Chapter 15

[Puff……]

[How embarrassing! I wonder what Bai Li feels.]

[I am dying of laughter. One second ago, my face was written with "I am so red, they will definitely worship me when I say my name", and the next second, I was slapped in the face 23333]

[Schrödinger's sudden popularity, hahahahaha, someone has been marketing her sudden popularity for so long, but in the end, ordinary people don't even know who she is! ]

[Since Bai Li came here, she has been targeting Lin Miaomiao intentionally or unintentionally. She deserves to be slapped in the face. I let you do that! ]

Lin Miaomiao only knew that Bai Li was an actor—she had said so herself this morning. So she had no choice but to tell the truth: "Is it only an actor? I'm not sure."

The three people were standing close to each other, so even if they whispered in a low voice, it was no longer a secret. Bai Li's face suddenly turned darker.

Sister Chen understood Bai Li's identity and looked at her with a smile, "So you are also an actor, what drama did you act in? I'll go and see it some other day."

When Bai Li looked over, he had already put on a professional smile and smiled as he announced the title of a drama, "It's currently airing on Banana Channel during prime time."

Sister Chen thought about it and suddenly realized, "Is it that ancient costume? So it was you who played it, a big star!"

Bai Li finally felt better. Just as he was about to respond modestly, he heard Sister Chen say, "I'm busy planting rice recently. I'll go watch your show when I'm done. By the way, Miaomiao..." She looked at Miaomiao again, "What can I do for you?"

"I want to buy some cured pork ribs for hotpot tonight. Sister Chen, do you still have any cured pork ribs?" Lin Miaomiao said.

"Yes." Sister Chen took Lin Miaomiao to the kitchen and pointed to the rows of smoked bacon hanging above the stove. "You want a few pieces? I'll get them for you."

Sister Chen's pigs were very fat, and the ribs were very big. Lin Miaomiao was unsure about what to buy, so she called Xu Jiayan. Sister Chen brought a stool, and after hearing the answer, she took it down quickly, and finally took two more.

"These two are for you." Then she took out two pieces of cured pork skin and gave them to Lin Miaomiao. "This is specially picked pig skin, without fat. Soak it in hot water and wash it clean, then boil it in water to make it salty, cut it into finger-width pieces, stir-fry it with a little oil, add water and simmer it for a little longer, and finally add some garlic sprouts and chopped peppers to stir-fry. It's very delicious and can be eaten with rice!"

After wrapping up the cured meat, Sister Chen ran to find a clean bottle, "You didn't chop the peppers, right? I'll pack some for you. I chopped them myself."

Lin Miaomiao thanked her quickly. She only came to buy some cured pork ribs, but ended up taking two more ribs and cured pork skin. Even the chopped peppers for cooking were given to her as a gift...

After packing the bags, Sister Chen suddenly asked, "Do you want winter melon?"

Lin Miaomiao's heart skipped a beat. Before she could say anything, she heard Sister Chen say, "I'll get you a winter melon. It's planted in the yard."

Sister Chen turned and ran into the house, and took out a large winter melon from the storage area under the stairs. "It's not hot yet, so be careful not to get it wet when you cut it. You can leave it there and eat it slowly."

Lin Miaomiao: "...Sister Chen, you gave me so many things."

Sister Chen waved her hand generously, "Oh, we grew them all ourselves, and we can't eat them all. By the way, do you have garlic sprouts? Do you have enough vegetables for the hot pot? I have some in my field, I'll go pick some."

Lin Miaomiao: "Uncle Chun asked us to go to his field to pull them out."

Sister Chen: "The ones he has are old and not tasty, the ones I have are tender."

Lin Miaomiao thought for a moment and asked, "Sister Chen, please calculate how much it is per pound, and we will buy it from you."

They usually only have one vegetable for every meal, and there are no vegetables for sale in the village, so they go to Uncle Chun to pick a small handful. But the amount of vegetables needed for hot pot is much greater than this.

"Why are you talking to me about money?" Sister Chen patted her on the back unhappily. "We grow vegetables for our own consumption and not for sale. We can't finish them every year. When the temperature rises, the vegetables grow fast. If we don't eat them, they will all get old."

Then Sister Chen went to find a big dustpan and took Lin Miaomiao and Bai Li to the field. They filled the dustpan with spinach, chrysanthemum, Chinese cabbage, cauliflower, celery, and coriander. Finally, she let Lin Miaomiao and Bai Li each hold a large cabbage.

When they got to the back, they put them on the ground, added preserved meat and winter melon, and the ground was full...

Just when Lin Miaomiao was worrying about how to take it back, her cell phone rang.

"Miao Miao, have you found the cured pork ribs?" Xu Jiayan asked.

