The Strong Female Lead Versus The Most Miserable Male Lead

“Chestnut-stewed chicken?”

Since Nian Shutong had mentioned it, it naturally had to be made.

“I’ll go catch a couple of chickens; you get some chestnuts ready to be shelled. Don’t get the cooked ones; we need raw chestnuts.”

After saying this, Nian Shutong was about to leave but Fu Yunhe called out to her.

“Hold on, I don’t know how.”

With those words, “I don’t know how,” Fu Yunhe spoke with a mix of assertiveness and a slight sense of grievance.

He had no desire to repeat the last “feather-plucking” debacle.

That chestnut, he really had tried to handle it; raw ones were not easy to peel at all.

“That’s fair; then I’ll teach you.” Nian Shutong turned back on her heel and gave Fu Yunhe’s arm a tug.

“Let’s go!”

Fu Yunhe glanced at his own arm and didn’t dare to say a word. He followed Nian Shutong to the kitchen and watched her fetch the chestnuts.

“Take a knife and make a slice on the bottom of the chestnuts. Once you’ve sliced them all, quickly put them in boiling water, but don’t turn on the heat, and cover them for three minutes.”

“After three minutes, quickly run them under cold water, but don’t soak them for long.”

After a series of actions, Nian Shutong picked up a chestnut and said with uncertainty, “Like this, you just peel it off lightly….”

Nian Shutong’s hands continued the motions, and it opened. With growing confidence emanating from her eyes, she said, “See! It opened!”

She assertively grabbed Fu Yunhe’s hand and slapped the peeled chestnut into his palm, saying, “Peel about a hundred or so; that should be enough.”

“I’m off to go kill the chickens.”

Fu Yunhe stood in place, looking at the chestnut in his hand. She just pulled his hand?

Her hand, why didn’t it feel rough at all?

That was Fu Yunhe’s thought, without a hint of sentimentality, just curiosity about Nian Shutong’s skin texture.

Logically, the best state of skin after radiation exposure would still be rough, even pitted and uneven.

Although Nian Shutong didn’t seem to have these issues, her skin quality might be too good! It seemed even better than his own.

Ah, a woman full of secrets.

Clenching the chestnut in his palm, Fu Yunhe saw that Zhang Hui and her daughter had already started peeling, so he went over to give it a try so as not to be unfamiliar with the process later that evening.

When Nian Shutong returned, she tossed six chickens to Fu Yunhe.

Four for them to eat, and the other two for the live stream that night.

Everything in the kitchen was managed by Fu Yunhe. Meanwhile, Nian Shutong went to the vegetable patch by the small wooden house, squatted down, and dug three pits.

One pit for ginger pieces, one for scattering green onion seeds, and one for garlic cloves.

After filling the three pits with soil again, Nian Shutong patted her hands satisfactorily and began to communicate with System Xiao Ba.

“Xiao Ba, does this count as planting green onions, ginger, and garlic? Can I purchase some from you now?”

This loophole occurred to Nian Shutong as she went to kill the chickens.

She didn’t have to wait until the whole field was cleared before buying things. Green onions, ginger, and garlic were so important for cooking; of course, the sooner she had them, the better.

“Beep! The host is really smart! You can make a purchase now!”

Nian Shutong chuckled, System Xiao Ba was truly great, not rigid at all, and pleasant to talk to.

She bought some green onions, ginger, and garlic from the system and would hand them over to Xiao He later, to let him use some for the night’s cooking.

Just as she was about to stand up, she remembered the poetry contest mentioned by Daodao and checked her emails.

The email notified her of advancement and that the voting was taking place on an interstellar website.

Nian Shutong clicked on the link and voted for herself. As for telling others, she decided not to for the time being.

Better not to tarnish her grand image in case she didn’t win.

After finishing up, as Nian Shutong was about to stand, she heard Daodao’s crying and calling out.

“Master! Master! Daodao was scolded!”

“They are threatening Daodao to change the content, but Daodao didn’t write the book and can’t make changes!”

“Daodao is a principled carrier.”
