Huang Lei and the others ate for a while before He Jiong brought them to work, leaving Chen Zixin and Huang Lei to cook in the mushroom house.
" Uncle Huang, what do you think we should cook now? Let's split it up," Chen Zixin said.
" How about this? You make herbal dishes and roast lamb legs, and I'll make pork knuckles, steam-cooked chicken, and sweet and sour ribs," Huang Lei said.
" Sure, I'll stir-fry a few more vegetables. By the way, do you have chicken wings at Uncle's house?" Chen Zixin asked.
"Yes, didn't you get it from shooting darts yesterday? "What are you doing?" Huang Lei asked.
" I'll make some preserved plum chicken wings for the girls to eat. It'll be appetizing," Chen Zixin said.
" Plum wings, Cantonese cuisine," Huang Lei said.
" It's not really Cantonese cuisine. Some places have home-cooked dishes," Chen Zixin said.
"Alright then! "But there's no preserved plum," Huang Lei said.
" I'll go ask the director how much corn we need." Chen Zixin then went to discuss with the director. After a while, Chen Zixin returned. How much?"
" Fortunately, adding the cola will require 200 corn. I'll pick it after I marinate the lamb leg. Half an hour should be enough," Chen Zixin said with a nod.
" Alright, you go ahead. I have to take care of this big pork leg," Huang Lei said.
Chen Zixin nodded and went to deal with the lamb leg. He quickly changed the lamb leg into a knife and smeared it with seasoning. He placed it aside to cool it down. He also prepared the medicinal cuisine. After picking the corn, he could make it.
Chen Zixin told Huang Lei that he picked three watermelons and gave one to the director and the others. Then, he carried the bamboo basket and walked towards the corn field.
In the corn field, He Jiong was picking corn with a few people. Sha Yi said, It's tiring enough for me to pick corn. It's not that there isn't much, but why am I getting more and more?"
" Yeah, I think so too. Sha Yi, why did you order so many dishes?" Tao Hong said.
" I miscalculated. I didn't expect the new rules of the Mushroom House to be able to be played like this," Sha Yi said.
" I want to drink Coke," Reba said.
" I want to drink it too," Little Gu pouted.
" Stop talking. The more you talk, the thirstier you get. Besides, with Zixin's personality, would he let us drink Coke?" Liu Yifei said while wiping her sweat.
" Hmph, Zixin is too despicable," Yang Mi said with a pout.
" It's just that Brother is too bad," the younger sister said angrily.
" Yes, he's too despicable," Reba and the others said. He Jiong and the others smiled and didn't say anything.
" What are you talking about? How am I hateful?" Chen Zixin said as he stood on the ridge.
" No, why are you here?" Liu Yifei asked.
" If I didn't come, I wouldn't have been criticized by some people," Chen Zixin said speechlessly.
" Someone? Who? Who said that?" Liu Yifei asked.
The few of them shook their heads. Chen Zixin looked at Liu Yifei and smiled."Alright, come over! I brought you watermelons. Come and eat."
" What watermelon? I like it too much." Reba ran over.
" That's great! We're eating watermelon!" Zhao Xiaogu walked over happily.
“………”。
Chen Zixin cut the watermelon and distributed it to everyone. He started eating as well. As he ate, He Jiong asked, Zixin, what are you doing here?"
I'll send you some watermelons and pick some corn to exchange for something."
" Picking corn to exchange for something? What are you exchanging for?" Sha Yi asked.
" I'll get some preserved plums and coke to cook," Chen Zixin said.
" Cooking? What dish?" Reba asked.
" I'll make some preserved plum chicken wings for you girls to try," Chen Zixin said.
" That's great. We can eat delicious food again," Reba said happily.
" Yes, we can eat Zixin's cooking again today," Liu Yifei said.
" Yes, yes. I have to eat more today," Little Gu said.
" It seems like Zixin has new tricks every day," Yang Mi said.
" Brother, that's great. There's delicious food," the younger sister said happily.
“………”。
" Alright, I won't chat with you guys anymore. I have to hurry back to cook after I'm done picking." After saying that, Chen Zixin carried the bamboo basket and walked into the corn field to start working. Chen Zixin picked the corn very quickly, giving everyone a big shock.
" D * mn, this work efficiency is amazing," said Big Forest.
" This speed is amazing," Sha Yi said.
" Zixin is really a good worker," Tao Hong said.
He Jiong and the others smiled at Reba and the others without saying anything because they knew Chen Zixin's ability. He Jiong said," Alright, we've eaten the watermelon. Let's get to work!"
The few of them nodded and continued to pick corn. Soon, Chen Zixin had picked enough corn that he needed. After bidding farewell to the few of them, he went to exchange for ingredients and returned to the mushroom house to start cooking.
At eight o'clock in the mushroom house, all the dishes were served. Chen Zixin brought two jars of wine from home. When Huang Lei saw it, she quickly called for them to eat. As Huang Lei called for them to eat, everyone began to eat.
Mmm, these chicken wings are delicious. They're sweet and sour, so appetizing."
Mmm, this lamb leg is not bad. It's delicious."
" Zixin's herbal chicken soup is superb."
Steam Pot Chicken is delicious."
" This pork knuckle is too awesome."
“………”。
Huang Lei and the others put down their bowls and chopsticks after they were full. Only Chen Zixin was still eating. Soon, under the watchful eyes of Tao Hong and Da Linzi, he finished all the food, wiped his mouth, and drank his tea.
" Zixin, you really can eat. You have such a big appetite with such a small stomach," Tao Hong said.
" Brother Zixin, you're a big eater," Dalinzi said.
Chen Zixin smiled and said,"It's alright."
Huang Lei and the others smiled but didn't say anything. Tao Hong and Da Linzi shook their heads speechlessly.
He Jiong suddenly said,"There's no point in just chatting. Why don't we play a game?"
" Sure, what game should we play?"
" Why don't we do an idiom solitaire? What do you think?" Dalinzi suggested.
" Sure. Zixin, you should take it easy and not mention the unpopular ones. Otherwise, you won't be able to continue playing," Huang Lei said.
Chen Zixin smiled and nodded. He said awkwardly," Then I'll start first, followed by Sha Yi, and then Zixin. Let's go around in circles like this."
" Sure, we have no objections," Huang Lei and the others said.
He Jiong said,"The earth is shaking and the mountains are shaking." Sha Yi said,"Waving flags and shouting."
" Zixin, it's your turn," He Jiong said.
It's my turn. I'm crying out for injustice."
It's connected. Next is Teacher Huang Lei."
It's not that you don't want to be unpopular, kid. I think there are only a handful of them."
" Counting? This isn't easy to pick up."
" There are only a few idioms."
" Count them," Sha Yi said.
No, this isn't an idiom."
" It's all Zixin's fault for coming up with an unpopular idiom," Liu Yifei said. This isn't my fault. Uncle also came up with an unpopular idiom."
" I didn't learn it from you. Why don't we play?" Huang Lei said firmly.
" Sure, I've always wanted to play," Chen Zixin said domineeringly.
" Alright, I'll be the referee," He Jiong said.
" Sure, we'll be notaries," Reba and the others said.
" Alright, Zixin, let's start with that idiom," Huang Lei said.
" Count the short and discuss the long.
" Different lengths.
"Take the lead."
" Get the upper hand."
" Human-faced Peach Blossom."
"A beautiful flower and a full moon."
" Round Hole Square Wood."
" Trees stand out in the forest."
" Wind Under the Woods."
" Calm and peaceful.
Chen Zixin picked up, and Huang Lei said,"" Is there an idiom that starts with the word 'wall'?
" Don't ask me. I'm just a referee," He Jiong said.
" Don't worry about us. We're just being fair."
" Uncle, think about it. I'm not in a hurry," Chen Zixin said calmly.
Huang Lei was thinking while He Jiong and the others watched. Chen Zixin smiled and didn't say anything.
" Teacher Huang, forget it if you can't think of anything," He Jiong and the others said.
" Don't worry, I'll think of it soon. With Snake Shadow in the Wall, hehe, how new will it look?"
Chen Zixin smiled and said,"The shadow cannot be separated from the lamp."
" Brilliant. How does it look? It's new and unpopular enough, right? Let's see how you're going to take it," Huang Lei teased.
" This word isn't easy to follow, Zixin," He Jiong said.
Is there an idiom for this word?" Reba asked.
" I'm not sure, but Zixin's pretty good at learning so many idioms from Teacher Huang. I've never heard of many of them before," Tao Hong said.
" Did Zixin think of anything?" Liu Yifei asked.
" I got it, Huang Huang Ye Ye," Chen Zixin said to Huang Lei with a smile.
When Huang Lei heard this idiom, she said,"I admit defeat."
" Yay, Little Wolf won," Reba said happily.
" Zixin is amazing. He defeated Teacher Huang," Liu Yifei said.
" Zixin is so awesome," Little Gu said.
" Zixin's literary foundation is too good," Yang Mi said admiringly.
“………”。
" Kid, you don't even know how to give me a hand," Huang Lei said speechlessly.
"Hehe! "I didn't expect Uncle to come up with that unpopular idiom," Chen Zixin said with a chuckle.
" Alright, Uncle, don't be unhappy. How about I play a song for you today?" Chen Zixin said again.
" That's great. Hurry up and go. I'll go make tea. Peng Peng will wash the bowls. Teacher He and Sha Yi will carry the guzheng out. You girls, hurry up and pack up. Zixin is playing the guzheng today because of me. Hurry up." Huang Lei went to make tea after she finished speaking. The others quickly cleaned up, leaving Chen Zixin alone in the courtyard.
" Come, come, come. Zixin, can you place the zither here?" He Jiong asked.
" Sure, this place is pretty good," Chen Zixin said.
" Haha, I can finally hear Zixin play the guzheng. Last time, I listened to the erhu. I'll record him later," Sha Yi said excitedly.
" Last time, Xu Zheng told me that Zixin was very good at playing the guzheng. I want to hear it this time and record it," Tao Hong said.
" Yes, yes, yes. We'll record it," He Jiong said.
" Zixin's tea is ready. How are you guys doing?" Huang Lei asked.
" Alright, we can listen now," a group of people said.
" Do you want the director to record it?" Huang Lei asked.
" We definitely have to record it. Someone come over and record it," the director shouted.
After everything was arranged, Chen Zixin sat in front of the guzheng and said,"" This is a song I wrote in the past. I haven't played it in a long time. If I don't play it well, I hope you won't be disappointed."
" Okay, okay, okay. We won't be disappointed," Huang Lei and the others said with a smile.
" Teacher He, do me a favor and announce your arrival," Chen Zixin said.
" Alright, alright, I'll do it." He Jiong walked to Chen Zixin's side. Chen Zixin whispered into his ear, and Chen Zixin sat down and waited.
He Jiong smiled and said," Next, please enjoy Chen Zixin's Dreamlike Blade. Let's give him a round of applause." He Jiong then walked back to sit down, and everyone applauded.
Chen Zixin took a sip of tea and began to play the zither with both hands. Beautiful notes spread out, and the sound was melodious and pleasant. It also had a hint of Jianghu aura. Everyone was intoxicated by it. When the last note was played, Chen Zi stopped and smiled at the people in front of him.
After a while, everyone recovered from their shock and stood up to applaud. Chen Zixin smiled back.
" Wow, this song makes my blood boil. It's like I'm walking in the martial arts world," He Jiong said.
Yeah, I feel like I've transmigrated into the world of martial arts."
