"Sister Yiyi, are you serious?"
Xiong Ying widened her eyes, finding it hard to believe Qiao Yiyi's bold words.
Lian Ru also frowned slightly: "Yes, Yiyi, after buying two tents we are out of money, what should we do next..."
Qu Xiaoqu's stomach rumbled at the right moment. He quickly covered his stomach and smiled sheepishly, "Sorry, I didn't have enough this morning."
Zong Chang stared at Qiao Yiyi without saying a word, wanting to know what she would do next. He didn't know why, but he inexplicably believed in her.
Seeing everyone looking at her seriously, Qiao Yiyi felt a moment of nervousness, but soon she said confidently, "I just took a quick look around our area and saw several coconut trees and some fruit trees. There were a few small crabs crawling around the rocks on the left side of the beach, and there should be other seafood in the water."
After Qiao Yiyi's reminder, the others began to examine their area. Seeing the rich vegetation, they could see at a glance the coconut trees that Qiao Yiyi mentioned, with huge coconuts on them.
Although the shore is filled with a strong primitive atmosphere, a seabird occasionally jumps down, flaps its wings a few times, splashes water, and when it flies up again, it holds a small fish in its mouth.
Maybe it's not as bad as Qiao Yiyi said.
"Okay, then let's listen to Sister Yiyi and buy a tent first." Xiong Ying said with a firm look.
Although Lian Ru still had doubts, she did not say anything.
Seeing that no one had any objections, Xiong Ying, as the team leader, used the team's funds to buy two sets of tent equipment.
Shortly after placing the order, staff dropped two packages over by helicopter.
[The production crew is really good at this. This helicopter is like free.]
[The Northern Lions are truly generous, no wonder they've come up with so many fancy things.]
[Why does it feel like I'm playing a large-scale competitive shooting game? ]
[No matter what, they won't have to sleep on the beach tonight!]
Qiao Yiyi and Zong Chang quickly opened the package, and sure enough, just as the store said, everything was inside.
Xiong Ying said in surprise, "Look, the merchant rewarded us with 50 points."
It turned out that after they spent 500 Lion Coins, the system store returned 50 points.
Lian Ru asked, "What's the use of these points?"
Xiong Ying looked at the description next to the points: "It can be used to redeem goods."
Lian Ru urged: "Hurry up and see what you can exchange!"
Xiong Ying quickly swiped her phone, looked around at the sad faces, and said, "The amount is too small. Basically, I can't exchange it for anything."
Qu Xiaoqu sighed: "Alas, all my joy was for nothing."
Qiao Yiyi was busy taking tent-related items out of the package with Zong Chang, intending to find a better place to set up the tent. Upon hearing this, she dusted off her hands and said to Xiong Ying, "Let me see."
Xiong Ying handed her the phone.
Qiao Yiyi scanned the points redemption interface and found that just as Xiong Ying said, basically nothing could be exchanged for it.
A frying pan costs 10,000 points, and a 5L bottle of water costs 500 points. Their 50 points are only enough to buy a small 500ml bottle of water.
Even a lighter costs 60 points, it feels like the production team did it on purpose.
Well, she was still thinking about whether she could find a lighter, but it seems she was overthinking it.
But a dagger seems to be quite cheap, and can be exchanged for 30 points.
Qiao Yiyi said to everyone: "We can change a dagger first, we will need it later."
The others nodded. Xiong Ying said, "Sister Yiyi, you can change whatever you want!"
Qiao Yiyi then exchanged 30 points for a dagger, then returned the phone to Xiong Ying and continued to look for Zong Chang to set up a tent.
Last time on Qingyuan Mountain in City C, Stationmaster Wang taught them how to set up a tent. Zong Chang also did this on the show "Extreme Forward Rush", so it was not very difficult for them.
They chose a flat and slightly higher place, and other people came to help. Soon, the tents were set up. Zong Chang even brought a few large stones to secure the tents.
After a lot of hard work, the accommodation problem was finally solved and everyone was very happy.
However, at this moment, except for Qu Xiaoqu, everyone's stomach started to growl.
