He Jiong smiled and started chatting with everyone. Huang Lei, who was soaking glutinous rice and bamboo leaves, walked in with some food and said,"Come, just chatting must be making you hungry! Come and have a taste. Zixin just sent over the double skin milk. Come and have a taste."
"Ah! "There's delicious food again. Brother is so nice. There's even dessert for dinner. Why doesn't my brother come in?" the younger sister said happily.
" Your brother just had the inspiration to write a novel. He's going back after putting down the double skin milk. He should write more while the inspiration is still there," Huang Lei said.
" You have to write more. Inspiration can come at any time. If you delay it, you might not even know if the inspiration is still there," He Jiong said.
Huang Lei smiled and distributed the double skin milk to everyone. Huang Lei ate the double skin milk and said," Peng Peng, your brother just told me that tomorrow, you have to keep your eyes open. Don't stutter when you speak. Be more confident and sunny. Big Brother Cheng Long doesn't like to stutter when he speaks. If you have any acting questions, just ask the three of them. The three of them are all award-level characters. Don't just smile foolishly. You have to have good judgment. It wasn't easy for your brother to invite the three of them over. You have to cherish this opportunity to learn."
" Mmm, I understand. I'll definitely cherish this opportunity, but I'm not as close to them as my brother. I can joke around with them as I please. They're all superstars," Peng Peng said.
" Child, don't treat them like superstars. Your brother said that the three of them are very approachable in private. Treat them as seniors, teachers, and seniors to learn from. Don't treat them like superstars. The three of them are just here to be guests and help your brother with some work," Huang Lei said.
" In the entire industry, only Zixin dares to order the three of them around. I don't even dare to think about it," Chen He said.
" Zixin and Big Brother Cheng Long met seven years ago. They've been together for quite some time, so they know each other very well. They can joke and play around," He Jiong said.
" We wouldn't dare to do that. We don't have the guts to joke around with Brother Cheng Long," Wang Likun said.
Huang Lei smiled and said,"You guys just can't let go. Learn from me. Tomorrow, you guys will see how I direct the three of them to work."
"Is that so? Teacher Huang, do you dare?" He Jiong asked with a smile.
What's there to be afraid of? I told them that Zixin asked them to work and that it had nothing to do with me."
" Haha, Teacher Huang, you've really tricked Zixin." He Jiong and the others laughed out loud.
Huang Lei smiled as she ate the double skinned milk. Soon, everyone finished their double skinned milk and chatted for a while before returning to their rooms to rest.
Chen Qiaoen saw that everyone was resting, so he quietly followed Reba to Chen Zixin's study room. When the two of them came to the study room, they saw that Chen Zixin had just finished writing something and stretched his back."Hubby, are you done? Why don't you rest?"
"Who are you two? Do I know you? Chen Zixin asked.
" We're your wives. Do you have amnesia?" Reba said.
"Why don't I know my wife? I only remember that there were two people who said that they were tired of looking at me every day. Why are you still here? Wouldn't it be nice to see other handsome guys?" Chen Zixin said with jealousy.
"Yo! "You're throwing a tantrum. You're bold enough. Are you going to sleep or not? If not, we're leaving," Chen Qiaoen said.
" Sleep, sleep, sleep. You'd be a fool if you didn't sleep." Chen Zixin took off his shoes and lay down on the bed to sleep. Reba and Chen Qiao 'en smiled, turned off the lights, took off their shoes and coats, and got on the bed. Hubby, why don't we add an entertainment activity tonight?"
" Sleep. Don't talk. There are still many things to do tomorrow," Chen Zixin said.
" You're really a blockhead. You're not interesting at all," Chen Qiaoen complained.
Chen Zixin heard Xiao Xiao pull the two of them into her arms and said,""Let me hug you and sleep peacefully! Can you spend more time with me in the future and not leave home for too long?"
" Yeah, we'll come home to accompany you as soon as we finish work," Chen Qiaoen said.
" Little Wolf, don't worry. I'll go home to accompany you immediately after work," Reba said.
Chen Zixin smiled and hugged the two of them tightly as they fell asleep. Chen Qiao 'en and Reba also smiled blissfully as they hugged Chen Zixin and fell asleep.
At 6:30 in the morning, Chen Zixin went to the kitchen of the mushroom house to make breakfast after he finished exercising, showered, and changed his clothes. Just as he finished making a sumptuous breakfast, his phone rang. He took out his phone and saw that it was a call from the hospital. He quickly picked it up and said," Hey, does Martial Nephew have a patient?"
" Uncle-Master, come to the military hospital. There's a baby whose windpipe is blocked by a foreign object. We can't operate on him. I'm afraid I'll use too much force when I perform acupuncture."
" I got it. I'll set off immediately." Chen Zixin hung up the phone and took out a pen and paper to leave a message. He ran home, took the medicine box, and took out the car keys from the mushroom house. He quickly started the car and drove away.
When Huang Lei and the others came back from their run at seven o'clock, Huang Lei saw the note on the table and walked over to take it." This child really has a hard life. He went to the hospital to save people again. You guys go take a shower first. I'll keep the food that Zixin made warm. Brother Cheng Long and the others will be here soon."
He Jiong and the others nodded and went to take a shower. Huang Lei walked into the kitchen and watched as the food in the pot was heated. After a while, He Jiong and the others came out of the shower and asked, Teacher Huang, do you need help?"
" No need. Zixin has already made breakfast. It's enough to keep it warm. Teacher He will bring them to clean up the house. When Brother Cheng Long and the others come over later, don't let them see the house in a mess," Huang Lei said.
He Jiong said," I'll take them to clean up the house. I don't know when Zixin will be back. You can cook lunch and I'll help you."
Huang Lei nodded. He Jiong brought the few of them into the house and began to clean up. After a while, there was a knock on the door of the mushroom house. Huang Lei got up and went to open the door. When she opened the door, she saw the two people outside and said," Zhengzi, Yanhui came so early."
" Haha, I heard from Zixin that I'm coming over for breakfast, so I had to come earlier," Xu Zheng said.
" Come, come, come in. Let me tell you that Brother Cheng Long, Teacher Zhang Guoli, and Teacher Zeng Zhiwei will be coming over as guests today," Huang Lei said as she welcomed the two of them in.
" Mmm, your Mushroom Hut is rich now. It's quite impressive that you can invite Big Brother Cheng Long and the other two," Xu Zheng said.
Big Brother Cheng Long and the others came because of Zixin. The three of them only accepted the price as a token of friendship."
Why is Zixin so close to Yang and the others?"
" Eldest Brother and Zixin met during the Ya 'an earthquake and disaster relief. The two of them have a good relationship and can joke around. Eldest Brother knows Zixin quite well and thinks highly of him. He even wants Zixin to sit beside him during meals."
"Aiyo! " The Ya 'an earthquake happened seven years ago. Zixin was 17 years old when he saved people in the earthquake. That's amazing. Oh right, I didn't make it in time when he went to fight the flood last time. I saw on the news that he soaked in the flood for six to seven hours. How was his health?"
