Xiao Yu sighed, "I'm not good at it. I really love eating, so at first, I wanted to learn how to cook well."
The first time I went into the kitchen, I almost burned it down. From then on, the kitchen became a forbidden zone for me.
Chen Mo blinked, seemingly finding it somewhat unbelievable. "If you don't mind, I can teach you how to cook next time."
"Really?" Xiao Yu's eyes lit up, but the light quickly dimmed again. "Let's forget it. If I go into the kitchen, we might not get to eat."
Xiao Yu had always resented not being able to cook, but she also knew that she was a kitchen disaster.
Although Shen Mo's suggestion was very tempting, she still resolutely refused.
[They almost burned the kitchen down! Hahaha, help! I can picture it! That was awful!]
[Enjoying cooking is a particularly painful experience for someone who simply can't learn to cook.]
I'm genuinely curious, has anyone actually almost burned down their kitchen while cooking?
It's true. As someone who experienced it firsthand, I can honestly tell you it's real; it's a pain that lasts a lifetime.
[After reading what the person upstairs said, I almost felt sorry for them, but hahaha, I still find it hilarious.]
[Yeah, yeah, it's both pitiful and funny.]
Chapter 76
==================
"On our way here, I saw a river. I wonder if there are any fish in it. Let's go take a look."
Lin Xiaoxiao glanced back at the staff carrying the camera behind them, "I originally wanted to go hiking."
This season, some wild vegetables on the mountain are also ready to eat, even though there are already plenty of vegetables in the garden.
But no one would complain about not having enough food. However, considering that the staff were carrying such heavy cameras with them, Lin Xiaoxiao gave up the idea.
"You want to go hiking?" Tang Xue was a little surprised. She had been worried that Lin Xiaoxiao would not be able to adapt to this place.
After all, Lin Xiaoxiao is a CEO, and a very wealthy one at that; her quality of life has always been top-notch.
The living conditions here are nothing like those in Lin Xiaoxiao's place.
To Tang Xue's surprise, Lin Xiaoxiao did not experience any discomfort after arriving here.
Tang Xue found it amazing that after dinner, Lin Xiaoxiao went to the kitchen to check on the stove and even went outside to chop some firewood.
Because she noticed that Lin Xiaoxiao was very skilled at doing these things, as if she had done them countless times before.
However, as the heir to the Lin Group, Lin Xiaoxiao was a pampered young lady when her parents were alive.
After her parents passed away, she became the head of the Lin Group. No matter how you look at it, someone like her would never have anything to do with this kind of life.
Even Tang Xue, at the beginning, didn't really understand how to use the stove in the kitchen.
Although her family wasn't particularly wealthy, it was truly the first time she had ever seen such an old kitchen.
"Yes, at this time of year, the wild vegetables on the mountain are all ready to eat. I'm planning to get up early tomorrow to go and take a look."
Lin Xiaoxiao glanced back, "Before the staff get up."
"Um?"
"That camera looks really heavy," Lin Xiaoxiao remarked with some emotion. "Working is really tough."
Yes, I'm crying my eyes out. The working class really is in a very lowly position.
[Is this some kind of persona she's trying to create? It's hilarious, especially before the staff even got up. Do you even think she could get up?]
[She's the head of the Lin Group, how could she possibly understand the hardships of us ordinary workers? Someone like her probably sleeps until noon every day, how could she possibly understand the suffering we endure, having to get up early every day and even work overtime until one or two in the morning?]
[To the person upstairs, she seems to have some misunderstanding about the CEO profession! You don't actually think that being in charge of a company means just eating and drinking all day, do you?]
I just don't understand those who say our CEO Lin is creating a persona. How is our CEO creating a persona?
What I'm more concerned about now is whether President Lin knows a bit too much?
[I also want to ask, forget about chopping wood, but that stove, I haven't seen it since I was a child at my grandma's house in the countryside. I'm really curious how Mr. Lin knows so much about it.]
Honestly, watching President Lin's practiced movements, I always felt that she wasn't the head of the Lin Group, but rather a young girl living in the countryside.
Honestly, I'm curious too. So, how does CEO Lin know so much about these things? Does she have some kind of superpower?
I was horrified when I heard Mr. Lin say he was going to pick wild vegetables in the mountains. Friends who have lived in the countryside should know that some wild vegetables look very similar to weeds. So, does our Mr. Lin even know this?
You'll know tomorrow whether you understand or not.
I'm kind of looking forward to tomorrow.
Do you think President Lin will be able to get up tomorrow?
I bet Mr. Lin will recover. I manage a small company myself, and to be honest, it's normal for me to get up at five or six in the morning and go to bed at one or two in the morning.
I also think President Lin can rise to prominence.
[Hehe, if Lin Xiaoxiao can't get up tomorrow, you'll all be slapped in the face.]
Hehe, if we don't get proven wrong tomorrow, you'll be crying, won't you?
I bet a bag of spicy strips that Mr. Lin can get up.
I bet two packs of spicy strips I'm super excited for CEO Lin's hiking trip tomorrow!
[...]
Wait, did we forget something?
If Mr. Lin really goes hiking before the staff wakes up tomorrow, we won't be able to see it.
[Ahhhh, no! I want to see President Lin go hiking, I want to see President Lin pick wild vegetables, I want to see President Lin and Miss Tang Xue being affectionate.]
I want to convey my message to the staff, hoping they won't miss tomorrow's shoot.
Although the mountain that Mr. Lin wanted to visit was really difficult to climb, and although it was hard for the staff to carry such heavy cameras up the mountain, I still want to watch it.
Ahhh, I feel a little bad for the staff, but I don't want to miss it!
Lin Xiaoxiao had no idea that her words would set the viewers of the show on a betting platform.
At this moment, Lin Xiaoxiao and Tang Xue arrived at the river they had seen when they came here earlier today.
"This is the most comfortable season to play in the water." Lin Xiaoxiao squatted by the river, put her hand in the water, and splashed water at Tang Xue when Tang Xue wasn't paying attention.
Tang Xue never expected Lin Xiaoxiao to do such a thing, and the water splashed in her face by Lin Xiaoxiao was splashed all over her face.
"Hehe." Lin Xiaoxiao was obviously very happy that her little trick had worked. She grinned at Tang Xue, revealing her big white teeth. "Isn't it comfortable?"
Tang Xue took out a tissue from her pocket, wiped her face clean, squatted down next to Lin Xiaoxiao, and without any warning, splashed water on Lin Xiaoxiao's face.
With her face covered in water, Lin Xiaoxiao's smile became even brighter. "Xiaoxue, there are fish in the water. We can have an extra meal tonight."
Lin Xiaoxiao plopped down on the ground and started untying her shoelaces.
"Wait a minute, are you going into the water?" Although Lin Xiaoxiao had mentioned before that she was going to catch fish, Tang Xue was still startled by Lin Xiaoxiao's decisive action.
They don't have any tools here, how are they going to catch these slippery fish?
“Yes, that’s right.” Lin Xiaoxiao nodded matter-of-factly. “I want to drink the fish soup you make.”
Tang Xue sighed and reached out to stop Lin Xiaoxiao's hand from untying her shoelaces. "We don't have any fishing tools. Are you planning to catch fish with your bare hands?"
Lin Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, watching helplessly as the big fish she had just spotted slipped away right under her nose.
She looked down at her hands, then thought about the slippery fish scales, and tugged at her clothes, looking somewhat annoyed.
"I'll give it a try first." After thinking about it, Lin Xiaoxiao still felt that she couldn't make the trip for nothing, since they had no meat at all except for vegetables.
Considering the time constraints and the fact that everyone had a long and tiring journey, the production team did not assign any tasks in the afternoon.
The remaining food was enough for them to eat today and tomorrow morning, but since they had seen the fish, Lin Xiaoxiao naturally wanted to enrich their meals.
"Okay, I'll go with you." Knowing she couldn't persuade Lin Xiaoxiao, Tang Xue gave up.
Anyway, given the current weather, she wasn't worried that Lin Xiaoxiao would catch a cold.
"I can do it myself, you can just watch from the shore." Although playing in the water is very comfortable at this time, Lin Xiaoxiao doesn't want Tang Xue to get all wet like she does.
Looking at Tang Xue's white shirt, Lin Xiaoxiao reaffirmed her resolve: she absolutely could not let Tang Xue go into the water.
If the clothes got wet, he shook his head vigorously, trying to shake off the impolite thought from his mind.
Lin Xiaoxiao looked at Tang Xue with unwavering determination, "Just wait for me on the shore, don't go into the water."
"Little..."
"No, that won't do." Lin Xiaoxiao grabbed Tang Xue's hand, her gaze lingering on Tang Xue's collar. "Why don't you go back and change your clothes before coming back?"
Tang Xue wanted to go into the water wearing this outfit, but Lin Xiaoxiao would absolutely not agree.
Noticing Lin Xiaoxiao's gaze, Tang Xue glanced down at her white shirt, and then, recalling Lin Xiaoxiao's words, her face flushed red.
“Um…” Lin Xiaoxiao looked away, her expression becoming somewhat unnatural, “We’re live streaming right now.”
Lin Xiaoxiao was wearing a black short-sleeved shirt today, and even though her shirt was wet, there shouldn't be any inappropriate scenes.
But Tang Xue is different; the white shirt she's wearing becomes see-through once it gets wet.
If it were just the two of them, Lin Xiaoxiao would not only not mind, but would actually look forward to it.
But now, she absolutely will not allow such a thing to happen.
【Ugh, Mr. Lin, really! We're all family here.】
[I really want to see it! *slurp* I desperately want to see it!]
[A bunch of old perverts, isn't that what President Lin is looking out for?]
[To the person upstairs, please tell me honestly, do you have absolutely no desire to watch this?]
No, I want to see it, I really want to see it, I desperately want to see it.
[Ahem, although I'd like to see it too, I still have to remind everyone, our CEO Lin is such a doting husband, how could she possibly let you see her?]
[Sob, although I feel a little disappointed, Miss Tang Xue blushed.]
[Didn't you see how a little unnatural Mr. Lin's expression was? Hehe, what do you think Mr. Lin was thinking about just now?]
