Shengtian Farm, Lotus Pond.
Autumn Beam's feet continued to sink deeper and deeper, gradually reaching her calves. Was this black quagmire really going to swallow her? Fortunately, he didn't take a big step forward and wasn't far from the ridge. In a panic, he sat down on the ridge and grabbed the grass by the side with both hands. Soon, he realized that his fear and panic were completely unnecessary. He plucked up his courage and raised one foot to ask for it, then stepped on it with the other. Only then did he realize that the mud in the lotus pond was actually not deep. It was only at knee level. Although it wasn't deep, the knee-level mud scared Autumn Beam half to death.
"Fortunately, I didn't call it out just now. Otherwise, I'll probably have to carry this 'stain' for four years. When that time came, there would definitely be people pointing fingers behind their backs. Look, that's Autumn Beam. A foot of mud scared him to the point of peeing.”
Digging lotus roots was not a simple task. Usually, they would first dig a section of the lotus root, then dig along the two ends to keep the lotus root intact. This was not only to pay attention to the appearance, but also to have a good taste. The lotus roots were buried very deep. Digging an entire section of the lotus roots would almost remove all the mud from the ground. Autumn Beam bent over and dug for half an hour, but she had only dug a small section. She was so tired that she could not straighten her back.
"No, I can't do this. One piece is fine.”He walked to the river and washed the black mud on his pants and shoes. He also washed the lotus root. After washing, she carried her shoes in one hand and the lotus root in the other and walked across the bridge to the other side of the river.
At this time, the fish and vegetables were washed clean. The class monitor bought some sealed vegetables and fruits from the farmhouse and called everyone to cook.
"Wait, there's still a lotus root here. Please wash it for me.”
"Haha, hahahaha."
Everyone laughed, and Autumn Beam followed suit.
"Isn't it just digging a lotus root? There's no need to be so happy, right? Is it because I said 'elder sister', which is too frivolous? Or is it because my image is too indecent?”He felt that the students 'reactions were not normal. Just as he was hesitating, Wang Xiaofeng walked to his side. "What is she doing?" Autumn Beam was puzzled. Seeing Wang Xiaofeng raise his hand and reach out to him, he instinctively dodged backward.
" Hahaha!" The students laughed again. Autumn Beam was even more confused.
Wang Xiaofeng shook his head and smiled.”As she spoke, she reached out to wipe him. Autumn Beam didn't dodge this time, but she felt rather embarrassed by the ruckus.
Over at Class Five, the dishes were already on the table, and the rice was almost ready. Autumn Beam went over to see what they had cooked.
"Come, come, eggplant in oil." Huang Zhitian scooped a plate of eggplant from the pot and said.
"Not bad, looks like." Autumn Beam teased.
"Why are you here? Why didn't you stay here and come here to freeload?”
The girls from Class Five laughed.
"No, I just dug out a lotus root and crippled my waist. I came over to see what you guys are cooking.”
"When did you learn how to cook? Why didn't I know about it? Alright, alright, stop pretending. What are you here for?”
"One, admire the dishes in your class. Second, admire the beauties in your class.”Autumn Beam turned to smile at the girls and said,""I'm sorry. I was being frivolous. I was just joking. Actually, I'm here to inspect your class monitor. Is his cooking okay?”
The girls were busy eating while giving Autumn Beam a thumbs up.
"Then I'm relieved. Alright, you guys eat slowly. Don't choke. I'm talking to you, that beauty.”Autumn Beam casually pointed with her index finger, smiled, and left.
There were a total of three stoves in Class 3, and a few girls took turns to cook. As for the boys, they were almost useless, except for Chen Xin. Student Chen Xin was not only good at talking. His hardware was also very strong. His dishes were placed on the table plate by plate. Eggplant in oil, sour and spicy lotus root slices, fried fish, and fish soup. Not only did these dishes look orderly, but they also smelled very fragrant and tempting. Autumn Beam's opinion of Chen Xin seemed to have changed. "He's not that annoying." He thought that a man who knew how to cook wouldn't be too bad. Perhaps he was just like the girls who liked to gossip.
The girls also praised Chen Xin's strength. Those who didn't know how to cook surrounded him. While Chen Xin was busy with the work at hand, he proudly explained to them how to fry the fish and how to cook the fish soup. Liu Qi had grown up in a pampered environment and did not know how to cook. At this time, he wanted to learn from Chen Xin. Chen Xin was naturally happy to teach. One of them asked and the other answered. They were very intimate!
Looking at the two of them, Autumn Beam thought of Hu Shi, so she looked around. Unexpectedly, Hu Shi was not anywhere else but staring at him angrily from a place not far from Chen Xin.
