Chapter Thirty-Five: Favoritism from the Program Group
The work of the helpers is quite easy, and there are many of them, so it won't be hard to do the work.
They helped peel garlic, peel potatoes and wash vegetables, and even cleaned the canteen afterward.
Without the task of cooking, the guests were busy with the helpers' preliminary work and were soon free.
The school cafeteria is very close to the playground. There are students from some classes taking physical education classes, and the second half of the period happens to be free time.
Many students were playing basketball, shuttlecock and skipping rope on the court. Everyone was laughing and mingling together.
Qi Zhen saw that the basketball was about to move, and his eyes remained on the court. He thought that he would have nothing to do for a while, so he might as well go over and play with them for a while.
Seeing that Lu Jinsen happened to be next to him, he asked politely: "I'm going to play basketball with them. Do you want to go?"
Lu Jinsen frowned slightly and originally wanted to refuse, but Qi Zhen's words happened to be heard by Meng Chuyuan.
Before Lu Jinsen could react, Meng Chuyuan interrupted: "Go and play with them for a while."
Lu Jinsen: "..."
As soon as Meng Chuyuan said these words, Qi Zhen looked at him more expectantly, making it difficult for him to say no even if he wanted to refuse.
[I want to ask, can Lu Jinsen play ball? 】
[Looking at his stinky face, I feel that playing basketball is not his strong point, hahaha]
[I saw that the eldest young master’s mouth just moved, maybe he wanted to refuse, but then he was accidentally interrupted by Sister Meng]
[What?! Lu Jinsen can’t play basketball? Isn’t he so tall for nothing?]
[I don’t care if he knows it or not, I just want to watch the handsome Qi Zhen play basketball]
Lu Jinsen hesitated for a while, and finally went to the basketball court with Qi Zhen.
There happened to be a male classmate who was shooting a basketball, but the ball missed the basket. Qi Zhen came towards him and bravely reached out to catch the basketball.
Qi Zhen's actions just now attracted the attention of the students, especially when they saw him catching the ball effortlessly, they all looked in amazement.
Qi Zhan came over and returned the ball to the classmate who was shooting, and said gently: "Can I join you? We also want to play basketball."
They were short in stature and had to raise their heads when looking at Lu Jinsen and Qi Zhen, as if they were looking at giants.
Hearing that they wanted to join, everyone nodded in agreement without hesitation: "Yes."
"Can you play guard?"
The one who spoke was the student holding the ball. He was slightly chubby and looked chubby and cute. He was the best among their classmates.
Upon hearing this, Qi Zhen smiled and said incredulously: "Wow, what grade are you in? You know how to be a defender at such a young age?"
"Third grade." He gestured with his hand.
Seeing that Lu Jinsen remained silent, the student looked up at him and asked alone: "Brother, can you also play guard?"
Lu Jinsen glanced at him and said without changing his expression: "Who are you looking down on?"
[Holy crap! Is the young master so cool?]
[Absolutely, the eldest young master made the little fat guy speechless, hahaha, the young heart was hurt ten thousand times]
[I asked, brother, can you learn from Qi Chen and be patient with children? 】
[It’s okay for this kid to put on a bad face every day, and he doesn’t hold back in front of children. It’s better for us to spy on our younger brother, who is gentle everywhere]
The Liao sisters saw Lu Jinsen and Qi Zhen going to play basketball. They also wanted to find something to do, so the two sisters targeted several female classmates who were playing shuttlecock.
Liao Jiake glanced at Qi Yan and Meng Chuyuan and asked, "Do you two sisters want to play shuttlecock with us?"
"Thank you, I won't go. I don't know how to play." Qi Yan didn't want to bother with them since it was a rare break.
But she didn't expect that Meng Chuyuan also rejected Liao Jiake's invitation: "You guys go."
Qi Yan didn't really want to be in the same frame as Meng Chuyuan, but the program team only opened three live broadcast rooms. One group was filming Lu Jinsen and Qi Zhen, and the other group was filming the Liao sisters.
She acted moody and did not communicate with Meng Chuyuan privately.
However, Meng Chuyuan only stayed in the cafeteria for a while, and quickly got up and went to the kitchen.
When the director saw Meng Chuyuan leaving, he winked at the side and asked the photographer to follow him quickly.
After Qi Yan saw Meng Chuyuan leaving, she was just about to breathe a sigh of relief, but who knew that the photographer also ran away with Meng Chuyuan.
After the camera was gone, Qi Yan looked very ugly. She raised her head and looked at the director with some doubts: "Director, why did my photographer run away?"
The director seemed not to hear clearly and responded calmly: "What's yours?"
Qi Yan was anxious and emphasized again: "Photographer! How can I broadcast live if he runs away?"
Although she didn't want to be in the same frame as Meng Chuyuan, she didn't say she didn't want to live broadcast the scene.
"Oh, it's live broadcast." The director raised his eyebrows and said calmly: "How about you also go to the kitchen to have a look?"
"Why do you want me to go to the kitchen?"
"Then just sit down and have a good rest and wait for them to come back."
Qi Yan: "..."
Meng Chuyuan took the time to come to the kitchen. She knew that the kitchen workers might be cooking at this moment, so she came over to take a look.
She walked into the kitchen, first glanced at the amount of food prepared, and then looked at the kitchen workers and said: "Uncle, you two usually cook, are you busy enough?"
Hearing this, the kitchen worker smiled and said to her: "It's no problem for two people. We all use that kind of big pot, and it can usually be cooked in two times."
After all, the kitchen is only so big and the stove is limited, so it’s useless even if there are multiple people cooking.
Meng Chuyuan: "Is there anything I can do to help?"
She was free anyway and just wanted to find something to do.
[Who said Sister Meng only knows how to mess around? She knows how to help when she needs to help. I don’t know how diligent she is. She is like a little angel on earth, right?]
[Sister Meng: Although I couldn’t join the chef team, I can do something else]
[It can be seen that Sister Meng is very concerned about this mission]
[Ah ah ah, I am so handsome by Sister Meng again. If this continues, I may really have a problem with my sexual orientation]
The kitchen worker thought for a while and then said: "You can help cook two pots of soup."
"Okay." Meng Chuyuan immediately got started and cleaned the soup pot, "What do you need to put in to cook it?"
"Just make a pot of seaweed and egg drop soup and a pot of bone and winter melon soup. Just keep it simple. The eggs and seaweed are in the cabinet below."
"clear."
Meng Chuyuan filled both pots with water and turned on the electricity, then cleaned the bones and cut the winter melon into pieces and put them into the pot to cook. Then soaked the seaweed in the pot, and finally beat a few eggs into the bowl and stirred them evenly.
…
Originally, the kitchen worker wanted to teach her how to do it, but she didn't expect that Meng Chuyuan's movements were so skillful that people could tell at a glance that she was an expert.
Although it was just an ordinary soup, Meng Chuyuan did not hesitate. She not only deodorized the seaweed and egg drop soup, but also added a few pitted red dates to the winter melon soup so that the soup would taste sweet.
