Chapter 136 Getting Ready to Sell Fruit
Next, it was time for each group of guests to prepare lunch.
After returning to their respective kitchens, Pei Yanchuan and Hou Yunqi calmly prepared the ingredients.
Pei Yanchuan arranged for Xu Wang to sit on the sofa in the living room and watch TV. Pei Yanchuan also made him a glass of freshly squeezed juice and washed some fruit for him to have something to eat first.
Xu Wang saw that after Pei Yanchuan returned to the kitchen, he didn't look at the TV in front of him. Instead, he leaned against the back of the sofa and looked towards the kitchen.
This scene is so heartwarming.
[No matter how many times I watch it, I'm still amazed; President Pei is truly incredibly capable.]
[Indeed, handsome, successful, a great cook, and incredibly gentle and considerate—I could never dream of someone like that.]
[President Pei's service was truly impeccable; he even provided juice while I watched TV.]
[Except for President Pei and Old Hou, who are enjoying a peaceful time, the other groups are a complete mess (difficult to manage).]
Pei Yanchuan prepared four dishes and a soup for lunch: braised pork, Mapo tofu, hot and sour shredded potatoes, stir-fried water spinach, and vegetable and egg soup.
Seeing Pei Yanchuan serving dishes, Xu Wang went into the kitchen to get bowls and chopsticks, and then brought out the rice.
Pei Yanchuan did not stop him. Instead, he picked up the bowl that Xu Wang had taken out, filled it with soup, and placed it in front of his seat.
Meanwhile, in the kitchen outside the wooden house, flames suddenly burst from the pot, startling everyone.
Jiang Xiubai jumped more than ten steps away from where he stood. He stared in shock at the pot in front of him, seemingly not understanding why it had suddenly caught fire, and why it was burning so brightly.
Just when everyone was at a loss, Yunxi turned off the gas, picked up the pot lid with a damp cloth, and put it on, extinguishing the fire instantly.
"Alright, you just poured too much oil. Don't open it now, it might reignite. Wait five or six minutes for the oil to cool down before you open the lid," Yunxi said while washing her hands.
[I've learned something! I've learned something! Quickly write it down in your notebook.]
I basically don't use any oil when I fry steaks.
[Some fatty steaks don't need oil, but if the steak is leaner, you'll still need to add a little oil, but not too much.]
[Luckily, Yunxi reacted quickly, otherwise I was afraid the fire would have gotten even bigger.]
[The instant the fire ignited, Jiang Xiubai took off from the spot (screenshot: Jiang Xiubai jumped 1 meter high)]
[Wow, that sister's typing speed is amazing! I didn't even have time to react; I was just too scared.]
………………
Gu Yunlan and Qin Huai's preparations went smoothly without any major issues, as all their dishes were boiled.
Gu Yunlan looked at the skinned boiled chicken leg in front of him, feeling like crying. After the movie was finished, he was determined to rest for a few months and make up for all the delicious food he had eaten.
Leng Yifan and Zhong Ran prepared a table full of dark, unappetizing dishes, almost all of which were marinated in soy sauce. The food was so overpoweringly sweet that they ended up eating steamed buns with water, barely managing to fill their stomachs.
After lunch, the guests took a one-hour nap.
We gathered at the village chief's house again in the afternoon.
The director and assistant director had been waiting in the middle of the courtyard for a long time, with fresh fruit picked by the guests that morning placed beside them.
"Dear teachers, our task this afternoon is to carry the fruit we picked this morning to the market to sell. The money we earn can be considered as your travel funds." The director's words were clearly transmitted to each guest through the microphone.
"Ah! If I had known it would be like this, I would have picked more this morning." Yunxi felt like she had missed out on a fortune; that was all money!
Xu Wang's eyes lit up; their basket had an advantage in terms of quantity.
Before setting off, Xu Wang asked the director for another basket, wanting to take half of the fruit from Pei Yanchuan's basket.
But before Xu Wang could even take a sip, Pei Yanchuan stopped him again.
"That's enough." Pei Yanchuan said, easily lifting the basket, which still had more than half a bunch of fruit left on the ground, onto his back.
Xu Wang helplessly picked up the pitifully light basket in his hand; it was as if they hadn't been divided at all.
Where is Qinghe Village? Is it near me?
[I can't take it anymore. It seems like it's close to my home, but I'm at work right now (crying uncontrollably^)]
[Can't go to work!]
[Any girls want to buy this for me? Could you bring me two pounds to try?]
[Hehe, I happen to be nearby, great! I'll get up right now, get ready, and head out.]
[I'm so envious, jealous, and resentful!]
Xu Wang and his companions followed the local villagers to the market. The market was not particularly far from the village, about 2km away, and it would take about 20 minutes to walk there.
The group arrived at the bustling market, where many villagers had already set up stalls, mostly selling fruit, as vegetable vendors mostly arrived in the morning.
The production team had already prepared a location for each group of guests to set up their stalls.
Xu Wang and Pei Yanchuan's stall was located in a shady spot.
