Lan Xin also suggested having a barbecue in the botanical garden, and asked students to form groups and bring food and equipment.
When Huaxu heard that his classmates were going to have a barbecue on their spring outing, he frowned.
As a skin care expert, Huaxu seldom joins in the fun of barbecue fumes. Eating barbecue is still acceptable, but making barbecue by yourself, the feeling of having every pore of the body covered with the smell of tar after sitting for a while is simply annoying.
After Zhou Xiu found out, he patted Huaxu's head and said, "It's okay if we don't have to barbecue, let's have a picnic. What would Xuxu like to eat?"
The behind-the-scenes reports always show a bunch of desserts. After thinking for a moment, Zhou Xiu listed the ingredients to be prepared for the spring outing.
Du Feiyang and Yu Qingyan had eaten the dishes made by Zhou Xiu at Huaxu's house last time, and they quickly raised their hands to sign up to join Huaxu and Zhou Xiu's group.
Xu Qing said: "I don't want to eat barbecue either. I want to be in the same group with Xiuxiu."
Tan Ming, who was left alone, hesitated awkwardly for a long time before he said, "I want one too."
So Zhou Xiu distributed the food and tools that each person should bring, and everyone discussed it for a while. Tan Ming was stunned and gradually frowned:
Do you have to carry things for a spring outing these days? How heavy is that?
He simply said, "You don't have to carry the tableware and ingredients. I can have them delivered. It's okay to prepare a little more."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xiu unceremoniously doubled the length of the list.
On the day of the spring outing, Zhou Xiu only carried scissors, tweezers, transparent tape, purified water and other props needed for collecting specimens in her schoolbag.
After the large group arrived at the barbecue garden, Tan Ming's driver delivered the things over. A few people moved away from the smoky barbecue area, picked a picnic spot and spread out all their food.
Zhou Xiu searched around and found an apron. She opened the plastic bag, put on the apron, and started to have a picnic.
Tan Ming saw Zhou Xiu wearing the apron he had prepared for her. It was a pink and white rabbit. The tender pink color diluted the coldness of Zhou Xiu.
The resulting contrast is so cute that it makes people stare blankly for a few seconds.
Tan Ming looked at it for a few seconds and turned his head away silently.
Du Feiyang couldn't help but praise it when he saw it: "The apron is so cute."
A smile spread across Xu Qing's lips.
Huaxu was so tired that he sat down on the ground, otherwise he would definitely not be able to help but rub Zhou Xiu's head.
Zhou Xiu skillfully set up the stove and placed a layer of green and red peppers, enoki mushrooms, mushrooms, and white clams on the bottom of the pot. She took out the fresh fish that had been marinated in advance and put it in another pot and stir-fried it. Wait until the fish is fried until both sides are golden brown, then turn it over and place it on the green and red peppers and enoki mushrooms.
Zhou Xiu unscrewed a bottle of beer and slowly poured it into the pot. The light yellow liquid covered the fish.
The wheat beer is boiled over a high fire and evaporates, giving off a rich malt aroma mixed with the aroma of the ingredients, making people's appetite whet.
The two boys were cutting fruits, Xu Qing was slowly cutting and stir-frying vegetables, Huaxu and Yu Qingyan were cooking tapioca pearls, stewing snow pears, and stewing glutinous rice wine according to Zhou Xiu's instructions.
By the time other poor students in the class finally solved the century-old problem of "charcoal not burning", Du Feiyang and his classmates were already happily eating beer and Hehua fish dry pot.
In addition to making a Hehua fish hotpot, Zhou Xiu also stewed tofu and mixed vegetable soup, spicy crayfish, finger-licking grilled wings, and cold lemon chicken feet.
Many ingredients are prepared in advance, saving the trouble of washing, cutting and marinating. You can just throw them into the pot and cook them, which is very convenient.
When Lan Xin came to see Zhou Xiu's group's sumptuous lunch, she was stunned.
The audience happily drank the mango sago made by Zhou Xiu herself. Zhou Xiu also made double skin milk, snow pear stewed with rock sugar, and glutinous rice balls with wine.
Du Feiyang was so spicy from the crayfish that he gasped and asked, "Do you have any ice cubes?"
"Xiu Xiu brought it. Look through her schoolbag."
