When the old village chief, leaning on a cane and walking briskly with several purchasing managers, walked towards the village office, Lu Chuanbei and others waved the more than 30,000 yuan they had just received and directly paid off the money they owed to the program team.
He Xuebin snatched the IOU that Zhang Bosong handed over reluctantly, and tore it up in a few "swish" sounds in front of him, Director Liu and others.
The torn pieces of paper were carefully placed in the red envelope that Zhang Bosong often used to threaten them: "Yes, these scraps of paper are perfect for starting a fire."
Zhang Bosong's mouth twitched: "Are you really that serious?"
"Of course, we should never underestimate the downtime of the production team."
While He Xuebin and Zhang Bosong were arguing, Xu Qi had already quickly run to Song Tiantian's side and kept helping her.
"Tiantian, tell your uncle where else we want to dig." Under Song Tiantian's guidance, Xu Qi dug out black truffles several times by himself and became addicted.
"Let me smell it."
"Yeah, just take your time and smell it for as long as you want." As soon as Xu Qi saw the black truffles in the bamboo basket, he couldn't help but smile like his aunt, no, uncle.
He looked at Xiangnan without blinking and turned his head away.
[Nannan, are you disgusted? ]
[Of course I dislike it, but even if I do, I still want to follow Tiantian and dig for black truffles! QAQ!]
[That's right, it's really great to be able to dig out black truffles without any effort!]
[Suddenly I envy Director Xu...]
Not only Director Xu, but Director Liu also couldn't help but start to get excited after seeing Xu Qi dig up black truffles several times behind Song Tiantian.
Not long after, another person appeared behind Song Tiantian, scrambling to dig black truffles.
The black truffle digging team is growing...
Tears of envy streamed down my cheeks. Nannan's little basket was almost full again. I couldn't even imagine how delicious the black truffle fried rice they were having tonight would be!
[Gulu, Tiantian, can you please go to Grape Courtyard and have a spoonful of black truffle fried rice? Just one spoonful!]
Under the gaze of fans who were almost crying with envy, Song Tiantian and others walked on the way back to the village with a small basket full of black truffles.
The purchasing managers, who had just negotiated the purchase price of black truffles with the village chief and others, had just come out of the village chief's office when they saw Xu Qi, with a smug look on his face, carrying a small basket that was completely inconsistent with his body, and showing it off to them.
"Oh, you're still here." Xu Qi, carrying a small basket of black truffles, looked at them in surprise. "I thought you were gone."
When Manager Sun saw the basket of black truffles, his eyes darkened: "Director Xu, didn't you just dig these?"
"Yes, we plan to use these to make a simple black truffle fried rice tonight." When Xu Qi said this, the smile on his face almost overflowed.
"Black truffle fried rice?" Even Manager Qian, who had just sold a small basket, couldn't help but gasp: "Using black truffles of this quality to make fried rice?"
"This is simply a waste of natural resources, a waste of natural resources!"
"It doesn't matter. We dug these black truffles ourselves and can afford to eat them." When Xu Qi thought of the scene where these guys had just pushed him back in order to prevent him from keeping the black truffles for himself, he felt like a serf singing a song of liberation.
"It doesn't need to be so much, right?" Manager Zhou on the side couldn't help but said eagerly.
Upon hearing this, Manager Sun also reacted and looked at Director Xu: "Director Xu, would you consider buying some more black truffles?"
"Yeah, doesn't your program crew always like to cheat you out of your money? It just so happens that I have some cash in my car. How about you buy me some black truffles?" Manager Qian, who is rich and has a lot of cash, felt for the first time how good it was to have cash.
"We also have cash. Someone will deliver it to us early tomorrow morning."
“Yes, our restaurant too.”
For a moment, everyone spoke up, afraid that if they were a little slow, they would be beaten to the punch by Manager Qian, who had no moral principles and even brought cash with him.
"Sorry, we don't buy them. We are keeping them for ourselves." Lu Chuanbei said quickly.
Otherwise, he was afraid that if he was any slower, he would not be able to keep these black truffles.
