Shen Tao said,"Alright, the two teams are tied at 1:1 for now. We'll enter the second round of competition. Shen Teng invites you to set the questions."
Shen Teng said," This time, we have to set a difficult one. We can't let Zixin set the questions. Some of them know Zixin too well, so they know what Zixin sets. Big Brother, you set the questions."
Cheng Long smiled and wrote down four words. He quickly ran to the stage and said, We won't let anyone see it, only you."
Zhao Youting took a look and nodded," This is indeed difficult."
" That's the effect I wanted." Cheng Long smiled and ran down to sit down. Chen Zixin and the others watched Zhao Yoting, Gao Weiguang, Zhang Binbin, Tang Yan, and Wang Yuan challenge each other on stage.
"Sigh, if they let Tangtang guess, Tangtang will definitely guess it," said Chen Zixin.
" Why? Zixin, do you know Tang Yan so well?" Shen Teng asked.
" We've known each other for more than ten years. Tangtang is very good at guessing games like this, but we have to thank them for not arranging the seats properly. We'll definitely win this round," Chen Zixin said.
Shen Teng nodded and continued watching the match. Soon, it was Wang Yuan's turn to guess. Shen Tao said,"Xiaoyuan, please tell me your correct answer."
" My answer is that monks meditate," Wang Yuan said.
Shen Teng and the others laughed excitedly. Tang Yan laughed and said,""Xiaoyuan, how is this a monk meditating? I didn't even look at the questions. This is clearly Qi deviation."
" Ah, Qi deviation? Sister Tang Yan, how did you know?" Wang Yuan asked.
"Let's not talk about this for now. You'd better accept your punishment! "We're going down," Tang Yan said and ran down. The other three also ran down and sat down. Xiaoyuan, please accept your punishment."
A piece of music sounded. Two of the eighteen bronze men came up and grabbed Wang Yuan. The others took out balloons and blew them up, causing them to explode beside Wang Yuan's ear. Wang Yuan was so frightened that he accepted his punishment and walked down.
" Alright, Shen Teng, please proceed with the second round of competition. Wang Yuan, please come up with the questions."
" Zixin, you stand first. I'll be second. Brother Cheng Long will be third. Lan Xin will be fourth. Teacher Guo Li will be in charge of guessing," Shen Teng arranged.
The few of them went on stage and stood in their positions. Wang Yuan took out a book with good questions and walked up to Chen Zixin. He opened it and asked, Brother Zixin, did you see it clearly?"
Chen Zixin smiled and nodded. Wang Yuan smiled and walked down the stage. Shen Tao said," Zixin, are you ready for the challenge?
" About that, I'll ask if I can use props," Chen Zixin asked.
" There's nothing in this rule. What props do you want?" Shen Tao asked.
" Help me get a hat, thank you," Chen Zixin said.
Shen Tao smiled as he arranged for a staff member to pass a hat to Chen Zixin. Chen Zixin took it and thanked him, indicating that they could start. The door opened and Shen Teng said,"A few words."
" Four words." After saying that, Chen Zixin took the hat and used various fancy movements to put it on, take it off, and put it on again. Then, he performed a set of drunken boxing. He fought fiercely, and the audience screamed.
Shen Teng smiled and nodded to show that he understood. Chen Zixin nodded and sat down to wait for the results. After Shen Teng, Cheng Long, and Zhang Lanxin finished their performances, Zhang Guoli walked down and said,"" Eat and drink to your heart's content.
Chen Zixin was stunned when he heard that. Wang Yuan's group burst into laughter, and the audience below the stage could not stop laughing. Shen Teng laughed and said, Teacher Guo Li, how did you guess that it was full?"
" Weren't you guys drunk and then made a 'yay' sign with your hands? This is obviously a state of being full, isn't it?"
"Of course not. The correct answer is Big Brother Cheng Long," Shen Tao said with a smile.
"Ah, so it's Big Brother! " Then why did he do this?" Zhang Guoli asked.
" Mr. Guo Li, let me explain to you. I can't do Zixin's movements well, so I can only compete. Sometimes, when you take pictures, you also compete," Shen Teng said.
What did Zixin do that you can't do?"
" It's the action of Yang wearing a fancy hat. It's a classic action in Yang's movies," Shen Teng said.
" Ah, Zixin, you even learned how to put on my fancy hat. Come, come, show me," Cheng Long said.
" Me? Don't, don't, don't. I won't embarrass myself with your original version," Chen Zixin said.
" How about this? Let's get Big Brother and Zixin to perform together. What do you think?" Zhang Guoli said.
" Alright, alright, alright!" Everyone cheered.
Chen Zixin and Cheng Long stood together, holding their hats. They looked at each other and smiled before starting to perform. Their movements were exactly the same, dazzling everyone. The audience clapped and cheered. Chen Zixin and Cheng Long finished their last move, put on their hats, and threw them off.
There was a round of applause on and off the stage. Cheng Long smiled and said,"Zixin is good! It's actually exactly the same as my movements. The strength is controlled very well, skillful hands."
" You flatter me. It's still not as good as your original version," Chen Zixin said humbly.
Cheng Long nodded in satisfaction. The two of them walked down and sat down. Shen Tao said," Alright, the punishment has already been given. Now, the two teams are tied at 1:1. We'll have to go into overtime. If we guess correctly, our team will win, and if we guess wrongly, the other team will win."
" Then big brother, you go first! Zeng Zhiwei said.
" Ah, it's our turn again," Cheng Long said.
How about this? Big Brother will be first, Lan Xin will be second, Teacher Guo Li will be third, and I will be fourth. Zitao will be in charge of guessing!" Shen Teng said.
" Ah, you want me to guess again? If I guess wrong, won't I still be punished?"
" You have confidence in yourself. We will definitely win," Shen Teng said.
Cheng Long and the others walked onto the stage and stood in their positions. Zeng Zhiwei handed the notebook to Wang Yuan and said, Only Cheng Long can do it. No one else can."
Yang Mi smiled and didn't say anything. Wang Yuan took the notebook and went on stage. After saying that, he opened the notebook and showed it to Cheng Long before going back. Chen Zixin sat down and watched the performance. Not long after, Cheng Long and the others finished their performance and left their seats. Huang Zitao walked down and said," This is simple!
" Simple. What's your answer?" Shen Tao asked.
" Carp Kick-up."
" Congratulations on your correct answers," Shen Tao said.
