Chapter 277 The Story of a Spoon of Bean Paste and Eggs
Huang Lei put on an apron and stood in front of the integrated stove to cook, finally no longer suffering from the smoke, feeling very happy.

Peng Yuchang and Zhang Yixuan helped out, and new guests Qiao Shan and Liu Xiaoyi saw that everyone was busy, so they also took the initiative to find work.

Peng Yuchang led Qiao Shan to beat garlic, and Liu Xiaoyi picked green onions.

Huang Lei said: "I'm going to make boiled beef later, and I need bean paste....Peng Zai, go and ask Xixi for two spoons of bean paste."

"Okay." Peng Yuchang found Xixi, smiled and said, "Director Xi, Mr. Huang needs two spoonfuls of bean paste for cooking, please give me some."

Xixi smiled and said: "No." He said firmly, "You can buy it, six trees a bottle."

Peng Yuchang didn't dare to make a decision, and immediately went back to report, "Mr. Huang, if they don't give it to you, let us buy a bottle for Liukeshu."

"Okay, no problem, you go buy a bottle." Huang Lei said.

Peng Yuchang ran over again, and said to Xixi: "You don't need alms, we have money, so we bought it."

"Okay." Director Xi ran to the warehouse to get the watercress, and when he was about to hand them over, he was stopped by Wang Zhengyu, "The price increase, six trees can't do it, I need 12."

Xixi hesitated for a moment, wanting to say that I have already said it, and it would be unkind to temporarily go back on it, but looking at the chief director in front of him, he kept all these words in his stomach, did not dare to say them, and immediately nodded in agreement.

He ran over to Peng Yuchang and said, "I quoted the wrong price just now. A bottle of Doubanjiang costs 12 trees."

"What? Do you want 12 trees?" Peng Yuchang was amused, and immediately reported to the superior: "Master, they backtracked, and a bottle of bean paste costs 12 trees."

Everyone was stunned. The price increase of the program group was too fast, and the price doubled in the blink of an eye.

"They are taking advantage of the fire to rob us and take us for granted. Although they have money, they can't waste it like this. Don't!"

Huang Lei complained, paused, and continued: "Peng Zai, you said you should try a spoonful first, and if it tastes good, we will buy a bottle."

Peng Yuchang ran over to talk again, Director Xi agreed, and he ran back to report again, very busy.

Huang Lei smiled and said, "Peng Zai, they said they can try a spoonful, but you can take a big spoonful."

"Is this okay?" Peng Yuchang picked up the ladle for scooping water. The caliber was bigger than his head, and it would not be a problem to hold three or four bottles of bean paste.

Seeing this, everyone laughed happily and had ideas.

"Okay, let's go."

Peng Yuchang ran over again, Xixi saw that he was not panicked at all with the big ladle, took out a spoon the size of a pinky finger, and scooped out a full spoonful from the bean paste bottle.

"Director Xi, it's too much. Your little bean paste is too bland for me to eat now."

"you eat."

Peng Yuchang: ...

"Don't worry about these details, give more."

"No." Xixi shook her head, "If you still want it, buy 12 trees."

"Okay, you're ruthless." Peng Yuchang couldn't help it, and returned to the kitchen with a handful of bean paste.

Huang Lei cast a glance and said, "That's all they give? It's not enough."

Peng Yuchang explained, "I can't help it either. When I went, Xixi took out a spoon the size of the head of a little finger and scooped it up."

Qin Shu interjected: "They're too much, I'll take it."

He picked up a rice bowl and strode out of the kitchen. Huang Lei and He Jiong looked at his leaving back, smiled slightly, and didn't stop him. It would be best if Qin Shu could get Doubanjiang.

"Director Xi, give me some more." Qin Shu put the bowl in front of Xixi.

"No, you have already tried it, you have to buy it if you want it, 12 trees are actually not expensive."

"You're taking advantage of the fire....Will you give it? I'm not as talkative as Peng Zai." Qin Shu glanced at the bean paste in his hand.

Xixi had seen Qin Shu's 'rogue' behavior before, and immediately hugged Doubanjiang tightly in her arms, and took a few steps back.

This scene was seen by everyone who followed Qin Shu in the kitchen, Qiao Shan joked with a smile: "What's the matter? Is Qin Shu going to grab it?"

Liu Xiaoyi answered with a smile and said, "It looks very similar, look at Xixi, guard against him like a thief."

Qin Shu's deterrence is much greater than that of Peng Yuchang.

Peng Yuchang joked: "What's the robbery? Qin Shu went to rob the warehouse a few days ago."

Qiao Shan joked: "Peng Peng, you need to learn more, you should grab it just now."

"I want to, too, but my strength doesn't allow it." Peng Yuchang was very calm. If he had the skills of Qin Shu and Huang Lei, he would dare to occasionally break the rules set by the program group.

Everyone smiled slightly. He was telling the truth. Before he had no strength, he still stayed in the framework established by others.

