The director seemed to have discovered the fun of this contrast, as the camera in the live broadcast room kept switching between Shi Xi and Guan Xing.

At Shi Xi's side, Chef Liu's steamed garlic vermicelli and prawns were served out of the pot, with the fragrance spreading in the steam.

Shi Xi clapped and praised, "It smells so good. The shells of these prawns have been cut open, so they have fully absorbed the flavor of the garlic and sauce, and the flavor is locked firmly in the prawn meat. If you take a bite... I think the prawn meat will be very chewy. Chef Liu's cooking skills are really first-rate."

The live broadcast room gave a big close-up of the cut prawns. The prawns were very attractive and the shrimp meat looked very chewy, which made people's mouths water.

Chef Liu said cheerfully, "You are good at finding ingredients. Anyone can make delicious dishes with such fresh and plump shrimps. You must eat two more shrimps when you eat later to treat yourself."

The host noticed this and said with a smile: "Teacher Xiao has great potential to be a host. The prawns made by Chef Liu are really delicious."

The camera turned to Guan Xing's side. Chef He was cooking pasta and Guan Xing was watching beside him.

Chef He picked up the pasta, added aloe vera and cream and stir-fried it. Guan Xing put on a mask of pain.

Chef He began to plate the pasta, garnishing it with fried garlic slices next to the pasta, and finally squeezed a little lemon juice on it, and forced a smile to the camera: "Creative cuisine, aloe vera cream fried garlic stewed pasta."

Guan Xing rubbed his eyebrows in despair.

The host was silent for a moment: "I personally like to eat pasta, but this is the first time I have seen this combination... I am looking forward to it."

[This innovative dish is indeed creative and high-end. The edible part is probably the fried garlic sprouts, right?]

[I really don't want to imagine what this dish tastes like. I think it looks like facial cleanser. I might as well choose stir-fried aloe vera and borrow some onions, ginger, garlic, and chili peppers from the group next door. With these four kitchen masters, anything can be delicious.]

【The pause by the host is very spiritual.】

[I am craving for that prawn dish, it is so delicious and tasty. I am hungry again. I want to have another midnight snack! ]

[I suddenly remembered what Guan Xing’s fans said before: Shi Xi is doomed to lose.]

[Hahahaha, this sentence is too funny in the current situation. Shi Xi clearly won.]

[Huh, how do you know that the aloe vera cream and garlic spaghetti must be bad? This is the work of the chef, maybe you will find it amazing after tasting it? ]

The unethical comparison in the live broadcast room has not ended yet, and Shi Xi’s group appeared in the live broadcast room again.

Chef Liu picked up a whole steamed free-range chicken and put it into a glass container filled with ice cubes: "This is called 'passing the cold river'. The chicken shrinks when it is cold, and the meat becomes tighter, which makes it more delicious. Cantonese cuisine emphasizes 'chicken has chicken flavor'. Don't underestimate the method. The simpler it is, the more effort it requires."

Chef Liu placed the steamed chicken that had been rinsed with ice water on the chopping board and began to chop the chicken. With one cut, the chicken skin opened up, revealing its tender and smooth meat.

Shi Xi was greedy: "It's the New Year, it's the New Year."

The camera moved to the side, and Bai Man and Jiang Xingmian came over at some point, also staring eagerly at Chef Liu chopping the chicken.

Bai Man: "It's the New Year, it's the New Year."

Jiang Xingmian blinked and said honestly, "It smells good."

As he was plating the food, Chef Chen joked, "Chef Liu, your chicken has taken away the souls of the two children."

Chef Li from the Baiman team smiled and said, "This is Lao Liu's ultimate move!"

Chef Liu looked at the two chefs and said, "Your cream stewed chicken and beef mashed potato cheese pie are also great dishes!"

It was the Guanxing team's turn. Chef He was frying the two tiny fishes with a worried look on his face, struggling to put together the third dish.

Chef He reminded Guan Xing: "You still have to make a dish on your own. Have you decided what to make?"

Guan Xing glanced at the remaining ingredients and said coldly, "Stir-fry the garlic sprouts."

This is indeed a dish.

The good-tempered Chef He comforted him: "All groups' food will be shared. We have limited ingredients, but you can taste other groups' food later."

Guan Xing said stubbornly, "The results are not out yet, don't encourage others. I think their performance is just so-so, especially the steamed fish and scallion chicken, which are only at the level of an average tea restaurant. I have no interest at all!"

[Other groups: It’s the New Year. Guanxing group: It’s so desolate.]

