Chapter 35 Happy Kung Fu Noodles
Chen Xiaoqing didn't expect Chen Weiwei to say these things on the show. If what she said had no evidence, wouldn't it be slander?
But if she had no evidence, why would she say these things on the show?
Chen Xiaoqing's heart was pounding.
She knew something about what her mother did.
She has lived with her mother for so many years, and her mother always lets things slip. She is smart and never asks in depth, saving face for both herself and her mother.
Why did Chen Weiwei know something that she and her mother had never mentioned?
Unless, she really did investigate privately and found some evidence, so she dared to publicly criticize her on the show so brazenly.
Thinking of this, Chen Xiaoqing's hair stood on end. She didn't know what to do for a moment, so she could only pretend to faint and fainted from crying in front of the live camera.
The project leader quickly asked medical staff to send the person away.
After checking, the medical staff said, "It's nothing serious. It's just a sudden attack of qi and blood, causing a brief faint."
In fact, the medical staff knew that she was pretending, but because it was a live broadcast, they just gave her as a guest some face.
Chen Xiaoqing was sent back to her room to rest.
Tian Xincui stared at Chen Weiwei in astonishment and asked her, "Weiwei, are you really okay with saying these things on the show? Aren't you afraid of being cyberbullied and then getting bitten back?"
Chen Weiwei smiled calmly, "What are you afraid of? I have solid evidence."
In fact, Chen Weiwei had no evidence and she wanted to blow up the perpetrator of the crime.
In the original story, the mistress teamed up with her brother, a mechanic, to tamper with her mother's car.
The mistress did not have a good relationship with the mechanic's younger brother. In order to ask his sister for her request, the younger brother kept the evidence that his sister had instigated him to tamper with the brakes.
Apart from the two siblings, no one else knew about this matter. If Chen Weiwei hadn't read the original novel, she would still be kept in the dark.
She is now exposing this matter through the program and is not afraid of alerting the enemy.
On the contrary, if this matter gets bigger and bigger, it will definitely attract the attention of the mistress.
The mistress will definitely suspect that it was her brother who leaked the evidence to Chen Weiwei and will take revenge on her.
Once this matter becomes a big deal, the police will definitely investigate. After all, it is a celebrity incident and it has become such a big deal, the police cannot ignore it.
Even if the police don't care about this matter, Chen Weiwei can privately ask her agent to follow the clues and investigate.
As long as the mistress and the younger brother fight, the real evidence will definitely be revealed.
The program continues to record.
After this little episode involving Chen Xiaoqing, the barrage of comments in the live broadcast took a while to return to normal.
Just now, because the melodrama was so exciting, there were too many people posting barrages, causing the barrage system to temporarily crash, and many comments and barrages could not be posted.
Now things have returned to normal, with all sorts of barrage comments popping up.
The fans started to quarrel in the barrage:
"Wow, this is the biggest drama of the year, it's really exciting. So, can anyone tell me, is this real or fake, an act? A show script? A show effect?"
"This is a live broadcast. Even though Chen Weiwei is a movie queen, she can't be so terrible that she can act like this on a live broadcast, right? It's really scary."
"First, this is already a criminal case. Even if the production team is just trying to attract traffic, there's no way they're joking about this. Furthermore, someone of Chen Weiwei's stature knows her limits and wouldn't resort to such a thing as a drama."
"Leave it to the police. They'll investigate and make their own conclusions. But, isn't there anyone else like me who's a fan of Xue Qi?"
"I'm a fan of Xue 771. This Xue 77 is truly a treasure. While Chen Xiaoqing was still making fruit jellies and traditional dishes, he was already creating high-tech dishes! There's no harm without comparison. Once you compare, you're left with a clear verdict."
"So why did the production team invite Xue 77 and then Chen Xiaoqing? Compared to Xue 77, Chen Xiaoqing is like a newbie and a big shot!"
"If I say Xue 77 is prettier than Chen Xiaoqing, will anyone beat me up?"
"My Weiwei is so miserable. Her mother was killed by her mistress, and her father brought her mistress and her daughter into the house. Haha, I want to know who Weiwei's father is. He is really not worthy of being Weiwei's father. I'm vomiting."
"A mistress is not a good thing, Chen Xiaoqing is not a good thing either, such a greasy green tea bitch. Of course, I think Weiwei's father is not a good thing either!"
"Weiwei, why don't you check your father? I think he's involved in your mother's death. What a scumbag, such a scumbag! I'm sick of it."
"Chen Xiaoqing is miserable too! If this is true, not only will she lose her mother, but she will also be hated by her sister for the rest of her life. But what does this have to do with her? She knows nothing!"
"I also want to say that it's understandable that Chen Weiwei hates Chen Xiaoqing. But why do the audience hate Chen Xiaoqing? I don't know what she did wrong. Why do they hate Xiaoqing? She's also a victim! Why should she bear the consequences of her mother's wrongdoings?"
"Why can't the audience hate Chen Xiaoqing? Isn't it a reason to hate her mother for killing people?"
