A Journey Through the Worlds of Film and Television.

Chapter 200 Flower Cake

It was another sunny morning with a gentle breeze. Chen Nanxing woke up Xu Hongdou who was still sleepy. The two girls accompanied Lu Cheng out early, went to the town to eat a bowl of hot rice noodles, returned to the yard to play with the cat, practiced some Ba Duan Jin, and sweated. It felt as if every cell in their bodies was awakened.

After the activity was over, Ma Qiushan came over and asked curiously, "Teacher Lu, I saw you guys practicing Ba Duan Jin just now, why is it a little different from what I practice?"

"I studied Chinese medicine, and this set of Eight Section Brocade was taught by an old Chinese doctor. It is a little different from everything else on the market. But the effect is good. If Mr. Ma is interested, you can learn it from me in the future."

"Of course I'm interested. Just now, when I saw you guys doing the movements, I felt that you were more professional. When it comes to health preservation, you definitely have to see a Chinese doctor."

"Okay, we'll do it once in the morning and once in the evening. Master Ma can study with us in the evening."

"Thank you very much. I will go to meditate first."

After saying this, Machushan walked under his parasol, took off his cloth shoes, sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and his mind wandered away.

At this moment, Da Mai from the second floor also came down.

Today, Da Mai was wearing a brown super long sweatshirt. The sleeves were longer than his arms and reached directly to his ankles. His hands were also tucked into the sleeves.

Lu Cheng didn't know whether this was a sweatshirt or pajamas.

Seeing the three people in the yard, Da Mai took the initiative to greet them: "Hello, didn't you go out to play today?"

Xu Hongdou nodded: "We have visited all the nearby attractions recently, and we want to have a good rest in the village for the next two days."

Over the past few days, Da Mai has met Xu Hongdou and Chen Nanxing several times and greeted each other, so they are quite familiar with each other.

Chen Nanxing has a very enthusiastic personality. Sometimes when he buys delicious food outside, he will bring back a portion for Damai.

Da Mai would come out to cook midnight snacks at night and would also invite Chen Nanxing and Xu Hongdou.

Of course, Barley mainly doesn't want to do the dishes himself.

Before Lu Cheng and the other two arrived, Da Mai and Nana were perfect dinner partners. When Nana wanted to have a midnight snack, she would call Da Mai. Da Mai would also call Nana when he had a midnight snack, one of them would cook and the other would wash the dishes.

But Nana is still busy running the restaurant and doesn't always have time to cook with Da Mai.

The arrival of Xu Hongdou and Chen Nanxing gave Damai two more candidates for cooking partners.

After learning that Damai was an online writer, Chen Nanxing seemed very interested and wanted to try being a writer and record the stories he had experienced.

After a few interactions, the three women quickly became familiar with each other.

Seeing that Da Mai had dark circles under his eyes again, Chen Nanxing took the initiative to persuade him: "Da Mai, you can't turn day and night upside down like this every day, your body can't stand it. No matter what job you do, your health is your first asset. Just like me, I only understood this truth after I got sick."

"I know. Teacher Lu has advised me before, and I have been trying to adjust myself recently."

As they were talking, Aunt Agui came out in a hurry, holding a phone in her hand: "Don't rush me, don't rush me, I'm about to go out."

After saying that, Aunt Agui hung up the phone, turned around and saw several people in the yard, then walked up: "Hongdou, Nanxing, Lu Cheng, this should be Damai, right?"

Barley nodded, and Aunt Agui smiled and said, "You have been here for a month, and we have only met twice. It is not good to stay stuck in the house every day. Do you have anything to do now? If you don't, come with me to make flower cakes."

Chen Nanxing stood up immediately after hearing this: "Aunt Agui, is this the kind of flower cake with roses inside?"

"Yes, there is also a breast fan. Come on, come with me."

Chen Nanxing and Xu Hongdou both stood up. Aunt Agui looked at Damai again and said, "Damai, come too."

Da Mai shook his head repeatedly: "You guys go, I won't go."

Auntie Agui walked straight to Damai and said, "Look at you, little girl. After you came here, you hide in your room every day and don't come out to see anyone. Look at how bad your face looks. You don't look healthy at all. Young people should go out more often. Let's go, let's go together."

Having said that, Aunt Agui directly pulled Damai up and walked out.

Da Mai was still postponing: "Aunt Gui, I really don't know anything."

"It's very simple, you can learn it in no time. Let's go, Aquarius will be urging us soon."

Chen Nanxing also pulled Damai from the other side: "Damai, let's go together. I don't know anything either. Let's learn together."

After the women stood up, Aunt Agui turned around and said to Lu Cheng, "This is our women's job, so we won't ask you to go. Just wait here and eat."

Lu Cheng waved his hand: "Thank you, Aunt Agui."

Chen Nanxing also turned around and smiled at Lu Cheng: "When Hongdou and I are done, we will bring it back for you to eat and see who of us makes better."

"Then I'll just wait."

After the women left, the only people left in the yard were Ma Qiushan and Lu Cheng who were meditating, and two cats.

Lu Cheng was just about to get a book and sit on the windowsill to kill time, but Ma Qiushan stopped meditating and stood up: "Finally it's a little quieter. Teacher Lu, would you like some tea?"

Lu Cheng smiled calmly: "Yes."

"please."

Ma Qiushan is a very interesting person. Although he is a bit pretentious and likes to show off his knowledge, he is not a bad person.

Arriving at the tea room, Ma Qiushan sat down skillfully, lit sandalwood, prepared tea, and asked, "Teacher Lu, black tea or Pu'er?"

"Pu'er, thank you."

"Teacher Lu, how do you feel after staying here for a few days?"

"Not bad, with beautiful mountains, rivers and people. It's a good place to cultivate one's character."

"If your heart is calm, you can find peace in a bustling city. If your heart is not calm, there will be disturbances in the mountains and forests. Teacher Lu, is your heart calm?"

"Neither quiet nor still."

"What a quiet and unquiet one, Teacher Lu's realm is extraordinary. Please."

Lu Cheng chuckled, picked up the teacup and took a sip. In fact, he was just talking nonsense.

Ma Qiushan continued, "In fact, life is a practice, looking for the essence of life in stillness and restlessness. Just like this tea..."

Lu Cheng interrupted directly: "Master Ma, you mean that this tea also needs to go through continuous fermentation and tempering before finally becoming the cup of tea in our hands. This is also a kind of practice, right?"

Ma Qiushan's face froze when he heard this, as if his lines had been snatched away. He quickly put away the embarrassment on his face and smiled slightly: "Well, I mean that the tea soup is bright in color and has been brewed to its best. Please."

After drinking some tea with Ma Qiushan and listening to him chat for a while, Lu Cheng heard the voices of Xu Hongdou, Chen Nanxing and Damai coming from the yard.

Lu Cheng then stood up and said, "Master Ma, Hongdou and the others must have made some flower cakes. Do you want to go down and try some?"

Ma Qiushan also stood up and said, "It's time to go out and move around."
