Chapter 14
Ingredient Storm
Not long after they made their choice, Ding Chen arrived.
After seeing Yu Su and the others leave on the tractor, he helped the old man who was picking up dry firewood on the road for a while before he was sent over by the old man on a tricycle.
Looking at the remaining ingredients on the table, Ding Chen took a fish without hesitation, leaving only a few potatoes and a handful of vegetables.
Yu Miao, Ye Chang, and Shen Chun arrived half an hour later.
The three of them sat in an ox cart with ugly expressions.
The owner of the ox cart must have pulled something on the ox cart. It was filled with dried mud, and the ox’s body was not very clean. Yu Miao’s white dress had already turned gray, and there were some indistinct black spots on it.
On the way, the three of them encountered an old man driving an ox cart. They asked for a ride, but the old man asked them to fertilize the land for him before he was willing to take them. The three of them smelled the stench of fertilizer and wanted to refuse, but they did not have the courage to walk at all. They could only grit their teeth and help.
Xiao Han sat on the stone bench. From afar, he could smell the unpleasant smell on the three of them. He frowned and covered his mouth with his sleeve.
Yu Miao’s exquisite makeup was already ruined. From afar, she saw the lonely ingredients on the stone table. She looked up at Xiao Han and said in an aggrieved tone, “Can we be in the same group as you?”
“No, I already have a teammate.” Xiao Han rejected her very decisively. He didn’t like Yu Miao. If he was in the same group as her, he would have nothing to eat.
Moreover, he had teammates now after all, so he had to consider the feelings of his teammates. He remembered that the young lady called Yu Su did not like the woman in front of him.
“Xiao Han, can you give us some ingredients?” Ye Chang also walked over. The three of them couldn’t just eat vegetables and potatoes tonight, right?
Xiao Han asked, “Why? I got the ingredients with my own ability. Why should I give them to you?”
Ye Chang’s face darkened, but he could not flare up. He could only smile awkwardly. “We live here together, so we definitely have to help each other. Next time, if you need anything…”
Before Ye Chang could finish, he was interrupted by Xiao Han. “I won’t need anything. Thank you.”
He did not like Ye Chang. This person was too hypocritical.
Although they were guests of the same show, there was no rigid rule that everyone had to be united. Moreover, since the production team said that they could form teams freely, there would inevitably be compet.i.tion later on. Since there was a compet.i.tion, there had to be a compet.i.tive spirit.
At this moment, Yu Su walked out of the house.
The place they lived in this time was a large courtyard. There were two small tiled houses in the courtyard. They should be from a big family in the village. From the looks of it, there should be at least two brothers in the family.
Yu Su looked at the originally s.p.a.cious courtyard that was filled with people and a group of people surrounding Xiao Han. She knew what was going on. Hence, she took the ingredients and walked towards the kitchen of the house on the left.
“Yu… Yu Su, you guys have a lot of ingredients. Can you share some with us?” Ye Chang refused to relent and targeted Yu Su, who had just come out.
In his opinion, Yu Su’s cold att.i.tude towards him was just because she was making a fuss and she did not want to lower her head first. Now that he had given her an out, he believed that Yu Su would definitely agree to let everyone eat together or share some food with them.
When Yu Su heard his words, she did not even turn around. “No, the three of us only have these things. It’s just that there are more types, but there’s not much of each. We can’t even eat our fill. Since we’re here, we have to abide by the rules of the show. We can’t wait for others to give us alms every time, right?”
Ye Chang did not expect Yu Su to reject him so bluntly even though he had already taken the initiative to speak.
He vaguely realized that Yu Su did not seem to be fighting with him. Instead, she really wanted to cut ties with him. However, he was unwilling to admit it in his heart. He could only keep telling himself that she was just trying to anger him and attract his attention.
“Can you not be so selfish? No matter what, we have to live together for so long.” Shen Chun looked at the two of them who had failed in their negotiation and was a little exasperated. She could not accept only eating a small potato after working so hard to climb the mountain.
Yu Su really could not understand why these people always liked to criticize others for being selfish.
“Ms. Shen, get this straight. We didn’t violate the rules by taking too much. It’s a favor to give it to you, but it’s our duty not to give it to you. After all, we are not able to be so selfless to starve ourselves and feed others to their fill. I believe you wouldn’t do the same, right?”