On the other hand, Xixi still insisted on the principle and would not give anything.

"Are you sure? Let me ask one last time." Qin Shu pretended to stretch his muscles and bones, as if he was ready to do something.

"No, no, no, I won't give it."

"Really?" Qin Shu stared into his eyes, and suddenly changed the topic, "Okay, you won, so forget it."

After speaking, he turned and left, instead of going back to the kitchen, he walked into the stone path, walked outside, and suddenly started to trot while walking.

He turned his head and joked, "Director Xi, what do you think this is?" He took out the thin wire and shook it.

A staff member shouted: "Xixi, hurry up, Qin Shu is going to the warehouse."

When Xixi heard the words, she immediately turned around and ran towards the warehouse.

Qin Shu took a look, smiled lightly, did not speed up, and when he ran to the warehouse, Xixi had already arrived, panting and hugging the padlock on the iron chain.

"You don't want to go in today, unless you step on me."

"Don't!" Qin Shu took a few steps back, "I was just passing by and didn't want to go in....You can continue to hug, I'm leaving."

He was just teasing him just now, and didn't want to go to the warehouse to grab things.

Seeing him leave, Xixi relaxed her tense heart and let go of the padlock she was hugging. Suddenly, Qin Shu turned his head and swayed his body towards the warehouse door. Xixi immediately hugged the padlock again.

Qin Shu chuckled and said, "Don't panic, I'm just passing by. I'll go to the fellow's house to order some bean paste."

After finishing speaking, he left without looking back, and came to a two-story house where an aunt was picking vegetables in the yard. Qin Shu walked over with the rice bowl in his hand, and said politely, "Hello, auntie, can you give me a meal?" Do you want some bean paste? Our family has run out."

"Yes." The aunt looked at the camera a little cautiously, "Your name is Qin Shu, right? My daughter likes you very much, and there is a picture of you in her room."

"Thank you, how old is your daughter?"

"It's the second grade."

The two chatted casually. The aunt took him to the kitchen and scooped up half a bowl of bean paste for him. Qin Shu had nothing to thank, so he could only take a photo and sign.

"Auntie, thank you, I'm leaving first, come and play when I'm free."

Qin Shu bid farewell and left. When passing by the warehouse, seeing Xixi still guarding the warehouse, he joked: "Don't guard, what do you think this is?"

Show him half a bowl of bean paste, and return to the kitchen with a smile.

"Where did it come from? You won't be robbing the warehouse again?" Huang Lei teased.

"Ms. Huang, look at what you said, am I such a person?... I asked for these bean pastes from an aunt."

After a pause, Qin Shu continued to laugh and said, "Xixi was too funny just now. I passed by the warehouse door. He thought I would go in. He ran over at a speed of 10 meters in 100 seconds and hugged the padlock on the door tightly. Say 'step over me if you want to get in'!"

He imitated Xixi's righteous indignation and pitiful expression, which made everyone laugh.

He Jiong smiled and said, "You can't bully Xixi, why do you keep bullying him?"

Qin Shu teased, "Teacher He, you can't blame me, who told the director not to change, Xixi has always been on guard."

Everyone had fun again.

With the bean paste, the boiled beef can be cooked smoothly. There are more meals for lunch today, and Huang Lei continues to be busy.

"Jingjiong, wash the vegetables and put them in the boiled beef later."

"Ok."

He Jiong took the vegetables to the well to wash. He moved his ears slightly and heard clucking sounds coming from the chicken coop. There should be eggs in it again. He thought about getting the vegetables after washing for a while.

At this moment, Zhang Zifeng walked up to him from the kitchen.

He Jiong smiled and said, "Sister, did you hear that too? Have the same idea as me?"

Zhang Zifeng was bewildered, shook his head and smiled, "What? I'll help you press the water."

"Oh, come on."

Zhang Zifeng pressed the water, and He Jiong said while washing: "The chicken should have laid eggs again, you can take it out later."

"Have you laid it again? No way." Zhang Zifeng remembered that he only picked up 6 eggs yesterday, so it shouldn't be so fast.

"Yes, they lay every day....Okay, go and pick up the eggs." He Jiong had already rinsed the vegetables.

"Oh." Zhang Zifeng walked to the fence of the chicken coop to have a look, and saw them walking around wantonly inside, bowing their heads and pecking at the soil, feeling a little scared.

He smiled and said, "Would any of the newcomers want to experience picking eggs?"

Qin Shu was amused when he heard her words, walked out, and said with a smile: "Zifeng, wouldn't it be over if you go in and pick it up?"

"I'm afraid they'll peck me."

Qin Shu walked to the side of the chicken coop and looked at it: "They won't peck you, you just go in and take it, if anyone dares to peck you, I'll stew it for you."

"Oh, let me go in and give it a try." Zhang Zifeng walked in and saw a hen sitting on an egg. He was at a loss as to what to do. He turned his head and said, "I only saw one hen, and the others are hatching. Let's forget about it. I'll do it next time." take."

