Chapter 134 Song selection and big-name endorsements

Ding dong ding dong ding dong…

There were continuous beeps from the phone. Fang Xing picked up the phone and saw that it was Li Caiwei's message.

When I clicked on it, I saw six photos in a row, all of them food.

Braised fish, braised chicken, pineapple fried rice, stuffed tofu with minced meat and so on are all six dishes.

Fang Xing: What are you doing? Change your career to be a chef?

Li Caiwei: Sister Hong has negotiated a replacement contract. I want to treat you to dinner and cook the food myself. You order three dishes.

Fang Xing: The pork minced stuffed tofu is ready, you can do whatever else you like.

Li Caiwei: Then I will choose what I am best at. Are you free tonight?

Fang Xing: It’s okay tonight.

Li Caiwei: Then we agreed, dinner will be served at six o’clock, and the address will be sent to you later.

Six p.m.

Fang Xing drove to Binjiang Huating where Li Caiwei lived, then bought a fruit basket downstairs and carried it upstairs.

Ding dong!

Fang Xing pressed the doorbell and didn't wait long.

The door opened, and Li Caiwei, wearing an apron, said, "Come in, we'll eat right away. Little bean sprouts, bring uncle the new pair of slippers."

Little Douya was wearing a princess dress with two pigtails. She smiled and ran over to open the shoe cabinet. She took out a pair of large slippers from the top layer and squatted down to put them in front of Fang Xing.

After taking the slippers, Xiao Douya shyly ran back to the kitchen and stared at it.

Fang Xing put on his slippers, put the fruit basket on the dining table, walked over and pinched the little bean sprouts' cheeks: "It seems to have grown taller."

"Children are just like this. They look the same every day. If you don't see them for a while, they feel much older." Li Caiwei continued to work in the kitchen, her movements were very skillful, and it was obvious that she was not a newbie in cooking.

Little Douya raised her head, raised a finger, and said in a sweet voice, "I have grown one centimeter taller. I will grow taller every day, and soon I will be as tall as my mother."

"It can't be that fast, you clingy little boy, my mother will have to worry about you for at least twenty years." Li Caiwei said she was worried, but her tone was full of happiness.

"I will grow up soon." Xiao Douya said with determination.

"Take uncle to wash his hands," Li Caiwei ordered.

Little Douya ran out of the kitchen, ran into the bathroom door, pointed at the sink and said, "Here."

Fang Xing walked over and turned on the faucet.

Little Douya stood aside, pointed at the bottles and cans on the sink, and said: "This is for washing hands, and that is for taking a bath..."

Fang Xing squeezed a little hand sanitizer and after washing his hands, asked: "What about you? Have you washed it?"

The little bean sprouts were not as high as the countertop of the sink. She pouted and said, "Grandma took me to wash them. Grandma is not at home today."

Fang Xing picked her up, carried her to the sink, and said, "Is this okay?"

Xiao Douya rubbed her hands carefully. After rubbing the palms and backs of her hands, she said, "I'm done."

Fang Xing put her down and when he walked back to the living room, the food was already on the table.

A piece of steamed sea bass, a piece of pineapple fried rice, and a pot of mushroom and chicken soup.

Li Caiwei wore heat-resistant gloves, took out a plate from the steamer, brought it over and said, "You ordered minced pork stuffed tofu and a side of stir-fried vegetables. If you're hungry, you can start."

After saying that, she went into the kitchen again, chopped garlic, and prepared to stir-fry vegetables.

What is fried is sweet potato leaves. This dish should be eaten while it is hot after frying, so it should be left to the end.

Xiao Douya came over and took Fang Xing's hand.

Fang Xing lowered his head and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xiao Dou Ya pointed at the disinfection cabinet and said in a milky voice: "I can't get it."

Fang Xing walked over, took out three sets of dishes and chopsticks from the sterilizer and placed them, then held Xiao Dou Ya's armpits and carried her to sit on her child's chair.

Next, it’s time to wait for the meal.

Sweet potato leaves are fried very quickly and are ready in just a few minutes.

After it was served on the table, Li Caiwei greeted: "You eat first, you don't have to wait, the dishes are all here."

As she spoke, she returned to the kitchen, turned off the range hood, then cleaned up the kitchen garbage, wiped the countertop, and then washed her hands and prepared to eat.