Qiao Yiyi: "Wait, I'll pick some fruits for you to eat first!"
Lian Ru thought she was joking: "The tree is so tall, how are you going to pick it?"
Xiong Ying immediately understood what Qiao Yiyi meant. She had seen many videos of Qiao Yiyi climbing trees online, so she smiled and explained to Lian Ru, "Sister Lian Ru, Sister Yiyi is an expert at climbing trees."
[Right, right. I almost forgot Qiao Yiyi had this skill. I was wondering why she was so confident in asking me to buy two tents!]
[Hahahahaha, I can see the monkey Qiao Yiyi climbing the tree again.]
After Qiao Yiyi finished speaking, she walked to a coconut tree, activated her monkey attributes, and climbed up the tree in no time, leaving Lian Ru, who rarely went online to watch melons, stunned.
This time, there was no small backpack prepared by the program team, so Qiao Yiyi could only pick one coconut. She carried it down once and ran back and forth several times before finally picking a coconut for everyone.
When netizens saw her flexible figure, they all gave her 666 on the screen.
【Qiao Yiyi will not let us down.】
[She really looks like a monkey! I suspect she was transformed from a monkey!]
[Qiao Yiyi, after you get off the island, can you share your tree climbing experience with us? I want to learn too.]
Now that they had the coconuts, they faced a new challenge - how to open them.
Zong Chang volunteered: "Let me do it."
When he was recording "Extreme Forward", he saw local villagers in the south teaching how to open coconuts, and they demonstrated it with and without props.
He took out the dagger that Qiao Yiyi had just exchanged, placed the coconut on a hard, flat stone, first used the dagger to peel off the outer skin, then picked up a stone and smashed it hard along the exposed cracks on the top of the coconut. When the shell broke, he broke it open, revealing the milky white coconut meat inside.
"How amazing!" Xiong Ying couldn't help but praise.
Zong Chang's fans are also very proud: [That's because, although our Zong Chang doesn't like to talk much, he is the type who works quietly.]
When recording "Extreme Forward," he was the one who did the most work, so he was always snatched away by Teacher Xu Shao and Teacher Hao.
Other passersby: [I'm a little impressed with Zong Chang. When I was watching Ji Chong, all the attention was on Xu Lao Xie and Sheng Xia. I felt like Zong Chang was just a background figure. I didn't expect this guy to be so impressive.]
Zong Chang peeled all five coconuts in one go, then used a knife to carve a hole in each one, then handed them to everyone one by one: "You can drink now."
Several people were really thirsty at this moment. The island had plenty of sunshine, and although there was shade where they set up their tent, it was still a bit hot.
Everyone drank the coconut milk and finally quenched their thirst. After drinking the coconut milk, Zong Chang helped them cut the coconut meat, so they were barely less hungry.
But this alone is far from enough.
The tent set came with two barbecue grills. Qiao Yiyi said, "Let's go see if we can catch some shrimp and crabs so we can grill them later."
As soon as they heard that they were going to have a barbecue, the group of people immediately became excited.
First, everyone went to the woods to break off a few thick branches, sharpened one end with a dagger, and each person took one to the shallows.
[Hahaha, why is their style different from others? Others are building infrastructure, while they are surviving in the wilderness.]
[Chi Wei has already come up with a business plan, but they're still worried about food.]
[No choice. The five-star and four-star districts each have their own box of supplies, including food and drinks. Xiang Rong and the others haven't spent a cent yet.]
Perhaps because of this, there are so many viewers in Qiao Yiyi’s live broadcast room in Area 5. Everyone wants to know how they will have their first hot meal today.
“Will there really be shrimp?”
Xiong Ying rolled up her trouser legs and poked the water here and there with a stick.
The audience was also very curious.
Then Qu Xiaoqu screamed and jumped up.
"I feel like I'm being pinched!"
Qiao Yiyi and the others rushed over to see that the shrimp had disappeared, but they did see a crab claw sticking out from between some rocks. Upon closer inspection, they realized it was a large blue crab nestled under the rocks.
