Chapter 42 Overseas Study Tour
After Lin Biao ate the last piece of tofu, Lin Tiantian stared at Lin Biao in silence.
Yufei could sense her low spirits, then she flashed a sweet smile, indicating that the activity would continue.
Looking at that sweet smile, knowing her as Yufei did, Lin Biao was doomed when he got home.
"Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda," Yufei thought, noticing that everyone except Lin Biao and Lin Tiantian was staring longingly at the bowl of Zu'an tofu.
It's her birthday today, so let's grant these people's wishes! Yufei got up and, after asking her five friends to wait a moment, went to the kitchen.
When she came out of the kitchen, ten pairs of eyes were all fixed on Yufei… the bowl in her hand.
Lin Tiantian forgot about being angry and stared longingly at Yufei, perfectly embodying the qualities of a true foodie.
"Brother Lin Biao, because you ate too much from the last plate, you can only eat two pieces of this plate of rice at most."
Yufei considered that Lin Biao had eaten most of the previous dish, and that children easily underestimate their appetite when faced with delicious food, so she made arrangements to prevent him from getting indigestion.
Upon hearing this arrangement, Lin Biao was thunderstruck, and dejectedly picked up two pieces of tofu.
If he had a tail and ears, Yufei felt that his ears and tail would droop down.
After he finished eating, he looked at Yufei with those puppy-dog-like, longing eyes.
Yufei was so embarrassed that she felt bad eating it and explained to Lin Biao why he only got two pieces of tofu.
The puppy's previously dull eyes lit up, telling Yufei that he could do it, that he always had a big appetite, and that he could eat more.
Then he looked at Yufei pitifully, hoping she would let him continue to take advantage of Zu'an.
Yufei shook her head firmly. She still felt that if Lin Biao ate any more, he would get indigestion. If he wanted to eat more, she could make it for them later.
Lin Biao, having been rejected by Yufei once again, was completely drained of his energy.
Unlike Lin Biao, Lin Tiantian was beaming with joy.
With each bite, she would cast a defiant glance at her brother, and then suddenly said to Yufei, "Yufei, from now on you'll be my friend for life!"
After their meal, they all went home to find their mothers.
After cleaning up the mess left by their meal, Yufei took out a bowl of Zu'an tofu, which she had carefully cooked, from her spatial storage, waiting for her parents.
The day after Yufei's birthday, after Yufei arrived at the classroom, Zhao Jing ran over to her and said that yesterday, after Lin Tiantian and Lin Biao went home...
Lin Biao got a good beating from his parents. The reason? Need I say more?
Today, when Lin Biao came to school with them, he complained that if he had known there was still a bowl of tofu left, he wouldn't have fought with his sister for it!
"You wouldn't believe how pitiful Lin Biao looked when he talked about it; it almost made Lin Tiantian and me laugh to death," Zhao Jing said, then seemed to recall Lin Biao's expression and burst into laughter.
When Yufei heard Zhao Jing's words, she recalled Lin Biao's aggrieved expression yesterday when he didn't get tofu, and couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips into a smile.
Yufei felt that Lin Biao's beating was also related to the fact that her cooking was too delicious, so she decided to treat them to another meal.
It's also a good opportunity to practice my skills. Aunt Xia once said that cooking requires both talent and diligent practice.
She clearly has no shortage of talent, so she still needs a lot of experimental practice.
There are exactly 5 lab mice, might as well use them, hehehehehe.
Yufei smiled slyly, and the other five members of her group of six felt a chill run down their spines.
For the next few days, they spent their days attending school.
We went to Yufei's house for dinner tonight. These past few days, besides Zu'an tofu, Yufei has also learned to cook chopped chili fish head and Dong'an chicken from Xia Chan. They've been eating so much every day that they come home with full bellies.
"Honey! I feel like those two siblings have been acting a bit strange lately."
Lin Tiantian's mother looked at the two siblings, who were grinning foolishly and eating very little, and felt a little worried.
Lin Tiantian's father had already finished eating and was looking at the newspaper when he heard his wife's words and gave her a questioning look.
He asked, "Oh?"
Lin Tiantian's mother leaned closer to Lin Tiantian's father's ear and said...
“These two siblings have been grinning like idiots all the time these past few days, and they’re eating very little. If it were just Lin Biao acting like this, I’d start to wonder if he has a girl he likes, but Tian Tian is acting like this too…” Lin Tian Tian’s mother looked at Tian Tian in surprise and continued, “She can’t be that precocious, can she? She’s only 4 years old!”
"What did you say?" Lin Tiantian's father rolled up the newspaper and gently tapped Lin Tiantian's mother on the head, stopping her increasingly rambling thoughts.
"You're overthinking it~ They've probably made a lot of good friends at school and are having a great time. You, I don't know why your little head always comes up with so many strange and wonderful ideas."
"I've noticed they've been acting strangely lately, it's hard not to overthink it," Lin Tiantian's mother said to her husband, somewhat embarrassed.
"I've noticed you've been preoccupied lately, honey," Lin Tiantian's mother said, observing her usually cheerful husband's furrowed brow these past few days, as if he were facing some difficult problem.
"It's nothing," Lin Tiantian's father said, rubbing his furrowed brow.
"A foreign business delegation will be coming to our town in a few days. The government is taking this very seriously, and we've been incredibly busy. We're just a bit exhausted."
"I'll boil some water for you, so you can soak your feet and relax."
Lin Tiantian's father nodded after hearing his wife's words, agreeing that it was a good idea. He was determined to improve the town's sanitation and transportation to create a good impression on the foreign visitors. Everyone in the town was incredibly busy.
At the end of April, a major event occurred in Longyuan Town, which was even being hotly discussed by students at the school.
It turned out that a group of foreigners had come to their impoverished town of Longyuan.
In this town where there wasn't a single foreigner, the arrival of such a large group of foreigners was absolutely explosive news for them.
Yufei knew the specifics; she knew why these people had come here.
Her parents and Yufei also took the May Day holiday in advance and returned to Hongxing Village. These people came specifically for them.
Of course, the government arranged interpreters and escorts for them, telling them not to panic.
Treat it as a business trade cooperation, and since these are all big bosses, don't be stingy with the prices they offer.
Yufei felt relieved after hearing what the government representative said. Actually, she was quite worried that their crops were so outstanding that they might attract foreign attention.
Hearing the official say this, Yufei knew that the official must have made arrangements for this.
Yufei looked at some people in the crowd with a different aura and felt inexplicably at ease. She trusted the officials.
Yufei's family, representing the Great Xia Dynasty, engaged in three days and two nights of negotiations with the group of foreigners.
最终以每个商业代表团每年5000万鹰元，雨菲一家每年向他们提供10吨白玉萝卜、10吨黄金玉米和1吨西瓜，共签订了10个国外代表团的合同
A $5 million contract was a considerable amount of foreign exchange for Great Xia at the time. More importantly, through this deal, they persuaded several trade groups, led by the United States, to loosen their grip on certain matters, making it much easier for Great Xia to export its goods.
After signing the contract, the foreign business delegation set off for Yandu, planning to stay overnight before returning to their home countries.
At the same time, the promised deposit was transferred to Junlin Company's account.
