GBP Chapter 346 Grandma
Chapter 346 Grandma
Yu Yu thought that he would see his grandmother one day during this trip, not necessarily in Sicily, his grandmother's hometown, because after arriving in Rome they would go directly north and enter France from Switzerland, and would not go south.
He thought about Milan and Turin, but he never imagined that the decisive mafia godmother would choose to pack him up and bring him to her on the first day they landed in Italy.
"Grandma missed her grandson, so your thoughtful adopted son's solution to her problem was to steal a car and lure us here? What if we didn't go to the police and instead found another way to purchase equipment locally?"
Leta Noravinic has an extraordinary status in the gang. She no longer needs to worry about trivial matters. She only needs to occasionally express her own ideas, or complain or express her feelings a few words during a chat, and naturally someone will help her achieve her wish.
"Then I have other preparations, which may not be very friendly. Fortunately, you took the bait right away, otherwise I would have to worry about what to do next." At this point, Esposito didn't want to act anymore. He grinned at Yu Yu, looking harmless like an honest and friendly gentleman.
Yu Yu rolled his eyes. "You're my grandmother's adopted son, so I have to call you uncle. I've missed you so much after not seeing you for so long. I'll break some pasta and make you a bowl of noodles. I'll also top your pizza with pineapples and make your espresso with ice and water to make an iced Americano."
Esposito was stunned for a moment, then feigned anger: "If you really dare to do this, I guarantee you won't be able to leave the kitchen alive!"
The three biggest pitfalls for Chinese pizza lovers: breaking pasta while cooking, putting unidentified fruits on pizza, and concentrated pizza with water added!
"Hey, why don't you call him Young Master anymore?" Yu Yu teased him and ignored him. Instead, he looked at Su Xing and Dalin in the back seat.
"You can be as casual as you want. Don't worry. Don't be fooled by this guy pretending to be a gentleman. He's just a rough guy. He'll be exposed soon."
"Besides, Dalin, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Think about it, how could any other production crew in China possibly get the chance to see the real Italian Mafia? So don't be shy. They're not really that arrogant. Just take out your phone and film openly. What's the point of taking sneak shots?"
Dalin was speechless: "When did I take a secret photo?"
He pulled his phone out of his bag to prove he had been acting honestly. What a joke! Who would dare secretly film something in a Mafia high-ranking official's car? What if they accidentally took a picture they shouldn't have and were silenced?
"So you really didn't take any pictures?" Yu Yu said that just to trick Dalin and see if he would seize the opportunity. Who would have thought that this guy was lawless when he and Zhao Hao were exploiting them brothers, but now he is so honest.
Yu Yu thought about it and understood his concerns. He borrowed a selfie stick from Su Xing and planned to take the photo himself.
Esposito was a little unsure about Yu Yu's true emotions and thoughts. In his eyes, although Yu Yu did not want to be the heir to the Duke, under the old Duke's almost harsh and perverted elite education, and the situation where he was expected to be plotted against as a common occurrence during his childhood, this child actually learned all the bad habits of the Alaric family, which were to keep silent about their emotions and be deep-minded.
Under normal circumstances, he should have been angry because he was set up, which not only delayed the filming of the program and slowed down everyone's progress, but also implicated his friends who he treated as brothers. However, he now looks like nothing happened.
This brat is still as unlovable as before.
Yu Yu didn't pay attention to what Esposito was thinking. He began to discuss with Su Xingdalin. Since their filming plan was interrupted, Yu Yu suggested that they take advantage of the situation and change the opening.
The theft of the equipment truck was used as the entry point, and the subsequent material of Yu Yu arriving and meeting up and heading to the police station was retained, but the incident of encountering Esposito had to be changed. Yu Yu did not want the audience to know that he was actually a gangster prince and cause unnecessary trouble.
Dalin knew that if Yu Yu's identity was exposed, the ratings of their variety show would definitely skyrocket, but out of protection for Yu Yu herself, Dalin agreed to the "beautification" request.
