Chapter 10 It's a Must
Qi Zhen and his team successfully got a portion of chicken breast. The following meat dishes were basically no pressure for them. They should take as many as they can, and it would be okay if they couldn't get any.
The second item of beef was auctioned, and the same bidding process was used. This time, all three groups participated in the bidding.
After Meng Chuyuan made his final bid, the other two groups stopped bidding. After all, their labor coins were limited, and competing for a piece of beef with 7 labor coins didn't seem very cost-effective.
In the end, Meng Chuyuan got a portion of beef for 7 labor coins.
After the beef was handed over to Meng Chuyuan's group, the program crew quickly brought out the fish. Everyone looked up in unison, and they could feel the pressure of competition through the screen.
[Fish! It's finally on the auction table! !]
[Oh my goodness, this fish must go to Coco's group, they don't have anything right now]
Qi Zhen also wants fish, what should I do? I like both him and Coco. If all else fails, I'll just have to cut the fish in half. I really don't know what to choose.
[Help, I feel like this auction is going to be intense]
When the director announced the start of the third round of bidding, Liao Jiake was the first to bid: "5 labor coins."
Qi Zhen: "6 labor coins."
When it was Meng Chuyuan's turn, she shouted without hesitation: "12 labor coins."
As soon as she opened her mouth, the whole audience fell silent. They didn't expect her to bid so high.
[Holy crap! 12 labor coins, is that really that much?]
[With so much food, she had to grab the fish. She must have done it on purpose.]
Did she just eavesdrop on the other two groups' conversation? Otherwise, why would she start snatching the fish?
[The vase should drink more water, what fish are you eating? Let others use it quickly.]
The director was stunned for a moment before coming to his senses and reminded with a small loudspeaker: "12 labor coins, anyone want one?"
Liao Jiake glanced at her sister. She had promised to buy her a fish, so she didn't want to give up at this moment. Just as she was about to raise her sign to bid, Liao Jiayan suddenly held her wrist and said with some disappointment, "Forget it, 12 coins is too much."
Liao Jiake was a little unwilling: "Try it, what if I can take a picture of it?"
"Can't you see that she's yelling so loudly on purpose? It just shows she's determined to get it."
Liao Jiake: “…”
On the other hand, Qi Yan also viewed this auction rationally. She reminded Qi Zhen: "Zhen, let's not bid anymore. Save some coins for other dishes."
Qi Zhen nodded in agreement: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
After the director called out 12 coins three times, he banged the hammer: "Deal!"
[What the hell? She was just letting him get the fish so easily?]
[No way, the goddess of luck actually lost]
With this unlucky woman like Meng around, it's probably going to be hard for Coco to change her luck.
[I'm so pissed off. Why is no one daring to compete with her? ]
How can we compete for this? The price is so high right from the start, it means you don’t want to leave any room for negotiation.
…
At the end of the auction, Meng Chuyuan's group finally got two meats and three vegetables. In addition to beef and fish, they also got lotus root, okra and corn.
Qi Zhen's team got chicken breast, ribs, and bok choy, while the rest of the ingredients belonged to Liao Jiake's team.
The director announced that today's mission had come to a temporary end. Everyone was about to go back to cook with the ingredients when suddenly Liao Jiake walked up to Meng Chuyuan.
Liao Jiake said a little embarrassedly: "Teacher Meng, can I trade your roast duck for fish? My sister wants to eat fish."
Meng Chuyuan raised an eyebrow: "Sorry, we won't exchange this fish."
【Look, is this what a human being says? 】
[Teacher Meng? ? Is she worthy? ]
[Keke, go away. Don't beg her. The roast duck is delicious too. There's no need to trade with her.]
[What are you bragging about? Who cares about her fish? Keke, run away and don't get close to her. It's bad luck.]
Seeing that she had no intention of giving in, Liao Jia retreated: "Sorry to bother you."
During the auction just now, Lu Jinsen stood next to Meng Chuyuan and did not participate at all, and he had no idea what Meng Chuyuan would do next.
But the fish was so eye-catching that it was hard to ignore.
Lu Jinsen was a little confused as to what Meng Chuyuan's purpose was in taking pictures of the fish, and why he was unwilling to exchange it with others.
On the way back, Lu Jinsen finally couldn't help but ask, "Do you like eating fish?"
Meng Chuyuan tilted his head and looked at him calmly: "It's okay, I don't want to eat today."
Lu Jinsen: “…”
[Don't want to eat? Then why did she take the picture? She has a lot of money, right? She'd rather waste it than give others a chance?]
Is she seriously ill? If she didn't want to eat, why didn't she give the fish to Coco?
[I really want to punch her. What the hell is she saying?]
Not only did the audience not understand, Lu Jinsen also couldn't see through her behavior and didn't even know what to say to her.
Meng Chuyuan seemed to be in a good mood. He was jumping as he walked and humming a little tune.
Suddenly, Meng Chuyuan turned into another intersection. Seeing this, Lu Jinsen hurriedly called out to her, "That's not the way back."
"Who said I'm going back?" Meng Chuyuan looked back at him, but kept walking.
Just as Lu Jinsen was about to ask her where she was going, he was interrupted by Meng Chuyuan's voice: "Grandma Zhang, I'm here to see you."
There is a family at the corner here, which can be considered as their neighbor. Meng Chuyuan and his family just moved into the adobe house yesterday, and they borrowed things from Grandma Zhang.
Grandma Zhang has difficulty walking and has to use a cane all year round. She likes to sit alone on a chair in the yard and daydream.
Seeing Meng Chuyuan appear, Grandma Zhang smiled kindly and even wanted to stand up from her chair to greet her.
"Just sit down. I came by to see you and will be back soon."
Lu Jinsen stood at the door, hesitating for a moment, but finally stepped inside and politely greeted Grandma Zhang when he saw her: "Hello, Grandma Zhang."
Grandma Zhang said incoherently, "Okay, okay."
"We got some meat and eggs from you yesterday, and today we'll give you a sea bass." As he said that, Meng Chuyuan picked up the fish in his hand and placed it on the small wooden table.
Meng Chuyuan: "This fish is still fresh. I've put it on the table for you."
Grandma Zhang was so moved that she was a little overwhelmed. She stretched out her wrinkled hand to hold Meng Chuyuan: "Thank you."
"We should be the ones thanking you for the trouble we caused you yesterday."
Seeing this scene, the audience in the live broadcast room was not calm, and fans ran out to post comments:
[I'm sorry, I misunderstood Sister Meng. I thought she was just showing off her wealth and bought the fish blindly. But it turns out that the fish was meant for Grandma Zhang...]
[My language was extreme just now, I apologize]
[Oh my god, I suddenly feel like crying! What’s going on?]
I miss my grandma. I haven’t been back home due to the pandemic. I feel like crying.
[Sister Meng still has some kindness in her]
I apologize for my reckless behavior just now.
Lu Jinsen is quite polite. Suddenly, I feel like he's a little bit handsome.