【But Guan Xing himself was stubborn. 】

[I'm not interested. Why did you peek just now? If you don't know, you might think you have a crush on that steamed fish with shredded green onions. ]

[Looking forward to Guan Xing's kitchen debut! Stir-fried garlic sprouts go really well with rice! ]

After Chef Liu finished preparing all the dishes, he handed the spatula to Shi Xi and said, "Now it's your turn."

"I'm ready." Shi Xi walked to the stove calmly, tied his apron properly, and started to make scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

This time, Chef Liu encouraged him: "The eggs are fried well."

After a while, he said again: "The aroma is coming out. This must be a perfect tomato scrambled eggs."

Bai Man, who was watching nearby, echoed Chef Liu: "Teacher Xiao Shi actually made scrambled eggs with tomatoes. I love it so much! The color is amazing. Wow, Teacher Xiao Shi added tomato sauce. The details are there!"

Chef Chen from the next group: "Not bad, it's up to the restaurant's standard."

Shi Xi's ears turned red from their praise.

On the other side, Guan Xing poured the burnt garlic sprouts onto the plate and looked at Chef He.

Chef He, who was unable to save the situation in time, took a deep breath and said, "Not bad, it's... done."

…

At 8:30 in the evening, the canteen opens for dinner on time.

All the guests were seated. The male host said, "Dear audience, I feel very happy at this moment because I am surrounded by delicious food and I am immersed in the aroma of food. Now, let's take a look at the results of the chefs and assistants' hard work!"

The camera showed the dishes of Baiman and Jiangxingmian. Baiman's menu was exactly the same as the proposed one. Jiangxingmian had to temporarily change the menu because some ingredients were missing, but a dish of cream stewed chicken made the scene, and Chef Chen's plating was very beautiful, not much inferior to Baiman's.

When it came to Shixi's group and Guanxing's group, there were plenty of fish and meat on one side and green food on the other. With Guanxing's burnt garlic sprouts as a backdrop, even Shixi's fried tomato and egg looked fancy.

After being busy and waiting for so long, everyone was really hungry. The host announced that the meal was about to begin and specifically stated that the amateur guests needed to taste every dish and vote for the best cooking partner of the night after dinner.

For Shi Xi, the result was not important. The most important thing was to enjoy the meal.

She had just picked up some shrimps with a serving chopstick when a bowl of pumpkin soup handed to her by Bai Man appeared in front of her.

"Teacher Xiao, please try my cooking."

Jiang Xingmian handed them small bowls of stewed chicken respectively: "I'm afraid you can't reach it, so ask me to help you serve it after you finish eating."

"Thank you. I will enjoy it." Seeing the sincere smiles in the two people's eyes, Shi Xi felt that it was really worthwhile to come here and make two friends.

"On a cool summer night like this, it's so comfortable to enjoy delicious food with friends in the yard and listen to the frogs." The female host raised the iced watermelon juice and smiled sweetly at Shi Xi: "Thank you, Mr. Xiao, for the watermelon juice. It injects soul into this meal!"

Everyone raised their glasses in tacit understanding and clinked glasses for Shi Xi from a distance.

A sip of iced watermelon juice will relieve your greasiness, stimulate your appetite and make you feel refreshed.

When the dishes are served, it is easy to tell which group’s dishes are the most popular.

"This scallion chicken is the best I've ever eaten. It's not greasy at all. I can still finish three bowls of rice."

“The steamed fish is so delicious, it melts in your mouth.”

"I picked the steamed shrimp with garlic sauce. You can remove the shell with chopsticks. It's super delicious. I can finish a whole plate by myself, okay?"

The fried tomato and eggs made by Shi Xi were the first to be cleared away. It tasted sour and sweet and went very well with rice.

Among the four groups, only Shi Xi's group made Chinese food, and they were also the only group that cooked rice, and it turned out to be very popular.

The male host loved the scallion chicken the most. He kept eating and praising it. After praising it, he reminded the amateur guests: "All experience officers should taste every dish equally."

The amateur guests had to face the creative dishes of Guan Xing's group. They picked up a small portion of the dish on a plate and mustered up the courage to start tasting it.

The amateur guests swallowed the food in their mouths with a very tactful attitude.

“The taste of aloe vera is still quite refreshing, but it’s too pungent when paired with the fried garlic butter.”

“But I still applaud their innovative spirit.”

“Is it so bad?” Guan Xing tasted the aloe vera pasta himself, then put down his fork with a sullen face.

