Chapter 36: Sesame Biscuits

Dr. Liu went to the car and took his medical kit. Tang Qiaoqiao smiled and said, "So you came prepared."

"I am a doctor."

Dr. Liu was actually a patient person, and Shen Yue was a patient during a special period. It was understandable that he would have a violent mentality. Secondly, Shen Yue was the son of his old friend.

It was just that during that time, Shen Yue avoided everyone to the extreme, and even his family could not do anything about it. He had no choice but to wait.

Tang Qiaoqiao led Doctor Liu to Shen Yue's room. The two of them met and looked at each other, creating an awkward atmosphere.

Tang Qiaoqiao leaned close to Shen Yue and whispered, "Let's get it done, don't be awkward."

Shen Yue glanced at her, thinking the old man was too much. Tang Qiaoqiao had to bribe him with a meal.

He greeted Dr. Liu a little uncomfortably.

Dr. Liu stepped forward quickly, staring at him from left to right. His expression remained in awe.

"I haven't seen you for a few months. You, kid, finally fixed your personality. Why did you make yourself look like neither a human nor a ghost? Look at how good you are now. Your face has fattened."

Shen Yue's mouth twitched. He couldn’t wait to ask if what he just ate was delicious.

Dr. Liu joked, but he was still very serious. He gave Shen Yue a routine check up. The more he saw, the more excited he became. Especially when he saw Shen Yue's legs, he was pleasantly surprised.

Logically speaking, when people stay in bed for a long time, muscle atrophy would gradually appear. However, Shen Yue's leg muscles did not show any signs of atrophy. The muscles were full and smooth, and they looked healthier than normal legs.

Especially when Dr. Liu pressed his hands on Shen Yue's legs, he could faintly feel a pulse. Maybe he would be able to stand up again.

"This is nothing more than a miracle. Where did you find such a genius doctor?" Dr. Liu's eyes were burning. This must be a new treatment.

Shen Yue motioned to Tang Qiaoqiao, sitting next to him with his eyes.

Dr. Liu misunderstood. "It turned out that you were the one who found the doctor. Where is that doctor? Can you introduce me?"

Tang Qiaoqiao touched her nose and chuckled, "There is no genius doctor. I usually give him massages and acupuncture."

"You?" Doctor Liu was shocked, "Do you know medical skills?"

Then, Dr. Liu insisted on seeing Tang Qiaoqiao's massage and acupuncture methods. No matter how she explained it, there was nothing special. But he just didn’t believe it.

Tang Qiaoqiao had to show it to him. After seeing it with his own eyes, Dr. Liu believed that there was nothing special. Even the acupuncture method was common in Chinese medicine.

That was even stranger. How could Shen Yue's legs show signs of recovery?

Was it really only a medical miracle?

Doctor Liu carefully observed Shen Yue's legs again, feeling very emotional.

He felt that Shen Yue still needed to go to the hospital for a more detailed examination in order to determine his next rehabilitation plan.

If Shen Yue could really stand up again, he wouldn't be ashamed to see his old friends when he left for the afterlife.

Before leaving, Dr. Liu quietly said to Shen Yue, "You, kid, you just took a shit but married a good wife."

Shen Yue looked at Tang Qiaoqiao, who ran to the kitchen to pack the stewed meat for Dr. Liu, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

While Doctor Liu was taking care of Shen Yue's legs, she taught Aunt Wang several dishes that Shen Yue loves to eat. Tang Qiaoqiao could finally join the crew with peace of mind.

It was the end of summer, and the high temperatures had not dissipated. However, "Our Family" would be filming a winter scene at the beginning of the script.

When she entered the group, Tang Qiaoqiao's first appearance was a big flowered cotton jacket with big black cotton trousers. Her black hair was braided into two strands and tied tightly with red rope.

Tang Qiaoqiao herself has white skin. But in order to fit the image of a rural girl more closely, the makeup artist gave her yellowish base makeup and a special "sunburn red" on her cheeks.

In this play, of the three daughters of the Zhao family, the eldest daughter, Zhao Xiaolian, and the third daughter, Zhao Xiaozhen, both read books, so they dressed more elegantly. Only the second daughter, Zhao Xiaoxiang, was set in the play to have no brains in school. As a second daughter, caught in the middle, her parents have never taken her seriously, so she was the most rustically dressed one. However, when Tang Qiaoqiao appeared in front of everyone with the appearance of this village girl, everyone, including the director, was happy.

