Love Variety Show (Thirty-Six)
Ruan Qi was so delicious that she almost cried.
"It's delicious! This is the best chopped pepper sauce I've ever had! Where did you buy it, big brother?"
She wanted to fly back home immediately and buy several boxes to store at home.
Cheng Jinyan looked at the little girl with amusement and said softly, "I didn't buy it. I asked a master chef from the countryside to make it. If you like it, I'll ask him to make more later. But don't eat too much chopped pepper sauce. It's too salty and bad for your throat."
Cheng Jinyan was concerned about Ruan Qi's health and repeatedly told her not to eat too much.
Ruan Qi nodded in agreement, then used chopsticks to pick up a large piece.
[Hahahaha, SoftBank's main selling point is that you talk yours and I eat mine.]
[But the chopped pepper sauce is so delicious, I can't resist it either. I can eat a whole can in one meal!]
[I'm begging for the master chef who can make chopped pepper sauce. My mouth is watering.]
[You guys crave chopped pepper sauce, but I'm different. I crave a brother who can bring chopped pepper sauce to his sister thousands of miles away. Woohoo! I really want a brother like that!]
Cheng Jinyan's chopped pepper sauce made the audience salivate. Wang Leke, who was in the same room with him, couldn't help but come over when he smelled the fragrance.
"Sister Ruan, is it delicious?" Wang Leke looked at Ruan Qi eagerly, his eyes full of desire.
But Ruan Qi's attention was completely focused on the chopped pepper sauce, and she didn't receive any of his brain waves at all.
"It's delicious, super delicious." Ruan Qi scooped another piece with chopsticks, put it in his mouth and squinted his eyes.
Wang Leke looked at her, swallowed, and after trying for a while, he couldn't help it. He leaned forward with his fluorescent green head and said, "Sister Ruan, can you give me a taste?"
Ruan Qi raised his head upon hearing this.
Wang Leke's drool was almost flowing to the floor.
Ruan Qi's mouth twitched and she turned to look at Cheng Jinyan.
Cheng Jinyan adjusted his glasses and said softly, "This is a gift from me to Xiaoqi. It's up to you to decide. I brought two cans, which is enough for you."
When Ruan Qi heard this, he immediately said to Wang Leke, "Go downstairs to the kitchen and get two pairs of chopsticks. Bring one pair for big brother as well."
"Okay!"
Wang Leke received the order and ran to the first floor at the speed of a 100-meter sprint, and then rushed back at the speed of light. The whole process took less than a minute.
"Mr. Cheng, here are the chopsticks."
He handed a pair of chopsticks to Cheng Jinyan, then moved closer to Ruan Qi and excitedly scooped a large spoonful of chopped pepper sauce into his mouth.
"Holy crap! This is so delicious!"
Mr. Wang, who had vowed ten minutes ago that he represented the company's image, successfully swore.
Ruan Qi looked at him speechlessly.
Wang Leke reacted and quickly slapped his lips: "Slip, slip of the tongue. Come on, give me another bite. This is so delicious. Do you have rice? I can have five big bowls of this with it!"
"We just exchanged money with the production team and haven't had time to buy ingredients yet. Let's eat it at dinner time. I promise you'll be full." Ruan Qi said, pushing the chopped pepper sauce towards Cheng Jinyan, "Brother, you should eat too."
Cheng Jinyan has always had a light diet and rarely eats spicy food. But since this was handed to him by his beloved sister, he would rather break his own eating habits than refuse her.
Cheng Jinyan picked up a small piece and put it in his mouth to taste it.
“It tastes really good, very fragrant, without the pungent smell of chili peppers.”
Mr. Cheng, who has always been very particular about food, gave high praise to the chopped pepper sauce.
Ruan Qi smiled with her eyes curved, then lowered her head and started eating again.
So, when Xi Jiu finished taking a shower and came to the guest room, he saw Ruan Qi, Wang Leke and Cheng Jinyan sitting on the floor in a very unkempt manner, eating chopped pepper sauce with their heads touching.
Xi Jiu:?
"What are you doing?"
The three people in the room raised their heads when they heard the sound.
"Jiujiu, are you done washing?" Ruan Qi raised her hand and called out to Xi Jiu when she saw him. "Come on, come on, big brother brought some delicious chopped pepper sauce. Jiujiu, come and try it!"
Xi Jiu raised his eyebrows in surprise and looked at Cheng Jinyan.
Ever since Xi Jiu appeared, the smile on Cheng Jinyan's face faded.
He pushed his glasses down with his middle finger, glanced at Xi Jiu, and said in a calm tone with a hint of disdain: "For my sister's sake, you should try it too."
[Hahahaha! Is this what it's like when a brother-in-law looks at his brother-in-law, and the more he looks, the more he wants to fight?]
Young Master Cheng and Master Xi have always been on a pedestal in the business world. Now Master Xi has kidnapped Ruan Qi. With new grudges and old grudges, Young Master Cheng will definitely not like him.
