LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 31
Lusting For Her Cooking
Under the commotion of the audience, the production team immediately started a live-stream for Lu Jinsen.
After a while, the two livestreams were connected.
In order to get a clearer picture of Lu Jinsen repairing the wall, the production team even specially changed their equipment to aerial cameras.
The old man helped hold the ladder while patiently teaching Lu Jinsen how to mend the wall. Lu Jinsen was also very knowledgeable and knew how to do it immediately.
When Lu Jinsen saw the cracks on the wall, he stuck mud into them and smoothed them out.
[F*ck, I support you this time, director. You really understand the audience.]
[I love this quick recovery. I seriously suspect that the director is squatting in the live-stream and paying attention to it in real time. Hahaha.]
[Director: I’m Luo Koukou. Flies and mosquitoes are meat too. I would never let go of any free live-stream traffic!]
[Lu Jinsen, who everyone has been calling out to, isn’t doing that badly without Sister Meng by his side.]
On the other hand, the other two groups shopped for nearly an hour and a half. The staff that were present could not help but remind them, “It’s almost time for us to go back.”
The main guests had spent too much time choosing gifts. The administrator of the live-stream saw that the number of people watching was starting to decrease. They were worried that if this continued, the audience would all be gone.
Qi Yan: “What time is it? Must we go back now?”
“It’s almost five.”
Their group had not made much progress. They had been shopping for so long and had not taken a fancy to anything. Now that they heard that they had to head back, the siblings panicked.
Qi Zhen looked at the staff outside the venue and asked for help, “Can you give us more time?”
The people outside the arena discussed for a while before giving an answer. “At most ten minutes, because our car is leaving later. If you want to stay and shop, you can stay but you’ll have to find your own car to go back later.”
Qi Zhen’s expression changed when he heard that there would be no car for them if they returned later.
He suddenly turned his back and whispered to Qi Yan, “Why don’t we go back later? The director just said this afternoon that he’s actively looking for content for the variety show. I think this is a good opportunity.”
“But how do we get back later?”
“…”
They all thought that the ten minutes given by the production team was too rushed. Now, they were anxious, causing them to blank-out and have no idea at all.
After a while, Qi Zhen asked seriously, “If we find our own car, will we have to bear the expenses ourselves?”
“Yes, so what’s your plan?”
When she heard this, Qi Yan reached out and tugged at his sleeve, signaling him to give up.
However, Qi Zhen didn’t have any intention of changing his mind. He continued, “Are Sister Ke Ke’s group going back now?”
“Their team won’t be returning for the time being.”
“Then let’s go shopping again. We’ll go back with them later.”
Qi Yan: “…”
In the evening, the gorgeous clouds changed rapidly. The countryside and villages were bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun. It was a picturesque scene.
In the twilight, Meng Chuyuan washed the hawthorns she had picked and drained them of water. Then, she skewered the hawthorns with a bamboo stick and placed them on a plate.
After skewering the hawthorn, Meng Chuyuan began to boil the rock sugar and let it melt into syrup.
After the syrup was brewed, Meng Chuyuan placed the hawthorn skewer into the syrup and quickly turned it around to ensure that the surface of the hawthorn could be evenly wrapped in syrup. Then, she took them out and placed them on the plate.
She was very skilled and fast. In a short while, she finished dozens of hawthorn sticks.
[What should I do? I’m envious. I really want to crawl into the screen and eat it.]
[Save me, I want to eat the candied hawthorn too. I don’t know if I can still buy some after work later.]
[Why does Sister Meng know everything? Boohoo, I’m not only craving for her looks and her body. I’m also craving for her culinary skills now.]
[There shouldn’t be any stunt doubles or AI face-changing functions in the live-stream, right?]
[She’s too all-rounded. If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I would have thought it was fake.]
Immediately after, she disposed of the remaining syrup in the pot and placed the red beans that had been brewed in advance into the pot to cook. Then, she scooped them up and added some honey to grind them into a mud-like consistency.
As the osmanthus was picked this afternoon, it was difficult for it to dry in a short period of time, so Meng Chuyuan gathered the osmanthus flowers together and placed them into the stove that had just been used.
During this period, Meng Chuyuan began to pour the glutinous rice flour and sticky rice flour into a clean basin. She added a piece of saccharin and mixed it in evenly. Then, she added a small amount of water and stirred the dough until it was balanced.
…
The audience in the live-stream was stunned when they saw Meng Chuyuan complete every step in detail.
[Watching Sister Meng make pastries, I also want to buy some flour and make them myself.]
[Sister Meng, why don’t you consider opening a class? I’m willing to pay to learn from you.]
[Can I learn how to make this pastry? I really want to learn.]
[Calling Lu Jinsen’s Big Brother Online: The hatred to be borne for snatching his wife is irreconcilable!]
[I’ll rush over now. Can I get a piece of pastry made by Sister Meng tomorrow? Boohoo.]
[After the variety show is broadcasted, will the price of candied hawthorns and osmanthus cakes start to increase?]
While Meng Chuyuan was making pastries, the number of people in the live-stream increased rapidly. It accidentally reached a new high. At the same time, posts about her also rushed to the trending list.
“Grandpa, it’s done.” Lu Jinsen helped the old man repair the wall. There was still some mud left, so he helped the old man repair the low wall at the chicken coop.
The old man was so touched that he almost couldn’t speak. “Young man, thank you.”
He replied politely, “You’re welcome.”
It was rare for Lu Jinsen to be so approachable. Nobody expected him to be so sensible when he was alone with the old man.
“Stay for dinner later. You must be tired after working all afternoon. Rest up. We’ll head out for dinner later.”
“No need, Grandpa. I’ll go back now.”
Seeing that he had tactfully refused, the old man sounded a little disappointed. “Are you really not staying for dinner?”
“No, I…” Lu Jinsen suddenly fell silent. His expression was a little profound. After a while, he said, “My… sister is waiting for me at home.”
[I was almost laughed to death because of Young Master. Is calling her Sister really so hard?]
[I’m dying of laughter. If you can’t call her sister, why don’t you just call her sister-in-law?]
[I can feel how unwilling Young Master is even through the screen. Hahahaha.]
[I feel that Young Master doesn’t have a good relationship with Sister Meng in private. Could it be that Sister Meng’s mother-in-law is also so unruly and tyrannical? Tsk, this family is a little difficult to explain in a few words. It seems that Sister Meng’s life in a wealthy family is quite tough.]
He was thinking: Meng Chuyuan has been back for so long. I wonder how her pastries are doing? Has dinner been made?
However, when he thought about how she could still be busy, Lu Jinsen felt that he should go back and take a look.
Lu Jinsen put away the wall-repairing tools for the old man and turned to say goodbye to him. “Grandpa, I’m going back. Goodbye.”
“Alright, be careful on the way back.” Seeing that he was determined to go back home, the old grandpa did not make things difficult for him.