" Everyone has the dream of a chivalrous man and a chivalrous woman. I can hear the bloodbath of the pugilistic world from this song, but I can also hear the tenderness of a chivalrous man," Huang Lei praised.
" Yes, it's indeed a good song. It can't be done without many years of experience," Sha Yi said.
“………”
The live broadcast room was filled with good reviews and heated discussions. The director looked at the rising figures and felt very happy!
The live broadcast room had already been closed. Everyone was sitting in the room and chatting happily. At this moment, He Jiong's phone rang. He Jiong took it out and smiled when he saw it. The others were puzzled. Huang Lei asked, What are you laughing at? It's so funny."
" Brother Hu is complaining about Zixin. He's asking why you didn't play for him before," He Jiong said with a smile.
"Tch, you're already so old and you're still jealous. Tell me! " He's definitely not talking about this. Is he asking me for something?" Chen Zixin said clearly.
" Zixin's guess is correct. Your brother wants the filming rights for 'Smiling Proud in the Pugilistic World' and if that song can be used as a accompaniment," He Jiong said.
" Just this? I thought it was a big deal," Chen Zixin said.
" Isn't this a small matter? You have to know that many people are fighting to film your book," He Jiong said.
" Yeah, Zixin, many people want to act in your book," Huang Lei said.
“………”。
" I'll give him a call." Chen Zixin took out his phone and called Brother Hu. Soon, the call went through.
Hello, you're finally willing to call me."
"Tsk, don't you have something to ask me? Otherwise, I wouldn't have called."
" You brat, have you forgotten about me now that you have a wife?!
"I wouldn't dare! Even if you lend me ten guts, I wouldn't dare!"
It's good that you know. By the way, let me ask you when you're planning to film 'Proud Smiling'."
I don't plan on filming yet."
I don't plan on filming. I think that song just now is very suitable for Smiling Proud in Jianghu!"
" That song isn't suitable for 'Smiling Proud in the Pugilistic World'. It's suitable for my next novel."
" What next novel? Brother, are you preparing to write a novel about Wuxia again?"
Yes, it's Wuxia. That song is very suitable."
Alright, I believe you. You really don't plan on filming Smiling Proud in the World."
You definitely have to film it, but not now. You're filming Ghost Blows Out the Light right now, so you can't be in two places at once. You can film it after you're done."
"Alright then! I believe you, so I'll hang up first!"
Chen Zixin hung up. Huang Lei and the others looked at him with wide eyes. Chen Zixin asked curiously," Why are you looking at me with that expression?"
" Brother, did you just say that you have a new work to write? What work?" Dalinzi asked.
" Yes, yes, yes. We're all curious about what work it is. What martial arts novel?" the others asked.
" This is a secret for now, but I'll give each of you a handwritten copy when it's done," Chen Zixin said.
" Yay, that's great!" Everyone cheered.
" It's not Zixin. You just said you wanted to film 'Smiling Proud in the Pugilistic World'," Huang Lei asked.
" Yes, I'll let my brother finish filming Ghost Blows Out the Light and let him rest for a while," Chen Zixin said.
" Didn't you give the filming rights to Brother Hu?" He Jiong asked.
" I did give it to him. Little Milk Di Yifei, Yang Mi Little Gu, Sister, help me out," Chen Zixin said.
" What favor?" the girls said.
" If my brother is filming 'Smiling Proud in the Pugilistic World', you guys can help me play a few roles," Chen Zixin said.
" Really?
" It's true. I'm not lying to you," Chen Zixin said.
Alright, we agree."
Don't agree so easily. I have conditions."
" I knew you would do this," Liu Yifei said with a pout.
" Hehe, I can't help it. I can't change it."
" Zixin, what are your conditions?" Yang Mi pouted.
" I'm sure you've all seen that 'Smiling Proud in the World' before!
" I've seen it. Didn't you give us a few handwritten copies?"
" My condition is that you write an essay about the characters you like," Chen Zixin said.
" Ah, let us write this. We don't have such good writing skills like you."
" There's no need for too much rhetoric. I just want you to write about your feelings for the characters in the novel. This will be good for you. It will make it easier for you to integrate into the characters. If you can't write well, you can look for my brother and Yifei. They've written them before," Chen Zixin said.
" Sister Yifei, you wrote it too," Reba asked.
" I did. When I was filming the Legend of the Sword and Fairy, I was forced to write it. He said that this would help me get into character quickly," Liu Yifei complained.
" I think Zixin's right. It's a great way for you to understand the feelings of the characters better," Huang Lei said.
" I think it's not bad. It can allow you to express your true feelings about this character," He Jiong said.
" That's fine," Sha Yi said.
" I think it's not bad. When the country filmed the old version of 'Dream of the Red Chamber', they trained for several years in advance. Every day, everyone had to write about their feelings," Tao Hong said.
" Alright, let's write," Reba and the others said.
" Alright, I won't ask for time. I'll write it down for Uncle Huang and Teacher He," Chen Zixin said.
Reba and the others nodded. He Jiong asked curiously," No, why did Zixin give it to us? You should know the characters the best. After all, you wrote it."
" Teacher He, although I understand, that's just my own opinion. Let me say a wise saying. A thousand people watching Journey to the West will have a thousand different opinions. Now you know!" Chen Zixin said.
" Oh, Zixin is amazing," He Jiong said.
" Zixin wants us to get to know this person from a different perspective," Sha Yi said.
" It's indeed amazing. Everyone has a different opinion," Tao Hong said.
" That's true. Look at his nephew. With him as his uncle's teacher, how can he not be amazing?" Huang Lei said proudly.
"Teacher Huang, can we not be so thick-skinned?"
Huang Lei said disapprovingly,"How is this thick-skinned? This is the truth."
" It's the truth," everyone said while holding back their laughter.
