Serve as Contrast Team in a ‘Dad with Baby’ Show

Chapter 43: Small rice dumplings with fermented glutinous rice wine

Views:

Because the program crew did not install any camera equipment in the living room during this recording, Shu Mai and Chen Manman did not appear in the live broadcast room.

However, since the house was not soundproof, some of the conversation between the two was still picked up by the radio equipment carried by Lin Momo and Lin Cheng and in their room.

The audience in the live broadcast room could still vaguely hear the conversation between the two girls.

What are the two sisters saying? I can't hear clearly.

I turned up the volume on my tablet to the maximum and seemed to hear them talking about some gossip about the crew.

I heard it too, all about the quarrels and stuff.

Holy shit, is this true

Haha, what a coincidence, I watched the live broadcast and actually got a glimpse of some gossips from the film, television and entertainment industry!

In the live broadcast room, many viewers became excited after smelling the scent of the "melon".

However, when everyone turned up the volume of their electronic devices to the highest, they found that they still could not hear the conversation between the two people.

What's going on? Why can't I hear clearly

Me too, I can't hear anything.

Suddenly everything became blurry.

Just as everyone was puzzled, an announcement from the program team popped up on the live broadcast screen: "Because the content of the clip will involve the crew or personal privacy, it will be blurred before obtaining consent. After obtaining consent, the clip will be played in the main film. Please stay tuned."

Oh, so that’s how it is.

I thought I could eat a few big melons by the way.

I feel like the production team is trying to tempt me to continue supporting the feature film, haha. …

Although everyone felt regretful that they didn't get to eat the big melon, they also understood the program team's approach.

In comparison, I am more looking forward to the process of Momo and Lin's father acting as extras.

To be honest, me too, haha.

I feel that given how evil this unlucky father and daughter are, their life as extras won't be easy from now on.

I used to want to work in the film and television city, come on, Momo and dad, please use your miserable situation to make me give up!

Lin Momo doesn't know yet that her and Lin Cheng's future life as extras has been labeled as miserable by the audience in the live broadcast room. At this moment, holding the planned strategy for extras in her hand, Lin Momo is full of fighting spirit.

"Dad! I have screened all the information on those lists, take a look!" Lin Momo handed her notebook to Lin Cheng as if she was presenting a treasure.

Looking at the densely written pages, Lin Cheng was a little surprised - at first glance, it seemed to be true.

"Okay, let me take a look." Lin Cheng said, intending to carefully go through the contents of Lin Momo's notebook.

Lin Momo leaned close to Lin Cheng's hand, looking like she was waiting to be praised.

Seeing this, Lin Cheng felt a little amused, but he tried hard to look serious.

"Go to bed." Lin Cheng tapped Lin Momo's head gently and reminded her.

"Well, okay." Lin Momo covered her forehead and pretended to climb onto the bed, but her eyes were still staring at Lin Cheng.

Lin Momo thought she could hold on and "accompany" her father to finish reading all of this, but in the end, lying on the bed, not long after, Lin Momo's upper and lower eyelids began to fight each other.

Lin Cheng glanced at Lin Momo who was fast asleep on the bed next to him, smiled, and continued to study the crew information written down in Lin Momo's notebook.

The crew information that Chen Yu had specially compiled was "confiscated" by the program crew along with his belongings when the recording started. Fortunately, Lin Cheng basically memorized the contents.

Lin Cheng compared the two sets of information, corrected some errors or incomplete places in Lin Momo's notebook, and marked a few important points in the text.

The other side.

In the company, Chen Yu shed tears silently when he saw through the live broadcast that Lin Cheng was so diligent and serious in selecting the crew.

Even Wang Xi, who was standing by, couldn't help but sigh: "Brother Cheng is so serious."

"Brother Yu, Brother Yu, do you think it is possible that Brother Cheng entered a crew by chance in the film and television city this time, and then became famous because of a certain role?" Wang Xi suddenly said excitedly.