-
While netizens in the live broadcast room were still arguing with each other, everyone had already finished their lunch on the balcony of the B&B.
The on-site staff handed the guests a rule card and announced the opening rules of "Our Delicious Restaurant 3".
Their restaurant is two kilometers away from the B&B.
The restaurant building is very large and is divided into two areas: the Red Building and the Blue Building.
There are a total of 6 resident chef guests this time: 4 apprentices and 2 head chefs.
Xue Qi and Chen Xiaoqing are the head chefs, and they are responsible for taking two apprentices each.
The program director said, "Since our two head chefs are both renowned chefs in the food video industry, their expertise is unquestionable. The restaurant is divided into two main areas: the Red Building and the Blue Building. You will be divided into two groups to compete in selling food. The program will be recorded for a total of 66 days. During this period, we will change the recording location and restaurant location based on the program's performance. In the first episode, at the Island Restaurant, Group A, led by Xue Qi, will be responsible for the Red Zone, while Group B, led by Chen Xiaoqing, will be responsible for the Blue Zone."
After the show ends, the group that earns the most money will be declared the winner. The program team will multiply the winning group's revenue tenfold and donate it to anti-trafficking organizations. So, please keep working hard! The more money you earn, the more money our program team will donate to charity!
Tian Xin raised her hand crisply and asked, "Director, how are we going to divide the groups? I want to be with Sister Xue 77. I want to learn molecular cuisine. Is that okay?"
The director said: "The types of dishes cannot be decided by the chef. The style of dishes in each of your locations is determined by the program team. In fact, molecular cuisine is not suitable for our program team. After all, molecular cuisine is expensive, and our program team's restaurant takes the affordable route."
Tian Xincui looked disappointed: "Ah, so that's it, it looks like our village's signature dish is about to be put on the stage!"
Chen Yi asked, "I saw in the first two seasons that the chefs' daily expenses were restricted. Will there be any restrictions on expenses in this season?"
The director nodded. "Of course. We just discussed with the director that since you have two great talents, Xue 77 and Chen Xiaoqing, on this episode, your budget will be reduced by half. This is your budget for tomorrow, so spend it sparingly."
The director handed the red envelopes to the four apprentices.
After the four of them opened the red envelopes, they were stunned.
Chu Cheng has returned to normal by now. His "rustic and second-year" personality only lasted for thirty minutes after it came out.
He opened the red envelope containing cash and frowned: "Five hundred?"
Chen Weiwei opened the red envelope simultaneously: "Oh, five hundred for me too."
Tian Xincui said in surprise: "Me too!"
Everyone gave 500 yuan, and unsurprisingly, Chen Yi also received 500 yuan in red envelope.
The four of them have a total budget of two thousand, and each two people form a team, responsible for the red and blue restaurant areas respectively. In other words, the budget for each of their kitchens is only one thousand!
Chen Weiwei's eyes darkened. "A budget of one thousand per kitchen? What can they produce? How many guests can they entertain?"
Chu Cheng, the Heavenly King, leisurely drank the scented tea brewed by Xue Qi and said calmly, "There are fewer guests to entertain, so it's relatively easy. We open in the afternoon and close at six, which is good."
Tian Xincuicui: "Wow, so our mission this season is to come here for a vacation? I'm ready to be exhausted!"
Chen Yi: "You found a young and strong guy like me, but I just came here for vacation? I don't think it's that simple."
The director smiled and said, "Chen Yi guessed right. It's not that simple. Although each of your kitchens only has a daily budget of 1,000, your target sales is 10,000. If you fail to reach the target sales, your group will be punished. The audience will vote to eliminate the group, and other celebrities will be replaced. Of course, if you are voted out, our production team will not calculate the full remuneration. The remuneration will be based on the number of episodes you participated in."
Chen Weiwei and superstar Chu Cheng don't have to worry about this at all. After all, their traffic is there, and no matter how many votes are cast, they will not get any.
The most dangerous ones are the two masters Xue Qi and Chen Xiaoqing, as well as Tian Xincuicui and Chen Yi, whose foundation in the entertainment industry is not very stable.
When Tian Xincuicui heard about the salary deduction, she immediately exploded: "The contract says that even if the audience doesn't like the guest and the production team asks the guest to leave, all the compensation will be paid. Why did they change their mind after the show started? Why did they change it to an elimination system, and pay is based on the number of episodes recorded?"
Chen Yi also disliked this. Like Tian Xincuicui, he went on this show not only for the traffic, but also for the remuneration.
Because they were led by two big-name celebrities, Tianwang and Chen Weiwei, their remuneration was not much.
If we calculate it by period, if they are eliminated in the first period, wouldn’t there only be a few hundred thousand?
He and Tian Xincuicui belong to the same company. In order to participate in this variety show, they even rejected a web drama with higher pay. They must be unhappy with the program crew's behavior.
The director said, "It's written in the contract that the production team can temporarily adjust the rules. And it's clearly stated in the contract that only if the audience dislikes you and the production team interrupts filming, will the production team compensate the guests in full as a consolation. But if you were voted out because of the rules, you're not covered by this consolation protection."