The few of them chatted for a while more. When it was ten o'clock, Chen Zixin went back first because he had to practice. Huang Lei and the others chatted for a while more before they were about to leave. At this moment, the phone rang and the few of them stopped. He Jiong got up and answered,"Hello, this is the mushroom house."
" Mushroom house, right?!
" It's Mushroom Hut. What's the matter?"
We need to order something."
You, how many of you do you have?"
That's not important."
Alright, you guys order."
" I'll order a roast duck and a bowl of beef soup. Bye bye." Then, she hung up.
" Hey, don't hang up," He Jiong shouted and hung up.
" What's wrong? What did Mr. He say?" Huang Lei asked.
" I don't even know what to say," He Ji said speechlessly.
" What do you mean you don't know what to say? What did the guest order?" Sha Yi asked.
" I ordered a roast duck, a bowl of beef, and a tonic soup," He Jiong said lightly.
" What's this? It's a tonic soup. Why is this guy so weak?" Sha Yi said.
" It's a tonic soup," Huang Lei said.
The few of them talked about this guest one after another. Liu Yifei raised her hand and said, Teacher Huang, why don't we call Zixin over and ask him how to deal with the situation?"
" Forget it. It's too late. Don't disturb him. He's tired today," Huang Lei said.
Let him rest well. We'll talk about it tomorrow!" Sha Yi said.
Alright, everyone go and rest!" He Jiong said. After Liu Yifei and the others bid farewell to Huang Lei, they returned to Chen Zixin's place.
At this moment, Chen Zixin had already finished his cultivation and showered. He was writing something in the study. Liu Yifei and the others saw that the light in the study was on and walked over. They saw Chen Zixin writing something in front of the desk. Liu Yifei said in a low voice," Let's not disturb Zixin anymore. He needs some peace while he's writing. Let's go take a shower and rest!"
Reba and the others nodded and left. As there were many bathhouses, they quickly finished showering and went into the house to rest. Chen Zixin wrote for more than an hour, stretched, and turned off the lights to rest.
The night passed uneventfully. Chen Zixin woke up at five in the morning to continue his exercise plan. After he had finished exercising and washing up, he carried the medicinal herbs and walked towards the mushroom house.
Chen Zixin came to the mushroom house. Huang Lei had brought a few people out for a run and had not returned yet. She first boiled the medicine and then made breakfast. Just as she served the breakfast, everyone came back from their exercise.
When Huang Lei saw it, she said,"Hey, Zixin, you've already made breakfast."
" What did you do?" He Jiong asked.
" I made a pot of porridge. Didn't Dalinzi want to eat pancakes yesterday, so I made some with salted duck eggs or something," Chen Zixin said with a smile.
" Brother, you're so nice. You still remember me eating pancakes." Dalinzi smiled.
" Alright, everyone, go take a shower and come down for breakfast," Huang Lei said.
Everyone nodded and went to wash up. After a while, they sat in the pavilion and began to eat. Chen Zixin said, Come, you guys drink the medicine first before eating."
" Ah, you still want to drink Yao Zixin? When have we ever stopped drinking?" Liu Yifei asked.
" You don't have to drink anymore after this week," Chen Zixin said.
" Really? Can we eat snacks now?" Zhao Xiaogu asked happily when he heard that he didn't need to drink medicine.
" You can eat it, but you can't eat snacks like you used to. It's better to eat normally," Chen Zixin said seriously.
" Yes, yes, yes. We'll listen to you," Reba and the others nodded.
" Then, are we leaving after we're cured?" Yang Mi said dejectedly.
" Yeah, he's leaving after he recovers," Zhao Xiaogu said dejectedly.
" I can't bear to," Liu Yifei said.
" Alright, if you guys want to come, then come. I'll leave the room for you guys. I'll make you whatever you want to eat. Don't be so disappointed," Chen Zixin said with a smile when he saw Liu Yifei and the other two's expressions.
" Really? Then we'll take it seriously," Liu Yifei and the others asked happily.
" Really, but just bring some food when you come over," Chen Zixin said.
" Yes, yes, yes. Don't worry." The girls nodded happily.
Huang Lei smiled and said," Let's eat first. We'll talk after we finish eating." Everyone nodded and started eating. They had a good breakfast, chatting and laughing. Liu Yifei, Yang Mi, and Xiao Gu were very happy after receiving Chen Zixin's guarantee. After a while, they finished eating and cleaned up. They sat in the pavilion, drinking tea and chatting. Since Sha Yi and the others had nothing to do, they stayed for another day. Sha Yi's jokes made everyone laugh.
Huang Lei smiled and asked,"Oh right, Zixin, did you know that a guest ordered a bowl of beef and a bowl of nourishing soup yesterday?"
" I know. Bozi Beef is our local dish. This is a must-have dish for our guests. You should have eaten it before!" Chen Zixin said.
" Hey, we're too busy eating to know what kind of dish it is. We're not like you who has a golden tongue," Huang Lei teased.
" Hehe, keep a low profile. I'll feel embarrassed if I continue talking," Chen Zixin said as he scratched his head, but who knew that he would be booed by the crowd.
" By the way, what's that tonic soup?" He Jiong asked.
" Oh, this is a herbal dish. It's effective in treating diabetes, sallow complexion, weak body, and breathlessness. Who would eat it unless the guest today is a sickly person?" Chen Zixin said.
After hearing everyone's praise, Chen Zixin smiled and said,"" Uncle, do you want to know who the guest who ordered the all-nourishing soup is?"
"Who is it?" Huang Lei and the others asked.
" This dish is from the same cuisine as 'Buddha jumps over the wall', but it's a tonic soup.' Buddha jumps over the wall 'is a famous dish of the state banquet. Think about it, who would be so insensible?" Chen Zixin snorted.
