Qi Jiaxu started to set up tents again.
The reason why he said it again was because he had done it randomly before.
It was just that he was standing too far away from Ling Qing just now and didn’t look carefully to see if he could set up a tent or not.
Ling Qing followed his example and stood behind him, instructing him on how to act.
“Can’t you set it up with me?” Qi Jiaxu said dissatisfied, “This is not my own tent.”
Ling Qing pointed to the half of the tent that he had set up, and said calmly, “But my part has already been set up. Ah, and you didn’t help me just now, Xiao Xu. Besides, you don’t know how to do it now. I have to teach you first.”
“Xiao Xu?” Qi Jiaxu was speechless. Why did he become Xiao Xu?
Ling Qing smiled brightly and innocently, “Didn’t you just say that you wouldn’t let me call you brother after I set it up? Instead you will call me brother.”
Qi Jiaxu:…
Qi Jiaxu turned around and continued to set up the tent, not wanting to hear him speak.
Ling Qing stood nearby and watched like an old god, looking completely concerned.
He deliberately slowed down, but unexpectedly, their group was the first to set up.
Couldn’t any other person do it?
Ling Qing received the ingredients and asked curiously whether to choose rise or noodles.
The two of them were the first to go, so they had more room to choose. Qi Jiaxu wanted to get rice, and Ling Qing asked him, “Can you steam rice?”
“Who can’t steam rice? Just put it in the rice cooker.”
“Yes!” Ling Qing nodded, “So did you bring the rice cooker?”
Qi Jiaxu looked at the program team.
The program staff pointed to the steamer and wok on the table and said, “There are only two kinds.”
Qi Jiaxu had to ask Ling Qing, “Can you steam?”
Ling Qing nodded, “But I think noodles are easier to cook.”
Qi Jiaxu had no choice but to follow him and get noodles, eggs, tomatoes, green peppers and meat.
They also received steamers, woks, bowls and chopsticks and other tableware.
He looked at the pot in his hand, then looked around, “There’s no kitchen here, how can we cook?”
Ling Qing glanced at him calmly, feeling that he really didn’t grow a brain as he grew older at all.
He probably came from a relatively good family and had never cooked before, let alone in a mountain like this.
“Can you do it?” Qi Jiaxu asked him.
Ling Qing nodded, “I know a little bit.”
“Then you will be responsible.” Qi Jiaxu promised.
Ling Qing had no objection, “But you have to help me, otherwise, I won’t be able to handle it.”
“Okay.” Qi Jiaxu agreed.
Of course Ling Qing knew how to cook. On the day he came here, he had a misunderstanding about Yu Chen and didn’t like Yu Chen. He also saw the cook looking down on others and mocking him in a weird way, so he said innocently that he couldn’t cook.
Later, there was a new cook at home, and he was busy filming, so he didn’t do much cooking. This was almost the first time he would be cooking since he came here.
He had just eaten a pack of biscuits and was not very hungry, but Qi Jiaxu was already very hungry and urged him, “Let’s start now.”
Before Ling Qing could speak, she heard Chen Hongming calling Qi Jiaxu, “Xiao Xu, come here and help us set up the tent.”
Of course he would not ask Ling Qing for help, so he just looked at Qi Jiaxu with a smile, “Yours is all set up.”
Qi Jiaxu was too embarrassed to refuse him, so he had to endure his hunger, as he walked over and helped Chen Hongming and others set up a tent.
Seeing this, Ling Qing also walked over to the others to have a look.
Qi Tanghua was setting up a tent with Wan Yan. The two girls were slow to do such things, not to mention they didn’t know how to set up one.
After going back and forth, Wan Yan felt a little irritable, but Qi Tanghua was still patiently comforting her.
When Ling Qing passed by, he happened to see that they were on the wrong page again, causing Wan Yan to throw away the equipment in her hand angrily.
“It’s not like this, it has to be like this.”
He picked up the materials on the ground, gave them a demonstration, and then said to Wan Yan, “Come here and help.”
Wan Yan came back to her senses and walked over quickly.
Qi Tanghua also observed his movements carefully.
Ling Qing helped them set up the tent for a while, then Wang Yue came over and asked, “Ling Qing, can you help us as well.”
Ling Qing glanced at their tent that was beginning to take shape, “Isn’t it okay if you guys set it up yourself?”
“That’s not good either.” Wang Yue said, “Besides, you’ve been helping Tangtang and the others for so long, so why don’t you help us?”
Ling Qing was reluctant.
Qi Tanghua and Wan Yan could be said to be the weakest group now, because there were only two of them, and they were girls.
Girls were naturally less powerful than boys, and since there were few of them and they didn’t know how to do it, it was normal for him to help them.
But Wang Yue and the others could obviously do it, and there were three of them, so asking him to help at this time was inevitably a bit opportunistic.
Ling Qing smiled and said, “But there are only two of them. There are three of you. If I go, you will become four, twice as many as the two of them.”
He suggested sincerely, “I think there are quite a lot of people near there, and they are all boys. You should ask him, Qi Jiaxu can also set up tents.”
He said this, so Wang Yue couldn’t insist, instead she just said, “Okay.” And turned and left.
Wan Yan snorted, glanced at Wang Yue disdainfully, then smiled and said to Ling Qing, “Thank you, Ling Qing.”
“You’re welcome.”
After Ling Qing replied, he looked at Wang Yue’s back and saw her asking Chen Hongming after leaving.
