After more than two hours of climbing and wading, everyone finally saw the sparkling lake. A group of people hugged each other and cheered.
Ye Fan quickly found an open space by the forest and asked them to settle in, put away their bags and pack their belongings.
There were many people who didn't even know how to assemble the tent brackets, so Ye Fan had to teach them step by step, sighing: "You open your mouth when you are eating at home, and stretch out your hands when you are wearing clothes. Now you know how hard it is to do it yourself, right?"
Wu Yijing panicked and shouted for help: "Brother Ye, how should I connect the buttons of this pole?"
Ye Fan immediately dropped the young actor.
"Xiao Zhong, I see that you have amazing bones and you must be a genius at setting up tents. You can think about it slowly for yourself first, and I won't hinder you!"
After saying that, he ran towards the group of girls.
Next to the original lake is a large piece of short grassland, and further away is a large beach.
Everyone was stationed on the grass and set up small tents one by one.
At this time, it was already past noon, and it took more than three hours to set up the tent, ten of which were done by Ye Fan himself.
It's not that girls like Shangguan Ya and Zi Ling'er can't learn it, they're simply too lazy to do it.
After setting up the last tent, Ye Fan felt his head was dizzy. He turned around and saw a bunch of girls gathered together, holding snacks in their hands, chatting away while eating.
Not only the girls, but also Fang Long and Yang Bin rarely started a fight, but got together to smoke and spank.
"You bastards, you see I've been tired for so long and you still don't come to help me?!"
Ye Fan was furious, ran to Zi Ling'er who was closest to him, snatched the hamburger and Coke in front of her, and stuffed it into her mouth.
"It's not good for little girls to eat these deep-fried foods, so I'll do it for you!"
No one had lunch, so they just ate the snacks they brought.
However, in fact, everyone had almost eaten for a long time, but Ye Fan had been busy working and did not eat.
Zi Ling'er looked at Ye Fan blankly, and suddenly smiled, thinking in her heart, Ye Fan is just like a child! Forget it, he is already full anyway, just give these to him!
Immediately, Zi Ling'er didn't talk to Ye Fan, lowered her head to read the novel, and did not join in the chat with the girls Shangguan Ya and Wu Yijing.
Ye Fan could see that Shangguanya and the others were in a group of their own, and they were obviously rejecting Zi Ling'er.
But Zi Ling'er didn't care and was doing her own thing.
Unexpectedly, Ye Fan finished Zi Ling'er's three burgers, two fried chicken legs, three bags of French fries, and a large bottle of Coke in one go. Then he slowly breathed a sigh of relief, patted his belly and started smoking with satisfaction.
When Zi Ling'er turned her head, the expression on her face became quite wonderful.
By accident, Ye Fan actually ate all the food!
Suddenly, Zi Linger shouted angrily, "Ye Fan, are you the reincarnation of a starving ghost?! You have eaten all my dry food today and tomorrow... What should I do!"
Ye Fan laughed and said, "Didn't you bring kitchen utensils? Come on, I'll treat you to dinner. Just wait and eat good food!"
Shangguan Ya was immediately overjoyed, clapped his hands and shouted: "Wow, wow, let's see what delicious food Brother Ye Fan can make for us!"
Ye Fan patted his butt and looked at his watch. At three o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was still high in the sky and there was no tendency for the sun to set in the evening. "The weather is very good today!"
With that said, Ye Fan turned around, looked around, and shouted loudly: "How many of you brought pots?!"
After the words fell, Yang Bin's follower Chen Kang and the two actors raised their hands, "Brother Ye, I'll take it!"
"Okay, there are a total of eighteen of us, six of us form a small team. In the evening we will hold a picnic cooking competition to see who can take first place!"
As soon as they heard about the picnic, everyone immediately cheered.
When it comes to holding a picnic contest, everyone is mobilized.
Now that there were three pots, Ye Fan divided everyone into three groups.
Chen Kang was naturally in a group with Yang Bin. In order to fill the room, they even invited Shangguan Ya, but unfortunately Shangguan Ya didn't like them at all.
There was no other way, so Yang Bin had to drag two young actors over to help.
"Okay, now each group sends someone to collect firewood, while the others are looking for stones by the lake to build a stove!
Be careful, people collecting firewood don’t go too far. Although there are no wild animals here, there are snakes, so be careful!"
Ye Fan clapped his hands and turned to look at Shangguan Ya, Zi Ling'er and the girls, "Just in time, the six of us will form a group!"
"Humph, Brother Ye, you saw that we brought a lot of things, so you want to come and eat and drink, right?" Deng Qianqian blinked.
"Um... didn't you say I'll do it later?" Ye Fan clapped his hands and said, "Okay, okay, girls, start working quickly, wait and see how brother shows off his skills!"
Deng Qianqian curled her lips, then ran to Yang Bin, "Yang Bin, how did you set up the stove?"
Yang Bin was stunned, "What is a stove?"
When Yang Bin said this, many young people responsible for picking up stones shouted, "Brother Ye, how do you build a stove!"
Today's society is developing rapidly. Many families have long used microwave ovens, ovens, and even gas stoves. Most young people have never seen a real wood-burning stove!
