Chapter 83 Exclusive (83) Desert Adventure~…

Conditions in the desert are limited. It may seem easy to make a creative dish in one day, but it is actually not easy.

[Is stewing food in sand a local specialty? ]

[Well... let's just say...]

[It's still quite hard to find one yourself. I wish to eat meat and vegetables all my life. I can easily pass the test by changing to Xiao Shen's wife——]

It was already past nine o'clock in the evening when we returned to the room after dinner. The adults lined up to bathe the cubs and themselves, and it was already late at night when they lay down in bed.

The temperature difference between day and night in the desert is huge. The air conditioner is turned off at this time, but it is not stuffy indoors.

Shen Qingyue lay on the bed and closed his eyes for a while. He was not familiar with this bed, but it was his first time to spend the night in such a place, so he couldn't help but feel novel when he thought about it.

Moonlight filtered through the gaps in the curtains, swaying gently on the floor as the night wind blew in.

[The good thing about Datong Store is that they don’t cover the cameras at night, hahahaha]

…

The next day, the director team did not wake them up early as usual.

The sun rises early here, and it is almost completely out before 6 a.m. Even with blackout curtains, the early morning sunlight cannot be completely blocked, and the entire second-floor room is bright.

Shen Qingyue woke up at seven in the morning, while other parents and children were still sleeping soundly.

He got out of bed slowly and gently, picked up the washbasin on the bedside and prepared to wash up. The toothbrush and cup in the plastic basin made a clanging sound when they were taken out.

Shen Qingyue closed his eyes somewhat awkwardly, and when he opened his eyes again, his gaze happened to meet Gu Xunzhi's.

"Sorry, did I wake you up?" Shen Qingyue put on her slippers slowly and smiled embarrassedly at Gu Yuzhi.

He had just woken up, with a few tufts of his black hair sticking up in disarray. The sunlight fell on him, and from a discerning angle, it seemed as if he was being filtered through a soft platinum filter.

"No, it's time to wake up at this time." Gu Xizhi also sat up from the bed.

His hairstyle was not much better than Shen Qingyue's, it was frizzy and side-swept, and the light blue pajamas he was wearing took away some of his usual sternness.

"Wash up? Together?" Gu Yinzhi asked again.

[Hahaha, the rare irritable Xiaoqing and the irritable Xiaoshen]

【What are these two people whispering about? 】

[I apply to allow guests to wear microphones when they sleep at night @Administrator 03]

The administrator's bullet screen slowly passed by:

【Reject application~~~】

It is followed by three wavy tildes.

Shen Qingyue nodded: "Okay."

Gu Yuzhi also took his own basin, slowed down his movements, and went out with Shen Qingyue.

[Oh, I know what they were whispering about just now]

[Do you need to brush your teeth and wash your face together? 】

The bathroom where they lived was very small. There was only a sink in the outer room that separated the dry and wet areas. There was just enough space for one adult and one child to take a shower. Daily toiletries had to be placed in a basin and taken in and out.

So it seemed a bit crowded for two big men to go in, so Gu Yinzhi leaned to the side to make Shen Qing stand more comfortably.

"Have you decided what to cook last night?" Shen Qingyue applied facial cleanser on her face and looked at Gu Xunzhi in the mirror.

Gu Yuzhi put down the hot towel in his hand and said, "No."

“I’m not really good at cooking.”

"Haha, I see." After washing off the foam on his face, Shen Qingyue felt refreshed: "But I think you are a good eater."

"?" Gu Xizhi looked at him doubtfully.

"The meals we had together before, and the takeout you ordered from my house, were all delicious."

Shen Qingyue began to apply sunscreen on herself. "I'm not that good at it. I always order the same old things. Sometimes I'll order fast food to save trouble."

Gu Xizhi: "Then next time..."

He paused and said, "I will visit your house more often."

"Welcome, welcome." Shen Qingyue narrowed his eyes and packed his things: "I'm fine, remember to apply some sunscreen, otherwise you might end up with a dark-skinned version of Gu Tan on the way back."

