Chapter 29 The Story of Canned Yellow Peaches
Chapter 29 The Story of Canned Yellow Peaches
The lobby of the guesthouse.
Li Shen walked in leisurely, hands in his pockets.
Looking at the bite marks on his arm, Li Hangliang exclaimed, "Wow, how did that happen?"
"Biten by a dog."
Li Shen nestled into the sofa, looking at the bite marks.
Is it a joke that's actually being used in a suggestive way?
He was humming "I've Been Feeling Annoyed Lately" when Tian Xiwei, without saying a word, bit his fair and tender arm.
Let's have a good roasting match!
What skill do I have?
At this moment, Tian Xiwei walked in quickly with a cold face and her hands in her pockets, passing by Li Hangliang with a fragrant breeze.
"Why does Oda's face look so ugly?"
"It's because of the pig."
Tian Xiwei became increasingly angry as she thought about it.
If he snatches her headphones, she won't say anything, so he can just quietly hide to the side.
But he did the opposite. Even though there was no music in his headphones, he was still humming and shaking his head. Isn't that infuriating?
Humph, go ahead and hum. Listen to what he's humming.
"I'm not annoyed." "You're more annoyed than me." "I'm not annoyed." "You're very annoyed."...
She was already having a headache dealing with the couple on the street, and then he snatched her earphones and started singing to annoy her.
Do you think people like this should be bitten?
He even shamelessly told himself, "Let's have a good argument!"
Can I out-argue him?
Da da da……
Tian Xiwei hurried upstairs.
Just as Li Hangliang's gaze shifted from Tian Xiwei, he saw Zhang Ruonan walking over with an exceptionally happy expression.
Hahaha~~~
"What's wrong with you now?" Li Hangliang asked, puzzled.
"Interesting, haha!" Zhang Ruonan laughed heartily; she had witnessed the whole thing.
Moreover, as the show's "Angel of Love," she receives the latest information delivered to her by the production team.
What a fun couple!
She sat down on the sofa, opened her diary, and drew a heart on a blank page. Inside the heart, she wrote "Li Shen" and "Xiao Tian".
Then, below the heart, another line of text was written:
Our suggestion is to lock it!
Li Hangliang sat next to Li Shen, his guitar always by his side, as usual, and now he seemed to have himself embedded in his precious guitar.
Li Hangliang casually strummed the guitar for a while, then suddenly asked, "Li Shen, why aren't you cooking? Each person needs a dish, Yang Ge is busy, you should hurry up!"
"My dish is simple, snap, whoosh, done in two moves, and it has to be the best dish on the spot!"
Li Hangliang pushed up his glasses: "Can't you live without bragging?"
"Oh!"
"Holy crap, Li Shen, you didn't think peanuts were a dish, did you?"
"Shh~~~"
1 pm.
After Liang Song's dishes were ready, lunch began.
On the dining table, there are eight iron basins upside down, each containing a dish.
The guests sat around the dining table, laughing and chatting happily.
Zhang Ruonan's curious eyes swept over the eight overturned iron basins: "Finally, we can taste everyone's delicious food! In this part, everyone will choose the dish made by their partner. If you successfully choose each other, you will receive a reward."
What will be the first dish? Ta-da!
Zhang Ruonan lifted the first iron basin, revealing a plate of steamed spare ribs with black bean sauce underneath.
This steamed spare ribs with black bean sauce is delicious; it looks and smells amazing.
Zhang Ruonan said, "Everyone can try it now!"
Li Shen took a bite and his eyes lit up instantly.
I must say, it's alright.
It's not amazing, but it's acceptable.
So he picked up his chopsticks, grabbed three pieces of pork ribs, stuffed his rice bowl full, and started eating with gusto, burying his face in his rice.
Tian Xiwei lowered her head and covered her forehead.
This is pig!
She nudged Li Shen's leg under the table with her small hand and whispered, "I'm letting you try the food, not eat it. There are still seven dishes to come. What's the rush? You'll be full soon."
"Don't worry, each dish is worse than the last, so hurry up and eat, listen to me."
Of all the people in this house, who cooks all year round?
Leaving aside the men, they are either bosses or entertainers. As for the women, Huang Shengyi and Tian Xiwei come from privileged backgrounds and became famous early, so it's no surprise that they can't cook.
As for Mai Lin, Li Shen had shared an apartment with her, so he knew what kind of person she was.
This steamed spare ribs with black bean sauce is most likely He Meiyan's creation.
As for the remaining dishes, which are being prepared by seven novices, it's simply unimaginable.
Thinking of this, Li Shen picked up another rib, and without saying a word, focused on eating.
As Li Shen had predicted, the second dish, "Shredded Pork with Sweet Bean Sauce," caused everyone to frown after tasting it.
Li Shen still specializes in steamed spare ribs with black bean sauce.
Tian Xiwei nudged him: "Everyone else has tried it, you should have a bite too."
