Chapter 167: The Fire Tree Explodes


Su Ruotong, who was dressed in a modified Chinese costume, walked on the streets of New York and attracted the attention of countless people.

Many people even quietly raised their cameras to take pictures of Su Ruotong.

Before they went to Hao Fuqi to make steamed buns, they had to visit the stall in advance and say hello to Su Changqing and the others.

What the two of them didn't expect was that in front of the stall, in addition to the people receiving steamed buns, there were more than a dozen reporters carrying long guns and short cannons.

They were happily filming the delivery of sesame seed cakes and conducting interviews and reports.

Su Ruotong walked up and happened to hear a female reporter speaking into the microphone: "It is understood that today's traditional delicacy Shaobing from Huaxia was made by a Huaxia celebrity who was once popular on YouTube.

She previously The video of making a classic Chinese delicacy called Huoshu Yinhua was imitated by many netizens and hoped to crack it, but no one succeeded.

Someone saw this Chinese celebrity at the stall this morning, but she left quickly."

Halfway through, her photographer was suddenly stunned, staring behind the female reporter and pointing.

When the female reporter turned around, she saw Su Ruotong standing there quietly.

The female reporter's expression suddenly became incredible.

She must have done her homework before coming to this news, and she is also one of Su Ruotong's fans.

She and several friends tried to crack the fiery tree and silver flower, but failed without exception, and even exploded two ovens.

They were helpless and could only jokingly call this dish one of the mysterious dishes that cannot be cracked, and they jokingly called the fire tree explosion.

Seeing Su Ruotong's real person appeared in front of her, the female reporter said seven or eight "Oh my god" in an instant.

After finally coming back to her senses, the female reporter immediately rushed forward to interview Su Ruotong.

Not only her, but everyone from other TV stations came to their senses and gathered around Su Ruotong.

Now the street in front of Jimmy's Kitchen is almost full of people waiting to receive the sesame cakes.

There are even a few enthusiastic people who have finished receiving the sesame cakes and take the initiative to stay and help maintain order.

As for Xiaolin's Jimmy's Kitchen on Monday, which was blocked by the crowd, it was simply forgotten.

Xiao Lin stood in the room with a cold face on Monday, so angry that he was about to explode.

Not to mention new diners, even those who had reserved seats yesterday, none of them have come to Jimmy's Kitchen, which was originally bustling, and today's attendance rate is actually zero.

This is simply a shame and a disgrace His delicious food was defeated by Huaxia's humble sesame cakes Outside, after Su Ruotong was surrounded, she didn't look panicked at all.

Even if she was panicked, no other expression could be seen on her unchanged face.

She faced the many questions in front of her and the microphones that almost poked her face.

She turned around and waved to Tao Xian: "Brother Tao Xian, my English is not good, you can be my translator."

Tao Xian came over and the two stood side by side.

Su Ruotong was already beautiful enough, but when Tao Xian appeared, these reporters realized that two people with such beauty standing together were not just two beauties.

The effect was as if the screen would crack.

Su Ruotong said a sentence in Chinese, and Tao Xian translated it in authentic Upper East District English.

In an instant, the entire group of reporters fell silent.

"I have heard a lot of questions from everyone, and I would like to answer these questions with a simple speech."

Su Ruotong said.

"Some people asked me why I was asked to come forward to raise funds instead of the Chinese government.

Others asked me that these three children lived such a miserable life and could only eat sesame cakes.

It was the inaction of their parents.

Even if they donated money, in the end they were still It cannot change their situation.

As for this gentleman, he raised a very pointed question.

Charities in China are usually not transparent in their fundraising.

How do fundraisers know that the money is ultimately removed?

I will give these answers from an ancient China. ’s story begins.”

"Thousands of years ago in ancient China, there was a little emperor who succeeded to the throne at a very young age.

One year, something happened in the country.

The people couldn't eat.

They were so hungry that they gnawed tree barks and ate soil.

Some people even changed their sons to eat. , the ground was full of corpses of people who had died of starvation.

When the minister told the little emperor, who was not yet ten years old, how miserable the situation was outside and that the people had no food to eat, the little emperor said in confusion: If there is no food to eat, why not eat meat?”

As Su Ruotong revealed this ancient Chinese story, many reporters were stunned.

They didn't do much research on Chinese stories and allusions, but they also understood that Su Ruotong was already answering the first two questions.

"This is what I want to tell you.

Maybe you all think that these three children can't eat.

Why don't they go to the government?

Why don't they let their parents return home to take care of them?

Instead, they should let you and others thousands of miles away."

They were fundraising from people they had never met, I believe, either there or watching.

Most people who read this news don’t like Utopia.

In fact, there is no Utopia in this world.

What we need to understand is the reason why children can only rely on sesame cakes to satisfy their hunger.

