Entertaining Children

That night, Louis called Xiao Yao as scheduled. What Louis brought was good news. He has adjusted his schedule, and he can come over to give Xiao Yao diving training starting tomorrow.

The next day, when Louis came to Pado Island to look for Xiao Yao with his diving equipment, he heard two pieces of news that were not so good for him.

First of all, according to Chen Xuan's shooting plan, today's shooting location is not on the beach by the sea, but at a waterfall surrounded by a rainforest in the center of the island, several kilometers away from the sea. Although there is water under the waterfall, his and Xiao Yao's diving training is to be conducted in the sea, and it must not be changed to the pool under the waterfall. This also means that they seem to have a hard time seeing models during the day.

To make matters worse, the shoot in Pardo only lasted two days. This evening, the entire filming team will be transferred to Vieques Island, the last filming location. Xiao Yao invited Louis to live with him, and his plan to be neighbors with the models seemed to be in vain.

Xiao Yao didn't care about this filming at all, so he didn't know about Chen Xuan's filming arrangements. The conversation with Louis yesterday was a bit taken for granted. Chen Xuan knew about these follow-up arrangements. He also heard the conversation between Xiao Yao and Louis on the boat yesterday. But he saw that Xiao Yao was so interested in learning to dive, and he kept encouraging Louis, but he didn't tell the truth to demolish Xiao Yao's platform.

As for Louis being cheated? That was a problem that Xiao Yao needed to solve, and Chen Xuan didn't take it to heart at all. Xiao Yao has been a genius since he was a child, and Chen Xuan believes that he must have a way to deal with Louis. Of course, even if it can't be done, it's Xiao Yao's own business. Who told him to completely ignore the matter of this shooting?

Although Louis is unlikely to go back on his promise to Xiao Yao, Xiao Yao doesn't want to give people the impression of a "liar". After hearing these two pieces of news, he knew Louis' purpose quickly and took remedial measures. Don't you just want to see models? This is not difficult for Xiao Yao.

First of all, the models are definitely not seen when learning to dive today, but they are not all soaked in the water during the day, nor are the models staying in the rainforest all day. Everyone has to eat at noon, right? The equipment in the log cabin is very complete, including bathroom and kitchen, and the shooting team also brought enough ingredients, so Xiao Yao decided to cook in the log cabin by himself at noon, and invited the models to have dinner. Luis, the diving instructor, will also join the dinner party at that time, so naturally he can feast his eyes.

As for the inability to let Louis be neighbors with the models, that is impossible. However, Vieques Island is not far from Puerto Rico Island where San Juan is located. After the transfer to Vieques Island, Louis was asked to come to Vieques Island to continue teaching him diving. Vieques Island is inhabited, and the filming location must be on the seaside with few people. At that time, Louis' desire to see supermodels can still be satisfied.

It was expected to go to Vieques Island to continue diving training later, but Xiao Yao specially cooked and invited the models to eat in order to let him see the beauties, and Louis was very moved. Just for this, Louis also personally gave Xiao Yao a free surfing lesson. Although Puerto Rico is not a holy place for surfing, the waves on the beach are not big, but it is enough to learn some basic surfing skills.

I heard that Xiao Yao personally cooked for everyone and invited everyone to dinner, or all twelve models at the same time. The models agreed happily, and expressed their desire to experience the cooking skills of this Chinese youth.

Xiao Yao and Louis met at Pado Island at seven in the morning, set off to dive in the sea for three hours, and then returned to their cabin to prepare lunch.

A small wooden house can't accommodate a dozen people to eat at the same time, and a table can't hold enough food for a dozen people, so Xiao Yao put the dining place in the open space outside the house. Not only did he move out the table from his own house, he also moved the tables from the two cabins next door and placed them outside his house.

For lunch this time, Xiao Yao did not ask the logistics staff of the filming team to help,

Even Louis refused to help when he went to the wooden house next door to move the table. In the two hours from ten o'clock to twelve o'clock, Xiao Yao really cooked enough food for a dozen people by himself.

When it was time for a break at noon, not only the twelve models gathered in front of Xiao Yao's cabin, but even Chen Xuan, the photographer, came uninvited. Seeing more than a dozen plates of food filled with three tables, a group of people waved their index fingers and rushed up with cheers.

There are only six chairs in total in the three cabins, obviously not enough for a dozen people, and Xiao Yao didn’t want to travel farther to carry the chairs back and forth, so he made his lunch a buffet and prepared more than a dozen plates And a fork, let everyone take it freely.

"tasty!"

"tasty!"

"Yang! I didn't expect your cooking skills to be really good."

Everyone ate happily, and there were endless praises for Xiao Yao.

"The ingredients are limited, so I can only do this." Xiao Yao said modestly, "Whenever you have the opportunity to go to Huaxia, I will take you to eat real food!"

