Chapter 423: Our day, sweet

Gu Cheng took Jin Li out through the back door of the hotel.

He said: "This hotel was built on the hillside. It hasn't received guests from the outside for a month, and it was all packed by us.

Cars wanting to drive up have to go through several procedures, and there are many people standing guard along the way. The monitoring room doesn't leave people for 24H, and safety is very guaranteed."

Jin Li nodded: "The driver was questioned several times when driving up, asking us to show proof, even if I swiped my face, it was useless."

Gu Cheng smiled lightly and said with deep feeling: "Other places might be able to swipe faces, but this place can't swipe faces.

You might not believe it, even if we leave the hotel to run announcements outside, when we return to the hotel again, we have to go through several procedures of inspection, and we can't swipe faces either."

Jin Li asked curiously: "Is it so strict?"

Gu Cheng: "Because the confidentiality agreement signed between March Sky and the hotel, only a few people in the hotel know that we are the ones docking, and other employees don't know that stars are coming."

The hotel built on the hillside, out of the back door is a wide backyard. Many flowers are planted in the yard. In order to create income, this hotel will also undertake fresh flower sales services.

Jin Li looked at these beautiful flowers, feeling that her mood was also like a blooming flower, beautiful and bright.

Out of the backyard is a lush mountain forest.

Gu Cheng took Jin Li to walk on one of the sheep-gut trails. The slope was a bit steep. It was called a trail, but it was just that there were many people passing by, stepping the mud flat, thus forming a road.

Gu Cheng took a step first, turned his head and stretched out his hand, "Come, give me your hand, be careful of the stones, it's a bit steep here."

The leaves in the early morning were still stained with crystal clear dew. The morning sun sprinkled mottled pieces on the ground through the gaps in the leaves. The sunlight passed through the fog in the forest, forming bright "light paths" one by one.

Seeing Jin Li didn't move, Gu Cheng moved forward a little, only one step away from holding her hand, "Come, don't be afraid, take this shortcut and you will arrive at the morning market soon."

Jin Li raised the corners of her mouth slightly and held his hand.

Brilliant sun, lush trees, dreamlike light.

A handsome boy is hidden here.

After passing the steep slope, they came to a flat cement road. It was narrow and basically could only accommodate bicycles. If two cars met up and down, it was a test of the driver's technology.

Gu Cheng talked about the interesting things about coming here last week.

"The captain was very curious about this place, saying that he would also contract a mountain to build a nursing home in the future, and insisted on pulling us who had just finished practicing dance and were half-dead to go shopping in the mountain.

He drove a hotel sightseeing car, and the six of us just squeezed in, but the mountain road was too winding, and we were all afraid that we would be thrown out.

It was when passing this bend that a truck came head-on. This car was specifically for delivering supplies to the hotel, which scared us so much that our brains were dazed, and the captain hurriedly braked."

Jin Li took a breath: "So thrilling, how was it solved in the end?"

Gu Cheng: "The truck didn't drive fast. After we stopped, he also stopped, opened the window and waved his hand to let us go first."

He laughed: "But the captain didn't dare to drive anymore, asking us who would drive the sightseeing car over, and none of us dared.

Because we didn't move, the truck driver came down and asked what was going on. We said, Big Brother, we don't dare to drive over!"

"I can still remember the truck driver's look at us—the young man looks quite sturdy, why is his courage so small? He looked at us with hatred for iron not becoming steel."

Jin Li couldn't help laughing, "And then?"

Gu Cheng: "The truck driver is a good person, helped us drive the sightseeing car over. He couldn't walk on the outermost road, so he pressed the mud and passed."

He suddenly reached out and pointed forward, "It's this road. Only after driving over did we find that there is another cave."

Jin Li looked forward. A shortcut was stepped out from the gaps in the trees, showing a lively corner of the downtown area.

Gu Cheng said: "There is a market here every three, six, and nine days. Many residents live on the mountain. Without the New Year and festivals, young people will not come back. Those who stay here are all old people."

He said like offering a treasure: "I once tried to go to the market without wearing a mask, and the aunts and uncles didn't recognize me, but they praised me for being handsome."

Gu Cheng sighed: "—It's just that it doesn't look like there are a few taels of meat, not sturdy."

Jin Li chuckled, "Actually, your body control is still okay, not very thin."

Stars need to be thin on camera, but boy groups are different.

Many boy group dances pay attention to explosive power. Without muscles, you can't do explosive power. If the body is too thin, there is no beauty, and dancing doesn't have that exciting stimulating feeling of hormone explosion.

So boy groups have to practice muscles, they can't not practice.

Like Gu Cheng's body shape, they are all standard "thin when wearing clothes, muscular when taking off clothes," and the muscle ratio on the body is watched by special fitness coaches.

Gu Cheng still went down the steep slope first, holding Jin Li step by step.

The two had already put on masks in advance, although people here don't chase stars, just in case.

Gu Cheng took Jin Li to eat local specialty breakfast—freshly baked oil swirls, golden and crispy, biting into slag.

The oil swirl is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with rich onion fragrance. It needs to be handmade hundreds of times by "kneading, folding, and hitting," and paired with sweet foam is an authentic way to eat.

As for "sweet foam," it is actually a salty porridge, made with millet flour, peanuts, and tofu shreds. The name comes from the homophonic "add a little bit."

There are also pot stickers for sale, the bottom is crispy, the fillings are diverse (big shrimp, three fresh), paired with Mizhou to relieve greasiness.

Gu Cheng specifically pointed to the pot stickers: "This is still an intangible cultural heritage skill, freshly wrapped and freshly fried—the outer skin is full of oil fragrance, and the inner filling is full and juicy."

Jin Li saw the specialty vegetable pancakes and bought one to eat because she was a bit greedy.

Thin pancakes are sandwiched with five-color vegetables, including radishes, vermicelli, tofu, etc., crispy and fragrant, portable and full.

Jin Li was a bit unable to eat halfway, and couldn't help but look up at Gu Cheng.

Gu Cheng reached out calmly and took it; he helped clean up the aftermath.

Jin Li covered her face and couldn't help but bump into him lightly with her body.

This person should restrain a little.

Gu Cheng also bumped back at her, his exposed eyes smiling, and said in a low voice: "If you don't give it to me, then I throw it in the trash can?"

Jin Li blinked and moved her head away.

Cough cough, she didn't see anything.

Passing by a small stall, the aunt was selling meat fire-baked buns. Seeing Gu Cheng, she specifically greeted him.

"Eh, handsome young man, not eating meat fire-baked buns today?"

The meat fire-baked bun has thin skin and enough filling. It is bulging and hot when freshly baked. The pork and green onion filling is the most classic, paired with tofu brain.

Gu Cheng shook his head and responded: "Auntie, I brought a friend to eat something else. She just arrived today."

The aunt realized and gave a long "Oh—".

"This is your girlfriend, no wonder I introduced you to an object before and you didn't want it. It turns out you already have a girlfriend. Tell me earlier, I wouldn't have wasted that effort!"

Jin Li looked at Gu Cheng. Gu Cheng used his height advantage to touch her head and helped her press the hat on her head more tightly.

He walked to the aunt's place. Although he couldn't eat anymore, he bought a portion of meat fire-baked buns.

When checking out, Gu Cheng whispered to the aunt: "Not a girlfriend yet, I'm chasing!"

The aunt understood and replied in a low voice: "You bring her to Auntie's place to eat breakfast more often, I will help you say more good things. Handsome young man, chasing people must be diligent. Just inviting people to dinner is not enough. Don't think that just because your face looks good, you can trick people home!"

The aunt patted Gu Cheng on the shoulder, with the tone of a person who has come over: "Auntie tells you, chasing people must be attentive. Don't cherish it just because you look good. Those who look at your face cannot last long. We have to find someone with a suitable personality."

Gu Cheng took the meat fire-baked buns and said with a smile: "Okay, Auntie, her personality is very good. Hmm... I am the one who likes her more."

Auntie: "Then hurry up and chase, a family has a daughter and a hundred families ask, a good girl will be chased away immediately!"

Gu Cheng turned his head and saw that Jin Li had already walked to another place, so he hurriedly chased after her.

This was a small stall selling handicrafts, placing Arhat beans (broad beans) and kidney beans, and carving words on them.

Gu Cheng came to her side and said softly: "Arhat beans have full grains, hard texture, smooth surface, suitable for carving fine patterns.

Because of the name 'Arhat', they are often endowed with auspicious meanings, symbolizing health and longevity. Travelers from other places often buy some back as gifts for their relatives."

Jin Li looked at another kind of kidney bean.

Gu Cheng: "Kidney beans have a large volume, fine skin, and clear texture after carving. In ancient times, they were used as tribute, symbolizing harvest and good fortune, and are common in festival sacrifices."

Jin Li looked at the styles of the beans and found that some would carve Sanskrit, Bagua, and auspicious words on the bean surface, such as "Fu" and "Shou", made into bracelets or pendants, which can be used to ward off evil and bring good luck.

This can be used as an amulet.

She bought many, and also bought some micro-carving artworks, such as carving poems and landscapes on the beans.

Jin Li also picked some with surnames, wanting to give them as gifts to her sisters.

She also wanted to pick her own. Gu Cheng coughed heavily a few times. Jin Li turned to look.

Gu Cheng didn't dare to look at her, staring at the trees in the distance and said: "I have already picked your name. I will give it to you when I return to the hotel."

Jin Li smiled.

She asked: "Then did you pick your own?"

Gu Cheng shook his head, just wanted to say that he was not interested in these, but the next second he heard Jin Li say: "Then I will pick for you."

Gu Cheng closed his mouth immediately.

The two finished shopping in the morning market and returned to the hotel with a pile of gifts.

The gifts were all carried by Gu Cheng and were first placed at Gu Cheng's place. The breakfast Jin Li brought for the assistant included the meat fire-baked buns bought by Gu Cheng.

Xiao Cheng was already asleep, only Chen Qin was tossing and turning with excitement and couldn't sleep.

