Chapter 129 - Grasshoppers and Alcohol, the Perfect Combination
Chapter 129: Grasshoppers and Alcohol, the Perfect Combination
Jun Shiyan replied in a low voice, “Okay.”
The young lady was squatting in front of him. She was small and adorable while she was eating from a bowl. She enjoyed the food very much.
It was only when the bowl was almost empty that she licked her lips reluctantly and looked up at him with a smile. “I’ll be leaving then.”
Just as she got up—
“Hold on.” Jun Shiyan took her hand and wiped it clean with a wet tissue.
The young lady’s hand was fair and slender, and so were her beautiful, milky-white fingers. She held a grasshopper between her middle finger and thumb, her two fingers dabbed with oil.
The young lady puffed her cheeks as she looked at him obediently. She did not retract her hand as she muttered softly, “There’s no need to wipe it. We still have to work. It’s not like I will not be washing my hands when I get back.”
Jun Shiyan watched as the young lady walked to the door before turning back to look at him. In the end, she turned around again and disappeared. His stomach felt a little uncomfortable, so he used his fingers to press on it and puked.
“Master!” An Yan ran over in fright. “Hold on, I’ll go get the medicine.”
When Ling Sheng returned, Ji Fanchen and Shi Lingyu had just gotten home.
The smell of cow dung on Ji Fanchen wafted into her nose.
Ling Sheng walked two meters away from him and covered her nose, using her whole body to express her disdain. “Go wash up and change!”
“Is it that bad?” Ji Fanchen subconsciously took a sniff. Was it that bad? Why could he not smell it?
Besides her, no one else had such a big reaction!
The members of the production team lowered their heads and held back their laughter. They wanted to cover their noses, but they felt that it was not polite. They had to force themselves to give him face!
“Look, they’re all holding back. They’re too embarrassed to talk to you. I’m the only honest person around.” After Ling Sheng said that, she shot the production crew a disdainful look.
“But how am I supposed to shower?” Ji Fanchen was in a tough spot. He thought for a while before pointing at the corner opposite him. “Why don’t I pull a curtain over there? You guys can shower later.”
Their place was a slum. Besides sleeping and eating, there was nothing else they wanted to do there. They even needed to run 200 meters to get to the public washroom.
“Showering like that is pointless.” Ling Sheng thought seriously for a while. “I’ll be frying the grasshoppers soon. Take a bowl and find a bathroom to wash yourself properly.”
Opposite them was a luxurious house. The washroom and bathroom were well-equipped.
Ji Fanchen frowned and sniffed himself again. There seemed to be a faint smell. He had been sniffing the whole afternoon, but he could not smell it.
Mo Ning went to the opposite side to take a look. Then, she looked at Ling Sheng and said, “We are done discussing. Give us two plates of fried grasshoppers for 10 pounds of flour.”
Ling Sheng said, “100 pounds.”
Mo Ning said, “20 pounds.”
Ling Sheng replied, “1,000 pounds.”
Mo Ning’s face flushed with anger. “Scram!”
“Why are you angry? We can discuss this. Let’s talk this out. We’re all civilized people. We want 30 pounds. No negotiating. Otherwise, we’ll finish the grasshoppers ourselves!” Ling Sheng smiled as she talked.
Mo Ning was angered by her bargain. In a huff, she said, “30 pounds then. We want three plates!”
“Just two plates. Do you want them or not?” After Ling Sheng said that, she turned around and left, her mouth full of energy. “Grasshoppers and alcohol, the perfect combination.”
At night, regardless of whether she was working or not, Mo Ning had to have a few sips of wine to satisfy her hunger. Upon thinking of drinking and eating grasshoppers, she gritted her teeth. “Two plates will do!”