Tang Qiaoqiao was so outstanding. Even if she deliberately put on earthy makeup, it couldn’t conceal her beautiful features. Tang Qiaoqiao wore such a thick dress, and her whole body looked round, but she seemed very satisfied with her new look. She was content, her eyebrows smiled crookedly, and she looked extra festive and simple. After obtaining the director's permission, Tang Qiaoqiao asked Fang Yuan to take a few pictures of her in front of the farmhouse and post them on Weibo to share with fans the caption: "Zhao Xiaoxiang's first day."

【Mother***, where is my beautiful Qiao Bao? Go away. This is not my Qiaobao ahhhh】

【Perfectly blended into the background. Qiao Qiao adapts too quickly】

【Qiao Qiao is a flower in Zhaojia village even if she wears a large-flowered cotton jacket】

【Wear something this thick in this weather of more than 30 degrees? It's too hard, it hurts】

【Do you think this photo of Qiao Bao looks like you when you come home during the Chinese New Year? Especially because Qiao Bao is standing at the door with a basin】

【Yes, I'm so happy I want to give her New Year's money】

A fan posted a photo of Tang Qiaoqiao's usual bright appearance and compared it with this image, with the words: "You in the metropolis VS you when you come home for the New Year."

【F***, there is a comparison. This is what I look like when I go home for the New Year】

【Every time I go back to my hometown, I become sloppy. I am not as good as Qiao Bao】

【Too vivid, I don't have any petty bourgeoisie image when I go back to my hometown. Be careful, walking around the village all day wearing a cotton-padded jacket, cotton trousers, and cotton slippers (covering my face)】

When this photo came out, it was immediately forwarded by many netizens. Many people followed the trend and posted photos of their usual exquisite urban girl outfits versus when they went back to their hometown, wearing a big cotton-padded jacket and cotton slippers. The sudden change of style turned the whole internet upside down.

Tang Qiaoqiao saw this trend on the headline, and her face was full of big question marks.

Was her look really that funny?

The director and crew were so happy. On the first day of filming, they got a big headline for free. The actor, Tang Qiaoqiao, was a koi and needed to be protected.

"Our Family" was more of a group drama. The eldest daughter, Zhao Xiaolian, was the most clever in the family. Her fate had changed drastically with the restoration of the college entrance examination, while the second daughter took a completely different path. Relying on her cooking, she first opened a small restaurant, and later, after the reform, she went south to do business.

Now that the plot had just started filming, Zhao Xiaoxiang didn’t have many highlights. Because she could cook, she made all three meals a day at home.

However, the scenes that seemed so unimportant are now what the actors of the Zhao family looked forward to most. As long as there was an eating scene, the actors were extremely active.

Because Tang Qiaoqiao's cooking was so delicious. It was as if anything can become a delicacy in her hands.

Regarding the cooking part, the director gave Tang Qiaoqiao a lot of autonomy, allowing her to act freely, as long as it did not exceed the economic situation of the Zhao family.

In the northern rural areas of this era, there were not many vegetables to eat in the winter. However, every household kept a lot of Chinese cabbage, large white radish, and potherb mustard for the winter.

But how could Tang Qiaoqiao’s Chinese cabbage be a simple Chinese cabbage?

Tang Qiaoqiao washed the Chinese cabbage leaves one by one, removed the old leaves, and sprinkled them with salt.

White radish juice was chopped into a fine puree, mixed with chili powder, minced ginger, garlic, and sesame powder to form a paste. The Chinese cabbage was pickled with salt to remove the water. After squeezing out the water, each leaf was evenly smeared with a radish juice mix, then put in a big clay pot and pressed tightly with a big stone.

After about two or three days, a special spicy cabbage was ready.

Spicy cabbage was sweet, spicy, and refreshing. It was appetizing and relieving greasiness. When stewed with frozen tofu, it was the most delicious.

As small bubbles formed in the pot, the rich sour and spicy flavor drifted away. The frozen tofu trembled with bubbles, and its unique spongy holes filled with the spicy cabbage soup. It tasted delicious and chewy, better than meat.

Potherb mustard in winter was also a big treasure.

She cut off a piece of bacon hanging under the eaves, fully washed the salt on the surface, cut it into diced meat, and stir-fried it in a hot pan. The unique salty aroma of bacon aroused the gluttons in the belly. She chopped the mustard into pieces, stir-fried it with the bacon, added more dried chili and green peppers. The whole dish should be spicy, fragrant, and heavy.

After sautéing the bacon with mustard green, she put a circle of wowotou around the periphery of the plate. Wowotou was made of cornflour, golden in color, with round top and bottom, exquisite and small.