" It's Chen He," Huang Lei and the others replied.
" Yes, it's this prodigal," Chen Zixin said.
" D * mn, why did the director get rid of this prodigal again?" Huang Lei said angrily.
" He even ate us until we went bankrupt, yet he still dares to come," He Ji said angrily.
" Brother Chen He is so lazy and doesn't work," Peng Peng complained.
" He just eats and doesn't work," the younger sister muttered.
Everyone in the live broadcast room burst out laughing when they heard this.
" No, this guy has to be tortured today. If he doesn't plant it on a piece of land, he won't be able to eat," Huang Lei said.
" Yes, we agree." Everyone cheered at Huang Lei's suggestion.
Everyone changed the topic of Chen He and chatted happily. At this moment, a voice came from the door. Zixin, there's a delivery for you."
" Express delivery for me. Are you kidding me? I don't even have a computer. How am I supposed to shop? Is there a mistake?" Chen Zixin asked.
" I'm not mistaken. You're the only one called Chen Zixin in your entire village. It can't be wrong," the director shouted.
" Zixin, go take a look. Maybe someone sent it," Huang Lei said.
Chen Zixin nodded and went out to get the parcel. Soon, Chen Zixin came in with the parcel. Huang Lei saw him and asked, Is Zixin your express delivery?"
" It's mine. My sect sent it," Chen Zixin said.
" Oh, I see. What did the sect send you?" Huang Lei asked.
" I'm not sure. Let me open it." Chen Zixin opened the package and saw a square wooden box in front of him.
" Good stuff, good stuff. Looks like they really made it for me," Chen Zixin said with a smile as he looked at the wooden box.
" It's not Zixin. Isn't this just an ordinary wooden box? How can it be good?" He Jiong asked.
" Yeah, this isn't your rosewood," Huang Lei said.
" Little Wolf, could it be that there's some treasure here?" Reba asked.
" Smart. You're indeed a treasure," Chen Zixin praised. Reba smiled happily.
" Quick, Zixin, open it. Let me see what kind of treasure it is," Huang Lei's eyes lit up when she heard that there was a treasure.
Chen Zixin smiled and opened the wooden box. A tea set and a letter were displayed in front of everyone.
" Isn't this just a tea set? What's so precious about it?" Sha Yi said.
" Yeah, Zixin, what kind of tea set is this? You treasure it so much," He Jiong said.
" Of course it's a treasure. The clay used in this tea set is amazing," Chen Zixin said.
" Use clay? What clay? Is it purple clay?" Huang Lei asked.
Uncle, have you heard of the Azure Clay?"
" What do you mean this is Sky Blue Clay? Is it true?" Huang Lei asked in surprise.
" This isn't ordinary Azure Clay. It's top-grade Azure Clay. Now, do you think it's a treasure?" Chen Zixin said.
" It's a treasure. It's definitely a treasure. Oh my god, I can't believe I've seen such a tea set made of mud. It's too shocking," Huang Lei said in surprise.
" It's not Teacher Huang. Calm down. Is this tea that powerful?" He Jiong asked.
" Amazing. How can you compare it with amazing? This is a top-grade item. I can't even describe it. I'm too shocked," Huang Lei said happily.
"It's amazing. I heard from my dad about the origin of the Sky Blue Clay. It's the best of the best. It's also very strict. It's said that it needs to be baked at a high temperature of 1400 degrees. Even the slightest mistake can't be made. It's also very expensive," explained Big Forest.
" Damn, this is really a treasure. I wonder how much it costs," Sha Yi said.
" The lowest is a few hundred thousand, and the highest is a few million. However, most of them are collectibles and won't be given away easily," Huang Lei praised.
" D * mn, so expensive. Zixin, you're pretty impressive in your sect. You gave such an expensive gift just like that," Sha Yi said.
" Do you really think they gave it to you?" Chen Zixin said.
" Isn't that so?
" Tsk, I know those old fellows on the mountain too well. They're not that generous. Usually, they split a penny into two. This azure clay is mine. I gave it to them to help me make it," Chen Zixin complained.
Yours? No way!" Everyone was puzzled.
" It's mine. I obtained it in a mountain when I was traveling in the pugilistic world in my early years. I even gave some of it to them. Otherwise, they would be willing to help me make it," Chen Zixin said.
" Holy sh * t, Zixin, you're really lucky. This is something that only comes by chance," Huang Lei said.
" You're really lucky," He Jiong said.
" Really? Why am I not so lucky?" Sha Yi said, causing the others to laugh.
" Zixin, there's a letter for you," Liu Yifei said as she held the letter.
" My letter, give it to me quickly," Chen Zixin said. Liu Yifei hurriedly handed it to him. Chen Zixin quickly opened the letter and said," This is the letter Master left for me."
" What? Didn't your master pass away?" Huang Lei asked.
" Yeah, we all know about Zixin. Don't talk nonsense in broad daylight," He Jiong said.
“………”。
" It's my master's. I recognize his handwriting. He wrote it before he passed away. Now, the sect has passed it to me," Chen Zixin said speechlessly.
" It's like this. You scared me. I was dreaming in broad daylight," Huang Lei said.
" Right, Zixin, what did your master write in the letter?" Sha Yi asked.
" I can't tell you what I'm writing. This is a private conversation between the master and disciple," He Jiong said.
Sha Yi smiled awkwardly. Chen Zixin smiled and looked at the letter. When he saw the contents of the letter, Chen Zixin's expression was very interesting. Sha Yi and the others asked curiously," Why is Zixin's expression so interesting? Is the content of the letter interesting?"
Huang Lei shook her head." I'm not sure either. Who knows?"
After reading the letter, Chen Zixin could not help but blurt out,""D * mn, Master, are you kidding me? Are you addicted to tricking your disciple? "You're really my master." After saying that, Chen Zixin walked to the side and sat down silently.