Li Shen shook his head.
"Why don't you try some?"
Li Shen continued to shake his head.
After everyone had given their answers for the dish, Tian Xiwei reminded him for the fifth time, "Try a bite, it'll all be gone in a minute."
Li Shen squinted at the plate full of shredded pork with sweet bean sauce. This dish that everyone hates, are you worried that someone else will eat it all?
"Okay, I understand. This dish was made by Tian Xiwei," Li Shen said, reaching for his chopsticks.
Zhang Ruonan: "But Xiaotian is from Chongqing, and this is a typical Beijing-style cooking method. People from Chongqing probably don't cook Beijing-style food very often, right?"
Li Shen laughed heartily: "But I'm from the capital, hahaha."
As Li Shen was laughing, he suddenly realized something was wrong. Why did he have such a great feeling?
"I'd like to ask, Li Shen, besides your reason, what other reasons do you have?"
"She urged me four or five times, which reminded me of some related memories. I remember she told me that she would cook my favorite dish for me in the future. And shredded pork with sweet bean sauce is one of my favorites."
"Why did Xiaotian say she wanted to cook your favorite dish?"
"That's because every time Liang Ge and his wife, Mailin, order takeout, they always order Mailin's favorite foods, uh..."
Li Shen quickly lowered his head and ate his rice.
I can't say any more, or I'll break my vow today.
I promised Tian Xiwei I wouldn't criticize anyone. (Today only)
The third dish was peanuts.
The moment Li Hangliang saw the peanuts, his eyes widened with laughter: "Li Shen's 'slap, splash' is here, haha! 'Slap,' he opens the box, 'splash,' he pours it into the plate, hahaha!"
Li Shen gave a half-smile.
Li Hangliang was extremely excited: "I didn't expect that I would actually guess right, did I?"
Li Shen: "Can't it be someone else's?"
"Impossible! You already said 'slap, splash' before, and besides, only a dog like you would do something like that."
Mai Lin's smile froze instantly.
Next to be revealed was a plate of ginseng.
Moreover, it was a plate of ginseng that hadn't been cooked.
"No need to guess, it's Yang Ge's!"
"Brother Yang, did you bring your own ginseng?"
……
Yoko laughed and said, "Then I'll just self-destruct. If I don't, Katsuie will know."
Yoko seized the opportunity to boast: "These wild ginsengs were specially brought for everyone before we set off. Wild ginseng, born of nature and imbued with the spirit of the mountains. The essence of plants, measured by time, embodies the essence of the sun and moon, absorbing spiritual energy to form its ginseng shape..."
Yoko started bragging all by herself, talking non-stop.
All the guests watched him quietly, except for Huang Shengyi, who stared blankly at the steamed spare ribs with black bean sauce, chin in hand.
The entire plate of steamed spare ribs with black bean sauce is gone.
Huang Shengyi looked up at Li Shen, who was wiping his mouth with a napkin; he had finished eating.
Five minutes later, Yoko was still explaining the amazing effects and rarity of wild ginseng to everyone.
The live stream interface was filled with sarcastic and mocking comments!
[Yoko is truly a natural-born salesperson; she's incredibly persuasive!]
[Even Huang Shengyi is said to be sleepy, haha!]
[Do NOT buy this wild ginseng from his live stream!]
[I've tried it; this wild ginseng isn't wild at all.]
[This is not wild ginseng at all; I am applying for a return!]
[Yoko is a clown, a fraud!]
[I don't want to listen to his lecturing anymore, Dog Bro, bite him!]
[Dog Bro, bite him!]
……
"We source our products directly from Changbai Mountain, ensuring absolute reliability at the source..."
Li Shen opened his mouth, then held it back.
Yoko's little lesson lasted for another two or three minutes.
Li Shen wanted to speak several times, but he held back.
He glanced at the large headphones hanging around Tian Xiwei's neck out of the corner of his eye, and reached out to take them.
Tian Xiwei gripped it tightly and whispered, "It's the formal part; we can't wear it now."
Li Shen was speechless and could only continue to hold back his anger.
Yoko: "Everyone must be very curious as to why I didn't cook these wild ginseng for everyone."
Liang Song flattered Yang Ge: "Why is that?"
"Because such precious ingredients, with our skills, I don't want to waste them. I've already asked the production team to invite a chef, and we'll enjoy them later."
[return the goods!]
[Dog Bro's mouth is itching to try.]
[Li Shen's silence is killing me!]
[Dog Bro, you're the audience's mouth double!]
[Hey Dog Bro, have you forgotten who you are? You're a mouth double!]
[Unfortunately, even Dog Bro has had his smile worn down by reality!]
……
The next dish is a dessert – canned yellow peaches.
The moment Tian Xiwei saw the canned yellow peaches, tears welled up in her eyes, her lips trembled slightly, and her chest heaved noticeably.
