MTL - Serve as Contrast Team in a ‘Dad with Baby’ Show-Chapter 36 my daughter

—If she had a father, what kind of hope would she have?

Hearing Lin Cheng's question, Lin Momo froze for a moment.

Lin Momo had never thought about this question before, but now, she actually has a father, but no one else knows about it except herself.

Lin Momo tilted her head slightly, looking at Lin Cheng in a daze.

"Don't know?" Lin Cheng asked.

Lin Momo shook her head, pointed at Lin Cheng again, and said, "Just like you."

Lin Cheng was her father in the first place.

Thinking of this, Lin Momo secretly felt happy.

Lin Momo's answer was unexpected to Lin Cheng, but it was an unexpected surprise.

In the dimly lit car, at an angle that Lin Momo couldn't see, Lin Cheng smiled.

After a pause, Lin Cheng asked again: "Apart from that, do you have any other requirements for Dad?"

Lin Cheng looked at Lin Momo seriously, as if he planned to write down the girl's request seriously.

However, Lin Momo just looked at Lin Cheng with a little confusion and shook his head.

"I don't know..." She thinks it's good to be like Lin Cheng.

After all, apart from Lin Cheng, Lin Momo's knowledge of 'father' is very limited.

Lin Cheng also seemed to understand the reason for Lin Momo's confusion, so he stopped asking.

"If you don't think of it, you can think about it slowly. When you think of it, you can tell me." Lin Cheng said in a light tone.

Hearing this, Lin Momo nodded with a half understanding.

—

Because it was already night when the two set off, there was not enough time to clean up before check-in, so the program team did not send Lin Cheng and Lin Momo directly to the small restaurant where they were about to record the program, but first The two were sent to a temporarily arranged hotel for check-in.

The program team's car arrived at the temporary hotel very quickly.

From the moment Lin Cheng and Lin Momo got off the car, the two of them officially started filming this episode of the show.

In the live broadcast room, seeing the figures of the father and daughter appearing on the screen, the comments in the barrage area began to increase:

[Ah, it's finally here! 】

[The wait is finally here! 】

[Why are you here so late, the other groups seem to start broadcasting in the afternoon. 】

[Didn't the program team say it before, it seems that it was a little delayed because of the schedule. ] This is the reason the program team came up with for Lin Cheng and Lin Momo's 'queaky'.

【Scared me to death, I thought the group of Lin Cheng and Momo was going to be replaced! 】

[I also thought that when I heard that the program group was going to do a family elimination to be customized, I was worried to death. 】Although the group of Lin Cheng and Lin Momo gained some popularity through several episodes of the live broadcast and last Saturday's feature film, but compared to the other groups, the popularity of this father-daughter combination is still the bottom.

[I don't want this group to be replaced, I just like to watch the live broadcast of Lin Cheng's group. 】

[I also think it's quite interesting to watch Lin Cheng and Lin Momo's serious life records after watching the other groups of cute parent-child interactions. 】

【right! Not only is it interesting, but it's also very high-level, haha. 】

…

Here, Lin Cheng took Lin Momo into the hotel lobby.

At this time, everyone in the director's team was already waiting in front of the hall.

Seeing Lin Cheng and Lin Momo coming, the director immediately smiled and greeted them, "Good evening, Papa Lin and Momo."

Lin Cheng also pulled Lin Momo to say "good evening" to everyone in the director's team.

Seeing this, the director was a little surprised.

From the moment the father and daughter came in, she noticed the smile on Lin Cheng's face.

I don't know if it's her illusion, but she always feels that Lin Cheng's mood seems to be very good at this moment, and it's completely different from the previous state.

— I don’t know if it happened to something good, or because it finally became popular because of the broadcast of the first episode of the program?

The director muttered something in his heart, stepped forward a few steps, and walked in front of Lin Cheng and Lin Momo.

"Because it's already very late today, considering the distance and safety issues, dad and baby need to stay here temporarily for one night. This is your room card." The director handed a room card key to Lin Cheng.

Afterwards, the director said again: "Although I really want to let the baby go to rest immediately, but I still want to delay you a little time and assign the tasks for the next week to you."

