MTL - Call Me Daddy-Chapter 20 , A pair of prodigal sons (3)

As the saying goes, Jiang is still hot when he is old, and he is still strong if he gnaws on the old. After training his son, Su Aobai confidently opened his hands to the two elders.

"Mom and Dad, give me some money."

With the dust settled in Miao Yinhua's heart, she and her wife looked at each other and smiled, showing a relaxed expression.

Sure enough, there was a reason why my son was so active in helping today, not because of something wrong with his brain.

Su Tianyuan's mind, which had been dizzy just now, instantly sobered up, and then exploded with anger.

He said, why did his father obstruct him in every possible way to ask his grandparents for money today, so it turned out that he wanted to ask for money.

But do these two things conflict? With so much money from grandparents, they can completely support the two of them.

mean! Too stingy! When will the old man be so introverted!

Su Aobai ignored the boy, but took out his mobile phone, got up and walked to the second elder.

"Dad, you go over."

Su Aobai cheekily squeezed between the two elders, without moving a stool, but squeezed the old man beside him with his buttocks, and the two of them made up a chair together.

Su Quangen thought of the picture of him holding his son to eat when he was young, and in the blink of an eye, more than forty years have passed, and the son has grown up, and the father and son are rarely so close.

He pursed his lips and smiled, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were deep and loving.

Su Tianyuan looked at the three of them sitting side by side, enjoying themselves happily, and felt that this old man was a scheming dog, and he came up with a way to win over his grandma so quickly. A man who is young and soft.

He couldn't lose to him, so Su Tianyuan quickly put down the bowl and got up, and walked behind his father, as if he wanted to see what good things his father was going to show his grandparents.

He squatted halfway behind Su Aobai, with his hands outstretched, he placed them on the shoulders of his grandparents, and hugged the two old people, showing his intimacy.

In this game, he didn't lose!

"Mom and Dad, I am asking you for money this time because I am really planning to start a career."

While tapping on the phone, Su Aobai first named the purpose of asking for money.

"Hmmmm."

Miao Yinhua and Su Quangen nodded in understanding.

That's right, every time I ask for money, I say that I want to do a big business.

The old couple thought about how much their son wanted this time, and if it wasn't much, they would just give it.

But this time Su Aobai didn't directly say how much he wanted.

"Mom and Dad, take a look at these short videos. My entrepreneurial direction this time is actually somewhat similar to what that brat Tianyuan said just now. As you all know, I have been playing games before and want to become a professional gamer." , But, over the past few years, I found that I am not suitable for this industry, because real professional players have high requirements for reaction, hand speed, and physical fitness. I am too old, if I was ten or twenty earlier In 2019, I didn't put all my energy into writing novels, maybe I can really succeed, but now I can't, it's not as good as their young people's spirit."

Su Aobai said cheekily, that's right, it's definitely not because his operation is stinky when playing games, but because he is old and can't keep up with the rhythm of young people.

The second elder couldn't understand, so he nodded his head there.

Su Tianyuan curled his lips behind him, this kind of kindergarten chicken who can't compare with elementary school chickens, dared to shamelessly say that the reason why he didn't become a professional gamer was because he was old, his face was made of steel Bar.

"So, I wondered if I should change the direction, so I aimed at the direction of live broadcast and short video. Tianyuan said a few words before that are good, that is, if live broadcast and short video are played well, it is true He can make a lot of money, but this kid wants to be an Internet celebrity because he was fooled by others. He hasn't studied it at all. He just listens to other people's words and feels that he can succeed. It’s different for me, I want to do this line of work after preliminary research.”

Su Aobai is well versed in the way of pulling and stepping, while elevating himself, he first stepped on his stupid son.

Su Tianyuan, who was trampled on, took a deep breath after listening, his lungs exploded again.

"never-"

Just wanted to refute it.

"That's right, that's it."

Su Aobai interrupted him and clicked on a short video.

The one who entered the mirror was an old lady wearing a big flower jacket with a kind face.

The setting of the scene is very simple. It is in a spacious small farmyard, with a few big trees with lush green leaves behind it. There is a table and a stove in the middle of the yard. The old lady is standing behind the table, and there is a chopping board on the table in front of her. With a large kitchen knife, she held a piece of black pork liver in her hand, and looked at the camera with a friendly smile.

Su Quangen and Miao Yinhua wondered, what's so good about such an ordinary old lady?

Miao Yinhua even made a comparison in her heart, feeling that she was prettier than that old lady, so she even stroked the broken hair at her temples, feeling a little beautiful in her heart.

"Grandma, can this pork liver be eaten after being burnt like this?"

There was actually a background sound, the man who spoke called the old lady in the video as grandma.

