Ten diligent days: the fields are still

Chapter 425

The parking lot needed to be divided by lines. Zhao Yibo squatted on the ground to measure the dimensions, while Lu Zhuo and Li Hao followed behind and used a marker to determine the specific position of the lines.

Wang Yiheng was eager to try, pushing the marking machine and standing at the starting point. "Brother, have you seen the decompression videos? The ones where you can draw a line in a flash. I'll be doing that in a moment."

The imagination is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

"What, brother, are you going to paint a new basketball court here?" Zhao Xiaotong smiled and stepped back to avoid the paint spraying on himself.

"Don't worry, don't worry, everything is under control."

The lines he drew were a bit crooked and looked completely messed up. Everyone around him was laughing so hard, and he himself felt a little embarrassed, but he still said stubbornly, "Drawing straight lines is easy, but drawing like this is hard. This is art, don't you understand?"

Lu Zhuo walked over slowly and patted Wang Yiheng on the shoulder. "Brother, you are still too young. Let me try."

As he said this, he was about to take the machine from Wang Yiheng.

Wang Yiheng let go of his hand, "Brother, you're the one!"

Lu Zhuo was very careful, and this time the line was much straighter, but in the end, there was not enough paint.

Zhao Xiaotong came over with a new bucket of paint and said, "I don't know what's going on over there."

Jiang Dunhao held an iron rake and skillfully pulled away the weeds on the ground one by one.

He Haonan opened the compartment of the tricycle, and together with Zhuo Yuan they carried the garbage into the compartment in tacit understanding.

Li Gengyun and Chen Shaoxi moved the bricks beside them, found the broken bricks, knocked them off gently with a hammer, and replaced them with new bricks.

This small garden is not big, only about fifteen square meters, and there are some unknown flowers left in it.

Yuan Lai reached out, picked a flower, put it under his nose and smelled it. It had a very strong floral fragrance.

The colorful cat in the pocket cautiously poked its head out and made a hissing sound.

Yuan Lai looked at his watch and found that time had passed quietly in his busy schedule. It was time for lunch again.

"Come on, Hongbao, let's go to the kitchen and see if there's anything delicious."

Yuan Lai and Hong Bao walked towards the kitchen. Just as they pushed open the kitchen door, they heard a shout behind them.

They looked back and saw that it was An An.

Yuan Lai let Hong Bao go into the kitchen first, then turned around and walked out the door, hugging An An tightly, "You finally decided to come out of the mountains!"

An An seemed to have come a long way, with beads of sweat on her forehead. She couldn't wait to take out a porcelain bottle and handed it to Yuan Lai, "This is for you!"

Yuan Lai knew that this was a pill An An made for her. Although she was often injured, she always followed the doctor's advice and didn't think she had any problems, but An An always said she was weak.

"An An, you just came down from the mountain." Yuan Lai pressed An An down on the seat, touched An An's head, and handed her two tissues. "Now all you have to do is take it easy, then go back to your room, take a shower, and wait for dinner."

Yuan Lai walked into the kitchen and her eyes fell on an unused pot next to the stove. She walked up to the chef and politely asked, "Master, I'd like to borrow this pot and ask you for a dish to teach me."

The chef smiled and nodded, "Of course, what are you going to do?"

Yuan Lai explained, "I want to make a dish that An An likes. I've noticed that she likes sweet food. Can you teach me a sweet home-cooked dish?"

The chef waved his hand generously, "No problem."

Yuan Lai looked at the chef gratefully, "Thank you, Master."

The chef quickly shook his head. "Oh, what are you thanking me for? It's a sweet dish, right? Do you want to make it with candied silk, honey sauce, or ketchup?"

Yuan Lai hesitated for a moment, "Which one is easier to do?"

The chef thought for a moment and said, "Hmm...how about learning how to make candied sweet potatoes? This is very simple, and sweet potatoes are naturally sweet, so it will definitely taste good."

"Candied sweet potato?" Yuan Lai couldn't help but wonder, "Is it going to be this intense from the start?"

At this time, Zhao Xiaotong and Lu Zhuo walked into the kitchen and helped Hong Bao put the last ingredients into the big pot, waiting for the last ten minutes of cooking.

When they heard that Yuan Lai wanted to learn how to cook, they both expressed their desire to watch.

It would be great if Yuan Sheng were here.

Yuan Lai looked at the second pot of syrup that was poured out and felt a little disappointed.

When she carefully poured the sweet potato pieces into the pot, although she had turned down the heat, her movements were too slow, and the sweet potatoes tended to solidify before they were completely wrapped. She turned up the heat again, and when she poured the candied sweet potatoes into the plate, the stove seemed to have experienced an explosion.

