Wang Fan realized one thing he hadn't expected.
That is, during the New Year period, these people were really idle!
After finishing their New Year's greetings and having lunch, everyone was basically doing nothing.
Some people gathered to play poker, mahjong, or video games, while others liked to roam around outside, commonly known as street loafers.
After Sun Yunpeng's skit was compiled by some well-connected netizens, he became a treasure for this group of idle people.
Anyway, with nothing else to do, let's go see that guy!
Heard that the guy is quite handsome. Even if you don't buy anything to eat, it's still nice to go see him to feast your eyes!
Wang Fan looked at the group of dozens of people in front of him, not knowing what to say.
Second Uncle was holding a small megaphone, repeatedly shouting, "Hey, handsome guys and pretty ladies, we really don't have anything to sell today. Please disperse, please disperse. If you want to eat, come early tomorrow. We'll be open for business as usual."
"Sir, come on, do us a favor. We're already here, you can't just send us away empty-handed, can you? I know marinating stuff is quick. Just have the guy marinate something easy for us."
As soon as Second Uncle finished shouting, someone jumped out to oppose, and his words gained everyone's support.
"Exactly, exactly, just have the handsome guy marinate something simple for us."
A pretty young lady standing around 1.7 meters tall, with fair skin, long legs, and a high nose bridge, sweetly called out.
Next to her, a handsome guy about 1.9 meters tall looked at the young lady in horror, as if he just got to know her that day.
"The... the squeaky voice... Sis's got a squeaky voice..."
The young lady, who was quite close to Wang Fan, came closer with a flowery smile and said, "Handsome guy, how tall are you? I'm seven-eleven and feel like you're much taller. How tall are you?"
"Hiss..."
Wang Fan took a cold breath, wanting to kick her away, as the squeaky voice gave him chills all over.
"Sis... can we talk normally? Your squeak is too harsh..."
Liu Zhaofeng tugged at his sister's clothes and gave Wang Fan an embarrassed smile.
Liu Hehe was furious!
Why is this brother of hers undermining her in front of others?!
She had practiced that squeaky voice for days!
Just as she was about to struggle a bit more, she saw Wang Fan's constipation-like expression.
"You two are so boring! I came from so far away, can't you just arrange some marinated meat for me?"
This time, her voice was much more normal, not as sweet, and carried a rough and hearty tone.
However, Wang Fan found it much more pleasant without feeling all tensed up.
"So sorry, I didn't make much today, and everything was sold out this morning. Even if you wanted to buy now, it's a bit late."
Liu Hehe suggested, "Why not whip up some marinated dishes? It should be pretty quick, right?"
Wang Fan said, "It's quick to make, but the vegetable vendors are all closed today on the first day of the New Year."
This was the truth, with both the vegetable market and supermarkets closed today, and the restaurants using pre-prepared ingredients.
Upon hearing Wang Fan say this, Liu Hehe's eyes lit up: "So does that mean as long as there are ingredients, you can marinate them? What do you need?"
Wang Fan replied, "Potatoes, lotus roots, broccoli, dried tofu sticks, fish tofu, and frozen tofu are all fine. If not, come back tomorrow, there should be places open."
Liu Hehe chuckled, "Isn't it just vegetables? Just wait."
Saying this, she told Liu Zhaofeng: "Hey, go bring our potatoes, lotus roots, and fish tofu."
Liu Zhaofeng nodded and left, and another young guy in his twenties nearby also left without a word: "Save a spot for me, I've got plenty of broccoli and dried tofu sticks at home. I'll be back in a bit."
Their actions set off a chain reaction. The neighbors also began to think about what they had stored at home, finding that there seemed to be quite a bit.
"I got potatoes at my place, I'm going back to get them."
"I have frozen tofu, I'll go get it too."
"I have plenty of lotus roots, I'll go grab some."
Liu Hehe had already taken out her phone, replying under last night's post: "Successfully caught the handsome guy. The location is right opposite Ice and Snow World, at the entrance of the food court. The RV is the place. Yes, he is indeed handsome, but he didn't prepare ingredients today. If any brothers or sisters are planning to come later, remember to bring some vegetables, such as potatoes, lotus roots, broccoli, dried tofu sticks, fish tofu, and frozen tofu."
...
Lying on the bed idly browsing her phone, Jiang Xinyue just happened to see Liu Hehe's message and instantly brightened up.
"Is there something so interesting going on? I must join the fun then."
With swift movements, she put on her clothes and headed straight for the kitchen.
Cleaning out the lotus roots from the fridge, she carried a large bag to her car and set off immediately.
Yin Jiakuo, who had just finished a game and was preparing to stretch his body, also came across the message and immediately felt that going there would be much more fun than lounging at home playing games.
He simply ran to the backyard's icehouse, rummaged around, and fished out frozen tofu, fish tofu, and a large cabbage, then headed out.
As for whether cabbage can be marinated, that wasn't his problem to worry about.
"Jiakuo, why are you carrying cabbage?"
Yin's mom was watching TV in the house and, upon hearing the commotion, came out and saw him, causing her blood pressure to spike directly.
Without turning his head, Yin Jiakuo was about to leave, saying as he walked, "Don't you always tell me to go out more? I'm doing just that. I'll be back later." Then he sprinted off.
This made Yin's mom even more furious, yelling, "You little brat, if you're going, then go, but put some clothes on first! Going out in just shorts, aren't you afraid of freezing to death?"
Huh? Shorts?
At the height of excitement, Yin Jiakuo looked down, clad in a black down jacket on top, and below, a pair of wool pants... Oh, wait, that was his leg hair, no wonder it was so poorly insulated.
Realizing this, he felt his legs getting chilly, and quickly put down the cabbage, rushed back inside, dressed in a flash, took up the cabbage, and was out the door as quick as a wink.
"This rascal!"
Yin's mom chuckled, shaking her head, and resumed watching her beloved TV show, "Love of Parents".
Yin Jiakuo was walking and suddenly felt a bit of regret.
It seemed like he had just set out with his own two legs.
In this freezing weather, with a big chunk of frozen tofu, fish tofu, and a large cabbage in his arms, would walking 6 kilometers kill him?
On the first day of the year, there weren't even taxis around. Should he just go back?
At worst, he'd get scolded a bit by his mom, but at least he wouldn't die on the street.
Just as he was about to turn around, a voice called out to him: "Do I look like a human or a god?"
