After a while, Huang Lei finished preparing the dishes. Chen Zixin also came out with the dishes. When Huang Lei saw them, she called for everyone to take their seats.
The tables in the gazebo were filled with dishes, making people drool.
The live broadcast room said enviously.
" It's time to release the poison again."
" This is simply torture."
Why should I watch your show?"
This is simply suffering."
“………”。
Huang Lei smiled and said,"Zixin, your two good friends are here today. Bring some of your wine over and let them see it, lest they don't believe you."
" Don't take that Zixin. Open mine and drink it," Sun Li said.
" It's fine. Since it's a gift, you should keep it. Today, I'll let you try another kind of wine," Chen Zi said.
" The other kind of wine? Brother, what kind of wine is it? Is it the wine you mentioned in the morning? Isn't it not time yet?" Brother Hu asked.
" It's not for you. It's for Auntie Sun and the others. Wait a moment." As he spoke, Chen Zixin ran home to get the wine.
" Zixin actually knows how to brew wine. He's only in his twenties, but he's already so good," Xu Zheng said in surprise.
" You can't judge Zixin by his age. He learned how to brew wine from his master when he was young," Huang Lei said with a smile.
" Yes, indeed. He's very capable at such a young age. Have you considered letting him debut? With his abilities, he'll definitely have no problem in the future," Huang Bo said.
" I've thought about it. This morning, when we were making dumplings, we were still talking about it. It's a pity that Zi Xinzhi isn't here," Huang Lei sighed.
" This younger brother of mine, I wanted him to enter the entertainment industry back then, but he wanted to be a soldier. He said that he would regret being a soldier for two years, and if he didn't, he would regret it for the rest of his life, so he went to join the army," Brother Hu said.
" Oh, a good man's ambition is everywhere. It's a good thing to protect the country," Xu Zheng said.
" Last time I watched the show, I heard you guys say that Zixin joined the army when he was 15 or 16 years old. How did he get into the army?" Huang Bo asked.
" He was specially recruited. I was the one who sent him onto the train," Brother Hu said.
As the people in the mushroom house were talking, Chen Zixin walked over with two jars of wine, one of which was Zhuyeqing, and a jar of Kumquat wine in a glass bottle.
Huang Lei immediately took it and said," Come, Zhengzi, Little Bo, this is a 20-year-old wine. It's not available in the market at all. Come, try it." As he spoke, he poured two glasses of wine for Xu Zheng and Huang Bo.
" 20-year-old wine. I want to try it." Huang Bo immediately took a sip of the wine.
" Mmm, this wine is too delicious. It's fragrant and sweet. It's a good wine," Huang Bo praised.
Xu Zheng also took a sip and his eyes lit up. Good wine. This wine is too good. Moreover, after drinking it, my stomach feels warm."
" Come, come, come. Teacher Huang, hurry up and pour the wine. I can't wait," He Jiong said greedily.
Huang Lei then poured some wine for them. When she saw the wine in the glass bottle, she asked," Zixin, what wine is this?
" This is Kumquat wine. It has the effect of strengthening the spleen and nourishing the stomach," Chen Zixin said.
"Is that so? Then I want to try it. Is Zixin's wine high in alcohol content?" Jianing asked.
" It's not high. It's only about ten degrees," Chen Zixin replied.
" Come, Sister Li, and have some hot soup for Little Guzifeng," Jianing said.
Reba was a little worried as he asked Chen Zixin, Can we drink, Zixin?"
" Sure, but don't drink too much. Drink some chicken soup first. It's good for your stomachs to warm up," Chen Zi said with a smile.
" Okay, I'll listen to you," Reba said with a sweet smile.
" Come, Sister Xiaogu and Sister, I'll get you a bowl of chicken soup first." As he spoke, he opened the lid of the pot and the fragrance immediately assailed his nostrils.
" Mmm, this chicken soup smells so good. It's so fragrant that I'm drooling," Huang Bo said as he drank the wine and smelled the fragrance.
Brother, can I have some?" Toto said.
" Sure, but you can't eat carrots, spicy food, or this potato stewed chicken for the next two days. Do you want to drink it?" Chen Zi said with a smile.
" Then I won't drink. I'll eat more pheasant stewed potatoes," Toto said, waving his hand.
Everyone laughed. Huang Lei said,"Hey, Reba, you guys, listen to what the scholar just said. After eating ginseng, you can't eat anything that you shouldn't eat for a day or two."
Reba and the others nodded. Huang Bo smiled and said, Zixin, it's pretty good that you're keeping a tight rein on the girls."
" Then you guys don't have any objections to Zixin," Xu Zheng said deliberately.
" No objections, he's doing this for our own good," Reba and the others said. I can't wait to let him manage it every day."
" Come, let's eat. Let's first welcome Huang Bo and Xu Zheng to the mushroom house. Let's toast," Huang Lei said as she raised her glass.
Other than Chen Zixin and Toto, everyone else raised their glasses to welcome him.
"Zixin, why aren't you drinking? I want to have a drink with you."
" I've never drunk alcohol since I was young. I don't know how to drink," Chen Zixin said.
" That Bo, Zixin doesn't drink. His master has a rule for him. He said that it'll affect his martial arts," Huang Lei explained.
" I see. Then I can drink more," Huang Bo said with a smile.
The few of them laughed when they heard that. While they were eating, the phone rang. Peng Peng stood up to answer the phone.
" Hello, is this Mushroom Town? I'm a guest who'll be arriving tomorrow morning," the voice on the other end of the line changed.
" What Mushroom Town? This is Mushroom Hut. Do you want to order?"
" Yes, I want to order. Can you get Teacher Huang to come over? I have a dish that I've been sleeping for a long time. I want him to cook it."
" Alright, I'll get Teacher Huang to pick it up. Wait a moment." Peng Peng put down the phone and ran out of the room.
" Teacher Huang, the guest wants you to answer the phone. He said that he has a dish that he has been sleeping for a long time. He wants you to cook it," Peng Peng said.
" A dish that has been sleeping for a long time, and you still want me to cook it? Who is this person?!"
