The male host took out four sealed food boxes and distributed them to the chefs: "Inside the food boxes are the assistant badges. Chefs, open the lids and pin the badges on your chef uniforms, and you will have a capable assistant~"
The chefs opened their food boxes one after another and showed everyone their assistant name tags. These name tags had Q-version figures of the guests on them, which accurately depicted the guests’ features, making them cute and easy to recognize.
The chefs and guests all knew what was going on when they saw these little guys - except Chef Liu.
Chef Liu looked at the bald little monk in his hand, then looked at the guests, his expression was very confused and he had no idea at all.
The female host didn't notice his confusion and continued the cue process: "Now, please ask the assistants to go to the corresponding chefs according to the instructions on the name tags."
Shi Xi walked up to Chef Liu and smiled at him: "Please take care of me."
When Chef Liu saw Shi Xi, he raised the bald man in his hand in shock and couldn't help but ask, "This is you? Your hair..."
Shi Xi pointed at the bald man and explained, "This is my look in the movie. I played the role of Wu Chen, the Buddhist disciple, in Phantom of the Opera."
Hearing the name of the movie, Chef Liu had some impression: "Is it the movie that Niannian is filming? What a coincidence, she was also my partner when she came to play last time, and she did mention your name on the show."
Shi Xi smiled and nodded.
"Your image on and off the screen is so different," Chef Liu glanced at the camera and asked quietly, "Your wig looks so natural. Can you recommend a brand to me after the recording is over?"
“……”Actually, this is real hair, but Shi Xi has indeed reviewed a good wig brand.
"No problem." She looked at Chef Liu sympathetically. It seemed that he also had the problem of hair loss.
[It's so funny, Chef Liu doesn't dare to recognize himself. Is the production team trying to stir up trouble by giving Xiaoshi this Buddhist badge? ]
[Program team: We are helping Teacher Xiao to promote the movie~]
[Chef Liu’s mental journey: It’s you! — Has your hair grown out? — Please share the link to your wig (please).]
[Other partners are exchanging cooking skills, but this pair is exchanging wig brands? ]
[The host thought: Teacher Xiaoshi brought the sunset and romance into the cafeteria. In fact: Teacher Xiaoshi brought sand sculptures into the kitchen.]
After the guests and the chef got to know each other, the hostess began to introduce the amateur guests: "These five are the guests of the farm B&B and the experience officers of the canteen this evening. Their choices will determine the 'best partner' tonight."
The male host said: "Several experience officers please tell us about your likes and dislikes. This will become the basis for our chefs and assistants to decide the menu. Each pair of partners needs to serve at least four dishes. It should be noted that the assistants have to prepare one dish independently."
The female host smiled and said, "Let me give you an example. I personally like Western food very much, especially steak, and I want it medium rare."
The male host high-fived her and cleared his throat: "I like to eat pasta. I wonder if anyone has the same taste as me."
The amateur guests burst into laughter.
"Are the two hosts hinting that we should add more food?"
"I started to feel hungry when I heard the name of the dish, and I couldn't wait to eat."
The amateur guests spoke about their likes and dislikes in turn, and at the end everyone specifically mentioned that they "like to eat steak and pasta", deliberately teasing the two hosts.
The male host laughed: "Next is the menu planning phase. Now the pressure is on the chef and the assistants~"
The female host reminded: "After deciding on the menu, you need to race against time to go to the farm to find ingredients. It will be more difficult to obtain ingredients after dark."
Male host: "Well, now please ask the assistants to get your blackboards and work with the chef to make the menu!"
After the host announced the start, the three guests rushed to get the mobile blackboard. Shi Xi walked slowly at the back, seemingly not caring about time at all.
After receiving the small blackboards, other groups began to actively discuss the menu.
"We still start with the preferences of the experience officers and cook the dishes they like to eat," Bai Man, who is experienced, first asked the chef who worked with her: "What seasonal ingredients are available on the farm now?"
Jiang Xingmian and his chef were both relatively quiet. They discussed in low voices and wrote and drew on the blackboard while they were discussing. Their presence was not very strong.
