Chapter 14 Never fight an unprepared battle

With a "click", the five people stood on the top of the mountain with their backs to the rolling green mountains behind them, smiling at the camera.

  After the staff member in charge of taking pictures made an ‘OK’ gesture to the guests, he couldn’t help but look down at the photos that had just been taken.

Before taking the photo, even though Jiang Lingxi was standing in the C position this time, he thought that the one with the stronger aura should be the actress She Man, followed by Xu Yin.

 But now when he looked at the photo, he only had one feeling.

It seems that Jiang Lingxi should stand in the center of the crowd. If she is moved to the edge, it will feel awkward.

After taking the photo, Lin Xuefei almost couldn't wait to leave where she was. Seeing that Jiang Lingxi was still standing in the middle, she was a little jealous and a little sarcastic.

She Man just gave me a hand, and this person really felt at ease and stood in the middle. He didn't even show any humility and directly let the more famous movie queen and singer accompany him.

When the photos are released, she wants to see if Jiang Lingxi will be laughed at again. At least the label of arrogance will definitely be slapped on her.

 From yesterday’s meeting to now, Jiang Lingxi has clearly recognized the other four guests.

Shaman Sheh, the actress, and Xu Yin, the singer, have been in the entertainment industry for the longest time and have enough seniority to be able to take root and still maintain a certain degree of popularity. They are both human beings who can make no mistakes easily.

Lin Xuefei's cultivation level is not that good in comparison. She can't hide some small thoughts at all. Compared with the previous two seniors, she still has room for learning.

As for Jiang Kaiyuan, she can see through it at a glance.

Sheman suddenly asked her to stand in the C position when taking pictures just now. Maybe she was really grateful to her for helping to find the ingredient card, but she also wanted to consider her meaning hidden in it.

 Normal people would usually choose to be humble when encountering this kind of situation. If it were the original person's character, they would definitely accept it without thinking.

 She was exercising restraint by not grabbing the C position. There was no reason to give it back when others had given it away.

However, this time Jiang Lingxi did not follow the normal approach. She has never been someone who is willing to wrong herself.

 The previous apology was for the original person, and it was also a temporary solution for her.

She did nothing wrong this time, and instead helped other guests, so she deserves the C position at all.

  After taking the photo, Jiang Lingxi was sensitive to the fact that She Man and Xu Yin were a little more distant from her. Perhaps her reaction this time, which was no different from the original ones, exceeded their expectations.

But she didn’t really care.

 The intimacy in front of the camera is inherently fake. When the recording is over, it is not certain whether we will work together again in the future.

Lin Xuefei also turned a blind eye with a mocking look in her eyes. As long as this person didn't dance in front of her, she could block any look.

It’s like she never even read the words on the Internet that were criticizing her.

As for Jiang Kaiyuan, who still looked so careless, he was already cheering that he could finally go down the mountain.

 The descent down the mountain was fairly easy.

It took more than an hour to walk up the mountain and rest. Everyone didn't stop on the way down the mountain. It took less than half an hour to reach the bottom of the mountain in one go.

 Walking back to the small country villa, none of them even bothered to change their clothes. They all sat on the sofa and didn't want to move.

If the staff hadn't rushed us, we would have been able to sit there until lunch time.

 Go back to the room to wash up briefly and change into clean clothes. Then come out and exchange the ingredients.

 Jiang Lingxi received flour, sugar, eggs, cream, fruits and other ingredients for making cakes.

Others took their own ingredient cards and received their own ingredients.

Just putting it on the table, Jiang Lingxi saw that there were at least twice as many ingredients in front of her as the others, and she couldn't help but pursed her lips.

From the looks of it, the food she is going to make next should be the most difficult. Jiang Kaiyuan couldn't wait to carry his plate of fruit into the kitchen. He wanted to make fruit salad, which is the simplest thing, and he couldn't wait to show off his skills.