" You finally got it right. If you still don't get it right, I'm afraid I'll have to go to the hospital," Shen Teng said.
" Haha, that carp stance of yours is completely wrong. It's very easy to hurt your waist," Huang Zitao said.
" I'm not like you who practiced martial arts before. Give me a handsome one," Shen Teng said.
" Alright, I'll do it then." After Huang Zitao finished speaking, he lay on the ground and did a carp-up, causing the audience to cheer. Cheng Long was eager to perform as well, causing everyone to cheer.
Shen Tao said,"Alright, the Kungfu team is now leading by one point. Immortal Love team, you guys have to work hard. We'll take a break and come back to the next game segment."
Everyone smiled and sat down to rest. Some chatted while others went back to the dressing room to touch up their makeup. Only Chen Zixin sat down and chatted with the audience. Chen Zixin chatted happily with everyone without putting on airs, making the audience very happy.
As Chen Zixin was chatting, Reba, Yang Mi, and Tang Yan came over to look for him. Chen Zixin smiled and apologized before leaving. Why are the three of you looking for me? I'm having a good chat with everyone."
" Of course I'm looking for you," Yang Mi said.
What's the matter? Just say it."
Yeah, just now, Brother Teng asked us to do something. He wants you to cook on the show."
"Didn't we agree not to expose my identity when cooking? What happened?"
"Let us finish. Didn't Brother Tao and Brother Teng beg us? Just promise us that you'll only cook one dish and won't expose your identity."
Then tell him that if he wants me to cook, he has to agree to three conditions. Otherwise, there's no deal."
" What condition? Tell me."
" Firstly, the dishes I cook must be eaten by the audience first. Otherwise, I won't cook. Secondly, I have to choose the ingredients myself. Thirdly, I can't let Shen Teng treat me to supper for free," Chen Zixin said.
" I agree to your three conditions. As long as you fulfill them, I'll treat you to supper," Shen Teng said as he walked over.
" Alright, I want two lamb legs," Chen Zixin said with a smile.
"You're taking advantage of a burning house! "Fine, I agree." Shen Teng left after saying that.
Chen Zixin smiled and took out three packets of food from his pocket. He handed them to Reba, Yang Mi, and Tang Yan." This is for you. Take it and eat!"
"Hmph, didn't you say there's no more? "Then where did this come from?" Reba asked.
" I hid it so that you wouldn't eat it all at once," Chen Zixin said.
" You're not bad. You left it for us," Yang Mi said.
"Yes, you guys can eat it! "You can give it to anyone but Huang Zitao. I don't like him," Chen Zixin said in a low voice.
" Sigh, why is my husband so jealous? Alright, I got it. Bye bye." Yang Mi left after saying that. Reba and Tang Yan also smiled and left. Chen Zixin also smiled and returned to his seat to drink water. Yang Mi and the others distributed the snacks to everyone." Why aren't the three of you giving me some food?"
" There's not enough left for us to eat. We can't give it to them, or else we won't be able to eat it," Yang Mi said.
" Heh, you're so stingy. Why didn't you give Zixin some?"
" He never eats snacks. It's a waste to give him snacks. Why should I give him snacks?" Reba said.
Chen Zixin smiled and drank the water without saying anything. Shen Teng asked," Zixin, you really don't eat snacks?"
" I'm not eating. How can snacks be as delicious as rice? You can't eat until you're full," Chen Zixin said.
" That's true. With your appetite, how many snacks do you need to fill your stomach? You should eat more," Shen Teng said with a smile.
Chen Zixin smiled and drank his water without saying a word. Soon, the intermission was over and everyone returned to the field. Shen Tao said," Alright, welcome back, everyone. Next, we'll proceed to the next round of the game. The game's event is the skill Solitaire."
An introduction was played on the big screen, and everyone understood what was going on. Then, they began to arrange the members: Cheng Long, Chen Zixin, Wang Yuan, Huang Zitao, Zhang Lanxin, Yang Mi, Reba, Gao Weiguang, and the others to watch the battle.
" Alright, big brother, you'll be the first runner. Please get ready," Shen Tao said.
Cheng Long walked up the stage with a smile. He spun his arms a few times, then did a somersault and said," This can be insta-killed!
" Brother, you can do it. Let me try," Wang Yuan said as he did a low-end somersault. Then, he took off his shoes and threw them into the air. Mine is amazing."
Everyone burst into laughter when they heard that. Then, they began to perform their movements, causing everyone to laugh out loud. Soon, it was Chen Zixin's turn to perform his movements. His next move was a hot one. Shen Teng said," Zixin, you can't be soft-hearted the moment you see your wife. You have to kill her instantly."
" Go, go, go. It wasn't easy for me to find a wife, so my heart can't help but ache. I came to the show so that my wife won't suffer. I have to think about my wife. I won't do anything difficult. I'll do something simple," Chen Zixin said.
Reba, Yang Mi, and Tang Yan were very happy and happy when they heard Chen Zixin calling her his wife. Shen Teng said,"" Big brother, we're done for. With Zixin as a spy, we won't be able to win."
" Why did you send him there back then? He'll definitely be soft-hearted when he sees his wife," Cheng Long said.
Chen Zixin listened to their conversation and smiled. He bent down and stood up. Wife, this is simple!"
" Mm, you did well. I'll give you a verbal compliment once." Reba smiled and started to do what the others did. Chen Zixin dotingly watched as Reba finished his actions and stood up." Alright, the first round is tied. Let's move on to the second round."
" Zixin, you're the first runner," Cheng Long said.
" Ah, why should I do it for the first time?" Chen Zixin asked.
" I was afraid that you would be soft-hearted. Gao Weiguang is behind you. You won't be soft-hearted now, right?!" Cheng Long said.
" Alright, whatever you say. I'll be the first one," Chen Zixin said.
Soon, it was the second round. Chen Zixin stood on the field and Shen Teng said,"" Zixin, kill him in an instant. He's not your wife, so don't be soft-hearted. Be ruthless."
Chen Zixin smiled as he tightened his clothes. He did three somersaults, shocking everyone. Chen Zixin smiled and said," Teacher Shen Teng, we can insta-kill him now, right?!"
" Good job. Zixin should be like this. Don't be soft-hearted," Shen Teng said.
Chen Zixin smiled as he walked to the side and sat down. Gao Weiguang said blankly,""Brother Zixin is giving me a difficult problem! Brother, I beg you to change your actions! I can't do it. I've never learned martial arts. Please spare me!