Guan Xing did not discuss with the chef at all and made a unilateral decision: "The host mentioned steak and pasta right from the start, and has positioned this episode as Western food. We will make high-end Western food."
The camera turned to Shi Xi, who said to Chef Liu, "We are partners, so I need to know your thoughts. Do you value winning or losing or the experience?"
Chef Liu looked at her hair with envy in his eyes: "Winning or losing doesn't matter. I care more about the brand of wig now."
Shi Xi couldn't help laughing: "Okay, I'm here just for fun this time, and now we have the same goal. Since someone has taken care of the tastes of the experience officers, let's make something we like. What cuisine are you best at?"
"I'm an all-rounder, but Cantonese cuisine is my best." Chef Liu sighed regretfully, "It's a pity that I've been cooking Western food and innovative dishes in the past few episodes, and I haven't had the chance to cook classic Cantonese dishes."
"Now you have a chance. I love Cantonese cuisine," Shi Xi flexibly turned the chalk in his hand, "You don't have to think about anything else. Just come up with three of your signature dishes. I'll get you whatever ingredients you need."
"It's better to have meat." Shi Xi added.
Chef Liu thought for a moment, then picked up the chalk and wrote down the names of several dishes on the blackboard: "How do you like these dishes?"
Shi Xi took a look and saw the following written on the blackboard: scallion chicken, steamed prawns with vermicelli and garlic sauce, steamed fish and blanched lettuce.
Shi Xi looked hungry. She gave Chef Liu a thumbs up and said, "These are all my favorites."
"To be honest, I love these dishes, too," Chef Liu said with a smile that showed his teeth, "There are fish and shrimp in the fish pond on the farm, but it's not easy to catch them. If you don't want to go into the water, we can change the menu."
"No need to change," Shi Xi said, "Just give me a list of ingredients."
Chef Liu began to make a list and instructed, "I guess you can't tell the types of fish apart, just catch whatever you can. I hope it's fatter."
"Teacher Xiaoshi, I'll leave first!" Bai Man waved the list of ingredients in her hand to Shi Xi, and went to the tool room next door to choose tools.
"She got there first!" Guan Xing urged his partner, the chef, anxiously, "Write faster! I can't lose!"
The chef was sweating from being urged by him, and he wrote on the paper quickly: "Right away, right away."
On the other side, Shi Xi picked up a bottle of juice sponsored by the sponsor and drank it leisurely, and reminded Chef Liu: "Don't be in a hurry, write the strokes clearly."
By the time Chef Liu finished making the list, the other guests had already left the kitchen, but Shi Xi was still unhurried, and left with the unfinished juice in his hand.
[Other people's menus are all about what the experience officer and the host like to eat, but Shi Xi's menu is all about what she and the chef like to eat? ]
[She really is an experientialist, she comes here just for fun, this is the meaning of a farming and food variety show, the chefs who can partner with her are so lucky.]
[Don’t speak too soon. Old fans of this variety show are telling you, don’t think farming is too good. With her menu, she has to go to the fish pond and catch chickens. If she takes her time like this, she may not even be able to get the ingredients... Chef Liu will probably cry by then.]
[Indeed, even if we get the ingredients, we won't have time to cook. Won't we be in a rush when the time comes? I appreciate the initiative of other groups, especially Guan Xing.]
[Shi Xi is such a bad player, I think she is doomed to fail.]
[The other groups are very active, but I also like Shi Xi's free and immersive play style. To be honest, just because she doesn't care about winning or losing doesn't mean she will definitely lose.]
[To be honest, if I were to attend, I would also like to cook my favorite food. ]
Shi Xi came to the tool room, and the farm owner Shu Ge handed her a hand-drawn map of the farm and introduced it to her: "You can take any tools here, and you can take any ingredients from the farm. In addition to the ingredients needed for cooking, you can also pick your favorite fruits and vegetables and take them home to eat after recording the show."
Zhang Qingyu appeared in front of Shi Xi and said excitedly: "Junior sister, junior sister, let's go pick tomatoes!"
"No problem." Shi Xi nodded to Zhang Qingyu and thanked Brother Shu.
