Chapter 80: A Difficult Breakfast [Second Update, Seeking Recommendations!]

At this moment, Daesung, still wearing the face mask from last night, burst out, startling Liu Zaishi, who then covered his face and rushed back into the room.

The members gradually came out of the house. Liu Zaishi, seeing Hyeri come out, teased her, "Oh~!! Who is this?"

Looking at the members with either swollen faces or messy hair, Liu Zaishi burst into laughter.

"Please name five types of mushrooms within five seconds." Liu Zaishi repeated the question.

This time, Daesung answered, "Shiitake, enoki, reishi, matsutake, and poisonous mushrooms."

"Ding~! Poisonous mushrooms cannot be used, and how can poisonous mushrooms be a specialty of a village with good air?"

Daesung, feeling ashamed, covered his face and hid behind the others.

Next, it was Hyeri's turn. As soon as she sat down in front of Liu Zaishi, he asked, "Who are you?"

Hyeri first smiled awkwardly, then asked angrily, "Why do you snore?"

"Who?"

"It's you!"

"There are six people over there, how do you know it's me?" The siblings started bickering early in the morning.

"The sound came from above."

"What? Maybe it was an echo."

Hyeri didn't continue arguing and directly answered, "Enoki, shiitake..."

"Hey, you need to hold this to answer." Liu Zaishi pointed to the spoon on the low table in front of him.

Picking up the spoon, Hyeri quickly said, "Enoki, shiitake, reishi, age spots, sanghuang mushrooms."

"Age spots?"

"Ha ha ha..." Everyone present burst into laughter.

Yejin sat down.

"Please hold the spoon."

As soon as Yejin picked up the spoon, Liu Zaishi started counting.

Yejin tapped the table with the spoon, "I haven't started yet, you should wait for me to say, then start counting."

"You start as soon as you pick up the spoon."

Yejin put down the spoon and started over, "Enoki, matsutake, reishi, sanghuang mushrooms, wood ear."

"Wood ear mushrooms? What are wood ear mushrooms?" The pronunciation of wood ear in Korean is similar to "mosquito."

"Wood ear."

"Are there wood ear mushrooms? I've never heard of them, do they exist?"

"We have them when we eat Chinese food..."

"Mosquitoes?"

"Wood ear, oh~! You're really ignorant, aren't you? This is the first time you've heard of them?" Yejin thought Liu Zaishi was deliberately making things difficult for her.

"I haven't eaten them, how would I know?" Liu Zaishi defended himself loudly.

"Heaven, so ignorant." Yejin said with a look of disdain.

"Who are you talking about? Me? I'm the one who asks the questions~!" Liu Zaishi said excitedly.

"Even the one who asks questions doesn't know this~!" Yejin retorted.

The other family members also joined in criticizing Liu Zaishi.

Liu Zaishi was instantly flustered, "Do I really not know? Looking through the answer card, 'Wood ear, there's no wood ear here.'"

"Did you eat things without knowing their names before?" Yejin continued to mock him.

"When did I eat wood ear?"

"You've eaten it, we all have."

Seeing Liu Zaishi's silly behavior, Lee Shin-hyung chimed in, "Brother Liu, when you eat sweet and sour pork, the black, crispy thing is wood ear~!"

Liu Zaishi tore off the question card and said smugly, "That was just a practice question."

This left Yejin speechless with anger.

.................................................................................

In the end, Daesung was unfortunately chosen to make breakfast.

Because Liu Zaishi had offended everyone by randomly shooting off during the question-and-answer session, Daesung chose Liu Zaishi as his breakfast assistant. Daesung's choice was praised by the other family members, who happily went back to their rooms to catch up on sleep. Only Liu Zaishi was left with a bitter face, regretting his actions.

After sitting there for a while, Liu Zaishi asked, "What should we make for breakfast?" Without waiting for Daesung's response, he answered himself, "Breakfast should be simple, right?"

Daesung nodded, "Yes."

"After all, we don't know how to cook much, and we don't have many ingredients," Liu Zaishi said, "We drank all the loaches in soup yesterday, right?"

Daesung said softly, "Let's make ramen then."

Liu Zaishi also said softly, "Ramen? ... Okay, let's make ramen."

Then the two went to the kitchen to find the ramen and the pot. Liu Zaishi carried the large pot to the sink, "For eight people, how much water should we put in?" He asked Daesung, who was holding the ramen, "Daesung, check the instructions on the ramen bag, what does it say?"

Daesung took out a pack of ramen and read the instructions, "One pack of ramen requires 550 milliliters of water, which is about three cups of the cup in your hand..."

"550 milliliters? How much is that?" Liu Zaishi held up the cup and asked Daesung.

"..."

Just then, Liu Zaishi saw a mineral water bottle by the sink, picked it up, and asked, "This... how many milliliters is this?"

Daesung leaned in, "Oh~! 500 milliliters."

"Then how much for the ramen?" Liu Zaishi looked at the ramen in Daesung's hand.

"550 milliliters."

"Oh~! That makes it easier. One bottle is 500 milliliters, so how many times do we need to pour for eight people?" Liu Zaishi washed the water bottle and asked.

"Eight... eight times, I guess." Daesung wasn't quite sure.

"Five times eight is forty, so nine times, right? We should pour it nine times." Liu Zaishi calculated.

While filling the pot with water, Liu Zaishi looked up at the VJ and the writers.

"Do you think we look silly?" Liu Zaishi asked, finding it a bit funny himself.

The VJ nodded honestly, "Yes."

"Wow~! How can you say that?" Liu Zaishi continued to fill the water bottle, feeling a bit sad.

After a few times, Liu Zaishi suddenly asked Daesung, "How many times have we poured now?"

"Twice?" Daesung hadn't been counting, so he wasn't sure.

Liu Zaishi looked up at the VJ and asked, "Twice?"

"Maybe three times?" Daesung added, "Because after pouring twice, we talked to the PD."

With no choice, Liu Zaishi had to pour out the water and start over.

Their silly behavior made the staff laugh out loud.

"We need to count, or we'll forget again," Liu Zaishi instructed Daesung.

"But this is a scientific method!" Daesung praised.

"Of course, this is the most scientific method," Liu Zaishi said smugly, "This way, the ramen will taste better."

After filling the pot a few more times, Liu Zaishi asked Daesung again, "Are you counting?"

"..." Daesung was momentarily stunned.

Liu Zaishi immediately felt something was wrong.

"No," Daesung said awkwardly.

"Again, you didn't count?" Liu Zaishi felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

Forget the scientific method, let's just count...

With no choice, they had to ask the VJ for help, "Four times? Or five times?"

The VJ smiled but didn't answer.

"You know, right? Just tell us, we... we look like we have bad brains," Liu Zaishi pleaded.
