Chapter 24: A Trip to the Mountain Brings a Rich Harvest
After Meng Chuyuan carefully picked the matsutake mushrooms, everyone continued their search with full confidence.
The location they were currently in had not been mined before, so it didn't take long for them to find an area with a large number of mushrooms and harvested quite a few.
At this time, the remaining two groups were still busy with the hidden mission.
The program team asked them to deliver cookies to nearby villagers, and the task would only be considered successful if the villagers eat the cookies and then say the name of the variety show in full.
Qi Zhen brought five cookies to visit the villagers and successfully got them to eat the cookies. Because they could not give the villagers hints about the name of the variety show, when he asked the question, no one could answer it, so the mission failed.
Liao Jiake's group was relatively lucky. She debuted early, and the title of household name was not an exaggeration. Moreover, the people she met were young people of about her age, including her fans. After eating the cookies, she gave the correct answer very smoothly.
In the end, Liao Jiake was given the task of breaking the corn, and Qi Zhen and the others had to clean up the chicken farm.
After the Shuangqi siblings failed in their mission, they had no choice but to head to the chicken farm. They smelled ammonia from a distance.
Qi Yan subconsciously took out a mask from her pocket and quickly put it on herself. However, the closer she got, the stronger the smell became, and even the mask couldn't block it out.
The person in charge of the chicken farm led the way, explaining the cleaning process to them: "We have to pick up the eggs before we clean up, and we have to settle the chickens. We can clean up after we have cleared the site."
Qi Zhen said calmly, "I'd like to ask approximately how many chickens there are?"
The person in charge calmly responded: "There are more than 2,000."
“…” He had originally planned to go mushroom picking, but Qi Yan insisted on taking a gamble, and then he lost.
Things have come to this point, Qi Zhen can only accept this result.
Qi Zhen: "How are we going to accommodate so many chickens?"
"You can drive the chickens out. Our orchard is under closed management."
When they were about to enter the venue, Qi Yan suddenly stopped and stood outside the door without coming in.
"Sister, what's wrong with you? Are you not feeling well?" After Qi Zhen found out that she had fallen behind, he turned back to look for her.
Seeing that Qi Yan was not in a good condition, the audience in the live broadcast room also began to care about her condition:
What's wrong, sister? Are you catching a cold? I feel like my forehead is sweating.
[I feel uncomfortable when I work, and it seems strange and pretentious]
[Yanyan, if you feel unwell, just rest! Don’t force yourself.]
[Looks like Brother Qi Zhen will have to work hard to herd the chickens all by himself again. There are over 2,000 of them! Not just two...]
When Qi Yan spoke, her voice trembled: "I'm a little afraid of animals with sharp beaks."
Qi Zhen was silent for two or three seconds before speaking: "We will clear the area soon. We will not have any contact with them."
Qi Zhen probably felt that it was pointless to say anything more, so he simply gave up. He sighed and said, "Then you stay outside. I'll go inside and clear the place."
Not long after Qi Zhen went in, Qi Yan suddenly heard a chaotic clucking sound outside, followed by a group of chickens running out from inside, scaring her so much that she didn't know where to hide.
Soon the orchard was occupied by chickens. In order to keep a distance from them, Qi Yan could only hold her breath and go in to find Qi Zhen.
at the same time……
Meng Chuyuan and his friends saw that they had almost picked all the mushrooms and were preparing to go down the mountain.
However, when they were about to return the same way, Meng Chuyuan's attention was suddenly attracted by the scenery in front of him.
"Wait for me for a moment."
Lu Jinsen looked back at her and asked curiously, "Where are you going?"
He saw Meng Chuyuan carrying the basket and going forward, and there was no way he could call her back.
After a while, Lu Jinsen said to the villagers, "Let's go first."
"No, if we leave, what if she doesn't know the way?" The villagers didn't listen to Lu Jinsen's advice. Instead, they scolded him, "You're a grown man, but you're so tall. How could you just leave your sister in the mountains?"
Lu Jinsen: “…”
[That’s right, Lu Jinsen, what kind of man are you?]
[Lu Jinsen, Lu Jinsen, have you forgotten about Sister Meng's breakfast today? How dare you just leave like that?]
"Master, this is wrong. It's not kind to leave like this. She's your sister-in-law after all. What will you do if she's missing? Are you going to make your brother a widower?"
[Hahahaha, aren't you guys a team? Who was the one who was so angry yesterday and insisted on emphasizing this, and now you're denying it?]
[Everyone in the village knows they have to wait for Sister Meng, but you want to leave. How unreasonable!]
The villagers looked at him with dismay and said, "Let's go and check on her. We're really worried she might be lost."
Meng Chuyuan actually saw something red here just now, so she thought there should be wild fruits, but it was too far away and she was not sure, so she came over in person.
When Meng Chuyuan got closer, she realized that she was not mistaken. There was a wild hawthorn tree in front of her, full of fruits.
She saw that the fruit was growing well and was of good quality, so she wanted to pick some to take home.
When Lu Jinsen and the others rushed over, they were stunned.
I didn’t expect that such a good hawthorn tree could grow in this desolate mountain.
Lu Jinsen recovered and became curious: "Why are you picking this?"
"I love to pick them, is it any of your business?"
“…” Well, he was talking too much.
Meng Chuyuan not only picked wild hawthorns, she also picked up a lot of pine cones on the way down the mountain. Her own basket couldn't hold them all, so she requisitioned Lu Jinsen's.
[Help, is this the joy of being a jungler?]
[Watching this group’s live broadcast room is really healing. I feel relaxed all over.]
[Sister Meng always comes back with a lot of rewards every time she goes on a mission. Woohoo! It's another day of worshipping the boss.]
Seeing Sister Meng’s basket overflowing with dried goods makes me want to go back home and start my own business. Maybe I can make more money selling these than I did at the factory!
Meng Chuyuan and his team came back from picking mushrooms, while the other two groups were still busy.
Liao Jiake hoeed the fields yesterday afternoon and her hands were blistered. Now she has to grit her teeth and persevere while cracking corn.
Qi Zhen and his sister were still picking eggs in the chicken farm. The farm was large and there were a lot of fallen eggs. They were so busy that they could hardly straighten their backs.
After coming down from the mountain, Meng Chuyuan and Lu Jinsen went to the starting point set by the program team to punch in. Their group completed the morning's task and received 50 labor coins.
Since it was not yet time to exchange ingredients, Meng Chuyuan's group could not proceed to the next step for the time being and could only sit down and wait for the other two groups to complete their tasks and return.
An hour and a half later, Liao Jiake's team came back after breaking the corn. About twenty minutes later, Qi Zhen's team also came back from the chicken farm.
[Who would have thought that Sister Meng and Lu Jinsen had been back from the mountains for nearly two hours]
[I thought picking corn was easy at first, but picking mushrooms was the fastest, hahahahahaha]
Qi Zhen was the worst off. His sister didn't help at all. He had to clear the field by himself and clean up the chickens' droppings.
