Chapter 217 Bird of Paradise
Chapter 217 Bird of Paradise
Tonight's accommodation has been arranged, and what they said about helping with the work was not nonsense. Since each of them has to buy so much rice, they can give Sister Wang a hand. It is a good opportunity for them to experience the whole process of rice from shelling to bagging and packaging, just like visiting a Northeastern farm stay.
Of course, when they decided to go to Sister Wang’s farm the night before, they had discussed what to do specifically. After all, they were recording a program, and they had to add some content and practical information to the program, so the program crew also communicated with Sister Wang about the process in advance.
So naturally Sister Wang would not be polite and let the guests rest. Of course, it was fine for them to experience the farmhouse, but the most important thing now was to eat. Lunch had been prepared long ago, and they were just waiting for them to come and eat.
Sister Wang placed the small wooden table on the kang and covered it with a table mat, and the brothers also took the initiative to go to the kitchen to help, some serving dishes and some distributing tableware.
Looking at the table full of food, Yu Yu, who had already digested his breakfast, couldn't help it anymore. He quickly packed a lunch box for himself after starting the meal - lettuce as the base, topped it with a layer of rice, some stewed eggs, and a little bit of fermented bean curd sauce. That was not enough, he added all the dishes he wanted on the table. You know what, the taste was much better than it looked, it was so fragrant.
Wang Yuexin, who was standing by, hadn't finished wrapping her first lunch yet. Seeing Yu Yu already eating her homemade lunch, she showed a satisfied look, her blue eyes sparkling, and asked with a little curiosity and amusement, "Is it so delicious?"
"Wow, let me tell you (chew chew chew), although I have never eaten rice dumplings before (chew chew chew), this is the first time in my life, but it is really amazing (chew chew chew)." Yu Yu said with puffed cheeks. Of course, it could also be that he was hungry and thought everything was delicious.
Sister Wang, who was standing by, couldn't stop smiling when she saw how much he liked the food she cooked.
Wang Yuexin took a bite of her own and found it was really delicious.
"Try adding some vegetables or meat in it, it will be more fragrant." Yu Yu added.
Wang Yuexin looked at the traditional lunch box in his hand, which he had taken a bite of. It would not be appropriate to open the lunch box and add things to it after he had already eaten it.
Yu Yu also knew that he couldn't add any more now, so he just put his own in front of him and motioned for him to take a bite and try.
Wang Yuexin didn't hesitate, nor did she care whether Yu Yu had taken a bite or not. She lowered her head and took a bite from the side. Wow, it tasted really good.
"It's delicious, it's really delicious. I must make it this way next time." Wang Yuexin gave a thumbs up.
"How? What do you want to do?" Wang Zhengliang hadn't paid attention to what Wang Yuexin was saying beside him before, he asked curiously.
"DIY your own lunch bag." Wang Yuexin directly recommended it to Wang Zhengliang, "Brother Liang, let me tell you, the lunch bag in Xiaoyu's hand is really amazing."
"Really? What kind of food is that that can be so praised and loved by Chef Wang?"
"If you don't believe me, go and try it."
"Brother Liang, let me give you a taste."
Yu Yu and Wang Yuexin spoke at the same time. Yu Yu was so satisfied with his all-in lunch box that he directly handed the lunch box that he and Wang Yuexin had chewed to Wang Zhengliang.
Wang Zhengliang took a bite and found that there was something in it. Following the principle of sharing good things with everyone, he naturally passed the remaining lunch box to Chen Qiesheng to let him have a try as well. Thus, Yu Yu got the affirmation from Brother Sheng again.
The four of them had "divided" Yu Yubao's first lunch bag. Seeing how happily they were eating, Su Xing, who was sitting on the other side and didn't get a bite - of course, that wasn't the point - and who found it hard to comment on the behavior of four grown men sharing a small lunch bag, frowned and looked at them.
"No matter how delicious it is, you don't have to share one lunch box among four people, right? People who don't know or take my words out of context might think our eldest sister is stingy. There aren't many lettuce leaves in the lunch box, so you can only share it. In fact, there is a pot of lettuce leaves here for you to use.
