Entertaining Children

   Chapter 962

Looking at the scratches on the luggage surface that Yang Yu brought, the people in the show team were a little guilty and embarrassed. Therefore, Yang Yu and others did not spend much effort to bargain with the director team. The chief director of the show, Zhou Kai, agreed. Using a can of gas as compensation for scratched suitcases, even a few people didn't even let a few people give out the excuse that Xiao Yao's prepared suitcase had been given to Luo Chongwen.

  Although the program director group happily gave a can of gas as compensation, the recording of the program was a program. The reality is reality, and the reckless program staff still did not escape the criticism and education of Luo Chongwen. Of course, Luo Chongwen did not go to ask for gas with the three of Xiao Yao, but found another time to teach them after the filming ended.

  After a few people were about to get gas, everyone went to sit in the shed outside for a while. Yang Yu looked at the time, and consciously ran to the firewood room to bring in wooden piers, an axe and some thick firewood, ready to chop the firewood.

   "Can I try it?" Xiao Yao walked over with interest and asked as he watched Yang Yu want to chop firewood.

   "Of course!" Yang Yu smiled and nodded.

  The main stove in the mushroom house is firewood. Chopping wood is a very daily job in the mushroom house, and basically every male guest will experience it after coming. Yang Yu didn't need to ask Luo Chongwen's opinion, and simply handed the axe in his hand to Xiao Yao.

  But chopping wood is a technical job, not every guest can do it. After Yang Yu handed the axe to Xiao Yao, he didn't leave either. Instead, he guided the movement of chopping wood beside him and said, "This way..."

A piece of log has been placed on the wooden pier. Xiao Yao picked up the axe in both hands and raised and fell. With a "pop", the log split into two halves and flew out from the middle.

   "Is that so?" Xiao Yao smiled and asked Yang Yu, who had just said two words next to him and his eyes widened, as if he had been caught in the fixation technique and stopped.

   "I'm going!" Yang Yu cried out, "I've been hacking for so long, and my movements are not so neat!"

   "Okay, Xiaoyu, come back!" Ke Jun smiled and waved, "Don't show off there, people are much better at chopping wood than you!"

   "I don't believe it!" Qiu Zhihao ran over, picked up another uncut log and placed it on the wooden pier, saying, "You do it again!"

   "Okay, stand up a little bit and watch out for the firewood to fly out and hit it." Xiao Yao exhorted and raised his axe again.

   "Pop!" The log on the wooden pier turned into two halves again and flew out to both sides.

  This time Xiao Yao’s strength has increased a bit. The axe smashed into the wooden pier and pulled out with a little effort.

   "Awesome!" Luo Chongwen and Ke Jun both clapped and exclaimed.

   "It's so lively, are you coming again?" Suddenly a voice came in from outside the yard.

  Everyone turned their heads and saw that another courtyard door was pushed open, and two middle-aged men carrying fishing rods and buckets came in.

  The two people who came in were Xu Zhen and Yu Yaohui. They were the guests who came yesterday. They had already met them. Luo Chongwen did not get up to greet them. Only Ke Jun and Yang Yu greeted them.

   "Are you back?" Luo Chongwen turned his head to look at the two people who entered the door and smiled, "You know you are coming again before you even enter the door?"

  "Outside, I heard you shouting something amazing," Xu Zhen said with a smile, "I think you guys shouldn't be so boring to praise yourself, you guessed it is today's new guests."

   "Really smart!" Luo Chongwen laughed, "Why don't you say it's extremely smart!"

  "Fuck you!" Xu Zhen gave Luo Chongwen a dissatisfied look. He was bald, and immediately heard Luo Chongwen's puns.

   Xiao Yao saw the two guests coming back from yesterday, and put down his axe and walked up with Yang Yu. After Ke Jun and Yang Yu took the fishing rods and buckets in their hands, Xiao Yao took the initiative to extend his hand to say hello to Xu Zhen: "Hello Director Xu, this is Xiao Yao!"

   "Oh, long admiring the name, hello, hello!" Xu Zhen smiled and shook hands with Xiao Yao.

  "Don't dare!" Xiao Yao said modestly, "The name I admire for you is true!"

  "Hello, Yu Yaohui!" After Xu Zhen and Xiao Yao greeted them, Yu Yaohui, who was next to him, proactively extended his hand and introduced himself.

   "Hello, Teacher Yu," Xiao Yao shook hands with Yu Yaohui, "I heard my grandfather mentioned you, he said that your acting skills are very solid and you are a very rare good actor!"