" What could have happened to him? His body is better than anyone else's. It's just perfect."
Xu Zheng nodded in relief. At this moment, He Jiong and the others came out after cleaning up the house. He Jiong saw the two of them and teased," Teacher Xu, Teacher Wang, how could you bear to come so early today!"
" Aren't you here to eat your newly made breakfast?" Xu Zheng said.
" Haha, then you can't eat it. Zixin went to the hospital to save someone. We have to make it ourselves," He Jiong said.
"Ah, he went to save people. We can't delay him from saving people. If you want to make breakfast yourself, then make breakfast yourself! Teacher Huang, why don't you have scallion noodles in the morning?"
" If you want to eat, you can eat, but I won't eat. I'll eat my family's new breakfast," Huang Lei said.
" Didn't Zixin go to the hospital to save someone? You still want to wait for him to come back to cook? Who are you?"
" Tsk, Zixin made breakfast early in the morning. He drove away before he could eat. The food is kept warm in the pot. We'll eat when Brother Cheng Long and the other two come over," Huang Lei said.
Xu Zheng nodded in relief. Huang Lei said, Peng Peng, when Big Brother Cheng Long and the others come over later, keep your eyes open and have a good eye. I'll make tea, and you'll be in charge of pouring and serving tea. This is what your brother asked you to do.
" Ah, I don't know how to pour tea. I'm afraid I'll make mistakes easily when I'm nervous," Peng Peng said.
" No, go and take out my tea set from the room. I'll teach you. Otherwise, how could you leave an impression on Brother Cheng Long and the others? Do you think your brother would invite the three of them over for no reason? He's just asking you and your sister to learn more. Go quickly," Huang Lei said.
Peng Peng quickly entered the house and brought the tea set over. Xu Zheng said, It looks like Zixin wants Peng Peng and Sister to learn from him so that Brother Cheng Long and the others will have an impression of them. Zixin is really scheming. Peng Peng, Sister, the two of you have acknowledged a good brother. Don't waste this opportunity to learn.
Peng Peng and his sister nodded seriously. He Jiong said," Zixin's business is very shrewd. He doesn't want to suffer losses. Brother Hu is the only person in the world who can make Zixin lose money and earn money."
" The relationship between the two brothers is very pure. There's not a single impurity in it. I heard that Brother Hu's Dragon-Seeking Art broke the one billion box office. He's making a lot of money this time," Xu Zheng said.
" Haha, if we go to France to play, Brother Hu will have to spend a lot of money. Let him express his gratitude to us," He Jiong said with a laugh.
" Then Brother Hu will definitely have to spend a lot of money. Otherwise, wouldn't our trip to the premiere be in vain?" Huang Lei said.
Xu Zheng and the others nodded. At this moment, someone knocked on the door of the mushroom house and a voice came from the door. Zixin, open the door. I'm here to eat and work."
" They're here, they're here." He Jiong hurriedly ran over to open the door." Welcome, Big Brother Cheng Long, Teacher Guo Li, and Brother Zhiwei to Mushroom Hut."
" He Jiong, long time no see. Your face is glowing. Did you eat Zixin's cooking all day?" Zhang Guoli teased.
He Jiong laughed and invited the three of them in. Huang Lei and the others applauded and welcomed them. Cheng Long and the others smiled and greeted them. Huang Lei gave Peng Peng a look. Peng Peng understood and immediately pulled the luggage in. Huang Lei arranged for the three of them to sit down and said, Big Brother, Teacher Guo Li, Brother Zhiwei isn't home today, so we'll just have a casual lunch. I'll get Zixin to cook dinner tonight."
" Not at home. I called him last night. Where did he go?" Cheng Long said.
" He went to the hospital to treat a patient. He made breakfast early in the morning and went to the hospital before he could eat," Huang Lei explained.
" Oh, then saving people is more important. I've seen Zixin's medical skills before. He's very good at it. I haven't been sick in the past few years because Zixin has been treating me. He even gave me some herbal recipes and taught me the Five Animal Frolics, so I'm very healthy now. It's all thanks to Zixin. Guo Li, Zhiwei, wait for Zixin to come back. The two of you can get Zixin to check your pulse and let him treat you," Cheng Long said.
"Aiyo! " Zixin even knows Chinese medicine? That's amazing. How good is his medical skills?" Zeng Zhiwei asked.
" I don't know how good it is. The hidden injuries that I've suffered from filming for so many years were all cured by Zixin's medicinal bath. Hua Zai's body has seen many doctors, but none of them were of any use. It was Zixin who cured him. Now, Hua Zai's body is very healthy. He eats the medicinal food and medicinal wine Zixin made for him every day," Cheng Long said.
"Aiya! "Then we have to let him take a good look at our bodies. Huang Lei, bring out the food. After dinner, we have to help Zixin pick fruits and make wine. I've already planned to make a few jars of wine myself and write my name on them. When the wine is ready, I'll ask Zixin to send it to us," Zhang Guoli said.
" Okay, okay, okay. Peng Peng, hurry up and bring the rice out. Your brother has already kept the rice in the pot. Just bring it out directly," Huang Lei said.
Peng Peng nodded and went to the kitchen to get food. Cheng Long said, Zixin's little brother is quite observant. Not bad, he knows how to work."
" Haha, it's all because of Zixin's guidance. Big Brother wasn't home this morning, or else I would have asked his precious tea set to make tea for you," Huang Lei said proudly.
" Precious tea set? What kind of tea set is so precious?" Zeng Zhiwei asked.
" Is a tea set made from top-grade azure clay a treasure?"
"Aiyaya! That was really a treasure! "There's a price but no market. Even if you have money, you might not be able to buy it. It's a pity that Zixin isn't at home. Otherwise, you would have been able to see him," Zhang Guoli said.
" It's fine. I'll get him to make some tea when he comes back. Big Brother, Teacher Guoli, Brother Zhiwei, smell it. This is Zixin's collection of good tea leaves. Let's see if the three of you can tell me," Huang Lei said as she handed over the tea can.
Cheng Long and the other two took it over and took a look at it before smelling it seriously. Zhang Guoli said," If I'm not wrong, this should be Niulankeng's best quality Cassia. This tea can be sold for tens of thousands per catty. Sometimes, you might not even be able to buy it with money. Zixin actually has this kind of tea. It seems like he has a good relationship with you. He's actually willing to give you so many tea leaves. You've really profited."
" Haha, I got it because I was thick-skinned. If I can make Zixin take the initiative to take out the tea leaves, it's definitely Brother Hu," Huang Lei said with a laugh.
Peng Peng smiled and brought out the food. My brother made roujiamo and meatball spicy soup. The aroma of the roujiamo is even better than the last time. Did my brother add some seasonings?