Yu Yu always understood the true meaning behind Su Xing's words. He ignored his dislike and said happily, "Okay, I know you are anxious, but don't worry, Allen. I will make you a new one now."
"I don't need your lunch box. I can pack it myself."
"Here, it's packed."
"Okay, thank you for the gift, Yu Shao." Su Xing took it quickly, fearing that if he was a second slower, Yu Yu would take the lunch bag back because of his "disdain" and "rejection" just now.
Lu Hu looked at the lunch bag given by Yu Yu in Su Xing's hand, then looked at his own lunch bag which was too salty because the sauce was not even spread evenly on it. The next second, he hurriedly opened his ruthless mouth and finished the lunch bag in his hand in three bites. His mouth was full, and before he could swallow it, he stretched out his hands to Yu Yu, needing to be fed.
Zhang Yuan followed closely behind and also stretched out his round hand.
Yu Yu didn't say anything and packed a big one for Land Rover and a light one for Zhang Yuan.
But every time he ate, it was as if he was eating with his life. Lu Hu ate too quickly, and he snatched half a pumpkin from Zhang Yuan's bowl. The pile of things stuffed into his stomach caused congestion in his esophagus and he choked. He jumped on the kang for a long time, drank several mouthfuls of water handed to him by the program crew before swallowing it, and then continued to eat with his life.
To be honest, watching Land Rover eat is really delicious and appetizing. Yu Yu ate another homemade lunch box after watching it.
While chatting after the meal, Sister Wang finally remembered that she had seen them on TV before and knew that they should be singing stars, but she could not remember their names or faces.
At this point, I have to bring up an old show: Have you ever heard of this song?
There is no doubt that Wang has heard of "Has Anyone Told You" and "Where Has Time Gone", and she can even sing a few lines of the latter. But when she got to Lu Hu, she was not familiar with it. Lu Hu did not mind, but just smiled and said that he still had not promoted it enough.
As for "Guest", Zhang Yuan, who was becoming more and more pretentious each time, chose to drink some water to clear his throat before singing seriously, which made his brothers laugh. Su Xing couldn't help but complain to Yu Yu that his burden was too heavy, and now singing "Guest" actually required such a ritual.
"Maybe in the future he will have to take a look at the almanac before singing." Yu Yu said seriously, "burn incense, pray, and hold a ceremony to open the singing."
"Ahem, stop making noise." After clearing his throat, Zhang Yuan raised his hand and asked Yu Yushao to tickle him. It was his turn to perform!
But is there a possibility that Sister Wang has never heard your song? Yu Yu couldn't help laughing when she saw that Zhang Yuan sang several sentences immersively and Sister Wang didn't respond and was still searching for keywords in her brain. Wang Yuexin couldn't bear to see Zhang Yuan's hard work and expectations go to waste, so he quietly leaned over to Sister Wang's ear and told her to say she had heard it.
Unfortunately, the eldest sister was an honest person. After she politely said "I heard it", she immediately added the word "but", which directly shattered Zhang Yuan's expectations.
It doesn’t matter if you haven’t heard of “The Guest”, my elder sister hasn’t heard of it either.
But she had heard "Miss Pretty" before, when she was watching short videos. This surprised Su Xing that she had a new song that was popular. When Zhang Yuan heard the keyword "short video", he immediately stood up, cleared his throat confidently again, and said with a smug expression: "Sister, you must have heard this song too--"
"The only reason I landed in this life is for you, but freedom, have you ever let me glimpse the kingdom of heaven?"
He was singing Yu Yu's "Bird of Paradise", and the part with the angelic voice in the chorus. Previously, behind the scenes of "Come and See Our Concert", Zhang Yuan had learned from Yu Yu how to sing that angelic voice. Although he was not able to grasp the essence of it immediately, his singing now has about 60% of the original's ability, and it sounds quite decent.
Yu Yu didn't care whether Sister Wang had heard his songs before. His focus was only on how Zhang Yuan could sing out an angelic voice. After Zhang Yuan finished singing, he immediately clapped his hands and said happily, "Not bad, Brother Yuan, you only learned it once and you can achieve such a high level of completion. If you go back and practice again, you will not be an ordinary Bird, you will be a Bird of Paradise."