Let me show you a series of data.

This is a picture of the hometown where they live, and the per capita income.”

With that said, Su Ruotong took out the tablet in her bag and opened the data stored inside.

These materials, which have been translated into English, as well as photos with English descriptions, are displayed in front of the camera page by page.

"Yes, as you can see, if their parents stayed in their hometown, their annual income would not even be enough to feed five people.

We conducted follow-up interviews with their parents.

In fact, after the third child After they were born, they learned from the pain and decided to go out to work and use the money they earned to give their three children the opportunity to receive an education and have enough food, so that the three of them could have the opportunity to grow up.

She will get out of this barren soil and have hope for new life.

Moreover, after leaving this place where civilization is difficult to penetrate due to geographical reasons, the mother of the child underwent contraceptive surgery, so she no longer has to be bound by the female physiological constraints of giving birth. , found a job, and realized their self-worth.

This was their neighbor ten years ago, and we also interviewed them."

Su Ruotong clicked on another folder.

I saw a boy wearing glasses and a white shirt, standing in front of a university, showing a gentle smile.

"This is their neighbor's child.

Fifteen years ago, this child's parents could not afford to buy textbooks for their children, so they left home thousands of miles away to work.

This child was only six years old at the time and was left alone at home to live his life.

It was harder than the three children now, but he finally got into college with the money his parents worked outside.

He was already I am a college student and will graduate next year.

After graduation, I can stay in the big city and no longer rely on farming.

It is the history of this neighbor's family that inspired the parents of the three brothers and sisters to leave the mountains.

I believe that this kind of thing.

This behavior, in the eyes of most of you, is unbelievable, but in China, many things will happen every minute."

"Human beings are always like this, and will produce all kinds of miracles.

Do these parents have problems?

They do, but it is not their fault.

As I described before, utopia does not exist.

Serious social problems , no matter in any era, in any country, in any society, it will always exist, especially among people.

It becomes even more severe when we try to break out of the existing quagmire.

As outsiders, what we have to do is definitely not to laugh at the dirty body of the person or group who is struggling to get out of the quagmire, but to learn from the shore in a timely manner.

Hand him a rope to lean on.

We're actually doing that."

While talking, Su Ruotong opened another folder.

Inside, there is a small courtyard with two kind old people.

In the courtyard are a dozen children, including the three brothers and sisters, playing games around the old people.

"This is our new plan, Children's Tribe.

We have hired local residents from villages where the problem of left-behind children is relatively concentrated and severe, and selected appropriate local personnel so that these children can eat hot meals every day and play together. , and have basic toys and basic common sense education for young children.”

Looking at the pictures, the children were playing with simple toys but smiling happily in the sun, and everyone couldn't help but be moved.

It turns out that Su Ruotong and the others have already reached this point.

As the pictures are turned back one by one, the appearance of these courtyards is also changing, and countless children's tribes that are obviously not from the same area or the same group of children are displayed in front of people.

Perhaps those children's tribes seemed very crude due to local conditions, but they were completely different from the lonely photo of three children holding sesame cakes on the notice in front of the sesame cake stall.

"As well as fundraising," Su Ruotong said: "Every fundraiser basically leaves personal information, and among the required fields, there is a personal email address.

All operations of our charity foundation are completely transparent, and any transaction The accounts will be publicized and can be checked everywhere.

Fundraisers will receive regular reminder emails from our foundation to remind everyone to check the accounts on the special publicity website.

Our Yumei Foundation is an internationally certified charity foundation.

There will never be any behind-the-scenes operations.”

Tao Xian was also shocked.

He had always thought that Su Ruotong only knew how to cook.

He didn't expect that what Su Ruotong was doing was far more simple than cooking.

She looks so charming like this "My questions about fundraising have basically been answered."

Su Ruotong nodded slightly: "There are still many people asking me about the fire tree and silver flower.

What I want to answer is that the fire tree and silver flower dish also originated from ancient China.

There was once an ancient song Chinese poetry talks about the traditional festival of ancient China, the Lantern Festival.

There are beautiful lanterns hanging everywhere and fireworks and firecrackers being set off everywhere, but he is looking for the lover who will always be in his heart.

Finally, the poet said: Looking back suddenly, that person is also me in the dim light.

What I want to say is that I hope that love and kindness in this world will last forever, and you can see it when you look back."

Su Ruotong knew when there was a burst of thunderous applause that people had accepted her statement, and Tao Xian's translation must have added points to her speech.

She looked around like a queen and said: "This donation will last for eight days.

Tomorrow, we will deliver the second Chinese delicacy, steamed buns."

In the window, Xiao Lin, who kept looking out with a sullen expression, violently kicked over the small side table with decorations in front of him.

These people wanted to stay in front of his door for eight days because they forced him to be rude:
