Chapter 252 - 252: A Bunch of Dummies
Zhao Yingnan was surprised.
“You guys… Did you fight with the villagers at the foot of the mountain?”
Shu Ling’s thoughts were led astray.
“They even beat up cats and dogs?”
Their words made people not know where to start complaining.
“Let’s talk about it later.”
Tang Zinian was the first to rush to the sink in the courtyard and wash his face.
Song Qingyou and the other two followed him.
Only Xu Xingzhou still had the time to ‘answer questions’.
“They seem to have fallen into the field. Haha must have knocked them over.”
“Are you hurt?” Zhao Yingnan was surprised.
“I’m not injured.” Tang Zinian paused. “Teacher Jiang might be a little.”
“Was Teacher Jiang hit by Haha first?”
“More than that?” Tang Zinian covered his mouth to stifle his laughter. “Before
Teacher Jiang was hit by a dog, he was hit by a pig.”
“So unlucky?” Shu Ling blurted out.
Jiang Xuyan shook off the water on his hands. “If 1 had known earlier, 1 would have checked the almanac when I went out today.”
Before he could finish his sentence, his hands, which had just been washed clean, were rubbed with a lot of mud by Haha.
“Haha! Look at what you’ve done!”
Jiang Xuyan was so angry that he wanted to beat the dog.
Luckily, Yu Muhuai stopped him. “We might have to bathe Haha first before we bathe ourselves.”
Jiang Xuyan sighed, resigned to his fate. “Then later, I’ll have to trouble Xiao Yu and Zinian to help me out. Haha, he’s especially naughty when he’s showering.
1 need a few people to hold him down.”
“Of course you have to shower.” Shu Ling said, “But what are we having for lunch? You guys… You didn’t bring anything back, did you?”
“The tea leaves that Lingling and I picked are not even enough for one catty. We might not be able to exchange them for anything…” Zhao Yingnan said.
“We’ll go to the program team and ask for credit!” Song Qingyou decided.
“Sure.” Yu Muhuai nodded in agreement.
The others had no objections.
“What do you want to eat?” Song Qingyou smiled. “At noon, you guys are in charge of processing the ingredients. I’ll cook.”
“We have seven days,” Shu Ling agreed. “Except when the guests come, we can actually take turns cooking.”
“Then I-”
“Teacher Jiang doesn’t count.” Yu Muhuai stopped Jiang Xuyan just as he opened his mouth.
Zhao Yingnan echoed, “For the sake of the guest’s praise, no matter what, we can’t let Teacher Jiang enter the kitchen.”
After all, the production team had said that as long as the customer gave a five-star rating, they could get a 30% discount on the goods they exchanged on the same day.
In other words, one catty of tea leaves for one catty of meat would become seven taels of tea leaves for one catty of meat.
The two of them echoed each other and received the approval of the others.
Jiang Xuyan curled his lips, sniffed, and then squatted in a corner to draw circles.
Tang Zinian raised his hand. “1 don’t know how to cook either, but 1 really want to learn. It shouldn’t be a problem, right?”
“One chance.” Song Qingyou raised a finger.
“Like what Teacher Jiang had on the island?” Tang Zinian asked.
It was obvious that he had watched man vs Wild 3 in its entirety.
“Yes.”
“You haven’t said anything yet. What do you want to eat for lunch?”
“Red braised pork, I want to eat red braised pork.” Tang Zinian ordered the dishes very enthusiastically.
When the others looked over, he blinked and said, “Sister Yan hasn’t let me eat a big piece of meat for a long time. I’m so hungry.”
Shu Ling pursed her lips. “I’ve been on a diet recently. 1 don’t really feel like eating meat. I want to eat vegetables. What about Yingnan?”
“Me?” Zhao Yingnan smiled. “Anything is fine. I’m not a picky eater.”
“Braised pork and vegetables should be enough, right?” Xingzhou, Xiao Yu, what do you think?”