" I don't know. The voice on the other end changed."
" Okay, I'll go and see who's ordering." Huang Lei got up to answer the phone.
" Hello, this is Mushroom Hut. May I know who you are?" Huang Lei asked.
" Is this Teacher Huang?
I'm Huang Lei. What would you like to order?"
" It's like this. I have a dish that I've been sleeping for a long time. Because I don't have time for work and I need to nourish myself recently, I thought of this dish, so you have to make it for me."
" If you have something to say, say it. Don't hesitate. I still want to eat," Huang Lei said anxiously.
" I want to eat Buddha and jump over the wall."
" Buddha jumps over the wall. I think you look like Buddha jumps over the wall." As he spoke, he hung up the phone and walked out of the room to the pavilion.
" Teacher Huang, what dish did the guest order? You look unhappy," He Jiong asked.
" If he wanted to eat 'Buddha jumps over the wall', I would have killed him on the spot," Huang Lei said angrily.
" What's this?'Buddha jumps over the wall' is the most expensive dish we've ordered in the past few days," Peng Peng said.
" Could it be Chen He? He's the only one who knows how to order 'Buddha jumps over the wall'," He Jiong guessed.
At this moment, the phone rang again. He Jiong hurriedly went over to pick it up and said," Hello, this is Mushroom Hut. May I know what you need?"
" If it wasn't you guys, what's wrong? You hung up before you could finish your sentence. Is this how you treat your guests?"
The phone line was cut off just now. It's just been fixed. What would you like to order?"
I want to eat Buddha jumps over the wall and spicy crayfish."
" I know who that is. It's Chen He, right? You're the only one who knows how to order 'Buddha jumps over the wall'. There's no way you can order' Buddha jumps over the wall'," He Jiong roared.
" I don't care. I'll be there tomorrow morning anyway. I'm hanging up, Teacher He." After that, the phone rang.
He Jiong was in a mess. This Chen He did not play by the rules.
The live broadcast room laughed when they heard that.
" Poor Teacher He. He was actually played."
" Only he knows how to order 'Buddha jumps over the wall'.
He's been eating it for a few seasons."
“………”。
He Jiong shook his head and walked out of the room to the pavilion to sit down and eat. Huang Lei asked, It must be Chen He!
" Yes, it's him. Not only does he want to eat 'Buddha jumps over the wall' but he also wants to eat crayfish," He Jiong said with a nod.
" Heh, this kid only knows how to order these two dishes. If he wants to eat them, he can go pick corn and crayfish tomorrow," Huang Lei said with a smile.
" Yes, let him do it himself. Buddha jumps over the wall? I think he looks like Buddha jumps over the wall," He Jiong said after eating a large piece of chicken.
They nodded and began to eat.
After a while, the few of them sat on the chairs with their faces covered in oil.
" Today's meal was really comfortable," Xu Zheng said.
" Yes, the wine is delicious, and the dishes are delicious. Especially that pheasant stewed with potatoes and the pancake. It's simply a masterpiece," Huang Bo said with a smile.
" Mmm, it's indeed delicious. I ate an extra bowl of rice today," Peng Peng said with a smile.
" Brother, when do you not eat more? You've already eaten three big bowls today," Zifeng complained.
"Tsk, then am I as good at eating as my brother? "He ate five bowls. Look at the table. Other than a pot of soup, he didn't eat anything. Is there any leftovers?" Peng Peng retorted.
" Mm, not bad. With Zixin here, we don't have to worry about food being left," Xu Zheng said with a smile.
" Besides, not only can Zixin eat, but he also has a good figure," Huang Bo added.
" Zixin is still young and has a big appetite. But Mr. He, you're already so old. Why do you still have such a good appetite?" Huang Lei complained.
When He Jiong heard this, he spat out a mouthful of tea, causing everyone to laugh.
Xu Zheng touched his bald head and smiled. Huang Lei saw, Don't touch your head. If you touch your scalp again, it'll be gone."
The few of them laughed. Xu Zheng said helplessly,"My hair used to be very good. I used to be a hairstyle model."
" What model?"
Hairstyle model!
" So this is karma," Huang Lei said with a smile.
The few of them smiled, and Xu Zheng shrugged helplessly.
" Alright, let's clear the table. It's already seven o'clock," Huang Lei said.
" Ah, it's only seven o'clock. Are we eating so early?" Peng Peng asked.
" That's true. I used to cook alone. Now that Zixin is helping me, it's definitely early," Huang Lei said with a smile.
" Zixin, it's really good to be here. We can eat delicious food every day," He Jiong sighed.
" Come, everyone, clean up. I'll make a pot of tea. Zhengzi, Bo, you two try it." Huang Lei went to make tea.
At this moment, Reba took a few oranges and walked in front of Chen Zixin." Zixin, look what this is."
" Juzi, where did you get them?" Chen Zixin's eyes lit up.
I bought it at the market. Come and eat!" As she spoke, she pretended to pass the hot cup to Chen Zixin.
Chen Zixin was about to reach out to take it when Reba quickly retracted his hand. Chen Zixin asked in puzzlement," What's wrong? I'm not allowed to eat."
" It's not that I'm not allowed to eat. There are conditions," Reba said.
" What condition? Aren't you guys harboring some bad idea?" Chen Zixin asked curiously.
" What a bad idea. We're doing this for everyone's good. If you want to eat oranges, you have to perform for us," Reba said.
" Yes, you have to perform. Otherwise, we won't let you eat," they said.
"Alright, I'll admit it for the sake of oranges. Tell me! " What kind of performance do you want me to perform? Do you want me to perform the guzheng?" Chen Zixin asked.
" Well, I don't want to listen to you play the guzheng today. Sister Xiaogu and I have discussed that we want to listen to you sing today," she said sweetly.
" Yes, sing. We've never heard you sing before," the few of them said.
" Brother, I've never heard you sing before," Brother Hu said.
" Alright, I'll sing a song for you guys today. But don't blame me if it's not good," Chen Zixin said.
The few of them quickly nodded in agreement. Huang Lei brewed a pot of tea and brought it out. What's the matter? Why are you guys so happy?"
