Feng Mao and Yang Zhong cooked several dishes for lunch. The staple food was salted noodles with three flavors of salt. Everyone could add salt according to their taste.
Du Yuanzhe chose the beef with mushrooms without hesitation because the meat was larger than that of the minced meat with beans and tasted better.
Jinming made the same choice as him, and they both looked at each other and smiled.
Feng Mao smiled and said, "I have a feeling that the mushroom beef I made today will be eaten by the two of you."
Han Jinghao: "Hahaha, I feel the same way."
Du Yuanzhe took a bite of noodles, raised his thumb and said, "Teacher Feng's noodles are so delicious."
He decided to make salted noodles for Xia Ning after returning home. He actually forgot about this delicacy before. It was really wrong.
Eight people ate around a long table. It was a little crowded because there weren't many chairs, so they all ate on the carpet.
Feng Mao and Zheng Xiao chatted: "Has Xiao taken on any new roles after filming "The Legend of Yun Lan"?"
Zheng Xiao shook his head: "I'm currently preparing for a concert and have been busy rehearsing all day. I don't have time to film for the time being."
Zheng Xiao is not just an actor. He used to be an idol singer and only made the transition to being an actor in recent years. Because of his good looks and decent acting skills, Huanxing Entertainment decided to promote him.
However, he doesn't seem to be planning to give up his status as an idol singer. He has announced that he will hold a concert this year and he is ambitious to hold it at the Yancheng Stadium, which can accommodate 30,000 people.
Du Yuanzhe had heard about this from Xiaopang. It sounded incredible for an amateur singer to hold a concert for 30,000 people. However, if Zheng Xiao could become famous thanks to "The Legend of Yun Lan", it might be possible.
Feng Mao said, "You want to hold a concert? Then your fans will be in for a treat. We have a love song king here. When you have nothing to do in the evening, ask Lao Han to teach Xiao about the experience of holding a concert."
Han Jinghao smiled and said, "Of course I have no problem, but Xiao has held concerts before, and he knows what he should pay attention to."
Zheng Xiao said hurriedly: "I have only driven it once or twice, so I am definitely not as experienced as Teacher Han."
Feng Mao said, "I think it would be better if we sing karaoke in the evening and have some fun together."
Jinming was the first to respond: "Sure, I like karaoke."
Others naturally had no opinion.
......
After the meal, several people continued to sit and chat. The program crew would not let them start working right away, so they would give them time for lunch break. However, none of them felt sleepy, so the group continued to chat.
With Feng Mao and Han Jinghao constantly bringing up topics, the atmosphere was not awkward and every guest was taken care of.
Feng Mao suggested, "Since we have nothing to do, why don't we play truth or dare? You young people should like this game."
Han Jinghao smiled and said, "This is good. We still have work to do in the afternoon, so let's not punish you for drinking. Those who don't want to tell the truth can do push-ups, and Lingling and Yingxue, you two can do sit-ups, thirty at a time."
After hearing this, everyone present had different expressions.
Zheng Xiao almost couldn't keep his expression. He could vaguely feel the gazes of several people around him falling on him. What he hated most right now was hearing the three words "prone support". He suspected that Han Jinghao was embarrassing him on purpose.
Feng Mao was helpless. He knew that Han Jinghao didn't pay attention to Weibo and had no idea that Zheng Xiao had become a trending topic because of doing push-ups. However, Han Jinghao had already said it, and if he proposed to change the punishment, Zheng Xiao would be even more embarrassed.
Feng Mao could only pretend he didn't know and said, "Then it's settled."
The two most senior people decided to play truth or dare, and Du Yuanzhe and others had no choice but to agree.
Jinming found a glass bottle and placed it on the tea table, saying, "According to the rules of the game, whoever the mouth of the bottle points at will be asked the truth-telling question."
In the first round, Feng Mao spun the bottle.
In everyone's eyes, the mouth of the bottle was aimed at Wei Lingling.
