Dressed as a cannon fodder, her mother became popular in variety shows

Chapter 44
In the absence of air-conditioning fans, eating in a small courtyard is undoubtedly the coolest.

One of Ji An shouted for dinner, no need to say anything, everyone started to move.

It was nearly one o'clock, and everyone's stomach was growling with hunger.

Xu Yifei's face was flushed red from burning the fire in front of the stove for a long time.

The makeup on the face was not set with makeup powder, and with sweating, it was so blurry that I couldn't see it.

When Ji Anzhi was washing the vegetables, he washed his face by the way. Even though the soup was watery, it was better than a big face.

Before going out from the kitchen, Ji Anzhi kindly took out a piece of paper for her and asked her to wipe her face clean.

Although Xu Yifei's bare face is not as good-looking as Ji Anzhi's, after all, she has used Xuejiwan for so long, she still looks much more beautiful than ordinary people.

Grapes are still planted in the small courtyard, and the table is placed under the grape arbor.

The breeze was blowing, and the grapes on the racks were swaying, which was quite interesting.

Although there are only four dishes on the table, each of them has a full portion. The rice in the big pot tastes better than the rice cooker.

The crunchy rice crust at the bottom of the pot, paired with fish head soup or chicken soup, is simply a must.

The cornmeal pancakes in the ground pot chicken absorb the essence of the soup, so fresh that people can swallow their tongues.

Huo Nanchen finished two large bowls of rice in one go, and also ate two pieces of corn tortillas. There was a hill of bones piled up on the seat where he sat, and he knew that he had eaten a lot of food.

If his manager was here, he would definitely hold him back.

Mina blinked her big watery eyes and looked at Huo Nanchen worriedly.

Seeing that he was still moving his chopsticks, he frowned and said:
"Brother Huo, your carbohydrate intake today has exceeded the standard. If you continue to eat, you will gain weight. As artists, we should do a good job in body management. This is a basic professional quality. This is for your own good. I'm the one who talks too much."

Everyone was eating with great appetite. Hearing what she said, they all raised their heads in surprise.

Huo Nanchen paused for a moment, then swallowed the food in his mouth unhurriedly, raised his head and looked at her distantly, and said unceremoniously:
"Are we familiar? I don't seem to know you. It seems a little inappropriate for you to ask me about this."

Huo Nanchen's expression was full of sarcasm, and Mina's face was ruthlessly swept to the ground by him.

She suppressed her anger with embarrassment and said:

"How could it be inappropriate? I am your pumpkin fan and your fan, so it is only natural for me to supervise you."

Huo Nanchen seemed to have heard the big joke, and mocked:

"If it's my pumpkin powder, you can tell me what to do with my life, will my life go on?
After all, I have so much pumpkin powder, and if one person makes one request, and I still have to do it, then I don’t have to work hard. "

What he said was indifferent, and everyone seemed to be watching a joke again, and no one spoke up.

Seeing her daughter being wronged, Xu Yifei quickly said:
"Huo Tianwang is still too young. It's not good to be so arrogant. Our Nana is both your colleague and your fan. What I say is really for your own good. If you don't accept it, you can't hurt her self-esteem like this. Ms. Ji, don't you think so?"

Ji Anzhi stopped holding the food, put down his chopsticks, and said to Mina:

"It's meal time now, not a fan meeting, let alone a peer exchange meeting, our children are hungry and want to eat, what's bothering you?
If you want to eat, eat it, if you don't eat it, get out. I made it for you ready-made, so that you can stay full? "

As soon as Ji Anzhi said these words, Ji Mingmei couldn't help laughing. She put a big chicken leg into Huo Nanchen's bowl, and said with a smile:

"Brother, eat more. If we get fat, we will go back and inherit the family business."

Everyone was amused by her words and burst into laughter. Huo Nanchen didn't rely on his appearance for a living. His talent in music creation was enough to make him stand at the top of the entertainment industry.

One day he gets tired of playing, the Huo family still has tens of billions of property waiting for him to inherit.

Mina lost all face at this moment, facing everyone's taunting eyes, she couldn't stand it any longer, dropped her chopsticks and ran away.

