In order not to break the rules, he told the elderly people in advance that he planned to take up a guest spot and cook two dishes to express his gratitude for their liking for him.
The elderly were even happier; didn't this mean the young man cared about them? They happily agreed.
As for Jiang Tian, whose spot had been taken, she had no choice but to help Xie Yun'an.
"Did your family own a restaurant when you were a child?" Jiang Tian couldn't help but ask.
Considering the elderly people's appetites, Xie Yun'an did not cook very spicy or oily dishes. He prepared a steamed egg with minced meat and a dish of shredded vegetables in broth. Each dish was mouthwatering.
The dish of shredded vegetables in broth, in particular, requires exceptional knife skills.
Xie Yun'an skillfully sliced the chicken leg mushrooms, dried bamboo shoots, and Chinese cabbage into thin strips, each one thinner than a strand of hair and almost translucent.
The audience gasped in amazement as he chopped vegetables.
Food is the most important thing for people. While spiritual nourishment can enrich their minds, most people, no matter how poor, cannot let their mouths go hungry. They are very interested in eating.
Xie Yun'an regained some vague goodwill through his cooking skills.
The food is delicious, which is a big plus.
"No, but I studied it carefully," Xie Yun'an replied to Jiang Tian.
“Not bad.” Jiang Tian said sparingly.
"...I'll cook anything you want to eat in the future." Xie Yun'an lowered his voice, his words only audible to the two of them.
Jiang Tian returned his smile.
Xie Yun'an served the two dishes he had prepared to the elderly, who praised them highly.
After they tasted it, they treated Xie Yun'an as their own grandson.
Good-looking, good at cooking, and proficient in singing and dancing—this child is just too perfect.
During the afternoon chat session, Xie Yun'an practically became a star in the nursing home, with every elderly person eager to chat with him.
They don't read entertainment news and don't know everything Xie Yun'an has experienced in the past, but they have their own system for evaluating people.
An old woman smiled and said to Xie Yun'an, "I noticed you looked down today. I don't know what hardships you've been through, but you're sure to go far in life. Don't stay so down. Look at you, you dance and sing just like those TV stars, and you have a good character. You're bound to be successful in the future."
The old man praised Xie Yun'an, and Xie Yun'an naturally had to express his gratitude.
The two chatted for a while. The old woman was wise and said to Xie Yun'an, "Life has its big and small hurdles. We've all been through thick and thin. I won't go into the big principles, just remember that we've always believed in you."
Xie Yun'an blinked, nodded, and his eyes were a little moist.
He rarely receives kindness from complete strangers anymore.
He gained a lot today.
When the guests left, many elderly people still held Xie Yun'an's hand and wouldn't let go.
Other guests were also welcomed by the elderly, but if we were to choose the most popular guest, it would definitely be Xie Yun'an.
The production team arranged a car for them, and after the six guests got in, none of them said a word.
Being tired after a busy day is a valid reason.
The real reason is obvious to everyone.
Xie Yun'an received a lot of media attention today and had many highlight moments, truly stealing the spotlight.
He was the best performer on the show, and he cooked the best dishes. Every elderly person wanted to chat with him. They noticed that he seemed a little listless, and some elderly people even took out snacks that their children had given him to eat.
He has become the group's darling.
