Chapter 85: Carving Flowers and Cutting Fish
The director had been eyeing the vegetables at the farm beside them for a long time, but the farm owner always refused politely and firmly.
Not even if he had offered more money!
Right now, he felt like eating as well.
But more than that, he wanted to ask Xing Jiuan how she had gotten this cart of food.
Xing Jiuan watched as Lin Feng and the others washed the vegetables and cut them up. A breeze blew past, and her hair fluttered in the wind. She looked casual and relaxed.
“Xing…”
As soon as the director arrived, Lin Feng stood up with a knife.
“Director, please stay away from the guests.”
“I…”
“Director, it’s time for you to eat.” Lin Feng motioned to the bento box the staff was handing out.
This director had a high status in the industry. He was only in his forties, but he had won many awards. He was also very easygoing.
This was his first time directing a variety show. No one would have thought that the moment he started, he would take over most of the entertainment industry.
Lin Feng had worked with the director many times, and they were good friends. Therefore, on his first day here, his lunch was only plain noodles with no salt or oil.
The director looked at the ingredients that weren’t used up, then looked at Lin Feng, who was staring at him with a knife in his hand, and then at the unimpressive bento boxes…
Lin Feng was too fierce! He couldn’t afford to anger him!
Xing Jiuan was a little bored. She took a knife out of boredom and took out a watermelon to start carving flowers on it.
She was using a fruit knife. The blade was sharp and looked like it could split the watermelon into two at any time. However, under Xing Jiuan’s control, a small flower slowly appeared.
After she finished carving one flower, she stopped. She happened to see the movie queen, Zhou Xi, preparing fish slices.
Zhou Xi knew how to cook and was quite good at making pickled fish. However, the fish slices she’d cut were not very good.
She was an obsessive-compulsive person. It would be difficult to make them good.
Xing Jiuan walked over. “Let me help you.”
Her knife skills were great as she had trained since she was young.
When she was a child, she loved to carve vegetables and fruits with a knife.
Then, she slowly practiced how to cut them into pieces.
Forget about the rest, she definitely knew how to do this.
Zhou Xi looked at Xing Jiuan and gave her the spot.
Xing Jiuan was much faster than Zhou Xi. Furthermore, she’d surprisingly cut them neatly and beautifully.
Zhou Xi felt that her obsessive-compulsive disorder had been cured.
“Brilliant,” she exclaimed.
Xing Jiuan had seen Zhou Xi’s movies and television dramas.
She did not expect her to be like this in private. She was not like an older sister at all. Sometimes, she looked like a girl-next-door.
She was in her thirties now, but she had no wrinkles at all. She was bright and beautiful.
Xing Jiuan smiled. “Is there anything else we need to do?”
“No need, no need. Go and take a rest. Jinqi washed a lot of fruits. Go and eat some to fill your stomach. It’ll take a while before the food is ready.”
Xing Jiuan looked at Huo Jinqi, who was sitting not far away. He was also washing vegetables slowly.
He washed them piece by piece seriously.
Not far from him, there were a few fruit platters.
The strawberries, apples, and grapes had all been washed clean.
Xing Jiuan’s expression was a little complicated.
Last time, when she had washed fruits, this person had personally told her that no one would eat them even if she did.
He had never stepped into the kitchen once.
However…
Xing Jiuan lowered her eyes.
What did this have to do with her?
She was not narcissistic enough to think that he had done this for her.
She did not go and did not want to eat them either.
At this moment, she suddenly remembered the desserts Lu Zhichen had specially delivered to her.
She had not eaten them yet, so she could eat some now.
As they were specially delivered by Lu Zhichen, and they wouldn’t taste good if they were left out for too long, he didn’t bring much. He wanted to make sure that Xing Jiuan wouldn’t keep eating them, as that could cause her stomach to feel uncomfortable.