After that, no one was interested in the creative dishes of Guanxing Group anymore.

【Hahahaha, I can’t even eat this. 】

【Teacher at a young age: It’s all thanks to the support of my peers. 】

[After being publicly executed time and time again, I think Guan Xing no longer wants to record food and farming variety shows. ]

Even Guan Xing’s fans——

[Is Guan Guan really not suitable for this kind of variety show? 】

【After watching the live broadcast till now, I actually get the cuteness of Shi Xi. I am done.】

Guan Xing watched others eat and felt hungrier and hungrier, but he had said harshly that he was not interested in other people's food, so he didn't pick up his chopsticks.

It was not until Chef He handed him a bowl of scallion chicken and steamed shrimp and urged him to eat some that he ate "reluctantly".

Two minutes later, Guan Xing held the empty bowl and stared at Chef He.

Chef He saw the empty bowl and realized: "More?"

Guan Xing handed him the bowl.

It smells really good.

They ate and talked. Shi Xi sat in the corner and concentrated on eating, but he was the center of the topic.

"Do you know where the big fish and shrimp on the table came from?" Bai Man said vividly: "When the teacher approached the shore, the fish swarmed in front of her frantically and she could choose. I was in the water at the time and it was really shocking to witness it."

Everyone was very interested in this novel thing and pricked up their ears.

An amateur guest asked: "Is it really that magical?"

"Really? You'll see after watching the replay. This fish was given to me by my teacher when I was little."

"I believe it's true," Jiang Xingmian said seriously, "When my teacher caught chickens at the chicken farm, all the chickens went back to the cages obediently."

"I also believe it's true..." The female host pointed behind Shi Xi. Three rural cats that looked like gas tanks were lying on the open space behind Shi Xi.

Shi Xi looked back and saw a green-eyed orange cat immediately humming and walking towards her, jumping onto her legs, and rubbing its head against her arm like a spoiled child.

The female host said: "These are the cats raised by Brother Shu. They are usually very aloof and won't let anyone touch them even if you feed them cat food. It seems that Teacher Xiao is particularly popular with small animals. No wonder Teacher Xiao can dominate the farm."

"Let me try." The amateur male guest walked up to a calico cat and stretched out his hand to it: "Mimi, come here..."

The calico cat turned around and walked away, squatting next to Shi Xi's chair.

The male guest touched the back of his head awkwardly: "You really only like Teacher Xiao."

Even Brother Shu heard the news and came to record the scene with a Polaroid camera. He took two photos in total and gave one to Shi Xi.

Shu Ge was very envious of Shi Xi: "They get impatient after I hold them for five minutes. I might be a fake owner."

After dinner, Bai Man and Shi Xi brought out a fruit plate.

Bai Man: "These are the fruits that Teacher Xiao picked."

"Thank you, Mr. Xiao," the female host said happily, "the food tonight is really great."

"We've had a really great time," the male host said, "It's almost time for us to go off the air. Now, please ask our five experience officers to choose the best partner for tonight!"

Amateur guest A: "Jiang Jiang's butter chicken stew is really good, especially to my taste. I chose scallion chicken."

Amateur guest B: "The beef mashed potato cheese pie made by Manman is very filling and very satisfying. I chose the scallion chicken."

Amateur guest C: "I choose scallion chicken too."

Amateur guest D: "Do I still need to choose?"

"..." Host: "You still have to choose."

Shi Xi won with three votes, Bai Man and Jiang Xingmian got one vote each, and Guan Xing got zero votes.

The female host announced: "The best pair tonight is our Chef Liu and Teacher Xiao Shi!"

The male host presented them with "Best Partner" badges and handed Shi Xi an extra envelope: "This is a farm visit card given to Teacher Xiaoshi by Brother Shu as a gift. Teacher Xiaoshi can not only come to the farm to play at any time, but also own a small vegetable plot."

Everyone was applauding and celebrating for Shi Xi. Guan Xing lowered his head and poked at the shriveled and dark fried garlic sprouts in front of him.

[Teacher Xiaoshi, take me out to play after the filming is finished! I didn’t get a big watermelon last time! ]

[Seize the Year! Can you guys do a live stream when you come to play? I love watching beautiful girls posting. 】

[It turns out that Teacher Xiao Tang is also watching Teacher Xiao’s live broadcast. Our colleagues in the props group are also watching. ]

[Teacher Xiao didn't care about winning or losing, and asked Chef Liu to cook his favorite dishes. Instead, he conquered the experience officers and guests with the taste. Guan Xing wanted to win, but he didn't have the strength, and ended up with nothing. ]

【Manman and Xiaojiang are also great, and you can feel their sincerity.】

[I enjoyed watching this episode and was a huge fan of Farm Overlord. I will take a break and relax on the farm someday.]