In fact, it is precisely because the director team of Kuaifa has always respected the opinions of the seven people who were rehired, and regarded them as the main creative planners of the program and let them participate in the formulation of the program content, so their state when filming Kuaifa is different from any other variety show. This is also one of the important reasons why Kuaifa became popular.
In their beautified version, the three people who were waiting for news at the police station accidentally met Esposito who went to the police station to bail out his men. The other party heard that they were a variety show team from China, but their equipment vehicle was stolen on the first day of filming. Out of respect for the image of his hometown, he immediately decided that if they couldn't wait for the result from the police station, he would be willing to help them get the equipment vehicle back.
"Excuse me for a moment, why should I cooperate with you to shoot these?" Esposito raised his hand to interrupt the three people when they briefly introduced the adapted plot to him.
"Don't you care about the external image of your hometown?" Su Xing asked back.
"Well, of course I care."
"That's all, come on, continue." Yu Yu patted his shoulder. Before Esposito could figure out why he had to cooperate with the filming just because he cared about his hometown, he heard the three of them continuing to talk one after another.
They tentatively asked the other party if he minded the program crew recording some of the real situation of the mafia in today's society. Unexpectedly, Esposito was a very enthusiastic and broad-minded person. He invited them to his house for dinner and wait for the stolen equipment truck to be returned.
Yu Yu has already thought of the title for this issue: "Is it the distortion of human nature or the decline of morality? Follow us as we get closer to the Italian Mafia."
"You know, MAMA likes to knit a long scarf every winter. How long is that scarf? It's as long as the title you casually mentioned." Esposito complained.
Passing the crowded traffic and gradually driving towards the suburbs, the ancient city with a history of human civilization gradually faded away behind everyone. Leaving the hustle and bustle, the road in the suburbs seemed particularly deserted.
Esposito brought a few people to a small town, which was only about 20 kilometers away from Rome. Rather than a small town, it was more like a farm where rich people went on vacation in the suburbs.
The sports car was parked in a small square parking lot outside the town. The four of them waited in the square while looking at the countryside scenery. A moment later, Wang Zhengliang also drove over with the remaining brothers and Zhao Hao.
After getting off the car, they came to Yu Yu with strange expressions and winked at him.
The two groups of people had just held a conference call in the car, so they all knew that the first episode of this extra episode had changed from the first encounter with Italy to the first encounter with the Italian Mafia.
Of course, the specific shooting ideas still need to seek the opinions of the Nora Vinic gang. This is the job of the director team, and they, the resident guests, have no say in it.
"Are you okay?" Chen Fusheng asked with concern when he saw Yu Yu.
"It's okay, nothing will happen." Yu Yu shook his head.
"Yu Yu, actually we all know how this show came about, so don't think too much about it." Lu Hu stepped forward and held Yu Yu's hands.
Yu Yu was slightly stunned and subconsciously retorted: "Thinking too much? What can I think about..."
"For example, it will delay the shooting progress and implicate a few of us. Well, I'm just giving an example. Maybe our Yu Yu won't dwell on it." Lu Hu smiled and teased him deliberately.
"...Why did you suddenly have such an idea?" Yu Yu was talking, and then he looked at Su Xing again. Su Xing had been with him the whole time, and he was so sharp and intelligent, and he had known Yu Yu for so long, so of course he could see something.
Su Xing spread his hands and shrugged: "Don't look at me, that group of six people except you was led by Hu Zi. They usually say more bad things about you than me."
"Yuyu, let me tell you, just now in that group, it was this person who said that when you smiled too brightly, you were plotting something evil and someone would be in trouble." Zhang Yuan ruthlessly exposed Su Xing's lie.
"Were you thinking of asking us to turn back to the hotel?" As the big brother, Wang Zhengliang directly guessed Yu Yu's previous inner thoughts.