It’s no wonder that in their hearts they only have the latest albums of celebrities, the latest mobile phones, and the most fashionable clothes.
Many people don’t recognize washboards, stoves and other household items from the past.
Ye Fan had no choice but to hold several large stones and place them beside Shangguan Ya and the others. Then he dug a hole with a small shovel and piled the stones neatly around the small hole. They were high and flat, leaving a small gap in the middle for ventilation.
Get it done, Ye Fan said to the young people watching enthusiastically.
"Building a stove is a technical job. You have to be very careful, otherwise the stove will not start, the wind will not flow smoothly, and the pot will explode if you are not careful!"
"oh!"
A group of young people suddenly realized this, and started to tinker with their own stoves one after another.
Everyone is busy, no matter who they are, they start doing their own things.
Ye Fan watched Zi Ling'er picking up rocks around, and talked to Guanya from time to time. The atmosphere was not as bad as before.
Ye Fan smiled slightly and lay on the grass holding his head.
The blue sky is spotless and crystal clear in early autumn.
There is a forest in the distance that is dyed golden by the west wind and is dazzling. The charming golden color is also dotted with a little red, which is dazzlingly beautiful.
The rosy clouds are reflected on the clear primitive lake, and the microwaves of the fish scales add to the color of the floating clouds, which is particularly gorgeous.
Not long after I lay down, everyone came to report the results of setting up the stove.
"Brother Ye, the stove is set up, what next?!"
"...Then..." Ye Fan's head almost grew, "Then he put the collected firewood in and put the pot on the stove!
Fang Long, the stove you built is too big. Do you think the pot here is as big as your bathtub?! Hey, Xiao Gao, your stove is too small, and you can’t even put a bottle of mineral water in it."
Suddenly, Yang Bin slapped Li Kang on the back of the head, "You idiot!"
Li Kang squatted on the ground aggrievedly, "Brother Bin, what did I do wrong?"
"Damn it, everyone else brings iron pots, why are you bringing a rice cooker?! You have no brains, are you going to stick a plug into your nostrils!"
Yang Bin kicked the rice cooker that Li Kang had just taken out of his backpack, causing the pot body to become uneven.
Although Yang Bin behaved quite honestly in front of Ye Fan, it did not mean that Fang Long, a prickly person, would change his appearance and become amiable.
In front of other people, he still looked that arrogant.
Seeing this, Ye Fan frowned slightly and shouted at Yang Bin, "Hey, what are you doing?! What did I say before we left? We need to unite! Do you want to cause division?!"
Suddenly, Yang Bin's heart trembled, and he quickly pulled Li Kang up, turned to Ye Fan and said angrily: "Ye Fan, how can we cook without a pot?"
Ye Fan sneered, came to them, opened the rice cooker, and took out the dark inner pot. "You can still cook after taking out the inner pot of the rice cooker. Yang Bin, use your brain more before doing things in the future."
After another half an hour, the man collecting firewood came back.
Everyone laughed and laughed for a while and started cooking.
As for cooking, even a fool can do it, so each group started cooking the meals they brought with them.
"Xiaoya, what did you bring?" Ye Fan scooped water from the lake, settled the debris, and started to light a fire.
Shangguanya's face became hesitant. After a while, he opened his backpack and took out canned tuna, canned salmon, cheese, fried tofu and a lot of other messy things.
Deng Qianqian on the side also opened her backpack and took out raw beef, chicken, mutton, eggs, pork, tomatoes, salt, vegetable oil and other condiments.
The meat is packed in fresh-keeping bags and cooled with ice cubes, making it very fresh.
Wei Xiaoyu only brought some rice and meat.
Wu Yijing took out a large box from her backpack, and when she took it out, she found a variety of exquisite dishes.
The entire set of tableware is neatly arranged, and can be used by almost ten people.
Everyone placed their things on the ground and formed a small pile around them.
Ye Fan's eyes suddenly lit up: "Damn, you guys are so thoughtful, so the picnic will be fun!"
After checking back and forth, Ye Fan said: "Deng Qianqian, your meat is so fresh. Haha, we are in for a treat!"
"Bah, your meat is fresh!" Deng Qianqian jumped away and ran away, "I'm going to play with Zhang Qian and the others. Call me when you're ready!"
Zhang Qian is a cast member and Deng Qianqian is a fan of hers. Now that she has such a good contact opportunity, she will naturally show her courtesy.
Wu Yijing and Wei Xiaoyu stayed next to Shangguanya. When they saw Ye Fan rolling up his sleeves and preparing for a big fight, they came over: "Let's help Brother Ye."
In fact, these girls brought a complete set of tools, including kitchen knives, woks, cooking pots, plastic simple cutting boards, soup spoons, and bowls and chopsticks.
There are also all kinds of condiments, such as chili pepper, garlic, chopped green onion, chicken essence, Shaoxing wine, oyster sauce, pepper, sesame oil, cinnamon, star anise and so on.
It can almost be used as a small kitchen.
Ye Fan saw that the materials were almost done and the things to be done were not very complicated, so he waved his hand and said, "You girls go and play, I will take care of it here!"