" You'll have to ask them about this. If they want to change, I'll do it," Chen Zixin said.
" We don't agree to exchange. We'll have this," Shen Teng said.
"Brother! Change your movements! I can't do it. Sister Hot Bar, please beg Brother Zixin for me."
" Little Wolf, change your movements. Hurry up," Reba said.
" No, he'll change just because you told him to. Zixin can't listen to her. I'll add another roasted lamb leg for you tonight," Shen Teng said.
" You're putting me in a difficult position. I can't make a choice. Teacher Cheng Long, do you think we should exchange?" Chen Zixin said.
"Change! "I could do this when I was young, but they couldn't do it without learning martial arts," Cheng Long said.
" Since you've already spoken, I'll change my moves." After Chen Zixin finished speaking, he walked onto the stage and stood up." Is this good?!
" Sure, sure. Brother, your flexibility is good enough," Gao Weiguang said.
"Hurry up and do it!" As Chen Zixin spoke, he walked down and sat down. Gao Weiguang nodded and began to do a low-profile split horse, causing everyone to laugh out loud. Gao Weiguang also laughed non-stop because of himself. Soon, the others also began to relay the performance. When it was over, Shen Tao said," Alright, the two teams are still tied. Let's take a break before the final game challenge."
Everyone sat together and chatted. Shen Tao walked over and said, Zixin, come out with me for a while. You can choose whatever you want; I'll pay."
Chen Zixin nodded and followed Shen Tao out. Cheng Long asked," What are the two of them going out for?
" Oh, Zixin promised Shen Tao and I that he would cook for everyone on the show. He's out picking ingredients now," Shen Teng said.
" Yes, Zixin knows how to cook," Zhang Guoli said.
" Haha, Zixin is finally going to cook. I haven't eaten Zixin's cooking in a long time," Cheng Long said with a smile.
" Brother, have you eaten Zixin's cooking?" Shen Teng asked.
" I've eaten before. After the earthquake in Ya 'an, I sat down with some soldiers to eat. The food that day was made by Zixin. The food he made was very delicious and amazing. I ate three meals in a row," Cheng Long said.
" He's very good at cooking," Zeng Zhiwei said.
" He's very impressive. He's the chef of a state banquet, and he's the first person in the country to receive the title of state banquet chef at the age of 15. He's a genius in the culinary world. He only made two state banquets before joining the army. There's a saying in the culinary world that goes,'Genius Chef Chen Zixin, a legend in the culinary world," Cheng Long said.
" Big Brother, how did you know? Little Wolf didn't let us tell you. Where did you know?" Reba asked.
" I had dinner with those soldiers. I was shocked when I heard what they said, so I remember it very clearly," Cheng Long said.
"Oh my god! The chef of the state banquet was too young! "Whoever eats his food will be very lucky," Zhang Guoli said.
" Haha, that's why I got lucky," Cheng Long said.
" Big Brother, no matter how lucky you are, you can't compare to Big Brother Hu. He has been eating Wolf Cub's cooking for three years, and he doesn't repeat it every day. Big Brother Hu and Wolf Cub's exclusive dishes are not available to anyone else. Even if Sister Jianing wants to eat it, she has to rely on Big Brother Hu to coax Wolf Cub to cook. Wolf Cub can only cook for someone without complaining in his life. Even Huang Lei and Teacher Huang don't have this kind of luck," Reba said.
"No, the relationship between the two of them is too good! "They're closer than real brothers. How close are they?" Zeng Zhiwei asked.
"It's hard to explain. As long as Zixin has something good to eat, drink, or play with, the first person he calls is always Brother Hu. Brother Hu once coaxed Zixin to sleep for three whole years without a single day of rest. The two of them are indeed better than real brothers. When Zixin is angry, only Brother Hu listens to him. Don't think about the others. Every time they meet, they call each other 'baby brother' and 'baby brother', which makes people envious." Jianing Jie joked that she's an obstacle for Brother Hu and Zixin. They probably just got together," Tang Yan said.
" Then their relationship isn't bad. To be able to coax Zixin to sleep for three years without falling asleep for a single day, their relationship is really deep," Zhang Guoli said.
" I'm curious now. What kind of exclusive dish did Zixin make for Brother Hu? He wouldn't make it for anyone else," Cheng Long asked.
" French steak and the braised Kirin noodles that Zixin recently added for Brother Hu. These two dishes are Brother Hu's specialty dishes. I've known him for almost ten years, but I've never eaten this dish before. Zixin only knows how to cook for Brother Hu. The others can only smell it," Tang Yan said.
" I've heard of Braised Kirin Noodles before. It's a dish from the Manchu Han Imperial Feast. Zixin is amazing enough to know how to cook a dish from the Manchu Han Imperial Feast," Zhang Guoli said.
" He can cook at least 50 dishes for the Manchu Han Imperial Feast. Mimi, Reba, and I have all eaten his dishes before. Moreover, he knows the specialties of various places. The eight major cuisines are nothing to him. He also has more than a dozen dishes that he developed himself. None of the hotels in the country have them, and none of the dishes that he developed himself are available on the internet. It's not an exaggeration to call him a genius chef," Tang Yan said.
"Aiyo! This cooking skill is too good! "I can create my own dishes. No, I have to eat more later. This is a dish made by the chef of the state banquet," Zhang Guoli said.
" We do need to eat more, but I have to tell you that Zixin will let the audience eat the dishes first before we can eat them. If we don't agree to his request, he won't cook," Shen Teng said.
" That's fine. Let the audience and staff eat first before we eat," Cheng Long said.
Everyone nodded and continued chatting. Not long after, Chen Zixin and Shen Tao returned. Cheng Long smiled and said, Zixin, what are you cooking today?"
" Hehe, Teacher Cheng Long, you must have told everyone about my identity!" Chen Zixin asked.
I haven't eaten your cooking in a long time. What are you planning to cook?"
" Temporarily confidential.
Alright, I'll leave you with a sense of mystery."
Chen Zixin sat down with a smile and drank some water. Soon, the intermission time was up. Everyone returned to the stage and started the game segment. Shen Tao said," Alright, let's move on to the last round of the game, finger fencing."
There was another video that everyone watched. Shen Tao said," Alright, since the number of people in the Kungfu Team is small, you will be the ones to choose your opponents and challenge them."
