Chapter 81 Exclusive (81) Desert Restaurant. …
"So sudden?" Shen Qingyue lowered her head to look at the apron on her body, then looked at Doudou who was already getting excited, and finally her gaze fell on Xu Can's face.
Xu Can answered generously: "Yeah."
"Okay, let's eat first." Shen Qingyue smiled helplessly and turned to walk towards the kitchen.
[Hahaha, now that things have come to this, let’s eat first]
[Qingqing's reaction was quite calm. There was an uncle and nephew duo who were busy packing their luggage. I won't say who they were.]
[I want to see what Xiao Shen cooked for lunch, and I am confused about ordering takeout...]
Knowing that they would set off in the afternoon, but not expecting it to be so early, Shen Qingyue simply fried two vegetarian dishes.
Scrambled eggs with tomatoes, stir-fried green bean sprouts, and a plate of pork ribs with preserved plums in a rich sauce. They smell sour and sweet, and are sprinkled with sesame seeds when they come out of the pot. Just looking at them makes you drool.
"Director, do you want to eat together?" Shen Qingyue filled the kid's bowl with rice, poured the tomato scrambled egg soup on it, mixed it with refreshing green bean sprouts, and added two pieces of spare ribs. After he was done, he did not forget to ask the people standing by.
Xu Can waved his hand: "No, no, we had a working lunch before coming here."
Shen Qingyue nodded: "Okay."
Then I made a bowl for myself following the same method.
The uncle and nephew sat together gnawing on spareribs, and from time to time took a bite of the rice, every grain of which was covered with sweet and fresh soup.
I don't know when the cameraman stood in front of the dining table, set up the camera and took a close-up of the food on the table, then turned the camera to the two people who were eating.
[High-end ingredients often only require the simplest...]
[How does Qingqing make such ordinary food so delicious?]
[I can’t eat it! It’s sour! It’s bitter! It’s burnt!]
[It’s mainly because the camera is so good, and Doudou’s meal smells really good! Baby, eat more! ]
After finishing the meal and clearing away the dishes, Shen Qingyue led Doudou to get the suitcase, with the camera crew following behind them.
He sorted all the things after he came back from shopping yesterday, and now they are neatly stacked in boxes.
In addition to the things the director told me to buy, there were also various long-sleeved and short-sleeved clothes, facial masks, and after-sun repair products, all of which were bought at the cosmetics store yesterday.
He also took Gu Yuzhi's clothes with him after drying them and put them in a beautiful paper bag.
"Ahahaha, it seems our Xiao Shen is very well prepared."
Naturally, as soon as Xu Can came in, he noticed a pile of things in the box with his sharp eyes and smiled mysteriously.
As Shen Qingyue pulled up the box, he turned around and looked at him: "It's the program crew's request, so of course I have to prepare well."
"Yes, get ready."
There weren't many things in Doudou's small box, so the cub easily pushed it aside. When the camera couldn't see it, he had quietly put on his blue-framed polar bear sunglasses.
This pair of sunglasses is the one with small animals on it that Shen Qingyue bought for me before. I checked yesterday and found that it is usable, so I didn’t buy new ones.
"Okay, we can go now." Shen Qingyue stood up and asked, "Shall we go?"
“Rough hair!” Doudou clenched his fists tightly and shouted loudly while pushing the small suitcase.
Sitting in the program crew's car, the group quickly arrived at the airport.
"This time the destination is quite far away. In order to provide guests and audiences with a better program experience, the live broadcast will be turned on after arrival."
Xu Can stood next to the cameraman and said to the adults and children who were already wearing light sun protection clothing: "Please parents and our children say goodbye to everyone. We will see you in a few hours~"
"Warm reminder, in one hour, the official show's Weibo account will release a preview of this destination."
"Susu, auntie, brother, sister, we must come together."
The cool kid in sunglasses grinned happily, raised his right hand, and waved at the camera with a smile.