She held the wowotou upside down in her hand, and added a chopstick of mustard green with bacon in the hollow of the wowotou. In one bite, there was not only the sweet, fragrant, and glutinous texture of wowotou but also the salty and spicy delicacy of mustard with bacon. The two flavors were ingeniously fused, and they stayed on the tip of the tongue for a long time.

So when most crews of other dramas werejust posing for dinner, and the actors holding chopsticks would not eat a single grain of rice, the crew of "Our Family" had an extra spectacle.

Every time they shot a meal scene, the actors ate everything clean. The director sometimes had an illusion that he was making a food documentary. Fortunately, everyone ate happily, and it seemed very real. Even some people were tempted to think that they could eat more. It's just that after more than ten days of shooting like this, the bad effects finally came out. Some actors suddenly "flipped."

The actress who plays the eldest sister, Zhao Xiaolian, was the actress Chen Qing. She was young but has won the most important award in Chinese-language movies.

On this day, she suddenly posted on Weibo: "I want to sue @Tang Qiaoqiao v. You are really unbelievable!"

Netizens said, "???"

After three or four minutes, Chen Qing immediately sent another one: "I want to accuse Tang Qiaoqiao of wanting to make us all fat to achieve her evil goal of crushing the whole group by herself! @Tang Qiaoqiao v Come out and admit it. (P.S. I'm sorry. I was grabbing sesame biscuits just now, but I only managed to get one. Tang Qiaoqiao, you have to give me one more)."

Chen Qing also posted a selfie with sesame biscuits in her hand with the caption, "Tang Qiaoqiao's biscuits."

【Don't stop in the middle when you speak. It scares me to death. I thought my two goddesses were going to tear each other apart】

【Chen Qing was fed by Tang Qiaoqiao until she was fattened... Why is it so funny hahaha】

【Tang Qiaoqiao took over the crew's kitchen again? I think that even the director is robbing biscuits. Wake up. You are making a historical drama, not a gourmet movie】

Chen Qing replied, "Yes, every mealtime is a big battle. The director is gone, so I can help myself. Sorrowful tears."

【I also want to eat Qiao Bao's meal every day】

【Is your crew still lacks extras? Is it enough time for me to sign up?】

【+10086, I also want to go】

【The crew is so harmonious. The only contradiction is who grabbed more sesame biscuits today】

...

Tang Qiaoqiao didn't know that the Internet had already discussed the issue of feeding the crew until they became fat. When she found that there was one sesame biscuit left, she casually yelled, "There is one left. Who wants it?"

"Me! Me!" Chen Qing said with a "crazed" voice, with both hands raised high, and half of the unfinished biscuits remained in one hand.

Everyone laughed and didn't rob her.

Although Chen Qing played the heroine, the eldest sister, Zhao Xiaolian, who was calm and reliable in the play, Chen Qing in private was completely another person, without the air of a celebrity.

Chen Qing got another sesame biscuit and was satisfied. The sesame biscuits that had just been baked had two layers of yellow crust. One layer as full of fragrant sesame scent and the skin was crispy, but the other layer was soft and still steaming on the inside.

'Too delicious!'

Chen Qing was satisfied but regretted it again in her heart.

Her weight, her figure!

She pointed to Tang Qiaoqiao, clutching her chest with a distressed face. "Are you my anti-fan, who is deliberately harming me? Otherwise, why do you make me suffer this delicious and painful torture every day?"

Tang Qiaoqiao helplessly supported her forehead.

This Movie Queen Chen was good everywhere, but she made too many dramatic gestures, and she could do it all the time. Tang Qiaoqiao wasn’t used to it yet.

It's no wonder she could get an award if she acted all the time like this.

Half a month after joining the group, the energy drink commercial that Tang Qiaoqiao shot finally aired.

The beverage company really paid a lot of money. The special effects in such a short one-minute advertisement were definitely more than fifty percent, which was incredible.

Every leaf in the forest was made extremely realistic. Tang Qiaoqiao ran through the forest wearing a beautiful princess dress, like an elf princess. The evil dragon was black and shiny, with two big wings. He looked evil and arrogant.

In the first half, when the dragon was desperately chasing the princess, every second felt thrilling, as if people were watching a Disney princess blockbuster.

Only when the princess opened her mouth and said, "Oh, my prince, where are you?"

Such a cliche line instantly made the audience laugh. This was a princess with a combination of Chinese and Western aura.

In the second half, after drinking the drink, the princess changed gorgeously, and the situation was reversed. The ad was also accompanied by a passionate BGM, and people's blood boiled immediately.