"Roujiamo, spicy soup, aiyo! " I haven't eaten it for many years. Zixin must have seen me coming and specially made it for me. I've lived in Chang 'an for quite some time," Zhang Guoli said smugly.
" Tsk, when I first met Zixin, he made this dish. He obviously saw that I was here, so he made it. You guys are all basking in my glory. Otherwise, you guys would have been able to eat Zixin's unique roujiamo recipe. I won't talk to you guys anymore. I have to eat more." Cheng Long picked up a roujiamo and started eating with a bowl of spicy soup.
Zhang Guoli, Zeng Zhiwei, Huang Lei, and the others were dumbfounded. They were stunned for a moment and immediately rushed to eat. Soon, everyone finished the meal with satisfaction. After sitting comfortably for a while, they sent Teng Huatao, Lu Han, and Wang Likun away. Chen He was thick-skinned enough to stay and eat the newly made food.
Huang Lei smiled and brewed a pot of tea. Peng Peng respectfully handed the tea to Cheng Long and the others with both hands. Zhang Guoli and Zeng Zhiwei said with satisfaction," Peng Peng, learn well from your brother. He has endless skills. Come with us today and work with us and chat with us."
" Peng Peng, hurry up and thank Teacher Guo Li and Brother Zhiwei. This is a good opportunity," Huang Lei urged.
" Thank you, Mr. Guoli and Mr. Zhiwei. As long as you don't mind me being clumsy, I'm willing to work and chat with you," Peng Peng said excitedly.
Zhang Guoli and Zeng Zhiwei smiled and nodded. Cheng Long said, Younger Sister, follow me today and help me pick some fruits so that your brother can make wine for me."
" Thank you, Teacher Cheng Long. I'll definitely work behind you and pick the fruits," the younger sister said happily.
"Hey, is anyone here? "We're here as guests." Two female voices sounded from outside the door.
Peng Peng quickly opened the door and was pleasantly surprised. Sister Qiwei, Sister Yaya, why are you two here?"
" Peng Peng, are you surprised? Are you surprised?" Tong Liya said playfully.
" It's a pleasant surprise. Mr. Cheng Long, Mr. Guo Li, and Mr. Zhi Wei are all guests. Please come in," Peng Peng said.
The two of them hurriedly walked in when they heard that. Peng Peng pulled their suitcases in. Qi Wei and Tong Liya quickly went forward to greet them. He Jiong smiled and asked, Ya Ya, did Brother Hu capture you this time?"
" No, I'm here as a guest to accompany my best friend, Sister Qi Wei," Tong Liya said.
" Yaya, your movie broke one billion. You have to show some appreciation," Huang Lei said with a smile.
" Yes, yes, yes. We have to express our gratitude," He Jiong said.
" I haven't received any money yet. I'll only get a bonus after the movie stops screening. If you want to talk about it, you'll have to ask Zixin for it. He wrote the script, arranged the special effects, costumes, and props, so he's the one who gets the biggest share. You can ask him for it."
" Ask him for it. You know how stingy he is. Asking him for money is equivalent to asking for his life. All his money is with his wife. Where can he find money?" Xu Zheng said.
" What? Zixin knows how to write scripts?" Wang Yanhui asked.
" He knows how to write. He's really good at it. He wrote the script for the popular Dragon-Seeking Manual. He also wrote a script for Brother Hua and Brother Xing. The script I'm studying every day was written by him. It's very well written. I can't stop reading it," Xu Zheng said.
"Zixin's script is pretty good, but I'm afraid you don't know yet! "The Legend that I filmed and released in 2008 was written by Zixin, including the song," Cheng Long said.
" What? The Myths was also written by Zixin? In 2008, you already knew Zixin," He Jiong asked.
"I didn't know Zixin at that time, but the script was written by Brother Hu. One time, Brother Hu invited me to visit Zixin's house in Hengdian. Zixin was already in the army at that time, and Brother Hu happened to find a script for a movie while cleaning up his study. I was fascinated when I saw it, so I asked Brother Hu who wrote it. Brother Hu told me that it was written by Zixin. Later, I asked Brother Hu to call Zixin, who was in the army, and told him that I wanted the script. Zixin said that he would give it to Brother Hu to handle, and he didn't care about it. Brother Hu gave me the script, and I started filming. Later, when I was the executive producer of the mythical drama, I immediately chose Brother Hu as the male lead and no one else because I thought Brother Hu could play the male lead well. Part of the reason was also because of Zixin. Later, during the Ya 'an earthquake, I got to know Zixin. Then, I found out that Zixin was a nameless young master. From then on, our relationship became very good. Although Zixin did not join the entertainment industry,"But he's everywhere in the entertainment industry. Many directors want to buy the novels he wrote to shoot," Cheng Long said.
" Zixin is very strict with his novels. He recently published The Return of the Condor Heroes and The Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre. If the readers aren't satisfied, he'll just destroy it and won't make it into a TV series," He Jiong said seriously.
Cheng Long nodded. Huang Lei said," It's getting late. Let's eat dumplings for lunch. Why don't we compete to see who makes better dumplings?"
"Alright! "I've made dumplings before. Who's going to be the judge?" Zhang Guoli asked.
" Huang Lei definitely can't do it. If Zixin comes back, he can't be a judge either. He'll definitely say that his wife's buns are beautiful. How about this? I'll be the judge and I'll be in charge of eating," Cheng Long said.
Big Brother, how can I let you do such heavy work? Leave the food to me!" Zeng Zhiwei said.
" Brother, I'm good at eating. I've eaten dumplings from many places. I'm sure I can be the judge," Zhang Guoli said.
Huang Lei and the others laughed as they watched the three of them tease. He Jiong laughed and said," Big Brother, how about we let Younger Sister be the judge? Younger Sister won't side with anyone. She can do it."
" Alright, let your sister be the judge. I'm very close to your brother. You have to look carefully," Cheng Long said with a smile.
The younger sister nodded with a smile. Zhang Guoli and Zeng Zhiwei were speechless. Huang Lei smiled and brought out the glutinous rice and zongye. The younger sister acted as the judge. Huang Lei and the others chatted and laughed as they wrapped the zongzi. When Zhang Guoli saw the zongzi that Cheng Long made, he laughed and said, Brother, are you making dumplings or dumplings? You can't make dumplings like that."
"This is my unique dumpling. It's my own creation. Huang Lei will cook this dumpling for me later. "I have to try the dumplings I made myself," Cheng Long said.
" Brother, if you put this dumpling into the pot, it might fall apart. You have to use cotton thread to wrap it tightly so that the rice can't be exposed at both ends," Huang Lei said as she operated.
" Brother, your kung fu is good. What's with this dumpling? Come, take a look at the dumplings I made," Zeng Zhiwei said as he picked up the dumplings.
Everyone laughed when they saw this. Cheng Long said, Are you making dumplings or buns? Why are they round?"
"Zhiwei! "Look at you, you're so stupid. You have to make a triangle shape to wrap the dumplings. This is a barbecued pork bun," Zhang Guoli teased.
