Xu Miaotong and Gao Li were suffocated when they saw that although there were four dishes on the table, they were all boiled vegetables in watery broth.
In the live stream, Xu Miaotong and Gao Li's fans started to feel indignant again.
[Is this even fit for human consumption? I don't believe Aunt Li's family usually only eats boiled vegetables without any oil or fat!]
This is going too far! It's getting increasingly outrageous! This is mistreating Tongtong and Li Ge!
[Isn't the production team going to do anything about this? They're just letting Aunt Li mistreat our Sister Tong and Brother Li like this! Feeding people this kind of food even pigs wouldn't eat, who are they trying to disgust?]
"Is it just... boiled vegetables?" Gao Li asked, his expression becoming increasingly tense.
Although they had a good lunch at home, after an afternoon of being exposed to the sun and running around, they were starving and desperately needed something good to eat.
"Aren't you celebrities? Don't celebrities usually eat boiled vegetables to maintain their figures? You're filming a show right now, aren't you supposed to be maintaining your figures?"
Li Qiaohui's few words left Xu Miaotong and Gao Li speechless.
Li Qiaohui served them rice and placed the three bowls heavily in front of Xu Miaotong, Gao Li, and Gao Hao.
Xu Miaotong and Gao Li noticed the bowl in front of them and were taken aback.
The bowls in front of them were the same set that Chi Nao had bought for her family.
The bowl in front of Xu Miaotong was labeled "Mom's," the bowl in front of Gao Li was labeled "Dad's," and the bowl in front of Gao Hao was labeled "Baby's."
“Our family is poor, and we can only afford these very ordinary, broken bowls. We don’t have any bowls like those used by royalty. In fact, we country folk are so ignorant that we’ve never even seen one. If you want to eat, eat; if you don’t, leave. Nobody’s stopping you,” Li Qiaohui said.
Viewers in the live stream finally understood why Aunt Li disliked Xu Miaotong and Gao Li so much.
[Case solved... It really was Xu Miaotong and Gao Li's own doing]
Xu Miaotong deliberately flaunted her royal-style tableware, intending to disparage Qin Yuanyao. However, she forgot that the worn-out bowls she looked down upon were probably used by many others. Aunt Li must have watched the live stream to particularly dislike such arrogant celebrities.
I'd love to interview Xu Miaotong and Gao Li to see what they think now, since they have to eat from those shabby bowls they used to despise.
[Previously, some fans of Xu Miaotong and Gao Li said that even pigs wouldn't eat the food Aunt Li gave them. Stop insulting pigs; pigs love to eat that. So, are some people even worse than pigs?]
[Do you think Xu Miaotong and Gao Li will eat it? Hahahaha]
【Of course she'll eat it. Xu Miaotong is still trying to cultivate the image of someone who loves buying things from street vendors. If she doesn't eat it now, wouldn't she be contradicting herself and all her previous efforts be wasted? So she'll eat it even if she has to cry (playful)】
Netizens were right; when Xu Miaotong and Gao Li saw the bowl, they realized why Li Qiaohui was targeting them.
Xu Miaotong never imagined that all she did was dislike Qin Yuanyao and want to kick her while she was down. Why did this retribution end up back on her in this way?
But can she not eat it?
Of course she can't.
If she doesn't eat, wouldn't that prove that what Chi Cheese said is true? She did say that those bowls were broken, and she did say that Qin Yuanyao should leave the entertainment industry.
But if she eats it, she can continue to obscure the truth of the matter. In any case, as long as she doesn't admit it herself, netizens can't be 100% sure that what Chi Cheese said is true.
Xu Miaotong picked up the bowl and started eating.
As long as she endures it, she'll turn things around sooner or later!
...
The next morning at six o'clock, Director Jiang woke up all the guests. After breakfast, they began to assign tasks for the day.
It was only seven o'clock in the morning.
[The live stream started so early today, at 6 AM. Will it always be this early from now on?]
I don't know. No matter how early it is, once I set my alarm and start the live stream, I can still stay in bed.
[Hahaha, I'm curled up in bed like everyone else!]
I envy you guys who can still stay in bed; I'm already getting ready to squeeze onto the subway to get to work.
The guests must have been the ones who worked the hardest. I noticed that many of them had very noticeable bags under their eyes; they probably didn't get enough sleep.
Hey, why pity celebrities? They earn in a day what we might not earn in a lifetime. Watching variety shows is just for fun; there's no need to get emotionally involved. Instead, focus on taking care of yourself and your own life.
"Isn't it early today?" Director Jiang chuckled as he looked at everyone's listless appearance. "You'll have to get used to it; it'll be this early from now on. Now that the weather is getting warmer, we'll try to finish all the day's tasks in the morning so you can have free time in the afternoon."
"I'll start by distributing the start-up funds to each family group for this season. These start-up funds are allocated based on the remaining funds from the previous season..."
The family with the largest surplus in the previous season was Qin Yuanyao's group, with 115 yuan, and in the end, they received 30 yuan in start-up capital.
The second place went to Xu Miaotong's family, with 113 yuan, and they ultimately received 25 yuan in start-up capital.
The third place went to Guo Zhuyan's family, who received 89 yuan and ultimately got 15 yuan in start-up capital.
The fourth place went to Zhuo Ranjun's family, who received 50 yuan, and ultimately got 10 yuan in start-up capital.
The last family was Feng Wenhe, who received 20 yuan, and ultimately got 5 yuan in start-up capital.
Uh... did the funding shrink this season? Last season at least started with 188 yuan, this season it's been drastically reduced.
[Is the production team out of money? (No) (I'm just kidding)]
Qin Yuanyao and Xu Miaotong are alright, at least they have twenty or thirty yuan. Teacher Guo's family is barely okay too. But Zhuo Ranjun and Feng Wenhe's families, one family has ten yuan and the other has five yuan. What can they do with that? (facepalm)
Feng Wenhe expressed the same question as those raised in the live chat.
"Director Jiang, isn't five yuan too little start-up capital?"
“Not bad,” Director Jiang chuckled. “You don’t need to pay for your own accommodation this season. We’ve arranged all sorts of tasks for you every day, and you’ll get cash rewards for completing them. Sometimes we even give you ingredients as a bonus. There’s not much you need to spend on yourself. So, do you think five yuan is a small amount?”
Feng Wenhe “…”
[Amidst the bustling activity and confusion, Director Jiang's ruthless and exploitative nature has begun to surface again.]
[I've discovered that Jiang Bapi has some PUA skills. Just listen to what he said earlier; even a master of PUA would be ashamed of himself.]
[Feng Wenhe, should I thank your production team for giving my family five yuan?]
Feng Wenhe was a little unhappy, but there was nothing he could do.
It's because their team didn't perform well last season and ended up in last place.
Feng Wenhe sighed dramatically, "Five yuan it is. My wife is very skillful; she can make something delicious even with very few ingredients."