"Try it quickly, it's all home-cooked food. Do you want to eat first or drink the soup first?" Li Caiwei took the bowl in front of Fang Xing.

"Let's eat." Fang Xing used to eat first.

Li Caiwei filled a bowl of rice, placed it in front of Fang Xing, and then poured herself a bowl of soup: "I'm used to drinking the soup first, so hurry up and eat it."

While saying hello, she peeled the chicken for her daughter, cut it into pieces with scissors, and put it into the bowl of bean sprouts.

Fang Xing tasted a piece of minced meat stuffed tofu first, nodded and praised: "It tastes great."

Li Caiwei said with a smile: "Little Douya also likes to eat this dish, but she only eats the stuffing, and grandma helps her eat the remaining tofu skin, which makes her spoiled."

Little Douya pouted and argued: "I don't have it, I eat the skin."

Li Caiwei used the scissors to cut up a piece of minced tofu and put it into the bowl of bean sprouts: "Uncle is here for dinner today. If you lose your temper, you won't be cute."

Little Douya pouted and muttered: "I didn't lose my temper."

As he spoke, he began to use a spoon to pick up the vegetables in the bowl and eat them.

Fang Xing looked at the way the little bean sprouts pursed their lips and thought it was quite cute. He picked up a ball of sweet potato leaves, tasted it with the rice, and said, "The heat is well controlled."

Stir-fried sweet potato leaves is a very homely dish.

It seems very ordinary, but its skill is very common.

Because for this dish, the control of heat is very important.

If cooked for a long time, the sweet potato leaves will turn black and become soft.

The heat was not enough and it was too raw.

Therefore, although this dish is simple, it is difficult for novices to master.

After finishing a bowl of rice, Fang Xing filled a bowl of soup and started talking about business: "Sister Hong, have you discussed the replacement quota?"

"Yes, we have already negotiated and the contract will be signed tomorrow. Originally we could not negotiate, but it was up to you. You promised to help me produce the song for the competition, and the program team agreed." Li Caiwei was very happy in her heart.

"When will you participate in the recording?" Fang Xing asked again.

Although we have negotiated for a replacement singer, if we sign the contract now, we may not be able to catch up with the next recording session.

There are still four days left before the recording of the next episode of "Song".

Singer schedules are all set one month in advance, and even if the spot is temporarily filled, it will be two weeks in advance.

The "Singing" program team will not do anything in such a hurry.

Li Caiwei replied: "I will be participating in the recording in two weeks, which will be the fifth episode."

The program "Singing" only eliminates the starting singer every two episodes, so the replacement singer can only join every two episodes.

Fang Xing nodded and said, "This time is more relaxed. Do you know the song selection rules for the fifth period?"

"Not yet, the program team will notify me after the contract is signed." Li Caiwei replied.

"After I know the rules of song selection, I will consider what song to let you sing." Fang Xing said.

"Okay. Actually, my initial thought was that we could sing "Drawing Heart" in the first episode. I just didn't know if it would fit the theme of the competition," Li Caiwei said.

""Painting Heart" is also possible. We will decide based on the situation at that time." Fang Xing was not in a hurry.

We have only recorded two episodes of "Singing" now, and there are still more than two weeks until the fifth episode.

After eating.

Xiao Dou Ya took Fang Xing and they lay on the sofa together watching TV.

What he was watching was a very young cartoon, but Fang Xing actually watched it with gusto.

Li Caiwei washed the fruits, cut them and put them on the coffee table.

The little bean sprout shouted: "Mom, watch mom sing."

"Don't you watch it every day? You won't watch it today." Li Caiwei said.

"Look, I want to watch mommy sing." Little Douya began to act coquettishly.

Li Caiwei had no choice but to open the video of "Chi Ling" and show it to her.

There is also a movie trailer for "Painted Heart", but it is a story from Liaozhai, and Li Caiwei has not shown it to her daughter.

Li Caiwei used a toothpick to insert two pieces of apple and handed it to the little bean sprout: "Eat a piece for uncle."

Xiao Douya raised her head and fed the apple into Fang Xing's mouth before eating her own piece.

After eating the fruit, Xiao Douya also performed a show, dancing to the kindergarten party's program "Fireflies".
