Chapter 38



Lu Chuanbei never knew that someone who could fry a poached egg could also make it look like a fried egg.

He looked at the egg liquid splattered all over the kitchen and looked at Fang Xiuzhu in disbelief: "Teacher Fang, is this how you can fry an egg?"

"I said, this is because of the pot, do you believe it?" Fang Xiuzhu made a final effort.

"What do you think?" If Lu Chuanbei still believed that he could cook, he would have his head chopped off.

Fang Xiuzhu: "Well, I remembered that Lao He is still in the bamboo forest. I'll go get him back."

Lu Chuanbei looked at Fang Xiuzhu's somewhat evasive back, then glanced at the devastation in the kitchen. He couldn't help but cover his face and said, "No, my idol has collapsed."

[Pfft... Just a joke, Fang Xiuzhu can cook.]

If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that frying an egg could turn into such a disaster.

[Now I want to know, how did Fang Xiuzhu fry the eggs to make the kitchen look like this?]

[Although the omelette wasn't fried well, congratulations to Dabin, someone finally remembered him.]

[Dabinzi: Why don’t I feel grateful at all?]

[However, now I understand why Fang Xiuzhu agreed so readily after hearing Lu Chuanbei's offer to keep him for dinner.]

[Nodding like crazy.jbg, here's a suggestion: Don't let Fang Xiuzhu cook anymore. After all, other people cook to fame, but he cooks to death.]

[However, I guess no one would dare to ask Fang Xiuzhu to cook anymore, right?]

[Um... haven't you forgotten that the production team arranged for them to cook three meals a day? This is just the beginning, we can't let Lu Chuanbei cook all the time, right?]

[So, can Dabinzi cook? ]

[Oh my god, as a fan of Dabin, I can tell you responsibly that he makes instant noodles pretty good.]

So, what was the production team thinking when they chose these two to be on this show?

【Look at the face?】

As soon as this comment came out, the entire live broadcast room was filled with these two words.

Director Liu covered his face silently: ...Can he say that he relied on connections?

After losing an egg, Lu Chuanbei still managed to finish this late dinner with great difficulty.

Although his skills are still unsatisfactory, compared with his former idol, this skill is barely enough.

In addition, the bamboo shoots he had just dug from the bamboo forest in the afternoon and the green vegetables that He Xuebin was cheated of were both delicious enough.

Stir-fry the shredded pork and thinly chopped bamboo shoots until fragrant, then pour in boiling water. After boiling, add the tube noodles. When they are half soft with cores, pour in fresh and tender green vegetables. A simple bowl of vegetable and shredded pork noodles is ready.

Finally, each person lays an egg on the bed.

After He Xuebin finished the last mouthful of noodle soup, he couldn't help but burp: "It feels so good. Eating some hot noodles at night is so comfortable."

After finishing his noodles, Fang Xiuzhu couldn't help but talk to Lu Chuanbei, "Xiao Lu, there's something I want to discuss with you."

"What's up?"

"Let's partner up." Fang Xiuzhu said straight to the point.

"partnership?"

"Yes, let's start a cooking together." Fang Xiuzhu, who had already exposed himself in front of Lu Chuanbei, said directly: "Although I can't cook, I have a bamboo forest. The income from digging bamboo shoots every day can be used to buy vegetables and cover the food expenses."

As he spoke, he looked towards Song Tiantian and Xiangfang Nan and the others: "Besides, Tiantian and Nannan are both growing up now, so they need to eat more fresh vegetables every day."

"Yes, yes, I'll join in too." He Xuebin, who finally had some self-awareness, quickly followed up, "I have a flower farm. Although I don't know where it is yet, more income means more opportunities. It's better for the three groups of guests to work together than to be separated by the program team."

"That's true, but my cooking skills are just average."

"...Compared to me, it's already pretty good."

"Well, I only know how to cook instant noodles. If you don't agree to my request, Nian Nian and I will..."

Lu Chuanbei: "Okay then, but if the food I cook isn't tasty, you guys should be more understanding."

"Don't worry, we will definitely understand."

"That's right, I can't cook, so I'm lucky to have something to eat. Why are you complaining about it?"

In this way, on the first night when the three groups of guests arrived in Beiyang Village, they reached a "partnership" agreement to keep each other warm.

A good night's sleep

The next day, Song Tiantian got out of bed at dawn at the system's alarm clock.

Song Tiantian rubbed her sleepy eyes, dragged her slippers, and went to the kitchen to get a bowl, then walked towards the bamboo forest outside the grape courtyard.

In the early morning, you can see dew on the branches and leaves everywhere in the bamboo forest. This dew will disappear before the sun rises, so if you want to collect it, you must come at dawn before the sky is fully dark.

Song Tiantian came here just for this.

The early morning breeze makes the bamboo forest rustle, and the early birds sing joyfully, as if welcoming the new day.

Song Tiantian held the bowl and carefully caught all the dew she could get.

