The longed-for village system

Chapter 94 Self-defeating
Chen Qing was still completely bewildered. Had he made a mistake? It seemed that transmigrators always had a lucky buff.

Although he was a complete novice when it came to cooking, he knew at this moment that the dough he had kneaded was not something that the few of them could finish. He hadn't paid attention when he spread it on the table earlier and was a bit flustered.

"Haha! Not bad. This is my first time kneading dough for so many people. I didn't expect it to turn out so well. Luck, luck!"

At this point, Chen Qing would naturally not admit that it was his mistake that he kneaded such a large dough ball. Since no one knew, he figured it was always right to go along with it.

Huang Shi, Teacher He, and others were unaware of the specifics, but the netizens in the live stream and Lao Wang knew everything clearly.

"Wow, is that even possible? He's clearly a complete culinary idiot and can't cook anything, yet he somehow managed to knead dough. Is the landlady's mom the lucky charm?"

"This lucky bonus is a bit too much! It was clearly a mistake, but it worked! Not only did it work, but Teacher Huang and the others praised it too. Is there any justice in this world?"

"Everyone says good looks are everything, but how come this landlord, who's clearly not handsome, is allowed to have this advantage? Isn't that just too unfair?!"

"It's a monster! How could it do this? I was going to make fun of it, but I ended up getting completely outplayed."

"Uncomfortable!"

Not only were netizens upset, but Lao Wang was the most upset at the scene. He had been hoping to see Chen Qing make a fool of himself, but unexpectedly, he managed to resolve the situation by some strange twist of fate.

Couldn't Heaven just grant his wish once? Just once would be enough.

"Director Wang, do you think it's possible that Xiao Chen is actually a good cook, and he's just trying to cheat us out of our ingredients?"

"."

When his deputy mentioned it, Old Wang's eyes widened instantly, and he almost couldn't catch his breath. He felt that he had been fooled by Chen Qing again. This guy actually knew how to cook, but he pretended to be a kitchen novice. How could he have believed him?

In the end, Old Wang's wish was not fulfilled, but they did get to eat lunch for free. Of course, Huang Shi prepared all the food; Chen Qing's job was simply to throw the noodles into the pot and scoop them out. "Hmm! Not bad, Xiao Chen, you kneaded the dough very well."

After taking a bite of the cold noodles, Huang Shi nodded in approval. He thought that with his cooking skills, he might have failed if he kneaded dough for dozens of people at once, but Chen Qing actually succeeded. It seems that Chen Qing's cooking skills are really not bad.

"Delicious! Teacher Huang, your seasoning is excellent, and Xiao Chen, the dough you kneaded is so chewy. It seems our Mushroom House has gained another great chef from now on," Teacher He praised sincerely.

Peng Peng, his sister, Yang Xiaomi, and Da Xun also praised the noodles. Although they couldn't taste anything special about them, they still politely expressed their gratitude to Chen Qing for his hard work.

"Haha! Really? If it's delicious, eat more."

Chen Qing smiled somewhat awkwardly. He didn't even know his own situation. To this day, he still didn't know how the dough was kneaded. If he were given another chance, he was sure to fail.

Of course, he wouldn't say it out loud, since he wasn't responsible for cooking anyway, and who knew when the next time would be!
Everyone ate with great relish, but the most frustrated person was naturally Old Wang, who was increasingly puzzled as to whether Chen Qing actually knew how to cook.

He's supposed to be a good cook, but he clearly couldn't knead dough earlier. If he can act like that silly guy, then his acting skills are no different from an award-winning actor.

But you wouldn't say he didn't know how! He made cold noodles for dozens of people, and surprisingly, they tasted pretty good.

After finishing their cold noodles, the temperature reached a high of 36 degrees Celsius, so everyone moved back indoors. Some took a nap, while others chatted.

The live stream was paused, but the recording cameras continued to record in case any exciting moments were missed.

The live stream resumed after lunch break. It was already 4 PM and the temperature had dropped slightly. Teacher He organized people to go to the sugarcane field to harvest sugarcane, and Teacher Huang also joined in. "Peng Peng, prepare more hooks and ropes, and try to finish the work in an hour."

Seeing that everyone was empty-handed and preparing to go to the sugarcane field, Chen Qing went into the house to get tools and reminded Peng Peng to bring more tools so as not to make a lot of effort for little gain later.

200 sugarcanes are not much for Chen Qing. Even if he goes alone, it will only take him a little over an hour. With the transportation, it will not take more than two and a half hours. If so many people go together, an hour is enough.

This is only because they are a group of celebrities; otherwise, they could have finished in less than half an hour with so many of them together.

"Teacher He, after we cut them down, we can cut off their tails too. Then we can pile them up and burn them to make fertilizer."

"Sister, Sister Mi, you tie the sugarcane together with rope, ten stalks per bundle, so it will be easier to move and sort them."

Under Chen Qing's command, the five men moved forward side by side, while the younger sister and Yang Xiaomi carried the sugarcane together and tied it up. With their tacit cooperation, they quickly exceeded the target of 200 sugarcane.

"How many bundles did you count, little sister?" Pengpeng asked his sister, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

"That's enough. There are eighteen bundles here, and we haven't dealt with the ones on the ground yet. That should be enough for 200 sticks."

Zhang Zifeng counted the number of sugarcane around her in response to her brother's question. She felt that the progress this time was much faster than the last time. Sure enough, practice makes perfect, and once she knew how to do it, the progress was much faster.

"Teacher He, Teacher Huang, that's enough, we've already exceeded 200."

"Is that enough? We're fast enough!"

"It's much faster than last time. It's definitely different when you have someone who knows how to work leading you."

Teacher Huang and Teacher He stopped what they were doing when they heard Peng Peng's voice. They were surprised that the group of people had just casually chopped a few pieces and already met the target number. It really felt like the task was getting easier and easier.

In the previous episodes, whether it was planting corn, rice, or radishes, each task exhausted them and the guests. But now they feel they are enjoying it more and more, and are increasingly experiencing rural life.

"That's enough, Xiao Chen. Let's pack up and get ready to go back," Teacher He called out to Chen Qing, who was standing in front of us.

"okay, I get it."

After everyone finished packing, each person carried a bundle of sugarcane to the Mushroom House. Of course, the two girls carried a bundle of sugarcane, and Teacher He and Teacher Huang, who had recovered from their injuries, also carried a bundle.

"20, 21, 22, 23, there are three more bundles and thirty more sticks."

Pengpeng threw down the last bundle of sugarcane in his hand with a happy look on his face. He had exceeded his task again today, and now he could relax and play happily.

"Great! Everyone, take a break and have some tea! I'll make dinner later." Huang Shi was very satisfied with this outcome.

As the MCs and guests of the Mushroom House leisurely sipped their iced milk, an assistant off-camera asked Director Wang, "Director Wang, this won't do! Their tasks are too easy; there won't be enough time for post-production editing!"

"Why don't you take charge of this? If you can handle Xiao Chen, your salary will double, plus bonuses. How about it?"

"Um, did I say anything? The weather is really nice today! Director Wang, I'll go outside and take a look."
