The situation downstairs started at 6:30 in the morning.
The sun would rise at four or five in the summer. Haha would wake Jiang Xuyan up every time the sun rose.
Jiang Xuyan had entrusted it to the staff to take care of it, but he drank a bit last night and completely forgot about it. He even let Haha sleep beside his bed.
Therefore, Jiang Xuyan was woken up by the dogâs licking before 5 a.m.
He waved his hand and slapped the dogâs head away, trying to get Haha to let him off this time.
However, Haha couldnât understand its masterâs feelings at all. Its head was slapped away several times. It simply opened its mouth and bit its masterâs clothes, dragging him off the bed.
Fortunately, there was a blanket beside the bed. Otherwise, Jiang Xuyan felt that he would have been sent to the hospital early in the morning.
As the fall from the bed was too exciting, he woke up immediately.
Jiang Xuyan didnât want Haha to scream and wake up the others, so he could only take it for a walk.
Unexpectedly, he saw Tang Zinian preparing to make breakfast when he came back.
Jiang Xuyan locked Haha in the yard and offered to help.
âNo!â Tang Zinian said resolutely. âSister Qingyou and the others said that youâre not allowed to enter the kitchen!â
âIâm just going in to help. Itâll definitely be fine.â
Jiang Xuyan rolled up his sleeves. âI remember you said that you have never cooked before, right?â
âI should still be better than Teacher Jiang.â Tang Zinian boasted shamelessly, âBefore this, I watched a lot of cooking videos and recipes. I have a lot of theoretical knowledge.â
Then he lowered his voice. âWhen I woke up this morning, I specifically asked the production team. Sister Qingyou hasnât woken up today.â
âItâs rare that Sister Qingyou, who wakes up the earliest, isnât here. 1 want to give her a surprise. Teacher Jiang, can you give me this chance?â
âWhat you said makes sense.â
Jiang Xuyan nodded. Just when Tang Zinian thought he had agreed, he continued, âThatâs why I chose to join you and give them a surprise!â
âAll, isnât this a shock?â
âImpossible!â Jiang Xuyan coughed twice and advised, âLook, I was in the wilderness during Man vs. Wild, right? I didnât have a recipe or anything. Isnât it natural that it would taste bad?â
âMoreover, my vegetables were cooked at that time⦠1 didnât blow up that pot, so 1 think my cooking skills can still be saved, right?â
Tang Zinian nodded in a daze, but he did not relent.
Jiang Xuyan struck while the iron was hot. âYou could have given me a surprise, but now the surprise is gone. If you donât let me participate, 1 will leak the secret!â
Tang Zinian was stunned, âI didnât expect you to be like this, Teacher Jiang.â
âSo, do you agree or not?â
âAlright then.â
Tang Zinian nodded in resignation.
Just like that, the two of them entered the kitchen one after another.
The kitchen of the homestay used a firewood stove.
Tang Zinian was dumbfounded when he saw it. The cooking videos and recipes he had seen did not tell him how to start the fire. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Fortunately, the two of them were filming.
Under the cameramenâs guidance, the stove started burning.
Following that, things became even more chaotic.
Either he forgot to cut the vegetables or he forgot the time when he watched the video. The pot was already smoking.
Halfway through, Tang Zinian suggested that they make soup.
Since he couldnât find the clay pot, Jiang Xuyan took out the pressure cooker.
The two of them put a lot of ingredients into the pressure cooker.
âThat should be enough, right? This pressure cooker is a bit small. Put more in it so the seven of us can eat more.â
Tang Zinianâs mind was a mess, and he nodded in confusion.
Then, the pressure cooker was placed on the small stove.
At the same time, the egg pancake was being cooked on a big pan.
âThe pancake seems to be smoking. It wonât turn black, right?â
Jiang Xuyan added two sticks of wood to the stove and looked at the pot worriedly.
âAh-it must be too hot!â
Tang Zinian panicked and wanted to flip the pancake.
As expected, the egg pancake with a yellow surface had been charred on the back.
âHahaha!â
Jiang Xuyan couldnât help but laugh.
At this moment, the pressure cooker suddenly made a popping sound, and the air valve on the lid turned twice and then stopped.
Jiang Xuyanâs laughter stopped abruptly, âThisâ¦â
Tang Zinianâs expression changed. He threw away the spatula, grabbed Jiang Xuyan, and ran out. âIt might explode!â
He had seen it in a video before. If the pressure cooker was not used properly, it could explode easily.
Before Tang Zinian could explain, the two of them and the cameraman had just stepped out of the kitchen when they heard a loud bang behind them.
Then, the pressure cooker flew out of the stove, flew above their heads, and smashed into the living room floor.
Puffs of smoke rose from the kitchen.
Around the same time, Song Qingyou and Jiang Zhihan heard the commotion.
Zhao Yingnan, who came down in front of them, was scared so much that he hid near the stairs.
Tang Zinian and Jiang Xuyan looked at the group of people coming down the stairs one after another, and their faces were filled with guilt.
Shu Ling: âDoing chemistry experiments early in the morning?â
Song Qingyou carried the cat down the stairs, ready to check on the pressure cooker.
âQingyou, donât go. I donât know if it will explode againâ¦â Jiang Xuyan quickly went forward.
Before he could finish, Yu Muhuai picked up the lid that was separated from the pot.
âThe lid is gone. It wonât explode again.â
Jiang Xuyan laughed awkwardly.
âThis⦠Zinian and 1 didnât do it on purpose⦠It was this pot that exploded for some reasonâ¦I swear we didnât touch it either!â
Tang Zinian laughed dryly as he tried to find a reason. âIt hasnât been used for a long time, soâ¦â
Halfway through his sentence, Director Weiâs voice sounded from behind the camera.
âEverything in the homestay is brand new.â
Tang Zinian said, âAll⦠If thatâs the case, we wonât be able to find an excuse, right? Teacher Jiang, what should we do?â
Everyone was speechless.
âYou canât put too much in the pressure cooker,â Song Qingyu said, looking at the things that had spilled out of the pot.
âIf the valve is blocked, it will explode.â
âThen who stuffed too many things?â
Jiang Xuyan and Tang Zinian immediately pointed at each other.
The two of them looked at each other and said in unison, âAlright, we did it together.â
âDo you guys smell a burnt smell?â
âMy pancake!â
Tang Zinian, who was about to confess, jumped up and ran into the kitchen.
At this moment, the egg pancake had completely turned into a piece of black charcoal.
Song Qingyu was also very fast. She immediately extinguished the firewood that was still burning in the stove.
âWhat a disaster!â Ye Guiwan, who was the last to arrive, looked into the kitchen.
âFrom now on, the kitchen will be a restricted area. Teacher Jiang and Tang Zinian are not allowed to enter.â
The two culprits had no objection to this.
At the very least, they had to wait until this matter was over before they raised any objections.
For a moment, the kitchen and living room were silent.
âWhat?â Zhong Jiayin, who was standing at the back, sneered. âAre you going to let the guests eat this?â
She looked at the charred egg pancake and said in disdain, âIf you let the cat in Song Qingyuâs arms cook, it might be better than this!â
Her words were very unpleasant, but it also made the few of them recover from the kitchen accident and start cleaning up the mess and preparing breakfast..