Tian Xincui exploded on the spot: "Wow, you guys are such a jerk! How about I kill him and use my blood to dip the buns for your investors?"
The director consoled her, "This is the current rule. Be patient. If you feel something is wrong, your agent will talk to us after we come down. Your most important thing now is to record the show properly."
Chen Weiwei was also disgusted by the production crew's playful use of words: "Don't bully newcomers like this. Cuicui, Chen Yi, don't be afraid, just focus on recording the show. My legal team will be available to you later."
Tian Wang Chu Cheng also took out the demeanor of a store manager and said soothingly: "Since I am the store manager, then I will also help you fight for this contract issue. After it is resolved, my legal team will follow up."
With the endorsement of superstar Chu Cheng and Chen Weiwei, Tian Xincuicui and Chen Yi finally calmed down a lot.
And this rule is also directly related to Xue Qi's interests.
She didn't say a word the whole time because she was afraid that saying something wrong would backfire and affect her ability to make money.
After everyone quieted down, Xue Qi asked Chen Weiwei and Chu Cheng, "My agent seems to be having trouble. Can he help me out, too? We ordinary people, earning a little money is not easy, we can't get ripped off! We firmly resist unscrupulous capitalists! We firmly resist the practice of bleeding me to feed the capital! My blood is mine, not the capital's, so why should I feed the capital to feed it?"
Chen Weiwei was amused by Xue Qi: "Of course."
Because of this sudden rule, Tian Xincuicui and Chen Yi both felt a sense of crisis.
Although they knew that this might just be a hype point by the program team, in the end even if they were voted out, the program team would pay them full remuneration.
However, this program has a large amount of traffic, and there is a big difference between being able to participate in the entire program and only being able to participate in one or two programs.
Superstar Chu Cheng rarely appears on variety shows. Which little star doesn’t want to take advantage of this big guy’s traffic?
Therefore, neither of them wanted to be eliminated and they preferred Xue Qi who had performed well just now.
Live barrage:
"The production team is such a jerk! Crispy Sister came here to promote a big project, and now this is what happens? Damn!"
"I'm already mad! Kill me too! Use my blood to dip the steamed buns for the production team!"
"Xue 77, are you here to make fun of me? You didn't say a word the whole time, and all you care about is your own little money?"
"Xue 77 is so funny, hahahaha, this sister is kind of cute! Small money is as important as one's own blood! My blood is controlled by me, not by capital, so why should I let capital dip my blood into steamed buns?"
"Hahahahahaha, I was really angry at first, but when I heard Xue 77 say, 'My blood is controlled by me, not by capital, so why should I let capital dip my steamed buns in it?' I burst out laughing. 7 is cute, are you here to cure my unhappiness?"
…
Judging from the lunch, Xue Qi is more capable than Chen Xiaoqing, and the characteristics of the dishes are also unexpected. Everyone wants to follow her.
But the production team was unkind and said, "We'll draw lots to decide who the apprentice will follow. Chu Cheng and Chen Weiwei will draw first. You two can't be in the same group."
Chen Weiwei and Chu Cheng looked at each other, understood each other tacitly, and took the lottery slips handed over by the program team.
Chu Cheng was assigned to Chen Xiaoqing's group, while Chen Weiwei was assigned to Xue Qi's group.
Next, Chen Yi was assigned to Chen Xiaoqing's group, and Tian Xincuicui was assigned to Xue Qi's group.
Chen Yi looked lost.
Chu Cheng patted his shoulder and said soothingly, "Think positively. Maybe Boss Xue is just good at molecular gastronomy. Now that each of our teams has the same funding, their team may not be our opponent."
Chen Yi thought so too. After all, Chen Xiaoqing was the number one food broadcaster on Douyin. The fact that she could attract so much traffic and had almost no negative reviews showed that her skills were quite solid.
With equal funding and similar cuisine styles, their group may not necessarily fail to achieve its target turnover.
What's more, their group has the top-tier superstar Chu Cheng. Even if it depends on the superstar's traffic in Aquaman, as long as the food is not bad, they will not fail to achieve the target sales.
Barrage:
"With this lineup, I think Xue Qi has the disadvantage. Chen Weiwei may be a top-tier actress in China, but overseas, Chu Tianwang definitely has the upper hand! On an island like this, more people must know Chu Tianwang. Even though Chen Xiaoqing's lunch performance wasn't as good as Xue Qi's, she's still a food influencer, so her cooking skills shouldn't be bad. With her cooking skills and Chu Tianwang's popularity, I think she'll win."
"Indeed. Perhaps neither party realizes how difficult it is to achieve a profit of 10,000 yuan per day with a startup capital of 1,000 yuan. I've lived on this island before, and pork and beef are very expensive here. This island isn't a tourist destination, so there are very few tourists. The seafood is pretty common, and the locals don't really like it."