 Lin Xuefei came in next. To make sushi, she had to steam the rice first. The rest could be rolled up and eaten directly, which was pretty simple.

She Man and Xu Yin then came in together. What they were doing was not difficult. She Man made sandwiches and Xu Yin made homemade drinks. They got started quickly after entering the kitchen.

It was just that the four people were busy. While Lin Xuefei was letting the steamed rice cool, she glanced at the three people who were busy beside her and frowned, "Where is Jiang Lingxi?"

Sheman took out the freshly fried eggs. After hearing the sound, she turned around and looked towards the living room. She saw Jiang Lingxi looking at a lot of ingredients on the coffee table, holding a mobile phone in her hand, and frowning.

Lin Xuefei looked away, lowered her voice but kept it at a volume that was just right for the radio to receive, "Is Jiang Lingxi just trying to mess it up?"

“Even if it doesn’t taste good, we all know it’s her first time, so she won’t say anything!”

Zhao Hengsheng, who was sitting behind the camera at the moment, put the drinking cup on the table and said, "We are moving to shoot, zoom in and see what Jiang Lingxi is looking at!"

 There has to be a limit to your willfulness. The previous part of the mountain climbing was pretty good, except for the one where you might get scolded when you stand in position C to take pictures.

It’s only been half a day, but you can’t pretend anymore?

Then he thinks a little too highly of this girl!

The camera obediently zoomed in, but the moment it was about to focus on the phone screen, the phone screen suddenly went black.

Jiang Lingxi looked back at the staff member who quietly came over. She didn't say a word, but the staff member subconsciously took two steps back, and she didn't dare to turn on the phone again.

 When Jiang Lingxi walked to the kitchen with the ingredients on the table, he patted his heart with a free hand and breathed a sigh of relief.

 Oh my God, I scared him to death!

In the kitchen, seeing Jiang Lingxi come in, Lin Xuefei, who originally thought she would show off her skills to the end, turned her back to the camera and turned her lips, while speeding up the movements of her hands.

She had to finish her work quickly and go out, so she could stay and watch Jiang Lingxi's kitchen bombing show.

 When she lowered her head and carefully cut a sushi roll and prepared to plate it, she realized that the kitchen was a little quiet.

 Looking up, he saw Jiang Lingxi opposite, making dough for a cake.

 Add water, stir, knead the dough, and add ingredients, meticulously.

 Just looking at it, I feel a little familiar.

  Until Sheman suddenly said: "Xiao Xi's technique looks quite professional!"

 Lin Xuefei suddenly came back to her senses. As an artist, it was difficult for her to eat cakes and other foods, but she was greedy for this, so she liked to watch short videos of making cakes on her mobile phone.

As for Jiang Lingxi's current movements, not only are they exactly the same as those in the short video, they are just copied.

The key point is that most people will be in a hurry when they first start, and they will even put the wrong materials or put less materials when they are busy, but Jiang Lingxi gives her the feeling that she has done it thousands of times.

 “You, you just...”

Looking at your phone isn’t just about watching tutorials on how to make small cakes in the middle of battle, right?

 No way, right?

She would rather believe that Jiang Lingxi had done it before than believe that this person could do it so well the first time!

Putting the prepared bread dough into the steaming oven, Jiang Lingxi followed the steps and started to beat the cream in an orderly manner. By the way, she also put some chocolate to relieve the sweetness. She broke Lin Xuefei's belief by saying, "It's the first time to make it. Learn from the Internet.”

 This is called not fighting an unprepared battle.

When he saw with his own eyes a small cake that was no different from what he saw in ordinary videos taking shape under his eyes, and even the decorations on it were perfectly matched, Xu Yin couldn't help but pinch some leftovers and taste them, and then looked a little complicated. He looked over and said: "Xiao Xi, is this really your first time making a cake?"

This is so embarrassing for her, who once almost tortured the pastry chef she invited to cry in order to learn how to make cakes!