Xu Yifei quickly stood up and called her, Mina said in a crying voice:

"I'm full, I want to go to sleep for a while, you can eat slowly, don't worry about me."

Xu Yifei was naturally dissatisfied when her daughter was wronged, and said to Ji Anzhi unceremoniously:
"Ms. Ji, shouldn't you take care of it? There are so many of you bullying Nana in our family. If this scene is broadcast, won't you be afraid of being bullied online?"

Ji Anzhi didn't even look at her, he ate his meal on his own, swallowed the food in his mouth, and then said sarcastically:

"Do you, mother and daughter, have this charisma? The audience is not a brainless idiot, do they really have no ability to distinguish? Do you know what it means to be the first to flirt?"

Xu Yifei was so angry that her nose was about to turn crooked at her words, and she stared straight at her without daring to speak.

Ji Anzhi's appetite was turned off by her watching. The food was so hot after cooking that he lost his appetite, so he couldn't survive even trying to eat some food.

Her body was full of low air pressure, she looked at Xu Yifei with a sense of oppression, and warned coldly:

"If you continue to look at me like this, don't force me to cut out your eyeballs and use them as light bulbs to step on."

Her viciousness did not seem to be fake, Xu Yifei recalled what happened at the back of the villa in cold sweat, and lowered her head in awe.

When Ji Anzhi got angry, everyone was as quiet as a cicada.

The coercion on her body is too heavy, it is definitely not something that ordinary people can have.

Sensing everyone's reaction, Ji Anzhi restrained himself, looked at Teacher Yu with a smile on his face, and asked with a smile:

"Mr. Yu, based on the scene I just played, it shouldn't be a problem to win the Hundred Flowers Award, right?"

Teacher Yu came back to his senses, and said in a serious manner:

"The Hundred Flowers Award is not enough, at least it must be the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actress."

The two of them made jokes like this, and the atmosphere finally got better again. Xu Yifei ate in silence, not daring to continue being a monster.

Everyone knew in their hearts that Xu Yifei was a paper tiger in front of Ji Anzhi, truly unfathomable, and it was Ji Anzhi who could not be easily offended.

After dinner, everyone helped to bring the plate to the well, An Lin rolled up her sleeves to wash it, and Jiang Nan helped wash it with clean water.

Back in the room, Ji Anzhi was covered in sweat and felt sticky and uncomfortable.

She was actually very tired and wanted to sleep for a while, but she was uncomfortable and couldn't fall asleep.

Ji Mingmei is also considerate, seeing her mother tossing and turning and unable to sleep, she asked softly:
"Mom, is it too hot to sleep? Let me fan you?"

Ji Anzhi waved his hand and refused:
"It's okay to be hot, but my body is sticky and uncomfortable. You can sleep in your own. I don't know how the program team will toss at night."

Ji Mingmei quickly sat up, put on her slippers, and said:
"I'm still young, so staying up late is not a problem. I'll go and boil some hot water for you, so you can take a bath quickly."

As soon as she opened the door, Ji Mingmei was startled when she saw Huo Nanchen raising her hand to knock on the door.

He blamed: "Brother, what are you going to do? You scared me to death by keeping silent."

Huo Nanchen rubbed her hair and said in a low voice:
"I guess my aunt sweated a lot from cooking, and she definitely needs to take a bath, so I lit the charcoal stove and boiled a large pot of hot water, and wanted to ask you to take a bath."

Ji Mingmei didn't expect her brother to be so considerate, with crooked smiles.

"Thank you brother, I'm going to call mom right now."

Sure enough, after taking a shower and changing into clean clothes, I felt like I was alive again.

In the room on the other side, Mina couldn't help crying.

Xu Yifei said irritably:

"Cry, cry, cry, you know how to cry. You don't have the ability to fart. If you fall in love with Huo Nanchen, you will find a way to take him down. Why are there so many tears?"

Mina said stiffly: "I can't just push it around. I was clearly doing it for his own good just now, but he is so unreasonable."

Xu Yifei rubbed her temples with a headache, and said helplessly:

"You have to know that Huo Nanchen is different from your father.

He is not empty, talented and without family background, he can let you call and drink, you have to warm his heart gently and carefully.