He made a little joke, which successfully made Gu Xizhi chuckle: "Okay, I will keep the current white version."

On the way back, Shen Qingyue met Ishimori who was taking Miki to wash up. He greeted him and when he reached the bedroom, he found that the other two children were also awake.

Because their parents were not at home, the two cubs sat facing each other. Dou Dou was holding a white bear toy obediently, and was concentrating with his brows furrowed as he listened to what Xiao Xun was saying.

"Dou Dou?" Shen Qingyue called softly.

The two cubs turned their heads at the same time, and their synchronous speed surprised Shen Qingyue.

[Hahahaha the handsome guy turns around]

[Only one person was called, but actually two people were called]

[It’s so funny, I can screenshot it and make an animated emoticon. ]

"Little Susu!"

"Uncle Shen."

Doudou and Xiaoxun said in unison.

Shen Qingyue smiled and agreed, then reached out to hug Doudou who opened his arms for a hug, and ruffled Xiaoxun's hair: "What were you doing just now?"

"Tell the fourth story!" Doudou climbed onto Shen Qingyue's arm, got out of bed, put on his little shoes, and shouted as if to take credit, "The fourth story of four camel babies looking for their parents!"

After hearing it said so loudly, Xiao Xun rubbed his nose a little uncomfortably.

"Xiaoxun is great. He can even tell stories to his brother." Shen Qingyue pinched the shy kid's face: "Have you finished your story?"

Doudou nodded and said in a baby voice: "Very spicy!"

"What's over?" Gu Xizhi also walked in from the door.

"Xiao Xun is telling Dou Dou a story, and he just finished." Shen Qingyue held Dou Dou's hand and turned to look at him: "I'll take Dou Dou to wash up first."

"Okay, see you later." Gu Xunzhi watched Shen Qingyue leave with Doudou, then picked up Xiaoxun from the bed, and prepared to dress him lovingly.

Gu Xiaoxun tilted his head and twisted his body, escaping from Gu Xizhi's hands like a nimble fish.

"I want to dress myself!"

Breakfast is prepared by the program team. Whichever family comes down first will eat first. After eating, they can prepare for today's tasks.

I ate a lot of mutton last night, so I wasn't very hungry today, so I just ate something light. Then Shen Qingyue, who was fully armed, led Doudou, who was also fully armed, out the door.

Having learned his lesson yesterday, he wore a pair of thick-soled sneakers today, as did Doudou. Small leather boots are not easy to walk in the sand and are easily torn.

"Xiao Susu, where are we going?" The cub wearing a sky blue straw hat with small clouds asked softly, and when he looked up, his little face wearing blue flower-rimmed sunglasses was revealed.

Shen Qingyue tightened the straps of her backpack and checked the location map on her phone: "There seems to be a market nearby. Let's go check it out first."

"Oh! Let's go and have a look!" Doudou clenched his fist and raised his hand, cheering happily.

[It feels like this will be a very difficult journey...]

[Hiking in the desert at this time? I'm a little worried! P: Qingqing with a backpack really looks like a male! ! ]

[It's the same with other families. I just saw Sister Mai Mai also said she was going to the market, so it shouldn't be far away.]

[It sounds hot, I even turned on the air conditioner on a 25 degree day]

The market shown on the map is two kilometers away, which is not far, but in reality it is very steep to walk there. It is fun at the beginning, but I became very tired after walking for a while.

After walking for a while and resting for a while, Shen Qingyue sat in the sand and stretched his legs. They came out early, and the sand at this point was not hot on his buttocks, but just warm.

"Doudou, don't run any further, it's dangerous!"

Shen Qingyue watched Doudou run more than ten meters away. Although there was a camera following him, he still stood up hurriedly and called him.

Doudou's two short legs immediately stopped walking, but he still looked into the Haloxylon ammodendron tree in front of him, then turned around and said loudly to Shen Qingyue: "Xiao Susu! There's a tit!"

