Chapter 56
No matter how much money Tang Jingran had, he couldn't withstand the justice descending from the heavens on Li Wenchuan's side. Thus, he came in second and was assigned to wash and chop vegetables, with Zhao Shiyao as his partner.
Just thinking about their previous experience gave Tang Jingran a headache, but he could only go negotiate with this young mistress.
"How about I fetch the water, and you wash the vegetables?" Just don't splash water all over the yard later.
"Washing vegetables is so dirty. What if I have an allergic reaction?" She looked sorrowfully at her slender, jade-like fingers.
Tang Jingran took a deep breath and endured it. "Then I'll wash the vegetables, and you can chop them?"
"I've never chopped vegetables before. What if I cut my hand?" Just thinking about it made her face go pale.
"..." No more deep breaths. To hell with deep breaths. "Then pick something you can do. Don't hold up dinner here." He had wanted to tell her not to get in the way, but he held it in.
In the end, Zhao Shiyao chose to give the vegetables Tang Jingran had washed one final rinse, pick through the vegetables, and plate the chopped ingredients.
Tasks that one person could have finished alone were forcibly broken into scattered bits and pieces. Even the cameraman's mouth twitched as he watched.
Xiao Yi and Su Mingwei were in charge of cooking, while Li Wenchuan and Jiang Hansheng were responsible for shopping. Since the shopping came first and the cooks also needed to consider what to make, the four of them went to the market together.
It was already quite late. If it hadn't been market day, there probably wouldn't even have been any stalls left. Quite a few vegetables had wilted.
