Chapter 487: Chapter 486: Learning How to Handle Seafood

Mianmian, who knew nothing about the ongoing online events, was attempting to catch a crab hiding in a crevice between rocks.

Her reflexes had slowed down considerably from before; despite reaching out with accuracy, the crab managed to slip away each time.

Charlie saw this and came to help.

A tall figure and a small one, both drenched in sunshine, were now covered in mud and sand because of a single crab.

The morning passed without any sudden instances of the Illusion Technique.

Mianmian found this strange!

Carrying a basket alongside Charlie, she returned to the Variety Show crew’s house to tally the morning’s seafood points with the statistician.

After an entire morning of struggle, without finding any rare delicacies, their added points totaled only 21 points. Compared to the points of others on the leaderboard, theirs were the lowest, while Hu Xiaohong’s team had the highest with 35 points.

Charlie felt disheartened, "This isn’t even enough to make up for our negative points."

Feeling a little guilty upon hearing this, Mianmian exclaimed, "Oh no."

She had handed over the seafood she had found with such difficulty along the way to Hu Xiaohong’s group, all part of her clever plan. If she hadn’t given it away, she wondered if they could have had more points by now?

Now, any seafood they chose to keep for eating wouldn’t count towards their points. Only the portion handed over to the crew would earn them points.

But having been busy all morning, Mianmian and Charlie were hungry, so they opted to exchange 10 points and got some water spinach and rice from Hu Zhengguo, then started cooking.

Charlie was terrible at cooking! Mianmian decided to take over!

She moved a chair into the kitchen to stand on, asking Charlie to pick the vegetables.

Charlie, who had never done this before, separated the leaves and stems of the water spinach upon hearing he had to pick vegetables, tossing away all the stems and placing the leaves in a clean basket.

Mianmian, surprised by Charlie’s actions, asked, "Charlie, you don’t know how to pick vegetables?"

With a blush on his face, Charlie responded, "Uh-huh."

At over thirty years old, with fair skin, his blush was particularly noticeable. Additionally, his crystal blue eyes were filled with shyness, making him look like a blond, bashful beauty.

The audience, as if only just noticing Charlie’s bangs had been set free, started causing a commotion in the Live Broadcast Room.

[Oh my god, the handsome guy truly is a delight to the eyes, just looking is pleasurable.]

[I really feel like anyone who partners up with Little Auntie seems to undergo the Rejuvenation Technique. Hahaha, Charlie looks so fresh.]

[Think about silly Fei, when he was with Little Auntie, he cried so naturally, rejuvenated too powerfully, and turned into a 3-year-old kid!]

"No worries, I’ll teach you."

Since she was going to teach, she started with the name of the water spinach itself.

Charlie kept mispronouncing "water spinach" as "hollow talent," and Mianmian had to correct him several times before he got it right.

"You see, apart from this old part at the bottom that needs to be thrown away, all the other parts are edible. We do it like this, like this, like this! And then it’s all set!"

Indeed, watching a cute kid teach an adult how to pick vegetables was a treat for the eyes.

Charlie was a quick learner, muttering "water spinach" while following Mianmian’s instructions to prepare the vegetable properly.

Seeing that Charlie wasn’t making mistakes anymore, Mianmian stood on the chair, ready to handle the collected seafood.

She had thought it would be similar to dealing with wild chickens or rabbits, but once she had them in her hands, she realized that each of these creatures was different.

The list Hu Zhengguo provided only listed the types of seafood they could collect, without instructions on how to process them.

After some thought, Mianmian decided to go and learn from Liu Hui first.

She first told Charlie that she was going out to learn how to prepare seafood, and after explaining, she grabbed her basket and darted out.

Not knowing where Liu Hui’s house was, Mianmian could only ask the staff. After listening to the staff’s instructions, she then walked outside.

However, even though she clearly asked for the location of Liu Hui’s house and the staff answered with the location of Liu Hui’s house, Mianmian ran straight to Hu Yingying’s house.

The staff wanted to remind her, but they also had to abide by the rules set by Hu Zhengguo.

If a guest asks a question, they can choose to answer, but they can’t take the initiative to remind the guest that what they are doing is wrong.

Now that Mianmian had come to Hu Yingying’s place on her own, they had no choice but to dutifully follow and film to see what Mianmian planned to do.

After arriving, Mianmian shouted, "Youyou, Liu Hui, I’m here!"

No one responded from inside the house.

Seeing that the door was open and the camera was following her, Mianmian kept calling out as she entered.

If Gu Youyou and Liu Hui were at home, they would not ignore her; if they were home, perhaps this house wasn’t where Gu Youyou and Liu Hui lived. It was easy to guess who might live here—it must be Hu Yingying and Hu Xiaohong!

Just as Mianmian thought, she reached the kitchen, and the door to the kitchen happened to open.

It was Hu Yingying who came out, her face full of confusion: "Little Auntie, what brings you here?"

Mianmian replied with a smile, as if she hadn’t just asked the wrong person, "I’m here to see how you guys prepare seafood."

Hu Yingying was about to speak when Situ Zha’s voice came from outside: "Hey, Mianmian."

Mianmian turned around to see Situ Zha striding in: "I saw you heading this way. What are you doing here?"

Mianmian: "I don’t know how to clean seafood, so I came to learn."

Without another word, Situ Zha took Mianmian with him: "I’ll have my mom teach you. Don’t stay here; it’s bad Qi."

He didn’t wait for Mianmian to speak, and pulled her away with him.

Hu Yingying frowned as she watched the two little ones leave, and when she returned to the kitchen, she twitched the corner of her mouth where the camera couldn’t see.

Hu Xiaohong saw Hu Yingying’s expression, lowered his gaze to hide the disdain in his eyes.

Wasn’t it just that they set up something in the kitchen, trying to trap Su Mianmian and then blame her when it failed? Was it worth wrestling with herself in her mind like this?

The variety show was still ongoing; they would have plenty of opportunities.

Thinking of how, in the variety show, Su Mianmian must swallow that medicine pill, unable to use her strength to fight them, Hu Xiaohong felt happy.

He wasn’t a righteous gentleman; he just liked the feeling of bullying the weak.

This morning, Su Mianmian was pushed by him, and he hurt Su Mianmian’s hand, yet when Su Mianmian came back, she didn’t hurt him. Moreover, when accused, Su Mianmian was so angry she couldn’t say a word, her expression was really funny.

He detested children who were spoiled like Su Mianmian the most! Such a child deserved a lesson!

Hu Xiaohong fiercely pried open the scallop, thinking of interesting ways to torment people, yet the smile on her lips was very sweet.

The audience in the live broadcast room didn’t notice Hu Xiaohong’s intentions; seeing Hu Xiaohong smile so beautifully, they took screenshots and boasted about her online.

[Hu Yingying’s sister is so good-looking, so cute, I really like her.]

[Cutest Kid Vote: Who do you think is the cutest in this seaside variety show?]

The voting presented a high-definition frontal photo of Hu Xiaohong, while the other children’s pictures were screen captures where their expressions weren’t as pleasant. It was remarkable that they could find such pictures frame by frame to score points for Hu Xiaohong.

Mianmian’s fans saw those pictures and were furious, quickly capturing the sweet smile of Mianmian picking up something by the seaside and posting it in the comment section of this poll with the caption: "It’s funny, selecting some bad expression photos for voting, is that really appropriate?"]