"Mimi? Cat?" Shen Qingyue frowned slightly, and walked quickly forward while reminding: "Don't touch it."

The Mimi that Doudou mentioned are indeed cats, a tortoise shell and a orange cat. They look very small, probably only a few months old.

It hid in the shade of the trees and was not afraid of people. When it saw them coming, it even sat down lazily and licked its fur.

"Little kittens!" Doudou pointed at the two kittens with his little hand, raised his head and smiled sweetly at Shen Qingyue, revealing a few tiny teeth: "Little kittens are playing in the desert!"

"These should be kittens from other people's homes. They will go home by themselves soon." Shen Qingyue pinched Doudou's little hand: "Shall we continue shopping?"

"Okay!" Doudou nodded his head, squatted down and waved goodbye to the two cats, saying softly, "Mimi, Mimi, goodbye."

[Wow, there's a house nearby? And there's a cat?]

[I even began to suspect that these two cats were deliberately arranged by the director team]

[Administrator 03: It’s unfair, Master Qingtang! ]

[Pfft, either the program crew arranged it or it was raised by the nearby residents. There are quite a lot of residents in the desert. This time the restaurant is located on the edge of the desert.]

"Who are you?" As I was about to continue walking along the original route with Doudou, I heard a strange, clear child's voice not far away.

Shen Qingyue paused while looking at his phone, then looked towards the source of the voice: "?"

Doudou also looked around curiously with his big eyes.

The person who came was a little girl who looked about six or seven years old. She had dark skin but a strong body. Even at such a young age, you could tell that her facial features were deep and beautiful.

She had her hair braided and was wearing clothes similar to those worn by the local guides when they rode camels yesterday.

"Little girl, we are from outside the area and came to the desert to film a show." Shen Qingyue leaned down slightly and explained to her gently.

The little girl looked a little wary. She looked at Doudou, then at the camera. She tilted her head and thought for a moment, "Is this a TV show?"

"Yes, we are in the electric room!" The little boy, who is a head shorter than his sister, answered enthusiastically.

"Okay." The little girl bent down, reached into the bushes, and expertly grabbed the two kittens by the scruff of their necks and held them in her arms: "Are you TV stars?"

Doudou shook his head earnestly and patiently explained to the little girl: "No, we are here to play."

"The camera is facing you, and you are now in the TV." Shen Qingyue chuckled and reminded.

"Ah?" The little girl's eyes were no longer alert. After hearing Shen Qingyue's words, her expression became a little shy. She pushed the kitten towards the camera facing her and said, "You take pictures of them. They are prettier than me."

"I think you're pretty, too." Shen Qingyue said, "Is this your cat?"

The little girl blushed and nodded: "Yes."

After chatting for a while, I learned that the girl's name is Tam, she is seven years old, lives nearby, and has several cats at home. These two are newborns this year.

"Tam, I'm glad to meet you today." Shen Qingyue took out some snacks from his backpack. He didn't bring many snacks with him, only a box of cookies and a few pieces of bread. "This is a gift for you. We have to continue our mission."

The little girl hesitated for a moment, wanting to wave her hand to refuse, but Shen Qingyue had already stuffed the bag into her hand: "Goodbye."

"What mission are you going to do?" Tam called Shen Qingyue and looked at him with his big black and white eyes: "Can I help?"

“We are going to make a dish with local characteristics…”

Before Shen Qingyue finished speaking, Tam blushed and said happily: "I'll help you. Can we go to my house?"

"Help with the mission?" Doudou thought seriously in his little head, then raised his head to look at Shen Qingyue.

Shen Qingyue had a flash of inspiration.

Although I can't ask Tam to cook, as a local, she must have special ingredients at home, and I can also take the opportunity to learn how to cook.

The cameraman's headset is used to keep in touch with the director to ensure their safety and the places they cannot go.

Shen Qingyue and the cameraman looked at each other and saw that the other nodded, so he readily replied to Tam, "Thank you, we'll bother you then."