As soon as Jin Li opened the door, she heard the movement and jumped up immediately.

Jin Li looked at her blankly, "Why are you so excited?"

Chen Qin: "No, I just couldn't sleep, and just happened to want to get up and move around."

Jin Li smiled: "Then hurry up and come out to eat breakfast, eat while it's hot. Should I wake Xiao Cheng up to eat too?"

Chen Qin: "No need, no need, Xiao Cheng told me that she doesn't need to be woken up after she falls asleep!"

Jin Li: "Okay."

She walked out the door, suddenly thought of something, and returned to say: "I brought you some bean amulets, you can pick any style you like in a while."

As soon as Gu Cheng opened the door and walked in, he found that other teammates were already up, staying in the living room, sleepwalking half-awake and half-asleep.

Yan Xingdong yawned a big yawn, intending to turn on the TV to find a morning news broadcast to watch, to wake up.

Gu Cheng returned. Chen Lin was the first to discover it. His sleepy eyes immediately brightened, like an X radar discovering a signal, and asked him: "Why did you get up so early today, what did you do?"

Chen Lin walked in front of him, "I smelled a fascinating breakfast smell. You definitely ate meat. You didn't bring me when you ate meat, you are excessive!"

Gu Cheng looked at him with disgust: "Are you a dog? You can even ask this."

Chen Lin stared at what he was holding and was puzzled: "Why did you buy so many beans back? Didn't you say you weren't interested in this kind of thing?"

After arriving in East Weicheng, there were beans for sale everywhere. This is their local cultural specialty product. Because Chen Lin was curious, he bought some to play with at the beginning.

This thing is just for novelty. After watching it for a few days, I didn't feel any fun.

Chen Lin wanted to reach out and take the beans, but was avoided by Gu Cheng.

Gu Cheng said lightly: "Jin Li arrived a day early. I took her to eat breakfast. These beans were all bought by her as gifts for others. I helped carry them and put them at my place first. She brought breakfast for the assistant separately, which is not convenient to take."

As soon as this remark came out, not only Chen Lin, but everyone else was stunned.

Luo Yi couldn't help but open his mouth wide and sighed: "Gu Cheng's progress is a complete victory!"

Yan Xingdong immediately asked: "Did Xi Sister Meng Ze follow?"

Chen Lin came back to his senses and hurriedly said: "Sister Pearl, did she come over?"

Gu Cheng squinted at them, using the words of netizens, that is "three parts evil, four parts noble, plus three parts cold and gorgeous," "How would I know, you go directly to ask them."

Yan Xingdong and Chen Lin really picked up their phones and sent messages.

Luo Yi drank tea leisurely and made a summary: "A group of defeated generals."

Although Jin Li arrived early, her task was not easy.

After a short rest, she took a car with March Sky and came to the nearby concert venue together.

The channel near the concert had already been limited, only special cars could look at it, and some places were blocked, and even people couldn't pass.

Because the traffic dispatch on the scene was done very well, even though many fans gathered, March Sky's car still drove in very smoothly.

Entering the concert venue, with her feet on the stage, Jin Li looked at the empty seats around her, feeling that this venue was really too big, and should be able to accommodate tens of thousands of people.

She couldn't help but ask: "How many people can it accommodate here?"

Gu Cheng: "Nearly fifty thousand people, transformed from a gymnasium."

Jin Li "Wow"ed, "More than the number of people accommodated in the Pink Girl concert before."

In recent years, the country has vigorously called on everyone to exercise, and the sports industry has also ushered in vigorous development.

Plus China held the Olympics a few years ago, and many places also followed the trend to build gymnasiums.

But the trend of the Olympic Games passed, and there were not so many large-scale events that could be undertaken in the country, resulting in many gymnasiums being abandoned.

The daily maintenance fee of the gymnasium is a not small expense.

Others also got on the stage. Yan Xingdong smiled when he heard the words: "How can the current market compare with the past? In the past, you could make a lot of money by releasing a physical album, but now it doesn't work, you can only release electronic albums.

Electronic albums seem to have a larger market than in the past, but the authorization fee is still that much, and some earn less than physical albums."

Gu Cheng used a headset to contact the staff, intending to play Pink Girl's songs first to see how Jin Li's dance was.

Such a large stage was the first time Jin Li encountered it after crossing over. This was different from the internet celebrity birthday concert she participated in before.

She was a bit nervous, so she turned to look at Gu Cheng.

Gu Cheng saw her eyes, walked over, bent down, and asked: "What's wrong?"

Jin Li: "A bit nervous..."

Gu Cheng smiled.

Jin Li couldn't help but hammer his shoulder.

Gu Cheng let her hammer, patted her back with one hand, and comforted: "Don't be nervous, if you really can't do it, I will take you through it."

Chen Lin originally didn't look at the interaction between love dogs.

But he suddenly thought of Jin Li's dance choreography and immediately booed: "Okay, okay, Gu Cheng go alone first! Set an example for Sister Jin Li!" ===== CHAPTER 424 =====
