âIf you hadnât held me back, this match would have ended, okay.â
Qi Yan casually made a small teacup with a ball of clay. Then she evened out its corners. She could not be bothered to make the bottom of the cup and just brought it up for inspection.
âArenât you being too perfunctory?â Ting Jiuâs jaw almost dropped when he saw her actions.
. â In any case, this competition was about speed, not the degree of similarity and beauty of the final product.
Qi Yan placed the last cup on the table. When the director saw it, he immediately came over to check.
âSure.â The director nodded without changing his expression. âAlthough this teapot isnât that good-looking, itâs at least completed.â
[F*ck!! How can this be? Boohoo, whoâs being held back by who? I wonât say anything.]
[I didnât expect my Little Jiu Jiu to turn the tables.]
[Wouldnât my Sister Meng and Yan Yan have worked for nothing? Their teapots are so beautiful, but they didnât get first place. Thatâs very upsetting.]
[I didnât understand the rules. I thought that whoever made the nicest teapot would definitely win.]
Seeing that Qi Yanâs group was the first to finish the tea set, Liao Jiake felt a little upset.
Qi Yan and Ting Jiu were originally a randomly assembled group. The two of them did not have much tacit understanding, and nobody expected them to be able to rank first in this competition.
Ting Jiu was still in shock and could not react. He said in disbelief, âWe won?â
âWe didnât win.â Qi Yan emphasized to him. âYou and I won.â
Ting Jiu suddenly beamed with joy and said, âIt doesnât matter. In any case, we won. â
When Lu Jinsen, who was next door, heard this conversation, he looked up enviously.
Meng Chuyuan saw that he was distracted and reminded him softly, âBe serious. Are you going to give up after they get first place?â
Sensing that he had slowed down, Meng Chuyuan knew what he was thinking.
They were on par with the Liao sisters.
It was too early to give up now. At the very least, they could still fight for second place.
After being scolded by her, Lu Jinsen lowered his head and continued to make his own cup.
After a long while, Lu Jinsen and the Liao sisters completed their missions one after another.
The director said, âAlright, thatâs all for today. The tea set that everyone made will be given to the villagers in the next episode as a greeting gift. We should be able to see the pottery products we made this afternoon.â
The guests placed all the pottery products they had just made in this shop. Someone would help them with the final firing process and then they would come back in the afternoon to get them.
When Ting Jiu heard that the tea set was going to be given to the villagers in the next episode, he suddenly regretted not making it seriously just now.
âDirector, you should have said so earlier. I would have rather skipped lunch to perfect this teacup.â
The directorâs eyes revealed a sly look as he said with a smile, âThere wouldnât be any surprises if I told you.â
However, compared to Qi Yanâs teapot, the cups he made were still acceptable.
At the thought of this, Ting Jiu didnât feel so bad anymore. He even mocked Qi Yan. âDid you hear that? Itâs going to be a greeting gift for someone. With your teapot looking like that, what can it be used for? I find it ugly even if itâs just going to be used for watering plants.â
Qi Yan:
[Little Jiu, your words are too hurtful.]
[I feel that Miss Qi more or less regrets it.]
[Hearing what the director said, I suddenly donât feel so bad anymore. Itâs worth it even if Yan Yan and Sister Meng didnât win. Hahaha.]
At noon, everyone returned to their residences to prepare dinner.
Ting Jiu, as expected, ran to Meng Chuyuanâs group to freeload a meal. The ingredients he won were all with Qi Yan, but he could not be bothered to ask her how to deal with them.
When he saw her making braised pork last night, she couldnât differentiate between light soy sauce and dark soy sauce. The thought of it made his hair stand on end.
âSister Chuyuan, I want to eat at your place,â Ting Jiu said shamelessly.
Meng Chuyuan glanced over. Before she could respond, Lu Jinsen suddenly interrupted her. âCan you be more shameless?â
He had come to their group to freeload a few times. Lu Jinsen had tolerated it before, but he did not expect Ting Jiu to still have such thoughts even though it was already the start of a new episode.
Ting Jiu asked in confusion, âHow am I shameless?â
If there was food to freeload, it would be a waste not to eat it.
Ting Jiu said indignantly, âYou should be the one whoâs more shameless, right? Relying on the fact that youâre in the same group as Sister Chuyuan, youâre eating and drinking for free.â
ââ¦â Lu Jinsen was so angry that he gritted his teeth and clenched his fists..
