Chapter 83 83. Collective Freeloading
[Hahahaha, I am dying of laughter, Dalijie's expression just now is simply amazing! ]
【? Did I miss something? Did Dalijie have any expression just now? Why didn’t I see it? 】
[You don't understand. No expression is the most obvious expression. I feel like Jin Jiu's disdain is almost expressed directly.]
The comments were full of laughter, but the cameraman, one of the parties involved, felt embarrassed. However, Jinjiu agreed, so he could only give a polite smile and got in the car.
Jin Jiu, the second person involved, looked down at the chain on his hand.
Lin Qian sighed in boredom…Okay, I can’t use ghost power to drive fast, it’s boring.
Because they deliberately controlled the speed of the car, Jinjiu and his friends returned slower than before, but it only took them about ten minutes to return to Qingshui Village.
After getting off the car, Jinjiu was carrying the bucket with four fish. When he was about to pick up another bucket, Qiu Ruoran snatched it away.
"Sister Jinjiu, please don't snatch it from me, otherwise I won't do anything today and I will feel really bad."
"Then you carry it."
Jinjiu was not going to dwell on this matter any longer. Two people each carried two buckets, one bucket was filled with fish, and the other bucket was empty.
After returning to the small Western-style building, Jinjiu and Qiu Ruoran first put the fish into the large water tank in the backyard, and Jinjiu sent the four buckets to the village chief's house. After all, the buckets also belonged to the village chief.
When Jinjiu went to deliver the water bucket, everyone else also came back one after another.
The second group to come back were Fang Xunchen and Chang Xue. They all looked unhappy, and one could tell at a glance that they must have had an unhappy afternoon.
However, each of them was holding a bag in their hands, but because the bags were not transparent, you couldn't see what was inside.
When Fang Xunchen came back, he happened to see Qiu Ruoran in the kitchen. His eyes flashed, and all the fatigue in his heart disappeared.
"Ruoran, what are you doing? Is there anything I can help you with?"
Qiu Ruoran was not surprised to hear Fang Xunchen's voice, because she had just heard footsteps outside.
But after hearing what Fang Xunchen said, he couldn't help but frown slightly.
"I'm cooking, no need to help." Qiu Ruoran's indifferent response did not extinguish Fang Xunchen's desire to get close to her.
Fang Xunchen approached with a smile on his face: "Are you making dinner for everyone? Although I can't cook, I can help."
Qiu Ruoran concealed the disgust in her eyes, took two steps back, and gave her seat to Fang Xunchen.
"Okay, then you help kill the fish." Qiu Ruoran knew that the more you refused someone like Fang Xunchen, the more excited he would become.
If she really refused, in the end, he would have a good reputation as an enthusiastic person in front of the audience, and he would be criticized for being ungrateful.
In that case, if he wants to help, let him do it!
"What?" Fang Xunchen's face froze. He never expected that Qiu Ruoran, who had always resisted him, would actually agree to his polite words.
Qiu Ruoran laughed secretly in her heart, but pretended not to know: "Didn't you say you wanted to help? I just happened to be going to get some water, so I'll trouble you to help me kill the fish."
Fang Xunchen gnashed his teeth in anger, but since he had indeed agreed to this matter, it was impossible for him to go back on his word at the last minute, so he could only agree with a stiff face.
"Okay, killing fish is such a scary thing and it's really not suitable for girls to do." Fang Xunchen adjusted himself relatively quickly and quickly recovered his composure, while maintaining his gentlemanly, gentle and considerate personality.
Qiu Ruoran also thanked him sincerely: "Thank you then."
Having said that, Qiu Ruoran left the kitchen like a flash.
Qiu Ruoran couldn't help but sneer after leaving the camera. After pouring the water, she didn't go back to the kitchen immediately, but prepared to go outside to see if there was anything useful.
Qiu Ruoran just discovered a problem. There seemed to be no seasonings in the kitchen, let alone onions, ginger and garlic.
You have to know that fish has a strong smell and it is difficult to deal with without onions and ginger.
Just as she came to the living room, she saw Chang Xue sitting on the sofa and resting. Just as she was about to say hello, two more people came back outside.
"Are you all back? Take a rest quickly. I've boiled some water. You can all have a drink first." Qiu Ruoran saw Jin Ci and Xu Nanhai carrying things in their hands and panting with exhaustion. She naturally took the washed cups and poured water for the two of them.
"Thank you, Sister Qiu."
"Thank you."
The two men didn't hesitate because they were indeed very tired and thirsty, and felt like they would die if they didn't replenish water immediately.
After thanking him, I took the water and drank it in a few gulps. I immediately felt like I was alive again.
"Where's Jiu?" After drinking the water, Jin Ci's first reaction was to look for Jin Jiu, but unfortunately she didn't see him.
"She went to the village chief's house to return something. She should be back soon."
"Oh." Jin Ci nodded, then sat down with Xu Nanhai and began to sort out the things she had brought back.
Qiu Ruoran and Chang Xue both leaned over to take a look out of curiosity, and saw a full bag of flour and a small bag of rice.
"Is this flour and rice? Where did they come from?" Qiu Ruoran was a little surprised.
Jin Ci smiled and said, "We bought the flour from the old man when we helped harvest the wheat. We originally wanted to buy rice, but the old man didn't have much, so we only gave him some."
People who grow wheat at home will naturally have flour, and it is not uncommon for them to spend money to buy some flour.
As for the rice, there was not much, only about half a pound, so no one took it seriously.
Qiu Ruoran was a little surprised: "It's good to have flour. I was just worried about not having staple food. With flour, we can make steamed buns. Then we can make a pot of fish soup and a plate of braised fish. The steamed buns will be enough."
"Fish soup? Braised fish?" Jin Ci was stunned, not quite understanding what was going on.
Not only her, but Xu Nanhai and Chang Xue also didn't understand where the fish came from.
Qiu Ruoran told Jinjiu about spending money to buy fish.
As for the matter between Miaomiao and Li Kai, it was too complicated, so she didn't say anything.
"Sister Jiu is really smart." Jin Ci praised with a smile, "It was she who asked me to buy the things, otherwise I wouldn't have thought of this, and the money was also given by Jiu."
Often learn complex facial expressions.
He opened the things he and Fang Xunchen had brought back and showed them to everyone.
There were two big white radishes, a few cucumbers, a few tomatoes, and a small handful of green vegetables.
"Well, these are the vegetables we bought." Just like Jinjiu, he used the money Jinjiu gave him to produce and sell all the vegetables they hadn't sold. This way, he not only had the ingredients, but also completed the task.
Obviously, this method was also taught by Jinjiu, and the money was also given by Jinjiu.
"Are we collectively considered as gigolos?" Chang Xue suddenly asked.
After hearing what he said, the others fell silent.