"If they were cooking Chinese food, they could only make ten stir-fries with 500 yuan worth of meat, and 50-100 plates of vegetables at most. They charge 58 yuan for a plate of meat, so the total is only 580 yuan. They charge 28 yuan for a vegetable dish, so the maximum is 3,000 yuan. They can't even reach half of the 10,000 yuan turnover..."
"This... is really difficult. Are we going to make them perform on the streets to earn money to buy food?"
"The island people are not stupid and rich."
"The rules of this show are really interesting. I'm actually curious to see how they achieve their sales target! So fun!"
-
Around six o'clock in the afternoon, Chu Cheng and Chen Yi discussed tomorrow's menu and how to buy groceries on the balcony.
At this time, Chen Xiaoqing walked in.
She was wearing loose casual clothes, a cute bunny headband, her hair was disheveled, and she looked haggard.
Chen Xiaoqing said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I'm late."
"Not too late, not too late. You've arrived just in time." Chen Yi handed her the order and said, "You should know the rules. On the island, we can only serve Chinese food, not Western food."
"Cooking Chinese food?"
Chen Xiaoqing subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
Because of Xue Qi's molecular cuisine, all the guests now think she is better than themselves.
If she competes in Chinese food, she will definitely not be worse than Xue Qi.
Chen Xiaoqing nodded: "Okay, then let's decide on the menu."
As she spoke, she glanced at Chu Cheng.
Although the voice of Gold Finger 001 no longer existed in her mind, she knew from reading the original novel that Chu Cheng had multiple personalities.
The first personality is the Melancholy Prince, who is full of talent. He is closer to the main personality, but more talented than the main personality.
The second personality is a cheerful little sun, a fresh-faced young man with central air conditioning.
The third personality is a fifteenth-degree sad boy who spouts cheesy, middle school, and sad youth quotes. This personality is a foodie and a love-brained person.
The other two personalities can only be revealed through singing.
But the third personality can be seduced out as long as there is delicious food.
However, this third personality was only brought out once when Chu Cheng was 18 years old and was attracted by delicious food. But today, for some reason, his third personality was actually brought out by Xue Qi's cooking.
Chen Xiaoqing knew that once her mother's murder was exposed, more and more fans would hate her, and she would no longer be able to receive help from Chen's father's resources, nor would she be able to take advantage of Chen Weiwei's traffic.
In addition, there was a problem with Golden Finger 001, and she now felt a strong sense of crisis. She had to find a way to find a good man and marry her while she was still young and beautiful.
Chu Cheng's third personality is her target.
She planned to seduce Chu Cheng's third personality, then make him delicious food and make this personality fall in love with her.
Because she had read the original story, she knew how easy it was to conquer the third personality.
When Chu Cheng was 18 years old, he was a resident singer in a bar and met a girl who worked there.
The wontons made by that girl were amazing. After Chu Cheng ate the wontons made by that girl, his third personality was drawn out.
The foodie third personality fell in love with a girl because of wontons and made a big mistake.
A year later, the girl gave birth to a son for 19-year-old Chu Cheng, but died of cancer a few years later.
Chu Cheng is very talented. He just wants to be a free man, to be at home anywhere and to sing everywhere.
But in order to support his son, he was forced to settle down and had no choice but to accept the agency contract.
Chu Cheng reached the peak of his career as soon as he debuted. His temperament as a melancholic prince was loved by girls. In addition, he was indeed talented. Every love song he sang could make people cry. He was popular from the age of 20 to 34.
So many years have passed and his son has grown up, but his appearance has not changed. When standing next to his son, he might even be mistaken for a brother.
Chen Xiaoqing is 21 years old this year and she doesn't mind being someone's stepmother.
As long as I can marry King Chu, what does being a stepmother matter?
As long as she has money, fame and support, she can even tolerate any online violence.
Just as Chen Xiaoqing was thinking about this, the mechanical voice appeared in her mind again, but this time it was not the voice of Gold Finger 001.
[The Lord God's destruction program has been initiated, processing Gold Finger 001...]
[Since the host, Chen Xiaoqing, used the negative mark of Gold Finger 001, he will also be punished.]
[Mother is in jail, kicked out by Chen's father. During the show, you can only tell the truth and not lies. Every time you tell a lie, your Dark Cooking skill increases by 10.]
Chen Xiaoqing: “???”
She could accept the first two, but she couldn't lie. How could she play the victim? How could she continue to appear on the show?
Because Chen Xiaoqing was not bound to the golden finger for a long time, the damage to Chen Weiwei was not great, and she did not make a deal with the golden finger 001, so the punishment was relatively light.
But Gold Finger 001 was not so lucky.
All of Golden Finger 001's points were deducted, and its soul was suffering from endless electric shocks in the main god's space station, causing it great pain.
After it suffered enough pain, the main god system destroyed it.
Gold Finger 001 toiled in multiple worlds for over a hundred years, but ultimately met with a miserable death.
When Gold Finger 002 next door heard about this, he was worried.