Du Feiyang broke off four ice cubes from the thermos and threw them into the glass bottle with a thud, creating a beautiful sound.
He shook the bottle and said, "Arts and Culture Committee member, would you like a bowl of rice dumplings with fermented glutinous rice?"
They picked a piece of open space with a good view and spread the tablecloth on it. Stoves and pots were neatly placed beside it. Looking up, they saw the surrounding mountains, and looking down, they saw delicious beer, exquisite desserts and fruits.
As the sun rose higher, the mist in the mountains gradually dissipated. The air was mixed with the faint fragrance of flowers, and the birds chirped in the woods, which was really pleasant.
Huatsu ate a bowl of dessert and couldn't help squinting his eyes. He cut and shuffled the playing cards fluently and ate and played with several friends in the same group.
After Lan Xin saw Zhou Xiu's group's layout, she was almost stunned.
Why is it that even though they are carrying so many things, they look like they are here to suffer, while in the behind-the-scenes footage they look like they are here for vacation?
It's like living in two different worlds. Their hands-on ability is too strong, isn’t it?
"Is it because Zhou Xiu is a few months older than us?"
The college student who worked hard for a long time and was outshined in an instant said that age was not to blame.
They couldn't help but sigh: "Today's middle school students are really amazing."
They seemed to be on a normal spring outing, but the group of middle school students next door looked like they were here to film a food show. In terms of equipment, we are well-equipped; in terms of technology, we are far ahead of others.
In terms of appearance... they all look like the campus beauties, and the density of handsome men and beautiful women is too concentrated. If there was one more photographer, there would be no doubt that they were here to film the show.
Yuan Ruoyi took a bunch of roasted leeks and excitedly went to find Lan Xin, "Lan Xin, come and eat some leeks——"
She turned a corner and found that Zhou Xiu's group had suffered a critical hit of 100,000 tons.
Huaxu clinked glasses with Du Feiyang and drank the glutinous rice balls in wine. Zhou Xiu picked up some fish and put it into his mouth. Yu Qingyan gently scooped up the mango milk with her thumb, put it into her mouth, and squinted her eyes. Tan Ming was wearing disposable gloves and sucking on the crayfish.
The most important thing is that the Hehua fish dry pot keeps bubbling in the pot, bubbling with a rich aroma, and Xu Qing stirs the dry pot from time to time.
Handsome men and beautiful women, delicious food and beautiful scenery form a pleasing picture, and they are so comfortable as if they are on vacation.
Yuan Ruoyi's stomach growled.
She decisively threw the burnt leeks and chicken wings into the trash can and sat next to Yu Qingyan, "Can I eat it?"
Several people had almost finished eating, but there were still two large grass carps left in the pot. The girls nodded.
Yuan Ruoyi was so moved that tears almost came out of her eyes. She hurriedly picked up the chopsticks and picked up several chicken feet to eat. Seeing this, Lan Xin was not willing to be left behind. She was faster than anyone else and grabbed the fish accurately.
The other students from Class 24 who heard the news were all stunned.
Wow, why not take them on a picnic?
They also want to eat the delicious Hehua fish, but don’t want to eat the dry barbecued fish that has been burnt into a piece of charcoal.
"Do we have anything to eat?"
Zhou Xiu touched her full stomach and said, "It's okay, eat."
Tan Ming bought six fish per person, but they actually cooked three of them and didn't finish them. The poor students swarmed over and divided the food, even the shark fins and fish heads were not spared, and the desserts were licked clean.
Zhou Xiu half-knelt down and threw the remaining fish into the pot to cook, and shared it with her classmates, but there were too many people and there was not enough to eat.
Xu Qing said calmly: "Take out all the food in the car and let everyone eat together."
It was still early in the morning, just past eleven o'clock, and there was more than enough time to prepare a picnic.
"The squad leader's prediction is still accurate." Du Feiyang said.
Last night, Xu Qing guessed the reactions of the poor students in the class and asked Tan Ming to prepare several materials.
Tan Ming made a phone call, and in less than ten minutes the ingredients were delivered to the botanical garden.
Tablecloths were spread one by one on the open space, and stoves and furnaces of the same type were placed on them.
Zhou Xiu taught Lan Xin and the others how to make Hehua fish dry pot and spicy crayfish, while Huaxu and Yu Qingyan taught the girls how to make desserts. Since there is no need to process the ingredients, the difficulty is greatly reduced.
