Chapter 12

Today, the production team assigned the guests a new task: to make a specialty dish called corn cakes and then sell them at a nearby market. The money earned would be used as funds for their activities over the next few days.

Corn cakes?

The guests were all a bit puzzled. They had grown up in the city and had eaten corn before, but they had never tasted corn cakes, let alone made them.

But since it was a task, they had to complete it.

Zhao Jin suggested first, "Let's look up how to make these corn cakes online and then divide the tasks."

Everyone agreed.

After searching online, they found that corn cakes were made by grinding corn into a fine paste, adding baking soda, milk powder, eggs, and mixing everything evenly. Then, the mixture was shaped into small pieces and steamed.

The online instructions also included pictures of the corn cakes, making everyone's mouths water as if they could smell the sweet aroma through the images.

With a clear goal in mind, everyone began dividing the tasks.

Lin Yi, Shen Feng, and He Nian were responsible for grinding the corn kernels into a paste.

Zhao Jin and Zhou Ke went to the nearby woods to collect firewood for fuel to steam the corn cakes later.

As for the children, they were naturally left to play.

Soon, everyone got to work on their respective tasks.

There was a stone mill in the courtyard of the agritainment place, perfect for grinding the corn kernels.

Lin Yi carried a large bag of corn kernels to the stone mill, washed it clean, and placed a basin underneath to catch the paste.

Honestly, he had never used a stone mill before and found it quite novel.

He poured some corn kernels into the hole of the stone mill and held the handle, turning it half a circle. Some of the kernels were crushed, releasing a white paste.

Lin Yi found this process interesting and turned the mill a few more times. More kernels were crushed, and the paste flowed into the basin.

Huo Mianmian had never seen such a scene before.

He stood by the stone mill, tiptoeing to watch intently, his dark eyes filled with amazement.

Lin Yi added more corn kernels and continued turning the mill.

However, the stone mill was quite old, so he didn't dare to turn it too hard, fearing it might break.

He Nian watched Lin Yi from a distance.

To him, Lin Yi's movements were light and slow, as if he didn't want to do the task at all.

He Nian saw this as an opportunity to show off.

He walked over to Lin Yi and said with a somewhat helpless tone, "Cousin, let's not play around. This is our task, and we should try to finish it as soon as possible."

He Nian had many fans, and when he spoke, the comments section immediately responded.

"NieNie is right; this is a task given by the production team. We should finish it quickly."

"Lin Yi's sense of responsibility doesn't even come close to NieNie's."

"Lin Yi's slow movements are clearly slacking off."

"I've heard Lin Yi has a bad character, and today I see it's true!"

The filming had been going on for some time, and Lin Yi had also accumulated some fans. Seeing He Nian's fans twisting the facts, they immediately countered.
