Dressed as a small unknown celebrity, he suddenly became popular after playing badly
Chapter 9 Master Class Cooking
The fourteen children worked extremely hard. It seemed as if children of this age had endless energy. In just over half an hour, they had picked a whole basket full of strawberries, while Jiang Yan and Zhuo Jiangxue, who were working alone, had only picked half of them.
Jiang Yan rubbed his sore arm, opened the thermos he carried with him and took a sip. He planned to keep his word and give them the lollipops and let them leave, but Xiao Huzi refused to accept them.
She wondered, "We agreed to give it to you once you filled a basket. Why don't you want it?"
Little Tiger was a smart kid. He pointed at the empty basket and said angrily, "The basket over there is clearly not full yet. Why don't you want our help? Are you looking down on us because we are just kids?"
It was really hard to understand the way a child thinks. Jiang Yan finally understood what he meant and lifted the candy wrapper in front of him. "Since Xiaohu is so loyal, I'll give you the candy first. Can we eat while we work?"
Little Tiger then stuffed the candy into his mouth with satisfaction, and distributed the remaining lollipops to other children, instructing them to finish all the candies before leaving, just like a real country bully.
Seeing how energetic they were, Zhuo Jiangxue also regained his strength and quickened his pace in picking strawberries.
The work that might have taken four or five hours to complete was completed in less than two hours by a dozen children and two adults. Jiang Yan asked the time and found that it was exactly eleven o'clock. She agreed with the children that she would buy them candy next time and sent them away.
The two of them hurried back to the yard and found that no one had returned yet. Jiang Yan used the fifteen gold coins he had just received to exchange for a pound of chicken and a pound of vegetable platter. Fortunately, there were a lot of cabbages and radishes planted in front of the yard, so it was not so cold.
"You can cook too, I never knew!" Zhuo Jiangxue was amazed by her skillful vegetable cutting movements.
Jiang Yan put the chopped radish on the plate and made up an excuse, "When I was a child, my mother went out to work and I cooked at home."
In fact, Jiang Yan once played a passionate movie about a novice chef who became a five-star chef. The director specially invited a top chef in China to teach her for two months. Even a kitchen killer can master a few home-cooked dishes under the guidance of a teacher, not to mention Jiang Yan who learns everything quickly.
The first dish she was going to make was cabbage and radish soup. She cut the cabbage and radish, put them into the pot and boiled them for ten minutes. She then put in the wolfberries she brought with her, and added appropriate amounts of pepper and salt. A simple, delicious and nutritious soup was ready.
Next, she cleaned the chicken breast and cut it into diced chicken, poured in cooking wine and starch and stirred. As she did so, she said to the camera, "I originally wanted to make spicy diced chicken, but considering that there might be guests who can't eat spicy food, I changed it to stir-fried diced chicken with soy sauce, but the method is also very simple."
[I have all the materials at home, please wait for me for two minutes! ]
[Don't do it yet, it will be done soon! ]
[I asked my mother when she started liking variety shows, and she said she was just learning how to cook from Jiang Yan.]
Just as Jiang Yan finished talking about the ingredients she was going to use, she was stopped by the photographer when she was about to start cooking. The photographer pointed at the camera and said helplessly, "The netizens told you to wait two minutes before cooking, because they want to learn how to cook from you."
As early as when Jiang Yan finished cooking the first dish, everyone recognized her cooking skills. Thanks to the photographer's technique, the dish looked particularly tempting and delicious under the camera. Now it was dinner time, so everyone wanted to learn something.
Jiang Yan obediently stopped and waited quietly for the audience.
After taking pictures of the delicacies, the eldest brother turned the camera to Jiang Yan. Both the cameraman and the audience watching in the live broadcast room were struck by her appearance.
The April breeze seeped in from the window and blew her hair. Jiang Yan narrowed her eyes and half leaned on the stove, enjoying the peace of this moment. This expression seemed to have never appeared on this face. It gave people the feeling that a drunk beauty at a cocktail party was leaning on the balcony to enjoy a rare leisure time, making people want to get closer but inexplicably retreat.
The black fans who had been guarding the live broadcast room wholeheartedly only then realized that Jiang Yan seemed to be much more beautiful than they had imagined.