"Do you still remember what [Family Background] was drawn at the end of the last episode?" the director asked.

"The owner of the small restaurant!" Lin Momo replied with excitement in her voice.

The director nodded with a smile, and asked the staff on the side to hand over the first envelope to Lin Cheng.

The envelope contained two keys and some papers.

"These two keys are the keys of your shop and the car keys of all the vans in your family. Please keep them safe."

After all, the director handed the second envelope to Lin Cheng, and explained: "In addition, here is the working capital of 8,000 yuan and 1,000 yuan of other funds that you need to run the small restaurant for the next week, and the total is 9,000 yuan. Yuan, which can be used by father and baby at their own discretion."

"Since the occupation you have drawn this week is a small restaurant owner, there is no work restriction, so dad and baby can arrange the opening and operation time of the store by themselves, but it should be noted that all the expenses and profit and loss of the store during this period will be borne by you .”

"That's all I'm going to say, any questions, Daddy and Babe?" the director asked.

"No." Lin Cheng said.

Lin Momo also shook her head, expressing that she had figured it out.

Seeing this, the director nodded, and said the cliché again: "Then, for the next week, let's work hard, baby and dad!"

Leaving behind a few follow-up cameras, the director team withdrew to the side.

Lin Cheng took Lin Momo to their room.

—

Probably because she slept for too long during the day, at this time, when she came to the hotel room, Lin Momo was like clockwork, without any sleepiness.

Lin Cheng took the mobile phone provided by the program group and rubbed against the hotel's WiFi to check the information of their shop on the Internet, while Lin Momo took the paper and pen he got from the hotel reception and began to concentrate on writing and drawing .

Lin Cheng would glance at Lin Momo from the corner of his eye from time to time.

Just when Lin Cheng thought that Lin Momo would obediently go to sleep when he was tired from writing and drawing, he saw Lin Momo trotting towards him with a stack of papers in his hand with an excited expression on his face.

"dad."

"this is for you."

"What?" Lin Cheng asked.

"Recipe!" Lin Momo said seriously.

The previous cookbook was left at home, and this is another one she wrote from memory.

Although Lin Momo couldn't recall a few hard dishes unfortunately, Lin Momo remembered other simple home-cooked dishes.

Hearing this, Lin Cheng raised his eyebrows, and his eyes fell on the menu in front of him.

At first glance, Lin Cheng saw the dish 'Scrambled Eggs with Tomatoes' written on the top.

[Scrambled eggs with tomatoes: break three eggs into a bowl and stir well with chopsticks, add a little oil to the pan, heat the oil, add eggs, and wait until the eggs are all fried until fluffy, then add a little bit of oil to the pan. Oil, add a little minced ginger, stir-fry twice, then add tomato cubes cut into thumb size and stir-fry together, wait until you can smell the aroma of tomatoes and oil, then put in the previously fried eggs and stir-fry together, After stirring for more than 20 times, add salt...]

"Grandma Zhao Xiaobao taught me this." Lin Momo said from the side.

Lin Cheng: "..." I can see it.

Such a "colloquial" recipe is indeed very different from the recipes on the Internet.

And there are several "little bits" in a row, are you sure it's not to save money and fuel?

"Grandma Zhao Xiaobao made this dish very delicious."

"There is also this!" Lin Momo pointed to the [Green Pepper and Potato Shredded] and said to Lin Cheng: "This is Grandma Zhou's specialty."

"This is Aunt Xiao Yang's specialty..."

Lin Cheng looked down along where Lin Momo pointed.

There are also ways to fry peanuts, shoot cucumbers, and burn eggplants... below.

Next to each recipe, Lin Momo also drew a schematic diagram in great detail.

"Look, the egg just needs to be beaten like this, then stirred like this, and stirred in one direction..." Lin Momo pointed to the schematic diagram and explained to Lin Cheng with gestures.

Seeing the schematic diagram, Lin Momo drew the process of breaking eggs into a bowl and breaking them up, the corners of Lin Cheng's mouth twitched: Does this girl think she can't even beat eggs?

"And this, Grandma Li said that when cutting onions, you should bend your fingers like this, so that it is not easy to cut your hands."

