After Being an Improper Control Group as an Abandoned Wealthy Wife, She Effortlessly Came Out on Top

Chapter 114: A Little Hope?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

This was just a drawing drawn with a pen, but she could already see the three-dimensionality of it.

The embroiderer held Meng Chuyuan’s paper and admired it carefully. She could not help but say, “This embroidery will definitely look good.” Perhaps the embroiderer was stunned by Meng Chuyuan’s painting skills. She could not help but pass the painting to the people around her. Soon, everyone in the embroidery workshop knew that the painting was made by Meng

Chuyuan.

The embroiderers who had seen Meng Chuyuan draw with their own eyes could not help but praise, “She did not reference anything. She held a pen and lowered her head to draw. She did not even take time to think or hesitate.”

Meng Chuyuan replied, “I usually just conceptualize a rough idea in my head. I don’t need to think too much.”

If she thought too much and too complicatedly, it would be even harder for her to draw.

She liked the feeling of first impressions. She would memorize that outline, then recall it carefully and slowly magnify it in her drawing.

The old embroiderer looked at it in surprise. “It’s really amazing. This peony painting is very realistic. Just by looking at this sketch, I already get the feeling that I’m surrounded by flowers.”

When she was teaching Meng Chuyuan embroidery just now, she felt that she was familiar with it. Now that she saw the peony she drew, she was stunned again.

This was especially true for the butterflies beside the peony flower. This embellishment was very outstanding, as if it was constantly telling others that the flower was blooming very well and fragrant.

Hearing this, Ting Jiu came over and saw that Meng Chuyuan had painted a peony that was being passed around by everyone. Seeing their astonished faces, he said calmly, “My Sister Chuyuan is an artist. This kind of painting is nothing to her.”

However, it was indeed rare for everyone to see her creative process with their own eyes.

“It’s just a casual drawing. It’s not as good as you make it out to be.” Meng Chuyuan raised her eyebrows without batting an eyelid. In the face of everyone’s praise, she also felt that they were exaggerating.

[Sister Meng is a little humble. This casual drawing is many times better than my careful drawing. I really have to thank you.]

[Little Jiu Jiu said that Sister Meng was an art student. I wonder which major Sister Meng majored in? I want to be a concept designer. I really want to ask for her advice.]

[Ting Jiu, you know my Sister Meng so well, hahahaha.]

[Sister Meng said: Although I’m not part of the underworld, the rumors about me in the underworld have never stopped.]

[Sister Meng really cares about the details. The details in this painting are handled very well. They’re all very vivid.]

[Wuwuwu, I’m not an art student. I don’t really understand it. I just think it looks good and want to buy it back and hang it at home.]

[Sister Meng expresses: My simple doodle is enough to crush all the officials.

Sister Meng is still very low-key, hahaha]

She had drawn many things in the past and had been rejected by many publishers. At that time, she had almost lost her confidence.

She did not expect that after not holding a brush for more than a year, she would be praised so much just by drawing a simple peony flower.

Evening

The director prepared dinner ingredients for each group of guests, and the portions for each ingredient was fixed.

The production team distributed the ingredients for dinner to the various groups of guests.

After seeing that they had all obtained the ingredients, the director began to announce the rules.

“Tonight, we will be competing in culinary skills. The dishes you make can be anything as long as it’s based on the ingredients provided by the production team. Each group needs to bring the prepared dishes to the villagers for tasting. After the villagers have tasted them, they will give a vote that they are satisfied with. The group with the lowest votes in the end must accept the punishment and requests of the first place.”

[Is there a need to compete? My Sister Meng will definitely win, hahahaha]

[Director, if you want Sister Meng to win, just say it. What’s the point of this competition? Do you think we’re three-year-olds?]

[The director said that although he knew the outcome, he still had to go through the motions.]

[Sister Meng is simply cheating here. Haha, culinary skills are simply a freebie for Sister Meng.]

[As everyone knows, Sister Meng has a chokehold on everyone’s stomachs. Perhaps the Young Master will show off his skills this time and show his culinary skills to his family.]

[After my gathered experience from previous episodes, I’ve already ordered takeout and have been waiting to eat. I won’t have to drool while watching them eat anymore.]

[This suddenly reminds me of Miss Qi, who can’t even differentiate between sugar and salt. I want to ask if the villagers dare to eat her food?]

Qi Yan’s face turned green when she heard the words ‘Culinary Competition’.

Ever since Meng Chuyuan started making pastries in the first episode, everyone knew that she knew how to cook. The Liao sisters also had their own specialty dishes. She was the only one who had never cooked.

She thought that since Ting Jiu was so young, he probably only knew how to order takeout.

Before the director could start, Ting Jiu raised his hand high and said,

“Director, can I apply to join Lu Jinsen’s team?”

The director put on a serious face and rejected him mercilessly. “No.”

He had planned this segment long ago, but he had added the punishment at the last minute.

Knowing that Qi Yan did not know how to cook, the director wanted to use this opportunity to discuss with the first place team later and get her to move back from the old lady’s place.

It was mainly because it was inconvenient for the cameraman to follow them. The old lady was not in their filming scope, so it was also a form of disturbance for the old lady to appear frequently on camera.

In any case, it was still a live-stream. There were so many viewers watching. He did not believe that Qi Yan would dare to resist after losing.

When Ting Jiu heard this, he said aggrievedly, “Then what if I don’t know how to cook?”

The director said, “There’s nothing you can do about it.”

[Pfft, hahahaha, I’m sorry. I suddenly couldn’t stop laughing. Director, you know how to be humorous.]

[Previously, Lu Jinsen who didn’t know how to cook became Sister Meng’s disciple. Now, his culinary skills have visibly improved. I look forward to seeing which master will teach Little Jiu Jiu who doesn’t know how to cook this time.]

[But I must say, Little Jiu Jiu, your schemes are too obvious. You know that Sister Meng’s culinary skills are good, so you want to join the team of slackers and enjoy the fruits of others’ labor.]

[There’s still Qi Yan who doesn’t know how to cook. I want to see what will happen to her later.]

[I can laugh for a day at the director’s words, but you don’t care about Little Jiu Jiu’s aggrieved expression.]

[Two people who don’t know how to cook together. I’m really afraid that there will be an explosion later, hahaha.]

“Sister Chuyuan, I really don’t know how to cook.” Ting Jiu looked at Meng Chuyuan helplessly and pitifully.

Meng Chuyuan glanced at him and said in all seriousness, “Then there’s nothing you can do about it.”

When Ting Jiu finally reluctantly stood with Qi Yan, the director announced the start of the competition.

Meng Chuyuan looked at the ingredients provided by the production team. There was chicken breast, streaky pork, ham, potatoes, and vegetables.

She dealt with the meat first before instructing Lu Jinsen to peel the potatoes.

Ting Jiu stood in front of the stove, watching as the other two groups began to prepare the dishes. He was at a loss.

Qi Yan wanted to blanch the meat in the pot, but when she saw Ting Jiu standing there without doing anything, she said coldly, “Move aside.”

“You know how to cook?” Seeing her confident look, Ting Jiu seemed to see a little hope..