" Well, we'll get Zixin to sing today," everyone said.
" Oh, singing? Then I'll be waiting. Since you're all done, come over and have some tea," Huang Lei said.
" Zixin, come over and have some tea to moisten your throat. What song should we sing later? Your uncle, Xiao Bo, Teacher He, and your brother have all sung before. We can guide them," Huang Lei said.
Chen Zixin took a sip of tea and said," We'll talk about it later. Does Peng Peng have a guitar here?"
" Guitar? You know how to play the guitar?" they asked curiously.
" Western instruments have similarities with Chinese instruments, so it should work! Chen Zixin said.
" That's true. The two have something in common. Peng Peng, go get the guitar," Huang Lei said.
Peng Peng took out a guitar and handed it to Chen Zixin. Chen Zixin took it, brushed the notes, and started tuning.
Reba didn't understand music and asked,"Teacher Huang, what is Zixin doing?"
" This is tuning. Everyone has their own way of doing it. Looks like this kid has two," Huang Lei said.
" Yeah, he's not bad. He's quite skilled. I didn't expect Zixin to know how to play Chinese instruments and the guitar," Huang Bo said.
The few of them nodded. Chen Zixin took the guitar and walked to the side to clear his throat. I'll sing a cappella then. I can't do anything if it's not good. After all, I've only sung a few times.
Chen Zixin began to play the guitar. A burst of light music came out, and Chen Zixin opened his mouth to sing.
"If you complain too much about this world
When you fall, you dare not continue to move forward
Why do people have to be so fragile and degenerate?
Please turn on the TV
How many people are working hard and bravely for their lives?
Should we be content?
Cherish everything, even if you don't have it
Remember you said home is the only castle
As the river of fragrant rice continues to run
Smile, I know the dreams of childhood
Don't cry, let the firefly take you away
Country songs are always relied on
Let's go home and return to the original beauty!
Rap, don't give up so easily…"
Remember you said home is the only castle
As the river of fragrant rice continues to run
Smile, I know the dreams of childhood
Don't cry, let the firefly take you away
Country songs are always relied on
Let's go home and return to the original beauty.
The live broadcast room exploded when they heard this song.
Wow, it's so nice. This song reminds me of my days in the countryside."
Me too. I miss my grandparents."
I even caught fireflies when I was young."
I miss it so much!"
“………”。
When the song ended, Chen Zixin put down his guitar and said to everyone,"" That singing was alright, right? It should be okay!"
" What do you mean by 'not bad'? It's simply too good. This song reminds me of my childhood in the countryside. I worked every day at sunrise and rested at sunset. I miss it so much," Huang Bo said emotionally.
" Erm, I grew up in the countryside too. Although my life was tough, I will never forget the joy of my childhood," Zhao Xiaogu said with reddened eyes.
" Yeah, Zixin, I didn't expect you to sing so well. I like you so much," Reba said in admiration.
" Me too. This song is so good," Little Gu said immediately.
" Me too," Zifeng said shyly.
" Brother, what's the name of this song? Why can't I find it on the Internet? Did you write it yourself?" Brother Hu asked excitedly.
Yes, I wrote it when I was busy farming. I saw the ground full of rice ears and fireflies, so I wrote this song."
" What's your name?" Huang Lei asked.
It's called Daoxiang."
" It's a good name. It suits life," Huang Lei said.
" I think this song is very suitable for the life we're looking forward to. I think it's great to use it as the theme song," He Ji suggested.
Huang Lei and the others 'eyes lit up." Mmm, I think it's not bad. I'll go ask the director."
" You don't have to look for it. I'm here. I agree to that. Zixin, how about this song be our theme song? We'll pay you two million for the copyright," the director said.
" Alright, I don't mind," Chen Zixin said.
" Mission completed. Reward issued."
A warm current stimulated Chen Zixin's body, making him feel comfortable. Chen Zixin smiled and said," Can I eat that hot orange now?"
Reba smiled and handed the orange to him. Chen Zixin took the orange and immediately ate it, looking happy.
Huang Lei and the others were relieved to see Chen Zixin like this. Reba Xiaogu and the others looked at Chen Zixin with adoration.
Huang Bo sat down and took a sip of tea." This tea is not bad. It's fragrant and has a sweet taste in my mouth."
" Mm, this tea is not bad. No wonder Teacher Huang couldn't bear to part with it. With this good tea, I can't bear to part with it either," Xu Zheng praised.
" Now I know. I usually can't bear to part with it. I saw that you guys did well today, so I'll let you have a taste. You guys can drink slowly. This is all I have," Huang Lei said with heartache.
" Zixin, do you still have this tea? Can you spare some for me? I don't want more, so I'll just have eight to ten catties," Xu Zheng said shamelessly.
He Jiong spat out a mouthful of tea and looked at Xu Zheng." Eight to ten catties. If you really dare to say that I only got one catty, don't even think about it."
" Zhengzi, you sure are thick-skinned. This tea isn't easy to make. It's not sold on the market," Huang Lei said with a smile.
" Then where did this new tea come from?" Huang Bo asked.
" Zixin learned this tea from his master," Sun Li said.
" Holy sh * t! Zixin, you know how to make tea? How come you know everything?" Xu Zheng said in surprise.
" Do you still have this tea? Just give me a few taels," Huang Bo said.
" There's none left now. If you really want to drink it, I'll get Uncle Huang to send you a pound," Chen Zixin said with a smile.
The two of them smiled and nodded. The others smiled.
" Ding, ding, ding." Peng Peng picked up the phone and pressed the speaker. A voice with a northeastern accent came from the other end."Hello, is this the mushroom house? I'm a guest who'll be arriving tomorrow morning. Help me find Teacher Huang."
" Teacher Huang, phone call," Peng Peng shouted.
The few of them entered the house. Huang Lei continued," Hello, I'm Huang Lei. What's the matter?"
Teacher Huang, I'm a guest who's arriving tomorrow. I want to order."
Huang Lei heard the voice and smiled. Golden Bell Shield.