[T/N: BGM = Background Music]

Especially when the princess shouted, "Women don't need a prince," it was as if she had become a Queen of Darkness in an instant.

At the end of the advertisement, Tang Qiaoqiao was given a close-up. Her eyes were firm, her smile was confident, and she finally disappeared into the vast forest.

【The creativity of this ad is great. Women don't need to rely on men. They can protect themselves】

【I was so excited when I watched this ad. Tang Qiaoqiao, the queen who wields a whip, aaah exploded】

【How could the ad be so real? Tang Qiaoqiao drank the whole bottle of drink in one go. They didn't cut a second.】

【Our Qiao Bao can be salty and sweet. Don't you like this ad? Maybe the shareholders are an old fan】

This advertisement was broadcast during prime time. Almost everyone who saw it was attracted by Tang Qiaoqiao's indulgence in killing the entire bottle of energy drink in one go. Was it so delicious?

Soon after the broadcast, the official website of a certain beverage company squeezed. Orders flooded in, and major supermarkets also asked for replenishment.

When some netizens questioned that the ad was too exaggerated and that this energy drink was just a gimmick, Tang Qiaoqiao also relayed a statement: "It's really effective. I have to say that the day the ad was shot, I drank too much, and I was so excited to sleep at night. So I was broadcasting food in the middle of the night to harass my fans."

The sugar rabbits realized that Tang Qiaoqiao was broadcasting mukbang in the middle of the night because she drank too much of this energy drink.

Hey, they thought it was Qiao Bao who missed her fans, so she talked to them all night especially.

They thought it was a dream, and they were still very moved after waking up.

From the second floor, Shen Yue looked at the vegetable garden downstairs. The vegetables were still green and lush, but the garden is missing a bee-like figure.

Tang Qiaoqiao had been away for almost half a month. Her chattering was missing, and the villa suddenly felt empty.

Shen Yue opened Weibo and saw that the official Weibo of the "Our Family" crew revealed Tang Qiaoqiao's gourmet food every day. Even spicy cabbage could be made into 108 kinds of tricks.

In the photo, she laughed so happily, as if she was simply reluctant to think about home.

Heartless.

Shen Yue entered the fan group habitually. After several night battles, he finally reached the fan level for entering the fan group.

After joining the group, he found that everyone was discussing visiting Tang Qiaoqiao and helping her with the crew.

Oh, he learned new knowledge. What was supporting the crew?

It turns out that after many actors have joined the filming, the fan support would regularly send food and drink to the crew. Generally, there would be food, beverages, etc. Of course, there were also special gifts for directors and co-actors.

Fans nowadays were really like fathers and mothers.

【This is our first time supporting Qiao Bao. We must meet face-to-face, and we can't lose】

【Ah, ah, ah, will I see Qiao Bao with my own eyes? I'm afraid I'll faint with happiness】

【I think we'd better rush to go there at noon. Maybe we can catch the meal made by Qiao Bao】

【Upstairs. I like】

【You said it... Yes, I support hiahiahia】

'Are you going to see Tang Qiaoqiao, or just want to eat?'

Shen Yue inwardly disliked the naive behavior of these fans. When they counted who wanted to go to the group, he signed up decisively.

Ahem, he just followed the trend.

However, too many people signed up. The group leader, Xiaoxiao, decided to draw lots.

In the end, Shen Yue lost.

Xiaoxiao: 【Don't be discouraged if you don't get it, sugar rabbits. It will be your turn next time. This mini-program for the lottery is regular and followable. It may be that your account is not original enough, and the weight of your contribution is too low. Don't use a secondary account. Post more original Weibo. Don't just laze around all day long, hahaha. In addition, I suggest that your name should be related to Qiao Qiao. So at first glance, people know that you are a fan. Your chances of being drawn will be higher.】

Shen Yue's face was dumb.

He used his secondary account, rarely posted original Weibo, and his name had nothing to do with Tang Qiaoqiao.

And the ones who were drawn were "Favorite Tang Qiaoqiao," "Qiao Qiao's little rice bowl," "The Nth day when I miss Qiao Bao," and "I am the little whip in Qiao Bao's hands."

It was this man named "Little Whip" again. He was also drawn.

Well, he did publish rainbow farts about Tang Qiaoqiao all day long, and his name was very relevant.

Shen Yue's fingers hesitated for a long time at the name setting and turned off Weibo.

'They are just going to visit the set, who cares?'

After being silent for a while, he dialed Li Ji's phone.
