Eternal Love: A Love Story

Chapter 585 - Do You Think We Will Believe Your Words?

Yuan Lei's expressions turned grim when she heard that they need to cook their lunch themselves. It's already 2 pm and she was hungry like a hyena but they need to cook their lunch themselves. She had thought that they would at least give them their first meal for the day.

But she was wrong.

She doesn't have anything to eat as well. Their bags have been checked as they were told to not bring any snacks with them. Their phones have been taken by the crew and they can make a call only after taking permission from the PD.

Xie Ming nodded upon hearing Sun Wen's words as she was already expecting this. She has been following this show quite a while and was aware of their work.

They walked to the backyard of the house which was wide and there was a long wooden table in the middle with other necessary utensils, ingredients and there was a traditional stove on the side which was made of bricks and woods were to be used to ignite the fire.

The regular cast was used to it but others were little caught off guard seeing the traditional stove for cooking. They need to start the fire themselves to cook the food and it's the most difficult part.

"Do any of you know how to cook?" Qin Bi asked as she sat on the large wooden table while arranging the utensils.

Before anyone could react, Yuan Lei spoke up, " Xie Ming can cook. In fact, she can cook lunch for more than 10 people herself. Even during our workshop, she is the one who cooked everyone's dinner." she hurriedly said to avoid getting assigned to any task.

Everyone glanced at Xie Ming in surprise.

" Really? You know how to cook?" Sun Wen asked curiously.

Xie Ming didn't deny it and nodded as she said, " Yes. I know a little bit about cooking."

In the end, Xie Ming was assigned to cook since among them only she knows about cooking. Lian Jun decided to help her as well since he also knows basic cooking. Among the regular cast only he has some cooking skills.

While others decided to help them by preparing for cooking. Qin Bi, Wu Sheng was cutting the vegetables while Jian Yan was beating the eggs and Sun Wen was washing dishes.

Qin Bi was peeling potatoes when she noticed that Yuan Lei was doing nothing but talking to the other two members while sharpening her nails. She pursed her lips and said, " Yuan Lei, what are you doing there? Did no one assign any work to you? If you're free then come and cut these potatoes with me."

Yuan Lei pursed her lips and felt annoyed the way Qin Bi was ordering her but she chose to swallow her words and walked up to her with a forced smile and started cutting those potatoes.

" What are you doing? Don't you even know you to peel potatoes? You were filing your nails very well but can't you do this simple work."

Qin Bi's words made everyone laugh because her comments have always been direct and funny.

Yuan Lei's lips twitched but when everyone started laughing she had no choice but to laugh along.

..

Xie Ming sighed seeing Lian Jun struggling with the traditional stove. Initially, she wanted to start the fire but he insisted that it's men's work and he should do that. He thought that since she is not familiar with it, she might not be able to do it.

He was struggling for 15 mins now.

" Xie Ming, this is the chopped onion you have asked for. The fire hasn't even started yet?" Wu Sheng asked when he saw Lian Jun struggling with the stove. His face has turned messy due to the dust but the fire hasn't even started yet.

She sighed and said, " Get up"

" Eh?"

Lian Jun was forced to get up by Xie Ming and she sat in his place. She took the pipe from and blew air on it while fanning it with a fan simultaneously to start the fire.

" It will not start this way."

" I am telling you it won't work this way."

" It won't…" Lian Jun was trying to stop Xie Ming from trying because she won't be able to start the fire this way but his eyes widened when it started only after a few moments of her taking his position.

All the members were surprised as well because till now, it was a record that no guest was able to start the fire in less than 15 minutes but it didn't even take 5 minutes for her.

They all cheered for her but they were more shocked seeing her cooking so effortlessly. The cameraman recorded her process of cooking while focusing on her.

….

When the food was placed on the long table, everyone was surprised because the ingredients were not enough and they were expecting only 2-3 simple dishes but Xie Ming made at least 5 kinds of dishes with the available ingredients.

Even the camera crew was drooling seeing the visuals of the dishes. They focused on the dishes to get their shot and after that everyone sat together and tasted the food made by Xie ming.

" Is this really stirred veggies? Why do they taste so good?" Qin Bi questioned as she looked at Xie Ming.

" This meat dish is very different as well. Xie Ming, did you use something different?" Sun Wen asked as the dishes were normal Chinese dishes that they have eaten many times but the taste was more fresh and savory.

Xie Ming was eating her rice when she heard their questions. " I didn't use anything special. I just put some herbs that I took from the courtyard in front. "

" You took the herbs from the front? Are they even edible? Eww..what did you put in the food. What if something happens to us?" Yuan Lei commented as she put down her bowl.

Everyone pursed their lips and felt uncomfortable hearing her words. They were not sure either if they were edible or not.

Only Jian Yan was eating despite hearing Yuan lei's dubious question. historical

Xie Ming didn't even glance at Yuan Lei and looked at others and said, " Don't worry. It's totally edible. If you see, there are many plants that are edible while some are medicinal. And some are very special and rare but they taste very fresh and savory. That's why the food tastes different."

" Also using fresh herbs in the food not only makes the food more savory but it's very healthy as well. It can improve your digestive system and some herbs in it can also improve your heart health."

Everyone stared at Xie Ming in shock after hearing her words. Isn't she just an actress? How come she knows so many things?

" Hah. Do you think that we will believe your words?" Yuan Lei sneered but tried to maintain a smile on her face so that she won't look mean.