"You don't understand, it's delicious when cooked like this!"

In the video, the grandma smiled brightly, picked up the piece of pork liver and began to clean, process and cook it.

Oh, it turned out to be a cooking video, Su Quangen nodded while watching.

"This pork liver should have been burned in an old stove. The black-gray layer on the outside is plant ash, which can be eaten. I remember that when I was young, many people in my hometown used this method to burn pork liver, because it is easy to handle. Simple, plant ash can also remove part of the smell of pork liver."

Su Quangen pointed to the video and explained to other people around him.

"However, few people do this now. Firstly, it is because the city uses gas and natural gas, and there is no earthen stove to cook it. Secondly, there are more seasonings now. Other methods can also remove the peculiar smell of pork liver. If the ashes are burned once, the pork liver will become old easily, and the taste will not be so tender when it is fried again."

Although he didn't fully inherit the chef's father's craftsmanship, he still knows a lot of recipes and tips on how to make delicious dishes. In addition, he has opened a small food shop for decades, and has accumulated a lot of experience, which is better than ordinary people. The chef must be much stronger.

The video is still going on. The old lady cleaned the ash from the pork liver, then sliced ​​it, added various seasonings and stir-fried it in the pan. In the video, all kinds of red, green and green seasonings set off the brown pork liver. It is very attractive, coupled with the luster of the oil after stir-frying, the rising heat in the camera seems to bring the fragrance to them in front of the camera.

"Grandma, why is it so fragrant?"

The narration of the video suddenly changed its tone, from being pessimistic at the beginning to salivating now.

"It smells delicious. If you want to eat, order a little heart for grandma."

The old lady put the pork liver out of the pot with a smile on her face. In the whole video, in addition to the delicious dishes, her hearty and kind smile also left a deep impression on the audience. Many people didn’t even pay attention to the food itself. , but I feel that seeing her is like seeing my own grandma and grandma. There is a warm feeling that the elders have carefully prepared meals for themselves when they go home.

The video is very short, about three or four minutes long.

"She didn't cook this dish right, she added too much soy sauce, why did she add salt later, it tastes too salty, is this from the island or from the spicy province, um, the heat is a little too long, it's all cooked in advance The pork liver is too old, if the stir-fry time is shortened by 20 to 30 seconds, the taste will not be so old."

Su Quangen was still commenting on the cooking methods of others.

However, he is from the perspective of a professional chef. From the perspective of ordinary home-cooked dishes, the old lady's cooking skills are already pretty good.

"Dad, don't worry about whether the food is good or not, you should first look at their compliments."

Su Aobai pointed to the little red heart lit up on the right side of the video.

Miao Yinhua and Su Quangen took a closer look.

Whoa! 123.4W!

"There are more than a hundred people who like this dish. This old lady has quite a lot of friends. She must be the leader of the square dance team."

The old lady said clearly, but what does the .4 in the back mean? Children’s likes count as 0.1?

"Mom, this W is an abbreviation for Wan. This is 123.4 people. This is 1234000."

Su Aobai was amused, he didn't expect his mother to have such humor.

After hearing his explanation, the old couple gasped.

How many? More than a million people, more than a million people watch this old lady cook when they have nothing to do?

The two were deeply envious, the old lady felt that she was older and prettier than the old lady in the video, and the old man felt that his craftsmanship was better than that old lady.

"Actually, it's more than that. There are more than one million likes, which means that at least more people have watched her video, and you see, her attention has already exceeded ten million. That is to say, There are more than 10 million people who like her, and hope to see her videos frequently."

What Su Aobai showed the two elders was a big Internet celebrity in the short video. In the early years, Internet celebrities were more inclined towards fashion trends or spoofs, but in recent years, everyone’s life pace may be too fast, and life pressure is too great , On the contrary, it promotes the rise of life flow and show off wealth flow.

One of these two genres is the ordinary and warm daily life, and the other is the height beyond the reach of ordinary people. However, in the fast-food and high-pressure living environment, both have become the types of life that everyone expects and yearns for. .

The old couple were completely stunned, more than 10 million yuan, such an ordinary old lady, how could so many people like it?

"My business plan this time is to engage in live broadcasting and short video creation. I want to praise you, Dad. In my heart, your cooking skills are among the best. Let's make a cooking teaching video. The materials are all ready-made. , I’ll be in charge of taking pictures of you cooking, plus our mother occasionally gets into the camera to shoot some scenes where the customers in the snack shop are like a cloud, I am confident that my father will become a big internet celebrity like this old lady.”

Su Aobai revealed his purpose.

"No, no, I can't."

When he heard that his son wanted to take a picture of himself and upload it online for others to see, the old man's first reaction was to refuse.

