Chapter 208 Give me two to try

After the ribbon-cutting ceremony, Qian Runqiu noticed that there weren't many people in the supermarket, and he had originally wanted to help Yan Sui find more people.

But before they could even act, the subsequent grand spectacle unfolded, and they realized their ideas were somewhat superfluous.

"Yan Sui, you should consider opening a branch now."

Yan Sui smiled and nodded upon hearing this.

"With Ms. Lin taking care of it, I won't worry about this."

Lin Chunyi is already looking for people and places to work; she only needs to focus on the farm.

After all, farms are the backbone of supermarkets.

“It’s still early. I know a really good private restaurant nearby. Let’s eat there before we go back,” Qian Runqiu suggested.

Yan Sui had also wanted to, but there were still things to arrange in the village, so she had to rush back.

"Otherwise, I can take you all to dinner, and I'll arrange another car to pick you up afterward."

Qian Runqiu then said, "Let's do it next time."

Her original intention was to have a meal with Yan Sui.

Yan Sui then drove them back to Changqing Village.

After lunch and a short rest, it was time for the work segment arranged by the production team.

Several pairs of guests need to help husk corn; the more corn they husk, the more points they accumulate.

The ingredients needed for dinner must be redeemed using points.

Yan Mo was inwardly groaning; she was already considering quitting the show.

Especially when she looked at the endless cornfields, she felt even more desperate.

"Are we supposed to collect all of these?"

Xiao Jie explained with a smile, "Of course not, just do what you can."

Yan Mo narrowed her eyes, "These aren't all Yan Sui's corn, are they?"

"Yes, this entire area, as far as the eye can see, belongs to Changqing Farm."

The crew's breakfast today was freshly picked corn from here. It tasted sweet and delicious, and she still remembers it fondly.

Even the eggs are laid by free-range chickens from the orchard, and they taste better than those from factory-farmed chickens.

"Miss Yan Mo, you all need to work harder. You need to break off at least 200 jin (100 kg) and have 20 points to be eligible to exchange for ingredients."

[Who understands? Yan Mo's world is collapsing.]

[Who would believe I'm eating Yan Sui's corn right now!]

I'm so envious! I just browsed around the supermarket and managed to snag a bag of vegetables.

You guys were lucky; it was already closed when I got there.

You guys are really ruthless! You didn't leave me a single ear of corn, not even a single vegetable leaf.

I also want to work in Changqing Village. I don't need money, just two ears of corn will do.

I don't want two ears of corn, one is fine with me!

[Market disruption is prohibited!]

Yan Mo said angrily, "We're here to participate in the show, why should we work for Yan Sui!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a voice came from the side: "Honey, picking corn is too hard. You can rest on the shore for a while, and I'll do the work."

The man who spoke was named Shao Chen, and he was about the same age as Yan Mo.

His wife, Ji Ning, is over forty years old. When their relationship, which involved an older woman and a younger man, was revealed, it even became a trending topic.

Shao Chen entered the entertainment industry through Ji Ning's connections, debuting as the male lead, but his roles in several dramas remained lukewarm.

I went on this show to establish a persona and become known to the public.

Ji Ning pouted and said angrily, "How can that be? We should share both joy and sorrow."

Shao Chen hugged her and coaxed, "But I can't bear to see you work. You're working so hard, it breaks my heart."

Ji Ning reluctantly agreed, "Alright then."

Their conversation successfully earned them an eye roll from Yan Mo.

After rolling her eyes, Yan Mo turned to glare at Fu Qingci.

But Fu Qingci was absent-minded and lost in thought, completely ignoring her gaze.

Yan Mo was holding back a lot of anger, which she channeled into her energy, and vented it all on the corn.

Wearing the hat and sleeves provided by the production team, she used the corn as her head, gritted her teeth and twisted it off, soon gathering a whole basketful.

[Wow, Yan Mo is amazing!]

Putting everything else aside, she truly rose from an unknown nobody with no connections to where she is today.

But watching her husk corn made me feel uneasy.

Yan Mo's strained movements resembled twisting someone's neck, but she was indeed very diligent.

Especially compared to the other three couples, she was far ahead.

Lin Mu had never done farm work since he was a child, so he just lazed around in the shade like a king.

Shao Chen had just given the order not to let Ji Ning take any action, so Ji Ning didn't go down.

But she clutched her heart, scrolling through videos while muttering that she felt sorry for Shao Chen.

Another couple is a golden wedding anniversary couple, both over seventy years old, who are still active in various film and television dramas.

They were in good health, and although they were not fast, they were methodical.

Fu Qingci was even less of a concern; he had other things on his mind and had no intention of working at all.

Yan Mo never expected that after just one afternoon of work, she would gain over 100,000 followers.

When she stepped on the scale, she had picked the most corn.

With a wave of her hand, she exchanged all her points for corn!

Fu Qingci hesitated and said, "We're just having corn for dinner? There's no oil or fat in it. Will that be enough to fill us up?"

Yan Mo glared at him, "You didn't do anything, and you still want to eat? I picked the corn myself, so I want to eat corn! Replace all the corn with corn!"

She not only wanted to eat the corn, but she also wanted to keep it all for herself; Fu Qingci shouldn't even think about taking advantage of her.

Fu Qingci felt ashamed and didn't argue with her.

Unexpectedly, Yan Mo kept her word and didn't give him a single ear of corn, just letting him sit aside and watch.

Yan Mo doesn't actually like corn; she's just being stubborn.

She redeemed all her points for twenty ears of corn, and cooked two for herself first.

Steam rose from the pot, accompanied by the aroma of corn.

It was already dark, and everyone was starving. The aroma made their mouths water.

"What smells so good?" Lin Mu and his wife weren't doing any work; they were just waiting to go over to the other guests' places for a free meal.

Meals take time to cook, but corn is different; it cooks instantly when steamed.

"This corn smells so good." Even Ji Ning couldn't help but be drawn in.

Shao Chen worked all afternoon and his skin turned a different color from the sun.

Having barely earned a few points, and with cooking dinner to do that evening, the smile on my face began to fade.

Lin Mu walked over to Yan Mo first, "You have so much corn, give me two to try."

Yan Mo: "You wish!"

Fu Qingci clicked her tongue, displeased, and said, "Can't you watch your mouth?"

The live stream is off, but the camera is still pointed at you.

Yan Mo snorted coldly, "I've already been very careful by not hitting you."

She worked hard all day to earn this bag of corn, and now it's time for her to protect it.

She wouldn't even give it to Fu Qingci, let alone Lin Mu.

Lin Mu said impatiently, "I paid to buy it from you, we're friends, what's wrong with sharing an ear of corn with me?"

Ji Ning chimed in, "Yeah, Teacher Yan, give me two too. I'll trade you my points for them."

Fu Qingci didn't like arguing with people; it was just a few ears of corn.

"No points or money required, it's just corn, let's all eat together, no need to be shy."

He had just reached out when Yan Mo slapped him across the face.

After working all afternoon, she was radiating irritability.

"You think I'm being too kind? You've been lying around like a paralyzed person all afternoon, your limbs are practically atrophied! It's just corn, if you're so capable, earn it yourself! Using my corn as a favor, you have some nerve! I won't give you a single ear!"
