I have been curious about Nanzhi's past experiences... Why is it that someone is so skilled at setting up a stall, opening a restaurant, and running a canteen! ]
[If it were someone else, I would question it, but for Nanzhi, well, this makes sense! ]
[It's said that Nanzhi is born with the talent of a chef, and all chef-related skills are automatically activated! So don't waste time in the boring entertainment industry! Go and shine in the chef world! ]
[Now I understand why some people say Nanzhi is a max-level boss. 】 Chapter 200 Are you missing a sister?
The children who had prepared their meals sat down one after another.
Seeing that the appearance was obviously different from the previous stewed potatoes with pork, they were curious but did not hold out much hope.
Who can blame Mr. Zhang for his stewed pork with potatoes?
Because there was no expectation, when the pork belly entered the mouth, the impact on the tip of the tongue was more direct!
After the pork belly is stir-fried to squeeze out the fat, it becomes fragrant but not greasy, and is stewed until it is soft and rotten, retaining a little bit of the burnt aroma while melting in your mouth when you bite into it.
The potatoes are so soft and fluffy that they can hardly be picked up with chopsticks. Spread them on the rice, the joy of carbohydrates plus carbohydrates is doubled!
Its soup is the essence of the essence. When mixed with potatoes and rice, the taste is beyond imagination!
So, the children went from being slow at the beginning to eating like crazy later on.
The little heads buried in their rice bowls vividly illustrate how delicious the braised potatoes with pork are!
Of course, they didn't forget the stir-fried cabbage and radish bone soup.
To be honest, the sales of these two dishes are far inferior to that of pork and potatoes.
It looks bland, and it's a dish that children eat every day at home, so it's naturally not as attractive as braised potatoes with meat.
They just vaguely smelled a fragrance that was different from their memory, and tried to pick up a piece with chopsticks and put it into their mouths.
Suddenly, pairs of eyes opened wide, and even the soul seemed to be shocked!
Thanks to Nanzhi's perfect control of the heat, the stir-fried Chinese cabbage is fresh, sweet, crispy, tender and very tasty.
For example, this kind of pure natural green vegetable grown in the mountains, the ingredients themselves have already won over most of the others. When Nanzhi stir-fried it, she not only retained the original flavor of the ingredients, but also magnified the original flavor dozens or even hundreds of times like a craftsman polishing a rough jade!
The children didn't have many adjectives, and their minds were full of the word "delicious"!
They couldn't help but drink another mouthful of carrot soup.
Radish is suitable to be paired with ingredients with strong flavors. Although it is bland on its own, it is good at absorbing the flavors of other ingredients and sublimating them.
But the radish soup in the village canteen used to have bones in it, but because there were too few bones in it, it didn't taste like meat at all, and instead had a bit of fishy taste.
Therefore, children have a bad preconceived impression of radish soup, and even think that radish soup will not taste good.
Until the bowl of carrot soup in front of them completely shattered their perceptions!
I'm tired of saying fresh, sweet, juicy, etc.
For the first time in their lives, the children found that radish was so delicious and had such a rich flavor!
The seemingly light soup had only the ultimate umami taste when it entered their mouths, which formed a sharp contrast with the richness of the potatoes and meat, and was also different from the crisp sweetness of the stir-fried Chinese cabbage.
"It's delicious!"
"Is this dish also made by Teacher Zhang?"
"No, it seems to be done by the new teacher Nan!"
"Can I go get another bowl?"
"I've never tasted such delicious carrot soup! It's ten times better than the one my grandfather made!"
"I want to eat in the cafeteria every day and don't want to go home for meals!"
"…"
The biggest surprise was Qi Pei'er in the corner.
She was ready for this mediocre meal.
After entering, her expression gradually relaxed and brightened, even her hair revealed joy!
This familiar delicacy! It must have been made by Nanzhi! She knows!
Qi Pei'er's appetite instantly opened up, and she gulped down the carrot soup in one gulp. Her entire body, from mouth to stomach, was extremely satisfied, and the emptiness she had felt from being hungry for the past half month was completely satisfied!
"Burp! It tastes good!"
Qi Pei'er squinted her eyes contentedly, wishing she could go back and have 10 more bowls of carrot soup!
She was about to stand up, but when she saw the children around her eating happily, she forced herself to sit back down.
How could she have the nerve to compete with these children? She felt guilty!
But...
"Xiao Zhang! Zhang Zhang!"
Qi Pei'er seemed to have seen a savior and hurriedly waved to Qi Zhang who had just arrived.
She did not forget Nan Yi beside Qi Zhang and waved with a smile:
"Yiyi, come and sit down quickly!"
The two children walked towards her obediently.
Nan Yi probably just met his mother. He looked very happy, with smiles on his eyes and brows, looking like a sweet and obedient boy.
He first called out "Aunt Qi" and then climbed onto the chair and sat down.
Qi Pei'er couldn't wait to share:
"Today's meal is made by your mother. It's super delicious!"
Nan Yi nodded calmly:
"Yeah, I smelled it."
Qi Pei'er was a little overwhelmed by the head-on impact.
You can tell it's Nanzhi's craftsmanship as soon as you smell it…
How many meals made by Nanzhi must one eat to gain this experience!
She also wanted to have such a wonderful and happy experience!
After thinking for a while, Qi Peier said solemnly:
"Yi Yi, do you need a sister? Or a younger sister will do."
She almost had the words "What do you think of me" written on her face!
Nan Yi actually saw through her intentions.
He stared at Qi Pei'er, pursing his lips in displeasure:
"don't want."
That was such a resolute statement!
Qi Pei'er silently shed wide noodles tears, regretting that she had forgotten that Nan Yi was a typical mother-protecting demon.
If I want to compete with him for my mother, wouldn't that be like asking for trouble?
Quietly retracting the thought that "I shouldn't have that", Qi Pei'er turned to look at her silly and cheerful little nephew.
She dragged out her tone:
"Xiao Zhangzhang, auntie remembers that you don't like eating radishes?"
Qi Zhang raised his innocent face and bit his chopsticks:
"Is there?"
As he said this, he happily ate a large piece of radish.
Qi Peier: ...
Who is the guy at home who is crying and making a fuss about not wanting to eat radishes?
Why is it completely different after coming here?
Oh, that's not right.
When I was at Nanjia Restaurant, no matter what I liked or disliked at home, I loved it. All my picky eating habits disappeared!
So, the child is picky about food not because of other reasons, but simply because he thinks it doesn't taste good?
Qi Pei'er did not give up:
"Give Auntie some soup, she drank it too fast just now and I couldn't figure out what it tasted like."
She looked pitiful.
Qi Zhang firmly protected his soup bowl:
"no!"
Qi Pei'er looked even more pitiful:
"I am your aunt who took great pains to raise you."
Qi Zhang was a little shaken.
After struggling, he carefully picked up a finger-sized piece of radish from the soup bowl and said,
"For your aunt."
Qi Pei'er was speechless.
Finally, he ate the radish with tears in his eyes:
"...Thank you, Xiao Zhang."
[Laughing to death hahaha! ]
[Qi Pei'er, can you stand up a little bit! If this continues, we will be embarrassed to tell others that we are your fans! ]
[I would do the same thing. I've been to Nan's Restaurant and can totally imagine what this tastes like! ]
[Who said that opening a small restaurant in the mountains is a dead end? If I open one in Nanzhi today, I will fly there and live there permanently tomorrow! ]
…