While Jiang Yan was cooking, Zhuo Jiangxue was sent out by her to borrow some rice. She first went to the neighbor's house next door, where the door was half open and five people were eating at the dining table.
Zhuo Jiangxue greeted politely and then explained the purpose of his visit.
The neighbor's aunt knew that they were recording a program, so she enthusiastically distributed a full pot of rice. When she came back, she poured the rice she had just begged into the bag, scooped three more bowls into the rice cooker and started washing and cooking the rice.
When the four of them came back after working so hard, they saw three delicious dishes and a soup on the table. They were so moved that they wanted to cry.
When Cheng Kaiyu saw Zhuo Jiangxue dividing the dishes, he preconceived that it was her work, "Jiangxue, you are really great, these dishes smell so good!"
Chi Ying also agreed: "Yes, Jiang Xue, you have worked hard. I didn't expect you to have this ability."
Zhuo Jiangxue did not take credit for the dishes, and told the truth: "These dishes were all made by Jiang Yan alone. I just went out to borrow some rice. Don't thank the wrong person."
Cheng Kaiyu knew that he had praised the wrong person, so he was not embarrassed. He immediately ran into the kitchen and praised Jiang Yan. But Chi Ying froze in place. After a long while, she said to Jiang Yan woodenly, "Jiang Yan... you have worked hard."
Jiang Yan laughed, "It's quite hard work. After picking strawberries, I came back to cook for everyone. But seeing everyone so happy, I am satisfied."
After washing their hands, everyone sat at the table to eat. The delicious food was enough to make up for all the hard work of the morning.
Cheng Kaiyu couldn't wait to pick up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it in his mouth. His eyes suddenly widened. "It's so delicious! Jiang Yan, can I pay you to teach my mother how to cook?"
"Then you have to offer a high price first. Jiang Yan's cooking skills are at least at the master level."
It was a rare relatively warm scene for the few of them. Only Chi Ying was eating without saying a word. Although she hated Jiang Yan in her heart, who could resist delicious food?
At this time, Bai Jingjing asked her own question, "Where do you get all these ingredients?"
Zhuo Jiangxue was no longer hungry when she talked about this. She swallowed the food in her mouth. She talked about everything from bribing children to exchanging ingredients to showing off her cooking skills. She praised Jiang Yan for being a wise and versatile person.
After hearing that Jiang Yan had used the first prize to buy everyone's meal, Xiao Ting also showed her a rare good look, "Thank you, but you have used up all your gold coins. What are you going to do in the future?"
"Actually, I wanted to go to the market to buy ingredients, but I ran out of time so I exchanged with the program team." Jiang Yan thought for a moment and said bluntly, "If possible, can you give me your gold coins?"
Chi Ying finally caught her mistake, suppressed the sarcasm on her face and pretended to be embarrassed: "Jiang Yan, what you said is too much. We are very grateful for your contribution, but you gave it to us voluntarily. You can't blackmail us into giving you the gold coins we earned with our hard work. I don't agree!"
Bai Jingjing carefully observed Xiao Ting's expression and tentatively replied, "I also feel that something is wrong. How about we collect a few gold coins for you? But what if our two groups combined don't have as much as yours?"
The fruits of her labor were said to be voluntary contributions. Even the best-tempered Zhuo Jiangxue started to complain for the first time on the show, "We used all the 15 gold coins we earned to buy ingredients for everyone's cooking. The remaining food is enough for everyone to have a meal tonight. At worst, we can earn more tomorrow. Let's not talk about what Jiang Yan wants to do with your gold coins. Even if you give them all, what will happen? It only adds up to six gold coins, which is not even enough for a plate of food!"
As one of the team members, she knew very well how hard Jiang Yan had worked the whole morning. If it weren't for the solution she came up with, she would probably still be working in the shed, not to mention the delicious meal in front of her.
Jiang Yan didn't expect that she would be so angry. She actually didn't care. She had volunteered to take on the task of cooking in order to change the public's inherent view of her, so it was understandable that someone had found a loophole for her now.
But since her partner is not happy, there is no need for her to show any mercy.
