Shen Jianshu only found out later that Lin Chuxia wanted the flowers to use in cooking.
Shen Jianshu suddenly remembered something and asked, "Is it because we gave up the vegetable task before and have no vegetables that you especially wanted to pick these flowers?"
Lin Chuxia nodded: "These flowers are actually quite delicious, and they also help cut through the richness of the food. Haven't you tried them before?"
Shen Jianshu shook his head; he really had never eaten it before. His gaze swept over the basket of flowers behind Lin Chuxia, and he asked, "Are you a very good cook?"
"It's alright!"
"Then Yanyou and I are in for a treat today."
Yan You couldn't cook, and he never expected Lin Chuxia and Shen Jianshu to be able to cook, so he was prepared to eat a stew today as well.
Unexpectedly, Lin Chuxia gave him such a surprise.
Upon learning that Lin Chuxia could cook, Yan You was overjoyed: "That's great! At least we don't have to eat any culinary disasters today!"
The division of labor was simple: Yan You and Shen Jianshu assisted Lin Chuxia, while Lin Chuxia was in charge of being the head chef.
After they finished cleaning up the ingredients, the other group members gradually returned to the yard.
Fang Jiaxi looked somewhat disheveled. The first thing she wanted to do when she saw Lin Chuxia was to rush up to her and complain, but then she remembered that she was quite dirty, so she stopped in her tracks.
He just looked at her from afar and asked, "Lin Chuxia, have you all completed your missions?"
"No," Lin Chuxia shook her head, "There's still one vegetable task I haven't finished."
"Oh, I see. Our group still has one task to complete: cleaning the pigsty. Actually, we were already halfway done. If Chen Yuling hadn't angered the pigs, we could have finished the task," Fang Jiaxi said, somewhat annoyed.
Fang Jiaxi wasn't really angry about the mission failure; what angered her was Chen Yuling's attitude afterwards.
Chen Yuling didn't really like Fang Jiaxi because of Lin Chuxia, but she never expected to be assigned to Fang Jiaxi's group today.
While cleaning the pigsty together, she was exhausted from not sleeping all night and accidentally poked a piglet while cleaning, which led to them being attacked by the pig.
Fang Jiaxi and another group member were alright; they managed to leave the pigpen in time. But Chen Yuling was in a terrible situation; she was directly attacked by a pig.
The once gentle pigs suddenly turned ferocious, and the others dared not approach them any further, so they had no choice but to abandon the mission.
The mission was forced to be abandoned halfway. Although Fang Jiaxi was somewhat unhappy, what she really couldn't accept was Chen Yuling's attitude afterward. Chen Yuling actually blamed her and another team member for the incident.
An unpleasant incident occurred among the members. Although no one showed it on their faces, they all knew what was going on, and their speed in completing tasks slowed down considerably.
"I wish I had been drawn into your group," Fang Jiaxi sighed again.
...
Of the four groups, Lin Chuxia's group probably completed the task most smoothly, and the food they made was the most tempting, with perfect color, aroma, and taste.
Lin Chuxia prepared a cold dish of white flower salad, steamed pork ribs with white flower, stir-fried pork with white flower, and also stewed a pot of bone broth with white flower. It could be described as a complete white flower feast.
During the meal, Shen Jianshu realized that Lin Chuxia's earlier "it's alright" was just modesty; her cooking skills were worthy of a chef in a five-star hotel.
