Chapter 677: Chapter 20: The Cannon Fodder Starlet Who Gives Up on Struggling (Part 20)

Jiang Qu imitated Jiang Lai’s actions and stir-fried a few times.

Doing it this way indeed doesn’t scatter the rice everywhere and it feels more convenient.

The last plate of rice was served, and the entire kitchen was filled with the aroma of oil.

After finishing the fried rice, Jiang Lai used yesterday’s dough to make some noodles, adding some lard and scallions, which looked quite plain.

"Eat more, only then can your hand heal quickly."

Half of the fried rice earlier was wasted by Jiang Qu, and the rest surely wasn’t enough to eat.

Adding this bowl of noodles would definitely be enough.

Jiang Qu wasn’t fond of eating something so plain, but after trying the first bite with a frown, his eyes lit up.

It clearly only had salt and MSG, with a bit of lard added, so why was it so delicious?

The texture was unlike any noodles he had before, bouncy and chewy, even the inside was flavorful, making it very appetizing without being greasy at all.

Beside him, Jiang Lai was applying something, occasionally feeling Jiang Qu’s incredible gaze.

[Isn’t this the typical interaction between siblings, not saying much but having great chemistry when being together?]

[This bowl of noodles Jiang Lai made looks so tasty!! Why, why is the noodle soup so clear when cooked?]

[It should be because of the noodles, I just saw it, Jiang Lai’s kneading technique is very meticulous, whether a bowl of noodles tastes good or not actually has little to do with the seasoning, the most important thing is the noodles]

[I’m hungry, cooked a bowl of instant noodles, pretending it was made by Jiang Lai]

After the meal, Jiang Qu voluntarily washed the bowls, and also filled up the thermos bottle Jiang Lai often carried with water.

At 7:30 in the morning, gathering at the entrance of the village.

The director was shouting through a loudspeaker.

"Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, the last one to arrive has to settle their own lunch today."

Jiang Lai and Jiang Qu arrived first, as they lived closest.

Qu Yongjia and Qu Yongwei also came, the little girl even held two lollipops in her hand, and immediately handed one to Jiang Qu upon seeing him.

"Brother Jiang Qu, this is for you."

"Thank you."

Han Li soon arrived with Han Lu.

Just like Qu Yongwei, Han Lu immediately ran to Jiang Qu’s side, silently watching him the whole time, smiling very shyly.

[Hahaha Jiang Qu looks so helpless, being sandwiched between two little girls]

[The screen is full of pink bubbles, Lu Lu, you are only ten years old, mom won’t allow you to behave like this] 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

[Strange, why do these two little girls like Jiang Qu, even a blind person can tell Lu Ming is better]

[Simply because Jiang Qu picked cherries for them yesterday and shared his bread with them, while the supposedly better Lu Ming almost cried just because his hand got a little scratched yesterday]

The last group to arrive was Lu Huan and Lu Ming.

Lu Huan seemed to have just woken up, looking very pretty and delicate even without makeup, her skin looking fair and rosy under the sunlight, her lips also looking red and glossy.

"Sorry, I slept too late yesterday, so I came without washing my face today."

After saying that, she rejoined the team with Lu Ming.

At this time, she looked at Jiang Lai and remarked.

"You woke up so early, and even had time to put on makeup!"

Jiang Lai laughed lightly.

"Is your makeup waterproof?"

"Huh? What are you talking about? I didn’t have time to put on makeup this morning."

"Oh, that’s good, the director just mentioned that today’s task involves water, so be careful to protect your bare face."

"..."

[So did she put on makeup or not?]

[Looks like she didn’t, Huanhuan’s beauty is obvious, she certainly doesn’t need to wear makeup]

[Laughing hard, normally when people wake up, their face is shiny with oil, who the hell wakes up with a matte peach blossom face!]

[Fifteen years as a makeup artist, Lu Huan did wear makeup, full makeup, report complete]

[Some sour grapes are here to smear others because they’re ugly, just keep being sour, you’re still ugly!]

[Jiang Lai is just bitter that she’s good-looking]

[Hahaha, it’s hilarious, does Jiang Lai even need to be jealous of Lu Huan? Anyone with eyes can see who looks better!]

The barrage was intensely arguing, the scene was also tense.

Because the next task was indeed to be completed in the water.

Strictly speaking, in the river.

"Twelve treasure chests are floating on the river, everyone needs to row boats to fish them out, each treasure chest corresponds to an ingredient, which will be lunch and dinner for everyone today.

The password for each treasure chest is in this ditch.

The ditch contains crayfish lowered last night, and the password is on their backs.

Alright, from now on, team up in pairs, the game begins."

Pair up?

Qu Yongjia instinctively looked at Jiang Lai.

Seeing that the other party had no other expressions, she quickly pulled Qu Yongwei over.

"Jiang Lai, let’s team up."

"Sure."

Just then, Han Li also directly approached Lu Huan.

With the teams formed, the older sisters put on life jackets to row boats and fish for the chests, while the younger brothers and sisters teamed up in pairs, putting on boots to get into the water and catch crayfish.

Han Lu also wanted to get in the water, urging Lu Ming.

"Brother Lu Ming, we have to hurry, or all the crayfish will be caught!"

Lu Ming, however, was not in a rush at all, watching Jiang Qu go down first, then slowly put on his boots, gloves, and walked around the bank before going inside.

Qu Yongwei was a bit curious.

"Why are they only catching crayfish in that corner? We have a lot here too."

Jiang Qu looked up and then continued to bend down to catch shrimp.

"Don’t worry about them, we’ll catch ours."

Walking in the mire was very laborious, the chubby Qu Yongwei got stuck after only a few steps.

Jiang Qu looked at her sunburned face, and helplessly asked her to wait by the bank.

"Sorry, I’m too chubby."

"Chubby is cute too, you catch on the bank, I’ll handle the rest."

[Aaaaaahhhh, groundhog screech]

[It proves that no matter how old a girl gets, she can’t resist Domineering President’s talk]

[Oh my god, are those abs? I actually saw abs on a fifteen-year-old kid!!]

[If Jiang Qu stays normal, I feel like he will definitely shine in the future!]

[Those who say Jiang Qu is handsome need to watch old videos to wash their brains, someone with violent tendencies growing up is a scourge!]

[Cursing a child like this, are you okay? Jiang Qu is just a bit rebellious, and you make him out to be a societal freak!]

[Still supporting Lu Ming, verified in person, character and looks are reliable, you can support without worry]

The sun was getting more poisonous.

Jiang Qu could clearly see his sweat dripping into the mud bog.

He wore a straw hat, feeling drenched in sweat from head to toe, even his eyelashes were moist, under the sun the heat was steaming up making it hard to breathe.

But thinking about Jiang Lai working hard to fish for the boxes on the other side, he gritted his teeth, enduring the pain in his palm, and continued groping in the mud wearing rubber gloves.

Soon, his bucket was all filled up.

And on the other side, the competition was also over.

The slackers Lu Huan and the bad-backed Han Li were definitely no match for Jiang Lai and Qu Yongjia, so the harvest between the two groups was vastly different.
