Chapter 143: Well-Versed In Everything

The head chef was naturally Ling Sheng. Team Red’s people only knew how to eat. Even washing vegetables could destroy them. There was no need to expect them to help.

Ling Sheng was displeased that she had failed to get the old hen. She was planning to feed her father cornbread at night and make him healthy so that he would not eat chicken.

However, he was dumbfounded the moment he entered the courtyard.

Damn!

All the good things in the house had been moved out, and the table was full of raw materials, including bee pupas, half a pot of lively little anchovies, half-dried river shrimp, two precious swamp eels, fresh free-range chicken legs, and grasshoppers who had been starved for two days that were ready to be fried tomorrow, as well as conches that had been dehydrated.

Shi Lingyu took a small portion of wild honey out of the house and put it in a bowl. She walked nervously over to Huo Ci and said, “Senior Huo, we went up the mountain to find this. It’s very sweet. Try it.”

“Thank you.” Huo Ci took it with a gentle smile. Upon seeing the food placed in half of the courtyard, his interest was piqued. “Your living conditions are not bad. Looks like I’m blessed today.”

Hadn’t she said she wanted to experience life?

Wasn’t the purpose of this show to make them suffer?

Why was this yard full of game meat?

“Sheng Sheng caught all these.” Mo Ning’s smile was very polite. She walked over to explain and gave him a thumbs-up. “Best Actor, this is really your artist. She’s great.”

Huo Ci gave Ling Sheng a fake smile. “You’re that impressive?”

Ling Sheng smiled, her eyes crinkling slightly. She was a little shy. “Director Mo was too generous with her praise. Everyone deserves credit. I’m just taking the lead. These things were caught by me and my friends. We’ll be happy if you eat them, Senior.”

What was that look of his?

It seemed like he didn’t agree that she should lead such a good life.

He would only be happy if he saw her eating pickles and drinking cold water!

Huo Ci smiled gently. “I’m looking forward to it. I haven’t eaten this kind of food in a long time.”

Shi Lingyu tried her best to control the excitement in her heart, but she did not dare look him in the eye. “Don’t worry, Senior Huo. Sheng Sheng’s dishes are delicious. I promise they’re no worse than a chef’s cooking.”

Huo Ci nodded and looked at her. “Thank you for the honey. It’s very sweet.”

Of course, he knew about the brat’s culinary skills. Even though his mother had been cooking her entire life, she had yet to reach her standards.

“It’s good that you like it, Senior,” Shi Lingyu answered loudly, feeling flattered. Then, she realized that she had overreacted. She hurriedly turned around, pretending not to mind. “I’ll wash the vegetables.”

Huo Ci took a look at Ling Sheng.

Fine!

He had underestimated her.

She was basically well-versed in everything!

“Senior Huo, take a break or ask Little Ye to take you out for a walk. The scenery here is not bad.” Ling Sheng smiled.

She knew that he had kicked her down to seek revenge. Look at his disappointed expression. What kind of father was this?

“That’s too troublesome!” Huo Ci was very polite.

“It’s not troublesome. Anyway, he has to take Little Gray out every day,” Ling Sheng replied casually.

The moment she finished speaking, the guests and production crew were stunned. However, they held back their laughter.

Mo Ning was stunned. She lowered her head and thought, It’s none of my business. I don’t know anything. Why is this girl so bold? Why didn’t she take a look at the person in front of her? How dare she joke?

The key was that she was speaking in all seriousness, and her expression was solemn. If one did not know how ugly she was deep down, one would definitely not expect her to do this on purpose.
