Li Ruan had the wild boars line up, then answered Director Wang's question with utmost sincerity, "Exchange for points."
Director Wang: ...
Xiao Zheng is very clever. Every time Li Ruan comes to see Director Wang, his camera will be pointed at Director Wang without him noticing, and then he will record all kinds of expressions that make Director Wang's face look wild. After the previous two episodes aired, there were already a lot of his memes online.
Well, he's going to be contributing more memes again today.
"You, you, you, you, you, you, you must release these wild boars right now!"
Li Ruan waved her hand and refused: "No, no, no. These wild boars weigh at least 1,200 to 1,300 catties. If the four of us split it, each of us can get six or seven hundred points. If we release the wild boars, will you give me the points?"
Director Wang gritted his teeth. He never expected that a guest could catch something as big as a wild boar. He hadn’t brought a scale that could weigh three or four hundred pounds when he came to the island. Now this brat insisted on exchanging the wild boar for points. How could he exchange it for her?
Isn't this making things difficult for Fat Tiger?
"No replacement!"
Li Ruan stood up straight: "Director Wang, that's not fair. The mission says that any food found on the island can be exchanged for points or supplies. Are you saying these pigs aren't food?"
I'll have the pear.
Director Wang simply gave up, saying, "There's no scale! Because we don't have a scale big enough, how can I change it for you?"
Li Ruan clenched her fist at Director Wang, and Zhao Mei immediately spoke up: "Those two wild boars are too small. If we kill them, we can just eat them anyway. Let's set a price directly. You can charge him 100 jin. Is that acceptable to him?"
One pound of meat can be exchanged for two points.
Li Ruan glared at me fiercely, and Director Wang changed his tune again: "Four hundred jin! Even one jin is less! Take it or leave it!"
Shu Fenghua and her eight companions, who considered themselves to have gotten a small advantage, refused to give up. They had only asked for 400 more points so that they could exchange them for some usable supplies from the director over the next two days; the rest were just empty promises.
Director Wang, having lost his composure, turned around and ordered people to stop washing the pots and boiling water.
"How many staff members have been reduced from the island?"
Li Ruan looked at Director Wang with disdain and said, "You should have said so earlier! You could have just left this little problem to me."
[Zhao Mei, I promise you, you absolutely must turn the camera away! You absolutely must!]
But the first seven people got their money.
The assistant was overjoyed. I'm a true outsider, I've eaten pork and even seen pigs slaughtered, so I'm excited too. As soon as Zhao Mei gave the order, I went to work (to keep quiet).
Li Ruan shook her head: "Is that alright? Look at those two pigs, they don't weigh more than a thousand catties, a hundred catties is too little, you should just kill them!"
Director Wang: ...What is he joking about? Even if catching wild boars is illegal now, how can you actually kill a pig in front of the audience?
The pears were so soft that they had to be divided equally among the seven people.
Zhao Mei: "He wants to slaughter a pig on the spot?"
After the change was finished, the water here was boiled. When Director Wang came to the island to film the show, he brought a chef with him, and even two junior chefs. After all, the show was short of investment, so Director Wang was willing to make sacrifices for himself.
I always hear people talk about "pig-killing feast," and while I enjoy eating it, I won't be able to see it today!
"It's possible! Absolutely possible! At most 170 pounds!"
One pound of fruits and wild vegetables can be exchanged for one point.
"Director, why won't you change it for me?"
Before long, the amount of tips had already exceeded 300,000.
“You want to kill it too, but does he have a scale? Let’s kill it, cut it into pieces, and weigh it. Then we can stew it and eat it.”
Just let the pig lie down.
Director Wang: ...
The seven people picked less than 93 jin of fruit and vegetables, which earned them 63 points, totaling less than 2997 points.
Then the wild boar stopped howling and descended.
But thinking of the viewers in the live stream, who wanted to see the most realistic pig slaughtering scene, Li Ruan thoughtfully had someone find a rope to tie up the wild boar.
Pear Soft borrowed the chef's set of knives.
I gritted my teeth and thought, forget about the risks. Ratings are what matter, attracting viewers is the most important thing!
I have slaughtered pigs myself, but I also know that you have to scald the hair before slaughtering a pig.
What does he want to do?
The chef had put salt on the outside of the basin; if left for a while, the blood would coagulate.
I can't believe it!
The wild boar was only seen off-camera after the pig was scalded with cold water and its hair was removed.
As for the fruits, mushrooms, and wood ear fungus that the seven of us carried back, we simply left all the mushrooms on the ground to eat for the next two days. As for the wood ear fungus, that stuff can only be eaten before it's dried. With the dampness still in the air, we decided to exchange it all for points.
Just as I was about to agree, my assistant ran over and shoved a tablet behind Director Wang's eyes: "Director, Director, netizens are saying they want to see a pig slaughter! Look, the tips have already exceeded 200,000, and we're still continuing, and they've all made it clear that we'll make money as soon as we slaughter a pig!"
Unfortunately, many people in the live stream were asking to see the pig being slaughtered, so Director Wang could only point the camera at the wild boar.
So you lost 797 points.
The number of viewers in the live stream is decreasing. [Damn! Is that a place where you can't stream? The live stream will get banned, right?]
Director Wang was foolish; how could a small wild boar not smell as good as a big wild boar?
A wild boar weighing 1,777 jin (approximately 638 catties) was exchanged for 2,904 points.
When Li Ruan stabbed the wild boar in the small blood vessel, blood gushed out. Luckily, no one had placed a small iron basin on the boar's neck, so all the blood flowed out of the basin.
Director Wang immediately counted on his fingers, “There are a total of 87 staff members, but for your episode, we also assigned 70 conscripted soldiers to handle dangerous situations. Including you and your assistant, that makes a total of 77 people.”
Li Ruan nodded, "There are too many people."
When other families slaughter a pig, they need several strong men to hold it down and make it struggle, but you're just using force to slaughter it!
After all, these two pigs, though small, definitely weigh over 700 jin (350 kg). It's okay to suffer a loss; why would we expect to gain an advantage from Director Wang?
Director Wang almost coughed up blood!
[You're blocking me because you care, but what you really want to ask is, how did a young woman like Li Ruan end up butchering a pig?]
Are all young women these days so fierce?
Of course, those are all important points. The important point is that the number of viewers in the live stream is increasing at a visible rate.
Director Wang scratched his head in frustration.
"Including the guests, there are a total of 87 people. After slaughtering an 800-pound wild boar, there will only be about 700 pounds of meat left. That's enough for one meal for so few people. We can have another meal tomorrow, and it will be just a little less."
After thinking about it, Li Ruan still refused.
Of the seven people filming, two were quick to point their cameras at the busy people, so we joined in.
Director Wang picked up the tablet and glanced at it—what a rascal!
[Uh, you're obviously not new here. Even though you've seen Pear Soft slaughter pigs, you're a nobody, right? Is it expected that you'd know how to slaughter pigs?]
Zhao Mei immediately moved closer to you, "What did he say about how to do it?"
