The Tang Family’s Seven Os Chapter 64 - TTFSO Chapter 64

Chapter 64 - TTFSO Chapter 64

After dinner, the director’s team sent over the tasks for the day: sell lotus roots, compete in groups according to room, sell the lotus roots plucked yesterday till eleven o’clock before noon, each according to his or her ability. The results will be ranked according to the amount of money earned, the first one who earns the most money gets to go to the amusement park in the afternoon, the second one gets to stay in the villa and rest, and the last one has to prepare dinner for everyone and serve them during the meal.
Cai Ke Ke was reluctant to hear this, “Why are they grouped by room? Shouldn’t we draw lots to decide?”
The assistant director rubbed his nose embarrassedly, he couldn’t say that it was originally to be decided by drawing lots, but after yesterday, the director felt that Tang San Yuan and Gu An were now the talk of the town, so they couldn’t waste the heat and had to be given more opportunities to be together and let them spark more, that’s why they were grouped in this way.
When Cai Ke Ke did not get an answer, he frowned in frustration and secretly made up his mind that no matter what, he would never let Tang San Yuan and Gu An get first place!
If Gu An and Tang San Yuan were to go to the amusement park together, wouldn’t the popularity of the ‘San Gu’ CP be even higher? That’s the amusement park, it is the holy land of how many couples for dating, who knows what Gu An and Tang San Yuan will do there. If this continues, the ‘Ke Yuan’ CP, which he has worked so hard to manage for a long time, will be forced down, so he must win first place!
The others have also wanted Tang San Yuan and Gu An to be last, after all, only if Gu An is last will they be able to have a meal! The food that the others cooked…… was just unimaginable.
Tang San Yuan: “……” director did you really not mean to let the last place cook?
The other two groups were all energetic and immediately couldn’t wait to carry the lotus roots on their backs, asking the director’s team to send a car to take them to the nearby town, all wanting to snatch the market as quickly as possible, fighting to sell as many as possible!
Tang San Yuan also wanted to act quickly but Gu An pulled him back and shook his head gently, “There’s no hurry.”
Although Tang San Yuan was a bit puzzled, he obediently stopped in his tracks, thinking that Gu An might already have a solution.
Gu An smiled faintly and took the lotus roots that needed to be sold to the kitchen and Tang San Yuan followed.
Gu An put the lotus roots down and turned to see Tang San Yuan, who was also following him, and couldn’t help but smile and ask, “Will you be allergic if you touch the lotus roots?”
Tang San Yuan shook his head, “No, I’ll only be allergic if I eat it.”
Gu An gave him the lotus roots and said softly: “Then help me wash these lotus roots.”
Tang San Yuan immediately nodded, took the lotus roots, put them under the tap, washed the mud off the outer skin of the lotus roots, revealing the clean flesh of the roots, then under Gu An’s direction, took a basin and filled it with water, put some cooking salt and white vinegar in the water, soaked the lotus roots in it, and only after a while, took the lotus roots out and rinsed them under the tap.
Not sure what Gu An is preparing, he rummaged around in the fridge for a while and took out some ingredients, then he kept busy, and Tang San Yuan guessed that he might want to make the lotus roots into a dish to sell.
Tang San Yuan washed the lotus root and passed it to Gu An, who took it and smiled, “It’s washed really clean.”
When he received the compliment, Tang San Yuan smiled with a mouthful of white teeth.
Gu An put the lotus roots on the chopping board and cut them up with his knife, saying to Tang San Yuan as he cut them up, “Go and rest for a while, I’ll call you when I’ve finished.”
“I’ll stay and help you ba.” Tang San Yuan did not want to be lazy and wiped his hands.
Gu An kept his hands moving and looked up at Tang San Yuan, his eyes smiling as he said in a deep voice, “Be good and listen.”
“……Ok then.” Tang San Yuan inexplicably blushed and hurriedly left the kitchen as if fleeing.
He couldn’t help but feel a little chagrined, it was obvious that he was older than Gu An, how come it seemed like Gu An was always taking care of him.
In the live broadcast room, everyone was watching with great interest, their fingers typing rapidly.
[Other people’s love, sour sour.]
[Gu An is not only handsome, rich and wealthy, but he can also cook! What kind of divine idol is this?]
[Gu An is fighting hard in order to go to the amusement park with Tang San Yuan, I’ve never seen been this serious about competition when participating in a variety show.
[Not listening not listening, I only know that An An cooking is really good looking, every movement is so handsome, he walked out of a manga ba, ripping man1撕漫男 (Sī màn nán): internet slang, describes a man who is as good looking as a manga protagonist and they came out from the manga by ripping/tearing it open. I love you!!!]
[I used to feel a sense of distance from Gu An, but after watching this show, I feel like he’s a human being just like us, it feels like the distance is being pulled close, I want to fan him!]
……
The pop-ups kept discussing nonstop and Tang San Yuan ran to feed Xiao Ben.
Xiao Ben was eating with his head down and his tail wagging happily, and Tang San Yuan was crouching on the side watching with interest. After an unknown amount of time, he heard Gu An calling him and he hurriedly ran back.
Gu An had already made those lotus roots into spicy lotus roots and glutinous rice lotus roots and packed them in one small bag after another.
“We’ll sell them for ten yuan a bag later, it’s easy and convenient this way, no need to weigh them.”
Tang San Yuan nodded obediently, those lotus roots were made by Gu An to look nice and exquisite, it was delicious at first glance, if Tang San Yuan wasn’t unable to eat lotus roots, he would have wanted to try them too, and these lotus roots were available in both sweet and spicy flavours, the buyer could have whichever flavour they wanted. It was indeed much more convenient to sell them this way, and they could be sold at a higher price than the unprocessed lotus roots.