There are actually crabs! They look pretty big.
[Hahaha, this crab is still holding its two big claws. Does it think others can't see it?]
【Crab: As long as I pretend I didn't see you, I won't get caught.】
[It's over, I'm drooling just looking at those pincers.]
Everyone was excited to find the crab, but they were a little hesitant when it came to catching it from under the rock.
Especially Qu Xiaoqu, who had just been pinched by an unknown shrimp, and now seeing such a big crab claw, he didn't dare to move forward.
Seeing this, Qiao Yiyi decided to catch it herself.
She first tried to poke it in with a stick, trying to force it out, but the crab just stayed inside and wouldn't come out.
Qiao Yiyi got anxious and rolled up her sleeves, ready to reach out and grab him, muttering to herself, "I don't believe I can't find you."
Zong Chang grabbed her wrist and stopped her: "Let me do it."
He borrowed Qiao Yiyi's tree stick and used it with his own to clamp a crab claw like chopsticks. Then he clamped it out with force, revealing part of the crab's body. Then he quickly stretched out his other hand and pulled it out.
It was a big blue crab as big as an adult's palm!
[666, Zong Chang is brave and not afraid of being pinched by pliers.]
[Am I the only one who thinks his "Let me do it" just now is full of boyfriend power? ]
[Oh no, I feel like I'm having a heart attack. Is this what a heartbeat is?]
[Suddenly, I wanted to transform into that crab, being held in Zong Chang's hand.]
They were encouraged by finding the first crab and soon discovered more under the rocks. When they broke open many large rocks, they could see crabs hiding underneath.
They even found several fish under a rock, which must have been stranded there after the tide receded. Qiao Yiyi had to spend another 10 points to exchange for a bucket, which she quickly filled halfway. She also picked a lot of kelp from a reef covered with kelp.
The group returned to the tent with a full load.
However, now that they had the ingredients, they encountered a new problem: how to start a fire.
It happened that Liu Jin and his group were getting familiar with the island and unknowingly walked over to Qiao Yiyi and the others. They were surprised to see them carrying a bucket of seafood.
"Did you catch this?" Liu Jin asked in disbelief.
Xiong Ying was immersed in the joy of the harvest and nodded happily: "Yes."
Liu Jin and his team drew Area 2. Although it was equipped with living quarters and kitchen supplies, those things were completely unusable because there was no gas and no food.
The things in the store were too expensive, so they spent two hundred lion coins to buy a bag of bread. The five of them could barely fill their stomachs after eating it, but they were all grown men after all, so they got hungry again not long after. They had to use the excuse of being familiar with the island to see if they could find something to eat.
I was even more shocked when I saw Qiao Yiyi and her friends had a bucket of seafood and even some leftover coconuts outside the tent.
"How did you get those coconuts?" asked one of his team members.
Qu Xiaoqu said happily, "Sister Yiyi climbed up the tree and picked them."
The men's gang fell silent.
Seeing the shrimps and crabs jumping around in the bucket, they drooled with envy and felt even hungrier.
Liu Jin and Lian Ru were quite familiar with each other, having filmed a movie together before, so he approached Lian Ru to discuss the matter: "Well, Miss Lian, you have so much seafood, I guess you can't finish it all. How about sharing some with us?"
Lian Ru looked puzzled: "Is it a lot? I think we can finish it."
Liu Jin was so shameless for his brother: "Since we played a family before, please give us some charity."
"That won't work." Lian Ru said firmly, "This is the result of our hard work all afternoon. If you want to eat it, go find it in your own area."
Liu Jin: But our area is inside the island and there is no beach!
He waved his hand and said, "How about this? I'll buy it with Lion Coins. How much is one crab? Name your price."
When she heard the word "Lion Coin", Qiao Yiyi, who was processing seafood, immediately pricked up her ears.
Thinking of something, she put down the shrimp in her hand, walked up to Liu Jin and asked, "Uncle Jin, do you want to buy our things?"
Liu Jin nodded: "As long as it's not as outrageous as in the store."
