ATBBMPL – Chapter 57
Geng
Chengyun wiped the table: "Tingshuang, two big bags of vegetables, how did
you earn them?" He thought about this problem all afternoon and couldn't
figure it out. Their team had Qin Yueze in, and they made more than 800 yuan in
the afternoon. Shen Tingshuang's two big bags were worth more than that.
Shen
Tingshuang: "Farming."
Geng
Chengyun looked at Shen Tingshuang with a sense of confusion. He knew she was a
farmer, but she could get so many vegetables?
Qin Yueze
said: "Tingshuang may mean that she helps people farm, and they donate the
two bag of ingredients."
Shen
Tingshuang nodded: "That's correct."
Geng
Chengyun fell into a deep thought. If he needed to make money next time, he would
help the people farm the land.
After
tidying up the kitchen, only the living room has Wi-Fi, so Geng Chengyun stayed
in the living room to play games.
...
When
everyone got up the next morning, they were surprised to find that breakfast
had been prepared.
The main
reason was that after eating a meal made by them yesterday, Shen Tingshuang was
reluctant to let them continue cooking. Yesterday, except for the eggplant that
was still acceptable, everything else was difficult to swallow. After all,
wasting ingredients was not a good thing. Besides, cooking didn’t make
her feel tired. So Shen Tingshuang got up at five o’clock, took out the
bacon and soaked it in water, then went out and ran around the ancient town.
Her cameraman
and photographer immediately dispatched, but they found that after running for
five minutes, they were extremely tired. In the end, all the cameramen of
the other guests took turns to follow her so that they could complete the
shooting at this time.
At 6
o'clock, Shen Tingshuang returned to the house and went to the kitchen. She
took out the cabbage and washed it. After washing, the condiments such as green
onion, ginger, and garlic were cut open and set aside. She took out a
large bowl, pour some flour into it, and then add water to make dough.
Shen
Tingshuang with her white hands didn’t look like a farmer, but she kneaded the
dough very quickly, and after a while the flour became a smooth dough.
Shen Tingshuang divided the dough into six equal parts and began to make noodles.
She took one
part of dough and it quickly turned into thinner and thinner noodles in her
hands. Shen Tingshuang placed the noodles on the cutting board and sprinkled
them with a layer of flour, then she did the same for the other five
doughs.
Shen
Tingshuang took out the bacon soaked in the sink, clean them again with running
water, and then cut into thin slices. It could be seen that these bacons
were carefully selected by the grandpa and grandma. The meat was so red and
looked very good.
Shen
Tingshuang washed the pot carefully, turn on the fire, wait for the water vapor
in the pot to evaporate and pour some oil into it. After it was hot, she added
the onion, ginger, and garlic, stirred a while for the aroma to come out then
removed them.
Shen
Tingshuang then added the slices of bacon. The strong aroma of bacon came out
at this moment. She then poured in water until half the pot was filled.
Fortunately, this pot was big so that she could add noodles for six people at the
same time.
When the
water in the pot boiled Shen Tingshuang directly put the noodles in, and
finally added the cabbage.
Qin Yueze
got up at 6:30, when he opened the door he smelled the fragrance of the house.
He walked to the first floor and found that Shen Tingshuang was cooking
breakfast: "Get up so early, how was your sleep?"
"Pretty
good." Shen Tingshuang filled a bowl of noodles and sprinkled a layer of
green onion on it: "Eat breakfast."
Bacon Noodles here
Qin Yueze
thanked her. He knew how to cook because of his childhood, so he had experience
in cooking by himself. Of course, whether his cooking skills were particularly
good, he couldn’t guarantee.
Shen
Tingshuang also served a bowl for herself.
Qin Yueze
already held his chopsticks, and the two sat side by side.
At this
time, Liu Jing and Shen Xuan were also up. After all, this was a variety show.
If they wanted more shots or left a good impression on netizens, they must get
up early. They both smelled a delicious scent as soon as they went out, and
when they went downstairs, they saw the noodles in the kitchen pot.
Liu Jing
said: "Brother Ze, we are sorry you need to get up so early to make
breakfast for everyone."
Shen Xuan
also echoed: "Yes, Brother Ze has worked hard, this noodle is very
appetizing at first sight."
Qin Yueze
said: "The noodles was made by Tingshuang."
Liu Jing
didn't expect Shen Tingshuang to cook, and smiled awkwardly. She served a bowl
of noodles, but because she saw the bacon in it, she only served a small bowl.