"See you later, everyone." Shen Qingyue nodded gently to the camera.
The live broadcast room was disconnected amid the "wailing" of the bullet screen.
After getting the boarding pass and preparing to board the plane, Shen Qingyue and Gu Yanzhi checked in on WeChat to check that they were safe, and then they each boarded their flights.
Including the layover, the flight lasted nearly four hours. Shen Qingyue had just taken off the sleeping mask on his face when he landed.
Doudou had just woken up and was drinking water from his small water bottle. His big round eyes looked outside curiously, then at Shen Qingyue.
"We're here. We'll meet other families at the airport gate, take a bus to the city, and then take an SUV to our destination." Xu Can reminded in a low voice.
Shen Qingyue nodded in response. He had almost guessed where the destination was.
The temperature after getting off the plane was indeed much higher than at home. The wind blowing in our faces was dry and hot, blowing towards our faces and skin.
Shen Qingyue took out his sunglasses and put them on.
He was wearing a silver-gray long-sleeved sun protection suit, which was a bit like a combat jacket. The zipper on the chest went all the way to the neck and the collar was turned up, which was very different from his usual style.
"Xiao Susu has hidden his eyes~" the cub, who was also wearing sunglasses, said in a soft and sweet voice.
Shen Qingyue leaned over and scratched his little nose: "Doudou is the same."
After leaving the airport, what comes into view is a vast expanse of yellow land, with patches of green plants dotted around it.
This is a plain. At first glance, there are no undulating mountains, only endless flat land, which has a special and unique beauty.
"Here we come!"
Shen Qingyue and Doudou were the first family to arrive. Not long after they stood still, they heard the enthusiastic voice of Nuonuo's mother.
He turned around to look, and was shocked by the complete equipment of her and Nuonuo.
He was wearing a rolled-brimmed sun hat, sunglasses, ice sleeves, and a mask on his face. He looked so tightly wrapped that not even his facial features were visible.
"Haha, you guys covered it so tightly." Shen Qingyue sighed.
Nuonuo's mother adjusted the brim of her hat in a casual manner and said, "Of course I have to. I checked before I came here. It's been very hot in N City recently, and the ultraviolet rays are very strong. We have to pay close attention."
Xu Can suddenly popped his head aside and looked at her suspiciously: "Did you check before coming here? How did you know we were going to come here?"
"Director, the item tips you gave are very obvious, aren't they? Besides, we need to bring so many things, and the only place in the country that's this hot right now is City N..."
While Nuonuo's mother was still complaining to Xu Can, Doudou, who was kicking stones on the ground with his boots, suddenly noticed two familiar figures not far away.
"Gu Susu! Brother Xiaoxun!"
The cub shouted with joy, raised its two little hands, and ran forward in small steps. After only a few steps, it fell into Gu Tanzhi's arms.
Xiaoxun, who was originally very happy to see Doudou, looked at them strangely because Doudou went to find his uncle first.
"Doudou."
Gu Xianzhi and Xiao Xun were also wearing sunglasses like Shen Qingyue and the others. At this time, they were holding Doudou in their arms. Their originally stern and cold faces softened at this moment: "You look really nice in what you are wearing today."
The cub smiled and shook his head, then turned to look down at Xiaoxun. Only then was he surprised to find that he was wearing sunglasses. The cub clapped his hands and said happily, "Xiaoxun has the same sunglasses as me."
"Yes! This is the gift you gave me." Gu Xiaoxun didn't bother to understand why Doudou suddenly liked his uncle so much. He just nodded seriously.
"I'm here." Shen Qingyue had never taken his eyes off them since he ran from Doudou to find Gu Yinzhi. When he reached their side, Gu Yinzhi stood with him naturally.
Gu Xianzhi nodded: "Has it been a long time?"
Shen Qingyue: "No, about three to five minutes."
Gu Xianzhi put Doudou down and let him and Xiaoxun go play: "How have you been these past few days?"