" This is called barbecued pork dumplings. It's my original creation. I'll eat this for lunch. I'll leave a mark."
Everyone smiled and continued to wrap the dumplings. Huang Lei looked at the hot dumplings and said,"Hot! "You have to learn how to make dumplings. You can't always let Zixin do it. If you get married in the future and Zixin goes out to run errands, do you still have to order takeout for your meals? Although Zixin promised to cook for you for the rest of your life, you still have to learn how to do housework."
" Yeah, I'll definitely study hard," Reba said.
" Here's the sharpening scissors! Clang! Kitchen knife! Brother, your precious brother and sister are here! Come out and welcome them!" Brother Hu shouted from outside the door.
Brother Hu, your precious brother isn't home. You and Jianing can come in yourself!" He Jiong said with a smile.
"Alright! "Then I'll come in," Brother Hu said as he walked into the mushroom house with Jianing. When he saw Cheng Long and the others sitting in the pavilion, he quickly went up to greet them. Cheng Long smiled and said, Brother Hu, why is Jianing looking for your baby brother?"
" Big Brother, only Brother Hu can call you 'baby brother'. I don't dare to call you that. If I do, people will get jealous," Jianing teased.
Huang Lei and the others smiled. Brother Hu said happily with an indifferent expression,"Hey! What could happen to me? Don't I miss my baby brother? "I came to take a look and congratulate him on winning the Galaxy Award," Brother Hu said.
" Galaxy Prize? What book did he write?" Zhang Guoli asked.
He wrote it and got it from wandering around Earth."
Wasn't the Wandering Earth written by Young Master Yu?" Qi Wei asked.
" Young Master Yu is Zixin, and Zixin is Young Master Yu. Not only did he win the Galaxy Award, but his three-body novel also won the Hugo Award and the Nebula Award. On the 15th of this month, I'll go to France in his place to receive the award," Brother Hu explained.
" Aiyo, Zixin is really amazing. He actually won such a high award. Amazing, amazing."
"That's not right! "Then why didn't he tell me?" Cheng Long asked.
" Brother, you might not know this, but my baby brother is different from others. Other people would do anything to become famous, but he likes to keep the less the winners know about him, the better. He doesn't like to be in the limelight. Otherwise, he wouldn't have sent the Nebula Awards and Galaxy Awards trophies over, and he wouldn't have asked me to go to the Hugo Awards in his place," Brother Hu explained.
" Oh, Zixin likes quiet and doesn't like people disturbing his life. Alright, I got it. I won't tell anyone," Cheng Long said.
" Sigh, we'll definitely drop drastically when Brother Hu comes. Zixin only has eyes for his precious brother when he comes back. Let's see if we can eat something good today on Brother Hu's account," Huang Lei said.
" Haha, sure. I'll get my brother to make something delicious tonight," Brother Hu said with a smile.
Cheng Long and the others smiled. At this moment, the sound of a car engine came from the door. Brother Hu smiled and said, I want to hug my baby brother, don't disturb us."
The people in the mushroom house laughed loudly. Chen Zixin walked in with a medicine box on his back and said to Brother Hu,""Yo! "Baby brother is here. Come, let's hug." After saying that, she jumped into Brother Hu's arms and hugged him. Brother Hu also hugged her dotingly.
Jianing coughed and said,"I say, how long are you two going to hug? Can't you see that there are so many people here?"
"Aiya! "Why does my sister like to spoil the mood so much? What's wrong with me hugging my brother for a while? All I know is to ruin things," Chen Zixin complained.
" You only know how to ruin the atmosphere. My brother and I haven't seen each other for a day, and it feels like three years. What's wrong with hugging for a while? You're jealous," Brother Hu said.
" I'm jealous. How would I dare to be jealous? Hurry up and put your brother down so he can rest," Jianing said.
Brother Hu immediately put Chen Zixin down after hearing that. Chen Zixin also smiled and greeted the guests. Huang Lei asked Chen Zixin to sit down and asked," Zixin, you saved the patient quite quickly today. Is the patient serious?"
" It's a little boy who's four or five years old. His parents didn't break the food that he was fed, and the food got stuck in his windpipe. He couldn't use a bronchoscope or open his windpipe, so my martial nephew called me and asked me to save him," Chen Zixin said.
" Oh, that's quite troublesome. You have to break up the child's food. The child's esophagus and trachea are relatively small, so it's easy to get food stuck. You have to be careful when feeding him," Huang Lei said.
Chen Zixin nodded and changed the topic."" We'll have rice dumplings for lunch, egg dumplings and fried rice cakes for dinner, Guoli's Gluten, Zhiwei's Pineapple Sweet Pork, Xu's Braised Bamboo Shoots, Wang's Soft Eel, Qi Wei's Spiced Smoked Fish, and Yaya's Spicy Crayfish Noodles and Sibo Stewed Meatballs. My brother and sister are here. I'll go catch snakes in the afternoon and make a flavored snake for my brother, and my sister will make her a Pork Bun and a Peacock Spreading Tail Salad. A total of twelve dishes is enough."
" What dish is Peacock Spreads Its Tail?" He Jiong asked.
" Actually, it's just a salad dish that looks like a peacock spreading its tail. It's just a nice name. I'll cook alone tonight. Uncle, bring them to work and pick fruits. I want to make wine. I'll make some fruits for you guys in the afternoon," Chen Zixin said.
"We'll pick fruits and come back. You can make fruits for us. Can't we just eat them? Why is it so complicated? He Jiong said.
" Heaven's secrets can't be revealed. Only my brother and the higher-ups have eaten this before. No one else has seen it before."
Huang Lei and the others looked at Brother Hu blankly. Brother Hu smiled and said," I'll just let Zixin keep you in suspense. You'll find out in the afternoon that this thing is really delicious. This is Zixin's trump card. I'll leave you guys in suspense so you can have some anticipation."
Huang Lei and the others nodded in confusion. Chen Zixin returned the medicine box and sat down to wrap the dumplings." Brother, Sister, you two don't come to me for no reason. Just say what you have to say!"
" Hehe, you're so smart, bro. I'll get straight to the point then. The 24th of this month is the Huabiao Awards ceremony. My first film has been nominated," Brother Hu said.
" You don't have to say anymore. I know. You wanted me to attend the event, but you were afraid that I wouldn't go, so you asked my sister to come over too. We'll talk after we take out the things."
"Brother, you're really smart. Here, this is your precious erhu. I specially went to Hengdian's house to pack it up and deliver it personally. "Are you willing to say something?" Jianing said as he handed the erhu over.
Chen Zixin took the erhu and said," The 24th is fine. Where is it held?"
" At the Yanqi Lake International Convention and Exhibition Center in Beijing."
Alright, I can go. I'll go to my uncle's house for dinner and take a look at my master's house."
" Your auntie will personally clean the place where your master and you live every month. There's no problem. Since you're going, go home and eat. I'll cook for you," Huang Lei said.