Xu Xingzhou naturally had no objections.
Yu Muhuai also said, “After all, it’s on credit from the production team. It’s better not to be too ‘presumptuous’.”
Although that was the case, it was still too shabby for seven people to eat two dishes.
Therefore, under Song Qingyou’s suggestion, they asked for more food from the production team.
The work of choosing and washing vegetables was handed over to Zhao Yingnan and Shu Ling.
Jiang Xuyan and the others stopped Haha and wanted to wash it clean.
Song Qingyou didn’t join in and focused on washing her cat.
When it was time to cook, in order to prevent Haha from running into the kitchen, other than Xu Xingzhou who was adding firewood and helping out, everyone else stayed outside.
Song Qingyou cooked very quickly, her actions neat and orderly.
After frying the pork belly, she immediately stir-fried the sugar color. Then, when the meat was stewed, she began to cook other dishes.
Jiang Zhihan sat on a stool in the kitchen and looked at them with a focused expression.
Only when the sweat on Song Qingyou’s forehead slid down her fair neck did he lower his head.
At around 12 o’clock, four dishes were laid out on the small table in the courtyard.
The sparkling red braised pork was comparable to amber, the bright red boiled fish, the shredded chicken breast for Shu Ling and Zhao Yingnan, and the refreshing cabbage.
No matter which dish it was, it looked very tempting.
“I knew it!” Jiang Xuyan glanced at the dining table, and his expression was as if he had expected everything.
“When Qingyou was surviving in the wilderness on the island, she could already make food that made us drool. Now that we have the conditions, she can definitely make better food!”
Everyone complimented her, and when it was time to eat, no one said anything.
The production team looked at this group of people who were just doing nothing and could not help but remind them to chat.
Jiang Xuyan coughed twice. “The director wants you to say something. Hurry up and say something.”
Shu Ling: “The chicken breast meat isn’t dry at all. Boss, can 1 marry you?”
“You’re asking the wrong question.” Tang Zinian looked up. “Sister Ling, you should be asking if we can all marry Sister Qingyou.”
“You can’t.” Song Qingyou said without hesitation, “Compared to you guys, I’d rather raise my cat. At least he doesn’t eat much.”
Shu Ling was speechless.
Tang Zinian was speechless.
“Pfft.” Jiang Xuyan laughed out loud. “Shu Ling, you said you wanted to lose weight. Look at how many bowls you’ve eaten now?”
“And you, Tang Zinian. Your manager told you to control your diet. You won’t go back after gaining weight, will you?”
Of the two people who were mentioned, one of them tried his best to eat while the other picked up another piece of braised pork with his chopsticks.
“I don’t want to hear it, i don’t want to hear it.” Tang Zinian’s mouth was stuffed with meat and rice. “The director already said that we’re here for a vacation this episode. How can we go on a diet when we’re on vacation?”
“Lil Tang is right.”
In less than half an hour, the stainless steel basin on the dining table was empty.
Even the spicy boiled fish was eaten clean by them.
The work of cleaning up the mess and washing the dishes was taken over by Tang Zinian and Shu Ling.
A group of people sat under the wooden shed in the courtyard, blowing the fan and looking at the picturesque scenery around them. It was a rare feeling of tranquility.
“I’ve never felt that summer was so wonderful.” Jiang Xuyan sat on the chair, his face full of satisfaction.
“Brother Jiang doesn’t like summer?” Song Qingyou asked.
“Because it’s too hot. You can put on more clothes when it’s cold in winter, but you can’t peel off your skin when it’s too hot in summer.”
Jiang Xuyan said enviously, “The summer here isn’t too hot. It’s quite comfortable to just sit here.”
Xu Xingzhou: “Then it won’t be comfortable until later. We still have to plant the rice seedlings.”
“All-” Jiang Xuyan looked up at the roof. “Don’t remind me!”
Everyone laughed..
