Chapter 82 I'll Shut Them Up



Sheng Rong walked faster than her and had already handed the manuscript to Wen Xi, whispering a few words.

Wen Xi took the manuscript and read it carefully.

Lin Yueyue pulled Sheng Rong aside at this time, and her tone was full of distrust: "Ask her for help? Forget it..."

"I heard that she had her poems written by ghostwriters."

Sheng Rong frowned: "I heard?"

"Yueyue, you were once a news anchor. Have you forgotten the three elements of news?"

When Lin Yueyue heard Sheng Rong's words, she swallowed what she was about to say.

Wen Xi had already handed the manuscript back: "How about ending the last paragraph with this sentence?"

On the blank manuscript paper, a sentence was added: "The fragrance of rice flowers speaks of a good harvest, and the croaking of frogs is heard."

Lin Yueyue looked at the line of elegant and graceful thin gold script on the paper, wiped her eyes quickly, and read it several times.

Her original lyrics for the closing paragraph read: "At the turn of summer and autumn, the rice begins to ripen, and the rice flowers bloom with a faint fragrance. The fragrance emanating from the rice flowers tells people that the harvest season has arrived."

"At night the frogs begin their chorus, their calls forming a continuous sound."

The poem written by Wen Xi condensed his last paragraph into a poem that was concise and elegant.

Chinese culture is profound and extensive!

Lin Yueyue's eyes suddenly changed when she looked at Wen Xi. She wanted to kowtow to Wen Xi at this moment.

With this phrase, their program has a better chance of winning an award.

She wanted to thank Wen Xi, but Wen Xi had his head down and was strumming the guitar in his hand.

This woman is so beautiful just sitting there that she is like a painting, making people reluctant to disturb her.

Soon, it was time for the musical skit to begin.

At this time, Lin Yueyue put aside all distractions and read out her first voice-over sentence.

"There's a very popular internet term these days: 'Ganfanren' (a person who works hard to eat)."

"So, how did rice become integrated into our lives, allowing us to evolve from primitive humans to food lovers?"

"Hundreds of thousands of years ago, wild rice was the most beautiful among a bunch of grasses."

"They grow in the mud and are a bit unruly."

"Everyone knows that wheat has awns, but rice also has awns, which can prick people when they're not paying attention, and rice grains can easily fall into mud."

"The swamp is full of dangers, and wild animals like saltwater crocodiles make it even more difficult to harvest rice."

The sound of a guzheng echoed in the background music, echoing the crisis in the voice-over.

Wen Xi, as the last singer to perform, was also watching the skit in the audience.

She was very curious about the roles played by Sheng Rong, Xu Menglian and others in the sitcom.

However, the next second, when a cartoon plush crocodile crawled out from backstage, Wen Xi couldn't hold it anymore.

Xu Menglian said that she has social anxiety and wants to play a role without showing her face. Could this "Gulf crocodile" be her?

Lin Yueyue's voiceover continued, "With the continuous development of primitive people's production tools, harpoons for fishing and sickles for harvesting appeared. People could finally catch some rice while fishing."

"Archaeologists discovered remains of rice made from wild rice in Xianren Cave, Gan Province, 10,000 years ago."

The performance on the stage was synchronized with the voice-over, and a primitive man holding a harpoon walked onto the stage with a frantic pace.

Then he slapped the crocodile's head with the trident in his hand.

The cartoon crocodile's head tilted, and the "primitive man" found some rice on the ground, then dragged the unconscious cartoon crocodile home to cook.

Wen Xi was stunned, because the primitive man wearing a tiger-skin skirt and beating his chest was Li Yaoxing, who was known as the "ceiling of handsome men in ancient costumes."

From the moment the cartoon crocodile appeared, the laughter in the audience never stopped.

......

As the wheel of history moves forward, the situational drama turns the words recorded in the book into vivid pictures, giving the audience a popular science account of the history of rice development.

In the Tang Dynasty, rice became one of the main grains, and in the Song Dynasty there was a proverb that "When Suzhou and Lake Tai are ripe, the world is full", which means that the grain in Suzhou and other places is ripe enough to feed the world.

During the Song Dynasty, rice production increased from one harvest a year to two harvests a year, ranking first in grain production. This also made China during the Song Dynasty the first country in history to have a population of over 100 million.

The time of the sitcom gradually moves on to the modern era.

Finally, it gradually settled on the four words "hybrid rice".

"On September 7, 93 years ago, a nurse delivered a baby boy named 'Yuan Xiaohai'.

This nurse was Lin Qiaozhi, the founder of Chinese obstetrics and gynecology.

In 1949, he became one of the first college students in New China to study agriculture. He loved swimming and almost joined the national swimming team.

Soon after he enrolled in school, the enemy invaded the border. Determined to defend his country, he passed the pilot selection, but the war ended soon and they returned to campus.

He missed the opportunity to become a combat pilot for the national swimming team, but eventually became the father of hybrid rice.

In 2011, the third phase of super hybrid rice trials yielded 900 kilograms per mu on a large scale, and since then, the Chinese people no longer have to worry about food shortages.

"Mr. Yuan, we thank you."

“We miss you.”

The voice-over ended here, and the screen on the stage played the current achievements of hybrid rice.

Soon it will be Wen Xi's turn to go on stage and perform a song.

There were a lot of noisy sounds coming from the audience, and many people took out their mobile phones and turned on the video recorder at this moment, ready to record Wen Xi's performance later.

The voices on the Internet are also getting louder and louder.

Director Xu saw the internet going crazy: "What's going on? Wen Xi is the one who saved the day, why are they talking about Wen Xi again?"