Huang Shengyi, who was lost in thought, noticed Tian Xiwei's unusual behavior out of the corner of her eye. She quickly used a small spoon to scoop some peanuts and put them into Tian Xiwei's plate, taking the opportunity to distract her.
"Xiao Tian, try these peanuts, they're quite good."
Zhang Ruonan's gaze also fell on Tian Xiwei.
The mystery that has puzzled the observation room is finally about to be solved.
Why did Tian Xiwei, who was angry about "Facing the Sea, with Spring Blossoms" that night, suddenly feel much better after seeing that can of yellow peaches?
Moreover, after she took the initiative to turn on the light for Li Shen, her attitude became much gentler than before.
At this moment, Tian Xiwei's emotions clearly fluctuated abnormally after seeing the plate of canned yellow peaches, which once again confirmed the speculation in the observation room—this can of yellow peaches is not simple!
Li Hangliang was also puzzled when he saw the canned yellow peaches.
This seems to be a similar situation: *smack!* *whoosh!*
Snapped!
Open the can of yellow peaches.
Wow!
Pour the canned yellow peaches into a plate.
That actually makes sense, it's similar to how you open a box of peanuts.
Tian Xiwei's lips trembled slightly, her nails digging into her trembling arm: "This dish, Li Shen's, is my answer."
Li Hangliang: "???"
In that case, whose plate of peanuts is that?
Li Shen, that scoundrel, could do something as simple as dumping peanuts, but instead he went and dumped canned yellow peaches.
Yoko, the rule-breaker of the show, is capable of doing this too, but he promoted his "Changbai Mountain wild ginseng" on the spot.
No one else would do something so opportunistic.
After looking around, he saw his wife, Merlin, staring at him coldly.
Li Hangliang gasped, quickly lowered his head, and dared not say another word.
Zhang Ruonan: "Alright, now we'll reveal the answer! Choose the only correct partner: Li Shen/Tian Xiwei! There will be a reward for you two later!"
This concludes this segment. Please enjoy your meal.
Li Shen nudged Tian Xiwei: "Is it okay to wear headphones during this kind of free-flowing discussion?!"
Tian Xiwei forced out a single word through gritted teeth: "Mmm."
Zhang Ruonan asked curiously:
"Xiaotian, in the rough cut of the footage in the observation room, we found that your emotions changed very obviously when you first saw the canned yellow peaches. At that moment, we also saw that you were clearly restraining your excitement."
So, could you tell us the story behind this jar of canned yellow peaches?
All eyes fell on Tian Xiwei's face, which concealed her anger.
Li Shen rested his chin on his hand and looked at her curiously.
"Hoo~~~" Tian Xiwei let out a deep breath, bit her lip hard, her eyes filled with tears, "Six years ago, we always argued. Once, we had a huge fight, and he slammed the door and left, not coming home for several days..."
Li Shen lowered his head, listening to Tian Xiwei's account, trying to recall the past through it.
He couldn't quite remember what they had argued about, but he gradually recalled that rainy night.
After the argument, he ran away from home and returned to his school dormitory. The two began a cold war and considered breaking up.
A few days later, on October 14th, would be Tian Xiwei's birthday.
On the night of October 13th, he and Li Hangliang drank a lot of alcohol, and finally, something Li Hangliang said touched him.
Li Hangliang said:
"Don't give your gentleness to the whole world, but only your strength to Xiaotian. One day you will realize that your whole world consists only of the two of you."
You should stab the whole world with all your spears, and reserve all your tenderness for Xiaotian. Just look at how your brother Liang treats your sister-in-law in this regard!
He was awakened by Li Hangliang.
He didn't know what to prepare to truly touch her heart, but suddenly he remembered Tian Xiwei's favorite food—canned yellow peaches from Shanchengpuzi.
So he left the barbecue restaurant and rushed into the pouring rain.
Gale-force winds, torrential rain, lightning and thunder—it was the biggest rainstorm in Shanghai City in those years.
The floodwaters were knee-deep, making it difficult for him to walk along the street.
Almost all the shops were closed, with only a handful of small shops remaining open. He went from street to street asking around.
"Do you have canned yellow peaches? From Shancheng Shop."
He went from disappointment to despair, but as midnight approached, he finally received a positive response from the owner of a convenience store.
"There's one bottle left!"
"Give it to me, quick."
The clerk replied, "No, that last bottle was just bought by a customer."
The shop assistant's words were colder than the torrential rain outside.
In despair, he carried a bag of peaches and pushed open the bedroom door just before midnight.
"Xiaotian, I just went to every convenience store nearby, but I couldn't find any canned yellow peaches. I'm so sorry. I really wanted to buy you your favorite canned yellow peaches, but I just couldn't find any, not even the last one!"
Looking at him, soaked to the bone, Tian Xiwei burst into tears: "Because I bought the last bottle!"
