That afternoon, Jiang Xingzhou slept in his room all afternoon and was almost sober.
Although he has a low alcohol tolerance, he sobers up quickly. This time he was relatively slow to sober up.
After being in a daze for a while, I prepared to go out and drink some water to wake up.
When I walked to the door in my slippers, I remembered to report, so I lingered back to the bed and reached for my cell phone.
Xingyunzaizhou: In the living room
Almost immediately, news about Song Ci came.
Song Ci: Yes!
Song Ci: Not calling!
That means you can go out.
Xingyunzaizhou: OK!
Jiang Xingzhou was also infected by Song Ci's emotions and added an exclamation mark for no reason.
I felt a little amused when the message was sent.
Exclamation marks always give people a feeling of excitement, even though they don’t know what they are excited about.
Song Ci was still in the kitchen, studying and preparing to officially "start the fire".
After her discussions with Jiang Xingzhou over the past two days, she was completely confident in this marketing plan.
Today's firing was not in the traditional sense, because in order to get started quickly, she found a cold drink video to imitate.
The weather at the end of July is very hot, so cold drinks are quite suitable for the occasion.
The video found by Song Ci has more than 1.2 million likes on Douyin, and the blogger himself is considered a big V, with six to seven million fans.
The protagonist of this cold drink is watermelon, a must-have fruit in summer, and the preparation method is also very simple.
Cut the watermelon in half, take out one half of the watermelon, scoop out the flesh, then put the flesh mixed with ice cubes back into the hollowed-out half of the watermelon rind, add a few pieces of lime, and finally pour in Sprite and it's done.
If conditions permit, you can also add a mint as garnish.
Song Dynasty porcelain must be the one without conditions.
Song Ci was just about to cut the watermelon when Jiang Xingzhou came over.
Song Ci's cell phone was placed on the cupboard, leaning against a few books to barely stand steady. From Jiang Xingzhou's perspective, the cell phone was completely blocked, so he only saw a few books and did not think Song Ci was taking a photo.
He just thought Song Ci wanted to cut watermelon to eat, and was wondering why Song Ci suddenly bought some fruit today.
But can Song Ci finish such a big watermelon by himself
After all, it's already evening.
He walked over and asked casually, "Would you like to have watermelon tonight?"
After asking this question, I felt that there was something wrong with this question.
The tone was so casual that it sounded like a family, as if one of the family members came into the kitchen and curiously asked the family preparing dinner what was for dinner tonight.
Having said it, he naturally cannot take it back. He thinks Song Ci should understand.
Song Ci was worried that the watermelon was not obedient and it broke when she put the knife on it.
So now she got not just two halves of the watermelon, but three, and the largest half had a crack in the middle.
It's like she cut the watermelon horizontally, but the watermelon collapsed vertically.
This is very eye-catching.
Although the watermelon was not divided into four parts, it was almost the same, so there was no way to make a cold drink today.
Song Ci couldn't hide her distressed expression for a moment. When she turned to answer Jiang Xingzhou's question, she still frowned and complained in a coquettish tone: "Yes, eat watermelon, but I cut the watermelon badly, what should I do?"
Jiang Xingzhou took a look at the watermelon on the eucalyptus board and thought it was okay. It was quite big and there was nothing wrong with it except that it was a little irregular. It could be cut into bite-sized pieces that would be easier to eat.
It’s just a pity that I can’t just hold half a watermelon and eat it with a spoon.
"Do you want to eat it with a spoon? This half should be okay." From Jiang Xingzhou's angle, he couldn't see the crack on the half watermelon.
Song Ci shook her head: "No, I'm preparing to shoot a video, preparing for my first video."
Jiang Xingzhou was stunned.
He realized it later and took a half step back, still a little nervous: "I should... not disturb you, right?"
He poked his fingers back and forth between himself and the watermelon, feeling a little helpless.
"No," Song Ci said disappointedly, "I cut the watermelon badly, so I can't shoot the video today."
“I see.”
Jiang Xingzhou hesitated to speak, looked at Song Ci's dejected expression, then looked at the watermelon broken into three pieces on the table, and he began to understand.
It’s true that no food blogger’s watermelon has ever been cut like this.
He comforted her: "It's okay, at worst we can continue tomorrow."
"But what should I do with this watermelon?" This is what Song Ci is most worried about.
How do other food bloggers solve this problem
You can't just rely on one mouth to eat.
How long will it take her to eat such a big melon? It seems she may not be able to finish it even by tomorrow.
She had originally planned to send half of it to Jiang Xingzhou after it was done, so that she wouldn't have too much left over, and when she was editing the video she could eat it bit by bit and she wouldn't be left with nothing.
But now, the watermelon was cut badly, and she couldn't proceed to the next step. How could she give such a semi-finished product directly to Jiang Xingzhou? After all, Jiang Xingzhou had helped her so much, so why should she give him half a crookedly cut watermelon
Song Dynasty porcelain cannot do such a thing.