Shen Xuan
took less than Liu Jing.
The voice on
the first floor made Geng Chengyun and Bai Hao woke up from their dreams and they
began to wash up casually. When they went downstairs and saw the noodles in the
kitchen, they were no longer sleepy. The two each served a large bowl of
noodles.
In fact,
Shen Tingshuang portioned the same amount of noodles, but because Liu Jing and
the other three were serving themselves, Liu Jing and Shen Xuan took less, so
Bai Hao and Geng Chengyun was able to take extraordinarily bigger portion.
Tempted with
the delicious smell, both of their bowls were full of noodles. When the two of
them finished serving, there were no noodles left in the pot.
Qin Yueze
was the first to eat. The noodles were distinct, accompanied by the fragrance
of meat and cabbage. When you ate to such a bowl in the morning, your stomach
was very comfortable.
Liu Jing
also took a bite. Unexpectedly, there was no greasiness of bacon at all.
Instead, it was full of fragrance, especially the cabbage inside, which was
much better than the boiled cabbage she usually ate!
Although
Shen Xuan didn't want to admit it, this bowl of noodles was really
delicious.
Bai Hao took
a bite, and almost bit his tongue, he shouted happily, "This noodle is too
fragrant. I didn't think noodles that have such a delicious noodle aroma will
be this good."
The meal
last night could be considered a nightmare. In order not to be hungry, they
forced themselves to eat. Now looking at the bowl of noodles in front of them,
the aroma of bacon wafted out, and the noodles were also very chewy.
"Too
delicious! This is called eating!" Geng Chengyun lowered his head and ate
a big bite, which has explained everything.
Everyone
felt that eating this kind of noodles made the spirit to tackle the day coming.
Qin Yueze
finished his bowl of noodles: "The noodles are really
delicious."
Everyone was
boasting, and Liu Jing also said: "You are really amazing Tingshuang, I
didn't expect your cooking to be so delicious." She just regretted it, if
she knew she would have take more.
Bai Hao made
a suggestion: "I suggest that starting from today, we leave all the meals
to Tingshuang."
Geng
Chengyun immediately agreed: "I will do the dishes after Tingshuang cook."
After all, letting others did things, he has to pay.
Bai Hao:
"I can also wash the dishes and clean up the house."
Liu Jing
also agreed. After all, Shen Ting Shuang's cooking was really delicious. As a
star, they usually eat less, but if they were to eat they wanted to eat well.
Qin Yueze
didn’t have any comments.
Shen Xuan
didn’t say a word.
Everyone
agreed by default. After eating the noodles, they cleaned up the bowls and went
out. Only then did they find that there was a task hanging at the door.
Qin Yueze
took off the card, and read: "Six guests, please check out the three most
famous scenic spots in this ancient town within one day."
Bai Hao has
never been here, so he didn’t know, he asked: "Drum Tower is famous here,
what else?"
Qin Yueze:
"There are also running water under the bridge and the scenery of the
ancient town at night. Drum Tower has entrance fee because many famous crews have
filmed there."
If there were
no filming, visitors would be charged a fee if they want to enter, and the
ticket price has increased from 5 yuan to 10 yuan, and then to the current 50
yuan. That was to say, if six people want to enter, it would cost 300 yuan.
They only
have 1357 yuan, and one attraction already cost 300 yuan, Liu Jing tremblingly
paid.
...
There were
already some tourists in the Drum Tower, but because of the arrangement of the crew
in advance, even if they saw the guests, they stayed far away and only
watched from a distance. Because once they spoke, they would be driven out of
the Drum Tower.
Shen
Tingshuang was walking at the back. Qin Yueze, who was originally walking in
the front, saw Shen Tingshuang walking at the back. He pretended to look at the
buildings inside the Drum Tower and follow Shen Tingshuang to walk together.
However,
Shen Tingshuang was destined to not understand Qin Yueze's intentions. When she
walked to the second floor, she said: "This Drum Tower history does not
seem to be long." Looking at the wood, it was only a few decades of
history.
Qin Yueze
explained: "It's really not long. I knew it was built for filming."
After Shen Tingshuang
nodded, Qin Yueze began to tell her the history of the Drum Tower.
At the top
of the Drum Tower, people could see the scenery of the entire ancient town,
overlooking the mountains and small buildings. Since they wanted to complete
the task, the guests must stand next to the Drum Tower and take photo, but their
phone has been confiscated again, so they faced the camera and began to make
poses, some love, and some make weird moves.