Soon, all the poor students in Class 24 had the same picnic as the "Hua Xiu Group".
Who would want to eat greasy and burnt barbecue when you have delicious Hehua fish, crayfish, chicken feet and sweet desserts?
The poor students in Class 24 quickly cleaned up the barbecue ingredients, gave away the unbaked ones and threw away the failed ones.
They rubbed their hands in anticipation, sat around the picnic blanket, and tucked into their sumptuous lunch. The boys and girls couldn't help but take out their mobile phones and take pictures of the food from various angles.
The college students who were out for a spring outing next door looked at these well-fed and well-clothed middle school students and silently shed tears of envy and jealousy in their hearts.
"Classmate, we are students from the neighboring high school who are on a spring outing. Can we have some food?"
The shameless college students pretended to be young and innocent in the face of delicious food and got some of the food shared by the poor students.
After Zhou Xiu had eaten and drunk his fill, he took out a map and began collecting specimens in every corner of the botanical garden.
The forest botanical garden covers a very large area. Spring is the season when flowers bloom and leaves fall, and there are many leaves and malnourished flower buds falling on the ground. Zhou Xiu took photos as she walked. If she saw a plant that she wanted to collect but had not lost its buds or leaves, she would take photos.
Zhou Xiu picked up the fallen camellia buds on the ground and took out her cell phone. Opportunities to get in touch with nature are rare, so she thought of the fans in the live broadcast room. The observation and dissection of plants would be of some help in the biology competition.
She took out tweezers and a razor blade and began to break apart the flower buds, carefully picking off each male and female pistil. She broke apart the various parts of the flower, pressed them onto transparent plastic, vacuum-glued them together, and put them in her schoolbag.
The fan "Work hard to get into Guojin" brought many classmates.
"It's a rare opportunity to catch up with the live broadcast. Where is this host? Why are there so many plants?"
"This time, I followed the anchor and saw many strange and bizarre plants. It really opened my eyes."
"There are more plants than the teaching documentaries shown by teachers, and there are close-up descriptions. Hahahaha, the host really loves life."
It was the first time for Zhou Xiu to visit a botanical garden. The various rare and exotic plants in the garden satisfied her thirst for knowledge and curiosity, and Zhou Xiu was very happy. After she finished collecting the specimens, she glanced at the comments and patiently answered the questions.
"Anchor, what is your specimen No. 35?"
"Wow, host, your dissection skills are very smooth! I have never done a specimen like this before. Next time, can you slow down your movements so that I can see how you handle it?"
Zhou Xiu typed a paragraph, answering fans' questions one by one, and introducing what these things were to them like an encyclopedia. By the way, attached are tips on handling roots, stems, flowers and leaves.
"No. 35 is a single-petal camellia with a weeping golden heart."
"The host's name is Xiuxiu, right? Xiuxiu, I want to take a closer look at the legendary Davidia involucrata and Cathaya argyrophylla... The biology guy said he had never seen them before."
After Zhou Xiu collected the specimens with satisfaction, he met their requirements.
…
The students in Wen Na class came to the botanical garden and visited the various themed botanical pavilions in an orderly manner. It was almost twelve o'clock and everyone started to prepare for dinner because they were hungry.
They each took out their own lunch boxes, which contained a variety of ingredients, such as high-quality steak, tuna, rice balls, foie gras, etc. The flavors were also what they usually liked.
In short, students in the Wenner class will not worry about eating during the spring outing.
But doubts gradually arose in their hearts: What are we doing in the botanical garden? Are we just to look at these plants? Are we going to eat fast food in a different place?
That's not right. They obviously came here for fun and excitement.
The monitor of the Winner class said, "Go and see what Class 24 is doing."
The class council member of their class opened WeChat and was shocked by the various flashy photos of the poor students.
The hot and mouth-watering food, you can smell the tempting aroma through the photo, and girls can't resist the temptation of these various desserts.
At this moment, he looked down at the warm lunch box in his arms and felt so tortured that he doubted his life.
Xi Shaoyuan was holding his phone and happened to see the behind-the-scenes footage and Yu Qingyan's updates. In the pictures, Zhou Xiu was wearing a pink bunny apron and was busy making a picnic.