Huang Lei and the others were shocked when they heard Chen Zixin's shout. They quickly went over and asked," What's wrong? Did something happen to Zixin?
" Here's the letter. Read it yourself. Don't broadcast it live. I want some time alone." Chen Zixin handed the letter over and leaned his head on the table.
Huang Lei and the others took the letter and read it for a while before laughing." Zixin, your master really tricked you into wasting four years."
" Last time, you said you couldn't break your cultivation. It's a little too late for you to break your cultivation now," He Jiong teased.
" Zixin, is your master addicted to tricking you? He wasted four years of your youth for nothing." Sha Yi held back his laughter.
" Brother, you're really pitiful," Peng Peng said with a smile.
Reba and the other girls smiled shyly when they saw the letter, but they were secretly happy that Zixin was doing well.
“………”。
" Oh my god, Master, is this how you treat your disciple? Back then, I worked hard to cook and wash your clothes for you, but you treated me like this. Master, is this how you treat your disciple?!" Chen Zixin complained.
" Alright, Zixin, don't blame your master. Your master is doing this for your own good. He's afraid that you'll make mistakes easily if you act rashly," Huang Lei said as she walked over.
" Zixin, don't feel wronged. If there's nothing, let bygones be bygones," He Jiong said with a smile.
" What do you mean it's in the past? Look at our Zixin. He's handsome and talented. Who knows how many young ladies pursued him in those four years? If he had known earlier, I think I would have become a father," Sha Yi teased.
" That's right, Zixin must have been aggrieved these past four years! He Jiong said with a smile.
" That's quite frustrating," Huang Lei teased.
" I say, enough, you guys. Instead of comforting me, you're even rubbing salt into my wounds. Do you think I can't lift a knife anymore?" Chen Zixin's expression changed as he said this. Huang Lei and the others saw Chen Zixin's expression change and immediately retreated, causing the others to laugh out loud.
Chen Zixin stared at it for a while before he retracted his gaze and said," Give me the letter!"
Huang Lei passed the letter over. Chen Zixin smiled and said," Uncle, do you want to use this tea set to make a pot of tea?"
" What? Are you serious?" Huang Lei asked in surprise.
" It's true. Are you in?" Chen Zixin asked.
" I'll do it. I'll get some tea leaves to boil water," Huang Lei said.
" Don't take the tea leaves. You can keep them. I'll go get some tea leaves," Chen Zixin said.
" What tea leaves are you taking?" Huang Lei asked.
Da Hong Pao! After Chen Zixin finished speaking, he went home. Huang Lei was stunned for a moment before she said, Did Scholar Xin say to take Da Hong Pao?"
He Jiong and Sha Yi nodded. Huang Lei then looked at the others. The others nodded. Huang Lei immediately exclaimed," Quick, Teacher He, quickly go boil some water. I'll go clean up the table. That Sha Yi is sweeping the floor. You guys quickly wash your hands. Quick, quick, quick."
"Why!" Sha Yi said.
" Let me tell you, the tea that Zixin brought isn't ordinary, and using this tea set to make tea is amazing. I'm done talking to you guys. I'll go clean up." After saying that, Huang Lei went to clean up. When the others saw Huang Lei clean up, they also tightened their movements.
Chen Zixin brought tea back from home. When he returned to the mushroom house and saw everyone sitting in the pavilion, he smiled." It's all prepared."
"Yeah! "Everything's ready. We're just waiting for you," Huang Lei said.
" Oh, Uncle Huang, are you going to make the tea or should I?" Chen Zixin asked.
" Come here. Uncle hasn't had your tea in a long time. It tastes so nostalgic," Huang Lei said happily.
" Then let me do it. You can try it today." As he spoke, Chen Zixin set up the tea set.
" Daddy, isn't making tea just putting some tea leaves and pouring some water into a cup? It's not that difficult, right?" his sister said cutely.
" Daughter, making tea is a skill. It's not as simple as you say. You'll know when you see it later," Huang Lei said with a smile.
His sister nodded. He Jiong and the others smiled and didn't say anything. Chen Zixin smiled and brought the tea leaves over. Huang Lei's eyes lit up as she said, Good tea leaves. How did Zixin get them?"
" I took it from the old chief," Chen Zixin said.
" Looks like you're quite influential," Huang Lei said.
" What face? The price of two meals," Chen Zixin complained.
" Don't be unsatisfied, kid. If I had these tea leaves, I'd be willing to cook ten meals," Huang Lei said jealously.
Chen Zixin smiled and saw that the water was already boiling. He brought it over and poured it into a teapot. He shook it a few times before pouring the water into each cup. After boiling it for a while, he poured the water away.
" Daddy, what do you mean?" his sister asked curiously.
" This is the first step in making tea," Huang Lei explained.
Chen Zixin then poured tea leaves into the teapot, added hot water, shook it, opened the tea lid, and scraped off the tea foam. Then, he poured it into a cup. Reba and the others saw the red tea soup and asked," Is that all?
" No, it just started," Huang Lei said.
Following that, Chen Zixin's series of actions dazzled everyone. He poured the third cup of tea before pouring the tea into the teacup one by one. He said, Please have some tea."
Huang Lei and the others couldn't wait to hold the teacup and slowly taste it." Good tea, sweet aftertaste, lingering fragrance on lips and teeth."
Good tea, this tea is really good."
It's indeed good tea."
Peng Peng watched them drink tea for a while, then took a sip and said, Brother, this tea is good, but it's gone after one sip."
" Peng Peng, that's called drinking tea. It's like a cow chewing on a peony. Tea needs to be tasted. Don't just drink it in one gulp," He Jiong complained.
" What kind of tea tastes bad in your mouth? Learn from us how to taste tea," Huang Lei lectured.