The filming team purchased ingredients from San Juan and brought them here. Naturally, they mainly use local ingredients. What Xiao Yao cooks is not Chinese food. Instead, he checked the recipes on the Internet and made them according to the local dishes taught online. After these things were made, Xiao Yao tried them himself, and the taste was definitely not bad, but it probably wasn't as good as the models said. Perhaps due to work reasons, everyone has always settled for fast food at noon. It is rare to have such a hearty meal at lunch, which invisibly magnifies the feeling of taste.

"Okay, when we have the opportunity to go to Huaxia, we will definitely go to you!" The models all laughed and shouted.

"Fey, control your appetite." Trish pointed at Fay, who was feasting, and shouted, "As a model, it's a big taboo to get out of shape!"

"Don't worry, I will use it up by exercising!" Fay said indifferently, "Don't blame me, you ate a lot yourself, too."

"The lunch break is only one hour, how do you spend it? You are the first one to take pictures in the afternoon. If you eat a belly, how do you take pictures?" Tracy smiled, "My shooting today is over, of course I can open up eat!"

"Ah?" Fay looked at the food on the plate, turned to Chen Xuan and shouted, "Thielle, I hate you! Why don't you let me take pictures in the morning?"

"Huh?" Chen Xuan, who was eating happily, stopped for a moment in surprise, and immediately diverted the fire, "If you want to hate, you will hate Yang! Who knew he would invite everyone to lunch today." After finishing speaking, Chen Xuan Continue to bury your head and wipe out the food in your hand. As a photographer, his physical energy consumption is much higher than that of the models.

"Hey, why is it my fault to treat guests to dinner?" Xiao Yao spread his hands helplessly.

After a lively lunch, the filming team returned to the waterfall in the center of the island to continue filming. Xiao Yao and Louis also returned to the sea to continue diving training.

In the evening, both sides finished their work. Louis returned to San Juan by himself, while Xiao Yao set off for Vieques with the filming team.

At noon, Xiao Yao invited everyone to a dinner party, which was already a surprise for the models. In the evening, the shooting team gave the models another surprise. After arriving in Vieques Island, the person in charge of the shooting team informed the models that a party was prepared for everyone tonight. There will be a band performing for you, and some local people will also be present to have a party with you. Hearing the news, the models naturally cheered again.

After dinner, everyone set off in several cars. As the translator, bodyguard and guide of the models, Xiao Yao naturally went with them.

Ten minutes later, everyone arrived at the location of the party. After getting off the car, Xiao Yao found that in front of him was a large wooden house built on the beach not far from the sea. There is a large L-shaped wooden shed outside the wooden house, and many colored lights are hung on the roof, railings and pillars. The place of the party should not be in the wooden house, but under the big wooden shed. At this time, many people were already sitting or standing there.

Xiao Yao and Chen Xuan walked into the wooden shed together with the models, while the shooting team behind them looked for locations around to set up cameras. This party is obviously an important part of future documentaries.

After discovering that the models and the shooting team had arrived, the people in the wooden shed cheered and greeted them with applause. But everyone just laughed and clapped and cheered, but no one surrounded the models like fans chasing stars. This is a party prepared in advance. Everyone has known that these supermodels are coming, and they have received some behavioral instructions in advance. Therefore, the models, Xiao Yao, and Chen Xuan moved freely, and went to play with things they were interested in.

Xiao Yao looked around and found that the space on the short side of the L-shaped wooden shed was where the band was. The band has not only modern instruments such as drums, keyboards, and bass, but also local special instruments such as tambourines that I saw in San Juan a few days ago. The lead singer of the band is a guitarist with an acoustic guitar on his back, singing a light Spanish song. Judging from the band's performance style, this is not a rock band, it shows a full Latin style.

However, what attracted Xiao Yao most in the studio was not the band, but a square table placed at the junction of the long and short sides. Xiao Yao was surprised to find that in this place and in this environment, there were actually several local old people sitting at the square table in the shed playing cards.

Let’s just count it as playing cards, because these locals are playing something that Xiao Yao has never seen before. It was a flat, cuboid white domino with distinct black spots on one side. Those black dots made this kind of domino look like Chinese Pai Gow at first glance, but this kind of domino is not only different from Pai Gow in color, but also different in size and number. In addition, the gameplay is completely different from Pai Gow.

These dominoes are played on a square wooden plate on the table. The four sides of the wooden plate are slopes, and there are supports below. The three are invisible. Everyone picked up the dominoes in front of them and placed them in the middle of the table according to certain rules, a bit like "playing cards" in Chinese Mahjong. But compared with mahjong, this kind of domino game is also very different. Not only the number of dominoes varies greatly, but also there seems to be no rules for drawing cards, eating and touching.

It wasn't just Xiao Yao who was attracted by this special card game. After the models entered the wooden shed, some stood in front of the band that was performing, some scattered among the locals, and a few models gathered around the square table playing dominoes, looking at it with great interest.

