Chapter 021: The baby doesn't eat carrots
The seasonal vegetable and shrimp porridge is out of the pot. The porridge is warm and moist. The rice grains are full and soft, and the fresh shrimps are dotted in it. The pink color is particularly attractive. Each shrimp is full and firm, with the fresh breath of the ocean. The various vegetables add some color to the whole bowl of porridge.
The grilled sausage was the kind that Chef Wang bought from home and was frozen in the freezer. Just put the whole thing into the air fryer and it will be ready in about fifteen minutes.
Fresh eggs, a proper amount of high-gluten flour, a handful of green onions, salt, cooking oil and other seasonings. After mixing evenly, add a proper amount of milk, which not only increases the milk flavor but also makes the egg pancake softer.
Heat the pan with cold oil and pour the batter in. Turn the pan so that the batter spreads quickly in the pan, making a sizzling sound. Fry slowly over low heat and wait patiently for the bottom of the pancake to gradually solidify and turn golden.
When the edge of the waffle begins to curl up slightly, you can start turning it over, and turn it over several times during the process. This will make the waffle more crispy.
Xie Luoshu had never made it before, so Chef Wang showed him how to make it first. Chef Wang had a good grasp of the heat, and the pancakes were golden and crispy. It looked simple, but it was difficult to do. Xie Luoshu made a few pancakes, but they were either burnt or not cooked enough and were soft.
"Ding-dong-dong..." Xie Luoshu was holding a spatula, staring intently at the pancakes in the frying pan when the phone rang.
Xie Luoshu took out his cell phone. It was Chen Dongxu.
Chef Wang immediately said, "Mr. Xie, I'll take care of the rest."
"Okay, thank you for your help." Xie Luoshu put down the spatula, answered the phone and walked out, "Hello, Brother Dong."
"'Baby Comes 2' will be officially announced at 12 noon today." Chen Dongxu should also know about Xie Luoshu's situation, and he was not polite to Xie Luoshu at all.
"I understand." Xie Luoshu picked up the still warm milk, "Anything else?"
"What could it be?" Chen Dongxu said sarcastically, "If there is anything else, you will sue me."
"Heh." Xie Luoshu chuckled, "I'm glad to know."
"Wait." Xie Luoshu was about to hang up when Chen Dongxu stopped him. "Let's talk about the termination of the contract after the show ends. In the show..."
"Don't worry. I won't tell you on the show."
"I'm busy with other things. I'll send you the director's WeChat. You can contact him directly regarding the variety show." After saying that, Chen Dongxu quickly hung up the phone.
"Brother Dong, what did he say?" The man next to him looked to be in his twenties, with heavy makeup on his face that made him look like an internet celebrity.
"What can you say?" Chen Dongxu said in a bad tone, "He will terminate his contract with the company after the variety show ends. How can he help you?"
"Humph." The man was very angry and crossed his arms. "He is an unknown celebrity who became famous in recent years by relying on some scandals. You want to terminate the contract? Brother Dong, if it weren't for you and the company, would he be famous? He is so ungrateful."
"So what?" Chen Dongxu sat paralyzed in a chair with a headache. "But I fired all his assistants. He is the only one left. He can't cause any trouble in the Kids Variety Show."
"But... isn't he taking Mr. Gu's son to the variety show?"
"Heh." Chen Dongxu sneered, "I don't know him? He's just pretending to be rich. I guess he found an imposter somewhere. He told me before that the kid couldn't even speak and he didn't even bother to pay attention to him."
The man's eyes lit up: "Brother Dong, if President Gu knew about this..."
Chen Dongxu stood up suddenly: "Yes, if Mr. Gu knew about this, he would be finished."
Chen Dongxu has been busy with his husband these past two days. Although they are all small trips, they are too much and he is exhausted. He doesn't even have time to check his phone. He just found out that Xie Luoshu wants to terminate the contract.
But he was full of energy now. He dialed a number: "Hello? I have a business deal..."
Xie Luoshu saw Chen Dongxu hang up the phone and thought this man was really weird. Seeing that he wanted to terminate the contract, he just gave up and left him alone.
It doesn’t matter. Xie Luoshu applied to add the director’s WeChat.
Note: Hello director, I am Xie Luoshu.
The director quickly approved Xie Luoshu's friend request.
Director Zhu: Hello, hello, I am the director of "Baby Comes 2". I will invite you to join the group.
Director Zhu: [Director Zhu invites you to join the group chat "Zizi 2 Concentration Camp"]
Xie Luoshu clicked "Agree".
Director Zhu: The last group of parents has joined the group, welcome!
Staff 1: [Welcome.jpg]
Liu Ruotong: Welcome, welcome!
Bai Xueling: Welcome!
…………
Director Zhu: Now that everyone is here, let me say this. The program team will make an official announcement at 12:00 pm today at Big Eyes! @仔仔来了了2. Please promote it to the guests at that time.
Liu Ruotong: [OK.jpg]
Wen Mingyuan: OK.
Xie Luoshu: OK.
Secretary Xie Luo remembers that Liu Ruotong is a stuntman. She won an award this year. Bai Xueling was a well-known actress before, but she retired from the entertainment industry because of her marriage and is now planning to make a comeback.
Wen Mingyuan is the main character and a traffic star. He is an actor but his acting skills are so-so and he is often criticized. However, he is good-looking and very good to his fans. His fans are sticky and his traffic is also good.