Wei Lingling's face fell, no one else had this kind of luck.
You Yingxue was the first to ask, "How many times has Lingling been in love?"
Wei Lingling said: "Once."
"Did they break up or something?"
Wei Lingling frowned slightly. It would be difficult for her to answer this question or not.
Feng Mao smiled and said, "That's the second problem. We have to abide by the rules of the game."
You Yingxue had no choice but to give up.
Du Yuanzhe glanced at You Yingxue. He always felt that You Yingxue was targeting Wei Lingling.
Others didn't think much of it, as these are the questions people usually ask when playing truth or dare.
Since Feng Mao proposed to play, they would inevitably ask questions like this.
Feng Mao spun the bottle again.
The unlucky one this time is Jin Ming.
Yang Zhongbei smiled and said, "Brother Jin, who is your goddess?"
One look at his expression revealed that Jinming must have mentioned it.
The others looked at him curiously.
Jin Ming said embarrassingly: "My goddess is President Xia of Qianying Entertainment."
Du Yuanzhe's face froze.
Damn, I'm eating the melon and it's on me.
Wei Lingling smiled and glanced at Du Yuanzhe implicitly.
Yang Zhong said, "Ever since this kid watched President Xia's live broadcast refuting the rumors, he has become a fanboy of President Xia and dreams of signing a contract with Qianying Entertainment."
Yang Zhong didn't bring up this topic for no reason. He wanted to help Jin Ming attract the attention of Qianying Entertainment.
Han Jinghao laughed and said, "Yuanzhe, maybe you will have another junior brother in the same company soon."
Of course, calling him "junior brother" was just a joke, people from the same company cannot be called brothers.
Du Yuanzhe has good feelings for Jinming, but he is not magnanimous enough to welcome his girlfriend's little fanboy into the company.
Jin Ming blushed slightly at the teasing, and hurriedly explained: "I just think that President Xia has a strong aura, just like my mother. I will feel safe if I sign a contract with Qianying Entertainment."
Puff——
Han Jinghao burst into laughter: "It's over, you will never be able to enter Qianying Entertainment in your lifetime."
Yang Zhong couldn't stop laughing: "Boss Xia is not even 30 years old. I don't have to say anything if I can't speak."
Du Yuanzhe shook his head and laughed. He didn't know what to say. It was the first time he saw Xia Ningmi's fans. He didn't expect that they were fans of his son.
Feng Mao came to the rescue and said, "If you guys keep talking, I'll have to dig a hole in the ground. Let's continue playing games."
Next, Du Yuanzhe watched the bottle slow down and then stop in front of him.
Without waiting for anyone to speak, Zheng Xiao spoke up, "Everyone is curious about Yuanzhe's entry into the entertainment industry. Logically, you don't need to suffer in the entertainment industry. Can you tell me why?"
Du Yuanzhe knew Zheng Xiao wouldn't ask any good questions, so he said, "Brother Xiao, that's not right. I don't think being an actor is suffering. Everyone has their own preferences. I like acting more than doing other things, so I chose to be an actor. It has nothing to do with my status, it's just a choice about my dream."
After saying that, Du Yuanzhe half-jokingly asked, "Does Brother Xiao feel that he is suffering now?"
Zheng Xiao's eyes turned slightly cold, and he smiled and said, "Of course not."
Feng Mao asked curiously, "Will Yuanzhe's family support him becoming an actor?"
Du Yuanzhe said: "Actually, they didn't support it. My dad wanted me to join the company to help my eldest brother. But my family is very open-minded. They respect my ideas. Although they don't support it, they won't oppose it either. My mom downloaded Weibo because I became an actor. She complained that I didn't tell her anything before. She read my Weibo and knew that I was done."
Feng Mao smiled and said, "It seems that my mother still supports it."
Du Yuanzhe said: "My mother has very low expectations of me, as long as I am happy."
