Chapter 223
"Peppa, come sit down."
Chu Huaiqin put his arm around Paige's shoulders and pushed her down. When he bent down, he realized that they didn't have a chair.
When Peppa saw that she was saved, she laughed and said, "Chu, no, that's not necessary. I'll come back when you have a chair."
"Don't be impatient," Chu Huaiqin let go of his hand and squatted down, warming his hands next to the hot pot. "Don't you want to know how I got the food?"
Paige's eyes lit up immediately. She squatted beside Chu Huaiqin with a smile and asked ingratiatingly, "How do I change it?"
"Wait," Paige suddenly thought, and looked at Chu Huaiqin warily, "Are you up to something bad? Or do you want a trade?"
"What are you talking about? Am I that kind of person?" Chu Huaiqin raised his lower lip and continued, "You have to know that I have always been a good person. How could I do something like that?"
Paige: “…”
"Hahaha, brother, you automatically forgot about asking for the fare."
"Thank you for the invitation, dear brother, seven seconds of memory."
"Don't talk, listen to what your brother has to say."
Chu Huaiqin: "Actually, the exchange of food is..."
Peppa Pig: "Where?"
Chu Huaiqin smiled: "You have to promise me that after you get the food..."
Chu Huaiqin muttered something in Paige's ear. Just as he finished speaking, his shoulder was held down by a force that forced him to pull back uncontrollably. It was Xia En, who had a gloomy face and was holding a bowl in his hand.
Chu Huaiqin was a little confused. He saw Xia En bent down, picked up the boiling pot and poured a bowl of water into it. Then he walked between Chu Huaiqin and Paige, squatted down, and pushed the unsuspecting Paige to stagger and sit on the ice.
Paige: “…”
"Drink some water," Xia En passed the bowl to Chu Huaiqin. Seeing the playful smile on Chu Huaiqin's face, he murmured, "I saw you curling your lips just now."
"Ahhh, here you go again, spreading dog food."
"Hahaha, poor Peppa, what an eyesore."
"Peppa, come on, kick over their dog food."
"Am I the only one who wants to know what my brother said to Paige? I always feel like my brother is up to something bad."
"My bad brother is also very cute, ahhh, don't give it to Xia Entang, damn it."
"Chu," Paige moved, ran to squat opposite Chu Huaiqin, with an unbearable expression on her face, and said: "I promise you, where can I exchange food?"
"In that village, only the village chief speaks English." Chu Huaiqin wondered if the production team had set this strategy for them from the start. Just like a video game NPC, if you ask the right person, you'll get a response. If you ask the wrong person, you'll be hunted down.
However, the production team didn’t say anything. What they wanted was a real program effect.
"So that's how it is. Then how do I find the village chief?" Paige really wanted to ask Chu Huaiqin how he knew, but what was more important was the food.
“When you enter the village, the only two-story house is his.”
"Okay, Chu, thank you. I will definitely complete your task perfectly."
As soon as he finished speaking, he ran away.
"Brother, brother, we are back." The little monk trotted back with Lin Zhinan in his hand, holding a paper bag, which should be medicine.
"Everyone's here, and we're hungry." Edward squatted aside and said leisurely, staring at the bag of flour in his hand with a fierce look in his eyes. Pancakes, pancakes, pancakes...
Chu Huaiqin looked at the time. It was already nine o'clock in the evening. They had eaten lunch at 12:30 in the afternoon. They had been moving ice and building walls, and had not eaten anything except hot water.
"Let's make dumpling soup and fish soup!" said Chu Huaiqin.
"Ah? Not eating pancakes?" Edward said in disbelief.
"We have limited fish and can't change the oil yet, so we have to focus on the most important things first." Chu Huaiqin turned around and asked the returning monk, "How is the wound?"
"The doctor said that your cheek bone is not injured and it will be fine after applying medicine for a few days." The little monk breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the doctor's words.
Chu Huaiqin said to the little monk, "That's good. You know how to make pimple soup, right? Slice the fish and make the soup."
"Yes," the little monk nodded. Seeing Chu Huaiqin walking out, he asked in surprise, "Brother, where are you going?"
"I'm going to collect the fishing nets." I'll collect them again tonight, set the nets, and collect them again tomorrow.
"I'm going too." Xia En ran over with the pot, handed it to the little monk, and hurried to catch up.
Edward rolled his eyes and ran over: "Wait for me."
“Bang, bang, bang!”
The sound of snowmobiles could be heard, and Page happily rode off to exchange for supplies. The second batch of nets was also raised, but unfortunately, there were only a few fish, only three. Page emerged with a few smelt and a cod. Everyone was hungry now, and without salt in their food, they couldn't sleep in such cold weather.
The people in Team B watched Paige drive away. After discussion, they decided to go and fish out the net to see if there were any other fish, except the one Ilona caught, and exchange them for food.
Chu Huaiqin and the other two arrived at the beach and rowed their boat to find the net. This time, with Xia Entang and Edward joining them, the net was quickly hauled in. Unfortunately, there were only two fish weighing over a pound each.
The three of them discussed it, set up their net at another place, and rowed back in the boat.
"What a nice smell, what a nice smell." Edward smelled the aroma of pasta from a distance, and immediately left the two people behind and rushed back.