  Yu Yaohui is indeed an actor with very good acting skills, but he generally plays most supporting roles and is not well-known. Xiao Yao didn't talk about his long admiration for his famous name, but took a polite greeting from an old artist in the show business world to affirm him, which was exactly what Yu Yaohui wanted.

   "Where, Mr. Xiao passed the prize! Ashamed and ashamed!" Yu Yaohui smiled happily, and then said with concern, "Is the old man's health okay?"

   "My grandfather is in good health. Some time ago, he went to a cast as a guest role in a crew. You are interested!" Xiao Yao replied with a smile.

   "Old Xu, are you fishing?" Luo Chongwen asked Xu Zhen over there.

   "No, none of them were caught!" Xu Zhen shook his head and smiled bitterly.

   "Really there is no one!" Ke Jun turned the bucket in his hand upside down and showed it to Luo Chongwen.

   "It's okay, we will go fishing in that fish pond in the afternoon!" Luo Chongwen laughed, "Come and sit down for a while! Have a cup of tea!"

  Xu Zhen and Yu Yaohui went to sit down in the pergola to rest, and Xiao Yao went back to the woodpile to continue chopping wood.

"Hey! Xiao Yao is very good at chopping wood!" Xu Zhen smiled and boasted watching Xiao Yao split a log in half with an axe. Up!"

   "Old Xu, let's leave in a while, what's easy?" Yu Yaohui laughed aside, "It's also easy for Teacher Luo and Teacher Ke to be easy."

   "Yes!" Xu Zhen touched his bald head suddenly, smiled and said to Luo Chongwen, "You are good at picking guests!"

   "That is, of course we have to pick some who can work. If they are all like you, we shouldn't be exhausted!" Luo Chongwen laughed.

"No, Director Xu and Teacher Yu did a lot of work yesterday." Ke Jun helped Xu Zhen and the two to say something fair, then turned to Xiao Yao and said, "Xiao Yao, just feel it, come and sit here. Come on! The time for you to work is mainly this afternoon, save your energy and do it in the afternoon!"

   "It's okay," Xiao Yao smiled and shook his head, "Chopping wood is very fun, I will play a little longer, and I can do something in the afternoon as well!"

  Luo Chongwen sat in the pergola for a while, chatted with Xu Zhen and others for a while, and saw that the time was almost up, and stood up and said, “It’s almost time to get lunch. Let’s make something simple at noon. Can we eat noodles?”

   "Okay!" Xu Zhen and Yu Yaohui both nodded.

   "I'm going to have lunch?" Xiao Yao put down his axe and said to Luo Chongwen who walked into the house, "I'll go to the kitchen to help you."

   "Forget it, lunch is relatively simple, so I don't need your help." Luo Chongwen looked at Xiao Yao and said, "You have chopped a lot of firewood here, so go take a rest."

   "It's okay," Xiao Yao moved his body joints and said, "Chopping this little firewood is equivalent to warming up, I'm not tired at all."

   "Hey, you have been hacking for a long time, and there is no sweat on your body!" Luo Chongwen looked at Xiao Yao carefully, and then exclaimed, "You are so young!"

   "Okay, then you come in and help me chop the meat and make meat sauce noodles at noon!" Luo Chongwen waved his hand, "The axe makes good, let's see how you make the knife!"

  "Good!" Xiao Yao agreed.

  Eating noodles at noon sounds like a relatively simple choice, but Luo Chongwen makes meat sauce noodles, and the process of making meat sauce is not simple. But fortunately, the work of cooking was not on Luo Chongwen alone. Yang Yu burned the fire, Ke Jun and Qiu Zhihao helped wash the vegetables and prepare the tableware, Xiao Yao helped chop the meat, and everyone worked together to create a big pot of fragrant meat sauce. The noodles and some side dishes were quickly prepared and brought to the table.

  Seven people gathered in the pergola in the yard and ate lunch lively. After a short break, Xu Zhen and Yu Yaohui said goodbye.

  After the two packed their luggage, the patriarch and guest Xiao Yao sent them to the gate of the courtyard. Ke Jun and Qiu Zhihao and Yang Yu who helped with the luggage kept sending them to the car.

  After sending the two away and returning to the courtyard, Ke Jun, Qiu Zhihao and Yang Yu washed the dishes and cleaned up the mess. Luo Chongwen sat down to rest, and Xiao Yao went to the door of the house and picked up an axe.

   "Xiao Yao went to chop firewood again!" Luo Chongwen looked at Xiao Yao who was chopping firewood and smiled, "How much Xiao Yao likes to chop firewood!"

   "Xiao Yao, did you pick up any costume films in the second half of the year? You want to play an axe general or something. How about our axe here to find the feeling?" Ke Jun, who was washing dishes by the pool in the yard, also laughed.

