Chapter 122 Transmigrating and Encountering the "Gossip System" (Online 8)
While they were scrambling over the braised pork, someone exclaimed, "Wow! I absolutely love this braised shrimp! Waaah, Yuxi girl, can you make this for me every day from now on?"
Seeing Huang Yaohui's exaggerated reaction, Liu Yuxi quickly told the others, "I added a tiny bit of spice to the braised prawns!" She was mainly referring to Zhang Hanyu and Wang Xiyi, although everyone had said they could handle a little spice during their earlier conversation.
Seeing Huang Yaohui's exaggerated expression, everyone reached for the braised prawns with their chopsticks again. "Wow! It's really delicious!" Wang Xiyi glanced at Liu Yingdi but still didn't say she wanted to freeload, since Liu Yingdi's cooking skills looked pretty good too.
Liu Yuxi tried the tomato beef brisket and green pepper beef stir-fry made by Liu Yingdi, as well as the dry-fried green beans made by Zhao Kai. They all tasted good, but she didn't touch the mushroom and vegetable dish. She ate mushrooms and vegetables, but she didn't eat mushrooms and vegetables.
Huang Yaohui showed everyone what a true rice-eating man and rice-eating soul is! After finishing the braised pork, he used the broth to soak rice. By the time everyone had finished eating, there was no rice left that Liu Yuxi had prepared to use for fried rice the next morning.
After cleaning the kitchen, Huang Yaohui and the other two chatted in the living room for a while before going back to their rooms to wash up and rest.
The next morning, Liu Yuxi did some simple stretching, washed up, and went downstairs to make breakfast.
I cooked a pot of millet and pumpkin porridge, made some egg pancakes, and there was also bread, eggs, and milk in the kitchen! Some of them don't eat egg pancakes and porridge, but they can eat them.
When the show started at 8 o'clock, everyone got up and went downstairs one after another, ate breakfast according to their own preferences, and then followed the production crew's car to their respective teams' mission locations.
On the way, Huang Yaohui said to Liu Yuxi, "Yuxi, when we get there, I'll climb the tree to pick apples, and you can catch them from below." "Okay!" Liu Yuxi agreed with a smile. You're lucky to have someone carry your load.
The villa was located in the suburbs, very close to the village. In less than ten minutes, Liu Yuxi and his group arrived at the apple orchard, where local fruit farmers were already waiting.
After Liu Yuxi and Huang Yaohui greeted the uncle and aunt, the uncle and aunt explained to them what kind of apples to pick, how many to pick, how much to sell them for per pound in town, and how to weigh them. Once everything was explained, the uncle and aunt went about their own business.
Then, Huang Yaohui and Liu Yuxi began to divide the work. Huang Yaohui used a ladder to climb up the tree, picked the apples he had targeted in advance, and handed them to the net that Liu Yuxi was holding out from under the tree. The net was tied with a bamboo pole, and the length of the bamboo pole was adjusted according to the distance.
The two divided the work, and the progress was quite fast. The main time-consuming part was finding suitable apples. After Huang Yaohui climbed the tree, Liu Yuxi would circle around under the tree to check for suitable apples and then talk to Huang Yaohui.
In two hours, Huang Yaohui and Liu Yuxi picked three baskets of apples—the kind of large baskets, each weighing about 200 jin (100 catties). After resting for a while and drinking some water, they borrowed an electric tricycle from an uncle and aunt and drove the three baskets of apples to town.
It was Liu Yuxi who drove it. Yes, Huang Yaohui can ride a motorcycle, but he can't drive a tricycle. He can't keep the handlebars steady. There are many people like that in real life. Luckily, Liu Yuxi has this skill.
Huang Yaohui sat in the back of the car, looking a little aggrieved and frustrated.
The live chat comment read: "I'm going to die laughing at Wong Yiu-fai on this show sooner or later!"
"You would never guess that Wong Yiu-fai has this kind of personality when he's singing!"
"Huang Yaohui contributed my latest batch of memes!"
But the carefree child didn't need to be coaxed. As soon as they arrived in town, he was full of energy again. He jumped off the car and, together with Liu Yuxi, moved the apples to the ground and took out the electronic scale and plastic bags that the uncle and aunt had prepared.
Perhaps because it was his first time setting up a stall, Huang Yaohui was very excited. After observing how others were hawking their wares, he started shouting in front of his stall: "Fresh apples, 3 yuan a pound! Freshly picked apples, if they're not sweet, you don't have to pay!"
Liu Yuxi stood behind the stall, smiling as she watched him hawk his wares; the early autumn sun was warm.
Comment: "That's my lost youth!"
"Ahhh! This scene really touched me! More than 20 years have passed in the blink of an eye!"
"Does anyone have good writing skills? Here's a pen, expand on this!"
"Am I the only one who thinks Liu Yuxi looks at Huang Yaohui like he's looking at a junior?"
"Do you still consider Huang Yaohui to be of the same generation?"
Liu Yuxi did feel that as she traveled through more and more worlds, although her emotions had faded, her experience was undeniable. She was now basically in a state of "acting" all the time, sometimes subconsciously and sometimes deliberately.
Just now, Huang Yaohui unintentionally revealed his true thoughts. She really thinks it's good to be young, because young people have unlimited energy.
They worked quickly; apples were 3 yuan per jin (0.5 kg), and in just over two hours, they sold all three baskets, earning about 2000 yuan. Since they hadn't received their wages yet, they had no money and had to return to the village to settle their payment.
After receiving 200 yuan, the uncle and aunt gave them a big bag of apples. Liu Yuxi took the money and Huang Yaohui carried the apples, preparing to take the program crew's car to town to buy groceries first.
After asking Huang Yaohui's opinion, the two decided to grab a quick bite in town first, since it was past lunchtime, before buying groceries for dinner.
Each person had a bowl of mutton soup, Liu Yuxi had a baked bun, and Huang Yaohui had two. The meal cost 30 yuan, leaving them with 170 yuan. Besides dinner, they also needed to prepare ingredients for tomorrow morning. If there was any left over, they could consider saving some, since the production team was being unreasonable.
They bought five jin of rice, two jin of flour, and a tube of noodles, spending 40 yuan. Yes, except for oil, salt, and seasonings, which they didn't have to prepare themselves, they had to buy everything else. Huang Yaohui didn't complain, only saying that he wanted to eat meat.
Liu Yuxi went to the meat stall again. The ribs were too expensive, so she bought a pound of pork belly instead. She also bought half a pound of tenderloin, which cost 35 yuan. She bought a pound of green peppers, two pounds of eggs, a pound of tomatoes, and a pound of water bamboo, which cost 36 yuan. She bought a piece of silken tofu for one yuan. She would have egg and tofu soup for dinner.
We'll eat apples for fruit, and we can also exchange supplies with other groups. Liu Yuxi estimates that Zhao Kai and Zhang Hanyu's group might bring back fish, while Liu Yingdi and Wang Xiyi's group might bring back cured meat and sausages.
Liu Yuxi and Huang Yaohui were having a great time discussing things. With the remaining 58 yuan in their pockets, the two took a car back to the "Heartbeat House".
After putting their things down inside, the first thing the two did was go back inside to shower and wash their hair. They had been in the orchard for over two hours, especially Huang Yaohui, who had been constantly climbing up and down the trees. He was not only dirty but also had many small cuts on his body. Liu Yuxi could only say that this kid was really unpretentious for persevering.
