I put you in charge of the child, and you raised a monster!

The next morning.

The production team finally stopped scheduling any more thrilling events.

There were no incidents at the airport.

No World Cup predictions.

No planes made emergency landings.

Zhao Lei didn't get his pants wet either.

In the hotel restaurant, sunlight streamed in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the tables were set with hot porridge, steamed buns, eggs, wontons, and fruit.

Shen Ling'er sat next to Yang Mi, slowly drinking her porridge with a small spoon.

Today, unusually, she didn't immediately start observing who was acting strangely; instead, she diligently ate half a bowl of food first.

The director sat not far away, watching this scene, his eyes revealing a long-lost sense of peace.

The assistant director whispered, "Director, can we finally relax a bit today?"

The director did not answer immediately.

He first looked at Shen Ling'er.

Shen Ling'er was still drinking her porridge.

He glanced at Zhao Lei again.

Zhao Lei is putting a steamed bun on his plate.

So far, there has been no pouring of water, no shouting, and no attempt to lure anyone in.

The director then slowly nodded.

"It should be possible."

The assistant director breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's good."

The voice just fell.

Zhao Lei suddenly looked up and said to the camera in a serious tone, "Dear viewers, after the World Cup episode and the flight back home incident, we have finally returned to our peaceful daily lives today."

The director's hand trembled.

Shen Ling'er looked up at him.

Zhao Lei immediately froze.

"What's wrong?"

Shen Ling'er said seriously, "Every time you say you've finally calmed down, things never really calm down afterwards."

Zhao Lei: "..."

Bai Sisi smiled and put the steamed bun into his bowl.

"Why don't you eat first?"

Zhao Lei muttered to himself, "I was just summarizing things up, wasn't I?"

Shen Ling'er took a sip of porridge.

"Summaries are fine, but don't make them sound like guarantees."

Zhao Lei paused for two seconds, then nodded.

"clear."

The comments section was filled with laughter.

"Hahaha, Teacher Ling'er is wary of Zhao Lei's metaphysical remarks."

Zhao Lei: Today is peaceful. Director: Please shut up.

"After the plane incident, the production team now treats Zhao Lei's speech like a risk warning."

"Ling'er can finally eat breakfast in peace. It's been such a long time."

"Now when I watch her drink porridge, I feel like she'll be able to figure out where the porridge came from in the next second."

Shen Ling'er glanced at the small wontons on the table and suddenly asked, "Who made these wontons?"

The director was taken aback.

"Hotel kitchen, please."

Shen Ling'er nodded.

"The kitchen lady has a very steady hand."

Zhao Lei's eyes lit up instantly.

"You can tell from that?"

Shen Ling'er scooped up the small wontons and explained earnestly, "The edges of the wonton wrappers were pinched very evenly, the filling didn't leak out, and the size is about the same."

"Being able to wrap it like this shows that you didn't learn it on the spot, and you weren't in a rush while wrapping it."

Zhao Lei put down his chopsticks and stared at the wontons in the bowl for a long time.

"When I used to eat wontons, all I cared about was whether they tasted good or not."

Shen Ling'er looked at him.

"That's fine too. You don't have to force yourself to watch so much."

Zhao Lei: "..."

Bai Sisi laughed out loud.

"Ling'er means that you are suited to the simple route."

Shen Ling'er nodded.

"Simplicity is good too, just don't make it complicated."

Zhao Lei clutched his chest.

"I had just taken a bite of breakfast when I was precisely located."

Zhou Chen couldn't help but laugh.

"Actually, Ling'er is right. Many things seem ordinary, but being able to do them well takes a long time of practice."

Upon hearing this, Chen Doudou also looked down at her little bun.

He observed carefully for a long time.

Then he said, "This steamed bun is also amazing."

Lin Jia was somewhat surprised.

"What did you figure out?"

Chen Doudou was very serious.

"It has meat inside."

Everyone: "..."

Shen Ling'er nodded.

"That's the key point too."

Chen Doudou was immediately happy.

"Ling'er is right!"

Zhao Lei laughed so hard he almost spat out his soy milk.

"DouDou officially begins her food observation studies today."

Chen Hao rubbed his forehead.

"His observation direction has remained very stable."

After breakfast, the director finally announced the arrangements for the next stage.

"Everyone, take a day off. We'll start our new career experience tomorrow."

Several guests looked at him.

Zhao Lei immediately sat up straight.

"Director, what is it this time?"

The director didn't keep us in suspense this time.

"Experience traditional crafts."

"The production team contacted a long-established woodworking workshop, where everyone will experience woodworking, mortise and tenon joints, carving, and some simple handicrafts."

Upon hearing this, everyone visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

Bai Sisi smiled and said, "This is good, it's quiet and safe."

Zhou Chen nodded.

"Children can also get their hands dirty and make something."

Chen Hao looked at Chen Doudou.

"Just don't eat the wood like it's a cookie."

Chen Doudou nodded seriously.

"I know you can't eat wood."

Shen Ling'er raised her eyes when she heard the word "carpentry".

Zhao Lei immediately noticed her reaction.

"Teacher Ling'er, are you interested in this?"

Shen Ling'er nodded.

"good."

Zhao Lei: "This 'not bad' sounds quite substantial."

Shen Ling'er said earnestly, "Wood is quite interesting. It looks hard, but it actually has direction. If you go with the grain, it's less effort; if you go against the grain, it's easy to crack."

The dining table fell silent for a moment.

The director had just picked up his water glass when he silently put it down again.

The assistant director whispered, "Director, is she going to do it again?"

The director's expression was complex.

Don't ask.