Chen Rongshan showed her love for her son very obviously. Even though Du Yuanzhe disagreed with some of her ideas, he could indeed feel the motherly love from Chen Rongshan, and that feeling was very warm.
Han Jinghao said: "My mother is always like this. I am now in my forties, and my mother will still call me to remind me to keep warm and put on more clothes."
Feng Mao sighed: "Mother's love is always great."
Zheng Xiao gritted his teeth. He didn't understand why the topic would go off topic when it came to Du Yuanzhe.
The truth or dare game continues.
This time it's Wei Lingling again.
You Yingxue once again spoke first: "What kind of person would Lingling like?"
The previous questions made her realize that she couldn't directly ask Wei Lingling whether she was in a relationship, otherwise there would definitely be fans scolding her after the show was aired. She could only ask some ambiguous questions.
Du Yuanzhe has already determined that You Yingxue is targeting Wei Lingling.
He couldn't understand why You Yingxue would be hostile to Wei Lingling when they had no connection at all? Were they competing for some resources recently?
When Wei Lingling heard this question, she was stunned for a moment and said, "I like people who know how to respect me."
Feng Mao asked, "Just this one?"
Wei Lingling said: "This is enough. If he knows how to respect me, then everything else can be worked out."
Han Jinghao agreed: "Yes, it is very important for couples to get along with each other. No two people are born to be compatible. They need to gradually get used to each other as they get along with each other."
Feng Mao asked Du Yuanzhe: "What does Yuanzhe think?"
Du Yuanzhe said: "Being with someone is not just about love. If you don't know how to respect him/her, his/her love will be suffocating. If this continues, both of you will feel uncomfortable. It's better to break up."
Zheng Xiao retorted, "But respect is mutual. It's not always possible for one person to be considerate of the other. Sometimes when you feel that your lover doesn't respect you, you may need to think about whether you have done anything wrong. I think no matter what you do, you should first look for the reasons in yourself and not just blame others."
Du Yuanzhe looked at him and said, "When your lover makes you feel that he/she doesn't respect you, you still look for the reason in yourself? Isn't that a bit too humble?"
Zheng Xiao said: "Won't loving someone mean becoming humble?"
Du Yuanzhe shook his head: "Loving someone should make you better, not humble yourself and blindly cater to the other person's preferences. That kind of mentality is abnormal."
Zheng Xiao frowned: "You don't have to agree with this view, there's no need to condemn it all."
Wei Lingling said: "I think this kind of thinking should be rejected outright. I sincerely remind all those who love and are loved not to humble themselves. This will only hurt others and yourself."
Zheng Xiao's face turned completely ugly.
Feng Mao came out to smooth things over, saying with a smile: "Young people's views on love are really different from ours. The times are different, and the ideas are different."
Han Jinghao echoed: "We really don't understand today's young people. This time I'm the one spinning the bottle. I suspect you cheated before. Why didn't it come to your turn once?"
Feng Mao said unhappily, "You are the same. If I were to cheat, I would point the bottle mouth towards you every time."
Half a minute later
Du Yuanzhe looked at the mouth of the bottle facing him and said quietly, "Teacher Han, am I innocent?"
Han Jinghao smiled awkwardly: "Accidents, all accidents. Let me ask you a simple question."
Zheng Xiao was blocked before he could even open his mouth.
Han Jinghao thought for a moment and said, "What was the thing about your ex-girlfriend that you couldn't stand the most?"
Du Yuanzhe smiled. This question was indeed very simple. He said, "I don't have an ex-girlfriend."
Han Jinghao was surprised: "You have never been in love before?"
Du Yuanzhe nodded.
He certainly didn't talk about it before, he's just talking about it now.
Zheng Xiao's eyes sparkled and he smiled, "It's no wonder that Teacher Han was surprised. I also find it incredible that Yuanzhe has never been in a relationship despite his good conditions."