Qin Yueze
looked at the crew: "Is this task completed?" The crew nodded.
"Great,
let's go to the river next." Liu Jing said.
It seemed
that completing the task was not that difficult, so everyone went to the river
with light heart. Unexpectedly, for a boat, the cheapest cost 100 yuan and it
was a two-seaters. The four-seaters one cost 180 yuan. Now it was either they
rented one four-seaters boat and one two-seaters boat for 280 yuan, or rented
three two-seater boats for 300 yuan.
280 yuan one
was obviously a better deal, but who was going to take a two-seater boat?
Geng
Chengyun, who rarely speaks, suggested: "A four-seaters boat can sit six
people, but we need to forgo the boatman." They have to row by themselves,
which was laborious but saves money.
Bai Hao
immediately agreed: "Just the rent one four-seater boat for 180, let's row
it ourselves!"
Anyway,
there were three big men on the scene. Everyone agreed that saving money was
the best, Liu Jing paid the money, and everyone got on the boat.
"The
safest seat is in the middle, let women sit in the middle!" They didn’t know
where Bai Hao heard this.
"I'll
go up first, sit in the front." Together with him was Geng Chengyun,
followed by Liu Jing and Shen Xuan. Although these two girls wanted to
sit with Qin Yueze, safety was more important.
The last
ones on board were Shen Tingshuang and Qin Yueze. Soon, everyone
discovered that rowing was really not that simple. It was originally upstream,
and it took a lot of effort to let the boat move.
The first
row was taken by the duo of Geng Chengyun and Bai Hao. At first, they planned
to row it all at once. At the end, it took a while before they knew that
it was impossible to reach the end, so half an hour later, the two handed over
the rowing task to Shen Xuan and Liu Jing behind them.
The boat has
only traveled for one kilometer. If they continued to row like this, when it
reached the end, it was estimated that it would be at night.
Liu Jing had
already thought about it, she wanted to row with Qin Yueze, so she put the
paddle into Shen Tingshuang's hands: "Ting Shuang, can you row
first?"
"Okay."
Shen Tingshuang saw that everyone found it was too difficult to row, so she directly
took the oar and rowed. Soon, the boat started to slide sideways.
Bai Hao
said, "Shen Xuan, can you give a little bit more effort?" The boat
slide sideways showed that Shen Tingshuang was rowing hard, but Shen Xuan was
not.
Shen Xuan was
very wronged. At the beginning, she admitted that she did not want to use
force, but when she saw the whole ship drifting in the direction of Shen Tingshuang,
she felt it was wrong, but after she rowed as hard as she can it still leaned
to one side.
Qin Yueze:
"I'll do it." Of course, the effect was not much better.
Shen
Tingshuang sighed: "Give it all to me."
Shen
Tingshuang took the oar from Qin Yueze, sat in the stern, and rowed. The boat
started moving faster and faster, and the speed was almost the same with the
crews on the side that were riding on engine boat.
Bai Hao
looked around in surprise: "Tingshuang, you are really strong!"
Geng
Chengyun also nodded again and again, Shen Xuan had to admit that Shen
Tingshuang's strength was not normal. As for Qin Yueze at the end, he fell into
contemplation. Was he a bit slack in fitness recently?
Shen
Tingshuang rowed to the finish line alone. The group completed the task
happily.
Because Shen
Tingshuang had been paddling for too long, when they went back, they decided to
take turns within the remaining five people. It happened to be downstream, and
it was much easier to go back, but even so, the five people rowed for a long
time before they returned to the place where they came from.
When they
got ashore, except for Qin Yueze who was in better physical condition, everyone
felt that their arm was no longer their own. When they returned to the house,
it was already three o'clock in the afternoon. Liu Jing and Shen Xuan went out after
they ate less in the morning. Then they spent a lot of physical energy, which
made them feel very hungry.
Shen Tingshuang
went back to wash her hands and began to prepare lunch. Qin Yueze walked to her
side, took out the green onion, ginger and garlic from the cabinet, and began
to wash these condiments.
Liu Jing
asked: "Tingshuang, what do I need to do?"
Shen
Tingshuang: "Please help boil a pot of water." Liu Jing
immediately helped to boil some water.
Yesterday,
the grandpa and grandma gave a chicken. Shen Tingshuang cleaned it and
chopped it into small pieces, as well as some shiitake mushrooms. After washing
it, it was set aside for later use.