" I can't help it. There aren't many young people who know how to drink tea these days," Tao Hong said.
" Zixin isn't bad. He knows how to brew tea and taste it. Impressive," Sha Yi said in admiration.
" That's because he didn't see who taught him. Zixin's tea brewing skills are the result of his master and me. I taught him quite a few tea brewing skills, but this kid is better than his master," Huang Lei said smugly.
" Yo, you're bragging again," He Jiong complained.
" Can we have some face? Sha Yi said.
" Actually, I learned a lot from Uncle when it comes to brewing tea. He taught me a lot," Chen Zixin said.
"See, I was right! "Zixin said it himself," Huang Lei said proudly.
He Jiong and the others smiled and didn't say anything. Chen Zixin smiled and looked at everyone. Soon, the pot of tea was finished, and everyone was full of praise.
Chen Zixin smiled and said,"Uncle, I'll keep the tea set."
"Alright then! "Just put it away. I'm already very satisfied to be able to experience it once," Huang Lei said in satisfaction.
" Indeed, it's different to use a good tea set to make tea," He Jiong said.
" It's all money. I just counted that I drank quite a lot of money," said Sha Yi smugly.
His words made the others laugh. Chen Zixin put away the tea set and said,""Uncle, just keep the tea leaves! Don't despise it after using it once."
"Child, why are you being so polite? Can Uncle take it?" Huang Lei said that she didn't want it, but she quickly took the tea leaves in her hands. He Jiong and the others laughed when they saw it. He Jiong complained," Teacher Huang, let's not be two-faced. You said you didn't want it, but you acted faster than anyone else."
" Who doesn't want that? Don't drink it next time if you have the ability," Huang Lei threatened.
" It's my fault. Let me drink some next time," He Jiong hurriedly begged. He Jiong's appearance made the others laugh. Chen Zixin laughed and sent the tea set home. He came back not long after.
" What are we having for lunch today? It's almost 10 o'clock," Huang Lei said.
" What are you eating? The guests haven't arrived yet," He Jiong said.
" What's there to come? It's better if you don't come. You don't have to cook for a few more people," Huang Lei said.
" Teacher Huang, we can't do a live broadcast like this," He Jiong reminded her.
" Yeah, it's a live broadcast. Wait for them to come over and make some noodles. We'll leave after eating," Huang Lei said.
He Jiong smiled. Chen Zixin smiled, looked around, and asked," Where are those girls? Where did they go?"
" He went into the house to play games. It was so intense," He Jiong said.
Chen Zixin nodded and the few of them gathered together to chat again. Peng Peng walked over and said, Brother, you're on the trending searches."
" Trending search? What trending search?" Chen Zixin asked.
"Really? "Peng Peng, let me take a look," He Jiong said.
" Let me see." Huang Lei walked over and said,"" Yo, Zixin's number one on the trending searches. He's amazing."
" Not only that, the top five trending searches are all Zixin's. Zixin has dominated the rankings," Sha Yi said.
" It looks like Zixin's trending searches are just for fun," He Jiong said.
Not bad, Zixin. You're the top trending topic!" Tao Hong said.
" First or not, it's all just empty talk. Don't value those empty titles too much. I'm far inferior to those revolutionary predecessors, the heroes of the war, the nameless heroes, and the great scientists. I can't compare. They should be at the top of the trending searches," Chen Zixin said in admiration.
" Well said, Zixin." Huang Lei and the others applauded.
When the live broadcast heard these words, they could not help but have a new opinion of Chen Zixin. Those heroes and scientists were the trending topics.
After a while, someone knocked on the door of the mushroom house. We're here as guests."
" They're here, they're here." He Jiong quickly opened the door and saw Liu Shishi and Chen He standing at the door.
He Jiong smiled and said,"Shishi, Crane."
" Hello, Teacher He." The two of them smiled.
" Come, come, come in." He Ji quickly stood up to let the two of them in.
Chen Zixin smiled when he saw Exemplary Liu. Shishi, why are you here?"
"Zixin didn't expect this, did he?" Exemplary Liu said happily.
" I didn't expect this. This is too surprising. Oh right, Yifei is here too. Did you know?" Chen Zixin said.
" I know. We chat every day, unlike you who left for so many years without even calling," Exemplary Liu said with a pout.
Chen Zixin scratched his head and said,"I'm sorry. Come over and have a seat!"
Exemplary Liu smiled and walked over to sit down. After a while, Reba and the others came out and quickly got familiar with each other. He Jiong asked, You ordered Shishi's roast duck and Beef Bowl, right?"
" Yeah, I prefer roast duck. I should at least order a local dish," Exemplary Liu said sweetly.
You're right. What's with that Chen He's all-nourishing soup? How much do you want it?"
" Mr. He, I've been too tired recently. I need to replenish myself," Chen He said.
" Nourish? Aren't you afraid of overdoing it? If you don't have any illness, why would you eat medicinal food? Aren't you afraid of adverse reactions?" Chen Zixin said.
" Zixin, don't scare me. How could there be any adverse reactions?" Chen He said.
How could I scare you? For example, if you're not sick but you take medicine, what would people say about you?"
People will say that I'm abnormal."
" That's right. If you're not sick, why would you eat medicinal food? Medicine is 30% poisonous. Don't let it get you into the hospital," Chen Zixin said calmly.
" Then can I change the menu?" Chen He asked fearfully.
" Teacher He, what do you think?" Chen Zixin asked.
" I think we have to satisfy the customers 'needs. Since Chen He wants to change the menu, then we can change it. But you can't go back on your word," He Jiong said.
" I won't go back on my word. I believe in Zixin's medical skills. He won't lie to me," Chen He said seriously.
"Alright then! "We only have vegetables to eat now. What vegetables do you want to eat?" He Jiong asked.
" Ah, is the mushroom house that poor now? Chen He said.
