The vegetable-picking team returned quickly. The men were quite conscientious; they washed the vegetables outside, so they weren't completely clean, but at least they weren't brought over covered in mud and dirt.

"Just leave it there. You can go outside and rest for a bit." Le Yao was already quite satisfied. "It'll be ready in a little while."

Several people didn't leave; they just stood there watching.

Le Yao made braised pork first, because it needed to be stewed to absorb the flavor, which took a while.

Then I turned on another stove, poured in vegetable oil and heated it up, and started frying the oil pastry. After it was done, I quickly made the kneaded dough into oil pastry flatbreads and put them in the oven.

Then add oil and heat it up again, and start stir-frying the vegetables one by one.

Twice-cooked pork, spicy stir-fried cabbage, radish and vermicelli casserole, Mapo tofu...

One dish after another was served out.

Zheng Ruyu originally wanted to attract attention, but unexpectedly, all eyes were drawn to Le Yao instead. She felt very unhappy, and her bad mood directly led to her less-than-stellar cooking skills going awry.

Fat Bean wasn't affected at all. In fact, after making a dish of tiger-skin green peppers, he immediately ran over to help Le Yao. He couldn't help it; the food smelled so good that he suddenly felt like he was cooking pig swill.

Anyway, she wasn't good at cooking, so there was nothing shameful about it.

"What did you say?" Bai Su suddenly twitched her nose.

Everyone turned around in a flash.

Zheng Ruyu almost cried. Her shredded potatoes were burnt because she had been distracted.

"It's alright, it's alright, there are still potatoes, we can have more." Zhang Daguo smiled.

Zheng Ruyu glanced gratefully at Zhang Daguo, then picked up the potato and started slicing it again. However, because she was in a bad mood, she cut her finger after only two slices, and blood gushed out immediately.

"He's bleeding! Get the first-aid kit right away..." Zhang Daguo shouted.

Immediately, a doctor from the production team came over and gave Zheng Ruyu emergency treatment, instructing her not to get her wet for the time being.

“But I haven’t finished cooking yet…” Zheng Ruyu pouted, looking aggrieved and worried.

Le Yao didn't respond and continued with her own work.

"Alright, you're all injured, so don't worry about the food." Zhang Daguo frowned. "Someone will take care of it."

"Oh," Zheng Ruyu nodded hurriedly.

"Le Yao, I'm afraid we'll have to trouble you with this." Zhang Daguo looked at Le Yao, "Look..."

"No problem." Le Yao nodded with a smile, then went over and got the ingredients.

I glanced at the eggplant steaming in the pot, then started slicing potatoes into shreds. After a few quick, slicing sounds, a plate of potato shreds that were almost indistinguishable to the naked eye was placed on the cutting board.

Zhang Daguo couldn't help but nod in agreement. He had to admit defeat in terms of knife skills. This girl was truly extraordinary. It seemed there was a reason for her popularity.

Zheng Ruyu, standing beside her, lowered her eyes, concealing the resentment and anger in them. If it weren't for this woman, she would have been the one in the limelight. It's all that damned woman's fault. Why doesn't she just die?

At this moment, the production team couldn't resist coming in.

"I could smell the aroma from outside," Director Cao sniffed. "What are they making?"

"We have everything, but unfortunately, there's nothing for you." Su Jun quickly stopped Director Cao, "You can just keep drooling."

"You're not being fair," Director Cao said, amused. "Aren't you afraid I'll deliberately make things difficult for you later?"