Shen
Tingshuang put oil to the pot, when it was hot she added sliced ginger,
pepper and garlic, sauté until fragrant, put the chicken into it,
pour a little cooking wine, stir-fry and add light soy sauce. Wait for
the chicken in the pot to evenly colored by the light soy sauce, Shen
Tingshuang then added boiling water, boiled it again for a while and put the
previous shiitake mushrooms into it.
After the
soup was simmered, Shen Tingshuang took out the leftover bacon from the
morning, combined with some garlic shoots, she fried a plate of garlic shoots
and bacon.
After that
Shen Tingshuang made stir-fried cauliflower with boiled green vegetables.
Hearing that
dinner was served, everyone immediately sat around the table. Geng Chengyun was
too tired to even play games. He served the dishes, and puts it near the
sitting position of Shen Tingshuang in the morning: "Tingshuang, I will
serve you your meal."
"Okay,
thank you." Everyone sat down as they were last night. "Thank
you so much Tingshuang!"
Bai Hao took
his chopsticks and put down again without hesitation. He was dying. Next to him
was a plate of stir-fried vegetables. It was obviously the same ingredients and
the same pot. Why did he make it so unpalatable yesterday?
So he said.
"It’s so amazing, the color of the stir-fried vegetables was still so
green, and it looks good and also tastes so good."
Geng
Chengyun ate the fried bacon with garlic shoots. He hasn't eaten the bacon this
morning. He ate a bite and felt happy all over his body. Geng Chengyun actually
didn’t eat garlic shoots, but now, eating them with bacon, the taste of garlic shoots
was much more fragrant.
Shen Xuan
smiled and said, "Chengyun, aren’t you afraid that your agent will scold
you?" When Geng Chengyun was in the crew, if he ate more, the agent would
kill him.
Geng
Chengyun: "What am I afraid of? Anyway, I am working and he can't see it
now." He then pointed to the camera inside the house. "I'm
recording a show, and this bacon is so delicious, I want to eat more."
Everyone
laughed, Liu Jing said: "Today I don't want to diet. The most important
thing is to fill my stomach. What's more, Shen Tingshuang cooking is really
delicious. This soup is also delicious, with the fragrance of chicken and the
sweetness of mushroom. The taste is really delicious."
Qin Yueze
took his chopsticks and looked at the Shen Tingshuang who was eating quietly
next to him, feeling as if he was filled with something in his heart.
After
eating, even if everyone feels tired, they still have to clean up the kitchen.
After all, Shen Tingshuang rowed the boat alone and returned to cook, so they couldn’t
do nothing.
Shen
Tingshuang returned to the room to rest first. At five o'clock in the
afternoon, the six people got up one after another. Their task today, there was
still a night scene not completed. When they walked to the living room,
they found six sets of clothes and a card on the sofa on the first floor.
It said [Today
there is a party in the ancient town. Please six guests change their clothes
and participate in this party. If you are recognized by the villagers, you will
be rewarded: a dinner in the style of the ancient town!]
At this
time, everyone was happy, and they choose their clothes. The six clothes were
of different colors, with red, yellow and light brown for women's clothing, and
black, gray and blue for men's clothing.
Of course, bright
colors should be worn to this kind of party, so Shen Xuan and Liu Jing chose
red and yellow. Shen Tingshuang directly took the last light brown
one.
Shen
Tingshuang liked to wear ancient clothes, it was comfortable.
After Shen
Xuan and Liu Jing returned to their room, they used their own stitches to
modify their clothes, so it would be something that suit their body shapes.
Especially
Shen Xuan, with big breasts, round buttocks, and a convex back, she has a
beautiful figure at a glance.
Although Liu
Jing changed some, it was not so exaggerated.
The three
male guests also changed their clothes in their room and went downstairs.
Seeing Bai
Hao's eyes staying on her for a long time, Shen Xuan felt so happy in her
heart.
Qin Yueze
saw everyone coming down and said, "Let's go."
The six
people went to the square. A bonfire has been lit in the center of the square.
Many villagers gathered around the fire and started dancing. Shen Xuan couldn't
wait to blend in: "Let's go."
Although Liu
Jing also learned to dance, her gestures were mediocre.
Bai Hao and
Geng Chengyun also joined.
In the end,
only Qin Yueze and Shen Tingshuang were left, standing outside the circle,
watching the people in the circle dance.
