Entertaining Children

   Chapter 810

   That night, Louis called Xiao Yao as scheduled. Luis has brought good news. He has adjusted his schedule and can come to Xiao Yao for diving training starting tomorrow.

  The next day, when Louis came to Paddo Island with his diving equipment to look for Xiao Yao, he heard two 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 in the center of the island surrounded by a rainforest, several kilometers away from the sea. Although there is water under the waterfall, he and Xiao Yao's diving training is to be conducted in the sea, and certainly cannot be changed to the pool under the waterfall. This also means that it seems difficult for them to see the models during the day.

   To make matters worse, the filming in Pado lasted only two days. This evening, the entire filming team will move to the last filming location on the island of Vieques. Xiao Yao invited Louis to live with him, and his plans to be neighbors with the models seemed to be overwhelmed.

  Xiao Yao didn't care about the shooting this time, so he didn't know about Chen Xuan's shooting arrangements. The conversation with Louis yesterday was a bit taken for granted. Chen Xuan knew about these follow-up arrangements. He also heard Xiao Yao's conversation with Louis on the ship yesterday. But he saw that Xiao Yao was so interested in learning to dive, he kept agitating Louis, and he didn't tell the truth to dismantle Xiao Yao's platform.

  As for Louis, what should I do? That was the problem Xiao Yao needed to solve, and Chen Xuan didn't care about it at all. Xiao Yao has been a human being since he was a child, and Chen Xuan believes that he must have a way to get Louis. Of course, even if it can't be done, it is Xiao Yao's own business. Who made him completely ignore the matter of this shooting?

  Although Louis is unlikely to regret it after agreeing to Xiao Yao, Xiao Yao does not want to give people the impression of a "liar". After learning these two news, he knew Louis's purpose and quickly made remedial measures. Don’t you just want to see models? This is not difficult for Xiao Yao.

  First of all, when I was learning to dive today, I would definitely not see the models, but they weren't all soaked in the water during the day, and the models weren't the ones who stayed in the rainforest all day. Everyone always has to eat at noon, right? The equipment in the cabin is complete, with both a bathroom and a kitchen. The shooting team also brought enough ingredients. Xiao Yao decided to cook in the cabin by himself at noon, and invited the models to come over for dinner. Louis, the diving instructor, will also participate in the dinner together, so naturally you can feast your eyes on it.

  As for the inability of Louis to be neighbors with the models, there is no other way. However, the island of Vieques is not far from Puerto Rico, where San Juan is located. After the transfer to Vieques, Luis was asked to come to Vieques to continue teaching him diving. The island of Vieques is inhabited, and the filming location must be on the seaside with few people. At that time, you can still satisfy Louis's desire to watch supermodels.

  It was expected that he would go to Vieques to continue diving training, but Xiao Yao specially cooked and invited the models to eat in order to let him see the beautiful women, and Louis was very moved. At this point, Louis also personally presented Xiao Yao a free surfing lesson. Although Puerto Rico is not a mecca for surfing and the waves on the beach are not big, it is enough to learn some basic surfing skills.

  I heard that Xiao Yao personally cooks and invites everyone to dinner. He still invites all the twelve models at the same time. The models happily agreed, and they all expressed their desire to see the Chinese youth’s cooking skills.

  Xiao Yao and Louis met at 7 o’clock in the morning on Pado Island, set out to dive in the sea for three hours, and then went back to their cabin to prepare lunch.

  A small wooden house could not accommodate more than a dozen people to eat at the same time, and a table could not hold enough food for a dozen people. Xiao Yao put the gathering place on the open space outside the house. Not only did he move out the table in his house, but he also moved the table in the two cabins next door and placed it outside of his house.

  This lunch, Xiao Yao did not ask the logistics staff of the filming team to help, and even Louis offered 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 alone really produced enough food for more than a dozen people.

  When it was time to rest at noon, not only did the twelve models gathered in front of Xiao Yao’s cabin, but even the photographer Chen Xuan was also not invited. Seeing more than a dozen plates of food on three tables, a group of people moved their index fingers and rushed up with a cheer.

There are only six chairs in the three wooden houses, obviously not enough for more than a dozen people. Xiao Yao didn’t want to travel farther to move the chairs back and forth, so he turned lunch into a buffet and prepared a dozen dishes. And forks, let everyone free to use.

"tasty!"

"good to eat!"

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

  Everyone ate happily, and praised Xiao Yao constantly.

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

  The shooting team purchased ingredients in San Juan. Naturally, they were mainly local ingredients. Xiao Yao did not cook Chinese food. Instead, he checked the recipes online and made them according to the local dishes taught on the Internet. After making these things, Xiao Yao also tried them. The taste is certainly not bad, but it should not be as good as the models say. Perhaps because of work, everyone has always been a fast food solution at noon. It is rare to have such a hearty meal at lunch, which invisibly magnifies the taste.

   "Okay, when we have the opportunity to go to China, we will definitely find you!" The models shouted with a smile.

   "Fay, control your appetite." Tracy cried, pointing to the feasting Faye, "As a model, it's a big deal to lose shape!"

   "Don't worry, I will exercise and consume it!" Faye said indifferently, "Don't say me, you don't eat a lot yourself."

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

   "Huh?" Faye looked at the food on the plate and turned to Chen Xuan and shouted, "Tier, I hate you! Why don't you let me shoot in the morning?"

"Huh?" Chen Xuan, who was overwhelmed with food, paused in surprise, and immediately shifted the artillery. "If you hate it, you hate it! Who knew he would invite everyone to lunch today." After that, Chen Xuan again. Continue to bury his head and wipe out the food in his hands. As a photographer, he consumes a lot more energy than models.