She was holding a large soup spoon, scooping up some rice dumplings made with fermented rice wine, and handing them to the person in front of the camera. The smile that appeared naturally on her lips gave people a warm feeling.
Zhang Qi leaned over to look and said, "I was wondering how they could be interested in plants."
"So they came here for a picnic."
The rich second generation, who are usually so pampered that they never have to do housework, turn into food bloggers with strong hands-on skills after coming here?
Zhang Qi decisively put down the lunch box in his hand and said, "Let's go to the 24th class next door to eat."
Anyway, the food they cook is so rich and the portions are so large, they won’t refuse to eat for free.
Usually the boys would play ball together and the girls would go shopping together, and they were as close as brothers and sisters. If you refuse to even eat a meal, how can you still be brothers and sisters in the future?
The poor students in Class 24 had just started their meal and were eating a few pieces of fish with their chopsticks when they saw the students from Class Winner rushing over here.
The poor students were all silent.
Is it too late to protect food now?
They put down their chopsticks noticeably faster and swallowed their desserts even faster.
Du Feiyang & Tan Ming: "..."
Even if the squad leader was extremely foresighted, he could never have expected that there would be another large group of people coming to eat for free, right?
Zhang Qi sat next to Du Feiyang in a familiar manner, put on disposable gloves himself, and ate a crayfish.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, we worked so hard to look at the plants, and you guys are here having a relaxing picnic? You didn't even bring us with you, that's really disloyal."
Fortunately, the students in the Winners class also had their own lunch boxes. They ate some of their own lunch boxes and got some rice. They finished all the food prepared by the poor students without wasting any of it.
After having eaten and drunk their fill, Zhang Qi and his friends took out their playing cards and started playing cards with Xu Qing and the others.
Zhang Qi asked: "What do you do if you lose? Take off your clothes?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the upright high school students all mocked him: "Do you think this is a nightclub? Why are you taking off your clothes?"
"You wish."
There are so many handsome guys and beautiful girls in the class, it’s obvious that they are at a disadvantage, okay?
Du Feiyang couldn't help fanning himself because of the heat. Then he had an idea. "Give away all your sweaters. The loser gets to wear one. You get to wear one sweater for each loss."
“See who is wearing the fattest clothes at the end.”
Who needs clothes nowadays? After dinner, it’s so hot that people take off their clothes in groups of two or three, okay? As soon as Du Feiyang finished speaking, seven or eight sweaters were thrown at his feet.
After a while, students from the two classes also met the Rocket Class. The place chosen for the behind-the-scenes footage is very beautiful. It is located beside a stream and you can hear the sound of flowing spring water.
As the sun gets higher, it can also provide shade.
The students in the Rocketry Class discovered this Feng Shui treasure land, stopped to rest, and played poker in a Buddhist way.
Xie Cheng and other top students were playing bridge. After lunch, Zhang Qi went over to join in the fun and watch Xie Cheng play bridge and beat the top students in the rocket class.
Zhang Qi is so good at math that he crushes all the poor students in Class 24. After being angrily kicked out by the chubby poor student in a sweater, he had no choice but to join Xie Shen's group to play bridge.
The players in Xie Cheng's group playing cards are: Xu Haobo, Qi Yaguang, Li Simiao, and Lu Lingshan.
Unexpectedly, after the competitive Zhang Qi joined, the boys who were originally playing cards in a Buddhist manner became competitive. A good game of bridge was turned into a competition.
Xie Cheng couldn't be a Buddhist anymore.
As a result, Qi Yaguang and Lu Lingshan lost several games in a row. Zhang Qi was having a hard time playing and said, "There's no punishment, it's not fun. Here, if you lose, you have to wear clothes like them, okay?"
Everyone nodded and agreed.
Everyone got together to play poker for a while. Lu Lingshan wore five sweaters, Qi Yaguang wore two, Xie Cheng wore the same, Zhang Qi wore the same, Xu Haobo wore the same, and Li Simiao wore two.
The classmates around him couldn't help laughing. This kind of funny moment is rarely seen at ordinary times. Campus beauties usually pay special attention to their image.
Zhang Qi cleared his throat and said, "No more playing, no more playing. It's boring."
Qi Yaguang was so angry after being beaten that she said, "How can you not leave? Play another round! Wait until I take off all my sweaters before you leave!"
