Bai Zhilan hadn't had a proper meal for a long time. Although her mouth was still greedy, her stomach couldn't take it. She had to put down her chopsticks after eating only half a bowl of rice. The cameraman who was responsible for following her looked at the half pot of boneless fish left and swallowed silently.
Bai Zhilan stood up and wanted to go next door to see what her mother was doing, but the director held up a sign with a big line of words written on it: [Do you want more fish? Don't let us eat it! 】
The cameraman had a sudden idea and included the director holding the sign in the camera, causing the audience to burst into laughter. This production crew is so funny. They even gave up their dignity for a few leftovers? However, through this small detail, they finally confirmed that Bai Ma's cooking skills were not exaggerated or staged, they were really good. The part where she killed the fish alone was comparable to that of a five-star chef.
At this time, a barrage of comments suddenly popped up in the live broadcast room: [I am Yuan Zhongyi, the head chef of Yupin Pavilion. Where can I contact Ms. Lin? I hope she can authorize our restaurant to cook this dish. 】
Where is Yupin Pavilion? That is a state-owned restaurant used by national leaders to entertain foreign guests. It is a gathering place for top chefs, and the head chef Yuan Zhongyi is a well-known figure in the food world. When the Prime Minister of Country Y visited China, he specifically asked for the dishes he cooked. These top-tier celebrities in the entertainment industry are trying their best to get close to him, but he took the initiative to cue Bai Ma? Is this person an imposter?
Where does this drama queen come from? Is this to add more drama to myself or to Bai Zhilan and her mother? This gimmick created by the program team makes me feel a little disgusted. Don’t you even consider whether you can take advantage of Teacher Yuan’s popularity? He makes friends with big shots in both the political and business circles. What do you think of Bai Zhilan? 】
The haters were about to seize on this point to criticize her, but Yuan Zhongyi posted a long article on Yupin Pavilion's official Weibo account, titled "On the Beauty of Cooking Skills". He took screenshots of every step of Lin Dan's fish-roasting and carefully analyzed it, from the knife skills to the heat, to the seasoning, praising and admiring every detail. In the end, he concluded: "Without decades of hard work, it is impossible to make such a dish that can be compared to a work of art. As the saying goes, there are masters among the people, and today I am finally convinced. If there is a chance, I hope to have a good discussion with Ms. Lin."
Once his article came out, it was equivalent to the official certification of Lin Dan's cooking skills, which caused an uproar among netizens and also slapped the haters in the face, silencing them collectively.
Netizens who have not watched "The Untamed Kids at Home" flocked into the live broadcast room, ready to get to know this folk master. Even those who were not planning to watch this variety show were attracted. The appeal of delicious food in China far exceeds that of all the popular stars.
Finding that public opinion on the Internet had completely reversed, no one was talking about Bai Zhilan's bare face anymore, and the trending search #烂脸王# had long been suppressed, Xiaoguo said happily: "Sister Yuwei, we don't need to talk to Aunt Lin, just follow her pace. Only a mother would treat her child well in such a tough way. The audience now agrees with her approach. Let's contact Master Yuan later to see if we can invite him as a guest."
Guo Yuwei nodded, but her eyes flickered. She never thought that Bai Zhilan would get through this crisis in just one meal. How could her mother be so powerful?
Bai Zhilan had turned off her phone, so she had no idea what was happening on the Internet. She walked into the cubicle to see what her mother was doing, but was stunned by the dazzling array of glass instruments: "Is this your pharmacy? It's so professional? You can also do experiments?"
"Well, some medicines need to be refined, extracted, and distilled. Besides, growing flowers also requires the preparation of growth fluids and mutagens," Lin Dan explained as he put various medicinal materials into a container and boiled them. "Growing flowers is not as simple as you think."
"I just understand now." Bai Zhilan once again looked at her mother with admiration. She knew so much!
[Bai Ma is a little magical!] 】The audience sighed sincerely.
"What are you doing?" Bai Zhilan asked curiously.
"I'm preparing a hair growth paste for you." Lin Dan put herbs such as Polygonum multiflorum, Asarum, Ginseng, Notopterygium wilfordii, and Angelica dahurica into a flask and heated them. After filtering out the residue, he continued to heat them until they became a paste. After cooling, he added medical alcohol and borneol, stirred them evenly, and put them into a glass box. Her skillful technique once again stunned the audience in the live broadcast room.
[Is anyone studying medicine?] Can you please explain whether Bai Ma is posing for the photo? 】
[I studied medicine. Bai Ma's technique is very professional, but I don't know whether the finished product can stop hair loss and promote hair growth. After all, I didn't see clearly what medicine she used. There are no medicine labels on her cabinet. 】
[She didn't post the name of the medicine because she knew the name of the medicine and was afraid that others would learn her family's old folk remedy. 】
[Can handmade medicines meet quality standards? Will the bacteria exceed the standard? 】
[As long as it’s not oral medication, it should be okay, right? 】
[I am afraid that I won’t be able to stop the hair loss, but instead accelerate Bai Zhilan’s alopecia areata, which would be a tragedy. 】
Lin Dan's professional approach attracted many people, but also aroused many doubts. Bai Zhilan looked at the box of ointment with doubt and asked, "Can it really promote hair growth?"
Lin Dan said firmly: "Really, use this ointment to warm your hair every day and wash it off after five minutes. How long have you been suffering from insomnia?"
Bai Zhilan deliberately avoided the topic and denied it, "I slept well."
Lin Dan glanced at her and said calmly: "That's not what your dark circles say."
