After the True Heiress Travels Back-Chapter 862: A Bountiful Harvest
Chapter 862: Chapter 862: A Bountiful Harvest
Qiao Yiyi explained the situation truthfully.
"Before you came back, Brother Chen and Sister Yuejiao had already returned. The dish they prepared is crucian carp soup, and they have already reported it to the director..."
The rules for completing this task had already been explained before.
The dishes provided by each group cannot overlap.
First come, first serve.
Quan Feifei had missed the opportunity, so making fish soup was no longer suitable.
Qiao Yiyi didn’t know that Quan Feifei had spent an entire afternoon haggling with the fish vendor to get that fish. He thought she had obtained it easily, so he looked at the tofu in her hand and asked, "Sister Feifei, are you and Shi Yaoguang planning to make fish soup and then some tofu with scallions? Although the show has rules that you can’t make the same dish, you can make braised fish. The show doesn’t explicitly prohibit it."
Of course, Quan Feifei knew there was no such rule.
But she was still unhappy.
She had insisted on getting that fish specifically for making fish soup.
She believed that fish was the best for making soup.
Now, making fish soup was pointless.
That made her extremely frustrated.
But she couldn’t say anything in front of the camera. However, Qiao Yiyi’s words reminded her.
She smiled and pretended to be relaxed, "I originally intended to make fish soup with tofu. Since Brother Chen and Sister Yuejiao have already registered it, I’ll change the dish."
Qiao Yiyi was a bit surprised, "Weren’t your ingredients meant for two dishes?"
Although Qiao Yiyi couldn’t cook, he could roughly estimate the value of a fish.
If Quan Feifei hadn’t bought that fish together with Shi Yaoguang, wouldn’t she have spent quite a bit of money?
They only had a budget of one hundred yuan for their group. How would they spend it in the next two days?
Seeing Qiao Yiyi’s confusion, Quan Feifei said awkwardly, "I got this fish by haggling with the vendor."
Hearing this, Qiao Yiyi was a bit shocked, "Sister Feifei, you can haggle?"
He was sincere in saying this.
There was no sarcasm at all.
However, to Quan Feifei, it sounded like extreme mockery.
Her face stiffened, and she said awkwardly, "Y-Yes..."
"Life can sometimes require haggling."
Qiao Yiyi nodded vigorously, "That’s right. When my mom goes out to buy things, she can’t help but haggle."
"If I had learned her skills, I could have saved a lot of money too."
He was genuinely feeling regretful. To Quan Feifei, it sounded like an added layer of sarcasm.
Saying he couldn’t learn the essence meant that Quan Feifei was really good at it?
For a simple girl, this might be seen as a frugal virtue.
But for Quan Feifei, it was blatant ridicule.
She was convinced that Qiao Yiyi did it on purpose!
Thinking of this, her face turned green.
Qiao Yiyi didn’t realize that he had hit a nerve with Quan Feifei.
He swore he had no ill intentions at all.
He was genuinely sincere when talking to Quan Feifei.
He guaranteed he had no strange thoughts!
If Quan Feifei didn’t believe that...
emmm...
Then it just meant that Quan Feifei lacked confidence. What did that have to do with Qiao Yiyi?
Quan Feifei looked at Qiao Yiyi’s indifferent expression and cursed him inwardly.
But she couldn’t show it on her face.
Not only couldn’t she show it, she had to make it seem like she was unaffected.
This made her feel extremely aggrieved.
And she had no solution.
After all, they were being filmed.
Anything said at this moment would be inappropriate.
Fortunately, she still had Shi Yaoguang as a fallback.
Quan Feifei believed that her relentless haggling for the fish was impressive.
Shi Yaoguang definitely couldn’t surpass her.
As a result, Shi Yaoguang would definitely be inferior to her.
At that time, Shi Yaoguang would be completely crushed by her.
How satisfying that would be!
However, the reality was completely different from what she imagined.
Not only did Shi Yaoguang not come back empty-handed, begging for her help.
She came back with a basketful of goods, with a bountiful harvest!
In comparison, Quan Feifei felt like a joke!
Shi Yaoguang didn’t care what Quan Feifei was thinking; she carried a large basket, attracting everyone’s attention.
This.
Once she returned, she immediately entered everyone’s view.
The guests of the Love Cabin came out one after another, asking what Shi Yaoguang had brought back.
Shi Yaoguang placed the basket on the ground and took out her spoils one by one.
Quan Feifei originally intended to mock Shi Yaoguang, but when she saw all the wild fruits, vegetables, mushrooms, chestnuts...and even wild chickens, rabbits, and three fish!
She was stunned, her face full of disbelief, "How did you get so many things?"
She looked at Shi Yaoguang, her eyes filled with doubt.
She only gave Shi Yaoguang fifteen yuan, how did Shi Yaoguang get so many things?
No.
Shi Yaoguang might not have even spent a penny!
Thinking of this, her face turned pale with embarrassment.
Qiao Yiyi looked at the abundance of goods and couldn’t help but give Shi Yaoguang a thumbs up.
"Yaoguang, as expected of you!"
He said, then looked at Quan Jinbei, "I have to say, Brother Quan, you are really steady. Even without waiting for Yaoguang’s return, you knew she would succeed!"
As he spoke, he whispered to his own camera, "Honestly, I feel a bit guilty participating in the Love Cabin and being paired with Brother Quan."
Without waiting for anyone to ask, he explained his guilt.
"If it weren’t for my intrusion, maybe Yaoguang and Brother Quan could be paired together. Then everyone could watch a sweet romance, instead of watching Brother Quan and I wasting time together. Sigh... I feel truly ashamed."
The live chat also started scrolling rapidly.
Indeed.
If not for Qiao Yiyi and Quan Feifei, they might have witnessed a divine romance.
But then again, who knows.
Given the director’s manipulative tendencies.
Divine romance might happen, but they might also stir up other conflicts.
As things are now, it isn’t too bad.
Even though the moments of sweetness have to be picked out carefully, isn’t it more satisfying that way?
It was precisely because of Qiao Yiyi’s words to the audience that he gained more affection from them.
Look at Little Qiao, how pitiful he is?
He also wants to see the lovely couple like everyone else!
But unfortunately, fate...
No, more precisely, the show’s crew didn’t favor them.
What can be done?
After venting their anger at the manipulative crew, everyone came back to watch Shi Yaoguang share her spoils.
Shi Yaoguang didn’t intend to keep all the goods to herself; she said all the things she brought could be shared and used by any of the guests as needed.
Such generosity shocked everyone.
Especially Quan Feifei.
Earlier, when Qiao Yiyi asked her if she and Shi Yaoguang planned to use the fish and tofu to make two dishes, she explained that she and Shi Yaoguang were working separately.
At that time, she made it clear she didn’t want to share her ingredients.
But now Shi Yaoguang brought so much back and immediately offered to share.
The difference was striking.
Even if no one said anything, they felt less fond of Quan Feifei.
Quan Feifei could guess their thoughts, but what could she say?
She could only curse Shi Yaoguang in her heart for being so devious!
She was such a cunning person!
It was obvious to anyone that Shi Yaoguang was using her generosity to highlight Quan Feifei’s stinginess.
Quan Feifei cursed Shi Yaoguang in her heart, her face twisted with anger.
Qiao Yiyi noticed her expression and sincerely asked, "Sister Feifei, are you feeling unwell? Your face doesn’t look too good."
