Tea with Father Lord

 

How to be like Dong Hua lessons

Why do you think Dong Hua gives more cakes to Feng Jiu than Gun Gun?

1) he learnt his lesson from the saha fruit theft.

2) he favors Xiao Bai

Bakkwa

It was Chinese New Year and Taichen Palace was giving off delicious aromas. One in particular drew crowds of immortals to the gates. It was the sweet smell of succulent meat strips being roasted over fire in the garden.

Feng Jiu stacked them on a plate and told her husband to leave those for Gun Gun while she went to check on the cakes steaming in the kitchen. 

Feng Jiu: watch the fire for me.

It made a funny sight to see Dong Hua squatting and fanning the flames.

Gun Gun came over and saw his father in such a manner. “Father, are you making Bakkwa?”

Dong Hua: yes, come try the Bakkwa I cooked for you.

(Please. If Dong Hua tried to roast Bakkwa, it would be charcoal)

Gun Gun: your Bakkwa is as good as mother’s!

Dong Hua: oh. My cooking must have improved.

Gun Gun: father, let me warm the meat some more. Then we can eat it together.

The Bakkwa had indeed cooled down.

When Feng Jiu came back (she was delayed by servants bearing gifts), she saw her son taking Bakkwa off the fire and giving them to his father to try.

Feng Jiu: is my darling boy learning to cook?

Gun Gun smiled and lied as easily as his father does. “Yes, mother. I hope it meets your expectations.”

Dong Hua raised his brows. Did Gun Gun just claim credit for his stolen credit?

Feng Jiu chewed then pet her son’s head. “You have inherited my culinary genes!”

I feel like the books would encourage 3L3W enthusiasts to take up Mandarin lessons when they can. 😅 Learning to read and understand another language is never a waste anyway

I haven’t had Chinese language lessons since I entered university. At that time I was so relieved because it was a struggle to do well. Actually I’m still surprised I did well on my exams. But then I got hooked on 三生三世 and suddenly regretted that I didn’t have the passion to learn Chinese then as I do now.

why couldn’t 三生三世 have occured while I was actually still studying Chinese?

now I’m just watching more Chinese dramas.

Also hopeful of that happening in the future. 🙂 It would be wonderful having the Pillow Book 1 and 2 and the extra as a bundle for collection.

 

Thanks to the translated text of Hamster, et al, The Pillow Book story was also enjoyed by non-Mandarin readers. It's amazing of TQ to give the surprise of another extra book about Dong Hua and Feng Jiu. ♥️🦊💜

Actually...I admit I am hoping someone will translate the new Pillow Book. But considering how long Lotus Step has taken, I don’t have high hopes I can read it soon. So I will settle for the summary.

i can try reading it, but it’s one thing to understand the story of a modern drama like V Love; and quite another to read Chinese set in an ancient mythical world. Especially when all I’ve read before were picture books...

As for it getting translated to English,  unfortunately no idea on that. Personally I'm hoping too that Ms TQ and her publishing house will consider it for the international  readers, seeing that there's an English phrase included in the jacket cover.

If that's the case, Pillow Book 1 and 2 should be translated too!

Congratulations once again to all who have been part of Eternal Love of Dreams (Three Lives Three Worlds The Pillow Book 三生三世枕上书)! 

 

Web Drama of the Year

Tencent Video All Star Night 2020

 

 

Yay. We finally see the award. I selfishly wish we could see Vengo and Reba's reactions.

About the Chinese stars having nicknames for their fans, I am not sure. But for me it is not unusual, like the "Robsten" fans when the Twilight franchise was the rage. 

Robsten? Never heard that before. But then i was more interested in the books than the films.

I don't know too, or if I've read it, I don't remember, but it may have to do with Vengo's nickname Tiantian.

 

For sure though that @VengogaoFC and

@VengoGaoIFG can tell why "donuts". 

I just asked. Apparently Vengo has a sweet smile so his nickname is tian tian. So his fans are called doughnuts....

 Do all Chinese celebrities have nicknames for their fans?

Correct me if I am wrong, but Dilireba's fans are called Alice, and Vengo's fans are called...donuts? How did that happen?

Nice artwork.

BTW, did Vengo win the Best Actor award?

Hello, does anyone know where I can episode summaries or recaps for V Love? I got the CDs but it has no english subtitles. It's fine about that. But i need to know the outline of the story because my Chinese is not that good and I won't be able to follow the storyline.
