[Su Yanxi, the guest of this episode.] The system knew that Tong Juan was face-blind and could not match names with faces, so it introduced him kindly, [a new actor who just won the Golden Feather Award last year.]
【Thanks】
Tong Juan sniffed and greeted Su Yanxi: "Hello, Brother Yanxi, I am Tong Juan."
Su Yanxi is six years older than Tong Juan. He made his debut last year and played a young prince in a historical drama, winning the Golden Feather Award for Best New Actor. He has a very standard actor's appearance, with three-dimensional facial features, sharp eyebrows, and long eyelashes that make his eyes look gentle and affectionate.
He himself is a rare handsome guy. After looking at his face for a long time, he finds that few people catch his eye. Moreover, many celebrities' faces now have obvious traces of manual work. But Tong Juan is different. Based on his many years of experience, Tong Juan's face is absolutely natural.
Su Yanxi was really amazed, "Hello, hello, you are much prettier in person than in the photo."
He said this sincerely. Before coming, he had searched for Tong Juan on Weibo and looked at a few of his fan photos. He had no interest in the dazzling stage looks.
But now seeing Tong Juan in person, her skin was as white as jade, her eye sockets and cheeks were a little red, her big eyes were watery, her chin was just that small, and she was as pretty as a doll.
Her face looks white and soft, with a little pink, like a peach.
Su Yanxi's mind started to wander.
Tong Juan was actually blushing because of Su Yanxi's stare. This guy has beautiful eyes, and when he looks at people with a smile, he has a deep affection buff.
"Brother Yanxi...you..."
If you have nothing to do, why not go in and sit down? The eggs in his basket are quite heavy.
"Juanjuan, what are you doing there?" Wang Rusi came out of the house and was a little surprised to see more people in the yard: "Hey, you're here."
He immediately stopped and shouted into the house: "Zong Mo, your grandson is here!"
Grandson???
Tong Juan's face was full of question marks.
[In the drama that Su Yanxi won the award for, Zong Mo played the young Emperor □□, so it's not wrong to say that he was his grandson.]
When Zong Mo heard that it was an acquaintance, he immediately came out in slippers. When he saw Su Yanxi, he immediately laughed: "Yanxi, it's you!"
Tong Juan could feel that he was more sincere than when he came, and he didn't have the heart to interrupt, but his hands were really hurting and he couldn't lift them anymore. "Where should I put the eggs?"
"Put it in the kitchen." Wang Rusi came over and looked at the number of eggs. "Okay, these should be enough. Be careful not to break them."
"Hey, kid, what's wrong with your hand?" When Wang Rushi raised his eyes, he found a conspicuous red mark on the fair hand.
"The chicken kissed me with its mouth." Tong Juan couldn't find a suitable adjective and said a little depressed.
"Is it bleeding?" Wang Rusi looked down at Tong Juan's hand, and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that it was just a minor scrape. He first took Tong Juan to wash the back of his hand, and then took him to find a medical kit.
"Fortunately there is no bleeding, just disinfect it." Wang Rusi took out iodine and used a cotton ball to gently wipe the wound on Tong Juan's hand. "It will be a little painful, just bear with it."
When the cotton ball touched the wound on the back of his hand, Tong Juan felt as if the skin of his entire hand was being pulled up, and a sharp pain shot straight to his head.
His tears fell instantly, hitting the lid of the medicine box and forming a puddle of water.
"I'm sorry..." Tong Juan apologized hurriedly.
"Silly boy, why are you apologizing?"
After Wang Rusi wiped Tong Juan's hand with iodine, he looked down carefully and made sure there was no problem before putting gauze on it.
"That's good."
"Yeah." Tong Juan nodded, and because he had been crying, his voice was still a little nasal, "Thank you, senior."
When the two returned to the living room, the three of them sat together talking and laughing.
"Juanjuan, come here, your brother Yanxi brought milk tea." Wang Rushi saw Tong Juan coming out and patted the cushion beside him.