Du Yuanzhe said calmly: "It's nothing incredible. If you don't meet someone you like, you won't fall in love. Could it be that Brother Xiao likes to fall in love casually?"
Zheng Xiao said: "Of course not."
Zheng Xiao's eyes were filled with gloom. Du Yuanzhe would never suffer any loss and would always say something sarcastic every time he was targeted by him.
Game continues.
Maybe Zheng Xiao was dancing too happily, so this time it was his turn.
Han Jinghao said, "Let's go back to the question I asked Yuanzhe just now. What is the thing you can't stand most about your ex-girlfriend?"
Zheng Xiao's expression froze instantly, and he once again suspected that Han Jinghao was deliberately teasing him.
His expression changed again and again, and Zheng Xiao gritted his teeth and said, "I accept the punishment."
Han Jinghao wondered: "What's so unspeakable about this?"
Du Yuanzhe had a stomachache from trying so hard to hold back his laughter. Han Jinghao is just awesome.
Liu Xu has been collecting negative information about Zheng Xiao recently, and Du Yuanzhe now knows Zheng Xiao very well.
One year after Zheng Xiao debuted, the sister-in-law incident broke out. Although there was no cheating involved, it is taboo for idols to fall in love. Zheng Xiao's popularity was at a low point during that time. If he hadn't happened to play a likable role and hadn't had a strong public relations team, he might have been forgotten.
Han Jinghao asked him this question in front of the camera. How could Zheng Xiao possibly answer it? He wished everyone would forget about it.
There is no need for Du Yuanzhe to add insult to injury. Once this segment is aired, netizens will definitely dig up this part of his past.
But that is a matter for the future. Right now, Du Yuanzhe is watching Zheng Xiao doing push-ups with great interest.
Du Yuanzhe even suspected that Han Jinghao had a grudge against Zheng Xiao, and every move he made was hitting him in the lungs.
Zheng Xiao is not as good as he was in the previous press conference. He couldn't hold on after doing five.
Yang Zhong said, "This push-up is too difficult. I can only do 20 push-ups normally. How about reducing the punishment?"
At first glance, Yang Zhong seemed to be kind-hearted, but the obvious contrast between twenty and five made Du Yuanzhe feel that Yang Zhong was not that kind-hearted.
Han Jinghao looked bewildered: "Is thirty a lot? I can do them all."
As a talented singer, Han Jinghao still insists on exercising every day to keep himself in the best condition. Thirty push-ups are nothing to him.
Feng Mao said angrily, "Don't compare yourself to me. How can I say that I can't do even one push-up? Your thirty push-ups are really too difficult. You should change the punishment."
Hearing this, Zheng Xiao didn't bother doing the sixth push-up and stood up immediately.
Han Jinghao asked, "Then what do you want to change?"
Feng Mao glanced at Zheng Xiao and thought that Zheng Xiao looked so weak that physical punishment would be difficult for him.
Feng Mao thought for a moment and said, "It's just a game, don't take it too seriously. Then let's punish Ah Xiao by asking him to sing two more songs for us in the evening. They must be his new songs so that we can enjoy them in advance."
Han Jinghao curled his lips and said nothing more.
To be honest, when he saw how weak Zheng Xiao looked, he didn't believe that he could sing well at all, and he probably couldn't even hit the high notes.
Zheng Xiao knew that Feng Mao was helping him out, so he said quickly, "I'll listen to Teacher Feng."
No one else said anything, but they had to give Feng Mao face.
Feng Mao spun the bottle again: "One last round, we have to get back to work."
As soon as he saw the mouth of the bottle pointed at Du Yuanzhe, Zheng Xiao was angry and wanted to get back at him, so he immediately said: "Yuanzhe has the best family background I have ever seen. People in your circle don't need to bear financial pressure. Do you just want to eat, drink and have fun every day?"
Having just been forced to lose face in public, Zheng Xiao's mind was filled with those words mocking him on the Internet, and he hated Du Yuanzhe even more in his heart.
