Chapter 102: Life in Taoyuanju (2)
Whether it is who has the money and who has the final say, or who is good at cooking, it is Joan who has the upper hand.
Faced with this irrefutable fact, Cui Cheng opened his mouth and finally said nothing.
As a result, the final division of labor quickly settled: Lu Yan and Xi Mumu went to pick persimmons, Cui Cheng continued to threshing corn and was responsible for various logistics, and the only "pillar" - the young and strong Peng Yu undertook the heavy work of grinding cornmeal and chopping firewood. As for feeding the "family" of Taoyuan Curie - a litter of dogs, a litter of chicks, a lamb, a cow...... Joan really didn't want to think about such a baldness problem.
However, fortunately, there are two good news: the first is that after the corn is threshed, it can be saved for a few days to grind together, and the firewood is temporarily enough, so Peng Yu joined Lu Yan and Xi Mumu's persimmon picking army;
Of course, the so-called good news is relative to Taoyuanju, and for Qiao An, especially the latter one, it is not good news at all, but bad news!
Fu Yueze, the kitchen killer, is completely supported by takeout!
Cui Cheng gloated and comforted Qiao An: "Don't be like this, we can all help too!"
Qiao An's gaze swept over Cui Cheng, and the disgust was overflowing.
"Hey, how many dishes can I cook anyway?" Cui Cheng crossed his fingers and introduced it seriously, "Scrambled eggs with tomatoes, tomato egg soup, and the newly learned tomato egg noodles!"
In short – permutations and combinations of tomatoes and eggs.
Qiao An sneered, not expecting Cui Cheng at all. Fortunately, Peng Yu can light the fire, Xi Mumu can help wash the vegetables, Lu Yan can help chop the vegetables or something, it should be ...... Barely so.

As it turned out, Joan's prediction of the outcome was relatively accurate, although the process was ...... There were a lot of small accidents, the most serious of which was that she accidentally scratched her hand while peeling the crab shell.
This little episode caused a lot of shock in Taoyuanju, and the most obvious reactions were none other than Cui Cheng and Lu Yan. Lu Yan, who was also in the kitchen and was about to pour water, was so frightened that he poured the hot water bottle plug directly into the cup, and hurriedly looked at Qiao An's injured hand.
The index finger of his right hand was cut by the crab shell, and the hot and salty juice flowed onto his hand, and the feeling was extremely sour! Qiao An's whole face was wrinkled together, and he was pulled by Lu Yan the whole time, rinsing the wound with cold water, and his eyes were full of distress!
Peng Yu, who was helping to burn the fire in the kitchen, rushed to get the medicine box as soon as possible, and didn't notice this detail, but the camera crew pointed the camera at the wound on Qiao An's hand and didn't notice it, but several assistants and planners keenly discovered this scene, and one of them was a "Yan'an C" fan, and his eyes flashed with golden light.
However, Peng Yu came back quickly: "Brother Lu, use this spray, and then bandage it!"
Peng Yu, who often bumps and bumps into injuries, is very skilled in dealing with these.
"Whew-"
"W-oh!"
The spray containing the disinfectant function was sprayed, and the stinging sensation coming from the wound made Qiao An couldn't help but gasp and let out a painful exhale.
"Does it hurt?" Lu Yan looked up, his eyes full of concern.
"It's okay, it's okay......" Joan gasped in response.
Peng Yu didn't feel the aura of the couple between Qiao An and Lu Yan at all, and introduced it bluntly: "It's a little painful, but the effect of disinfection and hemostasis is very good! As long as you spray twice, it will reduce swelling and relieve pain, stop bleeding and disinfect, and the effect will be very good!"
The program team members who found a close relationship between Qiao An and Lu Yan at the scene all shouted in their hearts for Peng Yu's dullness: At this time, he actually advertised the title sponsor, and the sluggishness of the straight man of steel was no longer saved. No wonder you can't shoot a kiss scene or find a girlfriend!
Lu Yan didn't notice that there was only Qiao An left in his eyes, and he sprayed it lightly, and then carefully bandaged Qiao An with the largest band-aid, for fear of hurting her.
At this time, Cui Cheng and Fu Yueze also learned the news from Xi Mumu and hurried over to take a look.
"Oh, it's just a small injury, don't make it so grand!" Joan smiled reassuringly.
"Then what's going on? You need to take good care of the gold lord's sister!" After confirming that Qiao An was fine, Cui Cheng, who was relieved, began to joke again, enlivening the atmosphere, "If something happens to you, I will be banned, okay?"
It can be seen that the relationship between Cui Cheng and Qiao An is indeed very good, and they can communicate so easily.
Joan gave him a roll of the eye.
"I'll deal with the brown crab!" Lu Yan took the lead in proposing a solution, refusing to let Qiao An continue to cook with his injured hand.
"Yes, yes, you talk, let's do it! Come on, come on, Sister Jin has started class, let's all learn two tricks!"
※※※※※※※
The most difficult to handle brown crab, peeling, chopping, digging the meat, leaving yellow...... Lu Yan and Cui Cheng did it for them, but the rest of the process was completed by Qiao An herself.
Although the process is a bit tortuous, what is presented in the end is not a gluttonous feast:
Steamed rice with lotus fragrant sausage with local characteristics, boiled pork slices with oil splashes, simple stir-fried vegetables and mushrooms, and white fungus wolfberries stewed in a casserole until bedtime at night......
Of course!
The most important dish is the cheese baked crab treasure and the salt-and-pepper crab!
Steamed brown crab, the shell is peeled separately to make cheese baked crab treasure, and the rest of the crab meat is chopped open and stir-fried with salt and pepper, no matter from the color, aroma, taste, which is particularly attractive!
"I'll tell you! This is Qiao An's specialty dish! Must eat!" Fu Yueze pointed to the cheese baked crab treasure, his eyes flashed with green light, and he swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva fiercely, "If any of you think the calories are high, you can give it to me!"
As a person who barely paid much labor in the dinner session, Cui Cheng did not hesitate to reject his proposal and slapped his hand stretched out to the cheese baked crab treasure hard: "You eat last!"
"Hey, hey, I've cooked milk coffee for you, okay!" Fu Yueze protested dissatisfiedly.
"Please, drink milk coffee at night, do you still want us to sleep?" Cui Cheng rolled his eyes mercilessly and slurped, "Tut-tut, I didn't expect you to be such Fu Yueze!"
The fights between old friends all reveal deep friendship. Xi Mumu's eyes showed envy, and he secretly said softly to Peng Yu, who was about the same age and had just co-starred with a brother and sister not long ago: "Their relationship is good!"
Peng Yu took Xi Mumu a can of her favorite milk, poked the straw, stuffed it into her hand, and then put her hand on Xi Mumu's shoulder, and said happily: "Our relationship is good!"