" Iron Shirt," the other party replied instantly.
" Haha, Sha Yi has been exposed."
" Haha, is my voice really that easy to distinguish?
" That's right. We all heard it," He Jiong said with a smile.
The live broadcast room burst into laughter.
" Teacher Sha Yi's voice is too easy to recognize."
Sha Yi is too funny."
With him around, there won't be any less joy."
“……”。
" Alright, Shayi, you can order now!"
" Then I'll have a big pork knuckle, a pot of meat, and a water bamboo shoot. That's all."
You guys ate so much."
" What do you mean by a few people? Just me?"
" Alright then. What time will you arrive tomorrow? Come early and do more work," Huang Lei teased.
" I'm a guest, not a worker. I'll be there tomorrow morning. Bye." Sha Yi hung up.
Huang Lei smiled evilly." It's not that easy not to work. Let him pick the corn tomorrow, plant the seeds, and transplant the seedlings."
The few of them smiled. He Jiong smiled and said," I hope Teacher Sha can live tomorrow."
The live broadcast room was filled with laughter.
Teacher Sha is so pitiful. She was schemed against."
I was tricked before I even came."
I mourn for him."
The phone rang again. Huang Lei was speechless." Why are you calling again? Is this a big loss of blood?" He pressed the speaker button and spoke in a northeastern accent. Is there anyone? I'm a guest who's arriving tomorrow."
"Who is this person? "Your accent is so strange," He Jiong asked.
It sounds like a woman."
" Mmm, is it the Northeast Conference tomorrow?"
" There's someone there. Hello, how may I help you?" He Jiong asked.
I'm a customer for tomorrow. I want to order."
" Alright then. What do you want to eat?"
I want to eat steak, and it's specially made by Teacher Huang."
Steak, right? We can arrange it. Alright, what else do you need?"
" That's all. I'll be there tomorrow morning." Then, she hung up.
" You're still eating steak? It's quite high-end. How much work do you have to do here?" Huang Lei asked.
" It's fine. They can pick it themselves tomorrow," He Jiong said with a smile.
" Alright, I don't care if he says it tomorrow. Are we playing cards or something else?" Huang Lei said.
" Then, I'll ask Zixin to teach me how to play Chinese chess. I want to see how good he is," Huang Bo said firmly.
Chen Zixin smiled." Teacher Huang Bo, I'm too good at chess. Forget it."
" What I want is for you to not know how to play," Huang Bo said.
" Brother, can we not be so low-key? If you don't know how to play, then what am I? A lousy chess player," Brother Hu rolled his eyes and said.
"Alright then! "Since you want to play, I'll play. I'll go wash my face. If that director has nothing else to do, turn off the live broadcast. I'm afraid Teacher Huang Bo will lose too badly," Chen Zixin said with a smile.
" Don't turn it off. I'm not afraid of looking ugly. Hurry up and wash your face. I'll set up the chess pieces," Huang Bo said.
When Chen Zixin heard Huang Bo say this, he shrugged helplessly and walked out of the courtyard. Huang Bo quickly said," Come, come, come. The five of us should quickly set up our chess pieces. I don't believe that the five of us can't beat him."
Huang Lei and the others smiled helplessly and began to set up the chess pieces. After Chen Zixin washed his face, he walked into the room and saw five sets of chess pieces. He asked curiously," What's going on? What does that mean? Is it a 1v5 or all five of them?"
" Zixin, didn't we make a bet? I'll play chess with you, but I didn't say how many people will play with you," Huang Bo said with a smirk.
" Then you lost the bet. You still owe me fifty push-ups. Hurry up and do them," Chen Zixin said.
" Yes, you still owe me 50 push-ups," they said.
" Wait a minute. I didn't say I wouldn't do it. If you can beat the five of us, we'll do 50 push-ups each," Huang Bo said.
" Alright, it's settled then," Chen Zixin said happily.
" No, Bo, why did you decide on your own? We didn't agree," Huang Lei said.
"Yeah!"
" Zixin has already agreed. Come on, let's play chess," Huang Bo changed the topic.
Chen Zixin smiled." How do you guys want to play? Do you want to take turns or fight together?"
" Let's take turns," Xu Zheng said.
" No, let's attack together. That way, we'll have an advantage," Huang Bo said.
Brother Hu sighed in his heart and said,"Sigh, why did I agree? Isn't this asking for trouble?"
Chen Zixin smiled." Sure, come on, but you can't whisper to each other."
" Alright, Teacher He, bring the tea in. We'll play with Zixin," Huang Lei said.
He Jiong went out and brought tea in. He poured a cup for everyone and sat on the cushion with Reba and the others to watch the show.
" Let's start now," Huang Bo said as he took a sip of tea.
Chen Zixin nodded." Sure, but I want to leave first. That's not too much, right?"
" Sure, sure. You can start with me," Xu Zheng said.
Chen Zixin walked in front of Xu Zheng and began to play chess. An infantryman walked first, and Xu Zheng smiled and also took a step forward.
Just like that, Chen Zixin began to play chess in front of the five of them, causing the five of them to tremble in fear and break out in cold sweat.
He Jiong, Reba, and the others were shocked.
The live broadcast room was also impressed by this scene.
" Amazing, playing with five people at the same time."
This brain is too good."
I can only say that Zixin is too strong."
" Brother Zixin is amazing."
I love him to death."
“……”。
After about ten minutes, the five of them failed. Chen Zixin smiled." Are you still playing?
" No, I'm not interested anymore," Xu Zheng shook his head and said.
" I feel like puking whenever I see Chinese chess," Huang Bo said.
" Brother, your brain is too powerful," Peng Peng said in surprise.
" Brother, why don't you save some face?" Brother Hu sighed.
" Zixin, your Xiangqi skills are comparable to Go," Huang Lei said, convinced.
Reba and the others also looked at Chen Zixin in disbelief. Chen Zixin smiled. Since you've lost, hurry up and do 50 push-ups each. Don't go back on your word; I'll be watching."
" Yes, yes, yes. Hurry up and do 50 push-ups," He Jiong and the others jeered.