Qiao Yiyi understood, and she said with a smile: "Actually, you don't have to buy anything special, you just need to provide us with a few things and we can eat together."
"What is it?" Liu Jin asked impatiently.
Qiao Yiyi: "Just buy us a lighter."
Liu Jin: "That's it?"
Qiao Yiyi nodded: "We don't have fire, we need to use a lighter to make a fire."
"Oh, I didn't think it was a big deal. We don't have fire, so the pot is just for decoration."
Qiao Yiyi's eyes lit up: "You have a pot?"
Liu Jin hummed, "Yes, a pot for cooking, and a gas stove without gas."
Qiao Yiyi felt that these were the most beautiful words she had heard today.
She suppressed her excitement and said, "Uncle Jin, you can come with us. It doesn't cost any money. Just buy us a lighter and lend us your pot."
When Liu Jin's team heard that food was available, someone immediately said, "Pot, right? I'll go get it right away!"
Some even asked, “Do you need anything else?”
Qiao Yiyi said with some difficulty: "If only I could get a few more bottles of purified water..."
Liu Jin said readily, "That's easy. Among the supplies we distributed was a large bucket of water. We'll have plenty of water, but there's no food. It's too tragic."
Qiao Yiyi and her friends: “???”
Is this miserable? Can it be as miserable as them?
They finally realized the disparity in the world, it turns out they are different!
The men not only provided them with pots, gas stoves, and bottled water, but they had nothing.
[How pitiful! It feels like the children know something terrible.]
[Here they should have a lightning bolt on their heads, a thunderclap. Otherwise they would think others are just like them.]
I really want to see how they feel after they find out that Xiang Rong and his family live in a big villa.
[You've taken all the giant panda's bamboo shoots in front.]
Lian Ru looked at the camera crew and said with a forced smile: "So we are the only ones who have nothing?"
Lian Ru previously played a psychologically twisted mother whose smile was particularly creepy, and she became famous for her "smile that is terrifying when you think about it carefully."
Although she has a very gentle personality, the staff may have felt guilty and inexplicably thought of that smile, and suddenly felt a chill down their spines.
He is indeed a veteran actor.
A staff member chuckled and said, "The director mentioned earlier that the areas will be different. Some areas will be rich in resources, while others will be relatively poor."
Xiong Ying muttered softly: "So we have nothing..."
Staff: "That can't be helped. It's just your bad luck that you got area 5."
Qiao Yiyi: “…”
Being caught in the crossfire for no reason.
However, it is completely meaningless to pursue these issues now, and no one blames Qiao Yiyi for drawing the poor District 5 for them.
The Men's Gang didn't know that Qiao Yiyi and the others had nothing left. Qiao Yiyi was afraid that they would use this to control her, so she didn't reveal that the tent was purchased. Liu Jin and the others thought that the tent was also a basic supporting facility.
The two areas weren't far apart, and soon someone arrived with a half-bucket of water and a pot. The lighters Uncle Jin had bought for them at the mall were also ready.
Everyone divided the work and cooperated with each other. Some moved stones to build the stove, some picked up dry branches, some helped to process the seafood, some helped to set up the barbecue grill, and some went to cut branches to use for skewering seafood later.
It wasn't long before they had a fire going.
Qiao Yiyi and Lian Ru had already processed the seafood and inserted them one by one using branches cut by the boys in the men's gang.
I also left a few crabs and prawns to make soup with purified water.
Because it is fresh seafood, it contains salt, so there is no need to add extra seasoning.
Soon, the tempting aroma of grilled shrimp, grilled crabs and grilled fish fillets wafted from the barbecue grill.
The water in the pot was boiling, bubbling.
Qiao Yiyi threw the largest crabs into the pot to cook. With the rising heat, the green crab shells quickly turned red.
[Damn it! I came here to see Qiao Yiyi and the others suffer, why did I let myself be seduced by them!]
[I want to know if this seafood without any seasoning is really delicious? Will it not taste fishy? ]
[Those who live by the sea can tell you that freshly caught and cooked seafood is very delicious. Those who say it smells fishy probably haven't eaten real seafood.]