Qin Shu laughed and joked: "There are only hens and no roosters inside, so what's the use of hatching eggs? It can only be broken.... You still expect it to hatch chicks."

"But it's hatching? I can't handle it."

Qin Shu exposed her ruthlessly, and joked with a smile: "Don't talk about it, you just don't want to get it.... Can't you just drive the chicken away?"

Zhang Zifeng smiled, she really didn't want to take it, "How do I drive it away?"

"You said hen lady, please get up, I want to take your egg. . . . so it will come out."

"Nonsense." Zhang Zifeng didn't believe it, walked to the chicken coop with a smile, and said softly to the hen, "Can you come out and play?"

"Zifeng, it hasn't been to school, and it doesn't know human language." Qin Shu said.

"Oh." Zhang Zifeng changed his tactics, "Check cluck cluck... come out quickly."

It's quite cute to communicate with her in tenth-level chicken language, but the old hen doesn't care about her, and still sits persistently in the chicken coop, unable to see what's going on.

"Brother Qin, why don't you come here." Zhang Zifeng was helpless.

Beside, He Jiong was watching the fun with vegetables, Qiao Shan and Liu Xiaoyi also came out to watch, Zhang Yixuan stood far away, his scalp tingled when he saw a group of chickens in the chicken coop.

Qin Shu didn't enter the chicken coop, and said with a smile: "Why are you so gentle? Can't you just bring it up?"

"Yeah? I don't dare." Zhang Zifeng didn't dare to lift the chicken's neck.

He Jiong joked: "You think everyone is like you, and she is afraid to catch another Zifeng." Then, he turned to Qiao Shan and said, "Brother Shan, do you want to experience it?"

"I can't." Qiao Shan waved his hand quickly, "I'm scared when I see chickens."

"Are you afraid of chickens too?" He Jiong was amused, and said to Zhang Yixuan, "Yixuan, there are people of your kind here."

Zhang Yixuan still didn't dare to go over, and waved his hand to greet Qiao Shan.

Qiao Shan’s phobia of chickens is slightly milder than Zhang Yixuan’s. He tried his best to control his fear. He went to the chicken coop to take a look and wanted to prove himself by taking the eggs, but in his eyes the chicken was a terrifying monster, and he thought of taking it from under it. Egg, it's scary to think about it, but in the end he still lost to the 'chicken' and withdrew from the chicken coop.

Liu Xiaoyi was not afraid, and walked over to lift the chicken coop out of the chicken shed, "Chicken, come out quickly." His tone was also very gentle, due to his personality, he was a warm man.

The hen squatted inside, stable and motionless, and Liu Xiaoyi didn't dare to reach in and dig under the hen for fear of being pecked.

For a while, he couldn't help it.

He Jiong joked with a smile: "A group of people are surrounding a chicken, but there is nothing they can do about it." Come on, you saved your own egg!"

Qin Shu joked with a smile: "Mr. He, I feel that you are flattering and killing it. When Mr. Huang gets angry, it will not only not be able to keep its own eggs, but it may not be able to save its own life. Mr. Huang dares to eat it raw, just like eating sashimi Same."

Huang Lei heard it in the kitchen, and quickly retorted, laughing: "Fuck you, I dare not! I am a cooked food person."

Everyone laughed.

Huang Lei continued: "You are good enough, you can pick up eggs and flowers, Qin Shu, hurry up and pick them up for dinner."

"Good."

Qin Shu pushed open the door of the chicken coop and walked in. Zhang Zifeng and Liu Xiaoyi stepped aside to see how he picked it up.

Qin Shu did put his hand in, but he didn't pick up the eggs, but the chicken. He grabbed the chicken's neck, pulled it out abruptly, and put it on the ground.

"Sister, it's all right, let's pick it up." Qin Shu clapped his hands and said calmly.

"Wow, it's really violent." Qiao Shan joked.

Qin Shu's behavior was in stark contrast to Zhang Zifeng and Liu Xiaoyi's gentle actions. There were eight eggs in the chicken coop, and now they could take them with confidence.

Putting the chicken coop back into the chicken coop and waiting to come back tomorrow, Qin Shu washed his hands and began to serve dishes with bowls and chopsticks, ready to eat.

Today's lunch is very rich, including fried pork with chili, cold cucumber, boiled beef, braised eggplant, winter amaranth and so on.

There were many people today, they ate in the dilapidated pergola, and everyone sat around the table. He Jiong welcomed the first guests of Mushroom House with tea instead of wine.

"good to eat!"

We ate together for breakfast and lunch, eating with relish, one bite after another, the dishes on the plate were decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"It's so full! It's delicious!" Qiao Shan half-lyed on the chair, stroking her belly comfortably.

Jokingly said: "The meal is eaten, we should go too."

Peng Yuchang smiled and said, "Let's go? If you come to Mushroom House and don't do some work, you will have no cars or boats, and you won't be able to leave."

Everyone was amused and laughed.