" I'm not wearing a suit. If you don't agree, I won't go," Chen Zixin said.
" As long as you go, I won't let you wear a suit. You'll wear a Tang suit," Brother Hu said.
Chen Zixin nodded and put down the erhu. He continued to wrap the dumplings and complained,"" Brother, I can't say anything about you. You lost a bet with me last time and I thought you would buy me some good tea leaves, but you actually repackaged my collection and sent it to me. You're even more stingy than me."
" Do you want it or not? If not, I'll take it back. Your tea leaves can only be found by chance. If you weren't my brother, would I have taken it out?"
"What the hell is this? That tea leaf was from my collection. What do you mean you took it out? You're so thick-skinned."
" Tsk, isn't your tea mine? Isn't your money my money? Other than my wife, isn't everyone in our family split equally?" Brother Hu said indifferently.
Chen Zixin was speechless after hearing that. He shook his head and continued to wrap the dumplings. Huang Lei asked curiously, Brother Hu, what kind of good tea leaves did Zixin collect? It's hard to come by."
"Him! " The collection is an old premium Tieguanyin. It's 20 years old. Don't you think it's hard to come by?" Brother Hu said.
"Aiya! " That's a rare tea leaf. It can be used as medicine to treat colds and digestive problems. It can also lower blood fat and blood pressure. Zixin, where did you get such good tea leaves? Many tea lovers want to collect them," Zhang Guoli said.
" When I was four years old, I went to Anxi with my master to personally pick and stir-fry them. I've used a special method to preserve them for twenty years. If Teacher Guo Li wants them, I can give you a pound," Chen Zixin said.
" One catty? You're too generous. I'll accept it reluctantly. You're too polite. You can't give me one catty next time. Just eight or ten catty will do," Zhang Guoli said awkwardly.
" Haha, Teacher Guo Li, you're so cute. You're even saying that it's only about 10 pounds. Zixin, just give me two pounds. No more. I can accept it even if it's too much," Huang Lei said shamelessly.
" Zixin, just give me a pound," Zeng Zhiwei said.
" Zixin, I want one catty," Cheng Long said.
" Zixin, give me a pound," Xu Zheng said.
" Zixin, give me a pound too," Wang Yanhui said.
“………”。
Chen Zixin blinked and gritted his teeth. Alright, I'll give each of you a catty, but only one catty. I'll keep the rest for myself."
" Sure, one catty it is. You can keep the rest for yourself," Huang Lei said.
Chen Zixin nodded and said," I'm done wrapping the dumplings. I'll go cook them. Peng Peng, come and start the fire." After saying that, Chen Zixin carried the dumplings into the kitchen. Peng Peng responded and quickly went over to sit down and start the fire.
Cheng Long looked at the erhu on the ground and asked, Brother Hu, why is Zixin's erhu so precious to him?"
" This erhu is made of old mahogany from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. He made it himself. There's no market for it. Do you want to take a look?" Brother Hu said.
" It's an old mahogany from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It's hundreds of years old. It's a treasure. I have to take a look. Sister, go get a few pairs of white gloves. We can't touch them directly because our hands are sweaty," Zhang Guoli said.
The younger sister nodded and went into the house to take out a few pairs of white gloves. Zhang Guoli and the others put on the gloves. Brother Hu smiled and put on the gloves to open the bag. He took out the red, shiny erhu and showed it to everyone. Zhang Guoli held the erhu and looked at it seriously." This is indeed a treasure. This mahogany is probably more than 500 years old, so its value is immeasurable. I have a suggestion. How about you guys get Zixin to play a song for me with this erhu after we eat?"
"Alright! "I really want to hear Zixin play the erhu," Wang Yanhui said.
" Brother Hu, don't you think Zixin is going to attend the Huabiao Awards? We're going too. Can Zixin perform at the gala? He can play the piano or the guzheng," Cheng Long suggested.
I'll discuss this with him. He hasn't performed in front of so many people before, so I'm afraid he'll be nervous. Also, will the organizing committee agree? Brother Hu said.
" I'll take care of this. I'm the host. I'll take care of it," Zhang Guoli said.
Brother Hu nodded. At this moment, Chen Zixin and Peng Peng came out with dumplings and said, It's time to eat the dumplings. They're just out of the pot. Eat them while they're hot."
Huang Lei quickly called everyone to sit down and eat the dumplings. Brother Hu ate the dumplings and said, Brother, can I discuss something with you?"
"I heard everything. Didn't you just want me to perform at the Huabiao Awards Gala? "Sure, but I have a condition," Chen Zixin said.
"Your ears are sharp enough. Tell me! What conditions?"
Five catties of oranges and five catties of spicy tripe. Otherwise, I won't do it."
" Hai, I don't think you have any conditions. Fine, I'll buy you five catties of beef tripe and five catties of oranges. You can eat as much as you want," Brother Hu said with a smile.
Chen Zixin nodded happily. Zeng Zhiwei smiled and said," Zixin's hobby is quite special. He only acts when he eats oranges."
Chen Zixin smiled and said,"The first food I opened my mouth to eat was the oranges and tripe that my master fed me. So, I immediately fell in love with eating oranges and tripe."
" You don't like it. You're just missing the time when your master was around. Child, it's been so long. It's time to open up the knot in your heart," Huang Lei said with a sigh.
Chen Zixin nodded seriously and started to eat the dumplings in big mouthfuls. Brother Hu wanted to persuade him when he saw this, but Huang Lei shook her head to indicate that she didn't want to persuade him. Soon, everyone finished the meal. Chen Zixin wiped his mouth and said that he would go home to get the tea set before leaving the mushroom house. Huang Lei sighed when she saw him and said," This child still can't let go of the knot in his heart. What should he do in the future?"
" The knot in his heart. Didn't Zixin's knot get untied?" He Jiong asked.
Huang Lei gestured for the director to move the camera and recording away."What kind of knot is that? The real knot in Zixin's heart has never been opened. You all know that Zixin was picked up by his master at the village entrance and raised until he was ten years old. After his master passed away, he lived alone. However, you don't know that Zixin was abandoned on a snowy night. At that time, he only had a towel quilt and a jade pendant with him. His master came back from outside and heard the cries. He found Zixin. At that time, Zixin was almost frozen to death. It was elder brother who saved Zixin with medicinal bath and acupuncture."Zixin has always been weak and sickly since he was young, so he only recovered after taking medicine until he was ten. I didn't want Zixin to find his parents, and his master didn't want him to find his parents either. What's the use of having parents like that? Why would parents be so cruel to abandon their children in a snowy day? That's why elder brother taught Zixin so many skills. He just wanted to tell those who abandoned Zixin that Zixin is a dragon among men, not a bastard." Huang Lei cried after saying that.
He Jiong and the others were also in tears. Cheng Long's eyes were red as he said," This is the reason why Zixin can't get over it."
