Reborn five years ago, Chen Fan participates in a wilderness survival reality show that never existed before. He activates the system and teams up with the popular female star Liu Feifei right from...
The moment the lid was lifted, billowing steam and a fragrant aroma wafted out, instantly making one feel as if they were in a heavenly palace.
Wow! It smells so good!
"I haven't smelled such a wonderful fragrance in a long time."
Liu Feifei excitedly rubbed her hands together, her beautiful eyes fixed on the pot.
The aroma is so enticing, my mouth is practically watering.
This is no exaggeration at all, after all, she hadn't eaten steamed buns for a long time, and the smell was indeed very, very delicious.
The aromas of pork cracklings, lichen, ginger, and lemongrass blend together perfectly.
Once the heat dissipated a bit, eight steamed buns appeared in front of the two of them.
Unlike ordinary steamed buns, those made with sago palm starch become translucent and look like crystal dumplings after steaming.
"So beautiful, such beautiful steamed buns."
"It's practically a giant version of Cantonese afternoon tea shrimp dumplings!"
Looking at the glistening buns in the pot, Liu Feifei exclaimed in surprise once again.
Although I had thought before that the steamed buns they made might be very pretty.
But this crystal-clear feeling is just too tempting.
She couldn't wait to eat them one at a time...
"Not bad, not bad, it seems like today's steamed buns were quite a success."
"It smells wonderful, and it looks very appealing too..."
Chen Fan was very satisfied with the steamed buns he made this time.
I never expected that my first time steaming buns in the wilderness would be such a success.
It looks like crystal buns will be on their menu from now on!
Then Chen Fan took a broad leaf and took all the buns out of the steamer.
Then he said to Liu Feifei, "Put the next batch of buns in, eight is enough. I'll go get some dipping sauce."
Chen Fan handed over the task of steaming the buns to Liu Feifei, since she already knew most of the steps.
He was preparing the dipping sauce for the steamed buns.
First, crush the wild chili peppers and the salted fruit together. This will give you a salty, sour, and spicy flavor.
As for ginger and lemongrass, there's no need to add them, since the filling already contains both of these seasonings.
Meanwhile, in the live stream room.
Netizens were filled with envy.
"Wow!! Are these really steamed buns that the two of them made in the wilderness? They look so beautiful, as clear and translucent as jade."
"Wow!! I have to say, these guys are really amazing. They actually managed to find such beautiful buns in the wilderness."
"Compared to this, the other contestants are simply pathetic."
"I'm now certain that Chen Fan and Liu Feifei are definitely the dark horses of this competition, and they will absolutely be able to persevere to the end."
"I never imagined that living in a big city I could only eat those mindless pickled cabbage noodles made by hand, while others can eat crystal dumplings in the wilderness. It's true what they say, comparisons are odious!"
"I'm so envious! I wish I could team up with Chen Fan..."
...
Meanwhile, in the sixth live stream room, there were also some eliminated celebrities and streamers.
After seeing Chen Fan and Liu Feifei's living conditions, one can't help but admire their strong survival skills.
Even if they manage to survive a few more days, they are still no match for these two.
Meanwhile, Hua Yucheng and Cai Ji were having a gathering.
Because after being eliminated, neither of them managed to gain any popularity or attention through the show.
On the contrary, his poor performance on the island caused his popularity to decline considerably.
The two were kind of like brothers in misfortune, so they would often get together for meals and such.
Seeing how amazing Chen Fan is in the sixth live stream, I can't help but feel jealous...
"Damn it!! Are all these guys in the live stream blind? They think someone like Chen Fan is excellent?"
"Besides some wilderness survival skills, what else does he have? Can he sing? Can he sing, rap, or play basketball?"
"The aesthetic standards of Chinese people nowadays are simply outrageous..."
"How can someone like this become an idol? He's not even as handsome as you."
Hua Yucheng said, very unconvinced.
The voice was full of complaints and disdain.
"Yeah! I think this kid is just average-looking, not as handsome as the two of us."
"And it seems that he is relatively good at wilderness survival, which is probably related to his childhood in the countryside."
"How can someone like this have such a large following? The fan culture these days is getting more and more outrageous..."
Cai Ji quickly nodded and agreed to reconcile.
However, when they said that Chen Fan wasn't as handsome as them, they were a little unsure of themselves.
The girls who were drinking with him also had strange expressions on their faces.
After all, it's obvious to anyone with eyes that Chen Fan is indeed very handsome.
Moreover, it possesses a masculine energy that neither Huayucheng nor Caiji has.
"Come on, let's drink!!"
"Damn it... don't get angry over such a trivial matter."
Hua Yucheng raised his glass and said through gritted teeth.
He simply couldn't understand how, at the peak of his career, the number of viewers in his live streams was less than a third of that of this amateur contestant.
This is an absolute humiliation for these two popular celebrities!
"Huahua, Jiji, you two don't need to be so angry."
"The large number of simultaneous viewers in the sixth live stream room are not watching Chen Fan, but rather Liu Feifei's fans."
"How can he compare to the two of you in terms of looks? Besides, he can't even sing, let alone rap, and he's terrible at basketball."
"You guys are the coolest, you'll always be the top stars..."
"Once the hype dies down, no one will remember a player like Chen Fan."
"But the works you two left us can be passed down for generations."
Just then, a middle-aged woman who looked like a madam smiled and offered her compliments.
She's not actually blind.
If we're talking about looks, Chen Fan is way better than Hua Yucheng and Cai Ji.
And as I got a little older, I started to like boys with a masculine air.
But she has a lot of experience, so she doesn't blush at all when she lies.
"That's right, that's right, Sister Zhang sees things very clearly and understands them perfectly."
"He's just an ordinary amateur contestant; he's not even qualified to be compared to us."
Cai Ji quickly chimed in to agree.
The madam's words just now really struck a chord with him.
"Sister Zhang is right. There's 100,000 yuan in this card. Use it to spend."
"Everyone, eat and drink to your heart's content. Today's expenses are all on me..."
Upon hearing what the madam said, Hua Yucheng was instantly in a good mood and immediately gave the madam a huge tip.
This made the other girls who were drinking with the hostess extremely envious.
Sure enough, she has the qualifications to become a madam!
