"Yes, you guys just started eating too," Chen Feng said, picking up a bite of food.
"Hey hey, what do you think we're eating?"
Yin Xing gestured, and Huang Fei casually picked up a piece of vermicelli with his chopsticks, while Zheng Ping picked up a large piece of pork belly.
"Holy crap, you guys are celebrating the New Year?" Chen Feng exclaimed in surprise after seeing clearly.
"Oh dear, there's not much to eat, so I'm just grabbing a bite. Unlike you, who gets to eat canned food." Yin Xing deliberately shoveled a big mouthful of rice into his mouth, speaking in a Versailles-like manner.
“Yeah, this stewed white meat is just okay, barely edible, hehe.” Huang Fei chimed in from the side.
"It really rained all day where you are. How can you work like that?"
Zheng Ping asked.
"I'll just let it dry in the rain. I was soaked all day and just changed when I got back." Chen Feng ran his fingers through his still-damp hair.
"Hey Fengzi, when are you coming over? I want you to try this stewed four whites too."
"Look, look, what's this?" Huang Fei said, holding up his cup to show Chen Feng.
"You even got seaweed and egg drop soup? Where did you get it?" Chen Feng asked curiously.
"The freeze-dried food I bought in Shangqiu City isn't very good. It's not as good as your plain water, but it'll have to do with it," Huang Fei said, taking a satisfying sip.
Although that's what he said, Huang Fei's smug expression told a completely different story.
Chen Feng couldn't help but laugh when he heard his words, looking at his bowl full of seaweed and egg drop soup, along with the particularly lavish two meat and two vegetable dishes.
He was already considering whether to let these bastards be happy for a while, or to tell them the truth directly.
"Oh my, this stewed white meat is so delicious! It's a pity you can't have any, Fengzi."
"Fengzi, is canned food really as good as stewed white meat? Haha."
"Tsk tsk tsk, this soup is so delicious. Fengzi, if you're craving it, just say so, and we'll save you two pieces."
The crowd behind Yin Xing also cheered and laughed, all teasing Chen Feng.
"How would I know if stewed white vegetables taste as good as canned food? Besides, I haven't eaten any canned food."
Seeing the smug expressions on those people's faces, Chen Feng couldn't stand it anymore and flipped the camera around to point it at the plates.
"Look, this is sweet and sour pork, this is Kung Pao chicken, this is stir-fried rice noodles with pickled cabbage, and this is mapo tofu."
"The key is that the pickled cabbage fried rice noodles and mapo tofu also contain meat, and they're still considered vegetarian dishes. Can't you believe it? It's all meat. Won't eating this cause internal heat?"
Chen Feng clicked his tongue in disdain.
When Zheng Ping and the others saw the plate in front of Chen Feng, they were all shocked and could not believe that Chen Feng would eat so well.
Wait, we were supposed to be eating canned food in the car, how come it suddenly turned into four dishes?
When the others heard what Chen Feng said, they immediately ran over with their lunchboxes, looking curiously at the phone screen.
When they saw that there were actually four dishes in front of Chen Feng, they were all dumbfounded.
No, where did you get these four dishes? Don't you have trouble even turning on the stove?
"Holy crap, what's going on? Weren't you supposed to be out of the mining area? Did you go to Qiuling City?"
Huang Fei said in shock that this was the only answer he could think of for the time being.
"No, I'm in the mining area," Chen Feng said slowly, picking up a bite of food.
"Oh right, I forgot to show you. Look at this soup. It's the same as yours, seaweed and egg drop soup. But why is mine so thick?"
"Look at these eggs, you can pick up a whole bunch with one chopstick. What is this? You'll get sick of eating this. It's nothing like yours. Yours is just watery soup, it looks so delicious."
Chen Feng sighed and said enviously.
Upon hearing this, Zheng Ping and the others fell silent.
Huang Fei instinctively put his cup away; what was the point of showing it off now? It was too embarrassing.
Wasn't the purpose of their video call to provoke Chen Feng? How come they ended up getting the better of him instead?
Especially after seeing Chen Feng's four dishes and one soup, they suddenly felt that their stewed white dishes didn't taste so good anymore.
The difference is just too big.
"Oh right, let me show you my room. You know what? This place can even be used for accommodation. There's a fan and a shower inside."
"Are you kidding me? Then the bed in my car is useless. This is so annoying."
Chen Feng put down his chopsticks, stood up, and eagerly returned to the room to show them, afraid that if he waited too long, these people would hang up the phone in anger.
"Holy crap, there's even a room to live in, and it's so big, and you can even take a shower?!" Huang Fei stared at his phone, almost crying with envy.
"Yeah, it's so uncomfortable to be able to take a shower every day when you come back. I really envy you guys. You don't even need to shower at night. You can just lean against something and fall asleep. That's so convenient."
"You know, I have to take a shower, change clothes, and turn on the fan before I can sleep with the fan blowing on me. This whole process is too troublesome, really."
Chen Feng clicked his tongue, as if he really found it troublesome.
If they didn't all know Chen Feng, they would have really believed this guy's nonsense.
How much more do you want to show off?
"No, these are all services provided by the paid mining sites themselves?" Zheng Ping asked incredulously.
"Of course, who would come without these? Just kidding." Chen Feng deliberately teased them, without mentioning that these all cost extra money.
"My God, I'm so envious! Is it too late to go now?" Huang Fei really wanted to go.
"No wonder it costs so much, the service is so attentive." Zheng Ping nodded in sudden realization and pursed his lips.
They were still making a fire in the wild, eating and sleeping in the open, acting like savages. Little did they know that Chen Feng had already entered the 21st century.
Every day, they serve four dishes and a soup, while a small fan blows on them.
Are you out here to strike it rich? Or are you just here for a vacation?
"Damn it, if I had known the paid mining sites offered such good benefits, I would have gone with Fengzi too," Yin Xing said regretfully.
"Alright, Fengzi, hang up. I can't watch anymore, it'll affect my Dao heart." Huang Fei waved his hand, closed his eyes, and said exaggeratedly.
"No, let's chat a little longer. There's something else I haven't shown you yet," Chen Feng quickly interrupted.
"Alright, alright, I'm hanging up now. Let us know when you're coming back. Goodbye." Yin Xing hung up the video call without waiting for a reply.
As soon as the video ended, everyone sighed in unison.
"Damn, I didn't expect Fengzi to be doing so well. We were thinking of making Chen Feng jealous, but we ended up losing more than we gained."
"I've realized that we can't mess with Qi Fengzi's ideas; he always manages to turn the tables on us."
"That's right. Last time, Yin Xing's seven thousand gold ingots were crushed into a grotesque shape by Fengzi's big silver lump. This time it's even worse, Fengzi has been crushed to the ground."
"Who exactly said they wanted to make a video call? Who was it?!"
Upon hearing this, everyone slowly turned to look at Yin Xing, who, after a long pause, finally managed to utter a single sentence.
Why are you all looking at me? I'm a victim too!