"Let me do it! "I'll pick Wang Yuan," Huang Zitao said.
" Alright, please watch the battle from the side," Shen Tao said.
Chen Zixin and the others sat at the side and watched the match. On the field, Huang Zitao and Wang Yuan were competing with each other. They were full of jokes and made everyone laugh. Chen Zixin smiled faintly and didn't say anything. He only drank water.
Soon, the first game ended. Huang Zitao got one point. It was Shen Teng's turn to go on stage and said,""I'll pick a woman! Then I definitely can't pick Zixin's wife. If I defeat Zixin's wife, he'll tear me apart."
" Haha, Brother Teng, can't you be more ambitious and pick a man?" Shen Tao said.
Alright, then pick a man. I'll pick Youting!" Shen Teng said.
" Good, you have ambition. I support you," Shen Tao said.
Shen Teng and Zhao Youting smeared the poison on their faces and walked to the middle. The drums started to beat, and the two began to compete. Zhao Youting had the advantage of long hands and got one point. Shen Teng walked down with a bitter smile. Soon, the five rounds were over, and the kung fu team won by one point.
Shen Tao said,"Alright, after three rounds of competition, the Kungfu Team is one point ahead of the Immortal Love Team and has obtained the final victory. They have obtained the diamond to open the treasure chest. Next, let's invite our etiquette lady to bring the diamond up."
There was a round of applause. A beautiful woman in a white cheongsam walked up with a smile while holding a wooden box. Shen Teng asked Cheng Long to open the treasure chest and take out the ultimate gem of the day. Shen Teng's team cheered.
Shen Tao smiled and said," Alright, let's congratulate the Kung Fu team for winning. It's time for our welfare. Come on!" Bring it up."
Everyone looked over and saw two staff members carrying the stove up. There were many ingredients on the stove. Cheng Long saw them and said excitedly,"Haha, we can eat Zixin's dishes again today. Where's Zixin? Where did he go?"
" He went to change his clothes. He'll be back soon," Shen Tao said.
Cheng Long nodded. Not long after, Chen Zixin walked up wearing a white chef's robe and carrying a black bag.
"Aiya!" Shen Tao said. Zixin, you look so handsome in a chef's robe! "May I ask what's so special about your chef robe and the bag on your back?"
" It's nothing special. It's mainly because I'm afraid that the oil and smoke will stain my clothes. My wife bought this for me. As for the bag on my back, it's my special knife. I've been keeping it at the Wanhao Hotel next to the television station. I specially brought it over for him," Chen Zixin said.
"Aiyo! " You treasure the clothes your wife bought so much. Zixin, open up your special knife for us to see," Shen Teng said.
" You can look at it, but you can't touch it. I don't like people touching my special knife. It was custom-made for me by the country," Chen Zixin said.
" Alright, I know your rules. I promise I won't touch knives," Shen Teng said.
Chen Zixin placed the package on the table and opened it. Silver knives and other tools were displayed in front of everyone. Cheng Long said,"It's really the special knife of the chef of the state banquet. This knife is not ordinary! What's the origin of Zixin's saber?"
"Hmm, origin? "It was produced at the place where the Dragon Spring Sword was made. I won't say the price. Those who know the industry should know the price," Chen Zixin said.
"Oh my god! This is a treasure! The Dragon Spring Sword is one of the top ten famous swords in our country. The knives produced by it are worth thousands of dollars. Amazing! "Zixin, how about this? I'll take a picture with you with the knife," Zhang Guoli said.
" How about this? I'll wrap the package and you can take a picture with it on your back. How about that?" Chen Zixin said.
" Aiyo, then I'm honored. This is the knife of the chef of the state banquet. I have to feel it," Zhang Guoli said.
As Chen Zixin spoke, he wrapped the parcel and put it on Zhang Guoli's back. Zhang Guoli smiled and took a photo with Chen Zixin. Big brother, do you want to feel it?"
Zixin, can I?" Cheng Long asked.
Chen Zixin nodded. Cheng Long smiled and took a photo with the knife on his back. Zeng Zhiwei said, Since the two of you have taken photos, I have to take photos too."
" Go away, go away. The two of us look like heroes, but you don't," Zhang Guoli teased.
" Zixin, let's take a picture," Zeng Zhiwei said.
Chen Zixin smiled as he carried the knife on Zeng Zhiwei's back. The two of them took a photo. Shen Teng said,""Zixin, can you cook now? I'm hungry."
" Alright, I'll cook then," Chen Zixin said as he walked to the stove. Zixin, can you tell me what you want to cook now?"
" Yes, a dish of Sichuan Kung Pao Chicken and a dish of Confucius 'Lotus Tofu," Chen Zixin said.
" Confucius Manor Cuisine? Does our country have this type of cuisine?" Huang Zitao asked.
Chen Zixin shook his head and didn't say anything. Zhang Guoli sighed and said,""Zitao, don't tell anyone that you're from Shandong. It's embarrassing. You don't even know the most famous cuisine in your hometown. The dishes of Confucius 'Mansion originated from the Song Renzong's Baoyuan period. They were specially prepared for receiving distinguished guests, taking office, birthdays, weddings, and funerals. The descendants of the Kong family in the Confucius Mansion were even better than the saints in terms of diet. Therefore, after the labor of tens of millions of chefs, they created a unique cooking style in the Residence of Confucius. The Confucius Mansion was established by the descendants of Confucius, so it was called the Confucius Mansion Cuisine. Moreover, the Confucius Mansion Cuisine is a world intangible cultural heritage. You should read more when you have time! "Our country's culture is extensive and profound. It's something that many seniors have explored for thousands of years. Some of you young people only know pop culture and don't know traditional culture. It's good for you to read more books when you have time."
" I've been taught a lesson. Teacher Guo Li, I've been taught a lesson," Huang Zitao said.
" Hey, look at how we talk. It doesn't affect Zixin's cooking at all. He doesn't even say a word to us," Zeng Zhiwei said.
" Zhiwei, you don't know Zixin. I've been with Zixin for a period of time. During the earthquake relief, Zixin only focused on hard work and didn't say a word to me. There was once when I helped them set up a tent. I chatted with Zixin, but no matter what I said, he just nodded and shook his head. He didn't say a word. Later, the soldier beside me told me that no one could disturb Zixin when he was doing things. Even if the sky collapsed, he wouldn't be disturbed. His focused attitude is worth learning from," Cheng Long said.
