Chapter 43: How did you do it so fast

Chapter 43

"Huh? Where's Shen Tang?"

"She should be at the front..."

A few guests looked towards the front where some rustling sounds were coming from, all somewhat shocked.

"Shen Tang?"

"Yo!" A voice answered from far away.

"How did you finish so quickly!"

"Speedy girl!"

Shen Tang's hands kept moving. She had a lot of experience in her previous life. Shucking corn and sprinkling water was nothing to her.

Before long, the corn that was owed from breakfast was all shucked, and it could be said that the vast majority was done by Shen Tang.

The few guests were so shocked their jaws nearly dropped.

"Are you even human?"

"Of course I am. I just have some experience. Practice makes perfect. Let's go plant the fields!"

Ao Ziping swallowed his spit. "Sister Tang Tang, aren't you tired?"

"How could I be? Anyway, the sooner we finish, the sooner we can end."

"I guess..."

After being praised by Granny, the few set off with armfuls of stuff Granny gave them and changed direction to go plant the fields.

The fields were currently at the seedling transplantation stage.

Because of the uneven terrain of staggered paddies in odd shapes, large transplantation machines could not be used. They could only transplant by hand, and progress was very slow and tiring.

But although the guests were tired, they never complained or slacked off. Despite the slow speed, they kept seriously working.

This was also one of the reasons the show was so popular.

With Shen Tang added, many anti-fans flocked to the livestream, not optimistic at all.

[I bet this wannabe can keep up her act for how long]

[Why do I see Shen Tang wherever I go, so annoying]

[My family is rural, let me say this. Shen Tang's corn shucking actions were pretty standard]

[How much do you water army get paid per post? Make some money and bring your sisters in]

Shen Tang didn't know about the barrage of attacks on the screen.

If she knew, she'd probably applaud and cheer, since the more people scolded her, the more people were watching, the hotter the show, and the more money she earned.

After all, getting scolded doesn't make you lose any meat.

Shen Tang looked at the ground and heaved a long sigh. Having great strength didn't mean she couldn't get tired. Updated chapters at novelhall.com

In her past life, she had transplanted rice too, but only during her school breaks when she did part-time work. She could earn a good 200 yuan a day. Working a few days a month was enough for her monthly living expenses.

Now looking at the rice seedlings, she strangely felt a sense of intimacy.

It was a busy farming season, and there were still quite a few families that needed help. Moreover, they only wanted ingredients instead of money, which was advantageous for both sides.

After a simple lunch, the few found a family that needed help. They agreed that after finishing work, they would get a big goose.

Big geese were precious goods. Braised goose especially was superb.

The guests hadn't enjoyed a good meal for a long time, just thinking about it made their mouths water.

"Work work work!"

"Sister Tang Tang, you're good at cooking, you make dinner tonight?"

"Sure!"

Shen Tang didn't mind cooking. Her junior was quite lazy usually, but could buckle down when needed.

Moreover, these others weren't very good at cooking either.

She had speed-watched the livestream replay overnight. She could only say it was pretty impressive they hadn't poisoned themselves with their cooking yet.

Flavor was not even a priority anymore. As long as the food was cooked it was good enough.

That afternoon, everyone worked hard, with no intention of cutting corners whatsoever.

By night when they finished, not only did the other family give them a big goose, but also a lot of side dishes.

It was just that the goose was alive, and Shen Tang didn't dare kill it.

She held the knife to the goose's neck, aiming here and there, but ultimately didn't dare put it down.

"I don't think I can do it. Anyone else want to try?"

The few guests all shook their heads and backed away.

"I don't dare either..."

"I've never killed anything before..."

In the end they all stared blankly at each other.

Ao Ziping scratched his head, "So what now?"

He was really hungry, and also craving meat.

Alright, not craving, extremely craving.

Shen Tang tentatively asked, "Why don't we...not eat it?"

She really couldn't do it. You have to know, when she cooked in the past, she used pre-slaughtered meat bought at the market.

If she had known earlier, she would've asked the owner to kill and clean the goose first before taking it back.

But she also felt a little bad about asking that. Slaughtering geese was probably troublesome too, and the busy villagers should properly rest at home after work, without extra tasks.

Ao Ziping painfully swallowed his saliva. "Okay, then what about the goose?"

"Let's keep it..."

And so, the first small animal joined their small courtyard——the big white goose.

If you ignored its constant honking while craning its neck, it was still pretty cute.

At least it wasn't casually biting people like in online jokes.
