ATBBMPL – Chapter 6
In this while, already 14
people ate apricots, which was a great help to Shen Tingshuang.
Shen Tingshuang can certainly meet Li Ying's request:
"Yes, I will take you there."
The remaining apricots were placed at the foot of the
mountain. Shen Tingshuang knows that someone will buy it, so she was not in a
hurry.
There was an array formation under the mountain, and
most people couldn't enter the mountain at will, so Shen Tingshuang asked Li
Ying and the others to follow her up.
The location of the river was on the east side of the
mountain, and it was not very far. Everyone took out what they had brought and
prepared to barbecue.
At exactly this time, the sound of the system prompting
the completion of the task came from Shen Tingshuang ear.
Shen Tingshuang said goodbye to Li Ying and the others;
and went straight to the bottom of the mountain to transplant bamboo. This mountain
has bamboo forest around 500 meters northeast of the mountain.
Shen Tingshuang intended to transplant them to the foot
of the mountain. While looked pretty, they can also help arrange some
formations. Shen Tingshuang's spiritual veins are not fully restored now, so
they can only rely on these external forces.
After transplanting several bamboos, Li Ying brought a
plate with meat skewers, chicken feet, ham sausage, and eggplant on it to Shen
Tingshuang. "Sister, have some of this. We just roasted it."
Shen Tingshuang took it: "Thank you."
Li Ying thought Shen Tingshuang is really good, she
looked good and has a good temper. The most important was that the apricots she
grew are also delicious: "You are welcome."
In fact, there was a river under the mountain, but
seeing everyone eating apricots, she knew that everyone definitely didn't want
to leave.
Shen Tingshuang finished eating the food, returned to
the courtyard, washed the dishes, and picked a bunch of cucumbers. After the
seeds were planted, the cucumbers matured quickly because of the energy
watering.
She washed the cucumbers and put them in a bag, and
sent them to Li Ying and the others.
Li Ying and the others had almost finished eating.
Seeing that Shen Tingshuang brought cucumbers over, everyone was still reluctant
to refuse.
Li Ying knew that Shen Tingshuang produce was
delicious. Although she was already very full, she thanked her and took the
cucumbers. There was still water on them, which indicated they were washed
prior.
Li Ying took a bite immediately.
Barbecue was very greasy, and there were various spice condiments
on it, which has a strong taste. After eating, not only the stomach, but the
whole person feels very greasy.
At this time, taking a bite of cucumber into the stomach,
will make the whole person much refreshed.
Although most of them was full, this cucumber can well
get rid of the greasy taste brought by the barbecue just now.
Everyone began to listen to the sound of Li Ying biting
the cucumber.
The person next to her was also aroused, and then took one
cucumber, and his whole body became more energetic when he ate it.
The rest of the people followed to get the cucumbers
and suddenly it became so quiet next to the stream.
Everyone sat on the spot holding a cucumber and gnawed
quietly.
After a long pause, the department head said to Li
Ying, "We also need to do something, so for today's activities, I think we
can help this little girl do some farming"
Everyone: ......
Okay , How can there be a team building activity of
helping people farm their land, but they are somewhat happy in their hearts,
what if there was other things delicious on this mountain?
So they sent Li Ying, as a representative to find Shen
Tingshuang.
Shen Tingshuang thought after hearing the suggestion,
the soil has to be plowed for seed planting. If someone has never farm, they will
not know the appropriate depth of seeding each seed type.
Li Ying came from the countryside, and she also knows
that farming was not that simple. "Anyone that has experience in farming, will
plow and dig the soil. Then you can sow the seeds yourself. Anyone that never
farm before, let them go pull weeds."
Shen Tingshuang: "Okay, thank you."
Li Ying: "You don’t have to be polite, we also
want to thank you."
Li Ying and the head of the department divided the
participants into two groups, the ones that have farm experience and those that
have none.
The group that has no experience will be lead by
someone with experience; otherwise they may pull plants and not weeds by
mistake.
Everyone was busy until four o'clock in the afternoon;
Shen Tingshuang estimated the time, went to the small shop under the mountain
and bought two big tartan bags, one for apricots.
For the other one, Shen Tingshuang ran to a peach tree
and watered it. After completing the task just now, her spiritual veins had
recovered by 5%, and watering a whole tree was no problem anymore.
Shen Tingshuang picked a bag full of peaches, and then
carried the apricots and peaches. As soon as she walked down the mountain, she
saw Li Ying and the others.
They were almost finished too. The whole area below was
really well plowed. The weeders have pulled a lot of things. They also separate
the wet and dry weeds.
Li Ying saw so many apricots and peaches, she was very
happy: "How much are these?"
Shen Tingshuang, "No, you helped me a lot." She
have to admit that although she has become a lot stronger, these many people
have plowed the soil faster than she alone, "I'll guide you down the
mountain."
Seeing what Shen Tingshuang was holding in her hands, some
men stepped forward to help take the bags.
Shen Tingshuang was ready to refuse.
Li Ying stopped: "Sister, we have so many men, we do
not need women to do heavy work."
The man next to her also agreed, "Yes, sister, you
take a break."
So Shen Tingshuang did not help to lift the bags of fruits.
Everyone walked to the foot of the mountain and saw a
lady stepping out of the car.
She saw Shen Tingshuang and began waving her hands in
particular excitement, and then rushed towards Shen Tingshuang, only halfway
through, she seemed to stop moving forward.