Fortunately, the male protagonist Yan Zhang, to whom it has been bound recently, is quite cautious and will never take action without certainty.
Now it no longer expects the male protagonist Yan Zhang to take action. It only hopes to survive and hopes that the male protagonist Yan Zhang will grow up before taking action.
It doesn't want to end up like Goldfinger 001.
-
On the other side, on the dining table in the B&B lobby.
Xue Qi, Chen Weiwei and Tian Xincuicui were also discussing tomorrow's menu.
Chen Weiwei kept pulling at her hair, nearly pulling it out bald. "With this thousand yuan, I don't think we can make ten thousand, no matter how we decide on the recipe. I'm confident in my traffic, but I'm not famous enough for people living on small islands overseas to recognize me. I think Chu Tianwang and his group have the upper hand."
Tian Xin put her hands on her face and said, "That's impossible. A plate of fried meat is priced at fifty or sixty. No one will buy it."
Xue Qi carefully calculated the account and said:
"Don't be so discouraged, I think it's possible. I went for a walk this afternoon and talked to some nearby residents. This island is mostly populated by fishermen. Thanks to their geographical location and their country's favorable poverty alleviation policies, the average income for fishermen here is quite good. However, there aren't many good restaurants. So, if we go high-end, price each dish around 100 yuan, and serve 100 people a day, it's not impossible."
Chen Weiwei thought she had misheard. "What? 100 people? Are you crazy, or am I? And the price is around 100? Not to mention this is an island, even in the imperial capital, a Chinese meal costing 100 yuan per person is considered high. So, tell me, what dishes should we order?"
Xue Qi: "Stir-frying is definitely not an option. It wastes a lot of oil, seasonings, and ingredients. I plan to make noodles. We can make wonton noodles, Lanzhou ramen, fried noodles, and臊子面... The main ingredients for noodles are very cheap. A handful of noodles costs only a few yuan, and it can feed 10 or 20 people. There's no need to add too many side dishes. A bowl of noodles with a spoonful of meat is already hearty enough."
Tian Xincuicui felt cheated after hearing this: "A bowl of noodles for a hundred yuan? Ah, Sister Xue 77, who's going to eat it? Why do I feel like you're more of a vampire capitalist than the program crew? Besides, Sister Weiwei and I don't know how to make noodles. It's okay to make ready-made noodles, but if we make handmade noodles, Sister Weiwei and I may not be able to learn it even after the show..."
Chen Weiwei nodded: "Yes, instead of letting us learn to make ramen, why not let us go to the streets to perform..."
Xue Qi said, "You don't need to know how to make ramen. One of you can help me wash and pick the vegetables, and the other can help me wash the dishes. However, I'm responsible for making noodles every day, which is so hard work. Can we make a deal? Sell 11,000 a day. Once we break even, we can close the shop and go back to the dormitory to relax. Is that okay?"
It's just a show, just complete the task, there's no need to be too tired.
If there are enough customers, she can sell a hundred servings of high-priced noodles in the morning, and then she can rest in the afternoon.
You have to be a little relaxed in this program. The island is so beautiful, and you can also treat it as a travel program to relax.
Xianyu Xue Qi finalized the menu with everyone, and happily went upstairs to put on a facial mask and go to bed, leaving Chen Weiwei and Tian Xincuicui feeling sad.
Xue Qi felt that selling 100 copies a day was too easy and too boring.
But netizens in the barrage felt that Xue Qi was too scary! Too curly!
Chen Weiwei and Tian Xincuicui felt that it was impossible to make 100 servings of noodles a day, and it was even more impossible to sell one serving for 100 yuan!
"Holy crap? Selling a hundred servings of noodles a day? A hundred yuan per serving? Xue 77, you're just like me! Who are you trying to kill?"
"She sells noodles and wants to get off work early? She works from 8am to 9pm, so it's good enough if she doesn't go home in the early morning, right?"
"Legend has it that Xue 77 is the King of Scrolls! I've figured it out!"
"Hahahaha, Chen Weiwei and Tian Xincuicui are already crying!"
Tian Xincuicui really started crying, lying on the table and said weakly, "We sell noodles, so we can't get off work before 10 o'clock at night, right? How can we get off work early?"
Chen Weiwei looked towards the kitchen.
At this moment, Chu Cheng and Chen Yi were already learning how to cook from Chen Xiaoqing.
Tian Xin asked Chen Weiwei crisply, "Sister Weiwei, what should we do now? Should we go back to sleep? But Group B is still in the kitchen learning to cook. Is it really okay for us to go to sleep?"
Before Chen Weiwei could say anything, she received a WeChat message from Xue Qi.
【Xue 77】: "Oh, I forgot to tell you, since we're selling noodles, we have to get up early, especially tomorrow. We have to get up early. Is 7 o'clock a problem? If you and Cui Cui think it's too early, we can postpone it a little bit, but this may cause us to get off work later. _(:3」∠)_"
Chen Weiwei wondered if getting up at seven o'clock was too late?
But then they thought, it would be impossible for them to achieve a turnover of 11,000 yuan according to the menu set by Xue Qi.
