Chapter 68 Secret Recipe
Xu An's suggestions were not enough to get the live stream going.
[I thought you had some secret recipe? Is that all?]
[You might say it's useless, but it seems to have some use; you might say it's useful, but that sounds a bit absurd.]
Don't you guys understand that telling a girl to drink more hot water is the most sincere way a guy can show his concern? Similarly, remembering to use an umbrella and wear an extra jacket is also important!
Please don't remind me of my time as a simp, okay?
Although Zhang Lin couldn't see the comments, he was speechless after hearing Xu An's suggestion.
"That's it?"
Seeing Zhang Lin's somewhat disgusted expression, Xu An glanced at him and casually said, "How about I tell you about a medicinal guide for a traditional Chinese medicine?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Lin nodded happily.
The term "medicinal guide" sounds more sophisticated than "water."
"That's great! I didn't know you knew about traditional Chinese medicine, Xiao Xu."
"Go ahead and say it, I'll remember it!"
Seeing him take out his phone, open the notes app, and look serious, Xu An said solemnly:
"Take a cup of clean, dust-free morning rootless decoction, simmer it over a low flame until the crab eyes are connected like pearls, then add the Taihe True Liquid, and wait for it to sink like flying snow into the sea, and the medicinal guide is ready."
Zhang Lin remembered this, and his expression gradually became serious. Although he had never heard of these things before, they were obviously precious Chinese medicinal herbs.
Thinking of this, Zhang Lin asked with some concern:
"Xiao Xu, could you describe these Chinese medicinal herbs in more modern terms? I'm worried that some of the rarer ones might be hard to find."
"Oh, H2O."
Xu An said casually.
This sounds familiar. Could it be some kind of precious chemical substance?
Zhang Lin thought for a while and then suddenly realized what was going on.
"Isn't this still water???"
"I didn't say it wasn't!"
Xu An's voice revealed a hint of innocence.
Looking at Xu An's innocent face, Zhang Lin was speechless.
Not only him, but the entire live stream audience was speechless.
[I've been taking notes for a while now, and you're telling me this is water?]
I'm truly at a loss. How can someone be so utterly nonsensical with such a straight face?
【I'm really speechless. I studied Traditional Chinese Medicine, and I was actually looking to find fault, but you're making me look really stupid, you know?】
Jiang Zhaoyue walked over with Zhang Yunxi and saw Zhang Lin staring at Xu An with a speechless expression, revealing a curious look:
"Uncle Zhang, what are you and Xu An talking about?"
"Let's chat..." Zhang Lin was about to answer subconsciously when he suddenly realized something.
If I were to say that I consulted Xu An and was so easily misled by him that I was completely disoriented, wouldn't that be incredibly embarrassing?
And in front of his own precious daughter?
Although she would see it after the show, Zhang Lin, thinking it was better to lose face later than sooner, still made up an excuse.
"Xiao Xu and I were discussing how he shielded Bai Ge from the attacker at the press conference."
"Ask him why he's so skilled! How does he train?"
As he said this, Zhang Lin secretly gave Xu An a look, the meaning of which was quite clear.
I'm not going to hold it against you for trying to fool me earlier. You know what to say, right?
Zhang Lin breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Xu An nod slightly, but then he heard Xu An's voice.
"That's right, Uncle Zhang is asking me for advice on how to train. He's really gone all out; he even said he'd give me a few boxes of his treasured tea!"
Zhang Lin's lips twitched as he watched Xu An describe the story so vividly.
This kid didn't betray him, but he didn't let him go either.
They've become addicted to taking advantage of deals!
Although it tricked Zhang Lin, the effect was still very obvious; Jiang Zhaoyue was indeed attracted by Xu An's words.
"Now that you mention it, Uncle Zhang, I'm curious too. I've never seen you exercise in the cabin before."
"You sleep like a log in the morning, and Bai Ge or Wanwan always have to wake you up for breakfast. How come you're so agile?"
Hearing Jiang Zhaoyue's words, Xu An said with dissatisfaction:
"Who said I stopped training? I've been training very diligently, okay?"
"You didn't forget to exercise even while you were in the hospital the other day?"
"Weren't you playing a game with me?"
Hearing this, Jiang Zhaoyue asked with some confusion.
"That's right, hand exercises!"
Jiang Zhaoyue:......
As expected, Jiang Zhaoyue, realizing that Xu An was deceiving her again, started chasing after him everywhere.
Seeing this, the elderly people in the hut were already used to it. Even Bai Ge, who would have tried to stop them at first, only called out softly.
"Don't go too far, we still need to cook!"
Li Yang, who was sitting next to Chen Zize, was a little confused. He tapped Chen Zize's shoulder and asked in a low voice:
"Is this how you always film your shows?"
"What do you mean?"
Chen Zize, who was sitting and lost in thought, turned his head to look at Li Yang with some confusion.
"You're just going to watch them interact? Aren't you going up to them?"
Li Yang wondered why he had come on the show using his relationship with his agent and Chen Zize, hoping that Chen Zize, a senior, would give him a demonstration.
Why does Chen Zize seem even more Zen-like than him?
Upon hearing this, Chen Zize gave him a helpless look.
"Didn't you watch the first two episodes?"
Li Yang nodded. Although he wasn't as popular as Chen Zize, he was always busy with various activities and didn't have time to watch TV shows.
No wonder, you won't ask this question after watching the show.
A flicker of reminiscence crossed Chen Zize's eyes. Considering Li Yang was his teammate, he whispered a few words.
In the first episode, he also wanted to actively showcase himself.
Then Xu An tricked me into chopping firewood all afternoon.
Fortunately, I had something come up on the first day of the second phase and couldn't come, otherwise I would have had to harvest wheat for a day too.
Even so, he couldn't escape Xu An's attack with iced tea in the end.
After learning from the lessons of these two episodes, Chen Zize has summarized one key point.
Getting close to Xu An will bring misfortune.
Chen Zize was already incredibly grateful that Xu An didn't come looking for him, so why would he go up there to invite trouble?
He's not stupid.
To be honest, even the viewers in the live chat were shocked when they heard what Chen Zize said.
Goodness, this kid isn't stupid!
[You know what, my brother has really become smarter!]
[Wait a minute, I don't accept this! Brother, where's your pride and arrogance as a top star? Why are you afraid of Xu An? Go and fight him!]
[That's right, that's right, what are we supposed to see if you don't expose us?]
Unfortunately, despite the enthusiastic encouragement from the live streamers, it had no effect on Chen Zize's decision to "go to the back" (i.e., play the "turtle" move).
However, there are always some people who don't believe in superstition.
Upon hearing Chen Zize's words, a glint of distrust flashed in Li Yang's eyes.
Is this Xu An really that strange?
He's just a bit handsome, and even though he saved Bai Ge before, he's only a bit better at fighting.
This is a variety show, not a fighting show.
The competition isn't about fists and kicks, but about who can create a better entertainment value!
As for the entertainment value of the show, as a professional, how could I be inferior to Xu An?
Seeing the unconvinced look on Li Yang's face, Chen Zize shook his head.
He seemed to see his former self in him.
Soon, Li Yang found an opportunity to get close to Xu An.