"Not bad, but after you left, Doudou would mutter a few words from time to time, wanting to hear your stories." Shen Qingyue answered in a low voice.
There was a hint of helplessness in Gu Xizhi's smile: "Xiao Xun doesn't like to hear it, but if Dou Dou likes it, I will continue to tell him."
Shen Qingyue looked at him, his clear black eyes flashing in the sunlight: "Well, it's actually quite interesting."
Gu Weizhi: "Do you like it?"
Shen Qingyue: "I like it."
While we were chatting, all five families had gathered. Everyone was wearing long-sleeved sunscreen and most of them were wearing sunglasses and hats.
We exchanged greetings for a while. Since there was no live broadcast, the parents were also very relaxed.
After gathering, Xu Can used a small loudspeaker to call everyone to walk towards the bus waiting at the door.
After an hour's drive, the bus quickly arrived in the city. It was three o'clock in the afternoon, the hottest time of the day. Fortunately, the bus had air conditioning, so there was no particular discomfort.
"We will reach our destination in one more hour. Thank you for your hard work today~" After sitting in the car for a long time, Xu Can encouraged everyone with a loud speaker: "The program team will treat everyone to dinner tonight!"
After getting off the bus, the program team distributed water and snacks to everyone, and the five families were arranged in five off-road vehicles.
The first and last two cars belonged to the director's crew, and in the middle were cars belonging to five families, all with local drivers. The row of cars was driving in an orderly manner on the road.
"Wow, there are so many bleating~"
The kid was sitting in the back seat of the car, with a lollipop in his mouth, looking outside with a look of surprise.
Shen Qingyue also heard the sound and looked over. There was yellow sand on both sides of the road. This seemed to be a scenic spot. There were many tourists dressed like them taking pictures and having fun.
There were people walking camels and beach goats on the roadside, selling water, snacks, and stuffed animal toys.
"Mee mee, big horns!" Doudou gestured with his hands, put his two little hands on his forehead, turned around and cosplayed as a beach sheep for Xiaosusu.
"Oh, Doudou has turned into a lamb. Let me take a bite of it." Shen Qingyue teased the cub and was about to grab his little paw.
Doudou smiled and tucked his head in to avoid being touched by Shen Qingyue, pinching his little paws.
After driving for nearly an hour, they finally arrived at their destination: "Jiaheguan Desert."
At the same time, the live broadcast room's screen also started to reconnect at this moment.
"The Jiaheguan Desert is located on the border of N City. The desert has a variety of landforms, including not only sand dunes, but also grasslands, plains, lake basins, etc. It is the habitat of many birds and animals.
The locals here mostly make their living by herding, and although it is not suitable for long-term residence, there are many settlements here. ”
The passionate and vivid pilot video ends with the vast scenery of the desert and close-ups of flora and fauna.
After the video was finished, the live broadcast screen cut to the people at that moment.
"It's so hot." Mai Mai wiped the sweat off her face with her hand and fanned herself.
"Yes, director, when can we go indoors?" Among the five groups of guests, the group of Nuonuo's mother and Nuonuo was the most serious, and at this time they also pulled half of the masks off their faces.
"Everyone, don't worry. Let me first announce the mission of this desert trip." Xu Can cleared his throat and said loudly: "Desert Restaurant!"
“Parents and children need to prepare the necessary items for running a restaurant within one day, and then receive the mysterious guests in the next two days.”
"The profits from the restaurant will be donated in your name to the local desert oasis project, so that your names will be left here and it will become a lush, small forest that belongs to you."
"This mission is quite meaningful." Shen Qingyue commented.
Gu Yanzhi responded, "Indeed."
Xu Can's expression was slightly proud: "Okay, now let's announce everyone's first small task."
He waved his hand, and a few locals came over with camels in their hands. "Parents, please take your children on the camels and follow the designated route to the desert restaurant."