" Hurry up. I want to record this with my phone," He Jiong said with a smile.
I want it too."
I'll come too."
This is good material."
“………”。
" What should we do?" Xu Zheng asked.
" What else can I do? Just do it. I can't go back on my word." Huang Lei walked to the side and started to do it.
The remaining four people began to sit down, and the scene was very beautiful.
The live broadcast room burst into laughter.
This looks good."
Brother Hu's stamina is not bad."
Of course, I train every day too."
“………”。
Brother Hu was the first to finish and was praised by everyone. Brother Hu smiled smugly.
The remaining few people were in all sorts of positions.
" Aren't you guys doing push-ups? Why are you in all kinds of positions? You're making me laugh. Look at how your stomachs are sticking to the ground. Are you sleeping on your stomach?" Chen Zixin said with a smile.
Brother Hu and the others smiled. Huang Lei and the others looked at them with resentment and said," You can't use your standards to demand of us. Besides, we're already not bad."
" That's right. Look, I've already made twenty," Huang Bo said.
" Yeah, I'm embarrassed to say that I made 20 in five minutes, but I made 60 in one minute. I'm embarrassed to say that I made 20 in five minutes," Chen Zixin complained.
" You're bragging. I don't believe you," Huang Bo said.
" I don't believe it either. Come at me if you can," Xu Zheng said.
" I'm not doing it. Look at how well you guys are doing. There's even fun."
" Tsk, you can't do it, right?" Huang Bo said in disdain.
" Don't provoke me. I won't fall for it. Hurry up and finish it. I'll keep an eye on it," Chen Zixin retorted.
" You only know how to talk big," Huang Lei said.
Brother, I don't believe it either."
Why should I ask you to believe me? Hurry up and do it."
" I don't think he can do it." Everyone chimed in.
Chen Zixin smiled and didn't say anything. Brother Hu smiled and said,"" Brother, let's show them. We can't lose our dignity. Let's eat an orange to replenish our strength." As she spoke, she peeled an orange for Chen Zixin.
Chen Zixin said as he ate an orange,"Brother, why don't you cook it? It looks so good to me."
" Hey, kid, I need to have the ability to do it. Are you going to do it or not? If you don't, there won't be any oranges left," Brother Hu threatened.
" Yes, yes, yes. You're my brother after all. Just this once. Don't do it again," Chen Zi said as he stuffed the orange into his mouth.
Brother Hu smiled. Chen Zixin walked to the side and lay down." Come, you can start the timer now. You guys can start now."
" I'll time it." He Jiong took out his phone and prepared to time it.
" Begin." Chen Zixin started to do it when he heard that. His speed began to increase from slow to fast, and he did it quite accurately.
Everyone was dumbfounded as they counted.
When the minute was up, He Jiong immediately said," Time's up." When Chen Zixin heard that, he stopped and stood up."How much?"
" That eighty," Peng Peng stuttered.
" Oh, it's only 80. It's dropping. Looks like I have to increase my exercise," Chen Zixin said calmly.
Everyone fainted when they heard that. How could there be such a blow?
" I'm convinced. Your stamina is too good."
I'm convinced too."
" Since you're convinced, hurry up and complete the mission."
The four of them began to sit in shock. Reba and the others thought with red eyes," Wow, she's so strong. I wonder which girl is so lucky. She'll definitely be happy in the future."
Mr. He smiled when he saw this and pulled his clothes. Only then did the few of them react and smile embarrassedly.
After a while, the few of them were done. They panted heavily and took a sip of tea before slowly calming down.
Chen Zixin smiled." Teacher He, come and lie down. I'll massage your waist."
When He Jiong heard that, he quickly lay down. Chen Zixin sat down and massaged He Jiong with both hands, making He Jiong feel comfortable. Everyone watched.
" D * mn, I feel so hot on my waist. It's so comfortable," He Jienheng said.
Chen Zixin started to massage harder. He Jiong started to cry out in pain." It hurts, it hurts, it hurts! Stop!"
Chen Zixin said,"We can't stop. At the critical moment, come and hold his hands and feet down."
When Huang Lei and the others heard this, they quickly held He Jiong down. Huang Lei said," Teacher He, hang in there. It's almost done."
" Yes, hang in there. You can't give up halfway," Brother Hu said.
" Endure it, I'll endure it," He Jiong said while breaking out in cold sweat.
Huang Bo and the others looked at He Jiong with heartache. At the same time, they admired Zixin even more.
After a while, Chen Zixin relaxed his strength and let He Jiong relax. He Jiong lay comfortably on the pillow.
After a while, Chen Zixin stopped and said,"" Alright, you can get up now. Let's see how it goes."
" Ah, that's it? I haven't enjoyed it enough," He Jiong said.
" Who was shouting just now? Get up and move around," Huang Lei said.
He Jiong immediately stood up when he heard that. He twisted his body and said in surprise, Sigh, it's not bad. I feel so relaxed and my waist doesn't hurt as much."
" Oh, is that so? That's good," Huang Leixun asked.
" Not so fast. Teacher He, these two are old ailments. Today, I'm just helping him relax his bones and muscles. In a few days, I'll give him a few acupuncture sessions and he'll be fine," Chen Zixin said as he sipped his tea.
" Then Zixin still has to thank you. It's so good to have you around," He Jiong said gratefully.
Zixin, can you help me and Zhengzi take a look? Is there anything wrong with them?" Huang Bo said anxiously.
" Yes, yes, yes. Help us take a look," Xu Zheng said.
" Alright, both of you stretch out your hands. I'll take your pulse," Chen Zi said to the two of them.
The two of them stretched out their hands, and Chen Zixin took their pulse. After a while, Chen Zixin retracted his hand and said, The two of you aren't bad, except for a small stomach problem and a little high blood pressure. I'll give you two herbal recipes tomorrow. Take them back and learn how to make them, but don't let others see you and learn how to make them. After all, everyone's physique is different. Nothing can happen to them.
The two of them nodded seriously and said,"We promise. Zixin is really grateful to you."
Chen Zixin smiled." Are you two still smoking?"