"I'll give you a chance. Take off all the clothes you can," said Zhang Qi.
Having suffered several losses, Li Simiao cleverly took off his coat and sweater, leaving only a base shirt. Qi Yaguang and Lu Lingshan hesitated for a long time before taking off their coats and sweaters.
The Rocket Class was playing bridge in full swing when Zhou Xiu, who was collecting specimens, came back.
She put down her schoolbag with sweat all over her forehead and gulped down a lot of water. She drank so quickly that the water overflowed from her lips.
Xu Qing took out a tissue and handed it to Zhou Xiu, but Zhou Xiu was drinking water and didn't take it. So he took the napkin and wiped her mouth directly.
"Slow down, don't drink so fast." He said gently.
Xie Cheng on the opposite side saw this, turned around and glanced at Xi Shaoyuan, and saw that Xi Shaoyuan was staring at Zhou Xiu and the other person over there.
Xie Cheng coughed lightly and called Zhang Qi.
"Go and invite Xu Qing over to play together."
Zhang Qi happily agreed and invited Xu Qing to come over to play bridge.
Bridge is a game that tests mathematical ability. Xu Qing's math grades are also good, much better than Lu Lingshan's. Every time Lu Lingshan plays a game, he is definitely the loser. Even though Zhang Qi likes to give in to pretty girls, he is tired of it after so many rounds.
Replacing Lu Lingshan with Xu Qing will make the game more exciting.
Seeing that the person coming was Xu Qing, Lu Lingshan and Qi Yaguang did not argue and retreated tactfully. Lu Lingshan’s math grades were not very good to begin with, and although Qi Yaguang was good at math, his mathematical calculation ability was very poor.
If you compete with the top players in your grade, you will only be crushed.
So Xu Qing, who had just wiped Zhou Xiu's mouth and hadn't even had time to throw away the tissue, was invited to play bridge. This time the group is Xie Cheng, Xi Shaoyuan, Xu Qing and Zhang Qi.
Zhang Qi sensitively discovered that since the disappearance of girls and the joining of Xu Qing, his originally Buddhist style of playing cards suddenly became fierce.
Xie Cheng and Xi Shaoyuan fought very fiercely, and Zhang Qi gradually became exhausted and accidentally put on a sweater in shame.
Xu Qing was even worse off. After playing a few rounds, his sweater became rounder.
When the poor students in Class 24 saw this, they laughed so hard that tears came out of their eyes, and they all called for the class monitor to come back to the base camp to play.
Huaxu pushed Zhou Xiu and said, "Xiu Xiu, go and change the squad leader back."
After a good rest, Zhou Xiu stood up and walked to the Rocket Class. After the game was over, she asked, "I'll replace Xu Qing."
Zhang Qi nodded naturally, "Come on, come on, Xu Qing, get up and give your seat to Zhou Xiu."
He asked, "Girls have special privileges, Zhou Xiu, do you want to take off your clothes?"
Zhou Xiu was still wearing quite thick clothes, but she was sweating profusely just now, and the sweat was gradually dried by the wind. If she took off her clothes at this time, she would easily catch a cold.
So Zhou Xiu shook her head: "No."
"Okay, then I won't take it off."
Qi Yaguang, who was standing by, saw this and couldn't help but be motivated, "Wait... shouldn't it be our turn?"
Lu Lingshan also wanted to play games with Xi Shaoyuan and Xie Cheng, and she looked at them with anticipation.
Zhang Qi said bluntly: "It's no fun to play with you. Zhou Xiu, sit down."
Xi Shaoyuan calmly cut the cards and shuffled them.
Zhang Qi said proudly, "Boys and girls have different ways of thinking, just like Qi Yaguang and Lu Lingshan. Although your math grades are pretty good, it's not necessarily the same when it comes to playing cards. Zhou Xiu, do you want me to give you a break?"
Zhou Xiu said: "No need."
Qi Yaguang, who was implicitly demoted, felt a little uncomfortable. He stood beside Zhou Xiu with his hands on his hips and watched.
Lu Lingshan, who was used to being the center of attention, felt a little embarrassed. "It's just entertainment, just for fun."
Xi Shaoyuan picked up the cards and said calmly, "It's not just a casual game, you have to play it seriously."
It’s fun only if you play seriously.
