As Xia Yu spoke, he put his hands behind Xiao Jiang, held her hands, and controlled the camera to point at the sea of flowers in front of them.
"Blurring is a very practical technique. Let's take a close-up of a lavender plant and blur the flower fields in the distance."
He taught very carefully, and Jiang Baiying studied very seriously, but in the eyes of others, it seemed like they were just flirting, hugging and showing affection, in broad daylight...
"Baby, can I teach you how to take pictures too?"
"roll!"
Isn’t taking pictures a man’s job? It’s enough for me to use my mobile phone to take selfies and edit them.
Jiang Baiying doesn't have a single selfie in her phone, but there are quite a few landscape photos. She is a person who pays attention to the beauty around her, but her technique is a bit poor.
It’s different now. Under Teacher Xia’s guidance, her photography skills have improved by leaps and bounds, and she has already taken some quite eye-catching photos.
There were scenery and people, and Xia Yu also experienced what it was like to be a model.
I didn’t realize before that I’m so photogenic. It would be a waste to take more pictures to show off my good figure.
As they were taking photos, it was noon and their stomachs started to growl, so they headed home, left the lavender manor and returned to the car.
The meal took a while to cook, so we first had two pieces of Hengming cake to fill our stomachs. This is a local specialty that they bought on the roadside. The white rice cake has dates and sugar on it. It is fragrant and soft, glutinous but not sticky. It is a very good cake.
This is how local specialties are. It’s best to eat them locally. If you bring them back, the flavor will be half as good.
Xia Yu usually brings local specialties to give to others. He rarely eats them himself because he always eats enough locally before returning.
The lunch was also made with local specialties from Hengming: braised eel, black sea cucumber with shrimp, cold-mixed golden loofah, and blanched asparagus. There were four dishes in total, but no soup.
Jiang Baiying watched Xia Yu busying around, her eyes full of little stars.
The senior is worthy of being a senior. He is a first-class cook and can even cook local specialties.
The main thing is that these dishes are not too difficult. Eel can be braised very easily as long as it is processed properly. Shrimp and sea cucumber are steamed dishes. As long as you control the time and heat well and have enough stoves, it is not a problem.
Salads and blanched dishes are even simpler, but the quality of asparagus in summer is not high and the yield is also low. The cost of this dish is not low, but as long as it tastes good, the price is not a problem at all.
Xia Yu also made a lot of fun of the RV kitchen. The four dishes were almost ready one after another. Jiang Baiying, who was unable to help much, could only be responsible for serving the dishes and rice. The two sat down at the dining table together.
This is the first time that this Unimog has been so down-to-earth. Last time, Xia Yu took his senior sister to several cities and just used the car as a hotel. They didn't even have time to experience the local delicacies for breakfast, lunch and dinner, so how could they cook in the car?
Cooking is mostly done on yachts as the kitchen area is larger. He remembers that he had made pickled fish and boiled fish on the boat.
"Senior, this braised eel is much better than the kabayaki eel I've ever had."
Grilled eel is a Japanese dish, but the sauce is sweet, giving it a Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisine feel. However, it is not an authentic Chinese dish.
Jiang Baiying said that Xia Yu’s braised eel was more delicious, and it was absolutely from the heart. He was very happy to hear it.
"If it tastes good, eat more. Eel is very nutritious and refreshing. It's the most comfortable thing to eat in the summer."
Xia Yu said as he picked up another piece for Jiang Baiying.
Sure enough, the senior and the junior are different. When he ate with the senior, it was Yin Suya who picked up food for him. But when he was with Xiao Jiang, he became caring.
Is this a double standard?
Well, this is double standards, undisguised double standards.
The senior sister is feeling miserable and wants a hug. She is still busy setting up the crew, but Xia Yu is flirting with her. It is simply outrageous. How can there be such a shameless person in the world?
The two of them ate and talked in the car, just like they were back in the countless Friday afternoons last year when they ate and talked like this on the farm, but at that time, they would go to the study to study after dinner.
Now, the senior has become a successful entrepreneur and has grown a restaurant into a catering company that is even bigger than her father's.
The two-month internship made her feel more and more the size of Xia's company. The sales of its 35 chain stores were comparable to that of 350 other stores, and it had truly swept the mid-range market compared to Hudi Lao.
What about her?
She hasn't finished college yet, and even if she does, she'll likely just be there to maintain the business and it will be difficult for her to expand it further.
Thinking of this, Jiang Baiying admired Xia Yu even more.
Humans worship the strong; it's something ingrained in their genes. It's just that other people aren't as close to Xia Yu as Jiang Baiying, so they don't feel his rise as deeply.
However, a man as dazzling as Xia Yu will one day be in the spotlight and come into everyone's sight.
By that time, I'm afraid someone will have to give up the position of national husband.
After dinner, Jiang Baiying volunteered to wash the dishes, and Xia Yu specially helped her find gloves.
Such tender little hands cannot be corroded by detergent and oil, they must be protected.
After a short lunch break, the two set off again and drove to the Xisha Wetland.
It is said that the Xisha Wetland, known as a natural oxygen bar, is the best place to watch the sunset in Hangming.
The sunset and sunrise in Xia Yu's eyes are as romantic as lavender. I missed them the last time I came here, so I must appreciate them this time when I drive here.
Soon they arrived at the westernmost end of Hengming Island. They saw a huge mudflat covered with reeds, like a green ocean full of vitality.
The last time I came here, the reeds were all withered, unlike now, when they are growing vigorously.
Xia Yu thought of the reed marshes in his hometown. When he was a child, he loved fishing for lobsters in the summer, but there were no crayfish in the Xisha Islands, only small crabs.
While waiting for the sunset, it was fun to catch some small crabs. Xia Yu and Jiang Baiying had a lot of fun, but in the end they still released all the little guys back.
The useless "stone chips" survived by chance, but if it was a big blue crab, it would definitely not escape the steamer in his car.
Time passed quickly on the island, and before we knew it, the sky had darkened. The clouds looked like they were burning under the setting sun.
Such scenery cannot be seen in the urban area of Shanghai. Xia Yu raised the camera, hesitated for a moment, and then took several steps back, and included Jiang Baiying who was staring into the distance in a daze in the camera.
"Click~"
Another beautiful photo.
Looking at Jiang Baiying's skirt dyed a dim yellow by the setting sun on the screen, Teacher Xia decided to name it "Girl and Dusk", and the breath of art was overwhelming.
This is what it’s like to be an artist, inspiration gushes out like hormones and cannot be stopped.
"Senior, you're taking pictures of me again."
The subtle sound of a shutter brought Jiang Baiying back to her senses, and she said to Xia Yu angrily.
"No way, why would I need to secretly take photos of our Xiao Jiang?"
