Chapter 73 - 73: Have to Do It
[As soon as the director spoke, I knew that something bad was going to happen.]
[Hahahaha, does the director want to use Sister Meng’s hand to eat more delicacies?]
[It’s not that easy to take advantage of Sister Meng.]
[Director, I can hear your plan even from Guangdong.]
[The person in front, I could hear his plans from the north too, hahaha.] Meng Chuyuan looked up casually and saw the director smiling at her.
Although this smile could not be said to make her hair stand on end, it was indeed a little fake.
She originally wanted to rest for a while after roasting the vegetables and these oysters. She wanted to sit down and slowly eat the barbecue. After hearing the director’s request, Meng Chuyuan was really surprised.
Was this still the stingy Director Luo she knew?
Just now, he had made things difficult for them during the game segment. Now, he actually took the initiative to give up the ingredients.
However, Meng Chuyuan did not waver because of this. After all, she was tired after a busy night and did not want to cause trouble for herself.
She tilted her head and picked up the garlic sauce on the table, handing it to the director. “There’s still some garlic sauce here. Take it and use it.”
It was impossible for her to help roast it.
The surface of the sea was rippling, reflecting the hazy moonlight. Looking over, there were still a few ships traveling at night.
There were many residents living nearby. Everyone liked to take a walk by the sea after dinner. Some children even came over because of the fragrance of the barbecue.
In order to make the variety show look more local and authentic, the director had never cordoned off the filming area. Therefore, when they were barbecuing on the beach, they attracted the attention of many passers-by. After someone recognized them as celebrities, they could not help but take out their phones and take a few photos from afar.
Meng Chuyuan roasted the remaining ingredients and found that there were still many oysters left.
However, these oysters had already been opened and washed, so it was difficult to preserve them. She could only roast them all.
After a long time, Meng Chuyuan kept a small portion of the oysters that had been roasted. Then, she took the rest to the children who were watching on the beach.
The children sensed Meng Chuyuan walking over. They all looked away, as if they had been caught peeping.
“Kids, I’ll treat you to oysters.”
From the moment they appeared, Meng Chuyuan realized that they had been staring at her roasting oysters.
When they heard Meng Chuyuan’s voice, they raised their heads again and looked over.
[Help, hahaha. Why does it feel like they’re looking at Ultraman? Their eyes are filled with light.]
[The person in front, Sister Meng, is that beam of light!]
[She’s preventing food wastage and making children happy. Killing two birds with one stone.]
[Wuwuwu, why am I not one of those spectating children? I’m only in my teens.]
[I don’t know what food is suitable as an accompaniment for watching this variety show. I just eat whatever they cook, hahaha.]
In the eyes of the children, Meng Chuyuan was probably a stranger, so when she took the initiative to talk to them, they all seemed reserved.
Meng Chuyuan walked over and asked gently, “Have you eaten oysters before?”
“I have,” someone answered.
“It’s freshly roasted. I’ll treat you to them.”
As she had specially roasted this for the children, she did not put in any spicy millets. She distributed the disposable chopsticks she had brought to them and reminded them gently, “Blow on it before eating. It might be a little hot.”
Another group of children playing nearby realized that there was food here. Then, they ran over in groups of three to five. Meng Chuyuan distributed the remaining oysters.
“Thank you, Sister.”
Meng Chuyuan said, “You’re welcome.”
After the children finished eating, Meng Chuyuan kept their chopsticks and placed them back on the plate to prevent them from throwing them around like the director.
“Do you guys play here often?” Meng Chuyuan was not in a hurry to go back after delivering food to them. She even took the initiative to chat with the children.
One of the enthusiastic boys replied, “That’s right. There’s sand here to play with and shells to pick up. If we’re lucky, we can even catch small crabs.”
Meng Chuyuan estimated that they were at most ten years old. Since they were here at night, their home should be nearby. However, he did not see any adults accompanying them. They must have come out to play.
She couldn’t help but tell them about safety awareness. “Then you guys can play on the beach. Don’t go near the seawater, especially when there are no adults around, understand?”
“I know.” They nodded one after another.
“You can’t just say that you know. You have to act accordingly as well.” Meng Chuyuan felt that at their age, their knowledge was weak. She had to remind them more.
[Safety awareness beauty Sister Meng is online-]
[Recently, there have been many incidents at the seaside. Everyone, you have to be careful. Just look at the sea. It’s better not to go into the water if possible.]
[How can an adult let a child run around without worry? You have to pay more attention to these problems when living by the sea. Children nowadays are very curious. Even if they know that water can drown people, they still can’t help but venture out there.]
[Right, right, right. Everyone should be careful. The world is so big. We still have a lot to see.]
Meng Chuyuan chatted with the children for a while and felt that it was getting late, so she asked them to go home early.
Back in the canopy, Meng Chuyuan distributed the remaining grilled oysters to the other staff members and ate some herself.
Qi Yan really did not eat a single bite of the barbecue. She sat there, smelling the barbecue for the entire night. Nobody knew how she could withstand it.
Just as they were about to wrap things up, Qi Zhen passed her a plate of barbecue. “Sister, do you want to eat some?”
“No.” She looked down on these street snacks and lost her appetite just by looking at them.
“Try it. It’s actually not bad.” Qi Zhen tried his best to persuade her, but in the end, he could not make her eat the barbecue.
[She might not dare to eat it because she has to maintain her figure.]
[Judging from her expression, it doesn’t seem like it’s because she wants to maintain her figure. She just doesn’t want to eat the food of common mortals.] [Is there a possibility that the princess doesn’t like street snacks?]
[No way? I think barbecue is quite delicious. I feel hungry every time I see it, but I feel that it’s a little expensive to order it myself. I often can’t eat barbecue because no one is sharing with me.]
Seeing that she was unwilling to eat, Qi Zhen had no choice but to share the rest of the barbecue with everyone. Then, he left the recording site alone without anyone noticing.
Meng Chuyuan wanted to use the toilet at the last minute, so she wanted to go to the nearby residents’ houses to borrow the toilet. She did not let the cameraman follow her. After all, it was only a few steps away and there was nothing much to film.
When Meng Chuyuan came back from the toilet, she suddenly saw a figure on the other side of the beach.
Because there was no light over there, the surroundings seemed dark. Meng Chuyuan felt that it was a little strange. Why was there someone standing in the darkness?
When she got closer, she realized that the figure in front of her was somewhat familiar and could not help but narrow her eyes.
Out of curiosity, Meng Chuyuan suddenly changed directions, lightened her footsteps, and slowly approached..
