Chapter 11
Hong Sheng was shocked all of a sudden, and immediately asked the staff member who had received the GoPro from the purchasing team to export the video content.
The 500 yuan given by the program team was not a deliberate attempt to make things difficult for them, but they did not expect Yan Tingxuan to write down so many high-quality ingredients with just a wave of his hand.
But You Mian unexpectedly found another way and perfectly resolved this potential dilemma.
Hong Sheng stood behind the camera and quickly flipped through the recording of You Mian and Pei Huaiji in the supermarket. Finally, when he saw You Mian teasing Pei Huaiji with a box of mint candies, he finally couldn't help laughing out loud.
This Youmian is so interesting!
It was a rare opportunity to see Pei Huaiji being so humiliated, and Hong Sheng felt overwhelmed with joy.
But then again, Hong Sheng carefully observed every frame of the video and had to admit that the collision of hormones when You Mian and Pei Huaiji appeared on the show at the same time was something that the other guests in the room did not have.
Their interactions were relaxed and interesting, with interactions that made people smile from time to time.
Pei Huaiji spoke coldly, but was also glad that You Mian was not afraid of him. He felt at ease and indifferent as he let Pei Huaiji hold the GoPro all the way.
Hong Sheng rubbed his face and made up his mind to have another chat with Pei Huaiji.
He didn't want to waste such great material.
——
At the seaside dining table.
Pei Huaiji looked at You Mian and asked, "Do you also speak Italian?"
You Mian handed the home court to Ana Shen and stepped back, lightly uncovered it, and said, “I just watched a few mafia movies, and I scared you too?”
Pei Huaiji frowned slightly, clearly looking unconvinced.
Ana Shen stood behind the simple and clean cooking table and tore open the vacuum packaging bag of the veal steak with one hand, and smiled apologetically at Yan Tingxuan, “It seems that Yan Tingxuan’s identity as the chef tonight has been taken away by me.”
Then he said to You Mian, "Did you buy the veal steak so that I can make Osso buco?"
You Mian said, "Brother Chen, you are the chef, you have the final say."
Just as You Mian finished speaking, Pei Huaiji asked quietly from behind him, "Is there stewed veal shanks in Italian mafia movies?"
You Mian: “…”
Ana Shen pursed her lips and said happily: “It’s not impossible.”
You Mian: “.”
You Mian raised his hand and touched the tip of his nose, then hastily turned his eyes away from the cooking table.
Bai Lin, who had just come up with a bunch of ideas, now felt like someone was strangling him by the neck. He couldn't utter a word, his face turned a dull red, and he looked embarrassed and uneasy.
How could that be? How could You Mian buy so many ingredients when the budget given by the program team was insufficient?
So Bai Lin asked with a hoarse voice and a smile: "Are you guys kidding us? How can we buy so many things with a limited budget?"
Everyone's eyes shifted to You Mian again.
Seeing that You Mian didn't answer, Bai Lin thought he had guessed correctly, and hurriedly asked, "How much money did the production team give you?"
You Mian raised his eyelids and glanced at Bai Lin.
The gaze was cold and without any warmth, as if anyone who was looked at by You Mian with such eyes would become a clown in front of him.
But Bai Lin was unwilling to give up. He still stared at You Mian stubbornly. If You Mian didn't say anything, he would go to see Pei Huaiji.
"Boss Pei, you and You Mian are in the same team, so you should know the budget, right?"
Bai Lin's relentless questioning was captured completely by the camera, but he didn't want to care at the moment.
Pei Huaiji didn't beat around the bush and said calmly, "Five hundred."
There was a sound of inhalation at the scene.
“Five hundred? You bought these ingredients for five hundred?” Ana Shen’s eyes widened and he couldn’t believe it. “This is impossible.”
Pei Huaiji turned sideways and looked at the cooking table. "Nothing is impossible. The ingredients are all here."
Pei Huaiji's patience ran out after being questioned, so his face became as cold as usual.
Only Guan Tong kept praising excitedly: "Damn, You Mian you are awesome!"
You Mian looked at Guan Tong with a helpless smile, and the next second he saw Guan Tong covering his mouth and looking at the camera pitifully.
Guan Tong made a pair of scissors with his fingers and said, "Cut it off, cut it off!"
——
Yan Tingxuan stood beside the cooking table and listened silently, and suddenly realized that he was out of place here.
Guan Tong chatted with You Mian in a chattering manner, and while chatting he also leaned over to Shen Nanxiao to help wash the vegetables.
The responsibility of cooking fell on Ana Shen’s shoulders.