" Big Brother is right. You should focus on your work and not think about other things," Zeng Zhiwei said.
Chen Zixin cooked very quickly, and not long after, an alluring fragrance spread out. Zhang Guoli and the others swallowed their saliva and said,"My God, this fragrance is too tempting! "I can't hold back my saliva. How is this called watching Zixin cook? This is clearly torturing us. I'm from Sichuan and I've eaten Kung Pao Chicken before. Zixin's Kung Pao Chicken is very authentic. This fragrance makes me miss my hometown too much."
" What? You just want to eat it? Don't say that," Cheng Long said.
" Brother, I've eaten Zixin's dishes before. I can't help it!" Zhang Guoli said.
" Haha, I'll be free in two days. I'll go over to his place as a guest and ask him to make me something delicious," Cheng Long said.
" If you go, I have to go too. I have to go and have a good meal," Zhang Guoli said.
" If both of you are going, then I have to go too. I heard from Hua Zai and Xing Zai that Zixin not only cooks well, but he also makes good tea. The wine he makes is also very delicious. Hua Zai and Xing Zai treasure the wine that Zixin gives them. They usually can't bear to drink it. They also can't bear to drink the tea leaves that Zixin stir-fried himself," Zeng Zhiwei said.
" Zixin actually knows how to brew wine and stir-fry tea. Shen Teng, have you drunk Zixin's wine before?" Zhang Guoli asked.
" Yes, I've drunk the 15-year-old osmanthus wine that he brewed. The taste is indescribable. It's simply divine wine. Zixin even gave me two bottles of wine. I treasure them," Shen Teng said proudly.
" I'll treat everyone to dinner tonight. Take out your wine and let us have a taste," Cheng Long said.
" Brother, I'm sorry. I didn't bring the wine," Shen Teng said.
Did you really not bring it?" Cheng Long asked with a smile.
" Then I can only take out one bottle at most. I won't take out the remaining bottle even if you beat me up," Shen Teng said.
" One bottle is fine. I'll go to Zixin's place in two days and get eight to ten bottles. We're so close, he'll definitely agree," Cheng Long said.
" Big Brother, I didn't expect you to be like this. You're revealing your true colors for the sake of wine," Zhang Guoli teased.
Cheng Long laughed, and the others could not help but laugh. Soon, Chen Zixin finished cooking two dishes. He made a total of twenty plates. Chen Zixin said, Teacher Shen Tao, Teacher Shen Teng, the two of you come over and help me serve these dishes to the audience. I've made ten plates of each dish and I'll give five plates of each dish to the audience for them to share."
" Alright, I'm here, I'm here. Shen Tao, you take the chopsticks. I'll serve the dishes," Shen Teng said.
" Aiya, your cooking is so beautiful. This Lotus Tofu is really like a blooming lotus. And this Kung Pao Chicken, your carvings of a phoenix with carrots are so realistic. I'll take a photo and send it to the group," Shen Teng said as he took out his phone to take a photo. Shen Tao also took out his phone to take a photo. Chen Zixin smiled and walked down with two plates of dishes." Everyone, share the food. I didn't prepare many ingredients, so I could only make this much. Don't fight over it, everyone should be able to eat a bite."
" Thank you, Young Master Wushuang. We promise not to snatch it," the audience said.
" Come, come, come. Everyone, take your chopsticks and share." Shen Tao lifted his chopsticks after he finished speaking.
" Everyone has a portion. You don't have to fight for it to get to eat the dishes of the state banquet," Shen Teng said as he held two plates of dishes.
" Come, have a taste of my Little Wolf's cooking," Reba said as he came over with two dishes.
" Come, my friends, have a taste of our new dishes," Yang Mi said as she brought two dishes over.
" Here, there are ten dishes in total. These are all made by our Zixin. What do you think?" Tang Yan asked while holding two dishes.
" It's too delicious. As expected of Young Master Wushuang's cooking. We're actually able to eat the food cooked by the national banquet's chef. Our luck is too good."
Chen Zixin smiled and returned to the stage.""You guys go eat too! Don't fight for it."
" Woah, it's time to eat. I'm drooling all over." After saying that, Zhang Guoli quickly ran over to pick up his chopsticks and started eating. Cheng Long and the others immediately came over to eat when they saw him.
"Aiya! This taste is too amazing. The color, smell, and taste are all there. Especially the phoenix carving, it's too beautiful. Don't eat the phoenix. I have to take a photo."
The taste is so good. It's even better than the ones made by Michelin restaurants. I've never eaten such tender chicken before."
" Nonsense, this is a national banquet dish. How can it be bad?"
“………”。
Chen Zixin drank the water and smiled as he watched everyone fight to eat. Not long after, everyone finished their food in satisfaction. Shen Teng said," Zixin, you haven't eaten yet. You only gave it to us."
" Aren't you going to treat me to a roast lamb leg? I have to save some food for myself. Besides, if I eat it, there's still a share for you," Chen Zixin said.
"Alright, isn't it just roast lamb leg? "I'll treat you to a meal, but you have to leave me some money. I don't have much private money. Take care of your stomach and leave me some money for the fare home," Shen Teng said.
" Sure, I'll leave some money for you," Chen Zixin said.
Everyone laughed and chatted for a while before ending the recording. Everyone took a bus to the private room of the Wanhao Hotel to eat. Cheng Long smiled and arranged for everyone to sit down. Cheng Long said, Zixin, come sit beside me. Let's catch up."
" Teacher Cheng Long, how can I sit in that seat? I'm a junior and can't sit with you. I'll just sit down. Otherwise, I won't be able to eat properly," Chen Zixin said.
" Yang, don't try to persuade Zixin. Zixin is very particular about table manners. I've known him for ten years, and Brother Hu and Jianing always sit at the top when they eat. He doesn't even know how to sit with you. He only knows how to sit at the bottom and eat. If you sit with him while he eats, he really won't be able to eat well. He's been taught etiquette and culture by his master since he was young," Tang Yan said.
"Alright, I won't force you. Sit down! "Eat as much as you can today. I know how much you can eat, so the food is full," Cheng Long said.
" Hehe, thank you then," Chen Zixin said happily.
Shen Teng changed the topic."Zixin, I heard that you went to many places when you were young. Where did you stay the longest?"
