Chapter 72: The Life of a Culinary Artist (22)
Swaquan had several fractures on his body, several soft tissue contusions, and a considerable blow to his internal organs. At his age, this injury is very serious, and he doesn't want to go out if he doesn't lie in the hospital for two or three months.
Fortunately, his head was not injured, and there were no major problems such as concussion or intracranial hemorrhage that would affect his future life, so he just had to charter a VIP ward, move in all the business affairs to deal with it, and honestly recuperate and treat until his body recovered.
======
There was a knock on the door, and the nurse went and opened it.
Shen Lan walked in with a thermos bucket.
Swartz was a little dissatisfied when she saw it, "Why are you again?" What about Sinan? β
Shen Lan has never been able to grasp the attitude towards Si Nan's father, so when she saw him, she had no choice but to be expressionless, first handed the soup to the nurse, and asked her to give Si Hua Qi a bowl to drink while it was hot, "This is the lotus root bone broth that Si Nan boiled early in the morning at six o'clock in the morning, and replenished calcium." Then he said, "Today is the quarterly finals of "Melodious Love Songs", and he went to the show. β
Si Huaqi asked, "Then why did you get here, Si Nan went alone?" β
Shen Lan, "My boss is looking for me to have something, and it just so happened that Yan Qing came back, so I asked Yan Qing to accompany him." I went to the company and came to deliver the soup. He sat down and said, "My boss wants to ask Mr. Si, Wu Shaobo, what are you going to do?" β
Wu Shaobo is the person who instructed people to drive to hit Si Nan, who was an important male supporting actor in "Worry-free Jianghu", because his image is very distinctive, he looks very ruthless, plus he is from a martial arts team, his kung fu is good, and he is also a very outstanding character in the film, but as soon as Si Nan went, he was compared to him and there was nothing left.
In fact, Sinan didn't rob him of many scenes, and several major performances were added later, but Wu Shaobo didn't think so, so he found a few people to teach Sinan a lesson on the set, so that Zhou Yin had the opportunity to meet Tong Han and Han Hui's uncle and nephew.
Coincidentally, Director Wu Dayu also asked Wu Shaobo to audition for the role of Young Master Ling in Zhou Yin's next "Sword of Justice", but of course he was not selected. Wu Dayu was a little moved to change the style of this role because he couldn't find a suitable person to play Young Master Ling at that time, and planned to find an actor with a ruthless temperament and real kung fu if he couldn't do it, so he didn't say anything to Wu Shaobo's agent, Wu Shaobo was still waiting for a response with confidence, and as a result, the news came that Sinan got the role.
Wu Shaobo's new hatred and old hatred were added together, and he was almost angry to death.
Everyone thinks that Wu Shaobo is from the martial arts team, and he knows some of the three religions and nine streams in society, so he is a big brother, in fact, he has an underworld background, and he is very ruthless when he really wants to clean up people, which is why there is a thrilling scene of Zhou Yin being chased and hit by a car.
Wu Shaobo has now been accused by Tong Han's people, and Shen Lan said that her boss wanted to ask Si Huaqi what he meant, whether to go the normal way and hand over the evidence to the department/legal department, or do you want to deal with it yourself?
Swarqi put down the soup bowl and said compassionately, "You guys don't care, I'll clean him up myself!" β
Shen Lan nodded, knowing that the master in front of him was definitely not willing to suffer in vain, so he called Tong Han on the spot.
After putting down the phone, she looked at her watch and found that the program "Melodious Love Songs" had begun, and she didn't have time to rush over, just as Swazi's senior ward was fully equipped, and a large LCD TV was hung on the wall.
Sinan participated in a total of three episodes of "Melodious Love Songs" before, and entered the quarterly finals all the way, and was the player with the highest call to win, and everyone had high hopes for his singing today.
Who knew that his appearance this time could only be regarded as unsatisfactory.
Si Nan's singing repertoire is an old love song more than ten years ago, and the original singer is the most difficult teacher Li Yi to speak among the judges.
Si Nan sang this song decently, although there were no major mistakes and omissions, but there were no major features, Li Yi took the lead and gave a low score unceremoniously, "Si Nan, say something that is not afraid of offending other contestants." We all know that the ratings of the "Melodious Love Songs" program are very high, especially in the last few episodes, and many of the new viewers are coming for you, and your performance in the previous episodes of the program is indeed very outstanding. However, today you disappointed me, such an important quarterly final, I was looking forward to your performance, but after listening to this song of yours, I have to say: too mediocre! β
Sinan smiled politely and nodded, indicating acceptance of his criticism.
