Although the mushroom warehouse is at the foot of the mountain, it is only relative to the orchard. It is actually only halfway up the other side of the mountain.
From a distance, it looks like several small warehouses sitting side by side.
Only when you get closer can you see that each warehouse is actually not small, but it is more like a greenhouse than a warehouse.
Unlike the brightness of the orange orchard, it is obviously darker and more humid here.
Zhao Mei and others entered the warehouse under the guidance of the person in charge.
Inside are tightly packed racks with mushroom bags densely packed together.
At this time, there are already many mushrooms on the mushroom bag, which looks quite cute under the dim light of the warehouse.
But the smell is really not very pleasant. The smell of thousands of mushroom bags gathered together can only be described as earthy and fishy.
Zhao Mei's sensitive nose instantly became her biggest weakness, and she felt dizzy and dazzled after staying there for a short time.
I had to ask the person in charge for two thick masks and put on two layers so that I could continue the tour.
Compared to the simplicity of harvesting oranges, harvesting mushrooms is more troublesome. Everyone watched without blinking as the person in charge demonstrated how to harvest, and after learning for a while, they all started to get started.
No matter how interesting a job is, it will become mechanical if it is repeated, even if it brings a good harvest.
However, we didn’t stay in the mushroom warehouse for long. The mushroom picking experience ended after two hours.
The harvest was finally over, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Qiao Qiudie even patted Zhao Mei on the shoulder and said, "Meili, look at my hands. They're really numb from constantly picking them. I even spent the whole morning picking oranges. If I can hold my phone steady when I go back today, I'll be a winner."
Zhao Mei looked at Qiao Qiudie's hands. Although they were still clean, they were slightly trembling and red, and she couldn't use any strength.
"I can't help it. It's all hand-wasting work, but it's almost over. I'll go back and put on some plaster later."
Qiao Qiudie withdrew her hand and rubbed it fiercely: "I guess we still have to see the processing department. Didn't Director Yu say before that there was a batch of dried mushrooms?"
Zhao Mei nodded: "Almost. Visiting is always more comfortable than harvesting here."
While we were still chatting, the person in charge in front had already led everyone out of the warehouse and headed to the processing room.
After going through the process and the program crew recorded some materials, the day's process was completely over.
The group finally set out on their return journey.
Although this time is not as serious as last time, I am still exhausted both physically and mentally.
Especially Min Yuanliang and Luo Shuang, Zhao Mei even turned back to take a look. The two people who were originally energetic and arrogant now looked like eggplants hit by frost, lazily hanging at the back of the team and moving slowly.
Although the others are stronger than yesterday, their strength is still limited.
Li Teng and Xi Jia no longer had the heart to play around, and Qiao Qiudie could only speak to him occasionally. As a middle-aged man, He Xingwen was exhausted from following them all the way and kept wiping his sweat.
However, Tao Pingfan, who made Zhao Mei worried yesterday, is in much better condition today. At least he is no longer weak and exhausted from heatstroke.
After finally returning to the yard, several people lined up to take a shower and then started to compete to apply medicine. Due to the soreness all over the body, no one even had the mood to check their phones.
They just sit on the sofa or chair and stare blankly, and some even fall asleep leaning on the sofa.
If there were no programs scheduled for the evening, everyone would probably be fast asleep in bed by now.
At this moment, Yu Chen happened to push the door open with full energy, and what he saw was this decadent scene.
When the eight people heard the noise at the door, they all looked up and looked at Yu Chen expressionlessly.
Yu Chen felt a little embarrassed by being stared at, so he cleared his throat and said, "Ahem, good evening, everyone."
A few people said sporadically, "Hello, Director."
Although the atmosphere had cooled down, time waits for no one and today's arrangements cannot be delayed, so Yu Chen could only continue speaking.
"You all have important product promotion tasks tonight. I will give each of you a product selection document for tonight, which also includes a short test paper."
"As I said before, before each live broadcast, there will be a small test for the day's selection. If everyone passes, the live broadcast will be of normal length. If one person fails, half an hour will be cut off, so keep up the good work."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Qiudie couldn't help but grumble to Zhao Mei, "Isn't this just the legendary useless mini-game in variety shows?"
Zhao Mei was amused by this sharp remark: "Alright, it's not easy for them to come up with a way to play. It's not difficult anyway. Everyone is so tired. At least I didn't bother you. Come on, let me guess what you're doing."
Just as she finished talking to Qiao Qiudie, Zhao Mei received a folder from the production team. She opened her own and found it was much thicker than she'd imagined, with over twenty items to choose from. She couldn't help but frown. If everyone had so many, wouldn't they be able to finish talking? Shouldn't they be forming teams?
Yu Chen quickly agreed with her idea: "For the first official live broadcast of selling goods, the program team has divided everyone into two groups. Those who have oranges in their folders are in the orange group, and those who have dried mushrooms in their folders are in the mushroom group. Team members can get together to discuss."
"The products sold by the two groups are completely different, so there's no competition. If you're willing, you can all discuss it together. The official live broadcast will begin in three hours, so everyone hurry up."
Zhao Mei turned to her first page and found that it was Mushroom. She asked the rest of the people and found out that she was in a group with Li Teng, Xi Jiamin and Yuan Liang, while Qiao Qiudie was in a group with He Xingwen, Tao Pingfan and Luo Shuang.
Although I don’t understand the basis for the program team’s grouping, time is tight. Instead of wasting time worrying about things that have already been arranged, it is better to do important things first.
After the two groups got together, they took the opportunity to open up and discuss the highlights and shortcomings of the products, and tried out the samples from the pile brought by the program team.
"These potato chips are delicious! Spicy and oily, and very crispy, but a little salty."
"These dried apricots I have here are also good, fresh, sour and sweet, without pits."
Although the program team has conducted preliminary screening of these more than 20 products, they cannot guarantee that every one of them is delicious.
There will still be issues with palatability, such as the unique flower jelly. Zhao Mei and Li Teng accepted it well, but Min Yuanliang and Xi Jia wanted to vomit when they smelled the flower fragrance. This needs to be specially noted and informed to the audience, just like the mushroom crisps at that time.
The eight people were busy preparing for the live broadcast in the evening. The two young masters and young ladies were also very serious. Although they didn't understand, at least they didn't make any trouble and just did what they were told.
In this atmosphere of serious preparation, the evening live broadcast time soon arrived.
In order to avoid disturbing each other, the two groups were divided into two groups, one upstairs and one downstairs.
Each group of four sat together, facing the camera, waiting for the live broadcast to begin.