Jiang Xingzhou said as a matter of course: "The broken watermelon should be eaten, but you can't just follow the example of other rich fans who buy milk and pour it down the drain without drinking it."
He said this jokingly, recalling the milk dumping incident he had seen on the hot search list before.
Song Ci wrinkled her nose. Although she had not participated in the milk dumping incident, and her idol Bai Yao had not participated in it either, Bai Yao and the star who was hit for milk dumping participated in the same talent show.
However, Bai Yao was from the previous class, and the milk dumping incident happened in the next class.
But because it was the same show, Bai Yao was often misunderstood, so Song Ci subconsciously became defensive when he heard about this.
She realized that the person in front of her was Jiang Xingzhou, who probably just treated this matter as a pastime after dinner, and was not a fan of Bai Yao, and had no other malicious intentions. Only then did she relax again.
"I know," she turned her attention back to the watermelon itself, "Yes, it's because it's too big. I can't eat it."
The more she spoke, the lower her voice became, because she said this with ulterior motives. She was embarrassed to take out the watermelon, so she wanted Jiang Xingzhou to understand her hint and take the watermelon to help her solve some of the problems.
She is so mean, she is so cunning.
Song Ci felt even more guilty.
Jiang Xingzhou reacted, he seemed to understand Song Ci's hint.
But I was still unsure, so I just asked, "Can I help you?"
He felt that he was extremely polite, even asking others what they thought before helping them.
Song Ci nodded immediately: "Okay!"
Jiang Xingzhou laughed. This little girl really had this kind of thought.
**
On the sofa in the living room, two people were silently eating their own watermelons. If you look closely, you can see that the distance between them is smaller than at the beginning.
Although not much, it is still visible to the naked eye.
Jiang Xingzhou offered to eat the chopped watermelon, leaving the relatively intact watermelon for Song Ci to eat.
After eating for a while, he couldn't help but ask Song Ci: "Which video did you originally plan to copy?"
The raw material is watermelon.
Several related videos flashed through Jiang Xingzhou's mind at once.
Song Ci explained: "Make that watermelon Sprite ice drink."
Jiang Xingzhou neighed softly, skeptical about the name.
In the few videos that just flashed through his mind, it was indeed true that watermelon was mostly paired with Sprite, except for the occasional video of just squeezing watermelon juice.
But when he watched that kind of video, he always felt that this was not a diarrhea-inducing meal
Watermelon + ice cubes + Sprite.
Occasionally, some people add Yakult.
No matter how you look at it, it looks like a diarrhea set meal.
Jiang Xingzhou did not object to Song Dynasty porcelain choosing this for its first reproduction. Instead, he thought she had a good taste. Not only was it simple and easy to use, it was also quite suitable for the current weather. Several similar videos he had seen recently also had good traffic.
What he didn't understand was why Song Dynasty porcelain had to be reproduced at night
Can I sleep well if I drink this at night
Thinking of this, he asked unconsciously.
Song Ci was stunned by the question, and her expression became dull again, but this time her cheeks quickly turned cherry pink.
She was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to do and her eyes were wandering.
Jiang Xingzhou: "Hmm?"
"I'm sorry, I didn't pay that much attention." Song Ci apologized.
Jiang Xingzhou was shocked. Why did she apologize? He didn't mean to blame her. He was just giving a suggestion that it was not good to drink this kind of thing at night.
I guess he said something harsh when his mind was wandering just now.
So Jiang Xingzhou explained to Song Ci again, and it took a while for Song Ci to finally understand.
After saying this, Jiang Xingzhou immediately changed the subject and asked, "Did you take the photo just now?"
"Took it!" Song Ci sat up straight immediately and took out his cell phone proudly.
How could she not shoot footage to make a video!
The stand she bought hasn't arrived yet, so today she found several books on how to tame her phone.
However, the filming was interrupted by Jiang Xingzhou, and she didn't have time to see the results.
Open the album, find the latest video, and click it.
In order to make it easier for Jiang Xingzhou to watch it together, she placed the phone between the two of them.
But there was still a certain distance between the two people, which made both of them feel uncomfortable.
Jiang Xingzhou supported himself with his right hand and leaned his whole body to the right to watch the video.
Song Ci watched the video in the same posture.
Both of them looked at each other in such an awkward manner, and neither of them thought of moving their buttocks a little further toward the middle to avoid being so uncomfortable.
The video was not short, because Song Ci was making adjustments in the first minute. Thinking that it would have to be edited anyway, she turned on the recording function at this time.
Song Ci was a little embarrassed to let Jiang Xingzhou watch her debugging process, because in order to adjust the direction, her face suddenly appeared in front of the camera, and her entire face suddenly enlarged on the screen.
It was only after being released that Song Ci realized this situation.
His mind went blank for a moment, and then he covered the phone with lightning speed.
Ahhhhhhhhh!
