“I asked him when I went to Yueheng’s school yesterday. He was worried about tiring us out, so when we ordered food yesterday, he said we could use whatever ingredients were available there and that they wouldn’t be picky.”
“We happen to have some freshly picked green beans and some pork belly here. Why don’t you make them some braised pork?”
Teacher He walked up and interjected with a smile.
"Alright... but the green beans from September are a bit too old, so we'll have to put in some effort when stewing them."
Upon hearing Teacher He's arrangement, Huang Lei casually remarked while tidying up the cookware.
"Hey, Dahua, could you chop some firewood for me? Try to make it as small as possible so we can get the fire going quickly."
"If Yue Heng isn't too busy, he can help Da Hua out."
"Teacher He helped me pick the green beans, and I still need to cut the meat."
Immediately afterwards, Huang Lei began assigning tasks to everyone present.
"Okay!"
Teacher He, standing next to Huang Lei, responded loudly.
"And what about Teacher He and me?"
As a guest, Zhao Ying looked at He Jiong somewhat at a loss and asked.
As this was also her first time receiving an appearance fee to participate in a variety show, she was afraid that she wouldn't perform well enough and would be ridiculed by the audience after the show aired.
"You two can just sit under the shade and rest, walk the dog or soak up the sun."
"If all else fails, you can sing us a song to showcase your talent."
Huang Lei, who was setting up the pot, turned his head and glanced at the two girls, grinning as he spoke.
"No, it would be embarrassing if I came here and didn't do any work. I grew up in the countryside, so I can do some simple farm work."
Upon hearing that Huang Lei had told her to sit and rest under the shade of the pavilion, Zhao Ying quickly agreed.
At the same time, a sense of doubt arose in my mind.
She clearly received a fee to participate in the variety show.
It feels like someone else is paying to treat you to a vacation at their farmhouse.
"Sister Zhao Ying, why don't you come and chop firewood with us, okay?"
"Perfect timing, I can teach you how to chop wood."
Upon hearing this, Liu Huaxian, who was walking towards a pile of firewood, turned around and invited Zhao Ying to join him.
He couldn't wait to show off the wood-chopping skills he had just learned the day before.
"OK!"
Upon hearing Liu Huaxian's invitation, Zhao Ying quickly took a brand-new pair of work gloves from the staff on the sidelines and put them on.
Wang Yueheng and Mo Zixue, who were standing nearby, each took a pair of gloves and stood guard beside Da Hua, waiting for him to demonstrate how to chop wood.
"Heh, Da Hua has become a wood-chopping teacher so quickly."
"You'd better hurry! Our firewood will burn very quickly, so we need to replenish it in time, otherwise the stewed meat will be undercooked and won't taste good."
After exchanging a glance with Teacher He, Huang Lei, who was cutting meat, deliberately reminded him loudly.
"Teacher Huang Lei, rest assured and leave it to us. The wood-chopping team, move out!"
As soon as Huang Lei finished speaking, Liu Huaxian's energetic and slightly exaggerated voice came from the courtyard.
He took off his coat, revealing a black vest underneath.
"Sister Zhao Ying, watch closely! This wood-chopping motion requires a lot of skill!"
Then Liu Huaxian pulled out a rather heavy axe from somewhere and swung it around in a rather professional manner.
He tried to demonstrate to Zhao Ying, who was standing in front of a thick log.
As the axe was raised, Liu Huaxian's biceps were clearly visible to everyone, exuding a powerful aura.
"Wow! Hua Xian is so handsome!"
"Those muscles are making my heart flutter!"
"You must really work out a lot!"
"Listen up, the wood-chopping expert, Teacher Da Hua, is starting his class!"
"Shouldn't we let Heng, who is a guest, demonstrate it first?"...