   "Hey, why did it become my fault to treat someone to dinner?" Xiao Yao said helplessly.

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

  In the evening, both sides finished their work. Louis drove back to San Juan by himself, while Xiao Yao headed to Vieques with the filming team.

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

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

  After ten minutes, everyone arrived at the place of the party. After getting off the bus, Xiao Yao found 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, with many colorful lights hung on the roof, railings and pillars. The location of the party should not be in the wooden house, but under the big wooden shed. At this time, many people were sitting or standing gathering there.

  Xiao Yao and Chen Xuan walked into the wooden shed together with the models, while the shooting team behind was looking for locations around to set up cameras. This party is obviously also an important content in future documentaries.

  After discovering the arrival of the models and the shooting team, the people in the wooden shed cheered and greeted them with applause. However, everyone just smiled and applauded 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 also received some behavioral instructions in advance. Therefore, the models, Xiao Yao and Chen Xuan were very free to move, and they went to find things they were interested in.

  Xiao Yao looked around and found that the short side of the L-shaped wooden shed was where the band was. The band has modern instruments such as drums, keyboards, and bass, as well as the tambourine 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 and singing a lively Spanish song. Judging from the band's performance style, this is not a rock band, it shows a full of Latin style.

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

  For the time being, it's a card game, because these locals play things that Xiao Yao hasn't seen before. It was a flat rectangular white domino with different black dots on one side. Those black dots make this kind of dominoes look like Chinese Pai Gow at first glance, but this kind of dominoes are not only different in color from Pai Gow, but also different in size and quantity. 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 all inclined surfaces with a support underneath. Everyone puts the dominoes in his hands on the inclined surface of the wooden plate in front of him. The three can't see it. Everyone picked the dominoes in front of them and put them in the middle of the table according to a certain rule, a bit like the "playing cards" in Chinese Mahjong. But compared with mahjong, this domino game is also very different. Not only is the number of dominoes very different, it seems that there are no rules for drawing cards, eating, and touching.

  It is not just Xiao Yao who is attracted by this characteristic 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 several models gathered around the square table playing the domino game and looked at it with interest.

  Several models stood by and looked around for a while, and found that they didn’t seem to understand. Sally looked up and saw Xiao Yao standing next to him, and asked, "Yang, would you play this?"

   "Not before, but it will be soon!" Xiao Yao replied.

   "What do you mean?" Sally asked puzzled.

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

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

   "Bringing!" Sally rolled her eyes in disbelief.

  "I'll play with you later!" Xiao Yao smiled.

   "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 if Xiao Yao would be.

   "Thank you!" Xiao Yao thanked him, and sat down in the place of the old man, and started to fight with the other three.

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

  After Xiao Yao sat up, the actions of "shuffling" and "drawing cards" were all done in a decent way, and the speed of "carding" was also very fast, and there was almost no hesitation. The three local people nearby did not point out Xiao Yao’s mistakes, and there was no sign of “covering” Xiao Yao in their expressions. A few models could easily see that Xiao Yao really learned and played with other people. .

   "Young, teach me, I want to play too!" Sally said immediately after a round.

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

   "Gentlemen, can you let them try?" Xiao Yao said to the other three local people.

   "Of course!" The other three also happily stepped aside.

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

   "I will tell you about the rules of this game first." Xiao Yao said to the three sitting down.

  The gameplay of this thing is actually not complicated. Although several models don't understand it well, after Xiao Yao's explanation, it immediately became clear and quickly understood.

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

   Xiao Yao curled his lips when he heard the words, smiled and shook his head. This domino game is very simple, and its fun is much worse than Chinese Mahjong and Pai Gow. Xiao Yao played a few games, and once the novelty passed, he was no longer interested. This is because there are three beautiful models at the same table, and Xiao Yao has been patient with them until now. If it were the same local elders, Xiao Yao would have gotten up and left. Listening to Sally screaming how interesting this game is, Xiao Yao naturally couldn't agree with it.

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

"Nothing," Xiao Yao said with a smile, "I just thought that China has a kind of entertainment called "Mahjong", which is also played by four people. There are a total of more than 100 cards. It is much more complicated than this, and of course it is much more interesting. ."

  ""Mahjong"? More than a hundred cards? How to play?" Sally said with interest.

   "There is no "Mahjong" here, it is difficult to explain it like that." Xiao Yao said, "When you have the opportunity to go to China, I will teach you!"

   "Okay!" Sally smiled and nodded.

  "Talk about Chinese food at noon and Chinese Mahjong at night, are you going to hook them all to Huaxia?" Chen Xuan didn't know where he got out, and patted Xiao Yao on the shoulder with a smile.

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

   "I only have half the Chinese blood, you are all!" Chen Xuan smiled, "I want to suggest, and when Eva is looking for you to make a swimsuit special, you can go to Eva's high-level suggestion."

   "I agree!" Sally raised her hand immediately.

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

  I don’t know if they agreed to go to China to shoot the swimsuit special next time, or agreed that the swimsuit special should be filmed by Xiao Yao, or maybe both? In fact, none of them have been to China. These days, they have got along with Xiao Yao, a young Chinese man. Not only are they very fond of Xiao Yao, they are also very curious about the country where Xiao Yao was raised.

"Come on, Eva won't find me to take a swimsuit special." Xiao Yao smiled and shook his head. "Even if they find me, I don't have your ability to follow this project. This kind of project , I'm just being a messenger at best!"

   "Come on!" Chen Xuan unceremoniously opened Xiao Yao and said, "I don't know about your other skills, don't I know your photography ability? Laziness is laziness. What is the reason?"