Chu Huaiqin and the others also returned to the camp quickly. With the addition of two fish, the meal became a very sumptuous one.
The hot dumpling soup has white and tender noodles as big as a spoon rolling around in it, and the white and tender fish fillets are emitting an enticing aroma.
Edward leaned in closer and was pleasantly surprised at the fish soup, surprised that even without any other spices, the fish didn't smell fishy at all.
Each person has a bowl. The fish fillets are taken out and placed on the lid of the pot which is turned upside down to serve as a plate. There is still fire burning underneath so that it will not get cold. You can eat it with salt.
"God, that dough is so delicious and fragrant. How is it made?" Edward took a bite and his eyes widened. It was so delicious, chewy and fragrant.
Chu Huaiqin took a sip of the soup and thought that the little monk’s cooking skills were really good. If there was no salt, it would be much worse.
"God, it's delicious, delicious. Did you make the little monk or did the little girl do it? It's delicious, and the soup is tasty too." Edward praised it endlessly. He picked up a piece of fish with a fork, dipped it in salt, and ate until his eyes were dizzy.
I was drooling watching Edward eating so happily in the live broadcast room.
Foreign audience: "What is this? Is it really that delicious?"
Domestic audience: "Delicious and different, very delicious, the little monk's skills are amazing, I didn't expect he could make dumplings so well."
"Ahhh, I want to eat that fish fillet the most. This is real cod fillet, freshly caught from the Arctic Ocean. The flavor and texture are absolutely top-notch."
"The most high-end ingredients often only require the simplest cooking methods. Boil the fish fillets in water and dip them in salt. Ahhhh, I can do that."
"My saliva has soaked the keyboard. Don't just focus on eating, tell me how delicious it is!"
It was so drooling watching the live broadcast, but these people hadn't eaten for almost nine hours. They cut ice, moved ice, and worked all day. Now that they had something to eat, how could they have time to talk?
After they had finished clearing the food, everyone heard the sound of Paige's car returning. Paige exchanged for something similar to Chu Huaiqin's, both salt and flour. He was very ostentatious and shouted to their camp when he returned, "We have salt and flour."
When Ilona came back from fishing for the second time and heard it, she immediately went to find Paige and asked him about exchanging food.
"Hahaha, the residents here are very friendly, just go and change."
"How do I change it?"
"Show them the fish and they'll know," Page replied.
Inwardly, he was laughing. Chu had asked him to deliberately go to Group B and encourage them to exchange food without telling them where to do it. Of course, he could complete such a simple task. Now that he didn't look for them, he came here on his own.
"I understand." Ilona waved her hand. After a while, Alexander drove a snowmobile and took Ilona to exchange food.
In fact, Ilona wanted Liman to go with her. In their team, Liman had the highest combat power and was also good-looking. Unfortunately, when Ilona went to call him, he was rejected, which made Ilona so angry that she almost yelled. Liman almost fought with her. It was not gentlemanly at all. Ilona had no choice but to say Alexander. Besides Liman, he was the one with the highest combat power here.
Although this person is violent, this is also a good thing. No one dares to mess with her.
The five of them worked together very efficiently. It took Xia En and his team half a day to cut through two layers of the ice wall, but they only took two hours to cut through one layer. It was eleven o'clock in the evening, and even though it was not dark yet, it was time to rest.
However, someone didn't let them rest.
Alexander returned in a panic with Ilona on a snowmobile. Ilona still had a wound on her face. When he came back, he angrily ran to find Paige to ask for an explanation.
When they went to exchange food, they were not only surrounded by people, but also chased by dogs. It was disgusting.
Ilona yelled at Peppa Pig about the horrific incident she'd encountered, while many viewers in the livestream were gloating. Ilona, a true princess, arrived at the village just before 10 p.m. and began banging on the door, as if seeking revenge. When a sleeping resident emerged, Ilona began to speak. Unable to understand, the resident, annoyed, tried to close the door, but the young woman simply jammed the door shut and thrust her fish inside, unleashing a rant that infuriated the resident and pushed her.
This push was so bad that the local residents chased Ilona and the others and beat them. Alexander wanted to fight, but Anthony had said before that there were local residents here and he couldn't clash with them, let alone hurt anyone.
Since he couldn't attack the locals, Alexander could only hold his temper. Ilona wanted to attack them regardless, but the other side had more people and dogs, so the two of them were naturally driven into hiding.
Ilona said angrily: "Can I change it even if you don't tell me?"
Paige said innocently: "Of course."
Ilona couldn't understand: "Then why did the other party hit me?"
"Oh, is that so? I don't know. The place I went to exchange it was the same place Chu exchanged it. Although they didn't understand what I said, they exchanged it for me immediately after I took out the fish." Paige looked confused.
The live broadcast room was filled with laughter. Paige's acting is really good. It's a loss for Hollywood if she doesn't win an Oscar.
"Chu, is it Chu from Group A?" Ilona screamed in disbelief.
"Yeah, he's a very nice guy. Why don't you go ask him?" Paige suggested sincerely.
"Of course I have to go find him. It must be about that little girl. This is his trap. Damn it." Ilona angrily dragged Alexander to Camp A, and she was already imagining how to make Chu Huaiqin kneel down and apologize.