It's also because I haven't set a good example for you, so this matter can't be rushed. You should find the right opportunity and apologize to him in private. "

Mina said reluctantly: "I don't want to apologize to him, I'm obviously right."

Xu Yifei said impatiently:
"If you don't care about him and don't want to be the young mistress of the Huo family, then just pretend I didn't say it. If you have ambitions, you must learn to be humble."

Mina was crying pitifully, feeling somewhat hesitant and tangled in her heart.

In the afternoon, the director didn't play tricks, they took a good nap.

Huo Nanchen also took Ji Mingmei and the others for a stroll outside. He Can got along with Huo Nanchen without any notice.

As much as they had fun, Mina felt as depressed as she was at home alone.

Considering the limited funds, we didn't do too much in the evening.

After dinner, Director Zhang shouted with a loudspeaker:

"Tomorrow there will be a gentleman visiting the mansion. He likes the tea ceremony. If he is satisfied, he will accept Huo Nanchen as a student, so that he will have a chance in the imperial examination. Therefore, you have to go to the market to buy all the necessary items at night."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay when they heard it, Teacher Yu wondered:
"We only drink tea in the tea house, how can we make tea ourselves, we must have tea cakes?"

Ji Anzhi knew that this was deliberately made things difficult by the program crew, so he said with a smile:

"I know a little bit about tea ceremony, but I don't know if buying a set of tea sets will be enough for our living expenses."

Huo Nanchen said: "Let's go to the night market to have a look first. When I went out, I found that the street market is very lively. It should be good at night."

Mina quickly agreed:
"Yes, yes, we haven't seen an ancient night market yet, let's go and see it together."

Huo Nanchen didn't quite understand, how could this woman pretend that what happened before didn't happen, so she ignored her and looked at Ji Anzhi instead.

Anyway, it is certain that the program group will make troubles. Even if they want to hide, they will probably make new troubles, so let's just follow them.

"Then let's pack up quickly and go back early."

Everyone nodded in high spirits and agreed. In ancient times, a strict curfew system was implemented at night. Obviously, the program group ignored this point.

The night market in the film and television base looks good, it really looks like that, the lights are bright and pedestrians come and go.

There are still a lot of snacks in the street market, but unfortunately they don't have much money on them, so they can only watch.

Seeing Huo Nanchen looking around, Mina thoughtfully suggested:
"I heard that there was a Goulan House in ancient times where we could watch performances. Shall we go and see it?"

Jiang Nan said unceremoniously: "Do you have any funds? If so, you can invite us to go. The purpose of our visit is not only to watch some free and free night scenes, but also to buy tea sets. Don't ask too much. "

Mina said unwillingly:

"We're just going to see it, and we don't have to pay for it. Is it necessary for you to feel like you've been shot?"

Mina didn't dare to confront Ji Mingmei, but she was not afraid of Jiang Nan at all. Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Ji Anzhi spoke up.

"What's the fuss, if you want to quarrel, go back and quarrel, don't be annoying here."

Everyone didn't dare to say anything, Teacher Yu suddenly pointed to the shop in front of him and said:

"There's a tea set over there, let's go and have a look first."

Diverting everyone's attention, he didn't forget to give Jiang Nan a glance, Jiang Nan stuck out her tongue indifferently.

Everyone went straight to the shop in front, and as soon as they entered the shop, they saw the shopkeeper, dressed in ancient costumes, greeted him with a smile, and wanted to introduce it to everyone very professionally.

It's a pity that few people present are knowledgeable, just like listening to popular science.

Only Ji Anzhi carefully selected a purple clay pot that they could afford at present.

Just as they were about to pay and leave, they suddenly heard an exclamation. When everyone looked back, they saw Mina tripped for some reason and lying on the shelf where the teapots were placed.

The shelf was not fixed, it was just overwhelmed by her, and all the teapots on the shelf fell to the ground and smashed to pieces.

Everyone was dumbfounded, and the shopkeeper said weepingly:
"Hey~ You bastards, your heart aches for me so badly, it's fine if you don't have money, and you've ruined so many treasures of mine, you don't want to leave without compensation."

Mina lay on the shelf so frightened that she burst into tears, she said in a crying voice:

"I didn't do it on purpose. I don't know who bumped into me. My legs and feet are inconvenient. I really can't blame me."