[Yes, fresh and fishy are two different concepts. Fresh has a light sweet taste, while fishy has a smell that is disgusting.]
I agree with the previous point, and they also have a natural salty flavor. You see, many Cantonese dishes are cooked very simply, sometimes without any seasoning, but they are still very delicious when they are hot.
[It's over, after hearing you say that, I suddenly feel so greedy! ]
At this time, night was gradually falling. This area was located on the west side of the island, and the entire beach was dyed a beautiful bright red by the huge sunset.
Accompanied by waves of tempting aroma, the grilled fish, grilled shrimp and grilled kelp on the barbecue grill will soon be ready, and the steamed crabs in the pot are ready to be eaten.
Zong Chang and several boys found some clean stones, moved them together, and used them as stools for everyone.
Qiao Yiyi climbed up the coconut tree again and picked a coconut for everyone.
So everyone gathered around the barbecue grill and the fire, drinking coconut milk while eating barbecued and steamed crab meat. They even took some food for the crew members who were filming.
Although they are a bit mean and what they say is always irritating, they still carry the cameras for a whole day and it is very hard work.
Why should we make things difficult for other office workers?
The staff were flattered and didn't expect that they would also have such a good feast.
It must be so happy to be a cameraman of the "Salted Fish Farm". You can also eat delicious food!
In the distance is the endless sea, and the sunset rays fall on the sea, like a broken orange palette.
A sea breeze blew, making the flames flicker on her slender waist.
When the audience saw this scene, they were all envious.
[What a beautiful sunset, what a pleasant evening! I really want to go to the beach.]
[It makes me want to find a place like this to live in seclusion, facing the sea, with spring flowers blooming, how poetic~]
Those crabs lived under rocks, facing the sea. When spring came and flowers bloomed, they were still turned over by someone and thrown into the pot to be boiled.
The netizen who wanted to live in seclusion: [……]
[Honey, could you please not be so disappointing! ]
"But let's be honest, if I really left you here, you wouldn't be able to hold out as long as Qiao Yiyi and the others. First, you can't climb trees, so coconuts are out of your reach. Secondly, most of you can't cook, so even if you caught a crab, you probably wouldn't know how to eat it."
Netizens whose hearts were touched: [……]
Could you please stop telling the truth?
While Qiao Yiyi and her friends were enjoying a happy barbecue dinner at the beach, Chi Wei and her "Fairy Ministry of Foreign Affairs" were in an awkward situation.
After Chi Wei's long and passionate speech on business theory in the morning, everyone's initial enthusiasm turned into lack of interest.
The reason was simple. They soon discovered that this team leader was the type who "talked but did not act", that is, a pure master of theory.
And because of the bed issue, there was some distance between them.
Chi Wei and her friends lived in a tree house, which was connected between two thick trees. It was built in a dreamy way that made girls look beautiful, except that the beds inside were bunk beds.
When we came in, two girls had a small dispute over the bunk bed issue. Although it was finally resolved through mediation, the two girls were still a little unhappy.
Then came Pei Zhen. Pei Zhen relied on his powerful background and was unwilling to sleep in the bunk bed with them. He wanted to sleep in that separate bed.
But the other two girls said that Chi Wei was the team leader and the separate bed should be reserved for her.
Pei Zhen's face looked a little unhappy.
Seeing this, Chi Wei felt that she was being pretentious, but since she had brought the person here herself, she said it didn't matter where she slept and gave the single bed to Pei Zhen.
The two girls felt a little unfair for Chi Wei and were dissatisfied with Pei Zhen.
But because of the camera, everyone maintained superficial peace, and the morning passed peacefully.
It wasn't until noon that everyone was hungry and wanted to eat.
Because the food in the supply box was mostly snacks, and the female artists were self-disciplined and had extremely high requirements for their body shape and appearance, they were unwilling to eat these snacks, so they discussed buying some vegetables and fruits in the mall to make vegetable salad and fruit salad.
