Chapter 115: Why Did She Bring Hardtack of All Things?
The rest of the luggage space was filled with food and all kinds of snacks. It was really dazzling.
Shuli blinked slowly at the scene, then turned to Zhisheng. “When you were in the car, didn’t you tell her that there was a lot of food in the villa?” he asked in confusion.
“I did!” Zhisheng quickly answered.
“Forget about the snacks. Why did she even bring hardtack of all things?” This was a question that came straight from Shuli’s soul. “We’re not a survival show in the wilderness.”
If it weren’t for the livestream, he would have asked Jiang Xun already.!!
“Give a headset to the guests before the next livestream,” Shuli said. “If there’s a problem, we can contact them directly.”
Zhisheng nodded. “Okay.”
Jiang Xun was a person who had single-handedly gotten the director to change his usual filming methods when the show was just getting underway.

After packing up, the six guests returned to the living room on the first floor.
After introducing each other, they learned that Ren Jiayi was the mastermind behind a particularly popular game. As for the other two male guests, one of them, Feng Yuyan, was the general manager of an advertising company, while the other one, Ji Zheyu, was an architectural designer.
As for the female guests, Song Tianqing was an interior designer while Luo was a dessert maker.
These six guests were all promising young people with good looks, but the three male guests had all set their sights on Jiang Xun, ignoring Tianqing and Kesi.
The two women were visibly unhappy; under normal circumstances, in a dating reality show, everyone would have their own tastes and preferences. Not all the male guests would necessarily like the same person.
However, Jiang Xun’s looks were too outstanding, so much so that she completely eclipsed the both of them.
“What should we do for lunch? Should we cook it together?” Yuyan asked.
It was already past 11 o’clock. If they didn’t start preparing their lunch, they would starve.
“Let me see what’s in the fridge.” Tianqing got up and went to the kitchen. She was about to open the fridge when she noticed a post-it note stuck to the door.
“There’s a post-it note on the fridge door. It says that the production team will provide us with ingredients on the first day, but from tomorrow onwards, we need to go shopping by ourselves,” she said, then put down the note and opened the fridge door. “There are quite a lot of ingredients today, and it seems that there’s also some rice. We can cook it..”
“Kesi, you’re the dessert chef. Why don’t you be the head chef?” Tianqing said when she returned.
Kesi forced a smile. “I’m just learning about desserts. I’m new to cooking.”
“Then what should I do? I don’t know how to cook either.” Tianqing looked at Jiang Xun with a troubled expression.
“I’ve never cooked before.” Jiang Xun shook her head. “There’s a canteen in the university where you can eat. That said, if you want me to cook, you can eat the vegetables and meat after you’ve boiled them in water. There’s no problem.”
The three male guests shook their heads at the same time when they heard this.
“Alright, then I’ll try it.” Kesi stood up reluctantly.
“I can help,” Jiang Xun said.
“We can help too,” everyone echoed.
And so, some were in charge of cutting vegetables, some tasked with cutting the meat, while Jiang Xun was assigned the task of washing the rice.
In the past, during the apocalypse, there were troops who were in charge of providing them meals, so Jiang Xun was not needed. Moreover, most of the food they ate was canned food, which was in short supply. Most of them were made into cans for easy storage and transportation in case they needed to migrate if they lost control of a place.
In modern times, Jiang Xun didn’t even need to cook by herself. In other words, it wouldn’t be a stretch to say that she knew nothing about how to work in a kitchen.
After she washed the rice, she poured it into the rice cooker and turned to Kesi. “Kesi, how much water should I put into the steamed rice?”
She didn’t know if Kesi really didn’t hear her or if she didn’t want to talk to her, but the woman was joking and laughing out loud with Tianqing.
Yuyan then asked Kesi, “Kesi, do you think I can cut it like this?”
Kesi, who was joking with Tianqing, seemed to have suddenly regained her hearing. She immediately stopped chatting with Tianqing and turned to look at the chopping board in front of Yuyan, with a sweet voice, she said, “Oh, yes.”
Jiang Xun took the opportunity to call out, “Kesi.”
But right at this moment, Tianqing had something to ask Kesi, and so Kesi apparently didn’t hear Jiang Xun again as she turned back to Tianqing.
Jiang Xun raised an eyebrow at the blatant display.
[The more I watch, the more irritated I get. Kesi must be ignoring Jiang Xun on purpose.]
[She’s already formed some kind of small alliance with Tianqing. I’m gonna vomit.]
[Tianqing called her, she could hear it, and when the male guests called her, she could hear it too. The only thing she couldn’t hear was Jiang Xun calling her lmao]
[This is a woman’s jealousy! It’s all because the three male guests’ attention was on Jiang Xun right from the start. I just didn’t expect Kesi and Tianqing to be so impatient. They started a small group to exclude Jiang Xun straightaway.]
[That’s enough! Kesi is working hard to cook for everyone. I’m not asking you to be grateful, but please don’t criticize her here, okay?]
[What a joke. Even though she’s working hard to cook, she’s still being despised.]
In the end, Jiang Xun simply went forward and patted Kesi on the shoulder. Unable to ignore her any longer, Kesi turned around and asked in surprise, “Jiang Xun, what are you doing?”
“I was asking you how much water I need to put in the rice.”
“Search for it online. I’m not too sure, either,” Kesi said hurriedly, then continued to chat and laugh with Tianqing and the other three male guests.
The three male guests wanted to talk to Jiang Xun, but every time they made a move, they would be immediately interrupted by Kesi and Tianqing.
Jiang Xun snorted and searched for what to do with her phone, then added water to the rice based on what she found.
[Jiang Xun put in a little too much rice, didn’t she?]
[It’s obvious that they know nothing about Jiang Xun’s appetite.]
Jiang Xun was about to close the lid of the electric rice cooker when Tianqing looked over and exclaimed, “Jiang Xun, why did you put so much rice?”
Kesi also looked over and frowned. “Tianqing and I won’t eat rice, so you only need to make it for four people. But the amount you made is for eight to ten people.”
“It’s already filled with water. We can’t fish the rice out. It’s too wasteful,” Tianqing said.
[When Jiang Xun asked you guys just now, none of you paid attention to her, and now you have the gall to complain?]
[Can we eat JJ’s food?]
“Oh.” Jiang Xun closed the lid of the electric rice cooker lightly. “I can eat all of this.”
Indeed, she would have no problem finishing the whole pot off.
