Chapter 250 Ah~Xi~Ba~
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."
"It's okay."
Huang Xu waved at Kim Taeyeon, took the tissue handed to him by Goo Hara, and wiped the place where she sprayed.
Fortunately, she had anticipated the effect, so she only took a small sip of the herbal tea. The places that were wetted by her spray would dry up in a short while according to the current temperature in Guangzhou.
So after wiping it briefly, he urged Kim Taeyeon who was in a daze holding the bottle of herbal tea.
"I'll finish it in a moment, but you have to finish this herbal tea as soon as possible, otherwise it won't be as effective in a while."
"But it's very bitter, and are you sure this is herbal tea? Not herbal medicine?"
Kim Taeyeon looked at the herbal tea in her hand, recalling the taste just now. A painful expression appeared on her face again. It was obvious that she was very resistant to the taste of the herbal tea just now.
Huang Xu looked at Kim Taeyeon's painful expression, so he pointed in the direction of the store and spoke to the passers-by who were buying the herbal tea and slowly savoring it.
"Herbal tea is only effective when it's bitter, and you're just not used to it the first time you take a sip. Look at the people over there, how they drink it."
"Why would anyone drink like this? Don't they find it bitter?"
Following Huang Xu's finger, Kim Taeyeon also saw that there were quite a few people over there, all holding the same kind of herbal tea as herself and drinking it while walking.
This made her, who had just tried this flavor, obviously a little confused.
How could anyone like to drink something so bitter?
And you can enjoy drinking it.
Feeling the bitterness still lingering in her mouth and looking at the people enjoying themselves, Kim Taeyeon began to doubt her life.
Sunny, who was standing next to her, was very happy when she saw Kim Taeyeon’s frowning eyebrows.
As a melon-eating expert in Girls' Generation, she really enjoys seeing her teammates suffer.
Not to mention that she had been tricked by this incident once, so when Kim Taeyeon experienced this, how could she let it go?
And compared to herself, who only needs to take a sip, Kim Taeyeon now has a legitimate reason to finish the whole bottle.
How could Sunny, who had just seen Kim Taeyeon spit out the liquid after taking a sip, be willing to accept this?
So when he saw Kim Taeyeon looking at the herbal tea hesitantly, he said to her.
"Taeyeon, you should drink it. This herbal tea is really good for your health. Look at who is drinking it."
"But, this is too bitter, isn't it?"
"This proves that it works well. You were just a little uncomfortable with it just now. Once you get used to it, it won't be bitter anymore."
"Really?"
"Definitely."
Sunny saw that Kim Taeyeon had begun to waver, so she added fuel to the fire again.
"Think about the pimples on your face and your voice. Do we have a performance when we go back in two days? If your voice is still not good, then?"
"alright."
After hearing this, Kim Taeyeon knew that she had no choice but to drink.
On the one hand, this thing should have a certain effect, otherwise so many people wouldn’t come to buy it, and Huang Xu wouldn’t bring himself here.
On the other hand, she had already realized that Sunny's purpose today was to make her drink this and feel the bitterness.
So she first glanced at Sunny, remembered her behavior today in her heart, then took a deep breath, pinched her nose and drank the bitter herbal tea.
Her straightforward reaction surprised Sunny, who had taken out her cell phone to record her painful expression.
According to her previous idea, even if Kim Taeyeon made up her mind, she shouldn't be able to drink it all at once.
Then she could only drink it little by little so that she could record her painful expression being tortured by the herbal tea, and then send it to the group of her group to be laughed at by everyone.
But seeing that Kim Taeyeon not only drank it all in one gulp, but also did not show any other expression of pain except for a slight frown after drinking it, Sunny felt a little disappointed.
Why is this happening?
Kim Taeyeon, who had just finished drinking the herbal tea, glanced at Sunny and a smug smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
You wanted to see me make a fool of myself, now you are disappointed.
With just this little thing, do you still want to stump me?
I am Kim Taeyeon!
But is this thing really bitter?
Just as Kim Taeyeon and Sunny were having a secret battle, Huang Xu also sat down in the passenger seat and handed Kim Taeyeon a cup of sugar water that had been prepared long ago.