" Yes, before I was thirteen, I stayed the longest in Little Nanny Di's hometown. I stayed at her home for more than a year when I was eight or nine. I often helped her parents do farm work. I helped her family harvest the crops for more than a year. I was the one who raised the sheep her grandparents fed. Her grandparents, parents, and grandparents really like me," Chen Zixin said.
" You learned how to please your parents-in-law when you were young. You're really smart," Shen Teng said.
" Bah, you're so thick-skinned. You've been eating at my house for more than a year, and you've eaten more than ten of my sheep. You should compensate me for my sheep," Reba said.
" Haha, Reba is so cute. Zixin already gave him to you, and you still want him to compensate you? He has to have money. Don't you have all his bank cards?" Shen Teng said.
" Tsk, he just received a sum of money yesterday and hasn't handed it in yet. Little Wolf, hurry up and hand it over," Reba said.
" Your eyes are sharp enough. I haven't warmed them up yet. I'll definitely give them to you after dinner," Chen Zixin said.
Reba nodded happily. Chen Zixin said, Actually, I've not only eaten Little Nanny Di's parents 'cooking, but I've also eaten Yang Mi's parents' cooking."
"Ah, you know my parents? No way! "When did you meet my parents?" Yang Mi asked in surprise.
" I saved your life when you were young. Your parents thanked me and made me a meal," Chen Zixin said.
You saved my life when I was young. Why can't I remember?"
"You were still a young girl at that time. I probably remember that you were filming some movie! "You fell into the water, and I happened to pass by and saved you. I checked on you and found that you were fine, so I went to find your parents behind your back. Your parents cooked a meal for me, and I left after eating," Chen Zixin said.
" Ah, I remember now. I was filming Tang Minghuang at that time. There was once when I tripped over a rock and fell into the river. I was saved by a masked child. So it was you. Why didn't you wait for me to wake up before leaving? I didn't have time to thank you," Yang Mi said.
" I was still receiving my master's training at that time, so I couldn't delay it for too long, so I left after eating," Chen Zixin said.
" Oh, the dishes haven't been served yet. Let me toast you with tea instead of wine to thank you for saving my life." Yang Mi poured a cup of tea and handed it to Chen Zixin. You're already my wife, so you still need to thank me. If you want to thank me, just put on sexy lingerie and sleep with me tonight."
" Alright, I promise you," Yang Mi said in a low voice.
" Here, let me toast you," Yang Mi said as she drank a cup of tea. Chen Zixin smiled and finished his tea. Yang Mi, you can't thank me by drinking tea. You have to give me a toast."
" He doesn't drink. His master told him not to drink. Anyone who went to the mushroom house knows that Zixin doesn't drink. Brother Teng knows that too," Yang Mi said.
" That's right. Zixin doesn't drink a single drop of alcohol. He doesn't even drink soda, milk tea, or coffee. He only drinks tea and water. He doesn't eat snacks at all," Shen Teng said.
"Aiya! " You can actually hold on and not drink. There aren't many people your age who don't drink," Zhang Guoli said.
" Before my master died, he warned me strictly not to drink alcohol. Drinking alcohol would affect my martial arts practice and my nerve reaction speed. It would affect my learning of other skills," Chen Zixin said.
" Oh, it seems like you follow your master's rules," Zhang Guoli said.
Chen Zixin nodded. Cheng Long changed the topic and said," Since you don't drink, you must have brewed a lot of wine. Give me eight to ten bottles. That's not much, right?"
" Eight to ten bottles. You're really shameless to ask for it. It's not that much," Chen Zixin said.
" Then how much are you giving?"
I'll give you at most three bottles and a catty of tea leaves, but you have to help me with the work."
I'm just a guest, and you're still asking me to do work? What work?"
The fruits in my orchard can be plucked. I need to use them to brew wine."
Brewing wine? No problem. I'll do it. When the wine is ready, send me some."
Sure, I'll send you some."
" Okay, okay, okay. The waiter has served the dishes," Cheng Long said with a smile.
Everyone laughed. Soon, the waiter served the dishes. Shen Teng took out the wine and said," Big Brother, I'll just take out one bottle. I'll keep that bottle for myself."
"You can keep it! "Anyway, I'll go to Zixin's place for dinner in two days. There's plenty of wine to drink," Cheng Long said.
Shen Teng smiled and poured everyone a glass of wine. He sat down and said, Zixin, I brought you a pot of Longjing tea. Take your time."
Chen Zixin said,"Yes, it's a premium Shifeng Longjing tea. You brought such good tea leaves. Do you have a favor to ask of me?"
" Your nose is really sharp. You do have a favor to ask," Shen Teng said.
" Just say what it is," Chen Zixin said.
" After dinner, write me a set of calligraphy. I didn't get your calligraphy when I went to the mushroom house last time," Shen Teng said.
" You'll be short-sighted if you eat people, but you'll be soft-hearted if you take them. Alright, I'll help you write one after dinner," Chen Zixin said.
Shen Teng nodded happily. Zhang Guoli asked,"" Zixin, you're calligraphy?
" Yes. I started learning calligraphy from my master when I was three. It's been twenty-one years since then," Chen Zixin said.
"Aiya! "Then you've been studying for a long time. Let's have a talk after dinner. I like calligraphy too," Zhang Guoli said.
Sure, I can only write semi-cursive and Xiaozhuan at most. What about you, Teacher Guo Li?"
"Me! It's written in both running script and cursive script, but it's not easy for you to write Xiaozhuan! Xiao Zhuan is not easy to write."
"It's alright! You'll learn it after writing more."
Zhang Guoli nodded. Everyone continued to drink and eat. Soon, everyone else was full. Only Chen Zixin was still eating in big mouthfuls. Cheng Long smiled and said,"Zixin! "You're still so good at eating. Eat slowly. No one will snatch it from you. I'll serve more if there's not enough food."
" No need. I'll just finish these two lamb legs." After saying that, Chen Zi began to eat the lamb legs in big mouthfuls.
"Big Brother, does Zixin eat a lot?" Zhang Guoli asked.
I ate with him after the earthquake, and he ate 18 steamed buns, four bowls of porridge, and half a catty of pickled vegetables."
"Oh my god! Eighteen steamed buns. I know the steamed buns in the army are two taels each. Eighteen is a few catties of steamed buns. He eats too much! Zhang Guoli said.
The point is, no matter how much Zixin eats, he won't get fat. Does he have any exercise methods?" Zhang Lanxin asked.