"It's not completely impossible..." Chen Yu murmured with reservation, touching his chin: After all, anything can happen in a film and television city, and with Lin Cheng's appearance, he can indeed kill the so-called fresh meat nowadays.

After hearing what Chen Yu said, Wang Xi became even more excited: "If that's the case, wouldn't Brother Cheng have the opportunity to directly transition into the film and television industry?!" Being able to sing and act, there's no need to worry about not becoming popular again.

Wang Xi was imagining a bright future where her artist would become a big hit and she, an intern assistant, would be offered a permanent job.

At this moment, Zhou Qi, who had been silent, suddenly asked, "By the way, can Brother Cheng act?"

Wang Xi: “…”

Chen Yu: “…”

Two days in the film and television city.

Because she was thinking about work, Lin Momo got up early in the morning before dawn.

Originally, Lin Momo thought she would be the last one to get up, but when she saw Lin Cheng, who had already gotten up and packed, and was now checking the location and route of each crew, and heard the hurried noises of the 'neighbors' outside, Lin Momo realized: she seemed to be the last one to get up.

Lin Momo rubbed her eyes, looked at the sky outside the window which was not yet gray, and couldn't help yawning.

Lin Cheng glanced at Lin Momo and lowered his voice and said, "It's still early, go back to sleep for a while."

Hearing this, Lin Momo shook her head.

"I'm going to get up." Lin Momo climbed down from the bed, made the bed, changed her clothes, and picked up her toiletries to wash up.

There is only one bathroom in this house, which is shared by everyone.

Lin Momo came to the bathroom door, but found that there were already people inside - two girls, Shu Mai and Chen Manman, were standing in front of a half-mirror, anxiously putting on makeup.

"Hey, Momo." When they saw Lin Momo, they were a little surprised and asked, "Why did you get up so early? Did we wake you up in the living room?"

"No, I woke up by myself." Lin Momo said, and greeted the two of them respectively.

Seeing that Shu Mai and Chen Manman seemed anxious, Lin Momo took her toiletries and went back to the room.

"dad."

"Um?"

"Can I go downstairs to wash up?" Lin Momo asked. Although she was not in such a hurry, she still hoped to pack up early and go out with Lin Cheng to film and earn money.

Behind the restaurant on the first floor, there is a row of washbasins on the ground floor where you go up the stairs, which are shared by restaurant employees and tenants.

So, Lin Cheng responded: "Okay."

"Be careful not to fall and don't get your clothes wet." Lin Cheng reminded.

"Okay." After getting Lin Cheng's consent, Lin Momo went downstairs with the washbasin, towel, mouthwash cup and toothbrush.

Coming downstairs, Lin Momo washed up quickly.

After washing up, Lin Momo carried the basin and prepared to go back. When she passed by the restaurant kitchen, she saw through the window that the landlord was preparing breakfast in the kitchen.

The taste of rice dumplings cooked with fermented glutinous rice and the sweet aroma of glutinous rice could be smelled by Lin Momo even though she was one or two meters away from the kitchen window.

At this time, the landlord behind the screen also noticed Lin Momo.

"Momo, you got up so early." The landlord smiled at Lin Momo and said.

Lin Momo nodded and said to the person opposite her, "Good morning, landlady."

"Good morning to you too." The landlord replied with a smile.

Just when Lin Momo was about to go upstairs, she was stopped by the landlord.

"You haven't had breakfast yet? I just cooked some rice dumplings. Come over and have breakfast." The landlord invited Lin Momo.

After hearing what the landlord said, Lin Momo felt her stomach growl twice.

However, Lin Momo still shook her head and said to the landlord: "Thank you, Auntie Landlady. No need. I'll be there in a moment..."

Before Lin Momo could finish her words, the landlord had already prepared a bowl of hot dumplings, walked out of the door next to her with the bowl of hot dumplings, and stuffed the bowl into Lin Momo's hands.

The landlord also carefully placed a white towel outside the bowl to prevent Lin Momo from getting scalded.