Zheng Xiao's performance was too obvious, and everyone could see that he was targeting Du Yuanzhe. Even Feng Mao frowned. Zheng Xiao's performance was really bad. He openly targeted his co-stars on the show.
Du Yuanzhe remained calm and said, "It seems that Brother Xiao just finished doing push-ups, and the lack of blood supply to the brain has affected his memory."
Zheng Xiao's eyes were slightly cold: "Yuanzhe can't say this on purpose just because I asked more directly, right?"
Du Yuanzhe said, "Just now Brother Xiao said that my family background is the best among all the people he has ever met. Have you forgotten your General Jiang? Compared to General Jiang who has already taken charge of the Jiang family, I am nothing."
When it comes to Jiang Chelin and Xia Ningmi's status, it is no longer a simple comparison of family background, they have already made a name for themselves.
Du Yuanzhe didn't look at Zheng Xiao's expression and continued, "And I have to remind Brother Xiao that stereotypes are not good. I have many friends who have started companies and are exhausted by their clients every day. They have no time to eat, drink and have fun."
Zheng Xiao asking this question now is just like what he did before when he said Du Yuanzhe was a resource-rich guy. He is simply trying to take advantage of netizens’ hatred of the rich.
Of course Du Yuanzhe couldn't answer his question accordingly.
Zheng Xiao's brain was quite quick, and he retorted: "What Yuanzhe said is only a minority, right?"
Du Yuanzhe said: "Even if it is only a minority, it is real. We, the hard-working people, cannot be misunderstood by some stereotypes, otherwise it would be so unfair."
He had no intention of changing the reputation of the rich second generation, as long as his reputation was not bad.
Zheng Xiao was speechless and had to admit that he had underestimated Du Yuanzhe.
Wei Lingling interrupted the somewhat awkward atmosphere: "When I was in college, I felt that Yuanzhe could join the school debate team. No matter what others said, he could always find a point to refute it."
Feng Mao smiled and said, "Ah Xiao, you must learn from this lesson. If you want to debate with Yuan Zhe, you must be well prepared in advance."
Zheng Xiao walked down the stairs: "I will definitely be ready in the future."
The biggest difference between humans and monkeys is that humans have self-control, but people whose heads are filled with anger are no different from monkeys. Zheng Xiao just did that, completely ignoring the existence of the camera.
Or maybe he is confident that he can convince the program crew not to broadcast the parts that are unfavorable to him.
......
Next, Feng Mao asked the people whether they wanted to pick peaches or go fishing. They didn't have fishing rods, only fishing nets and forks, which meant that inexperienced people would probably not be able to catch any fish.
None of the new guests knew how to fish, so they could only pick peaches. Feng Mao took them to pick peaches, while Han Jinghao and the other two went fishing.
Each of the five people carried a bamboo basket, which they would use to hold peaches.
Feng Mao reminded: "The program team will not help with the transportation. Lingling, you two should put less peaches on your shoulders, or you will not be able to carry them."
There are straps on the bamboo baskets so they can carry them on their backs, which is always easier than holding them in your arms.
You Yingxue said: "Teacher Feng, how much do we need to pick to get the ingredients for dinner?"
Feng Mao said: "The program group set the price at 40 kilograms of peaches for 1 kilogram of pork, 60 kilograms of peaches for half a kilogram of beef, and 30 kilograms of peaches for 1 kilogram of vegetables. There is no difference. This is the price for any vegetable. If we want to feed the eight of us well, we need at least 150 kilograms of peaches."
One hundred and fifty kilograms? ! !
Du Yuanzhe and others were frightened.
That's a lot for just one meal, and they have to record here for two days and one night. How many peaches do they have to pick?
Du Yuanzhe asked: "How many kilograms of peaches can this bamboo basket hold?"
Feng Mao said: "Thirty kilograms."
Wei Lingling said: "That means each of us has to fill up."