She simply put down her phone and said to Tian Xincuicui, "Don't worry, if you get kicked out, I'll ask my lawyers to fight for your full compensation!"
Tian Xin burst into tears on the spot: "Sister, although I know you are not cursing me, it makes me feel a little sad. In order to come to this show, I turned down a web drama with a very popular original IP. If I go back after the first episode, even if I can get all the money, it will be... After all, I came here to take advantage of the popularity of you and the king."
Chen Weiwei quickly coaxed her in a low voice:
"Don't be upset. At worst, I can bring you into the next production! Others bring in funding, but I'll bring you in! I'm the funding myself. I'll play the villainous and vicious female supporting role, and you can play the cute female lead, okay?"
Barrage netizens:
"Holy crap!! Weiwei is so awesome! Others bring in money, but she brings Cuicui in!"
"Holy crap! I'm hooked on this couple! Weiwei is a capital herself, she'd rather play the villainous female supporting role than support Cui Cui!! What kind of divine capital sister is this!"
"Ahhh! I'm into it! I came here for King Chu, but I fell in love with the three golden flowers! I'm into Weiwei and Cuicui!"
"Fuck, Weiwei's investing in a drama herself. If I'm not mistaken, it should be 'Just Be the Demon Lord's White Moonlight,' right? Because the original heroine is a cute little girl who's loved by everyone, and Weiwei no longer has that childish aura, so she plans to play the villainous female supporting role herself. As for the female lead, she's still in the process of choosing. Did she pick Tian Xincuicui?"
"What's the point of being cute? It's very useful! If you sell yourself badly on a show, you can immediately get the role of the heroine of a big IP! Ahhhh! The crispy girl is really the cutest!"
…
In order to cheer the little girl up, Chen Weiwei briefly talked to her about her views on the drama.
It was already nine o'clock when they finished chatting. Chen Weiwei said, "Okay, Cui Cui, go upstairs and get some rest. We have to get up early tomorrow morning."
Tian Xincuicui was very happy, thinking that Chen Weiwei would not lie to him in front of so many people, so he went upstairs happily to sleep.
Before going upstairs, Chen Weiwei went to the kitchen to pour herself a glass of water.
The kitchen was bustling with activity, and Chu Cheng and Chen Yi were still learning how to cook.
She asked, "What time will you open tomorrow?"
Chen Yi replied: "I get up at 4:30 to buy groceries and open the shop at 6!"
Chen Weiwei almost choked on her water: "..."
Okay.
It's outrageous.
She felt like a salted fish that couldn't turn over, and Xue 77 had obviously exerted too much strength in the early stages and didn't have enough energy left in the later stages.
Chen Yi asked her, "What about you? I see you haven't practiced cooking yet. Are you planning to get up in the early morning to practice?"
Chen Weiwei took a sip of water and said calmly, "No, our teacher Xue asked us to go to bed early and get up at seven o'clock tomorrow to go to work."
Chu Cheng thought it was outrageous: "Get up at seven? Don't you want to complete your goal?"
Chen Yi thought it was even more outrageous, and all his words turned into one word: "Awesome!"
Chen Weiwei left with a feeling of defeat. Chen Xiaoqing keenly noticed her emotions and gloated over her misfortune.
It seems that Xue Qi has brought the lazy style he used when running his own shop here.
Does she think it's the same here as in China?
This is not China, and we don’t recognize internet celebrity restaurants. Besides, it’s only the first day, and the restaurant hasn’t become famous yet. How could anyone come to eat here?
This Xue Qi is really a wild idea.
When the people in the live broadcast room saw this, they also began to feel that Xue Qi lacked team spirit.
"There's no harm without comparison. They woke up at 4:30 and are still practicing right now. And what about Xue 77? He actually let everyone go to bed before 8 o'clock, and even asked them to sleep until 7 o'clock tomorrow morning! Absolutely amazing."
"I don't understand Xue 77's operation either. I feel like she was a bit too aggressive in the early stages and a bit lacking in stamina in the later stages."
"Ahhh poor Crunchy, he's definitely going to be eliminated, after all, Crunchy has a lot of haters!"
"Don't worry, everyone, think positively. Cui Cui got the female lead role from Chen Weiwei because of this show, which is a good thing. It's a blessing in disguise."
"Hey, I don't know why, but the good impression I just had of Xue 77 is a little...losing."
"How fast the top is, how fast the bottom is."
"Down 1"
…
At this moment, Xue Qi had already washed up and lay down.
Cheng Kai walked out of the filming area and watched the live broadcast, and happened to see the comments in the live broadcast that netizens were saying were insulting to Xue Qi.
Cheng Kai put his phone back in his pocket and immediately walked towards the B&B.
Xue Qi was currently lying by the infinity pool on the second floor, applying a facial mask. Cheng Kai stood outside the live camera, gestured to her, and even wrote a nameplate for her.
Those nameplates together form a sentence:
—Stop it, ancestor! Netizens are scolding you, you know? Please, just be a character that the audience likes!