“Shall we set off now?” Tang San Yuan was already somewhat looking forward to selling these lotus roots.
“Wait a while……” Gu An took out a straw hat from somewhere and put it on Tang San Yuan’s head, reached out and tied the two sides of the rope around Tang San Yuan’s pointed chin and tied it in a bow, then smiled, “Alright, let’s go.”
Tang San Yuan reached out and touched the straw hat on his head and nodded.
The director’s team drove them to a nearby town, leaving only the cameraman behind and they had to rely on themselves to do the rest.
Gu An and Tang San Yuan took a few steps around the market and met Cai Ke Ke and Yue Le Feng, who were standing left and right, placing lotus roots in the bamboo baskets in front of them and raised their voices from time to time.
Cai Ke Ke clutched a pile of money in his hand, some fifty, some ten……added together, it looked like it should be almost a hundred yuan. When he saw Gu An and Tang San Yuan, he immediately gave a soft hmph, exaggeratedly patted the money in his hand, a face of bragging.
“……” If it wasn’t for fear that Cai Ke Ke would take the opportunity to speculate on CP, Tang San Yuan really wanted to cooperate and give him a round of applause.
Yue Le Feng, on the other hand, happily ran up to them with an excited look on his face, “An Ge, San Yuan Ge, I want to eat minced garlic prawn, sweet and sour pork ribs, braised pig trotters, and tomato and prawn soup tonight……”
Gu An interrupted him with a raised eyebrow, “Are you that confident that we’ll be last?”
Yue Le Feng scratched his head with some embarrassment, “We just met a big customer and sold a whole fifty yuan of lotus roots, Mei Mei Jie and Ji Li also sold well, you guys came so late, you definitely can’t catch up with us.”
“That’s not necessarily true.” Tang San Yuan slightly raised his chin, being stirred up a little by the desire to win, he felt that with Gu An’s cooking skills, they definitely wouldn’t be last place.
Cai Ke Ke didn’t say anything, but clapped the money in his hand even louder.
Gu An deliberately glanced at the money in his hand and said in an exaggerated manner, “Xiao San Ge, look, he’s showing off, we must earn more than him later.”
Cai Ke Ke couldn’t help but snort, “Don’t talk too much, you really don’t know the hardships of the world, money is not that easy to earn, not everyone is as business-minded as I am.”
Tang San Yuan’s heart moved, suddenly following Gu An’s example, white lotus possessing his body: “It doesn’t matter, with An An’s presence, I’m happy with the amount of money I earn.”
He said and threw a wink at Gu An.
Cai Ke Ke’s looked like his three views had exploded, the corners of his mouth twitched, he threw the money in his hand into Yue Le Feng’s arms and turned away without hesitation, out of sight, out of mind.
This pair of male dogs who kept showing off their love!
Tang San Yuan suddenly experienced the pleasure of being a white lotus and couldn’t help but smile and say to Gu An, “An An, let’s go earn some money.”
Gu An hooked his lips and touched the corners of Tang San Yuan’s eyes, “Ok ah, Xiao San Ge.”
Cai Ke Ke was so angry and didn’t turn around as Tang San Yuan and Gu An walked forward happily together.
Not far ahead, the sisters Ji Mei and Ji Li were also peddling, they seemed to have come up with a marketing strategy. On the wooden board next to them, it was written that those who bought more than twenty yuan could have a photo taken with them, and for those who bought more than fifty yuan, they provided beauty care recipes, but the cosmetics used in their recipes were too expensive and they were all very hard to buy, so this marketing strategy did not seem to be popular.
It was a hot day, the sun was shining hot and Ji Mei and Ji Li’s cheeks were red from the sun but they were full of energy.
“Where are we going to sell?” Tang San Yuan asked as he withdrew his eyes, the lively locations around here had all been seized by the two groups and they had to go elsewhere.
Gu An looked around and pointed to the lake not far away and said, “Go there, there is shade and the wind is cooler.”
Tang San Yuan looked around and saw that it was indeed shady and cool, but it was not as lively as this side, only a group of leisurely masters and mothers were playing Erhu and dancing in the square. He nodded and walked over with Gu An.
When Ji Li saw them go to the shade, her eyes were full of envy and she couldn’t help but say to Ji Mei, “Jie Jie, it looks so breezy there at their side ah.”
Ji Mei wiped the sweat from her forehead and glanced in their direction, “What’s the use of just being cool, being able to earn money the real talent, hurry up and get on with the sale, do you want to cook tonight?”
Ji Li thought of her own and her sister’s dark cooking, she shook her head in a hurry and increased her peddling voice.
Gu An and Tang San Yuan went to the shade of the tree and laid out the bags of lotus roots on the wooden case provided by the programme team.
Tang San Yuan was about to try to sell it when Gu An took advantage of the photographer adjusting the equipment, took out a candy from his pocket and threw it into his hand.
When he saw the rabbit on the wrapper, his eyes lit up, but when he saw the milk candy, his cheeks could not help but blush.
Gu An suddenly lowered his body and stared at Tang San Yuan’s slightly red cheeks, his voice low as he laughed, “It seems I was right last night, your pheromones really do smell like milk candy?”
Tang San Yuan blushed red and could not speak, his palms clutching the milk candy tightly, his heart burning and his cheeks heating up.
Gu An peeled off the sugar paper of the milk candy and put the milk candy’s into his mouth, looking at him as he curled his lips, “So sweet.”1撕漫男 (Sī màn nán): internet slang, describes a man who is as good looking as a manga protagonist and they came out from the manga by ripping/tearing it open.
