Chapter 521 The special challenge of my sister (big chapter)
When the two came back, Hai Qing had already tidied up the house and washed the vegetables she picked.
"Dangdang has grown a lot and is able to eat better. He only has two bottles of milk left."
"We're back just in time. Let's put up the awning first. Otherwise, the weather is unbearable. Come over and help us."
Haiqing took out the blue plastic sheet on the side, which was the same color as the roof. Her sister went into the house and took out tools such as hammers.
"It's very simple. Just take a string of ropes on one end of the roof and fix it. On the other side, use bamboo poles to support it. Just dig a small hole on the ground. This way, whether you are making a fire or cooking underneath, there will be no sunlight.
It’s sunburned.”
The plan was very simple, and Wang Xiaochen and her sister understood it through her gestures.
Originally, Su Yan planned to see if he could help. After all, he had to climb a ladder to the roof beam. Unexpectedly, the three of them had no intention of asking for help. It took less than half an hour to get it done!
I wiped the sweat from my forehead and stood there with satisfaction looking at the fruits of my labor.
"Actually, it's not as difficult as I thought!" Hai Qing said with emotion: "Okay, wash your hands and get ready to cook."
"Okay!" The two of them responded.
My sister consciously sat in front of the stove again: "Sister Haiqing."
"kindness?"
"After I went back this time, I learned how to cook a dish with my mother. I hope I can cook it for you guys!"
"That's good, what kind of dish?" Hai Qing was talking, her hands were still peeling garlic, while Wang Xiaochen started washing rice.
"Braised pork ribs, after I made it once, my family said it was delicious." My sister was a little proud.
"Well, how much money did we have left just now? I guess we can only try something new. The pork is not cheap recently, it is almost the same price as beef." As expected of a housewife, she still understands the market quite well.
"Not only that." Wang Xiaochen chimed in beside him: "Fruits are also much more expensive. It's hard to find them for less than ten yuan a pound."
"I know this. There are a lot of photos on the Internet. Some netizens go to the supermarket and just buy a cherry or a small piece of pork." My sister suddenly stopped when she said this: "Otherwise, I won't buy ribs.
, if I can’t do it well, it will be a waste.”
Hai Qing slapped Xiaochen angrily: "What are you talking about? Your child won't even allow you to eat meat if you ask him to. It's okay. Let's go buy it in the afternoon. Don't worry and do it boldly."
Wang Xiaochen???What did I say?
"Keep the fish's internal organs. You can put a fish basket in it at noon."
"OK!"
Su Yan walked aside and said, "While you are not busy right now, there will be a large-scale task for this shooting."
"I know, I know! Picking corn, right?" My sister raised her hand to answer.
"Yes, that's right. There are about five fields in total. You can complete it within four days of this shooting. By the way, you don't just harvest the corn, you also have to collect the straw."
"What is the concept of five points of land? Just tell us how many plants there are, so we can have some idea." Wang Xiaochen asked.
"Well, it's half an acre of land, probably 2,000 trees."
"2000???"
Even if you don't understand farm work, just by looking at these numbers, you will know that it is not a simple matter.
Several people looked at each other, speechless.
"I said why would you give me four days? It seems that I don't want to do anything else these days. I have to get up at dawn to break the corn."
"How long does it take a normal farmer to complete?" Hai Qing asked.
"Let's spend the whole day alone." In fact, Su Yan didn't quite understand, so he had to ask the host next to him to find out.
"That's okay. Even if the three of us have never done it before, but we have the advantage in numbers, we can probably finish it in half a day!" Wang Xiaochen looked quite confident.
By the way, we probably won’t be able to start until tomorrow. I went to the sheep pen to take a look in the morning and found that several wooden boards had fallen off. I heard from the director that they were kicked off by the naughty lambs. I’ll have to bring tools to fix them in the afternoon.”
"Aren't there any guests?" Hai Qing suddenly turned around and asked: "Look, these things should be done by men, shouldn't they? Send Peng Yuyan here, or Xiao Nanyuan."
"Sister, these two are quite different. How could you put them together?"
"You don't understand this." Hai Qing deliberately lowered his voice: "Peng Yuyan probably won't be able to come, so the program team will definitely feel apologetic, and maybe they will really send us a male guest. I always feel that, bye
Corn is not as simple as imagined.”
However, the program team did not give answers to their questions.
Although I haven’t been here for a while, my body still remembers how to operate.
My sister and I quickly lit the fire. It only took a few minutes and no outside help was needed.
