"Although it's small, it's also a good sign. You said it was small, but I haven't seen you using a hoe to dig it bigger." Deng Yingyi spoke indifferently, and the sarcasm in his words was no less than that of Yu Yingting.
If you think the one they dug is too small, then you can go and dig a bigger one. You're just talking, but I haven't seen you actually do anything.
Bu Yarui's enthusiasm was like being poured with a bucket of cold water, instantly extinguished by half. She said: "If it's too small, why don't you dig up something shocking?"
"Humph!" Yu Yingting snorted coldly, her expression arrogant. "Dig it if you want!"
After saying that, she walked forward carrying a small hoe.
Professor Cen Jing glanced deeply at Yu Yingting's back and said, "Now's not the time for petty tempers or bickering. Since we're all working on the same project, we need to get along and work together to complete it. Everyone, get moving! We came all the way from S City to J City, so our results can't be worse than those in J City."
Professor Luo Yequan quickly defended his team members, "Professor Cen's second half is correct. We came to this small Heshan in J City to achieve good results for everyone to see. As for Professor Cen's mention of a quarrel, I don't agree. The bickering just now was just a joke between classmates and friends. It doesn't even escalate to the word quarrel."
Professor Cen's eyes flashed with impatience, and he said, "Okay, okay."
Professor Cen’s team consists of five people, including him. Four of them are students, namely Bu Yarui, Deng Yingyi, Su Zhixiong and Yan Guanyu, all of whom are smart, capable and practical students.
Professor Luo's team also consists of five people, including him. Four of them are students, namely Yu Yingting, Zhao Yishan, Wen Zhi and Zhang Xuanzhuo, who are students with both financial resources and power.
Originally, Professor Cen came with another professor in a team, but was intercepted by Professor Luo halfway.
Yu Yingting in Professor Luo's team is known to everyone in their professor circle for her reputation as a "counterfeit". It can be said that her academic achievements are all due to her family background. Such a young lady should be thankful if she doesn't make trouble and affect other people's work, let alone do hard work such as digging, moving plants and moving soil.
Professor Cen thought so in his heart.
Suddenly, a frightened woman screamed from the front, "Ah——"
They rushed over to check what was happening, and what they saw was this: Yu Yingting was lying on the ground with her eyes closed, her face pale, and she was still muttering, "Snake, there's a snake, help! Kill it! Kill it!"
Wen Zhi and Zhao Yishan hurried forward to help her up, and Zhao Yishan comforted her: "Yingting, it's okay, it's okay."
Zhang Xuanzhuo looked around where she fell and asked in confusion, "Where is the snake?"
Upon hearing the word "snake," Yu Yingting kicked her legs violently, screaming, "Ahhhh!" "Legs, legs!"
At this time, everyone present also noticed the vine wrapped around her legs and thrown off by her.
Deng Yingyi bent down and picked up the vine. Yu Yingting was so frightened that she stepped back a meter, her face turning pale again. She said with disgust, "Why are you catching a snake? That's disgusting!"
Deng Yingyi said speechlessly: "This is a rattan..."
Although both snakes and vines are long, they bear no resemblance to each other when viewed up close.
"Rattan?" Yu Yingting looked at the people around her with a pale face and found that some of them nodded at her.
Everyone said it was just a cane and she was the only one who was scared.
She thought she had tripped over a dead snake, but it turned out to be a vine.
"I..." She was so embarrassed that her face turned pale.
Professor Luo quickly stepped out to smooth things over, saying, "Alright, alright, everyone, go back to your own business. Although this isn't a real snake, autumn hasn't arrived in J City yet, so snakes are still active. Everyone should be careful."
Yu Yingying had made a fool of herself, but the shock she received was genuine. Zhao Yishan supported her, still in shock, and helped her to rest in the camp tent while the others continued their investigation.
After a while, Professor Cen and his five companions followed the sound of flowing water and found a small stream in the mountains. Yan Guanjie said, "There are fish in the water, the size of a palm."
Su Zhixiong said: "And shrimp."
Bu Yarui said: "I know this fish, it's a crucian carp."
Professor Cen said, "Yingyi, fill half a bucket with water first, and we'll catch some fish to take back."
…
At 12:30 noon, after they loaded today's harvest into the car, they discussed where to have lunch.
Professor Cen suggested that everyone go to the Xue He stall to try the food there. After all, they had only read reports about Xue He’s food on paper and had never eaten the real thing.
Professor Luo was about to agree when he heard Yu Yingting and Zhao Yishan coughing.
He understood and said, "Let's go to a big hotel in J City to celebrate on our first day in J City. It's not good to eat at street stalls on the first day."
Since he said so, Professor Cen agreed, "Okay, let's go to Xuehe stall tomorrow."
It is now 12:30, and they drove to Chengyang Road. The Xuehe stall has closed, and the hotel is still their final destination.

Hu Ruichuan's birthday is in two days, and his family has prepared a small birthday party for him. On his birthday, they will invite his good friends and classmates to attend. The cake for his birthday has also been ordered, but it doesn't matter if there are a few more cakes.
As the elder sister, Hu Qiwen thought of the spiritual flower cake and spiritual fruit cake in the points gift manual.
She knocked on her brother's door with the points gift booklet.
"Ruichuan, which cake do you like?"
Hu Ruichuan also put down the book in his hand. He looked at the two cakes, one with a flower theme and the other with a fruit theme.
Both types of cakes are bright, sweet beauties.
He pointed at the spiritual flower cake and said in surprise, "Sister, this is a sand begonia flower! Is this the cake from Xuehe's family?"
"Yes."
After learning that the cake was from Xuehe's family, Hu Ruichuan also took the points gift book and looked at it carefully. The sand bean flower was his favorite flower. There was a sand bean flower on the spiritual flower cake, but there was a sand bean fruit on the spiritual fruit cake. He couldn't decide which one to choose.
Five minutes later, Hu Ruichuan looked up at Hu Qiwen and said expectantly, "Sister, can I have both?" He liked both of them and it was hard to make a decision.
Hu Qiwen gently rubbed his head and said with a faint smile, "Okay."
At 8:30 in the evening, Hu Qiwen reclined on the sofa in the living room, eating biscuits while browsing the content in the Xuehe Food APP.
She found that there were many delicacies on the Xuehe Food App that were not available at the stalls, such as Jiaojiao Wine, Jiutian Linglong Yao Fruit, Jade Meat Pastry, Ruiwu Ling Soup, etc.
Thinking that the spiritual flower cake and spiritual fruit cake together would cost 1,300 points, Hu Qiwen turned his attention to Hu Yuchun, Hu's father.
Hu Qiwen smiled mischievously and tilted his head to ask, "Dad, was the spiritual flower wine you drank last time delicious?"
"It tastes very good." He kept half of the Linghua wine in the company, and would have a drink whenever he had free time. The taste was amazing!
Hu Qiwen raised her phone and said, "Now there's a better wine, would you like to buy it?"