But the food in the mall is very expensive. Chi Wei has just made a business plan and needs money. She doesn’t want to spend the start-up capital on food. She wants to spend the money wisely.
One of the girls was unhappy and said sarcastically, "What do you mean by 'on the edge of a knife'? Isn't food the most important thing for people?"
This girl also comes from a wealthy family and has connections and background. She has never suffered any grievances since she was a child.
Chi Wei patiently explained to her, "We have limited funds, only 500 yuan. The vegetables and fruits in the mall are too expensive, and we can't buy anything with this little money. It's better to use up the food in the supply box first, and then find a way to make money to buy these."
The girl said, "But eating those things will make you fat. I have a physique that is prone to obesity, so I strictly control my diet every day."
Chi Wei was speechless, thinking, what's the point of you participating in this show? Are they treating you like a princess?
But she had no choice. After all, she was the one who invited the girls here. Even though she was feeling a little frustrated, she still spent nearly half of the money to buy some vegetables and fruits, and finally solved the lunch problem.
But he was worried that at the rate this young lady was eating, they would soon run out of money.
Chi Wei now regrets very much that she invited them to form a team.
Her teammates were also a little dissatisfied with her as a little leader.
So after wasting the entire afternoon and getting nothing done, they now have to face the problem of what to eat in the evening.
Even through the screen, I felt suffocated for Chi Wei. It felt like I was serving a bunch of young ladies.
[They say three women make a drama, let alone five of them.]
[I feel like if they had cell phones and contact information right now, they'd probably be in several groups.]
[Be more confident and remove the "estimate"; it's clear they're not on the same page.]
Qiao Yiyi's group is more enjoyable to watch. There are no arguments or intrigues; everyone is just trying to survive.
Uncle Jin's group is also okay; they're quite straightforward and don't play tricks.
[They've just formed an alliance with the Salted Fish Group, saying they'll provide Qiao Yiyi and the others with tools, and Qiao Yiyi and the others will just provide the food.]
【Hahahaha, this is also possible.】
I'm going to go back to watching Qiao Yiyi and the others. This one is making me feel a bit choked up.
[Sister, wait, I'll go too.]
After a pleasant dinner, it was getting late and everyone gathered together to chat.
Without mobile phones and internet, they feel that time is so long.
Liu Jin and Lian Ru once played a couple in a movie. They have a good relationship in private and often have dinner together as a group after filming.
But later Lian Ru married a wealthy businessman and they didn't have much contact anymore.
Lian Ru complained with a smile: "You never asked us out for dinner later."
Liu Jin also looked at her and smiled, his tough features softened in the firelight.
He said: "Because everyone has a family, they can't take care of each other."
Lian Ru still smiled: "You haven't started a family yet, have you?"
Liu Jin's smile was filled with helplessness: "But you are already married and have children."
Suddenly there was silence.
Qiao Yiyi called Xiong Ying and several other boys to play Werewolf.
Zong Chang felt a little uncomfortable when there were so many people around, so he squatted on the ground with Qu Xiaoqu and played chess with stones.
The audience in front of the screen were almost dying of laughter.
How did they turn a business competition variety show into a slow-paced rural variety show?
[Hahaha, Qiao Yiyi voted out the Prophet again. This is too much of a mob. She's really bad at playing around [dog head]. How did she win in Extreme Rush last time?]
[Zong Chang, look to the left. It's about to be conquered. It's over. What should I do if my husband's eyesight is not good...]
[Why do I feel like there's something strange between Lian Ru and Liu Jin? Is it my imagination?]
A group of people played at the beach until very late, and were finally urged by the staff of the program team to rest quickly because they had to get up early the next day.
Only then did Liu Jin take his men's gang members back.
After Liu Jin and the others left, Qiao Yiyi and her group planned to wash up and go to bed, but suddenly remembered that they had no basic bathing facilities!
Qiao Yiyi: “…”
They were careless. They were so busy preparing food in the afternoon that they completely forgot how to get basic living equipment!
She looked at the staff and tried to make a final effort: "Can't you really eliminate us?"
The staff member smiled professionally: "No."