He Xuebin quickly pulled Xu Qi over and said, "Director Xu, didn't you just say that you were going to show us your skills when you get back today?"
"Yes, yes, yes. I finally got such good ingredients today. I must go back and prepare them well. I won't talk to you guys anymore." Before Xu Qi left, he did not forget to show off to them.
[Is Director Xu taking revenge?]
Director Xu: Haha, you guys just told me not to keep the black truffles, but now I’m making black truffle fried rice and you’re all going to be envious!
[Oh my... Director Xu seems quite proud now, but he probably won't be so proud anytime soon.]
[Pfft, did the people upstairs see that too? I'm really curious to see what Director Xu's expression will be like soon.]
What's going on? What happened?
[Directing me to Xu Anjia and He Jingnian's livestream, I've been watching them go crazy all afternoon. I'm impressed by their energy...]
On this side, Xu Qi stepped into the grape courtyard in a good mood, but he almost slipped and died on the spot.
Fortunately, Lu Chuanbei behind him hurriedly supported him, preventing Xu Qi from falling down.
"Director Xu, are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Xu Qi stood firm with a little fear, and looked at the thing on the ground that almost made him slip.
Seeing this, Xu Qi almost fainted.
The yard was littered with the appearance of escaped loaches, and there was also water all over the ground and an overturned basin...
In addition to these, there were two others who were soaked all over. Any parent would understand what was happening after seeing all this.
"I'm wondering why it's so quiet now. It seems like you guys are making trouble at home, right?" He Xuebin was stunned by the scene before him.
Lu Chuanbei: "Oh my god, how did you guys destroy a basin of loaches like this?"
"There's an old saying that's true: a quiet child must be up to something. Your skills in up to something are truly extraordinary!" Xu Qi looked at them with gritted teeth.
Xu Anjia shuddered when Xu Qi looked at her: "Well, Dad, listen to my excuse, no, listen to my explanation."
"Okay, I'll listen to your excuses!"
"Explain, explain!" Xu Anjia shouted with a strong desire to survive.
Xu Qi sneered a few times: "Okay, I'll listen to you explain it to me slowly."
As he said that, he handed the basket in his hand to Lu Chuanbei: "Xiao Lu, you take it first."
"You, you, you, what are you doing!" Xu Anjia stepped back with a bad feeling: "I can't tolerate you being like this."
"How am I?"
"You, you want to hit the child?"
"Yeah, I usually don't hit kids unless I really can't help it." Xu Qi pretended to roll up his sleeves and was about to grab Xu Anjia.
"Ahhh, mom, please come quickly, dad is beating the child!" Xu Anjia shouted with her eyes closed, looking so sad.
Unfortunately, after waiting for a long time, Xu Qizhen didn't come to catch him.
Xu Anjia secretly opened his eyes and looked at Xu Qi. He saw him bending over with a pale face, picking up the loaches on the ground and throwing them into the basin.
Seeing this, Xu Anjia couldn't help but feel a little guilty: "Dad..."
"Okay, come quickly and help catch all the loaches, or I'll really have to do it."
"Yeah." Xu Anjia hurried forward and grabbed it together.
Lu Chuanbei and others were also busy. They bent down and caught all the loaches on the ground.
The loach catching finally came to an end when the last one was caught in the corner of the ditch.
"Finally, I've finished picking them up." He Xuebin quickly stood up and sighed in relief. "I never thought that after pouring out all the loaches in this basin, there would still be so many."
"I want to know now what on earth you did to pour out all these loaches." Xu Qi rinsed his mucus-covered hands in front of the sink.
"Well..." Xu Anjia felt a little embarrassed.
Seeing his daughter's expression, Xu Qi's mouth twitched: "I knew it, it must be you who did it!"
"Well, the water in the basin containing the loaches was too dirty, so we wanted to change the water." Xu Anjia didn't expect that just wanting to change the water would turn out like this.
Now that the truth has been clarified, these children can no longer be kept.
Lu Chuanbei and others took their children home to take a bath and change clothes.