There is another main character who has not spoken, Zou Jiayan. Zou Jiayan was originally an idol, but later transformed into an actor. His acting skills... are hard to describe. But when he was in the talent show, he attracted a lot of fans. Most of the fans bought in for his looks, and didn't care much about Zou Jiayan's poor acting skills. Many directors would ask him to act for popularity.
There is nothing much to say about Zou Jiayan and the original owner. The two of them didn't have much in common. It was mainly because of an audition. The original owner and Zou Jiayan's acting skills are actually the same, and it can even be said that the original owner is a little better than Zou Jiayan, at least he can let go instead of standing there staring.
Originally, the director was torn between the original owner and Zou Jiayan. It wasn't a big-budget role. And both sides were given advantages. But the director finally chose Zou Jiayan.
As for the reason, it is because Zou Jiayan is prettier than the original owner. That character's personality is just a pretty little waste, a vase.
Of course the original owner was not convinced. At that time, the original owner's makeup was quite normal. To be fair, she was indeed better looking than Zou Jiayan. The reason why Zou Jiayan was able to show off his high looks in the talent show and win fans was 50% due to the makeup artist.
The original owner immediately dissed Zou Jiayan online. He also confronted Zou Jiayan's fans head-on. Zou Jiayan's fans are not vegetarians. They used all kinds of real and fake negative information and ugly photos to attack him. He was on the hot search for two days.
Because of this, the brainless company of the original owner decided to do something bad to the original owner. They made the original owner look ugly. I don't know if the original owner was innocent but stupid, and was fooled by the company.
Now, because of his black-and-red stance, Zou Jiayan’s fans do not actually acknowledge that the original owner was Zou Jiayan’s rival.
Logically speaking, it took some time for the last season of "Baby's Coming" to become popular, so they were not supposed to be able to host such a program. However, this season was changed to a live broadcast.
Live variety shows have only recently started to gain popularity. Only a few variety shows have adopted this method. For the program team, the large amount of traffic is a good thing. But for the guests, it may not be the same. Live variety shows face the problem of everything being transparent and open, and there is no script.
If you are not careful, your true nature may be exposed. Then won't the image you have worked so hard to establish collapse? There are many stars who have appeared on live variety shows for traffic, but they have all failed.
It's okay if the character collapses, just lose some fans. Change the character to attract other fans. But if some secrets are revealed, it will be bad.
A few days ago, a celebrity was caught sleeping with a fan while playing a game on a live variety show.
But there are also those who perform well in live variety shows, whose shining points are seen by others, who turn the tide against all odds and even successfully clean themselves up. It can be said that it is a high-risk, high-reward situation.
Therefore, many celebrities are still reluctant to take the risk of participating in this kind of live variety show. Moreover, this is a variety show for children. With children! It can be said that it is more likely to fail.
So when Wa Zong first started looking for people, they were reluctant to come. It was hard to find a few people with traffic.
To be on the safe side, the program team also changed the rules and asked the guests to bring children who were related to them. Last season was actually a bit awkward at the beginning. The adults were not very familiar with each other, but they just knew each other. The children were even less familiar with the adults. At the beginning, collecting the toys from the children was a mess. In order to make it more interesting, the program team found several welfare homes and specially selected a few children who were a bit naughty. As a result, the beginning of the program was criticized, and it gradually got better later.
Director Zhu: This season of "Baby Comes 2" will be broadcast live. Before the first season begins, we will have a pilot film recorded at the homes of the guests. A dedicated staff member will contact you at that time. The recording time is set for seven days later, at 9:00 a.m. If you have any questions, please contact the corresponding staff.
Bai Xueling: Good director.
Zou Jiayan: Yeah, okay.
…………
Staff 1 requests to add you as a friend. Is your request approved?
Staff 1: Hello, Mr. Xie. This is our staff member who will be in contact with you.
Xie Luoshu: Hello.
Staff 1: Please provide your home address, contact information and your baby's information.
Xie Luoshu: OK. XX District, XX City, XX Province. 195XXXXXXXX. Baby information: …………
Xie Luoshu: Will the program crew notify us in advance when they come to visit?
Staff 1: Okay, got it.
Staff 1: Seven days later at nine in the morning. Mr. Xie and Zaizai should be home.
Playing dirty tricks? Xie Luoshu raised his eyebrows. It seemed that the production team was planning a surprise attack.
Xie Luoshu: Yes.
After sending the message, Xie Luoshu glanced at the time. It was almost time. Chef Wang had already worked quickly and prepared the remaining scallion egg pancakes.
Sure enough, after a while, Aunt Liu came downstairs carrying Yanyan.
"Sit down, baby." Xie Luoshu brought Yanyan tableware specially for babies, "Baby, guess who made breakfast today?"
【Hey, guess it! It’s me. It’s me.】
Yan Yan was calm and confident, pointing at Xie Luoshu: "Yeah!"
"Oh my!" Xie Luoshu was overjoyed and rubbed Yanyan's little face, "Baby is so smart!"
It wasn't noticeable in front of Yanyan, but his calves were shaking back and forth happily under the table.
"This porridge is made by your little dad. Try it." Xie Luoshu picked a few shrimps and put them in Yanyan's bowl, and said uncertainly, "There shouldn't be anything that you don't like, right?"
Yanyan took a sip obediently, then slowly spat out a red object.
"Huh? Baby doesn't eat carrots?" Xie Luoshu turned his head and asked Chef Wang who was standing beside him.