"We found it, but there were too many things and we couldn't move them." Lin Miaomiao said truthfully.

"A lot?" Xu Jiayan was slightly surprised. "How many are there? We'll go over and help you."

Lin Miaomiao told her the names of the dishes. Xu Jiayan was silent for a while and said, "I'll ask Teacher Ye and the others to get them for you."

Ye Zimo and his friends had already finished moving their things. On their way back, they happened to meet Xu Jiayan and others, and were immediately assigned to do hard labor.

Seeing that it was Ye Zimo and his friends, Sister Chen took out several more white radishes and said, "White radish soup is delicious and sweet."

The four men, each carrying cured pork ribs, a dustpan of vegetables, radish, cabbage and winter melon, said goodbye to Sister Chen and returned to the courtyard in a mighty procession.

[…This Sister Chen is a very nice person. With so many things, she must have saved Lin Miaomiao and the others a lot of money! ]

[In fact, it’s not just Sister Chen. I found that other people in the village are also very enthusiastic and often give gifts to them. ]

[Is this vegetable freedom? There are so many fresh vegetables that they can’t even finish them! ]

[2333 Believe me, vegetables are really free in the countryside. You can eat as much as you want, and basically every family will grow a lot. If you don’t have a certain vegetable at home, you can go to other families and ask them, and they will also let you pick it, because if you can’t finish it, they will be cut and used as fertilizer. ]

[That’s right, last year when I went to my girlfriend’s hometown for the New Year, we used baskets to pick vegetables from the fields when we had hot pot. We started preparing after lunch and spent the whole afternoon washing the vegetables. It was the first time I saw people eating vegetables just like drinking water. I was so shocked that I showed off to everyone, just like the first time I went to the city.]

[I think the key lies in Lin Miaomiao. Although it would be a waste if you can't finish eating the vegetables, it depends on whether someone is willing to give them to you. Otherwise, it wouldn't be considered a waste even if they rot in your own field as fertilizer.]

[Yes, the key is that Lin Miaomiao is awesome. I don’t know if you have noticed that these days, whenever she walks into the village, she feels like she is at home. She can talk to anyone she meets, and everyone is not as reserved with her as they are with other people.]

Yang Jun held the winter melon and looked at it from left to right. He still felt that the winter melon in his hand was like a dream, so he asked Lin Miaomiao: "Sister Miaomiao, how do you manage to bring back a lot of things every time you go out?"

She's not a frog, so why does she always bring back gifts?

When Lin Miaomiao was a cat, she knew that she was cute and likable, but it seemed that many people didn’t like “Lin Miaomiao” as a person, and she had acted like that before, so everyone should have hated her. Why was it different from what she expected?

But she doesn't worry about these things now. Anyway, she has found her master and doesn't have to do the control group tasks anymore. She will be happy if everyone likes her.

"I don't know." Lin Miaomiao frowned blankly, "Maybe everyone likes me, so they are willing to help me?"

"That's right!" Su Zhixing nodded seriously, "Miaomiao is so cute, of course she's likable!"

"Yeah." Ye Zimo rarely took the initiative to express his opinion and agreed with Su Zhixing's words.

In fact, he knew in his heart that Su Zhixing and the others only saw the cuteness on the surface of Lin Miaomiao. If they could discover Lin Miaomiao's cat-like side, they would definitely like her more deeply.

Yang Jun nodded as he listened, and thought about it from his own perspective. He really liked Lin Miaomiao, who was cute and caring, and would always call him to surprise him.

"I understand!" Yang Jun said, "If I ever see Sister Miaomiao coming to me to buy something, I would be willing to give it to her too!"

Bai Li followed them, but her mood was not good at all.

In addition to promoting the TV series, the most important thing for her to come here was to express herself. But now, not only did she fail to express herself, but she was repeatedly slapped in the face and sabotaged by Lin Miaomiao!

And judging from the attitude of the Happy Farmers towards her, they don't hate her at all as the rumors on the Internet say...

Although Xu Jiayan knew from the phone call that there were many varieties, she didn't guess that the quantity would be so large. When she saw them coming back with a bunch of vegetables, she was dumbfounded for a while.

"How can we finish so much?" Zhao Shuya said with a wry smile.

"Eat slowly." Lin Miaomiao pointed at the winter melon and Chinese cabbage and said, "Sister Chen said these are long-lasting. We can eat other things first."

“But this is too much…” Xu Jiayan muttered softly, and then continued to praise Lin Miaomiao as usual, “You really deserve to be our mascot, Miaomiao, you are amazing!”

"It's good that you know!" Lin Miaomiao raised her chin proudly, "I said I was responsible for finding the food, look, I found a lot!"

Xu Jiayan: “…”

No, sister, your style is not right!

What happened to you during the two days I was away?