Hai Qing was cutting vegetables on the side.
Wang Xiaochen already dared to pack the seafood and stood by the pool, scraping the fish scales.
From the lens, everything looks so harmonious and comfortable.
"Why do I have a feeling?" Hai Qing looked up at the other two people and motioned for the camera to take a picture: "It's not like we are here for the second time, but like we have lived here for a long time and are the aborigines here.
Regardless of whether it was the last time or this time, I started working as soon as I came here. I planted my own potatoes, caught my own fish, and even made my own parasols.
How long did it take my sister to make the fire for the first time? It seemed to be more than an hour, almost the same time as when we set up the stove, but now, it's five minutes.
The same goes for Xiaochen, who didn’t even dare to catch fish before..."
"The fish are here!" Wang Xiaochen happened to come over: "Then I will put the fish basket in first."
"Go, go, do you remember where you were last time?"
"Don't worry." She skillfully found the cage, which was not too dirty, and held it in her arms. The staff helped hold the other one.
"Sister, please sit back a little, I'm going to pour the oil." Hai Qing reminded.
"Yes." Zifeng obediently moved back.
"Let's have some scrambled eggs with tomatoes first. Sister, do you like something sweet or salty?"
"Anything is fine, I'm not picky about food."
"I mostly put sugar there." Su Yan said leisurely to the side.
"Haha!" Hai Qing gave an insincere smile.
Su Yan felt bored.
It can only be said that Hai Qing is indeed very capable. Three dishes and one soup were finished in less than half an hour, which also made Su Yan a little alert.
It's too fast, it seems like it's going to be more difficult.
"Sister Haiqing, I heard that my sister will be the chef tonight?"
"No, no." Zifeng spoke first: "I'm just trying to make a dish."
Su Yan nodded: "That's right, there will be a special task tomorrow morning. If my sister's dish can be praised by more than 4 of the 6 judges, the difficulty of the task will be reduced by more than half. As for what it is specifically,
We will announce it after the results come out tonight.”
Zhang Zifeng was stunned at first, and then his face became nervous. He didn't know where to put his hands, and his eyes were very helpless.
"Don't be anxious yet." Hai Qing noticed her embarrassment: "I'll serve the food first."
With that said, after finishing it in a few moments, he took his sister's hand and walked forward.
"It means that Zifeng will make a dish tonight, and there will be 6 judges. As long as 4 people think it is delicious, the difficulty of the task will be reduced, right?"
Su Yan nodded.
"Then what if I say that you are unconscionable and deliberately say it tastes bad?"
"You can rest assured about this. There will only be two people on the show, and the remaining four are local residents. We guarantee fairness, justice, and openness, and there will be absolutely no shady stories." Su Yan assured again and again.
"Is tutoring allowed?"
"As long as you don't help, everything else doesn't matter."
"Well!" Hai Qing nodded and turned to face her sister: "Then there's nothing to worry about. Didn't you learn from your mother? I'll watch and teach you when you cook in the afternoon. There must be no problem.
.”
"But...what if it doesn't taste good."
"Don't worry, as long as you cook it well and don't throw in the salt, it's hard to make the ribs not delicious." Hai Qing comforted at the side.
"Then, I'll give it a try."
Soon, Wang Xiaochen also came back. After hearing about the mission of the program team, he walked up to his sister and patted her shoulder to cheer her up.
Even so, it can be seen that my sister is still under a lot of pressure. She is always absent-minded when eating. After eating less than half a bowl, she said she was full and sat on the edge in a daze.
Hai Qing was not happy and said to Su Yan: "You said, can't you wait until lunch is over before we talk about this? The little girl is not in the mood. Xiaochen will remember to remind me when I go to the supermarket.
Two bags of potato chips, otherwise I will definitely be hungry in the afternoon."
Wang Xiaochen nodded in agreement.
After lunch, the three of them drove to the market, because they might not be able to buy it if they were later. However, the money was provided by the program team. It was still a task. They used their own dozens of dollars to buy some tofu carefully.
There is no shortage of side dishes such as sausages, vegetables and seafood at home.
After returning home, Hai Qing began to provide one-on-one tutoring to Zhang Zifeng. Of course, it was only for the ribs soaked in water to remove the blood, without actual combat. Then the two of them drove to the sheep pen.
Wang Xiaochen was not idle either. She put on a big bamboo hat and a basket and walked into the cornfield. She wanted to try first to see if it was difficult.
It was quite new at first. I talked and laughed with the photographer, interacted there, found bigger ones from time to time, and didn’t forget to show off to the camera.
