Chi Nao noticed the vegetables Xu Miaotong had picked, and her beautiful eyes widened in astonishment as she pointed at the vegetables Xu Miaotong had picked and said, "What did you pick!"
Xu Miaotong smiled gently and said, "Cabbage."
"This is cabbage, not bok choy!" Chi Nao corrected crisply.
Xu Miaotong was taken aback and looked down at the dish in her hand carefully.
She wasn't sure if it was cabbage; even though she hadn't cooked much, she had seen Chinese cabbage before.
What she was holding in her hand was indeed a cabbage.
Xu Miaotong looked somewhat embarrassed and said with an awkward laugh, "Oh dear, I got excited and misjudged, I picked the wrong one."
Her helpless and ashamed expression made everyone laugh.
Director Jiang took away the cabbage she had mistakenly picked.
Xu Miaotong moved to a different spot and was about to bend down to continue picking vegetables when Chi Naoche spoke up again.
What are you going to do?!
Xu Miaotong felt a slight dissatisfaction, but her smile remained unchanged as she said in a gentle voice, "Picking vegetables."
"What vegetables do you want to pick?" Chi Nao asked, sounding like the captain of an inspection team.
Xu Miaotong was a little unsure: "Celery."
“That’s cilantro, not celery! Don’t keep picking the wrong vegetables and wasting them. Farmers work very hard to grow vegetables,” Chi Nao said earnestly.
Xu Miaotong was very unhappy.
The way Chi Cheese said it made it sound like she was not only a complete idiot when it came to life, but also couldn't even recognize all the vegetables, and didn't understand the meaning of "every grain is hard-earned".
She's just a little kid, what does she know!
Don't act so arrogantly just because her father is Chi Baiyi!
"Is this cilantro?" Xu Miaotong asked doubtfully.
Chi Cheese nodded firmly: "Cilantro!"
Xu Miaotong smiled meaningfully: "You know so many dishes?"
The implication was that she still doubted whether what Chi Cheese said was true.
Xu Miaotong thought that Chi Nao couldn't understand the deeper meaning in her words.
Little did Chi Nai know that she still suspected her from Chi Nai's malicious eyes.
Chi Naozi turned to Qin Yuanyao and asked, "Sister Qin, do you think that's cilantro or celery?"
Qin Yuanyao blurted out: "Cilantro."
Chi Nailu immediately turned to look at Xu Miaotong, her expression seemingly saying, "Did you hear that? Sister Qin also said that's cilantro."
Xu Miaotong sneered inwardly.
Who is Qin Yuanyao!
Just because she says it's cilantro doesn't mean it's cilantro!
Seeing that Xu Miaotong was still stubborn, Guo Zhuyan spoke up: "That is indeed cilantro. When I was a child, there was a small plot of land in front of my house where my mother grew both cilantro and celery. Many people have confused these two vegetables."
Xu Miaotong then truly believed that Chi Nao and Qin Yuanyao were right.
Her face flushed red and then pale, and she followed the lead Guo Zhuyan had given her: "It really is cilantro! Luckily, Cheese pointed it out in time, otherwise I would have picked the wrong one again. Cheese knows so much, I need to learn a lot from Cheese."
Xu Miaotong spoke wittily, but Chi Naozi didn't buy it at all.
She looked at Xu Miaotong and asked, "Why didn't you believe me when I told Sister Qin it was cilantro, but you believed Uncle Guo when he said it was cilantro?"
Xu Miaotong's face stiffened, and she didn't know how to answer for a long time.
She gave a dry laugh: "I don't disbelieve, I'm just unsure."
"Don't disbelief and uncertainty mean the same thing? Aunt Xu, don't try to fool me just because I'm young. I can read five thousand characters."
Chi Cheese's last sentence made everyone laugh.
Xu Miaotong chuckled awkwardly, "Haha, Cheese is so cute, it knows so many words! Haohao, you should learn more from Cheese."
Gao Hao, who was suddenly called out, nodded with a confused look on his face: "Mm."
[Haha, Hao Hao is so cute, and the cheese is cute too, plus he's super smart!]
I feel a little sorry for Gao Hao. He was clearly being used by Xu Miaotong as a shield and a way to change the subject.
Gao Hao is indeed a bit pitiful. His mother not only makes her own tea and dishes, but when asked about cheese, she even tried to change the subject by bringing up her son.
[What's wrong with Tongtong telling Haohao to learn more from cheese? How is that changing the subject by bringing Haohao up? Also, let me say it again, my sister Tongtong isn't a sycophant!]
What kind of spell has Xu Miaotong cast on her fans? Why does she have more fans of her particular type than many popular celebrities?
[You haven't been online enough, have you? Just look at the trending topics and you'll see. These days, internet celebrities buy trending topics just as much as stars do. If you're willing to spend money, you can naturally gain followers.]
We'll skip the part about cilantro and celery.
Xu Miaotong has learned her lesson and no longer blindly and eagerly picks vegetables on her own. Instead, she follows the others and picks whatever they pick, thus avoiding making a fool of herself again.
The group picked tomatoes.
Chi Cheese was picking tomatoes with great care and focus.
She picked tomatoes with her right hand, her left arm close to her chest, first placing the picked tomatoes on her left arm until it was full, then gently pouring the tomatoes into the large bamboo basket next to her.
Suddenly, a tomato fell from her left arm, rolled a few times on the ground, and stopped at Ge Ling's feet.
Chi Nai wanted to pick them up, but as soon as she took a step, she realized that she had to put all the tomatoes on her left arm into the bamboo basket first, otherwise they would all fall off.
As Chi Nai poured tomatoes into the bamboo basket, Ge Ling picked up a tomato that had rolled to her feet and handed it to Chi Nai.
"Thank you." Chi Nao accepted the gift and thanked them politely.
"You're welcome."
After Ge Ling finished speaking, she returned to her seat.
While picking tomatoes, Zhuo Ranjun watched her daughter interact with Chi Naoqi.
When Ge Ling returned, Zhuo Ranjun secretly gave Ge Ling a praising look.