"Have a cup of mango sago."
"Kangsangsmida!"
Taking the mango sago handed over by Huang Xu, Kim Taeyeon couldn't wait to take a big sip. Feeling the fresh and sweet taste of the mango sago, her frowned brows also relaxed.
The sweetness of mango juice, the unripe grapefruit flesh, the smoothness of sago, and the richness of cream, these flavors are clearly layered in the mouth, and the feeling of blending with each other made Kim Taeyeon's eyes widen a little.
"Huang Xu, what is this? It tastes great."
"Yangzhi Ganlu, this is a kind of sweet soup unique to this place, I hope you like it."
"Of course I like it. This is the first time I taste this flavor."
After taking another big sip, Kim Taeyeon added.
“This is really great.”
"Yeah, the last time I came here, I liked the taste of this. Unfortunately, it's hard to find this outside of here."
Sunny looked at Kim Taeyeon's happy expression and couldn't help but sigh.
She also really likes this sweet soup called Yangzhi Ganlu. The last time she came here, she drank several cups before leaving.
Now when she tasted the flavor again, she sighed a little, and then complained even more.
“Why isn’t this sold in Seoul?”
"Well, actually if you want to drink it, I can make it for you in Seoul."
"You can do it, too?"
When they heard Huang Xu say that he could do it too, both Kim Taeyeon and Sunny's eyes lit up. They stared at Huang Xu together, and there was a hint of resentment in Sunny's eyes.
"You can do this, too? Why didn't you tell me?"
"Well, you didn't ask."
"Axi~"
Sunny looked at Huang Xu's innocent expression and could only sulk by herself helplessly. At the same time, she also regretted why she didn't ask Huang Xu if he could do it.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have waited so long to drink this.
At the same time, Goo Hara, who had been silent just now, looked at Huang Xu with shining eyes, pointing at the drink in her hand and said.
"Oppa, can you do this too?"
"Sure, this one is even easier to make. I can even teach you how to make it yourself."
Huang Xu's expression was a little subtle after taking a look at the papaya stewed with lily and rock sugar in Goo Hara's hand. He paid special attention to the slightly raised hill of Goo Hara.
Goo Hara naturally saw Huang Xu's eyes, her face flushed slightly, and then she raised her head and looked at Huang Xu.
"Then Oppa, teach me how to do this when you go back."
"No problem, I'll teach you how to do it when we get back."
"Yeah! Thank you, Oppa."
"Hola, what is this? Is it delicious?"
Kim Taeyeon, who heard the conversation between the two, also turned her attention to the sugar water in Goo Hara's hand and was obviously interested in it.
Although she had only been in China for one day and had only eaten two meals, some fruit and a drink, she had an inexplicable liking and trust for Chinese cuisine and Guangzhou cuisine.
Although she had been to China before, it was mostly for performances or to attend ceremonies, and she didn't have much time to taste Chinese cuisine.
The delicious food she tasted yesterday and this morning opened the door to a new world for her, and she realized that there are so many different types of cooking.
Korean food is not limited to frying, grilling and stewing. There are also many more diverse ingredients and various cooking methods.
At the same time, I also understand why Huang Xu’s cooking skills are so good that he can open such a successful chain restaurant in Seoul.
But these are all beside the topic. Now she is very curious about what the "sugar water" in Goo Hara's hand tastes like, and why Goo Hara likes it so much that she even plans to learn how to cook it herself.
Goo Hara looked at the curious Kim Taeyeon and generously handed over the cup in her hand.
"Ouni, try it and see if you like it."
"Thank you, Hal. I'll just take a small bite."
Kim Taeyeon didn't bother to be polite with Goo Hara and took a bite with great anticipation, but the result made her feel a little disappointed.
It’s not that it doesn’t taste good, but it’s not as amazing as the Yangzhi Ganlu I drank myself. To put it bluntly, it’s just papaya boiled in sugar water. The texture and taste are just as I imagined, nothing special.
Goo Hara looked at Kim Taeyeon's expression and guessed what she was thinking. She knew that this sweet soup did not bring her any surprises.