" Yeah, I don't want him to think about it. I don't want him to be famous or capable. He just needs to live happily. We're enough for him. Don't say anything about Zixin, or he'll vomit blood," Huang Lei said.
" Spitting blood? What's going on?" Brother Hu asked hurriedly.
" When my brother passed away, Zixin knelt in front of the grave for a day and a night before vomiting blood. The village chief was worried, so he went up the mountain to take a look and found that Zixin was already unconscious. He carried him home and slept for three days and three nights before Zixin woke up. If he knew about this, he would definitely vomit blood," Huang Lei said.
" Don't worry, we definitely won't say a word. Let him live happily. We're enough for him," Brother Hu and the others said as they wiped their tears.
Chen Zixin brought a tea set from home and picked two watermelons. He walked into the mushroom house and shouted,""Brother. I picked two watermelons for you to eat. Look at how good I am to you, and look at how stingy you are to me. Even an orange is pitifully small."
" Tsk, plucking two watermelons is already good for me. I bought the oranges and tripe at home. Now you're complaining about me. I've doted on you for nothing," Brother Hu complained.
" Fine, it's my fault. I'll get you some good wine to drink tonight. What do you think?" Chen Zixin said.
" That's more like it. What good wine can you bring out?" Brother Hu said with a smile.
"Didn't I go to the garrison when I attended the premiere in Shanghai? "I went to the old chief's place to get two bottles of Wuliang Liquor and two bottles of Chinese medicine red wine. What do you think?" Chen Zixin said.
" What Wuliang Ye? How old is it?" Huang Lei immediately shouted.
" Hehe, it's been 20 years. Do you want to drink it?" Chen Zixin chuckled.
" You brat, why didn't you bring out this good wine for me to drink earlier? You had to wait for your brother to come over before you could bring it out. I've doted on you for nothing when you were young," Huang Lei complained.
" That can't be helped. I'm his precious brother. If there's anything good, of course he'll save it for me. Haha, brother, take out two bottles of Wuliang Ye and drink them tonight," Brother Hu said.
"Huang Lei, Brother Hu, why are you so excited? " I've drunk Wuliang Ye for 20 years. There's nothing special about it," Zhang Guoli said.
" Teacher Guo Li, you're only drinking normal wine. Zixin's wine is specially provided by the military. It's not sold on the market at all. How can we not be excited?" Huang Lei said.
" Ah, it's specially provided by the army. I have to have a good taste tonight. I haven't had any wine specially provided by the army until now. I have to drink more tonight," Zhang Guoli said.
"Aiyo, damn! " Zixin, you're really close. You can get the military's special alcohol. I have to drink more tonight," Zeng Zhiwei said.
" Teacher Guoli, Teacher Zhiwei, the two of you can't drink white wine tonight. You can only drink medicinal wine. I'll take a look at your bodies tonight and give you some prescriptions to recuperate. Then, I'll take you to the hot spring," Chen Zixin said.
" Ah, we can't drink. Aren't you torturing us?" Zhang Guoli said.
" Don't worry. I'll let you guys drink some good wine tonight. This wine is very good for your health. Moreover, it's 20 years old," Chen Zixin said.
" Aiyo, it's 20 years old. We can drink more then," Zeng Zhiwei said with a smile.
Chen Zixin smiled and sat down to make tea. After a set of tea animals, he said,"" Peng Peng, Sister, serve some tea."
Peng Peng and his sister quickly went forward to serve everyone tea. Chen Zixin nodded in satisfaction and drank the tea. Everyone took a sip and praised," Good tea, it's really good tea. This 20-year-old Tie Guanyin tastes really good."
" This is my first time drinking tea with this azure clay tea set," Zhang Guoli said with a smile.
Everyone laughed and finished a pot of tea. Huang Lei said," Zixin, use your erhu to play a song for us. How about it?"
" I can play a song, but I'll play something new for you guys today," Chen Zixin said.
" New trick. What song do you want to play?" He Jiong asked.
" Didn't I use the guzheng to play five thousand flickering candles? Today, I'll let you listen to the erhu version." Chen Zixin picked up the erhu and tested the sound. His expression changed and he began to play seriously." Oh my god, I didn't expect that you could play the erhu so well. It's so entrancing."
After Chen Zixin finished playing the song, Huang Lei and the others, as well as Cheng Long and the others, were stunned for a moment and immediately clapped. Huang Lei smiled and said,"Aiya! I didn't expect the erhu to be able to play this song so well. It's on par with the guzheng."
" Indeed. Guzheng and erhu are two different realms. They have two different styles that can bring people in," Zhang Guoli said.
Brother Hu asked,"Brother, what other instruments can you use to play this song?"
" You can use the flute, pipa, piano, vertical flute, and violin," Chen Zixin said.
" The violin. You know how to play the violin," He Jiong asked.
" He can play the violin. He got a Level 10 certificate when he was eight," Huang Lei said.
" Why didn't I know I got the violin exam certificate? I remember I didn't take the exam!" Chen Zixin asked blankly.
" If you knew, you'd still go for the exam. Do you remember when you were eight years old, me, your aunt, and your teacher took you to an empty room in school and said that we wanted you to practice the violin? Actually, that was an exam. The invigilator and the judges were just outside listening to you play the violin," Huang Lei said.
" D * mn, the three of you tricked me into taking the exam just like that. I was wondering why the three of you were so kind as to bring me to climb the Great Wall and see the Forbidden City. So you were just tricking me into taking the exam. Why didn't I see the certificate?"
That was for your own good. Aren't you afraid of exams? " That's why I can only use this trick. Your certificate has always been at my house. If you see it, you'll tear it up," Huang Lei said with a fierce face.
" Alright, the three of you must have put in a lot of effort for my exam. I'll make more flavored snakes tonight," Chen Zixin said.
" Mm, that's more like it. It's not even 1:00 a. m. yet. Hurry up and go up the mountain to catch the snake," Huang Lei urged.
Chen Zixin took the erhu and left the mushroom house. He Jiong asked," Are we resting or playing for a while?"
"Rest! "I have to help Zixin in the afternoon. I'll also take a look at how the peacock spreads its tail and the fruits are made. This kid gives Brother Hu whatever delicious food he has. I'm still his uncle, but he treats me like this," Huang Lei said gloomily.
"That's because we have no choice! "It's my fault for being so charming. My baby brother likes to cook for me. Otherwise, the password to the wine cellar and garage in his manor is my birthday. You can't compare to that," Brother Hu said smugly.
" Tsk, I have to drink enough of his wine this time. This kid is too much. He doesn't dare to go to France with us. It would be great if we went together," Huang Lei said.
" Huang Lei, you said Zixin has a manor. Where is it?" Cheng Long asked.