The two of them smiled awkwardly.
Quit smoking. It's not good for your body."
"This isn't easy to quit."
" Then get over it. When you want to smoke, find something to replace it, like fruits or something. Running every day is better than smoking."
The two of them nodded. Huang Lei also said, Indeed, smoking isn't good for your body. It's better to exercise more than anything else."
The few of them smiled. At this moment, the phone rang again. He Jiong said helplessly," D * mn, how many people are you planning to send tomorrow? Director, are you kidding us?"
The director smiled and did not say anything. He walked to the side and busied himself with today's work.
Huang Lei pressed the speaker button and said in a cold voice, Hello, is this the mushroom house?"
" This voice is so familiar. I think I've heard it somewhere before," Huang Lei thought.
" Wow, what a nice voice. It must be a beauty," Peng Peng said excitedly.
" Hello, this is Mushroom Hut. What can I do for you?"
That must be Teacher He. I want to order."
Alright, what do you want to order?"
" I want to eat sour and spicy lotus root strips. I'll have these two with the dragon and phoenix."
" Alright, what else do you need?"
" I'll make those two dishes. That's it, bye bye." After saying that, the other end of the phone immediately hung up.
He Jiong was confused. Looking at Chen Zixin, Reba and the others felt bad." What do you mean by 'want to do something new?' Who do you think you are? You have to get past us."
Brother Hu and Jianing smiled at Chen Zixin without saying anything. Peng Peng asked, Teacher Huang, do you know these two dishes?"
I know. These two are Chu dishes. It's easy to bring sour and spicy lotus roots, but this dragon and phoenix combination is quite interesting."
" What do you mean?" Xu Zheng asked curiously.
" This Chu cuisine has a thousand years of history. It symbolizes a dragon and a phoenix. This is only served at wedding banquets. There are also dishes in Hunan cuisine, but the cooking methods and ingredients are different. This girl is obviously going for Zixin. What does this mean?" Huang Lei explained.
He Jiong and the others immediately understood. Reba and the others looked a little upset and disappointed." A dragon and a phoenix pairing is clearly courtship."
The live broadcast room guessed.
"Who is this? This is a wedding dish."
It's clearly courtship."
It seems like she knows Zixin. Otherwise, why would she order Zixin to cook?"
" It seems like the famous grass is taken."
“………”。
Huang Lei smiled and asked,"Zixin, did you hear the voice just now? He asked you to cook. Do you know him?"
Chen Zixin shook his head." I couldn't tell. She still wanted to eat my cooking. She wanted something beautiful, but she refused. She even wanted a dragon and phoenix. She must be ugly, so she wanted to eat this dish so that no one would think she was ugly."
Brother Hu and Jianing laughed when they heard this." I hope this child can live tomorrow."
" Brother, I think her voice is quite nice. She must be a beauty," Peng Peng said.
" Peng Peng, you don't know that there are voice changers. You haven't even seen them before. How do you know that they're good-looking? What if you die when you see them?" Chen Zi retorted.
In the hotel room, a pure beauty was Liu Yifei, the guest for tomorrow. When she saw Chen Zixin making up stories about her, she was so angry that she gritted her teeth and snorted. Zixin, just you wait and see how I'll deal with you." However, she turned to look at Chen Zixin gently." Zixin, I've liked you for a long time. I changed my nationality because of you. I fell in love with you the first time you saved me. I won't let you go this time." She kissed the photo and shyly crawled into bed.
In the mushroom house, everyone looked at Chen Zixin with a dumbfounded expression. This kid actually said such things about him. Wasn't he afraid of offending him?
" Zixin, you can't say that. What if she's a beauty?" Huang Lei said.
Chen Zixin shook his head and said," Forget it. I'm not cooking anyway. If she wants to eat it, she can make it herself. I'm not cooking."
" But they specifically asked you to do it," Reba said anxiously.
"That's easy. I'll just write down the names of two dishes and put them on the plate. "I'm not doing it anyway," Chen Zixin said as he shook his head.
Everyone laughed. Huang Lei said," That's a good idea. I'll do the same tomorrow. I'll just write down the name of the dish and bring it out. It saves a lot of trouble."
Everyone burst into laughter. Chen Zi smiled and said,"" Alright, 8:30. I'm going back to practice and sleep. I'll be leaving first."
" Brother, I'll sleep at your place. I have something to talk to you about," Brother Hu said.
" Zixin, the two of you go ahead. There's enough room in the mushroom house," He Jiong said.
" Sister Jianing, are you going?" Zixin asked.
" I'm not going. I won't disturb the two of you," Jianing said.
" Alright, take a shower first. I'll wait for you," Chen Zixin said to Brother Hu.
Brother Hu nodded and went to take a shower. Chen Zixin said to He Jiong," Teacher He, it's good for you to use that lavender."
" Mmm, I got it. I was snored by Teacher Huang yesterday and forgot about it," He Jiong said.
" Tsk, you forgot yourself. Don't blame it on me. I slept well," Huang Lei retorted.
" You guys didn't use it. We used it yesterday and slept very comfortably. We're in good spirits today," Sun Li said.
" Yes, there were no mosquitoes for a night. It's much better than the mosquito-repellent incense, and it smells even better," Reba said.
"Is that so? I'll try it tonight. I should be able to sleep well tonight."
Brother Hu came out of the shower and changed into a set of clean clothes. He walked over and said to Chen Zixin," Let's go. Which bed do I sleep on today?"
Aren't the two of you sleeping together?" He Jiong asked.
" How old are you already? We still sleep together. Back then, I slept with him, but now I can't," Brother Hu said.
" Alright, let's go. I'll let you sleep on that rosewood bed. It's good for your health," Chen Zixin said.
" What red sandalwood bed? Zixin, you're too rich. How much is this? No, I'm going over today too. Wait for me, I'm going to take a shower too." Huang Lei then quickly went to the bathroom to take a shower.
" Zixin, how many beds do you have? Can we sleep on them?" Huang Bo asked.
Chen Zixin thought for a moment." Other than my bed, there are a total of ten beds upstairs. Do you guys want to sleep there?"