The old lady was a little moved, she was still looking at other videos and comments on her son's mobile phone.

Look at how funny the kids who leave the comments are.

【I really like grandma. Seeing grandma is like seeing grandma in my hometown. I miss the sugar glutinous rice cake that grandma made for me.】

[Grandma, can I go to your house for dinner? Woohoo, I declare that you are my long-lost grandma! 】

【Can I go to your house and steal grandma? I advise you not to be ignorant】

While watching, Miao Yinhua showed a motherly smile.

This kind of life streaming video, plus she is an old lady, very few people will leave dark remarks in this kind of video, almost all of them are warm, and occasionally there will be a few funny words.

Miao Yinhua thought, how happy she would be if she could also be in the mirror and a bunch of people called her grandma.

"Dad, why can't you do it? Just tell me, is your craftsmanship better than this old lady? Our neighbors here have been using your craftsmanship for decades. If a new customer comes here occasionally, who wouldn't?" Thumbs up to praise you that this dish is delicious?"

To be honest, the price/performance ratio of Sujia snack shop is really high. In restaurants with the same price, the taste is definitely first-class.

After listening to his son's words, Su Quangen was also a little complacent, yes, his craftsmanship is indeed very good.

The old lady in the video can be liked by so many people, and her craftsmanship is better, so she should be able to get more likes, right?

It's just that the old man is still a little reserved. He has followed the steps all his life and has never been in contact with a camera. Now that the eldest girl is on the sedan chair, she is a little embarrassed.

"Dad, what are you messing with!"

Seeing that his grandparents were moved, Su Tianyuan became anxious. In his opinion, his father was messing around.

Does he have experience in cultivating internet celebrities? Does he know how to promote it?

His father is a gnawing old man who has been at home for decades, and now he swears that these words are just to coax money from the elders. Su Tianyuan does not believe that his father can really train his grandparents to become internet celebrity.

But he is different. The trade union boss he came into contact with has successfully cultivated many Internet celebrities. He has sufficient experience, and he is good-looking, which fits the current mainstream aesthetics of fresh meat. Su Tianyuan I feel that as long as the trade union pushes him behind, he will definitely be a hit.

So instead of giving the money to his dad to reward the author or buy equipment in the game, it is better to invest the money in him. When he earns money in the future, he will definitely return it to his grandparents a thousand times and a hundred times.

In fact, to be honest, Su Tianyuan is not a white-eyed wolf in the true sense. He is just used to his grandparents being kind to him in every possible way. It is still a body of steel, which can protect him from wind and rain.

In addition, he has not developed correct values. He always feels that he has a lot of money in his family, and he only uses a very insignificant part of it, so it seems justifiable to ask for it.

But the relationship between him and his grandparents is also real. If he really develops, he will definitely not be stingy in giving money back to his elders.

"Grandma, my dad must be fooling you. I just said that the boss of the trade union wants to train me to become an Internet celebrity, and he copied my statement, saying that he wants to make you two famous. My dad doesn't know anything at all."

Su Tianyuan spoke very fast, angry and anxious.

"I think the one who doesn't know anything is you."

Su Aobai immediately turned back.

"Dad, Mom, look at this kid."

He pulled the second elder and looked at his angry son.

"Don't think that this is your grandson, now you just see such a person passing by the roadside, think about it, what are the advantages of this kid."

Su Aobai didn't show him any mercy.

"Face, well, there's nothing to choose about the face, it's really good looking, because it looks like his father."

He passed over his son's handsome and fair face. This sentence made the two elders laugh. Their good grandson does look like his father, but who does his father look like? He is not like the old of the two of them. This shows that the two of them The old ones also look good, so that they can pass on such a good face to the younger generations.

"It's not that anyone who looks good can be an Internet celebrity, can he sing, can he dance, he can't do anything, don't people watch his live broadcast and see him just sitting there, facing his face How many hours in a daze? If I just go to the gate of the art school to recruit some young girls and young people just because of my good looks, then wouldn’t I be able to start an Internet celebrity company and loose hundreds of millions in a year?”

Su Aobai gave the two elders an analysis.

"This Internet celebrity is not something anyone can be, so after careful consideration, I chose the two of you, my parents, because my father's craftsmanship is top-notch, and our family's craftsmanship can be regarded as a family tradition, starting from my grandfather's generation. , is a century-old brand, and our mother is gentle and kind, and she works neatly, you two are talented, don't you just throw this kind of shameless young man away thousands of miles away."

The more Su Tianyuan listened, the more anxious he became, but he was powerless to refute.

He really can't sing, and he was tone deaf since he was a child. When he was a child, the school choir came to each class to pick students. The teacher saw him as a good person, so he was selected away, and he was sent back after only staying for one day.