Yuan Lai picked up the plate awkwardly. The food didn't look very good.

Hong Bao walked over, picked up a piece and took a bite, but immediately spat it out as soon as it entered his mouth. "It's so bitter!"

Lu Zhuo looked at the mushy sweet potato on the plate and quickly comforted him, "It's okay. When I first made this, my brother almost couldn't pull it off!"

Zhao Xiaotong said on the side: "Hahaha, cooking is too difficult for you, maybe making desserts would be better."

"How about we make a dessert, the simplest one, which even a novice can make, and preferably one that doesn't require an oven." Yuan Lai decided to listen to Zhao Xiaotong.

The chef smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay, then I'll teach you a simple dessert." After that, the chef asked Hong Bao to serve the stewed vegetables and said to the two people standing beside him, "Call everyone to eat."

Yuan Lai followed the method taught by her master and put eggs, milk and other ingredients into the bowl in turn and stirred them thoroughly.

Then, she turned on the electric griddle and preheated it to the appropriate temperature. While waiting, Yuan Lai followed the chef to learn how to whip some cream and cut some mango cubes and set them aside.

When the temperature of the electric baking pan reaches the right level, Yuan Lai carefully pours the batter into it and spreads it evenly with a spatula to form a thin pancake.

The chef watched from the side, gazing at the surface of the pancake and watching it slowly change color.

"You can turn it over now."

After the whole pancake was fried, she gently took it out of the electric baking pan and placed it on the chopping board to cool slightly.

Then she spread all the batter in the bowl into a pancake, spread cream on the pancake, put diced mango on it, rolled up the pancake, cut it into small pieces of even size, and placed them neatly on a plate.

Yuan Lai tasted a small piece.

Well, the taste is okay. Although it is not as good as those in professional dessert shops, it is already a success for her as a beginner.

I wonder if An An will like it? Yuan Lai felt a little uneasy.

She walked out of the kitchen with the plate and came to the dining table. Her brothers, Hongbao and Anan were already sitting at the table waiting for her.

"Why don't you eat?" Yuan Lai asked.

"Waiting for you!"

"Brother, Yuan Lai is here, let's eat! I'm starving!"

"Eat, eat!"

An An's eyes fell on the plate in Yuan Lai's hand and asked curiously, "What is this?"

Yuan Lai walked up to An An and placed the plate in front of her. "This is a dessert I made especially for you. Try it and see how it tastes."

An An gently picked up a small piece with chopsticks, put it into her mouth, and began to chew it carefully.

Yuan Lai nervously observed An An's expression from the side. Could it be so unpalatable that no one could swallow it?

An An swallowed the dessert in her mouth and said, "It's delicious." Then she picked up another piece and put it in her mouth.

A big stone in Yuan Lai's heart finally fell to the ground.

After finishing the meal, An An took out some pills from his pocket and distributed them to the brothers present. "Just take them with warm water."

Over the next few days, the brothers would get up early in the morning and head to the mountain to plant flowers. Yuan Lai followed them, recording some behind-the-scenes footage.

When I have time during the day, I will continue to transform the garden.

Hongbao, on the other hand, had to follow An An back to Wangshan for more systematic and in-depth study, which meant that he had to temporarily separate from his brothers.

Li Hao tightly grasped the red envelope's hand, reluctant to let go: "This is the first time you've left me to go somewhere so far away. Do you really have to go?"

Hong Bao glanced at Yuan Lai who was standing not far away, then nodded firmly, "Well, I must go."

Although Li Hao was somewhat reluctant, he did not force her to stay. "Okay, we're glad you have your own ideas. Go ahead, and remember to take care of yourself."

The brothers gathered around and surrounded the red envelope tightly in the middle. They repeatedly reminded him about the red envelope and stuffed things into the suitcase until it was full.

An An looked at this scene and complained to Yuan Lai, "This doesn't look like studying, it's just like traveling!"

Yuan Lai listened and explained with a smile: "Hong Bao has been with them since they were little. Now that he's gone, we don't know when he'll be back. How can they not worry?"

An An bumped Yuan Lai's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely return the red envelope and reunite with you during the Chinese New Year next year."

"Then why don't you just wait until after the Mid-Autumn Festival to take the red envelope away? It won't cost you two days anyway."

An An quickly shook her head and said firmly, "No, now is the best time. If you delay any longer, Hong Bao will become more and more reluctant to leave."

Finally, Hong Bao obediently followed An An into the car. The moment the car window closed, the two figures completely disappeared from everyone's sight, leaving only a group of people standing there, silently looking in the direction of the car going away.

"Red envelope, I hope you learn something useful."
