I'm a web novelist, and you want me to work in the entertainment industry?

We ate lunch in the yard.

This noon, Teacher Yan made four dishes and a soup: scrambled eggs with tomatoes, sweet and sour pork ribs, stir-fried seasonal vegetables, braised crucian carp, and a pot of seaweed soup.

The dishes all looked good and tasted great.

As a result, the lunch went exceptionally smoothly, with the food and soup on the table being consumed at a steady pace.

The viewers in the live chat were astonished by this scene:

[Mom, did you see that? I never thought I'd see Teacher Yan cook a normal meal!]

【No, I thought Teacher Yan was going to do something funny, but you didn't. Aren't you just messing with me?】

So Teacher Yan really knows how to cook? I watched Che Ge eat, and I don't believe he could eat so calmly if there was a problem.

[Teacher Yan simply loves innovation, but innovation always requires hard work and sacrifice, doesn't she understand that!?]

[Apologize to Teacher Yan, you bastards!]

And so, lunch came to an end.

The six people sat at the table, each entering a state of blissful sagehood after a satisfying meal.

Yan Lei leaned back in his chair, slowly sipping his tea from his thermos. His gaze swept over the empty plate on the table, and a sense of satisfaction welled up within him.

Xia Ziyi leaned on Xu Anan's shoulder and yawned slightly.

Henry Lau also stopped fawning over the girls, his eyes unconsciously looking ahead.

Tian Xiwei and Cheng Che both looked up at the osmanthus tree in the yard, their actions and expressions were exactly the same.

At this moment, Yan Lei felt that it was about time and put down the thermos in his hand.

"Today is the first day. Wang Zheng said there are no tasks this afternoon, and we can arrange the time ourselves," he said.

Everyone turned their attention to him, waiting for him to speak.

"I was thinking, since we've come all the way to Hangzhou," Yan Lei continued, a strange smile appearing on his face, "there's one dish we absolutely must try."

"I know, I know!" Henry Lau blurted out, "It's a fish from West Lake, right!"

"That's right." Yan Lei nodded in agreement, not paying attention to Liu Xianhua's accent.

"So, Teacher Yan, do you mean we should go to the restaurant this afternoon for West Lake Fish in Vinegar Sauce?" Xia Ziyi asked innocently.

Tian Xiwei and Xu Anan also became interested.

Who hasn't seen West Lake Fish in Vinegar Sauce online?

Everyone said it tasted awful... so she came to see what was going on!

Only Cheng Che felt that something was amiss.

Because the smile on Teacher Yan's face seemed somewhat familiar...

"Xia guessed half right," Yan Lei chuckled. "Wang Zheng told me there's a fishpond nearby that belongs to our family, and it has all kinds of fish in it."

"So I was thinking, why don't we go fishing together this afternoon, and then I'll personally cook an authentic West Lake Vinegar Fish for everyone to try!"

"How is it?" He looked at everyone expectantly.

[No wonder lunch was so normal; it turns out Teacher Yan was waiting for us here!]

[666 When did Teacher Yan read the Art of War? He's still using that "courtesy before force" approach.]

Actually, looking at it from another perspective, Professor Yan's spirit of continuous innovation and progress is something we should all learn from.

"I think it's a good idea!" Henry Lau was the first to agree.

The West Lake Fish in Vinegar Sauce wasn't important; he mainly wanted to show off his fishing skills.

Show off your masculine prowess.

"I think that's fine too," Cheng Che said at this point.

Cheng Che's thinking was simple—anyway, the whole world was saying that West Lake Fish in Vinegar Sauce was terrible.

Since that's the case, whether Teacher Yan's version is authentic or not, there's not much room for error, so there's no harm in giving it a try.

After all, which netizen who has never been to Hangzhou wouldn't be curious about the taste of West Lake Fish in Vinegar Sauce?

"Then I agree too," Tian Xiwei added.

Tian Xiwei's thinking was simple—Cheng Che agreed, so she would accompany one of them.

"I have no objection either," Xu Anan said.

When Xu Anan saw Xiao Tian and Cheng Che acting like husband and wife, she simply followed without explanation!

Xia Ziyi looked and saw that all three of her friends had agreed, so she...

"Me too!"

Seeing the five kids' wholehearted support, Yan Lei was moved to tears.

There is true kindness in the world!

Roar!

Kids, don't worry, I will do my best to make this West Lake Vinegar Fish delicious!

……

……

After lunch, the six people moved to the living room.

Several rattan sofas were arranged in a circle, with a low table in the middle and a rug underneath.

Yan Lei was not there—he was said to have gone to find fishing equipment such as fishing rods.

Xia Ziyi nestled on a single sofa, half asleep.

Xu Anan sat beside her, still holding a book in his hands, but not reading it.

Because Henry Lau was sitting next to her and was talking to her the whole time.

"Do you like reading? Actually, I like it a lot too. I often read at home. What kind of books do you like to read...?"

Cheng Che and Tian Xiwei sat opposite them. Tian Xiwei leaned her head on the sofa and yawned.

"Tired?" Cheng Che turned his head to look at her.

"A little." Tian Xiwei rubbed her eyes, her voice softer than usual.

"Spring drowsiness and autumn fatigue are normal. You can go back to your room and get some sleep," Cheng Che said.

"Spring drowsiness and autumn fatigue...that sounds like a phrase from my junior high school teacher." Tian Xiwei smiled.

Her eyes suddenly lit up, like a kitten with a mischievous idea.

Cheng Che.

"Um?"

"You're a very talented writer, aren't you?" She emphasized the words "very talented".

"...What do you want to do?" Cheng Che looked at her warily.

People often say that Cheng Che is always ripping off others.

But have people ever seen that Tian Xiwei is constantly setting traps for Cheng Che?

"Tell me a story, okay?" She clasped her hands together and leaned closer to Cheng Che.

"Just tell me one, any type is fine, I'm not picky!"

"Tell a story?" Xia Ziyi suddenly jumped up from her half-asleep state, as if she had triggered some key word. "What story? Can I listen?"

Xu Anan and Liu Xianhua also stopped talking and looked at Cheng Che with expectant eyes.

"Why are you all so energetic all of a sudden?" Cheng Che touched his nose.

Okay, okay, the essence of humanity is to join in the fun.

"Look, look, everyone wants to hear it!" Tian Xiwei pressed her advantage, "Just tell us one!"

Please~

"!!??"

【? ? ? ? ? ? 】

[Ah, I'm dead, I'm dead, I'm dead (crawling in a dark, twisted, ugly, evil, and frantic manner)]

【Super! Super! Super! I don't care what you think, but right now, immediately, tell her a story! That's an order!】

[A story? I'll give you a number... I'll keep telling it until she's satisfied, until she dies!!!]

Cheng Che smiled.

You're using this to test your cadres?

Which cadre can withstand this test?

Speak! Just speak!