" There's a manor in France that he gave to a noble family's daughter after he cured her. The family wanted to marry their daughter to him, but his master didn't allow him to marry a foreign woman. He didn't like it either, so they didn't succeed. They gave him a manor and a winery as compensation. Brother Hu will go to receive the award on his behalf on the 15th. We'll go and have some fun. Brother, Teacher Guo Li, do you want to go with Brother Zhiwei? Brother Hua and Brother Xing will go too. You don't have to pay for it." Zixin covered all our expenses," Huang Lei said.
"That's amazing! " I'll go. I don't have much work on the 15th of this month, so I'll go and have some fun. I'll also take a look at what the Hugo Awards look like," Cheng Long said.
" Since Zixin has already paid for it, we can't refuse. We just want to see what the Hugo Award looks like. This is the first person in our country to win the Hugo Award," Zhang Guoli and Zeng Zhiwei said.
Reba laughed in his heart,"If they knew that Little Wolf was going to France, what would their expressions be like? Just thinking about it makes me excited." As he thought about it, he laughed out loud." Reba, what are you thinking about? Why are you so happy?"
" Nothing. I'm just looking forward to the fruit Little Wolf will make. What ingredients will he use to make the fruit?" Reba said.
" I'm looking forward to it too. Brother Hu, what ingredients does Zixin use to make fruits?" He Jiong asked.
"I can't say that for the time being. I can only tell you that this person who has been to the state banquet is amazing! "I haven't eaten this thing in a long time. I'm the first one to eat it. Zixin spent three months researching this thing," Brother Hu said with a smile.
" It took three months to research it. It must be something good. I'm really looking forward to it. I'll go back to my room to rest first and work in the afternoon." Cheng Long said and went into the house to rest. Huang Lei also brought everyone into the house to rest. Reba, Chen Qiaoen, and Tong Liya came to Chen Zixin's study. When they saw that Chen Zixin was not at home, they closed the door and said,""Hubby is really pitiful. Let's spend more time with him in the future! He really needs company."
"Yeah! "He needs company too much. He has suffered so much and suffered so much. When we finish work in the future, if there's nothing else, we'll go home to accompany him," Chen Qiaoen said.
Reba and Tong Liya nodded. The three of them lay on the bed and rested. Chen Zixin caught three snake meat from the mountain and returned to the mushroom house to start cleaning up. After cleaning up the snake meat, he washed his hands and went to the kitchen to take out the fruits he had picked from the mountain. He started squeezing the juice and kneading the dough. He kneaded it into a ball, shaped it into shape, colored it, carved it, and then put it into the pot to steam it. Chen Zixin sat on the chair and started the fire. At this moment, Huang Lei got up to drink some water. When she smelled the fragrance, she walked into the kitchen and asked, Zixin, what delicious food are you cooking now?"
"Didn't you say that I would make fruits for you? "It's almost done. Uncle, wake them up and come over to eat," Chen Zixin said.
Huang Lei walked into the house excitedly and woke them up. Chen Zixin also called Reba, Chen Qiaoen, and Tong Liya to get up and come over to eat. A large group of people in the mushroom house sat in the pavilion and stared straight at the kitchen, looking forward to the delicious food in their hearts. Chen Zixin smiled when he saw it. He got up, opened the lid of the pot, took a look, picked up the fruit, put it on a plate, and placed it on the table. Cheng Long saw it and smiled." If you want us to eat fruits, you're cooking fruits for us to eat. I know how to do this. How did you spend three months researching this?"
" Teacher Cheng Long, you'll know if it's a fruit after you eat one," Chen Zixin said with a smile.
Cheng Long took a green apple and took a bite. He said in surprise,"Oh my god! This is a fruit made from flour. It tastes like an apple. Your fruit is made like a real fruit. Even the texture of the apple is the same. Amazing!
" What? This is a fruit made from noodles? No matter how I look at it, it looks like a real fruit. These hands are really skillful. I have to take a photo and post it in the group," Zhang Guoli said.
" I'll send it to Huang Bode to show off and make him envious," Xu Zheng said.
" I'll send it to Hong Lei to make him jealous," Huang Lei said.
" I'll send it to her so that she'll drool," He Jiong said.
" I'll send a video to Hua Zai and Xing Zai to let them have a good time." Cheng Long said mischievously as he took out his phone to take a video and send it out.
Everyone laughed. Chen Zixin looked at the time and said,"" It's getting late. I'll go cook. Do you guys want rice or noodles for dinner?"
" Brother, make me a sesame seed cake. I want to eat it," the younger sister said.
" You haven't had enough of the shaobing," Chen Zixin asked.
" No, Brother He and Brother Peng Peng snatched a lot yesterday. I didn't eat much," his sister said.
If it wasn't for you two, you'd be too much. You're snatching the sesame seed cakes from your sister."
" Who asked you to make such delicious baked pancakes?" Chen He said.
" Alright, I'll make you a layer of crispy sesame seed cake tonight for you to eat to your heart's content." After saying that, Chen Zixin went to the kitchen to prepare the ingredients.
" Layer crisp sesame seed cake. Does our country have a sesame seed cake with this name?" He Jiong asked.
" I haven't heard of this pancake either. Have you eaten this pancake before, Brother Hu?" Huang Lei asked.
"Hehe, of course. I'm not the only one who's eaten it. Jianing, Yifei, Shishi, and Tangtang have all eaten this sesame seed cake. This sesame seed cake was made by Zixin by accident. It's very delicious and crispy. It's crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It'll crumble with a shake. After it's made, it'll be sealed and placed in the fridge for a week. After taking it out and spraying it with some water, it'll taste exactly the same as freshly made sesame seed cake. It'll crumble with a shake, hehe."I haven't eaten this sesame seed cake for a long time. You're so good, brother. I got something delicious as soon as I came," Brother Hu said proudly.
" Hearing you say that, I'm really looking forward to this sesame seed cake. I like to eat sesame seed cakes too. I'll leave early the day after tomorrow and ask Zixin to make more for me to bring back," Cheng Long said.
" I'll bring some back too," Zhang Guoli said.
" I'll bring a pot back to eat," Zeng Zhiwei said.
"Sigh! There was no way to compare! "When Brother Hu came, my status plummeted. I can only eat any good food when Brother Hu comes. This brat made him work by himself today. I won't help him. I'll go out and play," Huang Lei said resentfully.
" Haha, Teacher Huang is jealous," He Jiong said with a smile.
"Uncle, if you want to go out and play, then go out and play! "Go to the island and pick some fruits. I'll teach you how to make waxberry wine and grape wine. Also, go to the wine cellar and get two jars of osmanthus wine," Chen Zixin said as he walked out.
" Alright, I'll take them to the island to pick fruits. I'll leave the cooking to you. I won't worry about it," Huang Lei said.
Chen Zixin nodded and went into the kitchen to continue working. Huang Lei said,"" Then I'll bring you guys to the island to play. The scenery there is very beautiful. You can fish and pick fruits to eat. When we get back, we'll get two jars of wine from Zixin's wine cellar."
" Let's go, let's go. I've wanted to drink for a long time. Let's go quickly," Cheng Long urged.
