Entertaining Children

Chapter 33 Jiangnan Ancient Town

Chapter 33 Jiangnan Ancient Town

One week after the martial arts and fighting competition, it was time for the second recording of “Where Are You Going, Dad”, and the five families who had been separated for a week also reunited.

The location of the second recording was a village called Xinye in Jiande City, Dongzhe Province. Unlike the small mountain village in Shonan last time, although Xinye is also called a village this time, there are more than two hundred ancient buildings with hundreds of years of history and dozens of alleys, regardless of history, environment or scale. That makes this village more like an ancient town in the south of the Yangtze River.

This time, the five families are going to spend two days and two nights in such a cultural and historical village or ancient town.

Five families gathered at the entrance of the village. It is strange that everyone did not see Chen Lei, the “village chief” who was expected to come to welcome everyone. They are all acquaintances, and the trouble of self-introduction during the first recording is saved. Each director of the production team directly explained the first task of choosing a house to everyone, and asked everyone to go to the village by themselves. Go to the building called Liuyun Tower to get the mission card.

No one has been to this village, and no one knows where the Liuyun Pagoda is, but since there is a tower in the name, everyone just looked around and aimed at the tallest tower in the village.

The five families ran wildly, and almost entered the Liuyun Tower. Under the instructions of the film crew director, the mission card was found on the second floor of the tower.

Probably, the performance of Xiao Yao in the task of choosing a house in the previous filming was quite different from that of other children. This time, the task of choosing a house was appointed by the fathers.

The task this time is to ask the fathers to go to the village to find any villager in the village to complete the scenes in a designated classic TV series. The actions and dialogue must be completely consistent with the plot in order to pass the level. After completing the task, the first family to return to Liuyun Tower has the right to choose the house first, and the last one naturally has no choice.

As soon as the task came out, Zhou Lixing was dumbfounded. Zhao Tao, Lin Shaohua, and Sun Zhihao are all actors. Although Xiao Siqi is a singer, he has an old opera father at home. He should not be completely unfamiliar with acting. He is the only one who engages in sports and he is completely blind to acting.

The result of the final task is also completely consistent with Zhou Lixing’s guess. Lin Shaohua was first, Sun Zhihao was second, Zhao Tao was third, Xiao Siqi was fourth, and Zhou Lixing was last.

After confirming the final ranking, “Village Chief” Chen Lei finally appeared. It seems that in order to match the artistic conception of this ancient village, Chen Lei appeared in an ancient costume specially.

Chen Lei took out five wooden signs, hung them up one by one, and said to the fathers: “This time I chose the house without a picture of the house. Everyone chooses one of these five signs. You can choose from the signs on the signs. Use words to guess what the house looks like. Of course, the first person to complete the task just started to choose.”

Chen Lei finished speaking, the five curious families all surrounded the hanging sign. I saw five antique wooden signs with writing brushes “wine”, “ink”, “medicine”, “dyed” and “pottery”.

“This should be easy to guess.” Sun Zhihao suddenly realized after seeing it: “Liquor is a wine shop. Ink is either a school or a workshop to make ink and inkstones. Medicine must be a pharmacy. In ancient times, It’s a drugstore hospital. It must be dyed cloth workshops. Tao is probably making ceramic ware. This kid should like it. He plays with mud.” At the end, Sun Zhihao laughed, “It seems that the program group is conscientious this time. It’s a big discovery. They all look good, and there should be no bad houses.”

Chen Lei smiled on the side and said: “The fortune teller has already analyzed it for everyone. As for whether it is right, I definitely can’t tell you, now please start the selection.”

Lin Shaohua, who was the first place, did not start the election right away, but started to discuss with everyone: “I didn’t say which one must be. If you have any type you want to live in, I can leave it to you. I feel that it is similar to Teacher Sun. There are no particularly bad houses. The conditions in this village today are much better than those of the last time. I saw the kind of broken house program group they lived in on Bayi last time, even if they deliberately looked for it, they couldn’t find it.” Basically, the village has been visited by the task. This southern village is indeed very good. The main road in and out of the village is a cement road, and the narrow alley between the house and the house is a stone road. Although the house looks very old-fashioned, but I really haven’t found any broken houses.

Sun Zhihao was the first to say: “Then I will go to the drug store. I am more interested in food, and I have some research on health preservation. I go to the drug store to see if there are any medicinal materials that can be used as ingredients. I will find an opportunity to see if I can get it for everyone. A medicated diet or something.”

After everyone agreed, Zhao Tao continued: “Then I will go to the wine shop. Everyone knows that I am a good drinker.”

“Of course heroes love wine, it’s just right to go to the wine shop.” Everyone laughed. Zhao Tao has played many heroes in costume dramas.

“Then we need ink.” Xiao Siqi also said: “My dad taught Bayi to write calligraphy, and Bayi has been practicing. Let’s go to Mo. It’s okay to let Bayi practice calligraphy.”

“Then I’m going to dye it,” Lin Shaohua said, “I think the ancient dyeing workshops would dry the dyed cloth in the yard. The scene should be pretty good. Do it, I will leave this pottery to you, you Jiahao Hao is the youngest, this mud house is left to your family Hao Hao.”

As the last place, Zhou Zhihao naturally has no opinion, and as Lin Shaohua said, Zhou Zhihao is the youngest, and the mud house is just right for them.