Several models stood by and looked at it for a while, but found that they didn't seem to understand. Sally looked up and saw Xiao Yao standing beside her, so she asked, "Yang, can you play this?"

"Not before, but soon!" Xiao Yao replied.

"What do you mean?" Sally asked puzzled.

"It means that I should be able to learn it after watching them play a few games." Xiao Yao explained with a smile.

In fact, Xiao Yao can also directly ask the few locals who are playing. But seeing that the few locals who were playing were all gray-haired old people, I was afraid that they would not be able to explain clearly, and I didn't want to disturb them, so I just watched it myself.

"Bragging!" Sally rolled her eyes in disbelief.

"I'll show you later!" Xiao Yao laughed.

"I'm waiting!" Sally said.

"Sir, can you let me try?" After watching two more rounds, Xiao Yao leaned over and said to an old man in front of him.

"Yes." The old man stood up cheerfully without asking Xiao Yao if he would.

"Thank you!" Xiao Yao thanked, sat in the old man's seat, and "fighted" with the other three.

"Really learned it so quickly?" Several models were a little dumbfounded.

After Xiao Yao sat on it, the actions of "shuffling" and "drawing cards" were well done, and the speed of "playing cards" was also very fast, with almost no hesitation. The three locals next to him didn't point out Xiao Yao's mistakes, and there was no sign of "covering up" Xiao Yao in their expressions. It was easy for the models to see that Xiao Yao had really learned and played with other people. .

"Yang, teach me, I want to play too!" Sally said immediately after one game.

"I want to play too!" The other two models also said.

"Gentlemen, can you let them try too?" Xiao Yao asked the other three locals.

"Of course!" The other three also gave way happily.

"Oh yeah!" The three models also sat down happily.

"Let me tell you the rules and gameplay of this first." Xiao Yao said to the three people who sat down.

The gameplay of this thing is actually not complicated. Although several models didn't understand it well, after Xiao Yao's explanation, it suddenly became clear and they figured it out quickly.

"This is very interesting! I want to buy a pair to take home and teach my family and friends how to play together." After playing a few rounds, Sally announced happily.

Xiao Yao curled his lips when he heard this, smiled and shook his head. This domino game is very simple, and its fun is much worse than Huaxia's Mahjong and Pai Gow. Xiao Yao played a few games, and once the novelty wore off, he lost interest long ago. This is because there are three beautiful models at the same table, so Xiao Yao has been playing with them patiently until now. If it was still the local elders just now, Xiao Yao got up and left long ago. Hearing Sally shouting how interesting this game is, Xiao Yao naturally couldn't agree.

"Yang, why are you shaking your head?" Sally, who was sitting opposite Xiao Yao, noticed Xiao Yao's movements very keenly, and asked Xiao Yao curiously.

"It's nothing," Xiao Yao said with a smile, "I just thought that there is a kind of entertainment in Huaxia called "Mahjong", which is also played by four people. There are more than one hundred cards in total. It is much more complicated than this, and of course it is also much more interesting. .”

""Mahjong"? More than a hundred cards? How to play?" Sally asked very interestedly.

"There is no "Mahjong" here, so it's hard to just explain it that way." Xiao Yao said, "When you have the opportunity to go to Huaxia, I will teach you!"

"Okay!" Sally nodded with a smile.

"We talk about Chinese food at noon, and Chinese mahjong at night. Are you planning to hook them all to Huaxia?" Chen Xuan came out of nowhere, patted Xiao Yao's shoulder and smiled.

"Why not?" Xiao Yao turned around and said with a smile, "Huaxia has a very long history, and now its economy is developing very well. There are all kinds of natural scenery such as islands, rainforests, deserts, grasslands, and plateaus. It is a good place to go. .Actually, I think, the next time Eva asks you to shoot a swimsuit special, you can definitely suggest that Eva go to Huaxia to shoot. Don’t forget, you are also half of Chinese blood!"

"I'm only half of Chinese blood, but you are all of them!" Chen Xuan laughed, "If you want to suggest, you should wait for Eva to ask you to shoot a swimsuit special, and you can go to Eva's senior management to make suggestions."

"I agree!" Sally immediately raised her hand.

"I agree too!" The two models echoed with a smile.

I don't know if they agree to go to Huaxia for the next swimsuit special, or agree that Xiao Yao will shoot the swimsuit special, or maybe both? In fact, none of them have ever been to China. After getting along with Xiao Yao, a young man in China these days, they not only have a good impression of Xiao Yao and are very interested in him, they are also full of curiosity about the country that raised Xiao Yao.

"Come on, Eva won't ask me to shoot a swimsuit special." Xiao Yao shook his head with a smile and said, "Even if they did find me, I don't have the skills you have to continue this project. This kind of project , I’m just a handyman at best!”

"Come on!" Chen Xuan said unceremoniously to expose Xiao Yao, "I don't know about your other skills, but I don't know about your photography skills? Lazy is lazy, what's the reason?"
