Chapter 1
After eating the barbecue, Jiang Qi sent Wang Erya home and asked her to study her online classes seriously at home. He also reminded her that she could eat the milk, yogurt in the refrigerator and the snacks and fruits at home, but in moderation.
In order to prevent Wang Erya from not understanding the concept of moderation, Jiang Qi set strict standards for her.
Drink a cup of milk and yogurt (paper cups) in the morning and evening, one apple a day, two bananas a day, a small bowl of dates a day, and eat a small package of dried meat snacks every two hours of study.
Jiang Qi did not supervise her either. He fully trusted Wang Erya in terms of obeying orders.
"By the way, don't spend too much time looking at the tablet. Watch one or two online classes and then take a break. Don't overuse your eyes, otherwise you may become nearsighted." Jiang Qi reminded before leaving.
As for whether the card characters will be nearsighted...
It is always better to take precautions.
"Okay, boss." Wang Erya watched Jiang Qi leave home.
Although the store didn't need Jiang Qi right now, and no one had even sent him a message asking if he would come over today, Jiang Qi felt that as a boss, he had to be conscious of being a boss, so even if he wasn't at work, he still had to go to the store every day.
When Jiang Qi arrived at the store, it was completely dark.
The alley was filled with the aroma of barbecue. Jiang Qi walked into the store smelling grilled chicken wings, grilled eggplant, grilled lamb and grilled fish. As soon as he entered the door, he smelled the rich aroma of tomato sauce.
Jiang Wanwan was standing next to the air fryer, frying French fries. Before the French fries were done in the air fryer, she had already squeezed a bowl of ketchup into it, using the same noodle bowl she used to eat noodles.
The air fryer was obviously brand new, and the protective film on the top was not even removed. Jiang Qi suspected that Jiang Xiaokang had never used this air fryer, and Jiang Wanwan had just taken it after unpacking it.
"Brother Jiang Qi, you're here, just in time. The French fries will be ready in just one minute." Jiang Wanwan said excitedly.
Jiang Qi glanced at the lobby on the first floor. Huang Fugui was reading a book on the sofa. Old John, Liu Lan and Qin Can were not there.
"Where are the others?" Jiang Qi asked.
"Lanlan and Cancan are rehearsing their performance upstairs, and Teacher John is opening the book."
Just then, the air fryer made a ding sound and the French fries were done.
Jiang Wanwan poured the golden fried French fries out of the fryer, and couldn't wait to blow them up while eating one to taste it, and then ate another one with ketchup. Only after she finished eating did she have time to greet Jiang Qi.
"Brother Jiang Qi, come and try it. It's no different from the French fries in a fast food restaurant!"
Jiang Qi reached out and took one, and stuffed it into his mouth without dipping it in ketchup. It was quite good, with a strong potato flavor, crispy and delicious, but a little bland. It would be better if it could be sprinkled with some salt.
"Where did you get these French fries?" Jiang Qi asked.
"My dad bought it." Jiang Wanwan answered, "My dad bought a lot of things, French fries, chicken wings, chicken steaks, grilled sausages, crispy pork, all for the air fryer. I wanted to bring the chicken wings today, but they were too heavy to carry. I'll bring the chicken wings tomorrow."
Jiang Qi: ...
"Have you had dinner yet?"
"I ate it!" Jiang Wanwan became excited when she talked about this. "Brother Jiang Qi, why didn't you tell me earlier that Uncle Huang's vegetable noodles were so delicious? I was free a few days ago, but you didn't even ask me to come over to eat."
"Didn't Gao Qin tell you?" Jiang Qi asked back.
Gao Qin had played "MasterChef" a long time ago. She and Jiang Wanwan were roommates. Logically, she should have told Jiang Wanwan that Ben's vegetable noodles were especially delicious as soon as she got back.
"No, she never reveals any spoilers. She's very tight-lipped. But what exactly is the series "MasterChef Contest"? Gao Qin praised this series to the heavens in the dormitory, so why did she have to eat noodles in the end?" Jiang Wanwan was a little curious.
Jiang Qi thought about it and felt that it was indeed not a good idea to spoil the plot, so he could only vaguely say, "You'll know when you play the game, but since you've eaten the vegetable noodles in advance, there will probably be fewer surprises when you play the game."
Jiang Wanwan: ???
Jiang Qi ate two fries and stopped eating. He had a barbecue buffet with Wang Erya before coming. With Wang Erya, a foodie who could beat 99% of the food broadcasters in the country, sitting opposite him, Jiang Qi ate too much as expected.
His current stomach capacity is limited to a few French fries.
"What are Liu Lan and Qin Can rehearsing upstairs? I didn't buy a new copy."