"Yao
hey!" After one dance, the circle automatically extended outward, and
someone on the right held Shen Tingshuang's hands. The person on Qin
Yueze's left also grabbed Qin Yueze's left hand.
The second
tune sounded. A villager shouted: "You two, pull your hands up. The
next dance is about to begin."
"Yes,
hurry up."
The jealous
fire in the eyes of Shen Xuan and Liu Jing was ignited, and they regretted not
standing next to Qin Yueze.
Qin Yueze
raised Shen Tingshuang's left hand, which were obviously gentle and smooth, but
for some reason, the moment she touched Shen Tingshuang's hand, it seemed that
there was an electric current flowing through his heart.
Everyone danced
again.
Qin Yueze
concealed his emotions well and started dancing with the villagers.
At first
everyone thought that Shen Tingshuang could not dance, but when she did, they
realized that Shen Tingshuang danced well.
When she was
still ginseng spirit, Shen Tingshuang liked to imitate people dancing
everywhere, and these movements were not difficult for her.
A total of
three tunes were danced, and the villagers applauded.
Someone came
out carrying a tray with a big horn on it. The villager said, "This
is our custom here. If the guests can finish the wine inside, then your task
will be completed!"
Each of the
six guests was given a horn, and the wine in it weighed about a catty.
Qin Yueze
took a sip and estimated that the alcohol level was at least forty percent.
Bai Hao
drank half of the bottle and his face was already a little ruddy: "No way,
no way, it's too much!"
Liu Jing
took a few sips, and found it a bit spicy.
Shen Xuan
could drink some, but it was impossible to down a catty in one breath.
Only Shen
Tingshuang picked up the horns and drank all of them.
When Qin
Yueze saw this, he quickly thought about how to deal with it, and he was
already discussing with the villagers when he heard someone beside Shen
Tingshuang said: "This young lady has finished drinking!"
Everyone
applauded! "It's great, sister!"
...
"Congratulations,
the task is complete!"
Qin Yueze,
Bai Hao and others: "?"
After some
explanations from the villagers, they realized that this task was actually a
trap. Six people only need to finish drinking one of the horns of wine. After
all, the program group was not that bad, letting six people drink a catty of
wine each. What's more, this wine was more than 40 percent.
But everyone
did not expect they could drink the wine on the same horn. If they calmed down
and think a bit, Qin Yueze should have found this clue. But when he saw Shen
Tingshuang taking a big sip, his first reaction was to stop it. However, Shen
Tingshuang has finished drinking and successfully completed this task.
Liu Jing and
others were dumbfounded, this was not only a mouthful or even a glass of wine!
Shen
Tingshuang put down the horn and hiccuped. This wine should be made by the
villagers themselves with grains, so the taste was decent. Shen Tingshuang was
straightforward so when Xia Xia and others saw Shen Tingshuang's movements on
the screen, they were all shocked.
A crew
member next to Xia Xia said: "Well, can a person finish drinking this in
one breath?"
Originally,
they designed the trap so that the guests could only pass the test after
drinking this wine. If six people couldn’t finish drinking, they would
definitely discuss with the villagers. Then this process was just something
worth seeing, but Shen Tingshuang drank it straight away.
Everyone
looked at Shen Tingshuang's face in the screen, with a little redness among her
white skin, she seemed not drunk at all. For a time, everyone could not
describe their feelings at the moment.
...
The
villagers took six people to a location by the river, which was one of the
spots they have completed during the day. In the evening, the lights by the
river were lit up, which was another excitement.
There were tables
with a lot of dishes in the shore. There were many tables closer to the land,
and there were six chairs on the opposite side by the river. At first glance,
the six guests were arranged on the opposite side.
"These
dishes are our special snacks here, please take your seats."
The
villagers arranged seats based on how much alcohol they had just drunk. People
who drink a lot sat at the main table, so Shen Tingshuang sat on the left in
the middle, and Baihao sits on the right in the middle. Shen Tingshuang's
left was Qin Yueze and Geng Chengyun, while Bai Hao's right was Shen Xuan and
Liu Jing.
Everyone was
seated, and everyone had the same small dishes on the table. The portion was
not much, but the variety was abundant. The villagers introduced:
"This is our vinegar fish, made with fresh fish from the river."
"This
is angelica black chicken soup, which is grown by our villagers."
"This
is our little pastry, sweet and sour."
"Yes,
it's delicious."
One dish
after another, Shen Tingshuang could see the enthusiasm of these villagers:
"Thank you."