" Lan Xin, I'm telling you, don't learn his training methods. You can't learn any of them. I've been with him for a period of time and I've seen his training methods. At that time, he could run 20 kilometers with a weight of 50 kilograms. He could do 1,000 push-ups in one breath. I don't know how much he can do now," Cheng Long said.
" He can now run 40 kilometers with a weight of 350 pounds. He can do 2,000 push-ups and sit-ups every morning. He can swim 15 kilometers with a weight of 100 pounds. He still has 150 pounds of leggings on him," Reba said.
" Really? I want to see," Zhang Lanxin said.
"Let's wait for him to finish his meal! "Tell him again," Yang Mi said.
Under everyone's gaze, Chen Zixin finished all the food on the table and wiped his mouth."" Sigh, I'm finally full. This lamb leg was roasted pretty well, but I didn't eat enough. Teacher Shen Teng, I'll pack one up and bring it back later. You pay."
" Alright, I'll pay," Shen Teng said.
" Zixin, take off your leggings for us to see," Zhang Lanxin said.
Chen Zixin smiled as he took off the leggings and placed them on the table. Cheng Long took them over and shook them." This is definitely more than 150 catties!
" Yes, a whole 200 pounds of leggings. I'm currently carrying 400 pounds," Chen Zixin said.
"Oh my god! Do you have masochism? Why are you so cruel to yourself?"
"It's alright! "It's not heavy, it's like a cotton ball." After saying that, Chen Zixin tied the leggings and said, Teacher Shen Teng, let's go. I'll help you write."
" Please, please, please. I've prepared the Four Treasures of the Study in my room," Shen Teng said as he left the room with Chen Zixin. I'll go and see how Zixin's calligraphy is. Let's have a chat."
" I'll go too. I like calligraphy too," Cheng Long said.
As he spoke, everyone left the private room and went to Shen Teng's room. Shen Teng smiled and made a cup of tea for Chen Zixin. Chen Zixin smiled and rubbed his ink. What do you want me to write?"
" How about this? I just got married not long ago. How about you write me a painting of a happy marriage for a hundred years?" Shen Teng said.
" Since you just got married, I'll have to change the paper and ink for you. This ink washi won't do," Chen Zixin said.
" This paper isn't torn, so why can't I write?" Shen Teng said.
" It's a happy occasion that you just got married. You can't write it on white paper and black ink. It's inauspicious. You have to write it on red paper and gold ink. That way, it'll look auspicious," Chen Zixin said.
"Aiya! "There's so much to learn about how to write words, but I don't have red paper or gold ink," Shen Teng said.
" Wait for me, I'll be right back," Chen Zixin said and left the room. Zixin's calligraphy knowledge is really high."
" Mr. Guo Li, he hasn't written yet. How do you know that his calligraphy knowledge is high enough?" Huang Zitao said.
" You haven't learned calligraphy before, so you don't know the importance of calligraphy. Although white paper and black ink can also be used to congratulate, it's more appropriate not to use red paper and gold ink to congratulate. Actually, you can also use yellow paper to congratulate. Red paper is the best. Zixin really knows how to do it," Zhang Guoli said.
" Teacher Guoli, you're right. Zixin really knows his stuff. Some time ago, Teacher Song Dandan asked Zixin to write a calligraphy painting for his birthday. Teacher Song Dandan took out a golden red paper and Zixin saw it with a glance. He wrote a painting of a hundred years of life for Teacher Song Dandan. I wonder if you've heard of it," Yang Mi said.
" I've heard of the Painting of Longevity. It was created by Liang Xicheng of the Southern Song Dynasty. There are seal script, regular script, official script, running script, cursive script, oracle bone script, or a combination of several types of characters. Zixin can actually write it out. He must be a master. Is he a member of the Calligraphy Association?" Zhang Guoli asked.
" I'm not a member. They invited me before, but I didn't agree to join their association," Chen Zixin said as he walked in with some things.
" You child, why didn't you join us when we invited you? This is such a good opportunity," Cheng Long said.
" I practice calligraphy as a hobby. I like freedom and don't like to be restricted. Besides, they have too many meetings. I can't be bothered to listen to their long speeches," Chen Zixin said.
" Is what you said true? The Calligraphy Association invited you? Huang Zitao said in disbelief.
" He's telling the truth. There's a letter written by the president of the Calligraphy Association at home. Not only did he reject the Calligraphy Association, but he also rejected the invitation of the National Writers 'Association. There's also a letter written by the president at home," Reba said.
" No, you're really different. You just turned down such a good opportunity like that. Your style is really different," Zeng Zhiwei said.
Chen Zixin smiled." Teacher Guo Li, Teacher Cheng Long, which one of you knows how to grind gold ink? I need help."
" I'll do this. I can grind the ink. You just have to write it," Zhang Guoli said.
Chen Zixin nodded and handed the ink and inkstone to Zhang Guoli. He took the red paper and laid it on the table. Zhang Guoli saw it and said," Zixin, you're really generous to use this paper to write for Shen Teng. Aren't you afraid that he'll waste such good paper?"
" Teacher Guo Li, is this paper very expensive? Shen Teng asked.
" This is Red Star Xuan paper that has been around for 20 years. Now, this piece of paper can be sold for tens of thousands of dollars. If it's a knife, it can be sold for hundreds of thousands. That's why I said that it would be a waste to use this piece of paper to write for you," Zhang Guoli said.
" Zixin, thank you for your kindness. Don't use such good paper. I'm not afraid of inauspicious things. Just write on white paper. Let's not waste such good paper," Shen Teng said.
" It's fine. I said I'd write for you, so I'll write for you. I still have a few more cuts of this paper. I'm not afraid of wasting it. Besides, I've never wasted anything when I write," Chen Zixin said.
" Then thank you, Zixin, for writing on such good paper. Thank you, thank you," Shen Teng said happily.
Zhang Guoli said,"Zi Xinmo is done. You can use it."
Chen Zixin thanked him and dipped his brush in the ink. His entire person seemed to have changed. Zhang Guoli said in surprise,"Oh my god! Zixin's aura is so strong! It's so heavy that I can't breathe."
" Not to mention you, I can't even breathe," Cheng Long said.
" Why is Zixin's aura so strong?" Zeng Zhiwei asked.
" As soon as he writes, his aura becomes very strong. It's like he's a different person. No one can disturb him. Even if we make noise beside him, he won't budge," Tang Yan said.