"It's the movie script from last night. Gao Qin sent me the review at noon today. She also felt that the script was a little dry. Many people probably wouldn't be able to stand it just to watch the movie. Lanlan wanted to add some interactions between the five major segments of joy, anger, sorrow, resentment and bitterness, enrich the opening, and add some interpretation. She and Qin Can are studying it upstairs." Jiang Wanwan said.
Jiang Qi didn't expect that under the leadership of Old John, Liu Lan also wanted to modify the book, and the book he modified was the one produced by the game. He is really ambitious.
"Which room?"
"Ancient style room."
"I'll go up and take a look."
After Jiang Qi finished speaking, he walked upstairs.
Jiang Wanwan followed closely behind with French fries in her hand. Before going upstairs, she reminded Huang Fugui to eat his fries: "Uncle Huang, there are still fries in the fryer. If you want to eat them, pour them out yourself!"
"Okay." Huang Fugui nodded with a smile.
When Jiang Qi went up, Liu Lan and Qin Can were acting out a scene where progressive young women were trying to rebel against the feudal patriarch.
"Nonsense!" The feudal patriarch played by Liu Lan angrily threw the book in his hand to the ground. It hit the floor tiles with a loud bang, which scared Jiang Qi who had just walked to the door.
"You are a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl. You don't stay at home to learn embroidery with your mother. You actually want to run out to hang out with those men and go to that new-style school. How could I have such a shameless daughter like you?!"
Qin Can, whose performance was a bit clumsy, looked up, trying to show a stubborn expression, and retorted: "Why not? Why can my brother do it but I can't?"
"No." Liu Lan picked up the book she had just thrown on the ground. "Achan, your expression and tone are both problematic. Do you know what you looked like just now? Just like... just like... just like the acting skills of the popular actress you hate the most, whom you scold me on WeChat every day, but she's even worse than hers."
Liu Lan's vicious words made Qin Can's face turn green.
"Is it that bad?" Qin Can felt that he could still save the situation.
Jiang Qi, who didn't know who Qin Can's haters were, watched the performance silently at the door and said mercilessly: "Is it really that bad?"
Qin Can: ...
Qin Can became autistic.
Qin Can's performance just now made Jiang Qi deeply aware of what an excellent worker Liu Lan is. Although Qin Can is also an art student and studies dance, and overall looks more outstanding and more elegant than Liu Lan, his acting skills and voice conditions are not on the same level as Liu Lan.
If Liu Lan's performance can keep players engaged and even immerse them in the story, then Qin Can's performance will probably just make players burst into laughter.
Jiang Qi turned his gaze to Jiang Wanwan who was eating French fries and watching the show: "Wanwan, do you want to try it?"
Jiang Wanwan, who had never acted before, was very excited and confident in her unknown acting skills. She confidently handed the fries to the autistic Qin Can, glanced at the lyrics and Liu Lan, and started a new performance.
Three minutes later, Jiang Wanwan, whose acting was even more hilarious, began to withdraw into herself.
Liu Lan turned his gaze to Jiang Qi.
Jiang Qi: ...
"First of all, I want to make it clear that although I was originally a member of the drama club and my acting skills are excellent, I cannot play the role of a girl."
Liu Lan: "...I want you to play the father and I will play the daughter."
"oh."
Three minutes later, Jiang Qi's feudal patriarch won unanimous praise and warm applause from the audience.
Jiang Wanwan's palms turned red from clapping. She stopped eating her French fries and gave her cousin her most sincere praise.
"Brother Jiang Qi, you played the villain father so well that I wanted to hit you. It was even better than the scumbag last time!"
Qin Can was shocked: "The boss has also played a scumbag?"
"Yes!" Jiang Wanwan was very proud, "My brother plays this kind of role very vividly, just like the real thing."
"Wow, that's amazing, the boss is such a good actor."
The two of them really started praising each other in unison.
Jiang Qi chose to ignore the two of them and looked at Liu Lan.
"Do you think arranging the interpretation this way will be effective?" Jiang Qi, as a player who has played the beginning and the end and has a general understanding of some of the middle plots in this book, really can't think of where the interpretation of this book can be added.
Watch a performance halfway through a movie?
Even weirder!
"I'm actually not sure either." Liu Lan scratched his head, "So I'll arrange a section first to see the effect, and if it works, I'll think about how to add it in."
"By the way, Uncle Huang said his niece came suddenly. What's going on?"
As soon as Liu Lan finished speaking, three pairs of gossipy eyes turned to Jiang Qi.
Jiang Qi looked at the three people expressionlessly.
He just knew it.
Haha, the spectators.