Wang Yue did not ask Qi Jiaxu directly but asked Chen Hongming. It was obvious that she had acquiesced that Chen Hongming was the leader of the group.
Chen Hongming found it useful, so he generously lent Qi Jiaxu out with a wave of his hand.
Qi Jiaxu, who was lent out for no apparent reason:…
Qi Jiaxu silently glanced at Chen Hongming, feeling slightly dissatisfied.
Wang Yue hoped that he would help, but it turned out that the person who she asked was not him but Chen Hongming. Chen Hongming wanted to agree to her, and he didn’t ask what he thought about it at all.
Even when thanking people, Wang Yue said it to Chen Hongming, as if it was Chen Hongming who wanted to help her.
Was he a dead man? Didn’t they even need to ask him what he thought?!
Dissatisfied, Qi Jiaxu and Wang Yue walked to their tent and helped her pitch the tent perfunctorily.
Qi Jiaxu left, and Chen Hongming continued to set up tents with Su Shu and Ji Boming.
But after a while, a problem occurred.
“That’s not how it’s done.” Su Shu said.
“That’s it, that’s how it was done just now.” Chen Hongming felt that he was right.
Ji Boming said nothing and pretended that he did not exist.
Su Shu looked at him and affirmed, “It was definitely not like this just now.”
“What was it like?”
“I forgot.” Su Shu said lightly, “But it’s definitely not like this.”
Chen Hongming: …
Chen Hongming thought that he was looking for trouble.
“That’s it.” He said impatiently, “Since you forgot, I remember, just listen to me.”
After hearing this, Su Shu took a step back and sat down, “Then you go with it.”
He was very calm, “Anyway, it will have to be dismantled in a while. I won’t do useless work.”
Chen Hongming: …
Chen Hongming felt that he was just like the rumors, with a perverse personality and difficult to get along with.
Chen Hongming said angrily, “Okay.”
He started to chat with Ji Boming, and Su Shu just looked on, looking careless.
However, within twenty minutes, Chen Hongming realized that he seemed to be really wrong.
At this time, Qi Tanghua and Wan Yan had already set up their tents.
Wang Yue, Ding Lanzhi and Sun Jinghan followed closely behind.
Suddenly, Chen Hongming became the last one.
The scary thing was that he hadn’t even finished it yet.
He quickly shouted, “Xiao Xu, come here.”
Qi Jiaxu who felt that he could finally eat:…
Su Shu looked at the sky speechlessly, feeling that he really made people come and go at the drop of a hat.
Qi Jiaxu had no choice but to walk over and accompany him to set up the tent.
When Su Shu saw him coming, he stood up and started moving his hands again.
When the tent was finally set up and they went to get the ingredients, only the steamed buns were left.
Probably because they had been on the table for a long time, they had become slightly hardened.
Chen Hongming was shocked, “This is what we’re going to eat?”
“You are the last one,” the staff said.
Chen Hongming never expected that he would be reduced to eating steamed buns, and he almost blacked out and shed tears.
Ling Qing smiled, he planned to put the pot closer to Chen Hongming later.
Better to starve him to death.
Qi Jiaxu saw from a distance that he only had steamed buns and was a little happy for no reason. When he was happy, he remembered that he hadn’t eaten yet.
“It’s time for us to cook.” He looked at Ling Qing, “I’m going to starve to death.”
Ling Qing glanced at him and said to him, “That’s okay, but you have to find some rocks first.”
“Stone?”
“How else would the pot sit over the fire?”
Qi Jiaxu felt that this seemed to be the case.
“Then let’s go together.”
“I won’t go with you. I’ll go look for water and see if there is any water source.”
“Didn’t they give us mineral water?” Qi Jiaxu pointed to the bucket next to him.
“It’s just a bucket. Are you still going to use mineral water to wash your face and feet?”
Qi Jiaxu:…
“Go,” Ling Qing sent him, “pick up some branches and come back, pick up more.” He then turned around and walked not far away.
The staff at the office walked over.
Qi Jiaxu had no choice but to find stones and branches by himself.
Ling Qing asked the staff if there was any water source here.
The staff pointed him in a direction, “There is a creek over there.”
Ling Qing took the basin given by the staff and prepared to go to the creek to have a look.
Wan Yan had sharp eyes, said something to Qi Tanghua, and quickly followed with a basin.
“Ling Qing, where are you going?” she asked.
“There seems to be a stream ahead. I’m going to get some water to wash my face.”
Wan Yan felt that he knew a lot and thought to herself that it was good she had followed him, otherwise she and Qi Tonghua would only have one bucket of water, which would not be enough.
“You know quite a lot.”
“I asked the staff.” Ling Qing said.
“I didn’t expect that.” She scratched her head, “There must be too many differences between our season and last season.”
“Last season was a beautiful trip, just having fun, and occasionally doing tasks. This season, it has changed quite a lot, it’s almost like surviving outdoors.”
Ling Qing smiled and thought to herself, this was not survival, surviving to death was another experience.
Wan Yan continued to ask, “By the way, how do you cook? Tangtang said you can dig a hole, put some branches in it to light a fire, and then place the pot on it.”
“Yes,” Ling Qing said, “But I guess I will use the rocks to build it up again.”
“It’s a pity that we can’t share ingredients and we can’t pair up, otherwise we could form a group.”
Ling Qing smiled and said, “It’s okay. If you don’t know anything, you can ask me.”
“I’ll do it first. Thank you.” Wan Yan said happily, “You don’t look very big, just like a student, but you know a lot.”
“It’s okay,” Ling Qing said.
