After Meng Chuyuan finished explaining, Lu Jinsen took a toothpick and carried the bag of prawns out of the kitchen to deal with them.
Lu Jinsen sat under the roof and opened the plastic bag. He looked at the prawns that were still alive and kicking, and a trace of hesitation flashed across his eyes.
He held a toothpick in one hand with his other hand still on the plastic bag. His gaze was fixed on the prawn, but he did not move for a long time.
After a while, Lu Jinsen finally reached out.
Just as the audience was looking forward to him picking out the shrimp veins, they saw that he had only reached out his hand as a test. When he saw the shrimp move, he was so frightened that he retracted his hand. He held his breath and tried to probe down again. Then, he picked up a shrimp, dropping it before he could take it out of the bag.
He did not expect his actions to be mocked by tens of millions of viewers. [No way? Young Master can’t even handle a bag of prawns??]
[I’m dying of laughter. Hahaha. Is Lu Jinsen afraid of being bitten by prawns?]
[I didn’t expect Lu Jinsen to be such a comedian. Does that prawn know how to bite or eat you?]
[As expected of my daily source of happiness. Why is Young Master so funny in everything he does?]
[I didn’t expect this prawn to be so cunning. It dropped right after it was picked up, hahahaha.]
[We’ve been professionally trained not to laugh unless absolutely necessary.]
This was the first time Lu Jinsen had come into contact with live prawns. When he saw them jumping around, he really did not know where to start. When he touched the prawns just now, he did not dare to hold them firmly because he was a little afraid.
He adjusted his breathing and picked up the shrimp again. He gripped the shrimp tightly and poked the back of the shrimp with a toothpick, successfully removing the shrimp vein.
After Lu Jinsen found his bearings, he picked up speed. Soon, he successfully completed the mission Meng Chuyuan had given him.
He carried a basin of shrimps back to the kitchen and helped start the fire. [Not bad, this child already knows how to put himself to work.]
[Young Master is really self-aware this time. He has already mastered the skill of starting a fire.]
[I could tell from his removal of the shrimp veins just now that he was really changing.]
[Is there a possibility that he’s hungry? Hahaha. Through my previous observation, I realized that Young Master is especially proactive when he’s hungry.]
In the afternoon, they exchanged their coins for shrimps, a Yellow Croaker, kilts, vegetables, and eggs.
Meng Chuyuan made scrambled eggs with shrimp and used the remaining shrimp to make salt and pepper shrimp. There was also a cold kilt with vegetables and Yellow Croaker soup.
Because they didn’t have a refrigerator at home, they didn’t exchange for too much ingredients, and it was just enough for a meal.
In the evening, rose-tinted clouds hung on the gray sky.
Meng Chuyuan’s team set up a table in the courtyard to eat. They listened to the sound of boats sailing in the distance and ate dinner leisurely.
Because they had promised the village representative that they would go fishing with them at night, everyone changed into warm clothes and went out after dinner.
When the six guests gathered at the dock, it was already dark.
Initially, Qi Yan did not plan to come. Actually, she could still use the her leave in the afternoon as an excuse not come. However, after thinking about it carefully, the recording for the day was almost over, and she did not seem to have much scenes.
After some thought, she decided to go fishing with them at night.
When they saw Qi Yan appear, the other guests were quite surprised.
Liao Jiake asked with concern, “Sister Qiyan, are you feeling better?”
Qi Yan smiled and replied, “Much better.”
Meng Chuyuan heard that she was unwell from facing the cold winds in the morning. At this moment, Meng Chuyuan felt that Qi Yan’s condition was only average and did not seem to be much better.
Meng Chuyuan glanced at Qi Yan and reminded her kindly, “Sister Qi Yan, the wind is stronger at night. Aren’t you cold wearing so little?”
Qi Yan’s face stiffened.
Although she really did not want to talk to Meng Chuyuan, she could only force a smile and say, “It’s alright.”
[Is this the first time Qi Yan and Sister Meng have spoken to each other?]
[Does anyone feel that something is wrong? I keep feeling that the interactions between the two of them are somewhat awkward. Could it be that something happened between them in private?]
[Qi Yan’s smile is so forced. I feel that she doesn’t really want to talk to Sister Meng.]
[If she doesn’t want to talk to her, so be it. Sister Meng is just concerned about her health.]
Meng Chuyuan was wearing a cap and a low ponytail. She was wearing a white heattech and a blue jacket. The zipper of the jacket was pulled to the top and pressed against her chin. She was wearing a pair of black wide-legged jeans and a pair of white shoes.
She really wrapped herself up tightly. After putting on her mask, her hands were in her pockets, and only her eyes were exposed.
Qi Yan’s hair was disheveled and covered her shoulders. She was only wearing a short gray sweater, black high-waisted pants, and a pair of white boots. When the evening wind blew, she seemed to shiver slightly.
Atter a while, the village representative appeared in a fishing boat.
“Everyone, have you been waiting for a long time? I’m really sorry. We were cleaning the fishing equipment just now, so we were a little late.”
Meng Chuyuan said, “It’s okay. We just got here.”
The village representative came to the shore from the boat. He glanced at them and silently counted the number of people. He did not expect everyone to be here.
Meng Chuyuan asked, “Does this mean that the three of us will be on the same boat?”
“Yes, it does.”
When Liao Jiake heard this, she said in shock, “In that case, we might have to separate for the time being.”
[Help! My d*mn choice dilemma is acting up again. Which group should split up?]
[Can’t you prepare an extra ship? I don’t think it’s appropriate to split any group up.]
[I’m used to having three teams. It’s a little strange for them to suddenly be divided into two teams.]
[It can’t be helped. The fishing boat is only so big. It can’t carry so many people. Let’s see how they decide.]
The six guests looked at each other and did not make a decision for a long time.
The village representative stood at the side and watched for a while. He could not help but urge, “How is it? Have you decided who to team up with?” Everyone thought that staying silent would result in a final compromise. Moreover, Qi Yan had already decided not to go.
Qi Yan opened her mouth and was about to say what she was thinking when she heard a cold voice beside her interrupt her.
“I’ll go with Qi Zhen and his sister.”
Qi Yan: ‘
Meng Chuyuan was the one who said that. When Lu Jinsen heard that, his eyes widened and he looked at her in disbelief.
Qi Zhen could not help but be stunned. He did not expect such an outcome. However, he was quite impressed that Meng Chuyuan could step forward at this time.
He looked at Meng Chuyuan gently and smiled welcomingly. “Okay.”
Seeing that Meng Chuyuan had made a decision, Liao Jiake took the initiative to help smooth things over. She smiled at Lu Jinsen and generously invited him. “Then Little Lu, come with us.”
Meng Chuyuan looked up at Lu Jinsen and said, “Go on. Take good care of the two sisters.”
Lu Jinsen felt suffocated. He could not understand why Meng Chuyuan had pushed him to someone else.