Xue Qi calmly patted the mask off her cheeks, not taking it seriously.
Go ahead and scold her, anyway, she was paid to do her job, and as long as she achieves her goal, she will just be left alone!
Don’t try too hard, or you’ll be caught and forced to be the heroine.
Cheng Kai felt a bit like he was having a myocardial infarction, thinking that Xue Qi would definitely be the one who was subjected to all kinds of cyberbullying when participating in the show this time!
I hope she won’t get upset when she sees the trending searches.

The next morning, King Chu Cheng's group went out to buy groceries.
Only after they finished buying groceries and arrived at the restaurant did Xue Qi and his friends set off from the B&B.
Xue Qi rode a tricycle, carrying Tian Xincuicui and Chen Weiwei to the nearby grain and oil market, bought a few bags of flour, a few bags of ready-made noodles, as well as some cheap seafood, pork and vegetables, and returned to the restaurant.
They bought more seafood and relatively less pork and vegetables.
Tian Xincuicui and Chen Weiwei had to work together to carry a bag of flour into the kitchen.
Xue Qi simply carried the flour on his shoulders and easily moved it back to the kitchen.
Chen Weiwei and Tian Xincuicui were shocked by Xue Qi's "infinite strength".
Netizens in the live broadcast room even thought that Xue Qi's strength was simply exaggerated! At first glance, he was a person who worked frequently!
After the rice, flour, grain, and oil were all brought into the kitchen, Xue Qi began to knead the dough. At the same time, he instructed Chen Weiwei and Tian Xincuicui, "Weiwei, Cuicui, help me set up a pot in the park by the beach, and move the gas tank from the kitchen over there. I have some hand-painted flyers in my backpack, help me put them up in the park. I'll come find you after I finish kneading the dough and making the wontons."
Since it was a live broadcast, there were no cameras in the guests' bedrooms.
After Xue Qi returned to his room last night, he hand-drew some flyers, perfectly putting into practice the English slogans he had learned with the staff in the afternoon.
Chen Weiwei took a look at the flyers and had to say that every picture of noodles on the flyer was very tempting. Although they were cartoons, it did not affect the appetite.
Chen Weiwei looked at her with admiration: "Not bad, 77, you're doing great things quietly. I suddenly have confidence in you!"
Tian Xincuicui has already accepted the outcome of failure, so she is calm at the moment. She will do whatever Xue Qi asks her to do seriously.
Around eleven o'clock, Xue Qi carried a thousand wontons, dough as big as a bathtub, and some seafood sauce to the beach.
Her noodle stall is located at the entrance of the park. Today happens to be the weekend, and many people bring their families out to visit the park at this time.
In addition, Xue Qi’s flyer said that Chinese food could be tasted for free, and soon, fifty or sixty elderly people gathered in front of the noodle stall.
No matter which country the elderly are from, they can’t resist the temptation of free things!
Xue Qi was very smart. He only gave each person a chopstick of noodles and a wonton, plus a little noodle soup.
The noodle soup is made from broth that Xue Qi has simmered for several hours, and is added with her special secret recipe, making it particularly fragrant.
Her wontons, filled with seafood, were barely the size of a little finger, and were springy and refreshing. A sip of the noodle soup, and the wonderful flavor warmed my heart with an inexplicable sense of happiness.
The people who received the free food were all impressed by Xue Qi’s delicious food and clamored to buy a bowl of the real thing!
Xue Qi immediately asked Chen Weiwei to translate the selling points into English.
Chen Weiwei followed Xue Qi's instructions and translated into English, "Everyone, today's our grand opening! Big discount! For anyone who comes to eat noodles, the seafood noodles, originally priced at 120 yuan, are now 99 yuan! Don't miss it if you're passing by! Of course, those who buy noodles on the beach can also enjoy the 99 yuan discount!"
Everyone raised their hands and said:
"I'll have a bowl of wontons! They're so delicious! I don't know what kind of meat is in them, but they taste so good. And this soup, even though I only took a sip, it made me really hungry!"
"This handmade ramen is really good. It's as thin as silk, but surprisingly not soft in the mouth. It has a chewy texture, and the aftertaste has a mellow aroma of egg. It's really delicious!"
"I haven't tried Chinese food yet! These noodles and wontons are really good! 99 is worth it! Buy it!"
"This girl makes noodles so fast! The way she tosses the noodles is like a magic trick!"
"Oh, don't you know? Every Chinese person knows martial arts! This is a kind of martial arts!"
"Ah, this is Chinese Kung Fu! I want to buy some just to see it with my own eyes!"
There were eighty people queuing up for the free samples, and fifty people paid full price for them!
The handmade noodles and wontons that Xue Qi brought out were sold out quickly, and he asked Chen Weiwei and Cui Cui to go back and get the finished noodles.
The finished noodles didn't sell as well as the handmade noodles, but we still sold twenty servings.
By around four in the afternoon, Xue Qi and his team had already sold seventy copies.
