In this way, Tao Pingfan, who was originally sitting alone in the living room, now had a companion holding a pig's trotter hand.

One was wrapped in a blanket, and the other raised his hands. They looked at each other, their faces flushed, and they had to look down at their phones.

On the other side, all the dinner preparations were completed, and Zhao Mei officially started to stir-fry the stew.

Taking different flavors into consideration, the stewed dishes made this time are very rich, including egg sauce, diced eggplant and meat, tomato and egg, stir-fried meat with beans, beef and mushroom sauce, and all kinds of things are placed on the table.

Coupled with a big pot of noodles, the scene is quite grand.

At least Min Yuanliang and Luo Shuang, who had never seen a big pot meal, were shocked.

He Xingwen and his companions were already used to it, so they took their own bowls of noodles and scooped up the sauce with large spoons.

Seeing them being so extravagant, Zhao Mei quickly stopped them and said, "No, no, no, I made it very salty this time. Please put less, there's still plenty left."

Li Teng, who had already impatiently finished mixing it, quickly took a sip and said, "Oh, it's delicious! No way, it doesn't taste salty at all. You should add this beef and mushroom. It's really fresh."

Following closely behind, Xi Jia also shared: "I think this tomato and egg dish is classic and delicious, and not too salty."

Zhao Mei gave herself a spoonful of the same food. Seeing that they were enjoying the meal, she didn't forget to say, "It's okay if you don't like it too salty. I made a lot anyway, so feel free to add any amount."

However, the braised meat was more or less unappealing, and most of it was pitch black, which made the two spoiled people on the side frown in disgust.

Luo Shuang, who was able to use her hands, just served herself some tomato and egg mixture and ate a few bites, while Min Yuanliang, who only had his left hand left, simply didn't pick up his chopsticks.

Although Zhao Mei had noticed the disgust in the two people and didn't want to care about it at all, considering that Min Yuanliang's hands were already clumsy and he had really helped with cooking before, she kindly served him a bowl of stew.

"Eat it, it's delicious. We have to go up the mountain tomorrow. If you don't eat anything and just rely on breakfast, you'll faint from hunger before you even get up the mountain. It'll be so embarrassing in front of the cameras."

Perhaps Zhao Mei's persuasion was too sharp, and the originally stubborn Min Yuanliang had to stir the noodles with trembling hands, secretly made up his mind, picked up a few noodles, and ate them with all his might.

Of course, the human body is always the most honest. Soon, the taste of noodles made Min Yuanliang honestly start to slurp them.

Seeing this, Luo Shuang beside him also scooped a few spoonfuls of eggplant sauce to try it out skeptically. After taking a careful bite, she looked up and her eyes brightened a lot.

Zhao Mei just shook her head and smiled, then continued to eat her noodles.

The six people at the table were chatting and laughing, while the other two were addicted to eating noodles. They started with a small sip and ended up having three reorders for the noodles.

Zhao Mei and the older people were amazed by what they saw. They thought that he was indeed young and had a good appetite.

After dinner, the six of them cleared the table and gathered together to play cards. However, since dinner was not too early, they just chatted briefly and then returned to their respective rooms.

The fatigue from the day is still fresh in my mind, and I expect to feel just as tired tomorrow, so I might as well go to bed early.

Several people fell asleep extremely quickly that day.

But how can physical fatigue be relieved so easily?

The next morning, the rooster was still working hard, stretching its fat neck and screaming at the top of its lungs.

Although Zhao Mei has completely recovered and nothing is wrong, the remaining five people are suffering the same pain.

After a night's sleep, I not only didn't feel fully recovered when I woke up, I felt even worse than yesterday afternoon.

They all went downstairs with their hips supported and legs crossed.

Although things will probably get much better once the event starts, the initial pain is unavoidable.

Then Zhao Mei saw a lot of grinning faces.

Since there was still a lot of noodles with gravy left from last night, I simply heated it up and continued eating it for breakfast today to avoid wasting food.

It’s just right for a bit of physical activity, so eating something solid won’t make you too weak.

After everyone had finished their meal, Yu Chen came in with the program crew on time.

"Good morning, everyone! I believe yesterday was a joyful day for everyone, and I hope today will be no different. The program team will take you to the hills behind the village. There's an orange grove there, in the middle of a harvest season, and they're struggling to sell. It's one of the products featured in tonight's live broadcast."

"Further down the mountain, there are several large warehouses dedicated to growing mushrooms. A batch of dried shiitake mushrooms has just arrived for sale. Anyway, today's schedule is quite tight, so everyone just has to..."

Li Teng stood up and interrupted Yu Chen: "Only twenty minutes, got it, director, we'll go now."

Yu Chen was interrupted, but he didn't get angry. He just smiled and said, "Okay, start the timer!"

Yesterday's equipment is still useful today, and several people look the same as yesterday.

But Min Yuanliang and Luo Shuang's equipment was much simpler, just sunglasses and hats. Luo Shuang was better off, with a parasol and sleeves.

Seeing them like this, Qiao Qiudie couldn't help but grumble to Zhao Mei in a low voice: "What's with the parasol? How can you pick oranges with an umbrella? I don't understand."

Zhao Mei followed her gaze and glanced over: "Min Yuanliang is outrageous. He's wearing a baseball cap. I'm afraid his neck will be in trouble."

Qiao Qiudie couldn't help but want to laugh: "I guess he'll be scolded to death by his agent. By then, his neck and face will definitely be two different colors."

The two of them didn't say anything more, and the entire program crew set off in a mighty procession towards the back mountain.

The village was not big, and it took only a short walk to reach the end. A gentle breeze blew over, and Zhao Mei sniffed and could already smell the faint scent of ripe oranges.

The path up the mountain was obviously well traveled, well trodden and safe, with no steep spots.

The top of the mountain was not very high and we soon reached the top. After walking a few steps forward, the view in front of us suddenly opened up.

Suddenly, a clearing appeared in the dense green forest before my eyes. Looking further ahead, I could vaguely see the iron fence and the rows of fruit trees full of golden fruits protected by it.

The mist evaporating from the fruit trees that had just been watered made the entire orchard look particularly beautiful.

The early morning sunlight shines on the orchard, capturing the shape of the light through the mist and gaps in the leaves.

The oranges, which look plump from a distance, look even more juicy and attractive under the light.

Several people who had never seen the world stopped to admire it for a while before being called back to their senses by the director.

"This is the village's Tangxin Orchard. Its main product is oranges, and today you will be helping the orchard director harvest the oranges. The person next to me is director Chen Hua."

Now everyone saw the person next to Yu Chen. She was an elderly rural woman, dressed simply, with a sincere smile on her weather-beaten face.

"Welcome everyone from the Hope Village program team to our Sugar Heart Orchard. We are so grateful for your help in promoting it."