Everyone thought that this lady had something to do
with Shen Tingshuang, and saw that it was not early, so they all got in the bus:
"Sister, you have a guest, so we will say goodbye for now."
Shen Tingshuang waved to
them.
The bus left soon, and if any of them looked back, they
would find that the lady who had just arrived was still spinning around the base
of the mountain.
Shen Tingshuang directly walked up the mountain,
passing by wandering Wang Qian without even giving a look. Moments later, she
was almost out of sight.
The flying stone suddenly knocked the rock array she
placed on the entrance of the mountain, and Wang Qian, who was wandering, went
straight to the entrance.
Wang Qian felt a little strange. She had been walking
up the mountain. How could she have walked for a long time not even reaching
the middle of the mountain, but now she was still at the foot of the mountain?
Wang Qian was about to hike again, her driver rolled
down his window: "What are you doing?"
The sky slowly turned pale, but the driver’s pale
complexion could still be seen, and Wang Qian felt a little fear in her heart.
"Just now, did you see it?"
The driver: "Come back on, you have been circling
around there, when call you, you don't response."
Wang Qian returned to the car and her face changed
again when she heard this.
The two looked at the blackening sky, and the driver
felt cold all over. He looked at Wang Qian in horror: "Could it be that you
have something dirty on your body?"
Wang Qian was agitated: "Don't talk nonsense, let’s
go." The village was already quiet, especially at night, when Wang Qian
looked at her surroundings; the fear in her heart grew stronger.
The driver didn't want to stay in this place for too long,
he stepped on the accelerator and leave.
…
When Shen Tingshuang arrived back at her courtyard, the
phone notification rang, "Your Alipay has received 2000 yuan payment.”
…
After Li Ying and the other participant got in the bus,
the head of their department asked, "Do you capture the girl’s QR code?"
"Don't worry, boss, I have it."
"Let's make payment."
Their departmental activity budget was 5,000 yuan. They
spent nearly 2,000 on food and drinks, little more than 1,000 on renting the bus.
In short, there was a little only more than two
thousand left.
After they discussed it, they decided to round it up
and transfer the remaining two thousand yuan to Shen Tingshuang.
One of the colleague said, "This big bag of
apricots is at least 100 catties. I think her QR code says five yuan a catty.
And peaches are definitely more expensive than apricots. The most important
thing is that we stay on the mountain almost full day."
There was also the first twenty catties of apricots Li
Ying and the others hadn’t paid yet. Finally, they ate to the cucumbers that Shen
Tingshuang brought. Although the cucumbers prices on the market are cheap, the
quality was definitely not as good as Shen Tingshuang’s. These are all money.
Department head "Don't worry."
Since the department head has said so, everyone thinks
that he must have a way to compensate Shen Tingshuang.
After this problem was solved, everyone was happy again. Normal
team building couldn't get a budget of tens of thousands of yuan, but they not
only had a good time today, but they also didn't go over budget. On the way
back, everyone was reminiscing about today's activities.
"Don't tell me, Xiao Liu has blisters on her hands."
Xiao
Liu, who was named said, "I have never farm before." But it was very
interesting to experience it today. She thinks this team building activity memories
will probably last a lifetime.
The head of the department looked at Li Ying,
"This time you have chosen a very good place."
Li Ying was very happy. Could it be not? Everyone
ate happily and the funny thing was that the team building activity this
afternoon changed into farming, but nothing happened and no one objected.
These girls who were usually the most pristine in image
management at the office did not even raise complains of tiredness while
working on the farm today.
Who will believe it?
...
Shen Tingshuang picked two cucumbers, a handful of
peppers and a cabbage.
These ingredients are all grown herself, Shen
Tingshuang rinsed them with water and then began to process.
First cut the cucumber into slices and put it on a
plate, and then cut the pepper into shreds diagonally. The cabbage did not
really need a knife, just directly tore the outer leaves into several pieces by
hand. During the tearing process, the fragrance of the cabbage burst out. It
smelled great.
Wash the pot and add oil.
When the oil is hot, add the cucumber, stir twice,
sprinkle a thin layer of salt, stir again twice and serve.
Rinse the pot with clean water a little, put a few more
firewood into the wood stove, when the water in the pot is evaporated, put in
the chili, dry stir-fry, then put aside after cooked. After that put in the oil,
put the torn cabbage into the pot.
The sound of stir frying stimulated the taste buds.
After stirring for a while, Shen Tingshuang put the previously fried chili and
salt in, stir a couple of times before serving.
There was no table in the kitchen, so Shen Tingshuang
put the dishes beside the stove.
Most vegetables will taste better after being exposed
to frost in winter. If they are stir-fried with lard, the taste will be
improved.
The taste of this cabbage is sweet on the first bite,
and the second bite is very refreshing. The sweet juice of cabbage quickly
enters the body from the tip of the tongue and flows into the stomach.
The sweet taste was so delicious that people can't help
to groan.
There were also peppers. The dry stir-fry method
reduces the spiciness of the peppers, but does not affect its fragrance at all!
With one bite, the spiciness was accompanied by the
sweetness of cabbage, which is absolutely delicious!
Shen Tingshuang originally felt that she could not
finish eating, but ended up eating these two dishes cleanly.
After eating, Shen Tingshuang touched her little protruded
belly, and she was more comfortable than any other ginseng.

ReplyDeleteWell I guess I shouldn't think too much, it's a very well-known fact that common-sense in this world usually does not apply to other worlds as well๐