"And there's more..."

Lin Momo kept talking, so that Lin Cheng who was on the side opened his mouth several times, trying to tell this girl that he could cook, but he didn't find a chance.

Lin Cheng didn't interrupt her until he saw Lin Momo yawn.

"Go to sleep." Lin Cheng said.

"Wait, there's still a little more."

"go to sleep."

"But…"

"I'll watch the next one." Lin Cheng said again.

Hearing Lin Cheng's words, Lin Momo reluctantly nodded: "If there is anything you don't understand, you can ask me."

Seeing Lin Momo's serious face, Lin Cheng secretly laughed, nodded again, and said 'OK', before finally coaxing Lin Momo to sleep.

In the room, Lin Cheng tucked the blanket for Lin Momo, and said, "Good night, sleep well."

"Well, good night, Dad."

Lin Cheng patted Lin Momo's head, then turned and walked out of the room.

After Lin Cheng went out, Lin Momo on the bed opened her eyes again, raised her hand to cover her forehead, and smiled blankly.

— This is where Lin Cheng touched her head just now, and it still feels warm.

…

Early the next morning, after a brief tidying up, the program team's car took Lin Cheng and Lin Momo to Liuming Street, where they were going to live for a week.

This is a side road next to the main road.

The back of this road is a residential area, and the front is a main road. There are some commercial buildings around it, and the flow of people is neither too much nor too little.

There are a total of more than 30 small shops on the whole street, most of which are small supermarkets, small restaurants, and small milk tea shops.

Lin Momo's shop is also among them.

—

In Lin Momo's anticipation, the program team's car drove all the way in, and finally stopped in front of a shop.

This shop is sandwiched between a small noodle shop that has been in operation for many years and a small supermarket. I can't make out what the words are. The only thing I can see is the big characters of "shop transfer" pasted next to the store door.

At this time, the store door was locked with a big lock. Since the lights inside were not turned on and the glass was covered with dust, it was impossible to see clearly the situation inside the store.

But it is entirely conceivable to imagine the depression scene inside...

Lin Momo stood beside Lin Cheng and tugged on Lin Cheng's sleeve.

"Father, is this our shop?" Lin Momo asked.

Lin Cheng glanced at the words 'Liu Ming Small Restaurant' on the door which was missing arms and legs, and then looked at the house number next to it, it was indeed No. 17.

Lin Cheng: "It's here."

Lin Momo: "..." It feels different from the small restaurant she imagined.

At this time, the audience in the live broadcast room also discussed:

【That's it? ? ? 】

[Hey, I thought Lin Cheng and his group finally didn't have to be as bad as the previous two episodes this time, I never expected it. 】

[This small restaurant should have been closed for a long time due to poor management. Are you sure Lin Cheng and Momo can reopen the restaurant? 】

[I don't like it, I feel that this issue is not as good as selling steamed buns in the previous issue. 】

[Is it true that the program team deliberately wanted to punish Lin Cheng and the others? Why is their group so miserable every time? 】Some netizens questioned that the program group operated in the dark.

At this time, in the office of the program group, the chief director looked at the live broadcast with a speechless face, shouting injustice in his heart.

— This time, he swore that he really didn't operate in the dark!

If it was a black box operation, the chief director hoped to give Lin Cheng and his group a good operation.

This place was selected from the options posted by netizens on the Internet.

Although there are many shops on Liuming Street, because it is an old street, most of the shops have been in business for more than ten or twenty years. The program team communicated and wanted a certain shop to be transferred and rented out to them as a temporary recording venue, but it was not successful. .

In the end, there was only this small restaurant that closed down automatically.

—

here.

Lin Momo looked at the small restaurant in front of her. Although it didn't match her imagination, Lin Momo didn't dislike it when she heard Lin Cheng say that it belonged to their family. She couldn't wait to take out the key and ran forward to open the door.

The key was inserted into the keyhole, and with a 'click', the lock opened—as expected, it was their shop.

Lin Cheng pushed the door open, and the father and daughter walked into the store one after the other.