Shen Lan heard Si Huaqi snort with her nose, and she herself was a little uneven, "This surnamed Li, you can't speak tactfully, Nan Nan was still in the hospital for a few days before, how can there be kung fu practice, it's good to be able to sing like this!" β
Swarqi was stunned for a moment and hurriedly asked, "Why did he stay in the hospital for a few days?!" β
Shen Lan knew that she had said it, but then she thought about it, although Si Nan didn't want to publicize this matter, she didn't say that she wanted to keep it absolutely confidential, especially his father, let Si Huaqi know that it was okay to know, so as to save the words and still suspect that Si Nan always used a can of soup to perfunctory him, and he didn't know that he came to see his father.
So he said, "When you were injured, he was probably scared, a little stimulated, and his spirit was not very stable a few days ago, Yan Qing was not at ease, so he was sent to the hospital for observation for a few days, but now he is fine." β
A look of worry flashed across Swarzi's face, but he didn't ask much.
The competition continued, and several other contestants were carefully prepared, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Cheng DΓΉ, who had worked hard, and every table was very outstanding, and a female contestant claimed in an interview before the show that her body and energy had reached the limit and were about to collapse, but as soon as she stood on the stage, she was energetic and played at the highest level.
One has to sigh that pressure generates motivation, and the reason why this type of competition type of show is good is because each contestant will perform at the highest level, and it is even possible to surpass themselves through the competition!
After another round of singing, a contestant with the lowest score was eliminated directly, leaving Si Nan, who scored second-to-last, and Sun Mingxiao, who was third-to-last, to compete for the last place to enter the finals.
Sinan stood in the middle of the stage again, and as usual, he made a few comments about the competition. He is dressed very concisely today, with a white shirt and dark trousers, because he has a good figure, he is very supportive of his clothes, coupled with his temperament and delicate face, so the simple clothes are also worn with a unique charm.
Under the spotlight, Sinan did not have the nervousness and excitement of other contestants, but was very calm, with a shallow and charming smile on his face, "I knew that I would definitely enter the playoff today, so I hesitated for a long time about what to sing for the second song." It stands to reason that since I participated in the "Melodious Love Songs" program, I should sing another love song. But I want to dedicate one of my best songs to everyone. As a sincere thank you, thank you for the tremendous support and encouragement you have given me since I stepped onto this stage. Since I may not have the opportunity to sing to everyone again in the future, I finally decided to be willful and sing the song I wanted to sing the most......"
The accompaniment sounded, it was an explosive piano solo, the melody was gorgeous and beautiful, and it could cause ripples in people's minds in an instant, and the title of the song was also played on the TV screen - "Eternal Life", at this time Si Nan said softly in a voice that would leak through the slightest negligence, "This song is also given to my father, I hope he recovers soon!" β
Swaqi was still very serious when he watched his son's performance, and he didn't miss this sentence, but he was a little angry, "He/Mom! Lao Tzu is not dead, what kind of "eternal life" will the stinky boy sing to me! β
If this wasn't Si Nan's father, Shen Lan would have whitened him with his eyes, and he was dissatisfied, "You go on!" This is the first time Nan Nan has sent a song in public, so I will give it to you, what are you not satisfied with! β
After that, the two had no time to argue.
As soon as Sinan spoke, everyone felt that their ear drums were shaken, his clear voice became full and gorgeous, full of strength, and the passionate and shocking music style was like an invisible giant whirlpool, which could suck people in, and the audience would be involuntarily swept into it, and the ups and downs of the song were stirred!
The man standing on the stage seemed to be no longer as simple as singing, but doing something more sacred - he was using music to interpret life.
Si Nan's singing is fully devoted to the realm of selflessness, and her beautiful face flashes with great enthusiasm! It is his enthusiasm for life, his enthusiasm for ideals, and his enthusiasm for emotions!
The song has ups and downs, and the gorgeous melody is impeccable, blooming like fireworks.
This passionate and beautiful song is very long, lasting about seven or eight minutes, and there is a moment of silence in the audience after the song, and everyone will not be able to get out of their minds.
If the love songs carefully prepared by the previous singers are melodious and tactful, and they are worth appreciating and savoring, then this one sung by Si Nan is a shocking work of art!
After a few seconds of silence, suddenly a round of applause rang out, and the camera turned to the judges' seat, where Li Yi gave a standing ovation with a solemn expression, followed by thunderous applause from the audience.