" No, can you ask him to restrain his aura? I'm having difficulty breathing from the pressure," Huang Zitao said.
" Zitao, take a few steps back and you should be able to breathe," Zhang Guoli said.
Huang Zitao took a few steps back gloomily. Cheng Long whispered to Zhang Guoli and Zeng Zhiwei," Sigh, Zitao hasn't suffered before. He can't even withstand this kind of aura. I heard from Tang Yan that Zixin has compressed his aura very low. If he uses his full aura, none of us will be able to withstand it."
" He's young and frivolous, and he hasn't been trained before. Zixin must have seen many leaders of the country at state banquets, so he must have a strong aura. His aura is already very low," Zhang Guoli said.
" There are a lot of young hunks nowadays who are flashy but not practical. Hua Zai is right. If Zixin enters the entertainment industry, the young hunks nowadays are really no match for him. They don't even have the qualifications to do so," Zeng Zhiwei said.
Cheng Long and Zhang Guoli nodded. Reba whispered to Yang Mi, Sister Mi, our husband is really jealous. He's deliberately targeting us."
" Why would I have such a jealous husband?" Yang Mi whispered.
" Mimi, Zixin saved your life. How should we thank him?" Tang Yan asked.
" Mm. At most, I'll sleep with him tonight," Yang Mi said.
Tang Yan and Reba smiled. Soon, Chen Zixin finished writing and retracted his aura. Teacher Shen Teng, I didn't write a hundred years of love for you. I wrote a poem by Nalan Rongruo in the Qing Dynasty. It's very suitable for your newlywed days. Take a look.
" Aiya, you even wrote a poem for me. I have to see what kind of poem suits me very well now," Shen Teng said as he took the piece of paper and looked at it,""No, your handwriting is too beautiful! What font is this? Teacher Guo Li, you know what kind of font this is."
" This is the Liu style. It was created by the last great calligrapher of the Tang Dynasty, Liu Gongquan. Zixin's calligraphy is refreshing and elegant. It's strong and firm, and the style is rigorous. The strokes are perfect. Shen Teng, you're lucky to get such good calligraphy. If Zixin's calligraphy is auctioned, it will definitely be high, not low," Zhang Guoli said.
" Then I can't auction it. Zixin wrote this especially for me. I'll frame it and hang it in my bedroom to look at it every day," Shen Teng said.
"Zixin, are you alright now? " How about we have a calligraphy lesson?" Zhang Guoli asked.
"It's already eleven o'clock at night. It's too late! I still have to go practice. Aren't you coming to my place in two days? " Then, we can have a good discussion. What do you think?" Chen Zixin asked.
" Practice? What kind of practice do you want? Why aren't you sleeping at night?" Zhang Guoli said.
" Little Wolf has a habit since he was young. He would sit quietly for an hour every night. He said that it could calm his mind for a day and allow him to think about problems well. He has been doing it for twenty-one years," Reba said.
" You're really hardworking. Alright, I won't disturb your practice. Let's have a good chat in a few days," Zhang Guoli said.
Chen Zixin put away the ink and bade farewell to everyone with a smile. He then left Shen Teng's room and returned to his own room to practice. Just as he finished practicing and showered, the door rang. Chen Zixin opened the door and Reba, Tang Yan, and Yang Mi walked in. Chen Zixin said,"The three of you are too bold! We're outside, not at home. There are too many people talking. Go back quickly."
" What are you afraid of? We're your wives. What's there to hide?" Yang Mi said.
" Hubby, we'll accompany you," Reba said coquettishly.
Hubby, please?" Tang Yan said coquettishly.
"Alright then!" said Chen Zixin. The three of you, come with me. I have a private room here. No one will disturb me."
Reba, Yang Mi, and Tang Yan nodded and followed Chen Zixin to his private room. The moment they entered, they exclaimed," Wow, this private room is exactly the same as home. Other than the lack of bookshelves and musical instruments, it feels like home."
" I designed it according to my family's design. Go to bed and rest," Chen Zixin said.
Reba, Yang Mi, and Tang Yan quickly took off their coats and got on the bed. Chen Zixin also smiled and took off his shoes. Wife, I'm asking if the three of you have any work to do tomorrow."
"We didn't! "I have work on Monday," Yang Mi said.
" Alright then. I have a request that I hope you can agree to. It doesn't matter if you don't agree," Chen Zixin said.
What request? Just say it."
"Um, can I go on a date with the three of you? Last time in Tanzhou, Yifei, Xiaogu, and Yaya went on a date with me. Can you agree? Chen Zixin said hopefully.
"This? "We have to think about it," Reba said playfully.
"Are you afraid that your manager will find out? " I understand. I won't disturb you guys anymore," Chen Zixin said disappointedly, then turned off the lights and went to sleep.
"Hubby, we were just joking with you. Of course we want to go on a date with you. Don't be disappointed! "We'll go on a date with you," Yang Mi said.
" Really?! Chen Zixin asked in surprise.
" Of course it's true," Tang Yan said.
" Woah, that's great. The wives are asleep." After Chen Zixin finished speaking, he pulled the three of them into bed. Hubby, you're so annoying. You scared us."
" Hehe, Mimi, where's your sexy lingerie? Why aren't you wearing it?" Chen Zixin asked.
" I didn't bring it. I'll wear it for you when I get home," Yang Mi said.
" Hubby, I bought some too. I'll wear them for you when we get home," Tang Yan said.
" Hubby, I bought it too. I'll show it to you when I get home," Reba said.
Chen Zixin smiled. Yang Mi smiled and said,"The eight of us seem to have been saved by Zi Xin before. It's really fate! She actually became his wife."
" That's not right. Sister Qiao En didn't seem to have been saved by the wolf cub," Reba said.
" Who said I didn't save Qiao En?" Chen Zixin said.
" You saved her before? How did you do it?" Tang Yan asked.
Chen Zixin explained with a smile. The three of them smiled and said, You're saving a life in disguise, yet you still have the cheek to say that."
" That's right. Who asked you to cook?" Yang Mi said.
Chen Zixin smiled and wrapped his arms around the three of them."" Wifey, can you go to sleep now?!
" Alright, I'll listen to you. Let's sleep," the three girls said at the same time.
Chen Zixin hugged the three of them tightly. Reba, Yang Mi, and Tang Yan also hugged him tightly. The four of them fell asleep just like that.