Before the live broadcast ended, the two hosts promoted the guests' recent works and were particularly concerned when they mentioned Shi Xi.

"We really have a great affinity with the crew of Phantom. I wish Xiaoshi and Niannian a smooth filming and hope they can come to the farm again when they have time. I also wish Phantom a big box office success!"

"The live broadcast of "Evening Canteen" ends here. See you in the main show. Good night."

After the live broadcast room was closed, the two hosts rubbed their necks and looked more relaxed, as did the other guests.

At this time, Bai Man took out the box she had prepared in advance and gave each person a small jar of exquisite bald butter sauce: "This is the secret bald butter sauce handmade by my restaurant. I give it to everyone as a gift. This sauce is especially good with rice."

The small jar was heavy, and everyone felt warm holding it in their hands.

The director also got a can of butter sauce, and he said to everyone while holding the sauce:

"Thank you for your hard work today. Brother Shu has prepared rooms for you. My assistant will hand you the door cards. After you finish cleaning up the table, you can go back to your room to rest at any time. Just a reminder, we will film the cleaning up section and edit it into the main film."

Bai Man stretched and said to Shi Xi, "Teacher Xiao Shi, I brought a SLR camera with me. I'll help you take some photos after I pack up!"

Shi Xi held the cat to the ground: "Then I'll look forward to it."

Each group had to take care of their own business. Several young people advised the chef to take a rest and took the initiative to take on the job of washing dishes.

Shi Xi was concentrating on washing the dishes. When she was about to rinse them, she glanced at the glass bowl on the counter and found that the number of tomatoes in it was not right.

There had been four tomatoes in the dish when she had started washing it, but now there were only three left.

Shi Xi looked around. Everyone else was washing dishes. Guan Xing's back looked full of resentment. Xiao Jiang and Man Man were chatting about work. The photographer who was taking pictures of them was yawning because he was sleepy... There was nothing unusual.

Shi Xi lowered his head to look for it and found the lost tomato lying on the ground not far away.

How did it get to the ground silently?

Shi Xi picked up the tomato and examined it. He saw two dents on the plump tomato, which looked like someone had pinched it with fingers. Shi Xi smelled it and found no sinister smell.

But the contact surface is very small, and it is not ruled out that the negative energy has dissipated.

The ghosts had been resting in the game and certainly hadn't noticed anything unusual. Shi Xi summoned Zhang Qingyu out and asked him, "Feel anything wrong in the kitchen?"

Zhang Qingyu shook his head: "No, what's wrong?"

At this time, Bai Man shouted: "Teacher Xiaoshi, what are you doing squatting on the ground?"

"Pick up the tomatoes." Shi Xi put the tomatoes back into the bowl.

Bai Man nodded: "I'm done washing, come and help you."

"Just sit down and rest for a while. I'll be there soon."

The remaining vegetables were stored in the refrigerator, and after cleaning up their respective areas, they left the kitchen.

The lights in the semi-open-air kitchen were turned off, and the program crew filmed the guests' backs as they left, ending all filming for the day.

The photographer was about to finish his work when he noticed that there were a few cats following Shi Xi. The scene was warm and funny, so he pressed the shutter and took a still.

On the way from the kitchen to the B&B, Guan Xing recalled his experiences of the day with mixed emotions. When he was almost at the door, his assistant ran over with a bad expression: "Brother Xing, Brother Chen watched today's live broadcast and was very dissatisfied. He scolded me and said he would talk to you in person tomorrow."

Guan Xing cursed and suddenly felt very irritated: "Do you have cigarettes?"

"Brother Chen asked you to quit smoking..."

"Stop talking fucking nonsense." Guan Xing searched his pockets and found cigarettes and a lighter.

The assistant nervously warned him, "It's quite dark around here, don't go too far, be careful not to get photographed. If you get into trouble again, Brother Chen will definitely be even angrier."

Guan Xing ignored him and walked towards the courtyard gate, cigarette in hand.

Guan Xing found a quiet and deserted place and lit a cigarette while leaning against the wall.

The dim light above his head suddenly flickered, and the flame of the lighter was blown out by the wind. Guan Xing felt a chill and it seemed as if a hand was placed on his shoulder.

He heard a hoarse voice: "Young man, can I borrow a cigarette?"