Li Yi was still standing, "Si Nan, I don't know what to say!" It's a very artistically contagious song, and I have to stand up and comment on it to show my respect for it. But it's not up to the mark, and we're singing love songs in this game. You're really embarrassing me, although personally, I think you're going to be the first to win the championship with this song alone! β
Si Nan smiled and bowed slightly, "Thank you, I know that I chose to deviate from the topic of this song, and I ask a few judges and teachers to deduct points in accordance with the regulations." I'm actually not very good at singing love songs, and I'm very satisfied with being able to hold on to this competition until now," he said, turning to Sun Mingxiao, who was waiting on the sidelines for the next play, "Mingxiao is more professional than me, and from the beginning I thought that this last place to enter the finals should be given to him." I just want to dedicate the best song I have sung to everyone, thank you for your continued support of me! β
Everyone seemed to be modest when they heard Si Nan's words, but Shen Lan knew that he had made the final decision and took this song as his farewell singing, giving his acting career a solemn end!
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Because he sang not a love song and did not meet the requirements of the show, although Sinan had the highest number of off-site votes, he was finally eliminated.
Before Sinan's fans had time to complain about this, they were heartbroken by the next piece of news.
Sinan posted a statement on Weibo after the show: He will quit the entertainment industry, the song just now is a farewell singing, in order not to affect the show, he deliberately told everyone after the end.
In the midst of an exclamation, Sinan posted another cute photo wearing an apron, holding a spatula, and winking at the camera, with a row of words below: This is my ultimate goal!
Then I fainted again.
Sinan explained: All along, my favorite thing is cooking, and I am also determined to be an excellent chef, and entering the entertainment industry is just a coincidence, which can be regarded as a transitional period...... Now that all the work at hand is over, and my acting career can finally come to an end, I will go to run the small restaurant I have been dreaming of......
Countless people are reluctant to give up, and they are constantly asking: Nan Nan, where is the restaurant? We're going to have to go! We're going to see you!
Sinan responded to this for the time being, because he really loves cooking and wants to develop in this area down-to-earth, so he needs to hear the real feedback from diners at the beginning of the opening, and jokes that if it is all fans who go to eat, then he is afraid that even the burnt food will be praised as burnt, which will make him at a loss.
Shen Lan sighed, "Hey, this Nan Nan, just announce which restaurant it is, and guarantee that you can book it until next year immediately." β
Swarazie had a cold face, "He has always been this stubborn character!" β
Shen Lan was so angry that she couldn't stand it, "Si Nan is so good, serious and motivated, there is no bad problem at all, where can I find such a well-behaved boy now?" You can't be nicer to him!? He is your son, what can you do if you love him so much? β
Swartz glanced at her lightly, "If I don't hurt him, why are you lying here now?" β
Shen Lan was speechless for a moment, feeling that the "grudge" between Sinan and his father might be the most difficult housework he had ever encountered!
======
When Sinan came to see his father, he brought Yan Qing, and the father and son were still stiff when they met.
Sinan handed the thermos jar to the nurse, "Dad, I brought you black chicken soup." β
Si Huaqi snorted and glared at Yan Qing, "What are you bringing him here for?" β
Si Nan looked at his father's eyes as if he was facing each other, "Dad, Yan Qing will always be with me in the future, if you don't want to see him, then you don't want to see me." β
Si Huaqi knocked on the bed and said angrily, "Si Nan! β
Si Nan was unmoved, and said lightly, "Dad, I won't quarrel with you, you just say if you want to see you or not, you are willing to see us come together next time, if you don't want to, then we won't bother you." β
Shuaqi glared at him for a while, leaned into the pillow and waved his hand, "You're too old, I can't control you, you can do whatever you want!" β
Yan Qing was kind and pleasant, "Si Nan, you talk slowly, I'll go out to buy a pack of cigarettes, and I'll pick you up in fifteen minutes." β
Sinan nodded, knowing that he wanted to leave some personal space for himself and his father.