Autumn Beam walked behind Hu Shi and patted his shoulder."I'm afraid you can't compare to him in this aspect.”
"Who said that? I can cook too. Watch me chase him away, I'll do it myself.”
Autumn Beam knew that Hu Shi was not someone who would easily admit defeat to his opponent. "This probably won't work. Why do you have to humiliate yourself? Can your cooking be better than his?”
" I, I…" Hu Shi couldn't continue. Perhaps it was because of his impulsiveness that he realized that his culinary skills were really not as good as Chen Xin's. "Then what should we do? Hmm, hehe, I have an idea."
Hu Shi smiled evilly, his eyes revealing an evil light. This gave Autumn Beam an ominous premonition.
Hu Shi found a branch on the ground and sneaked into the crowd. The crowd's thoughts were all on the cucumber and ham in Chen Xin's pot. No one noticed the commotion behind them. So he gently picked up the branch and stuck it through the crowd.
"Ah, the salt bag dropped into the fish soup.”
When Chen Xin heard this, he quickly turned around to take a look. The bag of salt had fallen into the fish soup, and half of the bag of salt had leaked out. He scooped up the bag of salt from the bowl with a spoon and placed it on the table. Seeing that the pot of fish soup might be ruined, Chen Xin's heart ached. He was unwilling to give up. He scooped up a spoonful of soup and tasted it. "Ah, salty! I can't drink this fish soup anymore." Perhaps his lungs were about to explode from anger, but he just couldn't understand how the bag of salt had fallen into the soup.
After Hu Shi did something bad, he immediately ran away and ran to Autumn Beam's side like an arrow, deliberately pretending to talk to him. Autumn Beam had witnessed the entire process of the " criminal " committing the crime and escaping. She was really angry and annoyed at Hu Shi, especially at that bowl of delicious fish soup.
"It's okay. If you pour the soup away and make it into fried fish, it might still be edible.”Autumn Beam said to the students who were sighing. He was quite experienced in eating fish. The salt had just fallen in, so the salty taste should not have seeped into the fish.
Chen Xin did not want to ruin a pot of fish like this, so he followed Autumn Beam's instructions and made a plate of fried fish.
"As for the fish soup, Hu Shi will let everyone taste it as they wish.”Autumn Beam patted Hu Shi's shoulder heavily and promised everyone. After saying this, he pulled Hu Shi to the side.
"I don't know how to cook fish soup. Aren't you trying to harm me?”
"Don't you want to do something to atone for your sins? Don't worry, I've already thought of a way for you.”
"Really? What should we do? Tell me quickly."
"I just went to class five to take a look. They have a lot of big fish. I reckon they can cook a big pot of fish soup. Didn't we make too much fried fish? We definitely can't finish it. Hurry up and bring a plate to Class Five and get Huang Zhitian to exchange for a bowl of fish soup.”
"Hehe, you're really something."
"Alright, you did something bad and you still want me to clean up your mess.”
Hu Shi picked up a plate of fried fish from the table and smiled at the girls and Chen Xin, who was frying fish."I'll go get you some fish soup.”His words sounded as if he had defeated his enemy, and he was arrogant. Autumn Beam laughed.”
Hu Shi went over and placed the fish on Class Five's table. He spoke to Huang Zhitian for a while. Autumn Beam saw Zhi Tian turn his head several times and smile at her from afar. She guessed that Zhi Tian now understood his so-called "small help". For Zhi Tian, this was nothing. He was happy to help and asked Hu Shi to bring back a big bowl of fish soup. Hu Shi was even happier now. He was simply a victorious general.
The dishes were ready and the rice was cooked, so they started eating. The students ate very happily and praised Chen Xin and the girls for their culinary skills.
The highlight was the fish soup. Autumn Beam drank, deeply impressed by Huang Zhitian's professional cooking skills. Why hadn't she noticed it before?
"This fish soup is really delicious." A girl said," We still have to thank Student Hu Shi.”
"Thank you." Hu Shi was extremely happy. He secretly whispered into Autumn Beam's ear.
Autumn Beam didn't reply. She just smiled and shook her head helplessly.
"Ka! Ka!" At this time, the class monitor took advantage of the time when everyone was eating to take a photo of everyone with a digital camera, recording everyone's cute appearance while eating. Autumn Beam made a face at the camera.
This autumn outing, the students could be said to have returned to their hearts 'content. The car was filled with laughter. Hu Shi was the proudest. He thought that with this small victory, perhaps Liu Qi would be closer to him in the future. Autumn Beam's mood could be summarized as happiness. Even though the students only remembered Chen Xin who made the lotus root slices, they forgot that the one who dug the lotus roots was Autumn Beam. However, he was still happy in his heart. It was as if he had found the innocence he had in high school. He was simply happy.