About twenty minutes later, she started panting and there were dozens of baskets.
Big beads of sweat flowed down his face. His face was stained with a lot of debris because he needed to wipe it from time to time. Even though it was wrapped tightly, he was still injured by the corn leaves. After encountering the sweat, it was
It's itchy and painful.
"There are only a few trees here, and I feel exhausted." Wang Xiaochen turned around and glanced: "It seems that the task is difficult, no wonder it will take four days. If it doesn't work, I have to go back and drink water."
"Hey!"
But when she wanted to pick up the basket, she found that she couldn't do it. After looking at the photographer for help, he took the initiative to help her.
The two of them walked back humming.
"Oh! It's so powerful, I picked a lot."
Hai Qing and the others also just came back for a while and stood up to help.
My younger sister was very smart. After seeing Wang Xiaochen who was sweating, she went directly into the room to help her get a towel and pour the water out of her bed.
"Grrrrrrrrrrrr!"
After drinking the water, he calmed down a little, took the towel and started wiping his face: "I can see that it's not that simple. For such a big basket, it's probably less than 1%. The three of us can choke in a day.
Finish."
"Then don't worry. I'll collect a little every day. I didn't say it was going to be done right away. There seems to be still charcoal in the stove. Let's bake a few and try them first." Hai Qing squatted there and started to select.
"Sister, let me pour you another glass of water."
"Thank you Zifeng." Xiaochen handed over the cup: "By the way, director, you haven't mentioned the benefits yet. Last time it cost 500 yuan to grow potatoes, so the corn will probably have to be doubled."
Only then did Hai Qing realize that it seemed that he had indeed not said anything.
The three of them stared at the program group together.
Su Yan naturally prepared his words: "Planting potatoes, you did more of the work mentioned in the previous books, so you gave me more money, but this corn was planted by the original owner a long time ago. In fact, you only
Labor is required.
Normally, a small worker in a rural area earns 150 yuan a day. If you are not a skilled worker, you only get 100 yuan. Three of you is 300 yuan."
"Why only three hundred?" Hai Qing was unhappy: "This job is estimated to take two days to complete. Even if the salary is reduced, the construction period must be taken into account."
"As I said before, it actually only takes one day for the locals to complete it, and we actually spent more money."
Well...the three of them stopped talking, as if what the other party said made sense.
"But we spend more time, and we're not being lazy. I think the price should be at least the same as planting potatoes." Wang Xiaochen felt that we should struggle.
"Let's do this." Su Yan was "embarrassed" for a while: "Add one hundred or four hundred yuan. When you leave, you can take some corn back with you. This is sweet corn and it tastes very good."
Although it still felt like they were being cheated, there was actually an extra red ticket, which gave the three of them a little balance.
So he generously shared the roasted corn with the staff.
In a blink of an eye, it was already past four o'clock.
The younger sister took a deep breath and started her performance.
I don't know when Su Yan disappeared again, and Lijun stood in front and announced tomorrow's mission.
""Three Meals a Day" is an international program. I believe that some foreign friends will see familiar foods when they see breakfast. Therefore, tomorrow morning, your breakfast will be bread. If Zifeng's mission is successful, the stove for baking bread will
Our production team will be responsible for it. If it fails, you three will need to make it yourself."
"Are you kidding?" Hai Qing exploded: "What do you think of us? Oven, do you think we three actors can do it? Where is Su Yan? Did he expect to get angry?
, hiding in advance?"
"Forget about the stove, forget about repairing the sheepfold, we are going to need an oven now, and when the time comes, we might as well build a house by ourselves."
"Sister, I just checked and it doesn't seem to be difficult..."
Zhang Zifeng's words immediately deflated the two actresses who were about to have a fit.
"My sister, even if it's not difficult, don't say it. If you can do anything well, then there will be no end to it." After a few words of sincere education, Hai Qing could no longer pretend to be fierce.
"It's all up to you. If everything goes well, you can have delicious bread and goat's milk tomorrow morning."
"What if it fails?"
"Failed? You probably won't have time to sleep that night, so prepare to work all night."
Zhang Zifeng clenched his fist: "I will work hard!"
Here at the program team, Lijun looked at her phone and started.
"Before we begin, let me introduce the judges. First of all, the director Su Yan...the director of photography Lao Zhou...the owner of the house Ouyang...the villager Aunt Li, and..."
Following her introduction, the last two people walked in.
"Bang!" The basin in Hai Qing's hand fell to the ground.