Yan Tingxuan admitted that he knew very little about Italian cuisine, so at the moment he could only stand aside and be unable to participate in the cooking.
Yan Tingxuan walked to the sink carrying a bowl of black truffles, but his eyes couldn't help but glance at You Mian and Pei Huaiji sitting at the dining table.
When did they become so familiar with each other?
Yan Tingxuan had guessed in advance what You Mian's reaction would be when she met him on the show.
It could be a continuation of the previous confusion and helplessness, or it could be that he was desperately begging me to talk to him again, or maybe he was thinking about it a little more harshly.
There is also a possibility that You Mian will question himself on the show after a breakdown.
The last one is the worst. Yan Tingxuan has handled the first two situations very skillfully over the years.
But just before the filming of the show started, Yan Tingxuan had prepared everything, but when he pushed open the door of the cabin, all his expectations were completely overturned.
You Mian's gaze no longer lingered on him.
No more questions, no more attempts to persuade him to stay.
Even though Yan Tingxuan's mind was in turmoil at this moment, his hands were still preparing the ingredients in an orderly manner, and he continued to listen to the leisurely chatting of a group of people behind him.
The bubbles of boiling water in the pot burst and shattered one by one.
Yan Tingxuan didn't know what exactly happened in You Jiyuan's study that day. He tried to ask several times afterwards, but You Jiyuan didn't reveal a single word.
On that day, Wang Mao, the steward of the You family, was also very angry. He exaggerated and told You Jiyuan many of You Mian's faults.
But these were not what Yan Tingxuan wanted to know. He just wanted to know why You Mian suddenly turned against You Jiyuan.
The changes in You Mian now must be due to that day.
Even at Bai Lin's coming-of-age ceremony when he returned to the You family, You Mian chose to remain silent.
It's been two years, why did it happen at this time?
Is it because of the equity of 'Xiuming'?
Yan Tingxuan's men were cutting and arranging the dishes skillfully, unaware that his face had turned cold.
Lost in his own thoughts, Yan Tingxuan certainly could not notice the look that Yun Guanqing, who was sitting behind the dining table, was staring at You Mian.
The man's eyes were filled with strong interest and vicious questioning.
Amidst the leisurely chat, Yun Guanqing suddenly asked, "Since the supermarket you went to even had Italian wine like Marsala, why didn't you buy any French ingredients?"
The moment Yun Guanqing asked this question, Shen Nanxiao happened to put the steak in the hot pan to roast.
The sizzling sound of hot oil and the faint smoke blurred Yun Guanqing's voice. Only You Mian, who was sitting diagonally opposite him, could hear it clearly.
The boy's right hand was resting on the table, his fingers were white and slender.
Facing Yun Guanqing's questioning, You Mian said without turning his head: "Because the movie I watched was an Italian mafia movie, not a French one."
Yun Guanqing grinned and laughed softly.
"Huh?" Yun Guanqing narrowed his eyes and leaned closer to the table, saying, "You Mian, are you sure you want to play word games with me?"
It wasn't an illusion. This adopted young master was much more interesting than Bai Lin.
A white rabbit or a fox disguised as a white rabbit is not very interesting and can only sustain Yun Guanqing's curiosity for more than a month.
But the bird in front of us trying to break through the fence and cage is really interesting.
You Mian didn't say anything, using silence to express his attitude.
Yun Guanqing's eyes swept over Yan Tingxuan who was standing behind the cooking table.
Then he looked at Pei Huaiji, who had just been called away by the staff for an interview.
Finally, he turned around and glanced at Huo Yanzhi, who was being dragged by Bai Lin, who was obviously in a bad mood, to the beach to play in the water.
"It's only been a day, have you and Pei Huaiji become very familiar with each other?" Yun Guanqing asked with a smile.
In fact, it was not only Pei Huaiji, Yun Guanqing also keenly noticed Huo Yanzhi's dodging and Yan Tingxuan's contemplation.
In just one day, You Mian actually affected the emotions of so many people.
"How on earth did you do it?" Yun Guanqing had to stretch out his hand to hook You Mian's fingers across an extremely large porcelain table.
You Mian frowned and pulled his hand away.
"Yun Guanqing." You Mian said coldly.
Yun Guanqing wrinkled his nose and said, "You can't even touch me? You're such a stingy guy."
You Mian frowned fiercely and looked at Yun Guanqing who was diagonally opposite him. The original book mentioned Yun Guanqing's bad character and sharp tongue, and also mentioned that such a man only showed his preference for Bai Lin.