" How dare you say that? We went bankrupt because of your 'Buddha jumps over the wall'," Huang Lei roared.
Chen He smiled awkwardly." I'm sorry. Can I add a crayfish?"
" Sure, but you have to catch them yourself," He Jiong said.
" I'll go catch them. You must be joking!"
" It's fine if you don't catch them. You can only eat vegetables. Are you up for it?" Chen Zixin said.
" Don't, don't, don't. I'll go catch him. I'll catch him, alright?" Chen He begged.
Chen Zixin nodded and said,"Thank you, Uncle Huang. Thank you, Teacher He. Your cooperation was quite successful."
" That's right. Their cooperation isn't bad, right?!" He Jiong said.
" How is it? We have a tacit understanding!" Huang Lei said.
" That's pretty good. Their chemistry is incomparable," Chen Zixin said with a laugh.
When Chen He heard this, he said awkwardly, No, you guys teamed up to lie to me. That's bullying."
" Who's lying to you? You're the one who's to blame for your slow reaction. You've already changed the menu anyway. You can't change it," Huang Lei said.
" Yeah, you forgot what you said," He Jiong said.
" Everyone's watching. Don't go back on your word," Chen Zixin said.
Chen He was instantly speechless. Huang Lei and the others finally couldn't hold back their laughter.
After playing around for a while, she added a snail for Chen He and replaced it with the tonic soup. Huang Lei said, It's time to cook. What's everyone eating?"
" Why don't we eat something casual? We'll eat something good tonight," Sha Yi said.
"Sure, but what should we eat?”He Jiong asked.
" Why don't we eat noodles with soy sauce? I haven't eaten it in a long time," Tao Hong said.
" Noodles with braised pork is good. It saves trouble and is simple," He Jiong said.
" It's simple. You do it," Huang Lei said.
" Don't, don't, don't. Teacher Huang, I'll leave the cooking to you and Zixin. I can do some rough work," He Ji comforted her.
" It's good that you know. But what kind of gravy do you want to eat?" Huang Lei asked.
" Why don't we have a chicken braised meat and a mutton braised meat? There's some mutton and chicken drumsticks in the fridge for him to use. Little Daddy and Shishi don't eat pork. What do you think?" Chen Zixin suggested.
" I think so. What do you think?" Huang Lei asked.
" Then let's make the noodles. Zixin, pick one. Do you want to make braised pork or noodles?" Huang Lei said.
" Can I not be picky? I want to go on strike," Chen Zixin said.
" What are you thinking? I don't agree to the strike. Don't say that I agree. Ask them if they agree." Huang Lei said.
" Do you agree? Chen Zixin asked.
" If you don't agree, don't think of anything good," Reba and the others said in unison.
" Zixin heard it. No one agreed," Huang Lei said.
"Why did you have to learn how to cook? It's so good to learn how to eat. Master, you've really tricked your disciple. What were you thinking back then? You actually made me learn how to cook. I cry just thinking about it! "I can't go on strike even if I want to," Chen Zixin said with snot and tears flowing down his face. Huang Lei and the others were touched.
"Alright, Zixin won't let you cook for lunch today. You should go and rest! I'll do it, okay?" Huang Lei comforted him.
" Zixin, you should go rest. You've been exhausted these past few days. I'll help Teacher Huang," Sha Yi said.
" Zixin, rest well this afternoon. We'll cook," He Jiong said, touched.
" Little Wolf, you should rest. You've been too tired these past few days. It's too tiring to wake up early and sleep late every day," Reba said with concern.
“……”。
"Really? " You really let me rest? You're not lying to me," Chen Zixin said as he raised his head.
" I'm not lying to you. Uncle will cook lunch today. You can go and rest," Huang Lei said. Chen Zixin looked at the others, and they nodded quickly.
Chen Zixin smiled awkwardly." I'm so sorry. Let me rest."
" It's fine. Go and rest! Huang Lei and the others said.
" Alright, I'll go rest then." After saying that, Chen Zixin went into the house and packed the guzheng before taking it out." You went to rest. Why are you taking the guzheng?"
" Oh, I'll go take the guzheng back for maintenance. I'll leave lunch to you guys. I'm leaving." After saying that, Chen Zixin ran back with a big laugh.
Huang Lei and the others suddenly reacted and said," D * mn, this kid has tricked us all. What do you mean by not wanting to cook? He's clearly doing his own private work. This stinky kid."
" That despicable Zixin fooled us all. I really thought he wanted to rest." Liu Yifei pouted.
" Little Wolf, I'm not done with you. You actually tricked me," Reba said angrily.
" No, bring him back to cook," Yang Mi and the other girls said.
" Forget it, don't go. Let him slack off. This child has been tired these past few days," Huang Lei said.
Let Zixin rest for a while and let him play for a while!" He Jiong said.
"Alright then! Let him rest! But don't let him off so easily tonight! Reba and the others said.
" Yes, we won't let him off tonight," Huang Lei and the others said impartially.
When Chen Zixin returned home, he gave the guzheng to him for maintenance before putting it away for the time being. He then went back to the study room to write a novel. Just as he was writing, his phone rang." Hello, what's the matter?"
Um, Youngest Uncle, could I trouble you to come to the hospital? There are a few children with food poisoning today, so could I trouble you to come over?"
"Can't you cure food poisoning? Can't I have my stomach pumped?
The child is four or five years old and can't take the pain. I've tried acupuncture before, but there wasn't much of a reaction."
" Then can't the provincial hospital do it?
It was because they couldn't cure it that they sent it to me."
Alright, I got it. I'll head over immediately."
Alright, Uncle-Master. I'll stabilize the child's condition first."
" Alright, I'll go now." After saying that, Chen Zixin hung up the phone and ran to the herb house. He carried the medicine box and ran to the mushroom house.