"No," Xiao Yao said with a smile, "Isn't it normal for boys to like weapons like swords, guns, swords, and halberds? I can't go to the kitchen to take a kitchen knife and wave it around, right? It's too naive, so you can only play with an axe. At any rate, you look at work!"

   "That's right, we still have a hammer to play here, and I look at it at work!" Yang Yu, who was wiping the table, dropped the rag and ran to the tool room to bring out an iron shelf and a big hammer.

"Xiao Yao, you can chop these large pieces of firewood almost, but the chopped pieces are still relatively thick, and we need some thinner ones when we burn the fire. If it is thinner, it will not be easy to chop with this long-handled axe. Now, we use this to split it even more finely!" After speaking, Yang Yu showed it to him.

  The iron frame is a circle with four legs underneath. The middle of the two opposing legs is welded with a thick iron piece, and the side of the iron piece facing upward is sharpened. Yang Yu picked up a piece of firewood and placed it on top of the iron sheet, and hit the top of the firewood with a hammer. The part under the firewood was split by the iron sheet.

   "This thing is really good!" Xiao Yao understood when Yang Yu had chopped a piece of firewood, and smiled and praised, "It's really much easier to use this thing!"

   "Understood?" Yang Yu smiled and put the hammer on the ground next to Xiao Yao, "Then you have finished playing with the axe in a while, you can continue playing with the hammer!"

   "Teacher Ke, I feel that I don't need to chop wood for these two days!" Yang Yu turned to look at Ke Jun, and smiled triumphantly.

  In the mushroom house, chopping firewood is basically the work of Yang Yu and Qiu Zhihao, of which Yang Yu is the youngest. General guests come to the mushroom house to chop firewood just a few times and feel it. This time, Yang Yu felt very lucky to meet Xiao Yao, a flying guest who likes to chop firewood.

   "Just want to be lazy!" Luo Chongwen pointed at Yang Yu and cursed with a smile. But speaking of it, as long as Xiao Yao is willing, Luo Chongwen will not stop it.

   "But I don't think this has any technical content, I don't want to play!" Luo Chongwen didn't say anything, but Xiao Yao suddenly turned to Yang Yu and said.

   "Huh?" Yang Yu's smile solidified.

  Although it is not as difficult to split the whole log with a long-handled axe to split the log with an iron frame, it seems relatively simple, but it takes a lot of physical strength to knock it off with one hammer and one hammer. Xiao Yao didn't use a hammer to chop big firewood into small firewood, and the workload of his work did not decrease too much.

  "Ha~" The other three people in the mushroom house looked at Yang Yu's expressions with joy.

   "Do you have a short-handled axe here?" Xiao Yao asked Yang Yu again, "I am willing to cut the big firewood into small firewood, but I don't want to use a hammer, I want to use an axe!"

  The whole log is thinner after splitting, and the cross-section is smaller. Using a long-handled axe is not only laborious, but also difficult to cut. Therefore, the traditional way of chopping wood is replaced by a short-handled axe.

   "Yes! I'll get it for you!" Yang Yu immediately became happy again, and ran to the tool room to get a short-handled axe. The iron frame was used by the program crew when the catalog was in the middle of this season. Before that and in the previous season, they used a hatchet to chop the firewood. This tool is naturally prepared. of.

   Xiao Yao picked up the hatchet and touched the cutting edge, and then asked, "Is there a sharpening stone? I think the cutting edge of this axe is not sharp enough. It's time to sharpen it."

   "Yes!" Yang Yu nodded, and went to the tool room to find a sharpening stone.

   Xiao Yao took a look and found that it was indeed a sharpening stone. He nodded, put it aside, and turned to Luo Chongwen and said, "Mr. Luo, I'll help you sharpen those kitchen knives too!"

  Just now Xiao Yao used Luo Chongwen's knives in the kitchen, and felt that the cutting edges of those knives were a bit dull, and those kitchen knives could also be sharpened with this kind of whetstone.

"Okay, thank you then!" Luo Chongwen smiled. "My knives should really be sharpened, but I am older and have a bad waist. It is too tired to bend over and sharpen the knife for a long time. I can't stand it, you just polished it for me!"

   "Xiao Yao, did you arrange all the afternoon time?" Ke Jun smiled, "We arrange work for other guests here. If he is good, he will arrange his own work!"

   "It's okay, he arranged himself well, anyway, he is doing work!" Luo Chongwen laughed, "Besides, there will be guests coming in a while, and there is no need to worry about no one to do other tasks!"