[Ruan Qi's two brothers are both extremely sister-con, Master Xi will be in trouble in the future, hahahaha! ]
Ever since he and Ruan Qi made their relationship public, Xi Jiu had grown accustomed to Ruan Munan and Cheng Jinyan's sarcastic remarks. But he didn't mind, nor did he feel angry. If he had a sister as lovely as Ruan Qi, he would also be cold and stern towards the man who kidnapped her.
Moreover, although Ruan Munan and Cheng Jinyan have a bad attitude towards Xi Jiu, the three men are all outstanding talents. There are always some characteristics among outstanding people that make them appreciate each other.
Therefore, whether it was Xi Jiu or Ruan Munan and Cheng Jinyan, they were just fighting with words, but they actually admired and respected each other in their hearts.
Xi Jiu accepted Cheng Jinyan's dislike very magnanimously.
He walked over to Ruan Qi and squatted down. Ruan Qi just picked up a piece of chopped pepper sauce and put it to his mouth.
"Jiujiu, try it."
Xi Jiu opened his mouth and ate the chopped pepper sauce.
"Not bad, very delicious." Like Cheng Jinyan, he didn't have any particular requirements for food. But because Ruan Qi fed him, he thought it was very delicious.
Xi Jiu briefly praised the chopped pepper sauce, and at the same time did not forget to praise his brother-in-law.
"Thank you, big brother, for your thoughtfulness."
Cheng Jinyan raised an eyebrow: "I didn't bring the chopped pepper sauce for you, why are you thanking me?"
"You should thank me too." Xi Jiu calmly countered, "I'm Xiao Qi's fiancé. We're family, inseparable. My thanks are Xiao Qi's thanks."
Cheng Jinyan snorted and laughed.
"He's just a fiancé, not a married husband. Mr. Xi is not a member of the Ruan family yet."
"It will happen sooner or later." Xi Jiu counterattacked again, "Xiao Qi and I are in love with each other, and no one can separate us."
Cheng Jinyan: ...
That's true.
Xi Jiu and Ruan Qi have such a deep relationship that no one can separate them, otherwise Ruan Munan, who has a sister complex, would not have accepted Xi Jiu so reluctantly.
The same is true for Cheng Jinyan.
Even though he didn't like his sister being kidnapped, he was extremely reluctant and couldn't resist Ruan Qi's words "I like Xi Jiu".
As long as Ruan Qi likes it, Cheng Jinyan will not object.
Therefore, this battle between the brother-in-law and the brother-in-law ended with Young Master Cheng's defeat.
Cheng Jinyan and Xi Jiu had their hair done up, and the other guests on the other side also finished washing themselves and came out.
It's time to prepare dinner.
"Young Master Wang ordered two dishes, and Mr. Cheng ordered three. That's five dishes in total. There are ten of us, so that shouldn't be enough, right?"
"That's definitely not enough." Si Lin touched his empty stomach and burped. "I've used up a lot of energy today. I need at least four bowls of rice tonight. And there are more boys here, and everyone eats big, so at least seven or eight dishes will be enough."
Shi Su: "Then add three more dishes. Mr. Cheng brought chopped pepper sauce, so we can make stir-fried pork with chopped peppers and fish head with chopped peppers."
"Sure." Ruan Qi remembered that Ge Mei and Cheng Jinyan didn't like spicy food, so she suggested, "Let's make another dessert. How about osmanthus glutinous rice and lotus root?"
Osmanthus glutinous rice with lotus root is a very common dish, loved by people who don’t like spicy food.
Everyone immediately expressed no objection.
The menu for tonight is now finalized.
The next step is to buy ingredients from the program team.
Onions, ginger, garlic, and green vegetables are all available in the garden, so there's no need to buy them. All you need to do is buy meat, rice, and seasonings from the production team.
After some intense bargaining, the guests finally bought all the ingredients for 721 yuan.
"This is the most unscrupulous production team I've ever seen." Wang Leke, who was participating in a dating show for the first time, shook his head and sighed as he carried a stack of drinks. "A can of drink costs ten yuan! There are ten of us in total, and we spent a hundred yuan just on drinks. Are you guys trying to rob me?"
Si Lin: "What's that? A head of cabbage costs ten yuan, and two kilograms of rice costs fifty yuan! I usually buy rice online, and a five-kilogram bag is only fifty yuan!"
"It's so shameless to drive up prices. I'm going to call the Price Bureau to complain about you right now." Wang Leke and Si Lin sang in unison, moving things into the kitchen while complaining about the program crew.
Everyone else was laughing, and with everyone working together, a large amount of ingredients were quickly laid out.
Next, it’s time to cook.
Shi Su and Xi Jiu were still cooking, Si Lin and Lan Lan were chopping the vegetables, Ji Beibei and Ge Mei were washing them, and Ruan Qi, the kitchen killer, was in charge of picking them. Everyone had cooked together before, so they worked very well together and quickly got into the groove.