So he leaned close to Kim Taeyeon's ear and whispered something.
"This papaya stew can make your breasts bigger."
"rich????"
Kim Taeyeon widened her eyes, first looking at the curves that appeared after she had put on two layers of padding, then looking at Sunny's majestic peaks, then looking at Goo Hara's hill that was almost the same as hers after putting on two layers of padding, and finally looking at the papaya stewed with rock sugar lily in her hand.
"real or fake?"
"I don't know either, but that's what people say outside."
"Well, when you come back to study, call me and we can study together."
"Uh-huh."
"what?"
Sunny looked at Kim Taeyeon and Goo Hara who were whispering to each other and seemed very curious. She wanted to know what they were discussing in such a low voice.
"What are you talking about?"
"Nothing, just some small things."
Kim Taeyeon turned her head to look at Sunny and quickly changed the subject, obviously not wanting Sunny to know what they were talking about.
However, when looking at Sunny's strong capital, he couldn't help but reveal a hint of envy.
Then he quickly restrained his envious expression and asked Huang Xu in front of him.
"Huang Xu, where are we going now? Is it the next delicious restaurant?"
"Let's not go to a restaurant. Let's go somewhere now, buy some food, and then take you to Yuexiu Park to walk around and help digest the food."
"Are you sure you can eat something at noon?"
"Forehead."
Looking at her belly, which was slightly bulging from drinking herbal tea and mango sago, Kim Taeyeon smiled awkwardly.
"That's right, but will the sun in the park be too strong? The sunscreen I applied today is not very high-grade, so..."
"It's okay. There are still a lot of trees there, and it's not too sunny."
"That's good."
. . . . . .
More than an hour later, in a pavilion somewhere in Yuexiu Park.
Sunny, Goo Hara and Kim Taeyeon surrounded Huang Xu and Zhang Rui and were opening two white boxes, looking very curious.
When Huang Xu and his friend opened the box and saw the white device with four propellers inside, they could no longer hold back. "Is this what you bought? A remote-controlled airplane?"
"Yes, it's a remote-controlled plane, but this one is a little different."
Huang Xu looked at the equipment he had just disassembled, and began to install it carefully according to the instructions, while also beginning to explain it to the three curious people.
"This remote-controlled aircraft can be used for filming."
"Filming? Using this plane?"
"Yes, that's what I rely on."
“But there’s no camera on this one either?”
“And why use a remote-controlled airplane to film it?”
"."
Listening to the three people's questions, Huang Xu calmly said something that shocked them.
“Right now, this machine still needs an external camera, but by the end of the year, there should be a drone with an integrated gimbal.”
"And according to my guess, in a few years, using drones to shoot videos should be a very normal thing."
"By that time, drone filming will be very common, whether it's a large-scale evening party, a variety show, or even some personal vlog videos."
"."
"As for the filming you were just worried about, you don't have to worry about it. By that time, drones used for filming should be available."
When Huang Xu was explaining to the three people, his eyes were full of nostalgia.
What he and Zhang Rui are assembling now is actually the first generation of drone released by DJI, and also the world's first integrated aerial photography drone.
This is the Phantom 1 drone released by DJI in January this year.
Although the first generation of the Elf drone seemed very simple and mediocre in the eyes of Huang Xu in later generations, it was not easy to operate, had no integrated gimbal camera, and had to rely on an external GoPro for filming.
It doesn’t even have the most important image transmission system for shooting. You can only rely on experience and imagine the shooting effects in your mind, and various problems often arise when using it.
However, Huang Xu couldn't put down this generation of equipment. After all, it was the simplest, most convenient and most advanced equipment for aerial photography that he could buy on the market.
The next generation Phantom 2 with an integrated lens will not be released until the end of this year, and the Inspire series of drones with built-in 4K cameras and capable of shooting high-definition videos will not be released until the end of next year.
Moreover, this equipment is enough for him to shoot some stunning shots in the variety show with Tara and others.
Let the public who currently do not understand or are completely unaware of drones, open their eyes.