Holding the dumplings, Lin Momo felt a little overwhelmed.

"This is for you to eat, I..."

"Don't be polite. I cooked a big pot." The landlord said with a smile.

It's easy to let go of your grudges when it comes to children. In addition, Lin Momo is cute and polite. Although the landlord is unfamiliar with her, he likes this child very much.

After saying that, the landlord took a spoon from the kitchen and added a poached egg to Lin Momo's bowl.

"Take it to the front table and eat it. There's no one in the store right now."

Lin Momo didn't even think about coming down to wash up, and she just mixed a bowl of glutinous rice balls. Facing the landlord's breakfast, she suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Lin Momo felt that she couldn't eat other people's food for free, so after thinking for a while, she looked up and said to the landlord: "Then I'll help you clean up the table outside."

Seeing Lin Momo's expression of 'not doing anything to refuse this breakfast', the landlord secretly laughed, but still nodded and said half-jokingly: "Okay, okay, then you can help me clean up the table outside, and this bowl of glutinous rice balls will be your hard work fee."

Hearing what the landlord said, Lin Momo took the glutinous rice balls in her hand with confidence and said, "Okay."

After saying "thank you" to the landlord again, Lin Momo carefully took the dumplings to the dining area of the restaurant outside.

After placing the dumplings on the table in the corner of the restaurant, Lin Momo took the broom and rag from the sanitary area at the back and started cleaning.

After all, she used to be a restaurant owner, so Lin Momo was adept at doing these jobs.

In the back kitchen, the landlord prepared breakfast for the staff and free sweet soup for the guests at noon.

When the landlord came to the dining area again, he was surprised at the scene outside.

—She originally thought that cleaning was just something a girl of this age did casually, so when Lin Momo offered to help her clean the table, the landlord didn't take it seriously. She didn't expect that Lin Momo would actually help her clean up the dining area outside.

Inside the store, there were seven or eight tables, all of which had been wiped by Lin Momo with cleaning water, then again with fresh water. In the air, one could still smell the scent of dishwashing liquid that had lingered after cleaning.

Lin Momo wiped the table until it was shiny, and the stools around the table were also wiped by Lin Momo and placed neatly in a circle around the table.

At this moment, Lin Momo was holding a stack of disposable tablecloths and stretched out her hand laboriously to spread them on the table.

After laying out the tablecloth, Lin Momo would carefully walk around the table. After making sure that every side was laid out, she would then take the "Save Food" sign, tissue box, and toothpick box and place them neatly in the middle of the table.

"That's enough, Momo, you've worked hard. You don't have to do any more. Let the brothers and sisters in the store do the rest later." The landlord hurried over to hold Lin Momo back for fear of tiring the child.

Seeing that Lin Momo's bowl of glutinous rice balls was still on the table next to her, the landlord walked over and led her to sit down at the table, and said with some heartache: "Why didn't you eat first? Come here and have breakfast first."

After settling Lin Momo down, the landlord turned around and looked at the table that Lin Momo had tidied, then looked at Lin Momo again.

—Are you sure this is a celebrity’s child

"It's cleaner than our shop assistants." The landlord muttered to himself again.

Because this is a film and television city, there are so many people coming and going. In addition to preparing meals for the crew every day, she and several employees also have to deal with the continuous flow of guests coming to eat. They are almost dizzy with work, so when they clean the table, they can only wipe it clean reluctantly. It is really not as careful as Lin Momo.

"Eat quickly, or it will get cold." The landlord said to Lin Momo again.

Lin Momo lowered her head and began to eat breakfast quietly.

For Lin Momo's bowl of rice, the landlord deliberately did not put sweet wine in it, but added osmanthus honey in it. It was sweet, fragrant, glutinous and soft.

Lin Momo almost finished a bowl of glutinous rice balls and said to the landlord, "Thank you."

"Aunt… "

"What's wrong?"

"Can you fill it up a little more for me?" Lin Momo handed over her bowl and asked the landlord a little embarrassedly.