There is a huge coffee table in the living room of the B&B, which is about 20 to 30 centimeters high. Usually everyone sits cross-legged next to it.
"Juanjuan is sensible. She only ordered egg custard and went to touch a few eggs." Zong Mo said, "Unlike Yanxi, who ordered sweet and sour fish and has to go fishing later."
"What?" Su Yanxi almost thought he had misheard, "You have to catch the fish yourself?"
"Yes, do it yourself, and you will have enough food and clothing." Zong Mo took a sip of tea, "There is a fishing rod in the utility room, take it and go to the reservoir behind to catch one."
"Teacher Zong, your family is rich enough to own a reservoir, can't you go out and buy one?" Su Yanxi was still struggling.
"My family just has a reservoir, and I don't have any money. You can buy it by scanning your face."
Su Yanxi sighed silently and compromised: "Then should I go now?"
"Go ahead." Zong Mo looked at Su Yanxi, then at Tong Juan, "If Juan Juan feels bored, he can go with him."
Tong Juan didn't react: "?"
"How about this." Zong Mo turned to look at Lu Yu again, "Xiao Lu, how about you take your brothers to go fishing? We don't have anything to do here, and you haven't gone out to play for a long time."
Lu Yu had never left the house since he came here, so he naturally agreed: "Okay!"
So the three of them picked up their fishing rods and went to the reservoir behind the house.
The reservoir is not very big, but it houses live fish that are much fresher than those outside.
Three small benches were placed in a row on the shore next to the reservoir. Su Yanxi sat in the middle, and Tong Juan and Lu Yu sat on his left and right.
Lu Yu was afraid that everyone would be embarrassed by not talking, so he took the initiative to find a topic: "Have you ever fished before?"
Su Yanxi: “No.”
Tong Juan shook his head and looked at the motionless fishing rod, a little worried: "Can we really catch it?"
"Maybe..." Lu Yu was not sure, "I haven't fished before."
“You’ve never fished before?” Su Yanxi was extremely surprised. Lu Yu had been recording the show here for such a long time, but he had never fished before?
“Because the guests know that they have to catch their own fish, they don’t just order fish when they order.”
Su Yanxi: “…”
Stop cursing, stop cursing, he knows he has dug a hole for himself.
Tong Juan laughed, a very light laugh, but it was heard by the two people next to him.
"What are you laughing at?" Su Yanxi picked up the fishing rod, "If I can't catch any fish, I won't have anything to eat tonight."
"You can have egg custard." Tong Juan said generously, not minding at all to share the dishes he ordered with others.
"Do you like this?"
Egg custard is a very common home-cooked dish. Is there really anyone willing to travel across half of China just to have a bite of egg custard here?
Tong Juan nodded: "Yes, I have been busy with my schedule recently and haven't been home for a long time. I am a little craving for food."
“I see.”
The fishing process was very long. The three of them went from awkward chatting at the beginning to looking at each other in silence. I don’t know how long it took, Lu Yu couldn’t sit still anymore: "Are you two playing games?"
"What game?" Su Yanxi took out his cell phone.
"The three of us, let's eat chicken, okay? No match."
Su Yanxi nodded.
Tong Juan had never heard of it before: "Eat...what."
"You've never played it?" Lu Yu asked back.
"No……"
"Then I'll help you with the next one."
The WiFi of the homestay could not be connected at the reservoir, and the signal was extremely poor. Tong Juan’s phone had not finished downloading the game until the fish were caught.
Lu Yu had no choice but to return the phone to him: "Play after dinner."
When the three of them returned to the B&B, Zong Mo told them the bad news: "Teacher Wang went to the office. It seems that something happened. He has to go to a meeting. I don't know when he will be back."
Lu Yu: “Then the meal…”
“Not yet.”
Su Yanxi: “…”
"Then shall we just starve for now?" There was a crack on Lu Yu's expression.