After more than ten minutes of assembly and debugging, Huang Xu and Zhang Rui walked out of the pavilion with the equipment and prepared for the first test flight.
Of course, the operator of the aircraft is naturally Huang Xu, the reborn person. Although he did not obtain the qualification to fly a drone in his previous life, he has operated a drone several times when he went out to play with friends later, so he is not unfamiliar with drones.
And Zhang Rui is a little afraid to fly now.
You should know that when you first purchased it, the salesperson explained clearly that this drone, which is worth nearly 5,000 yuan, has a high risk of exploding.
Don’t forget, besides the drone, there is also an equally expensive GoPro and gimbal, so the price of the whole set of equipment has soared again.
Therefore, Zhang Rui was a little scared. Although he now earned about 10,000 yuan a month, with the dividends promised by Huang Xu, on average he should earn about 20,000 to 30,000 yuan a month.
But he still didn't dare to operate this drone, which was worth half a month's salary.
Huang Xu looked at his cautious appearance and did not force him to operate. Instead, he operated the equipment himself and started the first aerial photography in this life.
Since he had several flying experiences in his previous life, although the current equipment cannot be compared with that of a few years later, Huang Xu still operated the plane steadily and flew it.
However, due to the lack of image transmission, Huang Xu was able to fly according to the camera angle he had just set and the predetermined route.
And due to the limitation of signal transmission distance, Huang Xu and Zhang Rui also followed the movement trajectory of the drone and moved forward.
The three people in the pavilion looked at the drone above their heads and Huang Xu who was operating it below, which was getting farther and farther away. The curiosity on their faces became more intense.
It was the first time for them to see someone using such a small drone to take pictures, and they were very curious about what the results would be like.
As idols who frequently appear on various stages, they are not unfamiliar with this type of filming equipment, and can even be said to be quite familiar with it.
After all, when they are studying and training, there are dedicated staff to teach them about various camera equipment so that they can find the lens better.
Therefore, although they did not know much about photography, they could still imagine that if the shooting mode Huang Xu mentioned could be accepted by the public, then how much change the current shooting mode could cause.
Especially Kim Taeyeon, looking at Huang Xu and the other person who were gradually disappearing from their sight, and asked Sunny.
"Sunny, is this drone photography really possible?"
"Of course, otherwise why would Huang Xu go to so much trouble?"
"But what on earth is he going to do with all this trouble?"
"Ok?"
Sunny looked at Kim Taeyeon in surprise, obviously shocked by her question.
Kim Taeyeon naturally saw Sunny's expression, and looked at her seriously and asked:
"What exactly is Huang Xu going to shoot this time?"
"Don't try to fool me with lies. He is such a busy man that he left his franchising business in Seoul and came here to test various shooting parameters. Today, he even used high-tech drones."
"What on earth does he want to do?"
"This! It's a secret!"
Listening to Kim Taeyeon's words, the smile on Sunny's face became even brighter, and she repeated what Huang Xu said yesterday.
However, she didn't say anything final. After seeing Kim Taeyeon's frown, she said something.
"If you really want to know, then ask him yourself."
Then, regardless of Kim Taeyeon's somewhat solemn expression, he took Goo Hara's hand and sat aside. Only Kim Taeyeon was left standing by the pavilion, staring in a daze at the direction where Huang Xu left.
"Unnie, is this really okay for us?"
Goo Hara looked at Kim Taeyeon's back and asked Sunny in a serious voice.
“Isn’t this a bit…”
"What? Not willing to give up?"
"No, unnie, I just feel like if I do this behind Oppa's back, he might get angry."
"If he's angry, it's not that simple. You can just apologize to him. He won't be able to bear to lose his temper with you."
"Ouni~~, you"
"What? Am I wrong?"
Sunny looked at the shy expression on Goo Hara's face and said to her with a smile.
"When the time comes, change into your stage costume and do as you did last time."
"Hey, unnie, you're still talking about me. Have you forgotten the clothes you wore a few days ago?"
"It was the first time I saw Oppa get so excited."
"."