When they knew that their destination was their grandmother's house, for a moment, Yu Yu, who didn't want to implicate others, wanted the other team to turn back immediately and find an excuse to let Su Xing and Dalin leave.
but--
"You're dreaming. When we all know what you're going to face, we won't leave even if you want us to," said Wang Yuexin.
Yes, because he knew and trusted them too well, Yu Yu knew that once they decided to get in the car and go with him, they would not look back.
The brothers who had previously threatened to teach him a lesson on Green Bubble couldn't help but care about his condition when they actually saw him. Yu Yu laughed a little, but was also a little moved.
Esposito, who was pretending to communicate with the director team, saw from the corner of his eye that Yu Yu seemed to be in a good mood and was coaxed by his good brothers. He immediately ended the topic and said that if the producer and director had any needs, they would contact their person in charge later. Then he waved to the seven people, indicating that they should follow him forward.
"Go and have a look. Maybe your grandma has already prepared several meters long scarves for you to take back." Su Xing waved at Yu Yu and let him, who was half the owner, walk in front.
"Don't worry, if grandma really prepared scarves, according to her personality, each of you will have one." Yu Yu said.
Esposito brought everyone to a house in the center of the town. The house was no different from the small detached houses commonly seen in Italian villages. There were many flowers in the flower bed at the door, but it was not yet the season for the flowers to bloom.
They didn't go through the main gate. Esposito led them directly to the backyard through a side path. There was a large oven in the backyard. A short, silver-haired old lady wearing an apron was busy in front of the oven. When she saw everyone coming, she didn't wait for Esposito to say hello and immediately started cursing in Italian:
"Percy, you little bastard, you've been out there all day hanging out with a bunch of bad people and you've become a bad person. I asked you to bring my grandson back, but you did it all day. Did you bring the eggs that our neighbor Aunt Angie asked you to bring? I saw you had nothing in your hands, so I knew that the bag of eggs must have hit you on the head, right?"
"Why don't you just come over and help? What are you doing standing there? You're out fooling around every day, and when you come back you don't even bother helping with the housework... Look at how shaky your hands are! My dad would be steadier than you if he crawled out of his grave. Don't burn my pizza."
"Forget it, forget it. Go to the kitchen and see if the food in the oven is ready."
The old lady scolded Esposito when she saw him, and when she asked him to help, she thought he was clumsy and could only drive him back into the house with disgust. Esposito smiled and gave the others a look that said "you're on your own" and quickly slipped into the house without them knowing what was going on.
The next second, the seven Lao Beibeis and the two directors knew what his look meant.
"You, the young man with glasses, you look like you have very steady hands, come here and help me bake pizza." The old man looked up and shouted directly in English.
"Uh, Brother Liang, they're calling you." Su Xing bumped Wang Zhengliang's arm. "Grandma asked you to help her bake pizza."
Wang Zhengliang was confused: "Me? I can bake pizza?"
The old lady was impatient. Seeing that Wang Zhengliang was still standing there without moving, she walked straight up and pulled him to the fire.
"Okay, okay, what should I do? Hold this? Move it slowly? Oh, it should be heated evenly, right..." Wang Zhengliang didn't understand but did as he was told.
"What a good young man, much more stable than that Percy." The old man muttered a few words of praise in Italian, then waved to Chen Tansheng to assign him a task.
Chen Fusheng didn't understand but walked over obediently. The old lady gave him a basket of boiled tomatoes and asked him to peel the tomato skins, which was also a delicate job that required patience.
Next, no one could escape. Su Xing was thrown a lump of dough and asked to divide it into small balls. In front of Zhang Yuan was a pile of cucumbers and carrots waiting to be peeled. In front of Lu Hu was a basket of vegetables. Wang Yuexin had to chop the meat into minced meat. Zhao Hao was called in to wash the dishes. Dalin had to go to the kitchen and keep an eye on the soup stewing on the stove.
As for Yu Yu, grandma took his hand with a smile, and the deep wrinkles on her face hid the kindness of an elder looking at a younger generation. She pulled him into the room and said she wanted him to help get something.