Xue Qi and his friends returned to the store to continue selling. With the fame they gained at noon and the restaurant's own traffic, it shouldn't be a problem to sell another thirty or forty servings.
As a result, as soon as they arrived at the store door, they found that there were already more than a dozen people waiting in their dining area. They were all people who had just received notifications from their relatives and friends to come and eat Hua Guo Kung Fu Noodles!
The diners sat in the restaurant and cried for food, saying:
"Please show us Chinese Kung Fu! Thank you!"
"As long as you can show us some Chinese Kung Fu, I'll eat two servings!"
"I'll give you three! Boss, we know you're a Chinese Kung Fu master, please show us!"
Chen Weiwei hurried to collect the diners' orders.
After recording this, she was almost scared to death. She returned to Xue Qi and whispered, "77, there are more than a dozen of them, and each person ordered two servings. You're right, we can leave work early."
The other side.
Chen Xiaoqing took the superstar Chu Cheng and Chen Yi to perform on the streets, and finally earned a few thousand yuan. With this money, they bought enough food.
But they wasted too much time performing on the streets, and by four in the afternoon, they had only earned 4,000 yuan.
Chen Xiaoqing wanted to ask the king Chu Cheng to go out and attract some customers, but when she turned around, she found that the king was gone!
She asked Chen Yi: "Where is Chu Cheng?"
Chen Yi swatted the fly with a fly swatter: "I'm going to watch Chinese Kung Fu next door."
Chen Xiaoqing: "Ah?"
She immediately went to look for Chu Cheng next door, only to see Chu Cheng and a group of islanders watching Xue Qi making ramen!
Chen Xiaoqing was furious.
Chen Yi said to her, "I heard they have completed their mission. What should we do now?"
Chen Xiaoqing gritted her teeth secretly.
Why didn't she think that making noodles could reduce costs?
What else could he do? Of course he copied Xue Qi’s noodle making skills!
Of course, she couldn't directly say that she was going to copy Xue Qi, so she said tactfully, "Ah, Sister 77 gave me some inspiration. We can also sell noodles."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xue Qi, who was putting noodles into the pot, looked up and saw Chen Xiaoqing standing at the door, with a progress bar appearing above her head.
——Chen Xiaoqing tells a lie once, and her dark cooking skill increases by 15.
Xue Qi exclaimed, "What a great guy."
Chen Xiaoqing, who lost the golden finger 001, was forcibly given the dark cooking skills?
Suddenly I’m looking forward to Haruharu’s dark cuisine!
Six o'clock.
Xue Qi's team successfully completed the task, and Tian Xin cheered happily: "Ahhhhh, we did it! We actually completed the task! I can't believe it! Sister 77, you are the best!"
Chen Weiwei also felt a little confused: "Oh my god, I actually doubted your professional ability yesterday? I am guilty."
Just then, the production team handed them another letter, saying, "Three ladies, these are the guests and waiters your group will be receiving tomorrow. You will need to cook according to the guests' tastes and train two waiters. Starting tomorrow, you will also have to pay an extra fee to pay the waiters."
Chen Weiwei almost swore, "Are you crazy? We only have a thousand yuan in initial funding, and you're asking us to pay the waiters? How about I kill him, let some blood drain, and use it as a dip for the show's sponsors' steamed buns?"
Staff: "Sister Weiwei, please calm down."
Xue Qi opened the list of guests and waiters: "Guest: Sun Fugui. Waiters: Sun Shaoqi, Chu Xing."
Chen Weiwei exploded: "Who?"
Xue Qi repeated: "Sun Fugui, Sun Shaoqi woke up."
Chen Weiwei: "Fuck, my enemy!"
Xue Qi was puzzled: "Huh?"
Chen Weiwei avoided the live broadcast and whispered in Xue Qi's ear, "He's a friend of mine. I don't know if it's not okay, but he often asks me to accompany him to a hotel room for filming. After we get a room, we play poker with his assistant. It's terrible. Why would he come?"
Xue Qi: "Ah, so he really can't..."
Tian Xin crisply reminded, "Two sisters, your microphones are not turned off..."
Xue Qi: “…”
Chen Weiwei: “…”
Sun Fugui didn't watch the live broadcast. At this time, he had already arrived on the island and was staying in the hotel with his son.
He saw his son watching the live broadcast and moved his face closer.
However, before he could see the subtitles clearly, Sun Shaoqi covered the screen.
Sun Fugui was puzzled: "What did Xue Qi say about me?"
Sun Shaoqi: "He said your ability to pursue girls is not good enough, which is debatable."
Sun Fugui exploded: "I'm not good at chasing girls? Ha, wait, I want to get her before this show ends! Son, just wait and see, your dad is very charming, and two women are jealous of me."
Sun Shaoqi: “…”
I couldn't bear to tell my dad the truth.
Let him be happy for a few more days.
Online, several trending searches quickly entered the top ten.
Chen Weiwei said Sun Fugui is not good enough!
I’m shipping Chen Weiwei and Cui Cui CP!