Wang Leke, on the other hand, felt a little embarrassed at this moment.
He was born into a wealthy family and had never done any housework since he was a child. In addition, the old man of the Wang family doted on him so much that Wang Leke had never cooked in the kitchen or even gone to the supermarket to buy food since he was a child.
Therefore, Wang Le is the worst worker among these guests.
Not to mention the technical skills required for cooking and cutting vegetables, which not only Wang Leke but also many ordinary people can't do. However, Wang Leke can't even wash a bowl.
Ruan Qi doesn't go into the kitchen because she's too strong and always accidentally breaks the utensils. Wang Leke doesn't wash the dishes because his hands always slip and he drops each one he washes.
When he broke the third bowl, Xi Jiu 'politely' asked him to leave the kitchen.
Wang Leke was quite self-aware and knew that he would only make things worse in the kitchen. So, he decisively went to the restaurant and planned to help Ruan Qi pick vegetables.
result……
"Sister Ruan, do you think I can pick it?"
"Okay. But don't pinch off too much, it's a waste."
"Oh. What kind of vegetable is this? Isn't this a weed? Are you sure it's edible?"
“…Wang Leke, this is leek.”
"Ah? Does this what leeks look like? Hi, I don't usually eat leeks. At most I'll have a few leek dumplings. Hey, Sister Ruan, can I help you scrape the fish scales? It's an easy job, I know how to do it."
"...Wang Leke, what are you doing?"
"Scraping fish scales. I saw that my chef always does it this way."
"That's right, but why are you scraping its head? Fish don't have scales on their heads!"
"Forehead……"
Finally, Ruan Qi couldn't stand it anymore and kicked Wang Leke out of the restaurant.
Young Master Wang, who wanted to help but always caused trouble, felt very aggrieved.
He leaned against the restaurant door, looking at Ruan Qi who was sitting at the bar picking vegetables, sighed deeply, then turned around and left reluctantly. His back looked so lonely.
Without Wang Leke to make trouble, everyone prepared dinner a little faster.
Of course, everyone knew that Wang Le was trying to help out of kindness, so no one blamed him. Ruan Qi even prepared a basin of beans for him and told him to go to the living room and slowly pick out the bad beans.
Wang Leke took the beans and went to the living room happily as if he had received an imperial edict.
At this time in the living room, Jiang Hengda, the only one who was not working, was playing games.
Ever since he had a few arguments with Ruan Qi yesterday at the sand skiing field about Lan Lan, Jiang Hengda had completely given up.
And today in the paddy field, Ruan Qi scolded him for destroying the seedlings, and Jiang Hengda's dissatisfaction became even stronger.
He used to dislike working, but at least he could pretend. But now, Jiang Hengda didn't even pretend. Everyone was busy making dinner, but he just lay down on the sofa without saying a word.
So, when Wang Leke walked into the living room with the beans, he saw Jiang Hengda lying like a corpse on the sofa.
Wang Leke wasn't familiar with Jiang Hengda. He had only heard of the Jiang family in the imperial capital, but hadn't had much contact with them. His only knowledge of Jiang Hengda came from his recent trending searches on Weibo.
The trending searches on Weibo these days are really lively.
Topics related to this dating show were trending one after another. Ruan Qi and Xi Jiu dominated the list the most, while the second most talked about person was Jiang Hengda.
However, the difference is that Ruan Qi and Xi Jiu are all on the hot search list for relatively positive topics, while Jiang Hengda is on the list for all negative hot searches.
Things like #Jiang Hengda scolds Lan Lan#, #Jiang Hengda doesn't work#, #Jiang Hengda is criticized by Ruan Qi#... In short, he does all kinds of weird things, making everyone constantly sigh how such a weirdo can appear in a wealthy family.
Wang Leke also thought Jiang Hengda was weird.
Wang Leke couldn't comment on the matter between him and Lan Lan. He just wondered, "Why did Jiang Hengda talk to Sister Ruan like that? Did he make keys? How many keys did he make?"
As the entertainment industry's top Ruan Qi fan, Wang Leke hated it most. Whenever Ruan Qi was targeted by someone, Wang Leke would rush to the front lines on Weibo to help her fight back. This time, he still wanted to fight back.
But considering that this was a live broadcast, Wang Le didn't want to bring bad luck to Ruan Qi, so he didn't take the initiative to provoke Jiang Hengda.
He simply ignored the 'corpse' lying on the sofa, walked to the side with the basin, sat down and began to pick beans silently.
However, Wang Le didn't want to pay attention to Jiang Hengda, but Jiang Hengda really wanted to pay attention to him.
The Jiang family is on the verge of collapse and is in urgent need of help. Jiang Hengda was sent to this program by his parents so that he could curry favor with Xi Jiu and Ruan Qi.
But now, Ruan Qi was definitely out of reach, and Xi Jiu was probably in trouble too. So, Jiang Hengda shifted his target to Wang Leke.