" Yes, yes. Is it okay?" Reba asked.
" Sure, but you can't tell anyone else. Since you want to go, you guys should hurry up and take a shower. I have a blanket, but I don't have a pillow. You guys bring your own," Chen Zixin said to everyone.
Everyone went to take a shower like the wind, leaving only Brother Hu and Chen Zixin in a mess.
At this moment, Huang Lei was urged by a few people to quickly take a shower from the bathroom. She put on her clothes and walked to the living room. When she saw the two of them, she asked," What's wrong? Where are those women?
" She's showering. She said she'll be sleeping at Zixin's place later," Brother Hu said.
Is that bed enough?"
" This guy has ten small sandalwood beds. Apart from his own, it's enough to sleep on," Brother Hu said speechlessly.
" No, Uncle Zixin thought you were rich enough. I didn't expect you to be even more powerful than a tycoon," Huang Lei said in surprise.
Chen Zixin smiled and waited for them to come out. Soon, everyone came out and hugged their pillows as they said to Zixin, Let's go, we can do it now."
Chen Zixin smiled and led everyone home. He opened the door and said to everyone," The men sleep on the first floor and the women sleep on the second floor."
" Zixin, where are you sleeping?" He Jiong asked.
"I'll sleep on the second floor. My bedroom is together with the study. Alright, you guys can arrange it yourself! Brother, if you have anything to say, let's talk in the study room." Then, he went up to the second floor.
Brother Hu's expression was a little serious as he said,"Teacher Huang, let's go upstairs and talk to Zixin."
Huang Lei nodded at Brother Hu's serious expression and followed him to the second floor.
Everyone was baffled by these two people. Sun Li said, Alright, let's not just stand here. Let's choose our rooms first and then chat in the courtyard. Zixin's courtyard is pretty nice."
The few of them nodded. Brother Hu and Huang Lei went to the study on the second floor and pushed open the door. Chen Zixin had already made a pot of tea and was waiting for them.
" Uncle, I'm here. Have a seat. What do you want to talk to me about?" Chen Zixin poured two cups of tea for them to sit down.
Brother Hu and Huang Lei sat down. Brother Hu looked around, and Chen Zixin knew what he meant. Don't worry, I have soundproofing here. They won't be able to hear me."
Brother Hu took a sip of tea and said,"Brother, your uncle and I have something to discuss with you today. Be serious. I'm not joking with you today."
Chen Zixin smiled." Brother, don't be so serious. Come and smile."
" Be serious. Don't be so cheeky. Sit down," Huang Lei said seriously.
Chen Zixin looked at their serious expressions and guessed in his heart. However, he would not say it out loud. He had received professional training and knew how to deal with it. Chen Zixin sat down and said," Tell me, what's the matter?"
" Alright, I'll tell you. Brother Reba and Little Gu are talking about you, right?" Brother Hu said seriously.
Huang Lei also said,"You're Asura and Chen Zixin, right?"
Chen Zixin said expressionlessly,"It wasn't me. How could I be the person they were talking about?"
" I think it's you. Zixin, how long are you going to keep this a secret?" Brother Hu said.
" Brother, you're wrong. It really wasn't me. Even though I know these skills, it was Master who taught me them. It's completely different from what you said. Besides, this is the first time I've seen them. I didn't know about them before." Chen Zixin said.
" Alright, let's not talk about that for now. Have you ever liked them?" Huang Lei said.
" I never liked them. I just treated them as friends. I treated them as patients and never had any thoughts."
Then do you know that they look at you differently?"
" They're them, and I'm me. I can't control others, I can only control myself. Besides, I only treat them as friends and don't think about anything else."
Why are you so stubborn?"
What are you going to do if you continue like this?"
" Don't worry, I'll consider it, but not now. I'm not the same type of person as them. I just want to live my life on a piece of land and have no other intentions."
Brother Hu and Huang Lei sighed and drank several cups of tea. They patted Chen Zixin's shoulder and walked downstairs.
Chen Zixin looked at their backs and muttered in his heart,""I'm sorry!"
Sun Li saw the two of them coming down and stood up. What did the two of you talk to Zixin about?"
" Oh, nothing much. I just chatted with him about daily life and asked him how to cook a few dishes," Huang Lei said.
Sun Li nodded." Right, why isn't Zixin coming downstairs?"
" He's meditating up there. This is his daily homework. Don't disturb him," Brother Hu said.
Jianing said,"It's getting late. Let's all go and rest. Don't say that Zixin's place is not bad."
Huang Lei smiled." Go in and rest. We still have work to do tomorrow."
The few of them nodded and entered the room to rest. Chen Zixin sat quietly in the study for an hour before getting up to take a shower. After taking a shower, he locked the door and lay on the bed in the study to sleep.
At five o'clock in the morning, Chen Zixin got up and put on his clothes. He carried his backpack and opened the courtyard door, continuing his 20-kilometer run.
At six o'clock, Huang Lei also got up and called a few men to run. As they ran on the road, they said with sleepy eyes, Teacher Huang, it's not even dawn yet and you want us to run?"
" Yeah, I haven't woken up yet," Peng Peng said.
" Alright, stop complaining. Running is good for your health. Didn't you notice that Zixin is already up?" Huang Lei said.
" You're up. Over there." He Jiong looked around.
" When we got up, the courtyard door was open, which means that Zixin was already up. If you don't believe me, look ahead. Isn't that Zixin?" Huang Lei pointed ahead.
He Jiong and the others looked up and saw Chen Zixin running back. They greeted him, Zixin, good morning. You're up so early."
Chen Zixin stopped and said," Good morning, everyone. Not bad, you're all up for a run today."
"Yes, that's right! Listening to you and running is good for the body."
" Zixin, are you done running?" Brother Hu asked.
" Yeah, I'm done running 20 kilometers. I'm going back to hit the wooden dummy."
" Brother, don't go back. Your sister and the others haven't woken up yet. Don't disturb them. Do you want to run with me?" Brother Hu said.
" Alright, how many of you are prepared to run?"