Bai Zhilan: “…”
audience:【……】
[After identification, Bai Ma is indeed a devil, hahahaha...]
Lin Dan prepared a new packet of medicine and poured it into the casserole to cook.
Bai Zhilan calmed down and continued to ask, "What kind of medicine is this?"
"Here's some medicine for your insomnia." Lin Dan frowned and said, "You're so sick at such a young age. What will you do when you get older?"
What to do when you get old? Bai Zhilan had never thought about this question because she was not sure if she could live to that time. She was self-loathing and self-denying every day, and then fell into the abyss of self-destruction. There was a suffocating silence in the pharmacy, and the audience in the live broadcast room were also infected by the gloomy atmosphere and felt anxious.
[I was born in the 2000s, but I have all the same problems as Bai Zhilan, such as insomnia, hair loss, and skin allergies, which often make me feel embarrassed. 】
[You are not alone. I was born in the 90s, but my forehead is already bald and I can only cover it with bangs. 】
[Today's young people are in serious sub-health conditions and need to take good care of themselves. I think it was right for Bai Zhilan to participate in this program. At least she has her mother to accompany her now. Regardless of whether her mother really knows medical skills or not, being able to express concern is a great comfort to her. 】
Bai Zhilan did feel comforted. She looked at her mother who was busy and hardworking, and tears welled up in her eyes. Regardless of whether this is a false appearance put on by the other party for the purpose of filming the show, having such a few days in a lifetime is enough. She brought a small stool and sat quietly beside her mother, enjoying this brief moment that could only be had in dreams.
Lin Dan’s pharmaceutical manufacturing techniques are very sophisticated and fluent. From extraction to separation and mixing, every step is like carving a piece of art and is very aesthetic. The audience enjoyed the performance just by watching from the side. The other guests on the show were all about family matters and tender affection, but Lin Dan's side was much more exciting. Her cooking skills are first-rate, and her medicine preparation skills seem to be first-rate as well, really advanced!
When Lin Dan poured the boiled medicine into the bowl and told Bai Zhilan to drink it, the audience even felt a little unsatisfied.
"Eat this too." A red pill lay in Lin Dan's palm.
"What is this? Isn't it bad to take too much medicine?"
"This is for your health." Lin Dan stuffed the medicine into Bai Zhilan's mouth without further ado and ordered, "Take the medicine and lie down on the bed. I promise you'll fall asleep in less than ten minutes."
"What if I can't sleep? Will you be responsible?" Bai Zhilan asked back.
Lin Dan stared at her for a while, then slowly said, "Are you like that? Is that what they say on the Internet?"
"What?" Bai Zhilan asked relentlessly.
"Long Jing?"
Bai Zhilan was choked and her cheeks turned red instantly.
[Hahahahaha…]
[Hahahahahaha, so prosperous, so dazed…]
[This is the first time I see Bai Zhilan being speechless. She used to be the only one who was sarcastic to others. 】
[My biological mother will always be my biological mother!] This poisonous tongue is inherited from generation to generation, hahahaha...】
The audience in the live broadcast room was amused, but Bai Zhilan had nothing to say. She could only take a sip of water and swallow the pill. She took so many medicines in one day, two oral ones, one for face and one for hair, and none of them were produced by legitimate manufacturers. She was really worried. But these were all given by her mother, and even if they were poison, she couldn't refuse them.
"Okay, go to bed." Lin Dan waved his hand.
Bai Zhilan absolutely could not fall asleep before four or five in the morning, but her mother had spoken and she had to obey. Fans who are familiar with her said with certainty: [Our Lanlan is still active on Weibo at 3 or 4 in the morning every day. There is no way she can sleep! 】
[It is because of staying up late that she has such severe hair loss. 】
Under the gaze of the audience, Bai Zhilan lay down in bed and began to count sheep. At first she was very anxious and kept tossing and turning in bed. She picked up her mobile phone several times, as if she was going to check Weibo, but put it back several times. She tried to adjust to the time difference, but the results were not ideal.
[Seeing her tossing and turning in sleep, I seemed to see myself. 】

Insomnia has become an epidemic among young people. Many patients sent barrages to find organizations and set up bets to see how long Bai Zhilan can last. It is only 8:30 now, when the nightlife is just beginning. Other guests are still chatting with their parents, watching TV, playing games, trying to attract attention, but at the same time, Bai Zhilan has already lay down, but the ratings have inexplicably climbed to the first place.
You should know that every viewer who enters the live broadcast room has to pay. The free, edited programs can be watched on TV stations and the Internet, but they will be broadcast 24 hours later than the live broadcast room. After Bai Zhilan removed her makeup, the number of people in the live broadcast room began to increase sharply. When her mother was cooking dinner, the number of viewers, which had been stable, climbed a little again. Now that the mother and daughter were getting ready to go to bed, the number of people increased significantly again. The three small peaks in membership payment on that day were all created by Bai Zhilan and her daughter. The operator of the live broadcast platform was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.
A staff member whispered, "Today's audience is so weird. They actually like to watch others sleep. Director, should we turn off the camera? According to the contract, we can't film after the guest falls asleep."
"Wait a minute, the ratings are still rising," the director stared at the monitor and said carefully, "Let's wait until Teacher Bai falls asleep before turning it off." However, as soon as he finished speaking, Bai Zhilan, who was rolling around, became quiet, and within thirty seconds she even made a slight snoring sound.
One viewer wrote in astonishment: [Fuck, I timed it, and it took Bai Zhilan exactly nine and a half minutes from the time she went to bed to the time she fell asleep! Is Bai Ma’s medicine really that effective? ! ! 】