Feng Mao smiled and said, "We can do it within our capabilities. We can make more trips, and Korea should also get some benefits."
Du Yuanzhe asked: "Teacher Feng, do we have to exchange breakfast with the program team tomorrow?"
After hearing this, Wei Lingling and the others' faces changed.
This means that 150 kilograms of peaches are not enough.
Feng Mao was afraid that they were too desperate, and originally wanted to remind them later, but he didn't expect Du Yuanzhe to bring it up. He nodded and said, "Yes, we have to prepare the peaches needed for tomorrow's breakfast today, but we don't need 150 kilograms, 70 or 80 kilograms will be enough."
All together it would weigh more than 200 kilograms.
Several people were about to faint.
I've heard that working on this variety show is very tiring, and today I finally experienced it for myself.
After following Feng Mao for 20 minutes, they finally reached the foot of the mountain. Zheng Xiao asked, "Teacher Feng, didn't you say that Taolin is not far from where we live?"
It took us twenty minutes to reach the foot of the mountain. Is that not far?
Feng Mao smiled and said, "In the countryside, a twenty or thirty minute walk is not considered far."
Zheng Xiao was speechless.
Fortunately, the mountain is not high. After walking for ten minutes, they saw a peach forest. At a glance, the whole mountain was full of peach trees.
Feng Mao said: "Because of policy support, several villages near this mountain mainly make money by selling peaches."
When Du Yuanzhe saw the mountain of peaches, he guessed that only profitability would attract people to do it.
However, the government was afraid that too many people would affect sales, so it only allowed a few villages near the mountain to plant peach trees. Villages could then sell the trees to state-provided dealers, or they could find ways to sell them themselves.
Nowadays, the live broadcast industry is well developed, and many people sell things online.
These have little to do with Du Yuanzhe, his current task is to pick peaches.
This mountain is planted with peaches. Now is the season when peaches are ripe, and you can see peaches scattered on the ground.
Feng Mao glanced at the ground and said, "It looks like some villagers have come to pick peaches. Most of the peaches that fell on the ground have been picked up by them. We have to pick them ourselves."
Du Yuanzhe felt it was a pity. If there were more peaches on the ground, perhaps they would only need to pick them to get the peaches they needed.
Feng Mao said: "The hair on the peach is very uncomfortable when it touches the skin. Wear gloves and remember not to touch your face during this period. Let's hurry up and work, we have a heavy task today."
After saying this, the few people dispersed.
Du Yuanzhe put on gloves and came to a peach tree. Peach trees generally do not grow too tall, so he can pick quite a few peaches with just a stretch of his hand. As for those that he could not reach, he just ignored them. There were peach trees everywhere here, so there was no need to compare himself with those peaches.
Du Yuanzhe held the branch with one hand and picked the peach with a little force with the other hand. He glanced at his long-sleeved shirt and was very glad that he was wearing long sleeves, otherwise his arms would definitely become itchy when they touched the peaches.
The peaches here are all pink and quite large. Du Yuanzhe held them in his hand and felt that four of them would weigh at least one kilogram.
Du Yuanzhe put the peaches in a frame, walked around the peach tree and picked the peaches one by one, then went to the next peach tree.
He had just taken a few steps when he saw Zheng Xiao. He was carrying a bamboo basket on his back and tossed each peach he picked into the basket. This was actually very convenient, but it was easy to break the peaches.
These ripe peaches were very soft, and Du Yuanzhe didn't even dare to pinch them with his hands. If Zheng Xiao hit them like that, they would probably become very ugly.
Du Yuanzhe took just one look and then looked away. These peaches were bought by the program crew and it was not the villagers' turn to suffer losses. There was no need for him to meddle in other people's business.
Zheng Xiao also saw Du Yuanzhe, but he just snorted coldly and said nothing. Picking peaches was the most important thing now. If Feng Mao failed to complete the task because of him, he would definitely be dissatisfied with him.
