The longed-for village system

Chapter 102 A Short Separation

"You'll find out soon enough. Can we order now? Could you please tell Teacher Huang that I'd like to order roast duck?"

"I'd like to order fish maw and coconut chicken, or sugarcane chicken if you don't have fish maw."

"Then prepare a stir-fry for me, a kind of green vegetable, which Teacher Huang knows."

Zhang Zifeng found the dishes the three of them ordered to be exceptionally difficult to prepare. Stir-fried vegetables were one thing, but roast duck, fish maw and coconut chicken were another. If Huang's father knew, he would surely tear them apart, especially considering there was a high-temperature warning today.

With a minimum stable temperature of 30 degrees Celsius and a maximum temperature of 42 degrees Celsius, these two people shouldn't even dream of making roast duck and coconut chicken in such weather.

Of course, Zhang Zifeng, being the eccentric woman she is, agreed. As for whether to do it or what to do, that's up to the head chef; she and her brother are only responsible for relaying the message.

"We might have to make a little more this time, because Haiqing's mother ordered stir-fried vegetables."

"There's also fish maw and coconut chicken, Xianxu." Peng Peng mentioned another customer's request after his sister, and then cautiously looked at Teacher Huang, "There's another senior who I didn't recognize, but he ordered roast duck."

Just as the two had expected, Teacher Huang frowned when he heard about the last two dishes, especially the last one, roast duck.

"Why would you order roast duck on such a hot day? We don't have any." Huang Shi refused without even thinking.

In this weather, I wish I didn't have to cook, yet this person still ordered roast duck. What kind of customer is this who doesn't know how to be polite?

"Teacher Huang, this is a gathering of 'A Little Reunion'! My little sister is so happy now, her dad and mom are both here."

Zhang Zifeng simply smiled and didn't say anything, but anyone could tell that she was in a very good mood.

"When are you arriving? Come early and do all the work for us. We'll have mung bean porridge for dinner."

Yang Xiaomi and Da Xun felt very lucky to see this, at least they got to eat a big meal, while the people who came later could only drink mung bean porridge to cool off, how pitiful!

Unfortunately, Zhang Zifeng's reply made them give up a little. This group of guests wouldn't arrive until the afternoon, and by then they would have already left the Mushroom House, so it was impossible to ask them to help with the work.

After drying the pineapples and making the brown sugar, the outside temperature had already reached over 30 degrees Celsius. Everyone, drenched in sweat, went back inside to wash up and cool off. Huang Shi naturally went back to the kitchen to prepare lunch for everyone.

"Teacher Huang, just make something simple! I don't have much of an appetite on such a hot day," Yang Xiaomi said to Huang Shi, who was busy in the kitchen.

"That's right! Teacher Huang can just make some noodles."

After rinsing off, Da Xun went into the kitchen. He wanted to make lunch something simple and convenient, because cooking in this heat was just torture!

"Okay, let's have noodles for lunch then! It'll be more convenient."

Huang Shi was too lazy to cook, but since the two guests had said so, he didn't bother with a hypocritical refusal. After kneading the dough, he put it in the refrigerator and went back to the inner room to cool off. "This weather is so hot! Xiao Chen, you were so wise to make the kitchen bigger and ventilated. Otherwise, it's so hot that you can't even walk in. I'm going to wash up first, and I'll make noodles later."

After showering, everyone sat together and started chatting again. No one knows who started talking about marriage, but naturally Chen Qing became the target of their collective criticism.

"You've successfully proposed, Xiao Chen, when are you and Xiao Gu planning to hold your wedding banquet? You really need to let us know in advance so that Teacher He and I can help you with the arrangements," Huang Shi asked Chen Qing.

“That’s right, that’s right. Tell us what you’re thinking, Xiao Chen. We’re all your family now, and we’ll make sure you handle things perfectly,” He Jiong chimed in. Chen Qing was all alone and had no one to offer him advice, so it was up to his friends to help him with this important life event.

They considered themselves to have seen a lot of the world and had attended many weddings of friends and relatives in the industry, so they had some good ideas and suggestions for weddings.

Of course, if Chen Qingzhen invites him to be the wedding emcee, then he will have to arrange his schedule carefully to avoid overlap.

Chen Qing naturally understood the unspoken meaning behind Teacher Huang and Teacher He's words, but this was not something he could decide alone. He needed to hear Zhao Xiaogu's thoughts and opinions. At least in the short term, this matter was unlikely to be held.

Although the previous live stream mishap led everyone to mistake his confession for a marriage proposal, and Zhao Xiaogu went along with it and tacitly agreed, he hadn't met the other party's parents yet, so they would definitely have to wait until they met Xiaogu's parents before they could discuss the wedding date.

"Don't worry, Teacher Huang and Teacher He, there's definitely a witness and a host. If you don't come, Xiao Gu and I will definitely come to your house," Chen Qing joked to the two of them.

"Then I'll be your sworn brother, Brother Chen! I promise to bring Sister Xiaogu back to you." Peng Peng also confirmed his identity.

"Peng Peng, are you sure you're okay? All of us sisters will be there for Xiao Gu's wedding. Besides me, there's Shi Shi, Tang Tang, Qin Qin, Baby, and the others. We 90s girls aren't so easy to deal with," Yang Xiaomi teased Peng Peng.

Teacher Huang and Teacher He, as seniors, would give these younger sisters some face and not prank them, but as sworn brothers, how could these sisters miss this rare opportunity?

The first of the 90s sisters to get married, wouldn't it be a shame not to celebrate their youth and the title of "first"?
Seeing Yang Xiaomi's playful smile, Peng Peng immediately backed down, saying, "Brother Chen, I'll still help you carry your bag then! If that's not possible, we can set off firecrackers."

He had no choice but to back down! Every single one of these women was someone he dared not offend; they were all currently the hottest actresses.

He also had a little scheme in mind: he hoped his sister-in-law and her friends could introduce him to beautiful women. After all, beautiful women are always surrounded by other beautiful women, and he couldn't afford to lose out too much.

"Pengpeng, you're such a coward! How are you going to find a girlfriend like this? If it were me, I'd like to see who would dare to stop me."

"No, Brother Chen, we're guys! This isn't really appropriate!"

"What's wrong with that? If you're a man, you should face it head-on. As long as you're both single, if she dares to stop you, just carry her home. You can be a best man and solve your own marriage problem at the same time. Isn't that a great deal?"

Peng Peng was dumbfounded by Chen Qing's serious expression. Such a crazy move? Wasn't he afraid of getting called in by the police for a chat the next second?
"Hmm! That's a good idea. Pengpeng can learn from it. Maybe we can attend your wedding after Xiao Chen's wedding." Huang Shi said to Pengpeng with a serious expression, suppressing a laugh.

"Alright, you two, stop talking nonsense." Teacher He saw Peng Peng's hesitant expression and knew that this naive young man had been fooled by the two of them. He quickly interrupted and reminded him, "Peng Peng, don't listen to Teacher Huang and Xiao Chen's nonsense. If you do, you'll be trending on social media tomorrow."