This is really delicious. Lin Momo wants to bring a bowl to Lin Cheng as well.

"Of course, no problem. There's a big pot in the kitchen. You can order any amount you want."

Therefore, the landlord generously filled another big bowl of glutinous rice balls for Lin Momo.

Taking the bowl handed to her by her opponent again, Lin Momo ran upstairs with a happy look on her face.

"Dad, Dad!" Lin Momo returned to the room and called Lin Cheng a few times.

"What?"

"This is the glutinous rice dumplings cooked by the landlady. They are super delicious. This is for you." Lin Momo happily handed the glutinous rice dumplings to Lin Cheng.

After thinking for a while, Lin Momo added, "I helped the landlady clean up the table downstairs, so this is in exchange for my labor."

After listening to Lin Momo's explanation, Lin Cheng roughly understood what was going on. He rubbed Lin Momo's head and said, "Thank you."

"You're welcome!"

"Dad, please eat it quickly, it's really delicious!"

Lin Momo and Lin Cheng both prefer sweet flavors, so they have the same preference for noodles.

Lin Momo thought the food was delicious, and Lin Cheng also thought it was good.

He was only halfway through his meal when suddenly the sound of Lin Momo's 'grunting' disappeared. Lin Cheng raised his eyes, only to see Lin Momo pursing her lips and looking at him with a troubled expression.

"What's wrong?" Lin Cheng asked.

"That, that is..." Lin Momo pointed at the bowl in front of Lin Cheng and said in a low voice: "This is the bowl I ate from before."

Lin Momo didn't think too much about it at first. She felt embarrassed to ask the landlord to get her another bowl, so she just used her own bowl and asked the other person to add another bowl.

Lin Momo looked at Lin Cheng nervously, afraid that Lin Cheng would be disgusted.

As a result, Lin Cheng just paused for a moment and continued to finish eating the rest of the dumplings.

Lin family.

Watching this scene through the live broadcast, both Mr. Lin and the housekeeper Zhou behind him had a look of mystery on their faces: Although Lin Cheng later lived in the main house for only a few days, his mysophobia had already been deeply rooted in people's minds.

I didn’t think…

"The eldest young master doesn't dislike your young lady at all." Butler Zhou said with a smile.

Hearing this, Mr. Lin pursed his lips and said, "This is his daughter, how dare he despise her!"

"By the way, breakfast is not ready in the kitchen yet, right? If you haven't done it yet, don't do it. Cook me a bowl of rice dumplings with fermented rice wine. Remember to add osmanthus honey." Grandpa Lin ordered.

Butler Zhou wanted to remind the old man to eat less glutinous food, but seeing that Old Man Lin was staring at the image of Lin Cheng eating glutinous rice balls on the screen with a greedy look on his face, he had no choice but to lower his head and instruct the kitchen to make a small amount of the same glutinous rice balls for Old Man Lin.

Here, after breakfast, Lin Cheng prepared to go out.

Originally, Lin Cheng didn't plan to take Lin Momo out.

When Lin Cheng turned around, he saw that Lin Momo had changed into a set of sportswear that was easy to move in, and was wearing a sun hat and carrying a school bag. In one hand, she was holding her crew guide, and in the other hand, she was holding two plastic fans with the advertisement of "xx Hospital". She also had a kettle full of water hanging around her waist...

It looks like everything is ready and we can set off at any time.

Looking at Lin Momo's appearance, Lin Cheng's words of asking her to stay 'at home' turned around in his throat for a few times, but he still didn't have the heart to say it out loud.

Finally, Lin Cheng relented and said to Lin Momo, "The roads in the film and television city are complicated and crowded. Follow me closely and don't run around."

"Okay." Lin Momo nodded seriously.

"If anything happens during the process, or if you feel unwell, tell me immediately."

"Okay." Lin Momo nodded again.

Looking at the well-behaved Lin Momo, Lin Cheng finally sighed secretly and said, "Let's go."

"good!"