After everything is cleaned up, return to the grape courtyard.
As soon as he returned to the grape courtyard, Fang Xiuzhu saw vegetables, pickled meat, fish, two lively hens, and a duck with its feet tied piled up in the yard.
"Xiao Lu, what's going on in the yard?"
"These were all given by the villagers."
As soon as the villagers heard that Song Tiantian had helped them find black truffles in the village's pine forest, they immediately gathered all the fruits, vegetables, chickens, ducks, fish and meat from their homes and piled them in the grape yard.
He Xuebin looked at the food piled up like a small mountain and couldn't help but cheer: "With so much food, we don't have to buy groceries for a few days, right?"
Xu Qi couldn't help but say with a whetted appetite, "With so many ingredients, if we don't have a good meal tonight, we'd be letting down our fellow villagers' kindness."
"What are you waiting for? Let's get started!"
"I'll take care of the chickens and ducks. Brother He, please help me boil some water for plucking the feathers later."
"no problem!"
"I'll wash the vegetables."
"Leave the cooking to me."
For a moment, the entire grape courtyard became busy.
In a short while, Xu Qi prepared a table full of delicious food.
There is no need to mention Song Tian Dessert’s black truffle fried rice, there is also cream black truffle, black truffle steak, black truffle pasta and so on.
When Director Liu saw the creamy black truffle, the lunch box in his hand suddenly lost its aroma: "Ahem, you guys continue to focus on the live broadcast. I'm going to go out for a while."
After a while, Director Liu, who had been out for a while, appeared in the restaurant of Grape Courtyard.
When Zhang Bosong saw this, he followed quietly.
[Hahaha, Director Liu is here to eat for free.]
Director Liu really likes creamy black truffles. He went straight for this dish when he first arrived!
I was wondering why Director Xu made black truffle cream. Wasn't it just to lure Director Liu?
【The truth is revealed above...】
Tears of envy streamed down my face. There were so many delicious foods, why didn't I get to try any?
I had already ordered a table of dishes, but once I saw the delicacies made with black truffles, the food in front of me suddenly lost its flavor.
[Look at that table of black truffle feast! This is true black truffle freedom!]
In the Beiyangshan Research Institute, a group of researchers who were also having dinner couldn't help but envy the feast after seeing it in the live broadcast room.
"Lu Chuanbei and the others are eating too well, aren't they?"
"This is such a luxury! With so many black truffles, it would be nice if you could share some with us!"
"Exactly. You've already dug up some black truffles, but why didn't you think of bringing them to us? Even if they're a little more expensive, I can sell them myself!"
"No, I have to go to Beiyang Village tomorrow when I have a day off. Maybe I can experience the joy of digging black truffles myself!"
"Take one with me and I'll go too!"
"Let's go, it would be a shame if we missed this opportunity."
"What a pity? What are you talking about?" Sun Yuan came over with the food and saw them talking non-stop on their cell phones.
"Mr. Sun, don't you know yet?"
"Know what?" Sun Yuan looked at them with a puzzled look.
"Take Dad to the countryside. Lu Chuanbei and his friends found black truffles in Beiyang Village today."
"What did you say?"
"It's true. Look here, these are the feasts they made with black truffles." The researcher handed the tablet directly to Sun Yuan.
Sun Yuan hurriedly looked at the live broadcast. The dazzling array of food on the table and the black truffles exposed in a basket in the corner immediately caught his eye.
“Is it really a black truffle?”
"Yes, Tiantian found these in the pine forest a little below Beiyang Village."
One of the more daring researchers even joked to Sun Yuan, "Mr. Sun, we're planning to take advantage of our day off tomorrow to go down to the village and experience the joy of digging black truffles ourselves. Would you like to come with us?"
"What are you talking about? Why is Mr. Sun..." Before the person next to him could finish his words, he heard Sun Yuan nodding in agreement: "Okay, let's go together tomorrow."
"What?"
While the researchers were surprised that Sun Yuan was going to join them to dig for black truffles in the village, Lu Chuanbei and the others were already immersed in the delicious taste of black truffles...