Xu Yifei was also stunned by the accident, Ji Anzhi reprimanded:

"Why are you crying? Why don't you get up quickly and see if your hands are hurt? Why are you still looking stupidly?"

The last sentence was addressed to Xu Yifei, Xu Yifei finally recovered after being called out like this, and hurried to help her daughter.

After careful inspection, fortunately no one was injured, Ji Anzhi resigned to his fate and took out the few hundred coins left in his hand, and handed them all to the shopkeeper.

He said sincerely: "Forgive me, the shopkeeper, we only have so much money at the moment, but we can write an IOU and guarantee full compensation."

Holding the copper coin, the shopkeeper said dissatisfiedly:

"You guys are still far behind. At least you have to pay me two taels of silver. Since I don't have any now, let someone work here as a mortgage."

When Mina heard this, she hurriedly shook her head and cried, saying:

"I don't want to stay here alone, I can't do anything, I have bad legs."

She knew that Ji Anzhi had the final say now, so she tugged on Ji Anzhi's sleeve and cried, Ji Anzhi's brain ached from the noise.

He said mercilessly: "No matter whether this incident is an accident or what, if you caused it, you should bear the consequences.

Besides, we don't have any money on us now, and we have to find a way to make money later. Your stay here is just cleaning and entertaining guests. There is nothing to be afraid of. "

The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, our family is not a black shop, and we don't do illegal things."

When she heard that she was going out to find a way to earn money, Mina didn't dare to babble, and said sobbingly: "Then I'll stay and work, but I have to go back to sleep at night."

The shopkeeper assured: "This is natural."

Although it was all fake, if she was asked to stay and work to pay off her debts, it might not necessarily be a real job, but there would definitely not be too many shots.

Although Mina was reluctant, she had no way to object.

A group of people came out of the shop with tea sets, everyone was downcast, An Lin said worriedly:

"We don't have any money now, and we will have problems eating tomorrow."

Because there is no refrigerator, I don't buy too many vegetables at one time, and there are only three melons and two dates left at home, which are useless at all.

Everyone looked at Ji Anzhi without any surprise, as if she was the backbone of everyone. Ji Anzhi silently complained that the program team was not a human being, but he said soothingly:
"It doesn't matter, each of us has unique skills. If we don't have money, we can earn it ourselves. It happens that there are many people in the night market, so why don't we perform art?"

Everyone's eyes brightened. There are many group performers in this film and television base, and there may be fans of them. A reward for the performances will definitely be enough for them to eat.

Huo Nanchen said excitedly: "My aunt's guqin skills are superb, why don't we improvise a song together, I will go to the program group to borrow the instrument."

Hearing what he said, everyone's fighting power was instantly ignited, and everyone was full of confidence again. Jiang Nan said without humility: "Then I will have a chest crushing stone, and I will be a team with Cancan."

Ji Mingmei raised her hand and said, "I'm here to dance. I practiced a dance before filming and I can use it."

Teacher Yu said with a smile, "Then I'll sing a piece of Peking Opera. I have studied Peking Opera, so I'm sure I can do it well."

Xu Yifei hurriedly said: "Then I'll just collect reward money, I'm sure not a single coin will be missed."

An Lin said helplessly: "Then I will do logistics for you, let's go to the night center first, there are many people there."

I don't know how Huo Nanchen got into trouble with the program group, and he really got the guitar and guqin, two unrelated instruments, and I don't know what kind of sparks will be produced when they collide.

Xu Yifei borrowed someone else's small gong and struck it. As soon as the sound rang, many people came over.

Huo Nanchen and Ji Anzhi sat in the middle, and they adjusted the sound of the piano first, and they were almost ready.

Huo Nanchen's guitar played a few sets of chords first, and Ji Anzhi listened to it, and harmonized with the guqin without hesitation.

Both of them are very talented in rhythm. When you come and go, they actually played a natural sound. Everyone was fascinated by it. When the song ended, the applause continued for a long time.

The rewarded copper coins were thrown on the ground as if they didn’t want any money. Huo Nanchen didn’t care about the audience and pulled a photographer to watch the replay. The inspiration was just a flash of an instant. He wanted to record the song and add the lyrics Sing it.