The overall situation of this store is similar to what was described in the previous [Family Background] card: the whole store is not big, the inside and outside add up to less than 30 square meters, and the space on the first floor is divided into the dining area in the front and the dining area in the back. The two areas of the small kitchen are separated into two floors, the downstairs is where sundries are piled up, and the upstairs is where people live.

Because no one has cleaned it for a long time, at a glance, the whole shop is full of dust. The boxes, lunch boxes, wine bottles, and garbage that the previous owner has not cleaned up in the future are scattered all over the place. Five tables and more than 20 stools are arranged in a haphazard manner. in the store.

"The store has everything that should be there." Lin Momo said while pulling Lin Cheng.

Different from the despair of other people when they saw such a scene, Lin Momo looked at the complete set of tables, chairs and benches in the store, and began to count their assets in the store with hope.

Seeing Lin Momo rolling up his sleeves and ready to start, Lin Cheng stopped her.

"Eat something first and then clean up."

"I'm not hungry…

Before the last word was uttered, Lin Momo's stomach growled in response to the occasion.

Lin Cheng walked into the kitchen and looked around.

Compared with the dirty and messy dining area outside, the kitchen inside is much neater, and it can be used simply by tidying up and cleaning.

Lin Cheng took off his coat and rolled up his sleeves. He originally planned to clean up the kitchen first, and then go to the nearby fresh food store to buy some ingredients and come back to show his daughter.

As a result, the refrigerator was turned on, but there was no electricity, and the faucet was turned on, but there was no water.

Lin Cheng tried the gas stove again, but it didn't work.

Lin Cheng made a few phone calls before he found out that all the water, electricity and gas in this store had been shut down because of the long-term failure to pay the bills. To re-open, he needed to go to the business hall to reapply and pay the fees.

Helpless, Lin Cheng could only go to the small noodle shop next door to buy a bowl of noodles for Lin Momo.

—

It's not meal time at this time, there are not many diners in the noodle shop, and the owner of Lin Cheng's noodle shop is very enthusiastic.

"Have you made the offer for the shop next door?" While the clerk was cooking noodles, the boss chatted with Lin Cheng.

"Yeah." Lin Cheng nodded.

"What are you going to do?"

"Still open a small restaurant."

Hearing this, the boss nodded, and soon frowned again.

"The people who come to eat on our street are either nearby residents or employees of small companies nearby. They are basically old customers. If you open a new store, you may not be able to have business." The boss said sincerely .

Lin Cheng's expression remained unchanged, he just said: "Try it."

At this moment, Lin Momo, who couldn't wait for Lin Cheng, ran over.

Seeing Lin Momo beside Lin Cheng, the owner of the noodle shop raised his eyebrows and asked, "This is?"

"My daughter." Lin Cheng introduced.

Hearing Lin Cheng's introduction, Lin Momo felt a little happy, and called out to the owner of the noodle shop, "Hello, Uncle."

"Good boy," the boss smiled, then looked at Lin Cheng and said, "Your daughter looks a lot like you."

"Just this one?"

"Well, that's the only one." Lin Cheng replied.

Hearing that Lin Momo looked like him, Lin Cheng was also in a good mood.

The two chatted for a few more words.

After the noodles were cooked, the owner of the noodle shop saw that Lin Momo was cute, so he took a paper bowl and filled Lin Momo with a large bowl full of tomatoes.

Back in their own shop, Lin Cheng glanced at Lin Momo and said, "You stay in the shop, I'll pay the bill."

Just now, Lin Cheng checked on the Internet, and the place to pay for utilities is not far from this street.

"I'm with you." Lin Momo put down the bowl and chopsticks, stood up and said.

Lin Cheng glanced at the gradually rising sun outside, and rejected Lin Momo's 'peer application' without thinking.

"If you don't want to go out for a while and turn into black coal, just stay here obediently." Lin Cheng half-jokingly said to Lin Momo.

Before leaving, he told Lin Momo worriedly: "I'll be back soon, don't run around."

"Oh." Although she was unwilling, Lin Momo nodded obediently.

Before going out, Lin Cheng glanced at the small van parked in the alley next to the street that looked like it might fall apart at any moment, decisively gave up the plan to drive out, turned around and left on foot.