Brother Shu has a cheerful personality. Seeing that Shixi looks gentle and probably has little experience in farm work, he offers to help her look at the list of ingredients.
Shi Xi handed over the list, and Shu Ge said after reading it, "I suggest you go to the fish pond first. It's not safe to go in the water after dark. It's only a few minutes away by sightseeing bus. There is a small tool room next to the fish pond. There are fishing tools and waterproof overalls for going into the water."
"Okay." Shi Xi took a pen and circled several destinations on the map, planning the most efficient route.
Brother Shu pointed to the wall and said, "Take a small basket and a small sickle with you. After you catch the fish and shrimp, you can go directly to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables. Pick whatever you like. Don't be polite."
"Then I won't be polite with you." Shi Xi picked up the largest backpack.
Brother Shu laughed and said proudly, "I'm not being polite. The more you pick, the happier I am. This is a recognition of me and the farm. If you can fill this basket, I will give you a free year-round farm tour experience ticket. You are welcome to come pick vegetables anytime, anywhere!"
Shi Xi raised an eyebrow: "I'll try my best."
This basket is really small.
【I am jealous, I am jealous. 】
[It's too heavy to carry if it's full, right? In every episode, Shu Ge says you can pick whatever you want, but I've never seen any guest actually take any fruits and vegetables home. Is Shi Xi just being polite? ]
[You don't know Xiaoshi. Even though she looks lazy now, she is a practical person.]
Shi Xi picked up a small sickle and got on the farm sightseeing bus to the fish pond.
A few minutes later, she arrived at the fish pond.
The gorgeous sunset was reflected on the clear water. Shi Xi was walking on the path along the fish pond with a bamboo basket on his back. He raised his hand and gently stroked the leaves of the mulberry trees on the roadside. The whole scene was as beautiful as an impressionist oil painting.
Shi Xi turned around and looked at the photographer: "Photographer, can mulberry leaves be eaten?"
This sentence brought the photographer back to reality. It seems that fairies also need to eat.
The photographer couldn't talk to her and could only nod with the camera.
Shi Xi, however, had already begun to yearn for those ripe and tempting mulberries: "These fruits look very sweet, they must be delicious."
The photographer took a look at the fruits on the tree, moved his Adam's apple, and nodded in agreement with the camera.
“Ahhhhh!!” a scream came from another fish pond.
Shi Xi quickened his pace and rushed over, and saw Guan Xing climbing out of the water in a panic. He was soaked all over and it seemed that he had accidentally fallen.
Bai Man was also fishing and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"
Guan Xing carefully wiped the water off his face and ignored her with a sullen look.
Bai Man didn't feel embarrassed and turned away expressionlessly. When she saw Shi Xi, she immediately smiled sweetly and waved enthusiastically: "Teacher Xiao, do you want to catch fish too?"
Shi Xi smiled at her: "I want to catch fish and shrimp."
"There are a lot of fish in this pond, and the water is so clear that I can see the fish, but they are very agile, and the mud in the pond is very slippery. I will fall if I am not careful. I still have no harvest." Bai Man sighed helplessly: "If it really doesn't work, I can only give up this dish. Teacher Xiaoshi, go get the tools."
When Shi Xi went to get the tools, another scream was heard behind him. It was probably that Guan Xing fell again.
It was too troublesome to put on the swimming equipment, so Shi Xi thought of a good way to catch fish, so he only took a fishing net and a small bucket for seafood.
When she returned to the fish pond, Bai Man saw that she was not wearing her swimming pants and water shoes, and reminded her: "Teacher Xiao, you forgot to wear your swimming gear."
Shi Xi said, "I'll fish on the shore."
Guan Xing smiled disdainfully after hearing this: "I couldn't catch any fish even after diving into the water, so you might as well just give up."
Bai Man heard Guan Xing's voice-over: If you don't want to work hard, get out as soon as possible.
Bai Man smiled and spoke for Shi Xi: "Since we can't get it in the water, then fishing on the shore is also an option. Come on, Teacher Xiaoshi!"
Shi Xi winked at her and said, "To thank Manman for her encouragement, I'll share one with you if I catch one later."
