Chapter 81: 'Dumb and Dumber' is Born

VJ, seeing their pitiful state, had no choice but to tell them.

Who knew that after counting for just a few moments, they forgot how many times they had filled the pot.

Looking at the water in the pot, Liu Zaishi was completely speechless and didn't want to ask VJ for help anymore.

"Liu Dacheng, you haven't washed your face yet, right? Go get the basin," Liu Zaishi said weakly.

After three attempts, they finally managed to fill the pot with water.

Lee Seung-hyung had been standing behind the staff, watching these two. He felt that their behavior was too unreliable. Moreover, Lee Seung-hyung didn't eat ramen, so he decided to make his own breakfast to prevent any unforeseen circumstances.

"Liu Zaishi, are you eating ramen this early in the morning?" Lee Seung-hyung asked as he walked out.

Liu Dacheng and Liu Zaishi were startled by Lee Seung-hyung and quickly replied, "No, we're not cooking ramen!"

"Oh! Don't deny it. You were talking so loudly that everyone in the house was woken up. Everyone knows about it."

Seeing this, Liu Zaishi had no choice but to admit, "We have no choice. We don't know anything!"

"Alright, I'll go check the vegetable garden. Leave the leftover rice from last night for me. I'll make fried rice later." Lee Seung-hyung instructed and then turned to leave the yard.

Liu Zaishi placed the pot on the gas stove and lit the fire. Looking at the empty pot of water, he asked Liu Dacheng, who was taking out the ramen, "Do you want to add anchovies?"

"Yesterday, it tasted quite fishy."

"Is that so?"

Liu Zaishi wasn't sure either, and Lee Seung-hyung wasn't around.

"But adding them to the ramen shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"Is it okay? Should we add two? Or not at all? Would it be better without anchovies? Would it taste fishy?" Liu Zaishi was indecisive.

"Didn't you say adding anchovies would make it taste better?"

"Is that so?"

"Then, how about adding two? Just two?"

Liu Zaishi nodded, "Let's add two, but not too many."

Liu Dacheng put down the bowl and chopsticks and ran into the kitchen to get the anchovies.

Liu Zaishi started to hesitate again and asked the kitchen, "Will it taste bad? Should we not add them? Or not at all?" After saying this, he changed his mind, "Let's add two, just two."

[After the show aired, the behind-the-scenes note read: A real-life Dumb and Dumber (阿呆与阿瓜) was playing out.]

Liu Dacheng brought two anchovies to the cool bed, "How about just one?"

"Then, let's not add any?"

"Add them and then take them out?" Liu Dacheng noticed.

"Huh?" Liu Zaishi didn't hear clearly.

"Once you put them in and cook them, you can take them out," Liu Dacheng said softly.

In the end, the two decided to add two anchovies...

Looking at the two anchovies in the pot, the two couldn't help but laugh.

"Such a big pot, and only two anchovies, it's really funny," Liu Zaishi said with a smile.

"Liu Dacheng, you're not the type to lead people, right?"

"No, I'm not... I don't have much of an opinion."

"Me neither," Liu Zaishi said, "Give me a spoon, I'll taste it."

"So soon?" Liu Dacheng asked in surprise, "The anchovies haven't cooked yet."

"Once it's in your mouth, the taste will be different." Liu Zaishi stirred the pot with a spoon, scooped up a bit, and put it in his mouth, saying with a smile, "The soup tastes unique, try it."

Liu Dacheng took the spoon, "Oh~! Different! Different! Really different! It's the smell of the sea! The smell of the sea!"

At this moment, Lee Seung-hyung returned from picking vegetables, "Liu Dacheng, come help me wash the vegetables."

"Okay, brother." Liu Dacheng quickly put down his work and ran over.

Placing the vegetables by the sink, Lee Seung-hyung walked into the kitchen and soon came out with a lot of things.

There was a lot of leftover rice from yesterday, so Lee Seung-hyung scooped some to cook porridge first.

Taking the vegetables Liu Dacheng had washed, "Brother, I'll cut the green onions for you. Put them in when the ramen is done."

"Okay, I know," Liu Zaishi responded.

Lee Seung-hyung picked two green onions, a zucchini, and a few peppers.

The zucchini wasn't very big, so Lee Seung-hyung cut it into cubes. He chopped some of the green onions for the fried rice and sliced the rest. He also chopped the peppers.

Fried rice isn't a difficult dish to make, but making it taste good is a bit challenging.

Even though Lee Seung-hyung's fried rice was simple, with no eggs, both Liu Dacheng and Liu Zaishi, as well as the staff, watched with interest.

By the time Lee Seung-hyung finished the fried rice, the ramen was also cooked, and Liu Zaishi was putting the green onions into the pot.

"Liu Dacheng, go call everyone for breakfast. We still have work to do," Lee Seung-hyung placed the frying pan directly on the table.

"Okay, brother." Liu Dacheng immediately ran into the house to call everyone.

Liu Zaishi, who had cooked the ramen, also ran over, taking the megaphone with him.

A few seconds later, Liu Zaishi's voice echoed throughout the yard.

"Please come for breakfast! The soup is very delicious, very delicious, please come out quickly!" Liu Zaishi held the megaphone and praised his own work.

The first to come out of the house was Yi Jin.

"Yi Jin, do you want to drink some porridge to warm your stomach first, or eat the fried rice?" Lee Seung-hyung asked, holding a bowl.

"Wow~! There's actually fried rice, it looks so good." Yi Jin said with a nasal tone, "Thank you, Seung-hyung-oppa, I'll drink some porridge first."

Liu Zaishi, jealous, said, "What's so good about the white porridge, Yi Jin? Try oppa's ramen, you won't know how delicious the soup is until you try it~!"

"Ramen can be eaten at home, what's so special about it? Seung-hyung-oppa's cooking is different, thank you, oppa~!" Yi Jin took the porridge Lee Seung-hyung handed her.

Undeterred, Liu Zaishi watched as the members came out one by one, continuously promoting, "Delicious ramen, everyone should try it~! Think about why the soup is so delicious when you eat the ramen. Why?"

"It's just because you added anchovies, I saw them in the pot," Yi Jin directly pointed out.

"..."

Liu Zaishi was devastated. After working hard all morning, he didn't even get a chance to take credit.

After everyone sat down at the cool bed, they started eating the simple breakfast.

"This fried rice is simple but very delicious, as expected of Seung-hyung~!" food critic Yoon Jong-shin commented.

"Thank goodness for Seung-hyung~! Otherwise, we would only have ramen," picky eater Kim Soo-roo also nodded in satisfaction.

"Brother, the ramen is also very delicious," Liu Zaishi protested. "We discussed the ramen many times... how many anchovies to add, whether to add them or not..."

Yoon Jong-shin interrupted, "You don't need to say more. I heard you in the house, you talk so much when you cook ramen~! I couldn't even get a good sleep~!"

"...Really...?" Liu Zaishi scratched his head, embarrassed, and said softly.

"Zaishi, what are we doing today?" Hyo-ri, who seemed a bit tired, asked.

"Feed the black sheep and the pig, and then, of course, play games! Games~!"

"Play games again?" Everyone was speechless. Why play games again~!

"Of course, we'll play games~! After feeding the 'kids' and tidying up the hay, we'll play games."

Kim Soo-roo commented, "It's almost at the level of 'Can we really play games like this~' because we've been playing games all the time~!"