Zhao Lei couldn't hold back any longer.

"Teacher Ling'er, did you do carpentry before?"

Shen Ling'er thought for a moment.

"My dad repaired chairs; I watched him do it."

Upon hearing this, Yang Mi couldn't help but laugh.

"Didn't you complain that your dad was too slow at fixing it last time?"

Shen Ling'er was very serious.

"Because he could have been faster."

Zhao Lei: "..."

Bai Sisi: "..."

director:"……"

The live chat exploded instantly.

"Here he comes! Mr. Shen is fixing chairs as usual!"

"Other people's dads fix chairs: as long as they can be sat on."

Shen Fei repairs chairs: His daughter complains he's too slow.

"What does Ling'er's reaction mean? It means she truly understood!"

"The woodworking episode is a sure thing; I'm already looking forward to seeing how she'll teach the master craftsman."

"No, please, the old master is getting on in years, don't be shocked."

The director's eyelids twitched when he saw the comments on the screen.

He suddenly felt a little regretful.

The reason I chose the woodworking workshop was because it was a quiet place.

No need to run.

No need to fly.

There's no need to deal with international organizations.

At most, the children would use sandpaper to sand the wood and make a small ornament.

But now, looking at Shen Ling'er's calm little face, he suddenly had a bad feeling.

This kid can figure out tactics from watching football.

You can tell the center of gravity of a criminal by looking at the plane.

You can tell from the way the kitchen staff makes the wontons that their hands are steady.

Look at the wood...

The director dared not think any further.

Zhao Lei, however, was very excited.

"Dear viewers, the woodworking episode officially begins tomorrow!"

"After experiencing the World Cup and the airplane incident, Teacher Ling'er will enter the field of traditional crafts."

"I already had a feeling about it."

Shen Ling'er looked up.

"You'd better not have it."

Zhao Lei: "..."

Chapter 171

The next morning, the production crew visited an old woodworking workshop on the outskirts of the city.

The workshop is small, but it has a lot of character.

An old wooden sign hangs at the entrance, which reads "Dexing Woodwork".

The yard was piled with various kinds of wood, including dark walnut, light beech, and several pieces of old elm that had been planed flat.

There was a faint scent of wood in the air.

It doesn't smell like perfume; it's a clean, simple woody scent.

As soon as Zhao Mengmeng entered the room, she whispered, "It smells so good here."

Bai Sisi smiled and said, "This smells like wood."

Zhou Xiaoyu also looked curiously at the timber in the yard.

"Can all of these be made into chairs?"

Zhou Chen nodded.

"It should be able to make a lot of things, chairs, tables, cabinets."

Chen Doudou looked at the wood and asked, "Can it be used to make bowls?"

Lin Jia did not stop him this time.

"A wooden bowl is also acceptable."

Chen Doudou's eyes lit up.

"Then this profession is useful."

Shen Ling'er nodded.

"Anything that can hold food is quite useful."

Zhao Lei immediately chimed in: "The first rule of Teacher Ling'er's professional evaluation system is whether she can serve meals."

Shen Ling'er looked at him.

"You're summarizing faster and faster now."

Zhao Lei instantly felt smug.

"I call this growing up."

Bai Sisi smiled and reminded him, "Growth is good, but don't get arrogant."

The workshop's master craftsman, surnamed Lu, was over sixty years old, with gray hair, wide hands, and thick calluses on his knuckles.

He looked at the group of celebrities and children and smiled warmly.

"There's no need for everyone to be nervous today."

"Carpentry requires patience; speed is not the answer."

"The children will start with the simplest sanding and assembly."

Upon hearing "not seeking speed," Zhao Lei immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's good, I'm good at going slow."

Shen Ling'er looked at him.

"You're good at being slow and talkative."

Zhao Lei: "..."

Master Lu hadn't watched many variety shows, so he paused for a moment when he heard this, then burst out laughing.

"That child is really blunt."

Shen Ling'er looked up at him.

"I'm telling the truth."

Master Lu was even happier.

"Okay, honesty is good. You have to be honest when you're doing carpentry."

The viewers in the live stream immediately perked up.

"Master Lu doesn't even know who he's facing."

"Master, hold on, Teacher Ling'er is here."

"Today's pace was so comfortable, finally nothing major happened."

"The woodworking episode is great, watching the kids do crafts."

"I bet Ling'er can spot the problem with the wood within five minutes."

The production team first arranged for everyone to visit the workshop.

Master Lu picked up a piece of wood and began explaining it to the children.

"Look, there are lines on this wood. When making things, you have to follow its natural grain."

"Wherever it grows, that's where the force goes."

"If you insist on twisting it, it will crack."

Shen Ling'er listened very attentively.

Zhao Lei quietly moved closer.

"Teacher Ling'er, this is the same as what you said yesterday."

Shen Ling'er nodded.

"Because wood doesn't change just because a different craftsman makes it."

Zhao Lei: "..."

Master Lu picked up a plane and gently pushed it across the wooden board.

A thin roll of wood shavings emerged from the planer.

The children's eyes lit up.

Zhao Mengmeng exclaimed softly, "It looks like a rolled-up piece of paper!"

Zhou Xiaoyu also clapped.

"So beautiful."

Chen Doudou stared at the wooden flower for a long time.

"This can't be eaten, can it?"

Lin Jia immediately said, "No."

Chen Doudou was a little disappointed.

Shen Ling'er added, "It will prick your mouth if you eat it."

Chen Doudou instantly became serious.

"Then I won't eat it."

Master Lu laughed so hard his beard almost trembled.

"This kid is quite interesting."
