Chapter 129: Going Home to Be a Salted Fish Wife
When Lu Qingye turned his attention to look out the window just now, he was distracted and didn't hear clearly the last words his mother said.
Because the assistant's voice was too soft, Mother Lu didn't hear it, so she thought that his "hmm" was a response to her.
Mother Lu: "Okay, I won't disturb your rest."

Program recording site
Meng Chuyuan made several dishes based on the ingredients he had, and they were all different from the ones in the previous two episodes.
The seasonal vegetables are basically the same, and the meat provided by the program team is also fixed. Other groups can't change up the dishes, only Meng Chuyuan comes up with new dishes for every meal.
Lu Jinsen still helped her, doing some simple things and helping Meng Chuyuan prepare dinner early.
After Qi Yan gave up the kitchen, she went back to her room and changed her clothes. Not only did she remove the fishy smell from her body, she also fixed her makeup and hair.
When she came out of the room, Meng Chuyuan had already prepared the meal.
Tingjiu helped serve the dishes, while Lu Jinsen took out the bowls and chopsticks from the cupboard and placed them neatly on the table.
Qi Yan walked towards them and subconsciously glanced at the dining table. It was really full. The aroma of food mixed in the air triggered her keen sense of smell.
The last dish of lettuce came out of the pot. Meng Chuyuan put it on a plate and turned off the fire in the stove. Then she came out with the plate of vegetables and the sweet and sour fish that had been left aside for a long time.
Just catching a glimpse of Qi Yan standing under the eaves, only a few steps away from her, Meng Chuyuan casually said, "It's time to eat."
Qi Yan saw her passing by, but she didn't even look at her.
Her eyes followed Meng Chuyuan's route, and when she was wondering whether Meng Chuyuan was inviting her to have dinner together, she saw Meng Chuyuan put the two dishes in his hand on the table.
The next second, Qi Yan saw Lu Jinsen pick up the chopsticks and touch her plate of sweet and sour fish.
Seeing this scene, Qi Yan was a little uneasy.
Every group had other dishes, but she won the fish.
Qi Yan walked over here subconsciously. When she was about to speak, Lu Jinsen had already picked up a piece of fish and started eating it with relish.
Seeing the scene of Lu Jinsen eating fish, Qi Yan's pace slowed down unconsciously, and the anxiety on her face was captured by the camera.
[Oh no, the princess's sweet and sour fish was eaten by the young master]
[What about the Princess's Sweet and Sour Fish? That's also Sister Meng's, right? She just provided the ingredients.]
[Hahaha, I have to say, Lu Jinsen is quite brave. He ate the sweet and sour fish right away.]
This is so awkward! Is there no one here to lighten the mood? I'm really afraid they'll start fighting during this meal.
Seeing Lu Jinsen eating so happily, Tingjiu also felt a little greedy.
After he finished eating the piece of bacon in his mouth, he quickly picked up the sweet and sour fish and found it tasted good. This time he directly took the fish tail.
Qi Yan got hot-headed and walked over and sat down angrily, picked up the dishes and chopsticks on the table, and joined them without any courtesy.
This was the first time Qi Yan sat next to Meng Chuyuan so naturally. She was busy sulking and had no time to care about anything else.
When Meng Chuyuan saw her sit down, he went straight for the sweet and sour fish with his chopsticks without any hesitation, which surprised her a little.
Qi Yan followed the cut on the fish, pried up a piece of meat, and put it directly into her mouth.
Originally, she just didn't want to waste the whole morning and win a fish for them to eat for free. She thought that no matter how it tasted, she must eat enough of the fish.
As a result, when the crispy fish meat entered my mouth, the sauce was sour and sweet, the meat was crispy, soft and delicious, and the fishy smell was not that strong.
Qi Yan was stunned for a moment, then chewed mechanically, thinking there was something wrong with her taste buds. After two or three seconds, she realized that the taste was real.
I didn’t expect that the sweet and sour fish that Meng Chuyuan made casually was so delicious.
[Sure enough, no one can resist the temptation of delicious food, especially when it is made by Sister Meng]
Qi Yan said, "Aren't they all from the same pot? How come they're different?"
Qi Yan's expression clearly showed that she was amazed by Sister Meng's cooking skills, but she couldn't bring herself to admit that this was real.
[Oh, I'm tired of saying I want to eat the delicious food that Sister Meng makes. When will this happen?]
She ate the fish in astonishment and swallowed it.
Meng Chuyuan took a mouthful of rice, glanced at her out of the corner of his eye, and secretly observed her expression.
She saw Qi Yan eat it without complaining, so it seemed that she was not here to find fault today.
Lu Jinsen happened to be sitting opposite Qi Yan, and he could see her stunned expression clearly.
Tingjiu ate voraciously, tasting almost every dish on the table, and praised it endlessly, saying, "Sister Chuyuan's cooking skills are amazing. I want to stay here permanently."
Listening to him complaining, Meng Chuyuan replied seriously: "Then you can stay."
"Is it really possible?" Ting Jiu raised his head expectantly, his eyes following the staff of the program crew.
Without waiting for the director to respond, Meng Chuyuan said again lightly: "You can record with my brother-in-law, and let me go back to being my salted fish wife."
It has been a long time since Meng Chuyuan had such a fulfilling life as when he was recording a show.
Maybe she is too young and does not have any big ideals or ambitions at the moment, because she feels that no matter what she does, it seems not attractive enough.
Apart from some new learning methods, nothing else could arouse her desire to make progress.
[Mrs. Salted Fish...Would there really be a man who would marry a woman like this?]
[This is probably the euphemism for a wealthy family’s abandoned wife.]
[I also want to be a salted fish wife, but no one wants me]
[Sister Meng doesn't give me the impression of being a slacker at all. Except for the first episode, which was a bit disappointing, I think the rest of the time she was pretty good.]
When Lu Jinsen heard her idea of quitting the show, a trace of panic suddenly flashed in his eyes.
He signed a contract with the program team for a whole season. If he wants to withdraw, he will not only have to pay liquidated damages, but it will also be the beginning of cutting off his resources.
He didn't have any resources to begin with, and if he lost this show, it's unclear when he would be able to be active in public again.
Apart from his good looks and some acting skills, he can't do anything else and can't help at home.
If he quits the entertainment industry after this, Lu Jinsen doesn’t know what he can do.
However, the person who was more panicked than Lu Jinsen was the director. He was sitting in front of the monitor and eating a box lunch. When he heard what Meng Chuyuan said, he suddenly felt that the box lunch in his hand was not delicious anymore.
The director looked at Tingjiu and said with some dissatisfaction, "What's this guy doing? He's even talking nonsense while eating..."
Ting Jiu raised his eyes to glance at Lu Jinsen, and suddenly shook his head: "Forget it, I don't want to record with him, and he can't cook."
