After Qin Yuanyao and Chi Naozi entered the farmhouse where Ye Rui and the others were staying, Qin Yuanyao didn't go any further inside. Instead, she stood in the courtyard and called out, "Teacher Ye? Teacher Ye?"
Ye Rui and the others had just finished eating. Hearing someone call her, she, Guo Zhuyan, and Guo Yicong came out from the back kitchen.
Ye Rui was quite surprised to see Qin Yuanyao and Chi Naozi.
"Hey? Xiao Yao, cheese."
"Teacher Ye, Cheese caught some crabs in the mountain stream this morning. I made some spicy crab, and there were a lot, so I brought some over for you to try," Qin Yuanyao said.
"I can't accept this," Ye Rui said, feeling quite embarrassed. "We've already finished eating."
"Spicy crab is perfect as an afternoon snack," Qin Yuanyao said.
Ye Rui then replied, "Thank you so much. And thank you to our cheese for being so good at catching crabs."
Chi Naozi scooped up her fair, tender arms, which were like lotus roots, and made a crab-catching gesture. "Because I'm a crab-catching expert!"
Everyone was amused by her adorable appearance.
Guo Yicong looked at her, and even his usually cool face couldn't help but smile.
After delivering the spicy crab, Qin Yuanyao and Chi Naozhi went back.
Xu Miaotong took a chair and sat in front of the house, pretending to enjoy the breeze and scenery, but in reality, she kept an eye on the direction where Qin Yuanyao and the others disappeared.
It wasn't until Qin Yuanyao and Chi Naozi came out of Ye Rui's place that the bowl of crabs they were carrying was gone that Xu Miaotong realized that Qin Yuanyao had given the bowl of crabs to Ye Rui and the others.
Did Qin Yuanyao only give crabs to Ye Rui and her family, or did all the other guests except for Xu Miaotong's family receive crabs?
Xu Miaotong pretended to go to the toilet, took her phone to the bathroom, but actually silenced her phone and squatted in Qin Yuanyao's live stream to watch everyone's comments.
She quickly learned from the comments that Qin Yuanyao had only given Ye Rui and the others crabs.
She felt that the analysis in the comments was correct; Qin Yuanyao must want to use Ye Rui and her group's resources, which was why she only tried to please Ye Rui and her group.
The rude, arrogant woman she encountered in the small commodities street last time must be Qin Yuanyao's new agent.
That woman must be incompetent, so Qin Yuanyao will have to go and curry favor with Ye Rui to get resources.
That's true. With Qin Yuanyao's abilities, what good companies or agents could she possibly find?
Xu Miaotong gave a sarcastic twitch, then suddenly thought of a scheme.
After she came out of the restroom, she went straight to find Director Jiang.
"Director Jiang," Xu Miaotong said softly, "I want to make purple sweet potato balls. Do you have glutinous rice flour, sugar, purple sweet potatoes, and bean flour?"
"Yes, I do." Director Jiang gave a sly smile. "How many do you want?"
Xu Miaotong replied without hesitation, "Twenty purple sweet potatoes, two bags of glutinous rice flour, two bags of white sugar, and one bag of bean flour."
"Yes, it's 24 yuan in total," Director Jiang said with a smile.
Xu Miaotong: "?"
[Holy crap, Tongtong's family only had 24 yuan left, and Director Jiang already asked for 24 yuan? Was Director Jiang deliberately asking for so much money?]
[Has the person upstairs not seen season one? In season one, Qin Yuanyao asked Director Jiang to buy ingredients, and the amount Director Jiang asked for was exactly the amount of money Qin Yuanyao had. It's just another of Director Jiang's old tricks.]
[This is different! In the first season, Qin Yuanyao had over a hundred yuan, but now our Sister Tong only has 24 yuan. How could Director Jiang be so heartless as to take it all!]
[How is it different? To me, they look quite the same. Director Jiang treats everyone equally, which is great. Do you want Director Jiang to give your sister Tong special treatment? Let her invest in our program and become Director Jiang's father!]
[Hahaha, you upstairs, you know how to be sarcastic!]
"So many?" Xu Miaotong was stunned.
"Because you want a lot of things." Director Jiang still had a big smile on his face.
"Is 20 yuan not enough?" Xu Miaotong began to bargain.
She needed so many ingredients because she planned to make purple sweet potato balls for all the guests.
Qin Yuanyao only gave Ye Rui crabs, but she wholeheartedly thought of all the guests and made purple sweet potato balls for them all.
This comparison clearly shows who is better, and viewers watching the live stream will naturally criticize Qin Yuanyao.
However, she never expected that Director Jiang would be such a huge pitfall!
Their family doesn't have much money to begin with. If they buy all the ingredients, what will they eat tonight? What will they eat tomorrow?
"No, you can't. Do you want it or not? If not, that's fine too." Director Jiang spoke in a seller's market tone, as if to say, "Take it or leave it."
Xu Miaotong hesitated for a long time, then gritted her teeth and said, "Buy!"
You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub.
Anyway, they can eat purple sweet potato balls for dinner.
I can earn my food money tomorrow by doing tasks tomorrow!
Director Jiang was overjoyed to see that he had so quickly wiped out the family assets of a group of guests, and he quickly gathered everything Xu Miaotong wanted.
Xu Miaotong carried the groceries back to Aunt Li's house and went straight into the kitchen.
She had previously learned to make purple sweet potato balls at home by following videos.
She thought she did a pretty good job, and Gao Li and Gao Hao praised her cooking. That's why she decided to make purple sweet potato balls for all the guests.
After more than an hour of hard work, a big pot of soft, fragrant purple sweet potato balls was ready.
Xu Miaotong sniffed the aroma with great satisfaction and said to the live broadcast camera, "It smells so good! I feel like my purple sweet potato balls were a huge success this time! I'll give a few to Gao Li and Hao Hao to try."
Xu Miaotong winked playfully at the live stream camera, then carried a plate of purple sweet potato balls back to their room.
In the room, Gao Li was sleeping, while Gao Hao sat beside him flipping through his own picture book.
Seeing that Gao Li had fallen asleep again, Xu Miaotong rolled her eyes inwardly and thought he was like a pig.
"Haohao, try the purple sweet potato balls Mom just made," Xu Miaotong said excitedly.
Gao Hao didn't actually want to eat it.
He had just finished eating, and his stomach was still very full, so he couldn't eat anymore.
But looking at his mother, he couldn't bring himself to refuse.
"Wow, these purple sweet potato balls look so delicious!" Gao Hao exclaimed with an exaggerated expression.
He took a purple sweet potato ball, took a bite, swallowed it with some difficulty, and his brows furrowed slightly involuntarily.
"Mom, it's so delicious! I haven't had such tasty purple sweet potato balls in ages," Gao Hao said quickly, before even swallowing the purple sweet potato ball in his mouth.
[Here it comes! Gao Hao's always the same compliments]
Is Gao Hao unable to eat at all? I think his eyebrows furrowed slightly just now.
Xu Miaotong was very happy, thinking that Gao Hao really liked to eat.
"It seems my cooking skills have really improved," Xu Miaotong boasted.
"Haohao, Mom made a lot of purple sweet potato balls to send to the uncles and aunts who are participating in the program with us. Why don't you go with Mom to deliver them?" Xu Miaotong said.
Gao Hao nodded obediently, "Okay."
[Wow, Sister Tong made so many purple sweet potato balls! There were enough for all the guests! Sister Tong is so generous, unlike some other people.]
