Song Tan's Notes

Chapter 1419 1419. Mysterious Gift

Song Tan discussed going out with Lu Chuan at home, and told his family about it after dinner.

Everyone was very calm: "It's time to have fun. May Day is coming soon. There will be many people on the road. Let's take this opportunity to go shopping."

Only Lu Jing hesitated for a moment, then looked at her son's now white jade-like face and said, "No one would recognize you if they saw you like this, right?"

Everyone at the table knows who is who.

Lu Chuan nodded and picked up a piece of stewed oxtail for his mother: "Don't worry."

  The oxtail was stewed until it was soft and tender, with a rich aroma. The soup was almost melting into gelatin. The slightly spicy taste stimulated her taste buds, causing her to sigh for a moment:

"Oh! Mom didn't plan to eat! She was planning to go back and make a salad with those two celebrities to lose weight!"

The difference is that celebrities use purchased ingredients, while she uses ingredients from Tan Tan’s home.

But the oxtail was already in the bowl. Oops, how come I accidentally took a bite of it...

Lu Jing then finished her meal in tears, and at the same time tried some other dishes such as braised beef tendon and stir-fried beef to calm her nerves - this kind of high-quality protein doesn't make you gain weight, so having another bite won't affect anything... right?

The food was a bit spicy, so my seventh cousin brought me a large bowl of peach gum and white fungus soup: "Want some? The peach trees on the mountain don't produce much peach gum, so I picked all of it when I had time... Science now says it has no nutritional value, but I think we should still listen to our Chinese medicine!"

"Can Western medicine explain clearly how Chinese medicine can replenish qi and blood?"

Uncle Seven had his own theory, and now he asked everyone, "If it's sunny tomorrow at noon, I'll chill a bowl of pickled peach sweet and sour syrup. Do you want some?"

When they heard about pickled green peaches, everyone's mouths watered immediately. The peach gum and white fungus soup on the table was poured into the bowls. The filial son Lu Chuan even asked Lu Jing considerately: "Mom, do you want to drink this soup?"

Lu Jing looked at the translucent amber-brown peach gum in the bowl, and the white fungus that was as soft and chewy as the peach gum...

"Drink it! It's not that Mom is not serious about losing weight, it's mainly because this is our first time drinking this peach gum! Let's warm up the salad today, and I'll start seriously tomorrow. Don't call me for dinner tomorrow!"

This was said to the people at the table.

Everybody picked up their bowls to drink the soup, and no one really paid attention to her... She has been talking about losing weight since the Chinese New Year, and she hasn't skipped a meal until now. There's nothing much to say, we're all used to it.

Lu Jing:......

So angry! She is really serious about losing weight! Starting tomorrow, she will follow the diet of two skinny stars!

My seventh cousin is now somewhat interested in the popular low-fat meal on the Internet, and asked enthusiastically: "Do you want shrimp and eggs? If you do, take some away tonight!"

Lu Jing:......

Shrimp, put a trap in the pond, and take it out in the morning, the little river shrimps are still alive and kicking! Whether it is fried with chives or chopped green onions, the taste...

She drank a mouthful of Tremella soup quietly, and then said without hesitation: "Yes!"

After the mother and son went to the B&B, Song Tan said to Wu Lan, "Mom, I have a few express deliveries coming tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Please ask my dad to help pick them up."

There haven't been any express deliveries recently, so naturally Brother Zhang didn't come. Wu Lan was a little curious: "What express delivery? Are you in a hurry?" Song Tan laughed: "Lu Chuan's birthday is on the seventh day of May. I bought a gift in advance and gave it to him then... Mom, you will..."

She leaned over to give him some advice, and suddenly felt lucky that Lu Chuan had moved back to the B&B. Otherwise, if they both lived on the second floor, the secret would be exposed sooner or later.

Moreover, at the B&B, the agent was sitting in the lobby looking at the colorful flowers under the night lights. He was watching the photographer and assistant outside constantly looking for angles and recording the equipment and clothing to be prepared for tomorrow. His eyes were bright and he looked energetic, obviously full of energy.

  Seeing the mother and son come back, the agent's eyes were glued to them again - no matter how you look at it, their appearance and temperament are still outstanding, are they really not considering signing with a company?

Even if you don’t want to be a star, you can be an internet celebrity!

But neither mother nor son gave each other a glance. Lu Chuan went upstairs directly, while Lu Jing asked considerately in the lobby, "Are the salads for the two guests ready now?"

"Do not."

The agent said coldly: "They drank so much milk tea in the afternoon, and they have to be on camera tomorrow so they can't have a full stomach. They should just eat a boiled egg."

Lu Jing: ...How can there be "that much"?! How could she not know that she was the one who served the milk tea? It was only half a cup!

  Think about how skinny they are... Oh, they still want to trick their Xiaochuan into becoming a star. He will starve to hypoglycemia in less than a year. No way!

But she still advised seriously: "I'd better prepare some. Milk tea is really refreshing. I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep all night. It's so uncomfortable to be so hungry in the middle of the night!"

The agent is not afraid at all!

But when she saw Lu Jing's sincere expression, she thought that the other party might be feeling guilty for taking such a large sum of money for preparing meals without doing any work?

So he nodded and said, "Then cook two more eggs. I won't eat them."

After thinking for a moment, he added, "Let's prepare one for the photographer, too—never mind, I'll go ask them what they want to eat."

The photographer didn't care about the food. He was absorbed in testing the lens. Hearing this, he just said casually: "What special midnight snack do you have? Give me one at twelve o'clock."

  Lu Jing: ...What's so special about this place? It's just the ingredients from Tan Tan's family!

"That's quite expensive. The organic vegetables here have won national awards—" She thought for a moment and tentatively quoted a price: "I'll make you a simple country-style sandwich tonight. Carbs will help you sleep better—if it's ordinary ingredients, I won't charge you. If I use our special ingredients, it'll be 199 each."

  199 one?

Even though prices in the entertainment industry are staggering, the agent almost shouted out: I'm not a sucker!

But thinking about the free cup of milk tea provided in the afternoon, with the mentality of "since I'm here, I'd like to try it and see why it's so expensive", and then looking at the interested look of the photographer who was hired at a high price, I nodded in agreement.

"Come on, two... come on, three!"

If the photographer can eat it, she can eat it too!

Seeing Lu Jing's satisfied smile, as if praising her wisdom, the agent couldn't help asking, "If your son doesn't want to be a star, do you want to give it a try? There are many career options for middle-aged and elderly actors now, and you can even date a domineering CEO!"

Lu Jing is good-looking, photogenic, and has a temperament that comes with years of experience. Moreover, because she is a newcomer, she is not as expensive as other veteran actors...

If you are not picky about the script, there is still a lot of market.

Their company's branch's skits are also quite popular!

good night!