He can't even dance. For a while, he went to learn hip-hop dance for fun, but his back was as hard as a steel plate. He was a mechanical dancer, and he could walk like a crab.

The teacher cried and handed the money back to his grandma, telling his grandma not to send him to dance lessons in the future, saying that because he was learning dance there, when other parents came to visit, they thought it was the teacher's teaching.

Although his father told the truth, Su Tianyuan was still not convinced.

Who said that one must be able to sing and dance to be an Internet celebrity, now there are many skills of Internet celebrities, some teach beauty makeup, some teach clothing matching, there are also emotional bloggers, public knowledge bloggers...

Well, he doesn't know that either.

Su Tianyuan kept a straight face, thinking about his specialties.

Does QAQ pay money? But the little money he can spend is not worthy of living extravagantly.

But the bosses of the trade union said that he was able to make him popular, it must be because he discovered the unknown advantages in him, he must be popular.

"grandparents!"

Unexpectedly, how to refute, Su Tianyuan acted like a baby with the second elder, because he knew that his grandparents loved him very much, and he would never allow his father to hurt his self-esteem like this.

"Be tactful when talking to your kids."

Sure enough, Miao Yinhua took her grandson's hand and stared helplessly at her son.

"Although what you said is true, it hurt our child's self-esteem."

QAQ, Su Tianyuan wants to cry.

grandmother! My dear grandma, do you also think what Dad said is right!

Su Quangen picked up the small wine cup and took a sip of the shochu, feeling a little beautiful in his heart.

Indeed, as a grandfather, he has good cooking skills, much better than his grandson. Just like his son said, he is the talent needed for live broadcasting on the Internet!

It seems that the son he gave birth to is not without success. He has at least one advantage, that is, he has vision.

Although they felt sorry for their grandson, the couple agreed that their son's choice was correct and they were indeed better.

"Mom and Dad, take it as support for my career. I'm in my forties and I'm still doing nothing. I don't want to be pointed at by people all the time."

Su Aobai's words are all about this point, how can the second elder be willing to refuse.

And they didn't say anything, but they actually hoped that if they really became popular, there would be so many people who liked them. This would be such a respectable thing among the neighbors.

However, due to their son's consistent behavior, they didn't have much hope for it.

"what about me?"

Su Tianyuan spread his hands, wanting money too.

"Mom and Dad, what I said just now was not entirely aimless. Think again, there is already one me in the family, do you really want Tianyuan to be the second me? He is still young and still has a chance to change."

This should be a rare time for Su Aobai to be serious today.

The couple's hearts sank, and they couldn't care less about the joy of fantasizing about becoming famous in the future.

In fact, they also know that their sons and grandchildren are probably spoiled by themselves, but neither of them can make a decision to correct it.

In the past, the son never cared about how they taught the grandson, but now he suddenly started to intervene, do you think they are too indulgent to the children.

With this in mind, the two old men gritted their teeth.

Since the child's own father can't bear to look at it anymore, let's take care of it!

Doing according to their son's ideas, if they can't change it, they will admit it.

"You really love my dad the most, and you don't love me anymore. Well, then I won't rely on you. I will find a way by myself. When I become popular, you will know that I am right and he is wrong!"

This was the first time that Su Tianyuan was rejected by his grandparents because his father was a hindrance.

He was so sad that he stood up angrily, pointed at his own father, rushed out of the snack shop like a gust of wind, and ran away without looking back.

"My child, I haven't finished my meal yet."

Miao Yinhua was anxious to chase her out, and she even started to regret it. Isn't it just 200,000, just give it.

"Mom, don't worry about him. He's in his twenties. He won't die of hunger. If he really runs out of money, he will definitely come back."

In contrast, Su Aobai was extremely calm.

"Why!"

The old lady sighed and returned to the dinner table.

"You didn't care about the child before."

The old lady felt that her son had changed a bit today, and Su Quangen was also carefully observing her eldest son.

"It doesn't matter."

Su Aobai sighed deeply.

"Our family's income mainly comes from the rent and the money your parents earned from opening a small restaurant, but if the house is worthless in the future, the rent will not be worth much? What if the two of you can't earn in the future? I must Urge that kid to make progress, and earn more money to support me in the future."

The old couple looked at each other, feeling that their son wanted to eat the old one and the young one.

This is really... so clever!

Like something their son could do.

Fortunately, okay, my son's brain is fine.

The couple calmed down and gave their son a sum of money to buy live broadcast tools and early promotion, but they were even more hopeless about becoming famous in their hearts.

It's still the original plan, save more money, and then secretly leave some more for the grandson, so that he can have money for me to eat.