When the sun revealed a halo, the small bowl in Song Tiantian's hand was half full. Although it was not a lot, it was enough for Song Tiantian.

Song Tiantian returned home and carefully placed the small bowl on the bedside table in the room. Then, she climbed into bed and took a nap.

The camera in the room, which was covered with a towel by Lu Chuanbei last night, was still asleep, and had no idea that before it was turned on, a little girl had gone out for a walk and came back.

After a while, Lu Chuanbei from next door also got up.

As soon as he got up, he went to Song Tiantian's room and took a look. Seeing that the little girl was still sleeping soundly on the bed, Lu Chuanbei did not wake her up.

After washing up, Lu Chuanbei jogged around the village. On the way back, he stopped by the supply and marketing cooperative to ask if the small medicine pot and medicine mortar he ordered last night had arrived.

"It's on the way and will be here soon."

"Okay, remember to remind me when the goods arrive." Lu Chuanbei said, and bought a few eggs, a five-pound bag of rice, and a small bag of flour from the supply and marketing cooperative.

With just this little bit of stuff, he had almost spent all the money Lu Chuanbei had left yesterday.

Lu Chuanbei carefully put away the three dollars and twenty cents he had found and walked towards the grape courtyard.

Back at the grape courtyard, the photographer was also at his post.

Lu Chuanbei went straight to the kitchen and cooked the porridge in the rice cooker provided by his sponsor.

Next, knead the dough and make omelets.

This is relatively simple, so by the time Fang Xiuzhu and the others arrived, Lu Chuanbei had already finished it.

Not only that, Lu Chuanbei also used the potatoes that Fang Xiuzhu put here yesterday to stir-fry a plate of shredded potatoes, and used a piece of meat and bamboo shoots left over from yesterday to stir-fry shredded pork and bamboo shoots. These two dishes can not only be used to roll egg pancakes later, but are also very good to eat with porridge.

As soon as He Xuebin and Fang Xiuzhu came over, they praised Lu Chuanbei like a flower.

Those who didn’t know would probably think that Lu Chuanbei had prepared some big meal.

"Xiao Lu, you're so capable." He Xuebin looked at the dishes on the table and said to Lu Chuanbei with some shame: "No, I have to make more money today so that I can add a few more dishes for you."

"There's no rush to add more food." Lu Chuanbei served the cooked porridge and said, "The most important thing for Teacher He right now is to pay off his debt."

"Xiao Lu is right." Fang Xiuzhu felt a bad premonition when she thought of the IOU that He Xuebin had signed yesterday. "If you don't pay the money back now, it might not be easy to resolve once they make a request."

He Xuebin thought about the show crew's personality of cheating people to death without compensation: "You are right, I will go to look for Huatian in a while. I don't believe that I can't pay back the two hundred yuan in the next few days."

"You go find the flower fields, and Xiao Lu and I will continue to dig bamboo shoots and pick grapes here to make more money."

"Okay, it's settled then."

While Lu Chuanbei and the others were discussing today's plan, Xiangfangnan kept looking around the room.

After not seeing Song Tiantian coming to eat, Xiangfangnan finally couldn't help but ask Lu Chuanbei, "Uncle Lu, where's Tiantian?"

"Tiantian is still sleeping." Lu Chuanbei said with a smile: "This girl must have been exhausted yesterday, so I let her sleep a little longer."

After hearing this, Xiangfangnan stopped looking for people.

After breakfast, He Xuebin went to find the location of the flower field, while Fang Xiuzhu took a hoe and continued to dig bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest. Lu Chuanbei and the two children stayed behind to pick grapes in the vineyard.

Overnight, the grapes in the vineyard ripened a lot more.

Lu Chuanbei was cutting the grapes with scissors, while Xiangfangnan and He Jingnian took the grapes and carefully arranged them on the bamboo baskets, thus forming a small assembly line.

Song Tiantian, who had taken a nap in the room, looked towards the bedside as soon as she woke up. Seeing that the bowl of dew was still there, she patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, it's still there. Fortunately, it's still there."

System 008: Don’t worry, I’ll be watching over you.

Song Tiantian: Thank you 008.

System 008: You’re welcome, you’re my host and I should help you.

Song Tiantian walked out of the room: "Dad?"

Fang Nan, who had been listening attentively to the noise in the room, immediately looked up at Lu Chuanbei the moment Song Tiantian spoke: "Uncle Lu, Tiantian is calling you."

"Is Tiantian awake?" Lu Chuanbei quickly put down the scissors and listened towards the room.

When he heard this, he really heard Song Tiantian calling him: "Really, I'll go clean up Tiantian, you guys take a break and eat some grapes."

As he spoke, Lu Chuanbei walked towards the front yard.

Xiangfangnan followed without saying a word. Seeing this, He Jingnian also hurriedly followed: "Wait a minute, I'm going to look for Tiantian too."