After the discussion, everyone received the wooden plaques in order. I started wandering around the village looking for my own house. The house is not particularly difficult to find. Every door of the house where they live is also hung with a wooden sign that is exactly the same in their hand. As long as you walk around completely, you can’t find it.

Everyone found their homes, packed their luggage and settled down, and the directors of the production team also handed the task cards to the fathers.

“I don’t need my dads to prepare lunch for the children at noon today,” Xiao Siqi took the task card and read it. Just after reading a sentence, he was happy, but then immediately frowned, “But the program team didn’t do it for everyone. I am preparing for lunch, so my father needs to take the children to the village to solve it by himself for lunch. What do you mean? How to solve it by yourself?” Xiao Siqi looked at director Chen Min in confusion.

“Uh…simply put, it’s Cengfan.” Chen Min replied with a smile.

“Take the kids to the village for a meal?” Xiao Siqi confirmed.

Seeing Chen Min nodded with a smile, Xiao Siqi sighed in his heart. Everyone’s mission must be the same, and now it’s no use going to Sun Zhihao’s house. But I don’t seem to be very good at Cengfan. He is not good at talking to strangers, not to mention going to someone to beg for food, it seems that he will have to go out on August 1 again. But it seems that Bayi is a bit too mature, and he doesn’t know if he is willing to do this kind of shy face to strangers and behave like a baby, or if he can do it.

“August 1st, I’m going to eat, do you have any ideas?” Xiao Siqi rushed downstairs and found Xiao Yao who was admiring the calligraphy and calligraphy hanging on the wall in the hall.

The house they stayed in is called Yi Mo Xuan, which is like an ancient calligraphy and painting shop. After entering the hall, all kinds of calligraphy and paintings were hung on the four walls. There were many thread-bound books on the two large bogu shelves, and the grids were porcelain bottles with many scrolls. The living rooms are all upstairs in this two-story building. There are four bedrooms upstairs, and their father and son occupy one of them.

Such a bookish place, Xiao Yao is very interested in it. Going upstairs to put the luggage and handing over the task of sorting the luggage to Xiao Siqi, Xiao Yao went downstairs enthusiastically to watch the calligraphy and paintings on the walls.

“Oh, are there any requirements?” Xiao Yao asked.

“Said that I want to find people in this village to eat food.” Xiao Siqi said.

“In the village, the place where we live now belongs to the village. Talk to Uncle Qin. They will eat with Uncle Qin at noon. They should not disagree.” Xiao Yao said.

“That’s right.” Xiao Siqi heard this and thought this method was good. Because they wanted to borrow someone else’s place to stay for two nights, after the two found this place, Xiao Siqi and the owner of Yimoxuan, Qin Yifeng, who stood at the door warmly greeted them, exchanged greetings and thanks, and they knew each other. . Although the agreement between them and the program group is to provide accommodation, they also have to eat anyway, which is not as good as they are. It must be much easier to find the host directly, and there is no need to run around.

The master Qin Yifeng heard Xiao Siqi say, and naturally agreed without a word. He can promise the show team to lend a house to the guests. Naturally, he knows the show very well, and he also knows Xiao Siqi’s celebrity status, and being able to eat with celebrities and fathers and sons is very rare for the general public. Opportunity. Previously, I was afraid that the program group had arrangements in this regard, and that his rash opening would affect the shooting of the program, so I didn’t take the initiative to invite him. Now that Xiao Siqi speaks by himself, there is no problem.

Qin Yifeng agreed readily, and Xiao Siqi didn’t want to just throw his hands away for nothing. He didn’t do nothing when he partnered with Sun Zhihao before. For Xiao Siqi’s initiative to help, Qin Yifeng refused at first, but couldn’t stand Xiao Siqi’s repeated insistence, and cooking with celebrities is also a very interesting thing, so he simply arranged for him to help clean vegetables and vegetables.

Xiao Siqi came to help, he could agree, but when Xiao Yao also got into the kitchen and said he wanted to help, Qin Yifeng refused to call the child who was only a few years old anyway.

Seeing Xiao Yao seemed to be staying in the kitchen, thinking that he was alone, Qin Yifeng, who was bored, remembered that Xiao Siqi had said that Xiao Yao could write calligraphy, so he simply pulled Xiao Yao out of the kitchen and went to the hall to find one. Pile of white paper and pen and ink, let him write and play in the hall, anyway, the most indispensable thing in his shop is these things.

Seeing Qin Yifeng’s arrangement, Xiao Yao also knew that he would not let himself into the kitchen, so he accepted Qin Yifeng’s arrangement and practiced the writing on the book table in the hall.

Three people cook for four people. This speed is naturally very fast. Before 12 noon, Qin Yifeng and Xiao Siqi, the four of them, were already on the table. Although Qin Yifeng’s wife’s cooking skills are not as good as Sun Zhihao’s, the cooked dishes are still very delicious. When Xiao Siqi and his son were satisfied, Qin Yifeng and his wife were naturally happy.

After lunch, even if he completed the task of solving the lunch by himself, Chen Min handed over the next task card. The next task just wrote about gathering in the open space before the village’s Confucian Temple at two o’clock in the afternoon, but didn’t write specific content.

Since the morning mission did not consume too much energy, and the afternoon mission would not start until two o’clock, Xiao Siqi simply took Xiao Yao to wander around this beautiful village, and by the way, he was investigating and familiarizing himself with the terrain in advance.