Zong Mo sighed: "It seems so."
There was silence for a moment.
After a while, Tong Juan said weakly: "I can do it, do you want to..."
The three men looked over at the same time.
"Can you do it?" Zong Mo looked at Tong Juan's face, somewhat unconvinced.
Lu Yu asked with concern: "Is your hand okay?"
"I don't need my left hand to cook." Tong Juan rolled up his sleeves and walked towards the kitchen. "What do you want to eat?"
An hour later, there were six more dishes on the table.
"When will Teacher Wang come back?" Lu Yu stood in front of the bowl rack, not knowing how many bowls to take. "There are still guests? Why haven't they arrived yet?"
"Just serve us some first." Zong Mo swallowed his saliva. The food made by Tong Juan was so delicious. He was so hungry.
After the four of them sat down, Zong Mo lowered his head and sniffed. The mature man apologized to Tong Juan like a child: "I'm sorry, classmate Juan Juan. I shouldn't have doubted your cooking skills just now."
"It's okay." Tong Juan said shyly, "Teacher Zong, please try it and see if it suits everyone's taste."
"good!"
Seeing that all three people had picked up some food, Tong Juan couldn't help but get nervous and subconsciously bit the chopsticks on his lips. Except for the egg custard, these dishes were all made for the first time, and he didn't know if the recipes given by the system would be useful.
The three of them had already planned to pretend that whatever Tong Juan cooked was delicious, but when they actually put the dish into their mouths, the fragrant and tender texture instantly captured their taste buds.
The egg custard was smooth and melted in the mouth. The sweet and sour fish was full of juice, fresh and tender. The rest of the dishes were also outstanding, with good color, aroma and taste.
"Tong Juan, you are so awesome." Zong Mo was completely convinced.
"It's really delicious." Lu Yu picked up each dish one by one, "Teacher Wang, can the meeting continue until the evening?"
"You kid." Zong Mo laughed and scolded, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Tong Juan finally felt relieved. He took a spoon and scooped a spoonful of egg custard into his mouth, then squinted his eyes with satisfaction.
Su Yanxi tasted a bite of the fish meat, then scooped a few spoonfuls of soup with the rice and ate it. "It's amazing. This soup is so delicious."
"How can the rice be cooked so deliciously?" Zong Mo sighed, "I have lived for forty years and I still don't have this skill."
Tong Juan blushed and lowered his head to drink the soup silently.
"Why don't you stay and cook for us?" Zong Mo said.
"Huh?" Tong Juan was a little scared.
"I think it's okay. Three people is still a bit too few for our B&B." Lu Yu agreed.
"Three people is not a small number." Zong Mo smiled slightly, "Switch you away and bring Juan Juan in."
Lu Yu: “???”
Zong Mo added: "You are such a big kid, but you can't even cook. You are worse than your brother."
Lu Yu: “…”
You are over 40 and you can’t do it either, right?
"I think this is a good idea." Su Yanxi also followed suit, "Juanjuan and I will stay here together, and Xiaolu can go back to filming. He is so young and must be busy with work."
“You guys!” Lu Yu covered his chest with his hands hurt. Seeing that no one reacted, he simply turned his anger into appetite, “Since that’s the case, I won’t show you mercy!”
Tong Juan stared blankly at the three people who had snatched up all the food. It was so fast that he only blinked and the plate was empty. He stammered, "You... aren't you going to leave some for Teacher Wang?"
The three people were petrified instantly.
"Ahem." Zong Mo said unnaturally, "Let him fend for himself. The food will be cold by the time he comes back. How can our teacher Wang eat leftovers?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Rusi pushed the door open and asked, "What leftovers?"
Zong Mo: “…”
Oh no, it's over.
The author has something to say: Some people eat the food made by Tong Juan, and some people sleep with Tong Juan at night
Some people are still studying for their liberal arts exams at 9pm (pointing and talking)