Bai Man put down the fishing net and made a heart shape to her: "Whether I can eat fried fish fillet with butter tonight depends on Teacher Xiao!"
"I think you two should give up together." Guan Xing said sarcastically and turned to walk to the other side.
[Guan Xing's words are a bit harsh, it really ruins the atmosphere. ]
[I admit that Guan Guan's words were a bit blunt, but he was also disappointed in Shi Xi. It was too obvious that Shi Xi was playing badly. Everyone else was getting involved, but she was the only one who wanted to be special. She was not willing to get involved, so why was she recording a farming variety show? ]
[She will definitely not catch any fish with this attitude, so what's wrong with asking her to just give up? Look at how hard our Guan Guan works. ]
[Shi Xi failed to catch any fish again when he came to the loan. He summarized the failure experience of the previous two guests and decided to try another method. What if he really caught some fish? What would you say? 】
Guan Xing put the fishing net into the water and waited with bated breath for the school of fish to pass by.
When he felt the time was right, he immediately swung his pole to catch the fish! With a splash, the water droplets formed a beautiful arc in the air and slowly fell onto the water surface. Guan Xing looked at the fishing net - it was empty.
He changed his position with difficulty and repeated the operation again. This time, a fish got into the fishing net. His heart was pounding with excitement and his movements became very cautious. Just when he thought victory was in sight, the slippery fish flexibly swung its tail, jumped out of the fishing net and leaped into the water.
Guan Xing completely lost his patience and threw the fishing net into the water in annoyance: "I can't catch anything at all!" Damn fish pond!
He had a thousand swear words in his heart, and if there hadn't been a camera, he would definitely have cursed loudly.
Just then, he discovered that the nearby schools of fish were swimming in the same direction at a very fast speed and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
So weird.
Guan Xing frowned and looked around, and found that Bai Man had already gone near Shi Xi.
There was a large school of fish gathered on the water in front of Shi Xi. These fish did not hide at all, like a group of koi waiting to be fed.
Some fish even jumped into the air and wagged their tails to attract her attention.
Guan Xing widened his eyes: Are these the same group of fish that just avoided him?
Shi Xi squatted on the shore and looked at Bai Man nonchalantly: "What kind of fish do you want? Choose one."
Bai Man felt the fish swimming past her, and goose bumps appeared on her thin arms. She was so shocked that she couldn't express it in words: "Teacher Xiao, what did you do? How come all these fish swam over here obediently?"
He did not just swam over obediently, he almost said "Choose me, choose me".
Shi Xi raised her eyes and looked into the distance. Her vengeful spirit friends were playing in the fish pond, driving the fish towards her while playing.
She tilted her head, and the cinnabar mole under her eye was even more attractive in the twilight: "I didn't do anything, I just wanted to please the fish."
[I asked the fish in my aquarium, and they said it must be an act.]
[My dad, a fisherman for ten years, is crying with envy now. ]
[I was shocked. What kind of physique did Xiao have? He could dominate the fish pond! ]
[You are also very likable. I want to be your sister. Woohoo...]
【Don't forget, I was a magician when I was young, and I worked part-time.】
[I whispered, this scene is a little bit weird. Thinking about the other part-time job of the teacher, it is very scary. ]
[Is this the difference between ineffective efforts and effective “playing badly”? Guan Xing tried so hard but it was all in vain, and was so angry that he smashed the fishing net. Shi Xi didn’t even get into the water, and all the fish in the pond rushed towards her.]
[Just now it seems that many people said that she couldn't catch any fish. Do you call this "not catching any fish"? ]
Shi Xi selected a big fat fish and plenty of prawns, and helped Bai Man select a fish and pulled her ashore.
The evil spirits also left the fish pond, everything returned to normal, and the fish quickly dived to the bottom of the water.
The two girls walked towards the tool room, chatting and laughing. Bai Man stretched and sighed, "The evening breeze is so comfortable~ I am so happy to hug Teacher Xiao's thighs~"
It was getting darker and Guan Xing was the only one left standing in the water. He looked at his empty fish basket and suddenly felt that the water and wind were so cold and he wanted to go home.