It's just that after Yan Qing left, Shuaqi and him had nothing to say together, and there was an awkward silence in the ward, and after a while, his father spoke again, "You've decided?" I have to be a chef. β
Sinan nodded, "Why don't you let me do this?" β
Swarzi's face was gloomy, "Because your mother loves to cook, I don't want you to have anything in common with that woman." β
Sinan lowered his head, "It's about the same as I guessed." When he raised his face again, there was more sarcasm in his eyes, "It's a pity that this is the face that I most resemble her, what should I do?" This face can never be replaced! No wonder you're not angry when you see me! Maybe it's the best choice for me not to appear in front of you again in the future, and it's good for everyone. β
Si Huaqi turned his eyes and looked out the window, and sighed after a long time, his voice revealing old tiredness, "Si Nan, no matter how I am, I am also your father!" I'm doing everything I need to do for you, and you're not satisfied to the point where you think you'll never need to see me again? Yes, I think of that woman when I see you, and if I could, I would never want to touch anything with her again in my life! But for you, I put up with it, even if you look so much like her, I want to see you every day! I am your father, and I will raise you and provide you with the best food, clothing, shelter and transportation I can give! Think about it for yourself, have you lacked anything since you were a child? You always say that I am biased towards your brother, have you ever paid attention to it, your brother will have it, you have nothing worse than him, your aunt is not satisfied, but does she dare to move your finger except for saying two words? Dad used to have a bad temper with you, but there was a reason for it, so you don't have to hold such a grudge, right? β
Sinan gasped for two breaths and turned his face away, "There is a reason for the bullshit!" If you have nothing to do, you will beat and scold me, and you can think about how you treated Xiao Feng yourself? And what did you do to me? Did I pick it up? I don't have feelings? Am I not sad that I am not in pain? β
No matter how aggrieved he was, he didn't dare to say foul words to Swarz, but after running away from home this time, he wanted to open up in this regard, and no longer held back himself, anyway, he had already left home, and they went back to sulk after the big deal. However, as soon as he was powerful, his father's arrogance dropped a lot.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Yan Qing estimated that the father and son couldn't talk about anything, and they came to pick up Sinan as soon as the fifteen minutes passed, and in view of seeing that the faces of the two people were extremely bad, he persuaded when he got out of the ward door, "Parents are parents after all, even if the relationship is severed legally, the blood relationship cannot be broken, and your father has also done a lot of things for you, not the real ruthlessness, let him just give way, otherwise you will definitely not be happy if you really him off." β
Si Nan snorted sullenly, "I know, anyway, we can't get along like the usual father and son, let me be quiet for a few days, and come back when he is discharged from the hospital." β
Yan Qing rubbed his head for comfort.
At night, Sinan tried to make bird's nest dumplings at home, beating the meat puree with two wooden hammers in the living room.
Yan Qing was not afraid of noise, sitting on the side surfing the Internet, chatting with each other, and suddenly remembered, "Last time I accompanied you to the celebration banquet of "Skyrim Warrior", why did the major shareholder of that investor, Tong Han, always look at me coldly?" Where have I offended him? β
Si Nan was stunned for a moment, and then replied in a disapproving tone, "So what, there will always be people who don't like you, you can't expect everyone to be polite to you." β
Yan Qing shook his head, "It's not easy for others to say, this is not enough, he is the same kind of person as us, I can see it at a glance," he said and touched his chin a little narcissistically, "Like me, what is he not satisfied with." β
Sinan obviously didn't want to continue the topic, and said softly, "Who knows. β
Yan Qing was a little suspicious, and dragged out her voice, "Si Nan-? He can't have anything to do with you, right? β
Si Nan immediately glared at him, "Don't talk nonsense!" No, you think everyone is as undisciplined as you. β
"So what's going on?"
Si Nan ignored him, thinking that a male peacock like Yan Qing with a criminal record was not qualified to question others in this regard, and after a stalemate, Yan Qing first relented, stood up and walked around behind Si Nan, held his hand with a wooden hammer, beat the meat puree together, and whispered intimately in his ear, "I'll help you." β
Sinan simply stuffed the hammer to Yan Qing, and leaned on him, "Then I'll rest for a while." β
Yan Qing smiled, lowered his head and kissed him at the base of his very sensitive ear, and then began to work hard.
Si Nan enjoyed it very much and suddenly found that he missed the person named Zhou Yin very much, but unfortunately he had left, that person had a tenacity that he didn't have, if he didn't have him, I am afraid it would be difficult for him to survive.
Yan Qing kissed him a few times and found that he was a little absent-minded, "What do you think?" β
Si Nan leaned his head on his shoulder, looked up at the chandelier on the roof, and looked a little dazed, "Thinking about life is like cooking a dish, everyone's ingredients are similar, but everyone's approach is different, and the results are different." My life is like being in the hands of a person who is not a good cook, and the condiments are misplaced, and they have been burned off from the normal taste, and then a person with excellent cooking skills takes over, cleverly adds other condiments, adjusts the heat, and makes the taste better. β
One of the great advantages of Yan Qing is that he is empathetic, he can pick up whatever you say without a head or a brain, and he understands in the blink of an eye, "The person in front who is not good at cooking is your father, so who is the one with superb cooking skills in the back?" Don't tell me that it's Tong Han, this rival is too stressful! β
Si Nan smiled, thinking that it would not hurt to occasionally put some pressure on Yan Qing, and this pressure could be regarded as the condiment he added to the dish named Yan Qing, because he had to stew this dish for a long, long time, so the condiment should also be put slowly, no more or less, I believe that the day when the sky is old will inevitably stew into a delicacy that belongs to him alone.