Huang Lei smiled and led everyone out of the mushroom house to the island to play. The director and cameraman also went to the island, leaving Chen Zixin alone in the kitchen to process the ingredients.
Time ticked by. When Huang Lei and He Jiong returned with a large group of people, it was already six o'clock in the evening. Chen Zixin had also finished preparing dinner and said," Peng Peng, sister, Chen He, come and serve the dishes. I'll go back and get the wine." After saying that, he went home to get the wine.
Peng Peng, his sister, and Chen He walked into the kitchen and began to bring out the dishes one by one and place them on the table. Cheng Long and the others saw the dishes on the table and said in surprise,"Wow! This was too fragrant! There are a total of 15 dishes. Apart from our 12 dishes, what are the other three dishes? Brother Hu, you eat the most newly made dishes. Sniff and see what these three dishes are.
I can't smell it. I don't have your nose, so I'd better open it and take a look." After Brother Hu said that, he opened the three lids and introduced them." These three dishes are all created by Zixin. This one with seven colors is called Seven Colored Rainbow, a cold dish. This one is called Orange Juice and Lotus Root Slices. I'm the only one who's eaten these dishes. This one with a panda pattern is called Panda Mapo Tofu."
"Aiyaya! Amazing! "Self-created dishes. I have to eat more today," Cheng Long said.
" This brat really gives you all the good food. He actually didn't make Rainbow and Panda Mapo Tofu for me," Huang Lei said.
" That's right. I'm his sister. If I only give it to his brother, I'll be pampering him for nothing," Jianing said bitterly.
" Alright, didn't I cook for you guys today? You're already so old, yet you're still jealous. Can't you see that my brother isn't saying anything?" Chen Zixin said as he walked in with a glass of wine.
" Nonsense, does he have the nerve to say it?" Huang Lei said.
" Alright then. I'll let my brother drink this tonight. I'm not giving it to you," Chen Zixin said.
" Why won't you let me drink? I'm your uncle," Huang Lei said.
" Tch, who asked you to talk about my precious brother? I'm angry," Chen Zixin said angrily.
"Yo yo yo! "He's protecting his brother so much that I'm getting goosebumps," He Jiong teased.
"Haha, Brother Hu! "Hurry up and coax your brother. Otherwise, I won't be able to drink tonight," Zhang Guoli said with a smile.
" Brother, that's enough. Come and sit down and eat," Brother Hu said with a doting smile.
Chen Zixin then happily walked over and placed the wine on the table. Teacher Guoli, Teacher Zhiwei, since the two of you can't drink white wine, drink this 20-year-old bamboo leaf green wine. This is not available on the market and is the only one."
" Aiya, a 20-year-old one. I have to drink more," Zhang Guoli said.
Chen Zixin smiled and handed the wine to Peng Peng. Peng Peng quickly went forward to pour wine for everyone. Huang Lei held the wine glass and said," Come, let's welcome Big Brother Cheng Long, Teacher Zhang Guoli, Teacher Zeng Zhiwei, Xu Zheng, Wang Yanhui, Qi Wei, and Tong Liya to our Mushroom Hut as guests. Cheers."
" Hey, why aren't Jianing and I welcome?" Brother Hu said with a smile.
" Tsk, you need to be welcomed when you come to your brother's house. Don't you come and go as you please?" He Jiong said.
" Yes, let's toast together," Brother Hu said with a smile.
Cheers."
Everyone drank a glass of wine and sat down to eat. Chen Zixin said," Director, there's your food and wine in the kitchen. Move a table and shoot after you're done eating."
" Thank you, Zixin. Come, everyone stop what you're doing and go to the kitchen to serve the dishes. You can start working after you've eaten and drunk your fill," the director shouted.
"Yo! "It's time to eat," the staff shouted happily as he went to the kitchen to serve the dishes.
" Zixin, how many dishes did you make in the afternoon? And the food for the director and the staff," Zeng Zhiwei asked.
" I made two portions of food so that everyone would have the energy to work after eating and drinking. We can't eat while they watch. That's impolite," Chen Zixin said.
Zixin's etiquette is pretty good!" Zhang Guoli said gratefully.
Chen Zixin smiled and changed the topic. Brother, I'm going to attend the Huabiao Awards. You don't have to pick me up at the airport; I'll drive there myself."
"Alright, do you know the way? "The capital now is different from when you were young," Brother Hu said.
I can find it. What time does it start?"
" Yes, the red carpet ceremony is from 6:20 pm to 7:50 pm, and the award ceremony is from 8:15 pm to 9 pm," Brother Hu said.
" It's alright. It doesn't clash with my schedule," Chen Zixin said.
Why do you have something to do? If you have something to do, you don't have to go."
" Nothing much. I just know that I don't have to go so early to play. I want to go to the Imperial Capital Film Academy to find someone to play Go," Chen Zixin said with a smirk.
" No way. When you were young, you came to school to play Go with me. To satisfy your addiction to Go, I got all the people in school who knew how to play Go to play with you. You didn't give them any face and defeated them all. You still want to torture them again," Huang Lei said.
"If you don't want to look for it, then don't look for it. I'll play by myself, okay? " I'll play with the endgame tonight," Chen Zixin said.
" It's up to you. As long as you don't ask me to play Go, you can play as you wish," Huang Lei said.
Chen Zixin smiled and ate the food in big mouthfuls. Not long after, the sumptuous dinner was finished. Cheng Long and the others sat on the chairs and sighed. I really ate to my heart's content today. I haven't eaten so much food in a long time. I've swept everything clean."
" Yeah, especially that Soft Pouch Eel. It's very delicious. I didn't expect to be able to eat the first dish of the founding of the country," Zhang Guoli said.
" It's really delicious. I've never eaten such tender eel," Wang Yanhui said.
" Taste Snake is delicious. I haven't had enough," Zeng Zhiwei said.
" Brother Zhiwei, don't say that you haven't eaten enough. Even I haven't eaten enough. It's all Zixin's fault for putting food in his brother's bowl. You're even more lovey-dovey than me eating you and Reba's lovey-dovey. Aren't you too nice to your brother?!" He Jiong complained.
" That can't be helped. He's my precious brother, so of course I'll give him all the good food. Qi Wei, I've made an extra portion of your five-spice smoked fish and put it in the fridge. Take it with you when you leave. Just heat it up at home. The taste won't change," Chen Zixin said.
" Thank you, thank you so much. I haven't eaten such authentic five-spice smoked fish in a long time," Qi Wei said happily.
" It's fine. I'll write down the cooking method and condiments for you later. You can take it home and let your husband learn it. It's not difficult to learn. If you have any questions, just give me a call," Chen Zixin said.
" That's great. I can eat this dish often now. I'm so excited," Qi smiled.
Chen Zixin smiled and said,"Brother, do you want to listen to me play the violin for a while before we go to the hot spring?"
" Okay, go get it. I'll wait to hear it," Brother Hu said excitedly.