Just when Sunny and Goo Hara were chatting enthusiastically about private topics, Huang Xu and Zhang Rui, who had just left, came back with their drones that ran out of battery.
This made Kim Taeyeon, who was standing next to the pavilion, a little curious. She took two steps to greet the two people, while looking at the drone curiously.
"What happened? Did the plane explode?"
"No, and can't you just think of something nice for me?"
"Isn't this caring about you?"
After seeing that Huang Xu and the drone were fine, Kim Taeyeon felt relieved and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Then why did you come back so soon?"
"Isn't the power out?"
"The battery is out? You guys just went out to shoot for a few minutes? And it's already out of power."
"No way, this is the limitation of the current equipment. It should be improved later."
Huang Xu was also a little troubled and worried about the battery capacity of the drone in his hand.
After all, this drone can only shoot for five or six minutes, which is indeed not enough.
And when it is said to be five or six minutes, don’t forget that after the drone flies out, it also needs to reserve enough battery for returning.
Therefore, the five or six minutes of standby time needs to be subtracted, and the time actually available for shooting may be only three or four minutes.
Thinking of this, he looked down at the drone that was out of power and said.
"It seems that if we want to achieve good enough results, two drones are not enough. I will go back and see the shooting results later. If they work, I will buy two, just in case. I also need to prepare a few more batteries."
With the end of the first test flight, Huang Xu took Zhang Rui to another different location and conducted aerial photography again using a spare battery.
The aerial photography test was not ended until the two backup batteries of the two drones and the mobile aircraft were out of power.
After that, the few people wandered around the park aimlessly, enjoying the beautiful scenery. Huang Xu took out his camera and took a lot of photos of the three of them.
Of course, photos of Huang Xu with them are also indispensable.
The various buildings with a strong Chinese architectural style and the carefully designed plants also made the group have a lot of fun.
It was not until one o'clock in the afternoon that everyone felt a little hungry, so they ended the trip to the park, returned to the car, and drove towards today's lunch destination, Sham Tseng Village on Cheung Chau Island in Guangzhou.
There is a very famous Cantonese delicacy here, Deep Well Roast Goose. As the most traditional and oldest delicacy in Cantonese cuisine, roast goose has a very wide audience in Guangzhou and surrounding areas.
Black and brown geese of about ninety days old are selected, slaughtered and cleaned, and then marinated with roast goose salt and Xinhui tangerine peel. After the skin is sewn and scalded to shape, it is poured with crispy water and air-dried for eight hours before being roasted in an oven burning lychee wood.
The final roast goose is golden red in color, with crispy and tender skin, full of juice and fragrance. Just looking at it makes you want to take a bite.
Compared to Huang Xu and others who had already tasted this delicacy, Kim Taeyeon, who was seeing it for the first time, couldn't take her eyes off the golden-red roast goose on the plate in front of her.
Plus, the roast goose was just out of the oven, so it was steaming hot and smelled delicious, which made Kim Taeyeon swallow her saliva.
Sunny looked at Kim Taeyeon's expression, secretly picked up her mobile phone, turned on the camera, and then spoke to her.
"Taeyeon, just eat whatever you want. You don't have to be polite here."
"Really? Then I'll be welcome."
Kim Taeyeon looked around and found that Huang Xu and the others didn't care about her eating first, so she clasped her hands together and said something.
"Then I'll start."
Then she picked up a piece of goose meat, and looking at the juice flowing out of it, Kim Taeyeon didn't care about her image and put it directly into her mouth, then she showed a very satisfied expression.
"Hmm~~~~, so satisfying."
“This smells so good!”
"."
While Kim Taeyeon was still immersed in the tenderness and juiciness of the roast goose with a look of satisfaction on her face, Sunny had secretly uploaded the video she had just recorded to the group members' group.
Along with the sound of a new message alert, someone who had just finished a commercial performance in Seoul and got in the car with his agent to the next location also opened his phone and saw the video uploaded by Sunny.
Looking at the enjoyable look on Kim Taeyeon's face in the video, and thinking back to the one schedule after another he had in the past two days because of Kim Taeyeon, he suddenly cursed.
"Ah~si~bar~"