"Look, your song is called "Bird of Paradise". As a Bird, of course I have to sing Bird of Paradise well." Zhang Yuan put his hands on his hips with some pride, but he was not too proud.
"I've heard this song before. I've seen it all over short videos recently. There are all kinds of versions, sung by men and women." Sister Wang said as a matter of course, and then looked at Yu Yu in surprise, "You're the one singing this song?"
“That’s right, I’m the one who has recently become popular because of “Bird of Paradise.” Yu Yu nodded. Because of the “angel voice” which is a kind of showmanship-like sound technique, the popularity of “Bird of Paradise” was expected.
Of course, his popularity has attracted countless doubts about whether he is a singer who has been retouched in a recording studio. There are also a few people who think that Yu Yu's singing voice is similar to Query's oracle voice and his voice lines are also similar, so they call Yu Yu the Little Q God. Since the fame of "Yu Yu" and "Query" is too different, this nickname is just a joke. Even Q God's fans are too lazy to pay attention, and at most they will say "Don't get involved, no scam, thank you."
How did Yu Yu know about this? Oh, it turned out that it was because a surfing expert with extremely fast internet speed directly posted screenshots of "Little Q God" and "Porcelain Touching" and other sarcastic big eyes in the Tian○ group, and was approached and opened the big gun, so he knew about it.
After having a full meal and resting enough, it's time to work.
The brothers put on their coats and followed Sister Wang to the warehouse, where they prepared to move fifteen bags of rice weighing over a hundred pounds onto the truck and then transport them to the hulling site for rice making.
When Chen Xisheng arrived at the warehouse, while others were still marveling at the large amount of raw grain in Sister Wang's warehouse, his eyes were already on the hand tractor. Having lived in the big city for so many years, he rarely saw the hand tractors on his childhood farm. He immediately excitedly explained the principles of this vehicle to his brothers.
This kind of hand-cranked tractor requires certain skills to start, otherwise the crank handle can easily hit your teeth or break your hand.
Chen Xisheng didn't know how to drive it. In the past, it was the adults in the family who drove it. Yu Yu had driven a tractor but it was not a hand-cranked one, so this had to be done by Sister Wang's boss, Brother Yu. The seven of them were only here to move the raw grain.
Lifting 100 jin of raw grain is different from lifting 100 jin of people. They are the same weight, but people will instinctively seek balance and disperse the points of force when being lifted, so it is easier to lift. But it is different for a 100 jin object. A heavy object is a dead object, and there is no way to disperse the points of force. You can only find the points of force yourself or use brute force to lift it.
Seeing that they were all pale and thin and didn't look like they had ever done physical work, Sister Wang was worried that they couldn't endure the hardship, so she asked her husband to move the things they couldn't move.
Sister Wang had good intentions, but what she said was too blunt. How could the brothers bear to hear such doubts? They were grown men who had grown stronger than eagles under Yu Yu's internal circulation!
Lu Hu rolled up his sleeves and picked up a big bag of raw grain...forgive him for not being able to lift it.
Wang Zhengliang was not convinced and tried to pull it... Sorry, he couldn't pull it either.
Wang Yuexin was so impatient that he took off his clothes and climbed up Yuanliang Mountain. He wanted to clear his name and that of his brothers!
Chen Xiansheng took off his clothes and was about to climb up to help, but was stopped by Yu Yu. What was he doing? How could he let the older brothers go up when he was a young and strong man?
"Brother Sheng, how can I let you do this kind of physical work like lifting weights? Yue Xin, you come down and pick it up from the car, and I'll carry it. The two of us should work together faster."
Yu Yu said as he climbed up and drove Wang Yuexin to the car. He said that Wang Yuexin would take it from below, but in fact, Yu Yu had automatically placed the approximate positions in order when he took it down, so he only needed to make a slight adjustment.
As for the remaining brothers, it seemed that they could only help the car and refuel.