" We just ran. Five kilometers will do," Huang Lei said.
Chen Zixin nodded and prepared to run. Peng Peng looked at Chen Zixin's backpack and asked curiously," Brother, can I try your backpack?"
" You want to try? Are you kidding me?" Chen Zixin said.
The others looked at Peng Peng dumbfoundedly. Peng Peng said, I'm just testing its weight. I'm not running with it on my back."
" Alright then. You can try. Don't force yourself." Chen Zixin put down his backpack.
Peng Peng went up and was about to pick it up, but he didn't do so even though his face was flushed red.
Huang Lei saw it." Peng Peng, what's going on? Why can't you even lift your backpack? You ate so much for nothing. Get up. Let me try." She didn't lift her backpack as she spoke.
Huang Bo and the others laughed and said,"Teacher Huang, you didn't mention it either."
" D * mn, this backpack is too heavy. I can't do it." Huang Lei said.
" Men can't say no," Huang Bo said.
" Try it. I'll see if you can lift it."
" Let me try." Huang Bo was in the same situation.
I'll come too."
I'll come too."
I'll come too."
" Zixin, your backpack is too heavy. Didn't you say 50 kilograms? I think it's more than that."
" Yes, it's not just that. Didn't I say yesterday that my stamina had decreased, so I gave myself extra training? I added another 20 kilograms. Coupled with the bracers and leggings I'm wearing, it adds up to a total of 200 kilograms," Chen Zixin said.
" 200 pounds? Oh my god," Huang Bo said in surprise.
It's not my headache."
My scalp is numb."
Am I still dreaming?"
Chen Zixin put his backpack on his back and said,"Alright, let's hurry up and run!" As he spoke, he took the lead and started running.
Everyone followed behind. Huang Lei and the others ran five kilometers while panting heavily. Chen Zixin had already reached home first.
Huang Lei and the others also slowly came back. It just so happened that Reba and the others had already woken up. When they saw Huang Lei and the others looking at Chen Zixin with a strange gaze, they asked curiously, Why are you looking at Zixin like that?"
You guys don't know this guy. We ran into him today and invited him to run with us. Do you know how much he ran?"
"How much?"
" This guy ran 25 kilometers.
25 kilometers. You didn't lie to us."
" Not only that, but he also carried 200 pounds of weight to run," Brother Hu said with a bitter smile.
" Oh my god, am I dreaming? Reba said.
Am I sleepwalking?"
No, why do I feel that it's unbelievable?"
" It's indeed 200 pounds. We've tried it out. This kid's physique is too abnormal. I'm convinced," Huang Bo said.
" I'm not going to run with them anymore. It's too depressing," Peng Peng said.
" Me too. How can I live like this?" Xu Zheng said.
" Zixin, aren't you tired of carrying so many things? Reba asked with concern.
" I'm not tired. I'm used to it. I don't feel anything when I carry it. I'm going to take a shower. You guys should hurry up and wash up too!" As he spoke, Chen Zixin went to the second floor.
Huang Lei and the others were in a mess in the wind. It was too much of a blow. They didn't even feel it.
"Let's go!" said Sun Li. Let's clean up the room and go back to the mushroom house to wash up."
The few of them nodded and began to work. After a while, the few of them carried their pillows back to the mushroom house to wash up. Chen Zixin came down after taking a shower and saw that the few of them had already left. He went to the herbal field to water the herbs, then took the medicinal powder from the pharmacy and walked to the mushroom house.
Coincidentally, the few of them were washing up. When Huang Lei saw Chen Zixin carrying the medicine, she asked, Zixin, what's this?"
" Oh, this is the medicinal powder. I'm going to make some herbal corn porridge. Everyone can eat it. Uncle Huang, why don't you make some egg pancakes to go with the porridge?" Chen Zixin said.
" Alright, I'll make the omelet." Huang Lei went to prepare it.
Chen Zixin took two pieces of corn and quickly peeled them into corn seeds to wash them. He then soaked the rice in the water and boiled the water in the pot. He poured the ingredients and medicinal powder into the pot and started to boil them over the fire.
Huang Lei was making an omelet by herself. Huang Bo came to the courtyard and saw Huang Lei." Teacher Huang, we're making omelet pancakes. Are we only eating omelet pancakes?"
" Zixin even made a pot of porridge. He's cooking it now," Huang Lei said.
" This child is not bad. Do you have any pickles? I'll go get some as a side dish," Huang Bo said.
" There are pickled sour beans and salted duck eggs. You can get some as side dishes," Huang Lei said.
Huang Bo nodded and went to prepare. The rest of them came to the courtyard and saw Huang Lei cooking." Mmm, I had egg pancakes this morning. Not bad."
" Teacher Huang, did you add chili? I like chili," Xu Zheng said.
I made a few with chili and the rest without chili."
" Isn't it too dry for us to just eat pancakes?" Brother Hu said.
Zixin is already making medicinal porridge in the kitchen for all of us."
" That's great. I can eat Zixin's cooking again."
" Mmm, not bad. A bowl of porridge and an egg pancake in the morning is a perfect match."
" Zixin is making us herbal dishes again. What should we do? We can't leave him," Reba and the others thought.
" Come, Zhengzi, help me light the fire. I'll cook the duck eggs," Huang Bo said.
Xu Zheng nodded and sat down to start the fire. As he started the fire, he asked, By the way, did you get Zixin to help you write the words yesterday? I did."
" I've found one too. It's a poem," Huang Bo said.
" No, you're really not being polite. Teacher He, find the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone. Later, ask Zixin to help them write," Huang Lei said.
Teacher He went to prepare. Huang Lei asked, Are you guys going to pick fruits later?"
" I'm not going. I don't want to sweat all over again. I'll ask Zixin for a few watermelons to bring back," Xu Zheng said.
" Yes, just bring some watermelons," Huang Bo said.
Huang Lei nodded." You guys, take your bowls and chopsticks. My pancakes will be ready soon. Are your two side dishes ready?"
" Alright, alright. I'll just cut the duck eggs and wait for Zixin's porridge to be ready," Huang Bo said.
