Given the current global rainfall situation and the near certainty of drought in the second half of the year, the Qinghe Alliance, after discussion at a meeting, decided to mobilize the public to work together to store vegetables for autumn and winter.
Therefore, Qinghe TV invited two groups of guests, each group consisting of an agricultural expert, a wilderness survival expert, a chef who can cook anything, and a popular child star. The four of them took turns exploring the mysteries of nature every day.
To put it simply, every morning the four of them draw lots to choose a direction, and then set off in that direction until they encounter a mountain or a forest.
The four entered the mountains and forests, led by a wilderness survival expert who shared wilderness survival tips and reminded them of things to be careful about.
Agricultural experts then told everyone the names and uses of the plants they encountered, and most importantly, whether these plants were poisonous or not, and whether they were edible, such as wild vegetables, wild fruits, flower petals, wild mushrooms, and edible tree leaves.
The junior chefs are responsible for collecting edible plants; they collect anything that can be eaten, without worrying about whether it tastes good.
As for the minor celebrities, they acted as logistics support staff along the way, running errands, carrying sacks, and so on.
Once they had collected enough, the group returned to the studio the way they came.
This is where the little stars come in handy. Under the guidance of the little chefs, they clean the ingredients, take out a portion of the ingredients, and have the little chefs prepare the food according to different methods before inviting agricultural experts and wilderness survival enthusiasts to taste it.
Both of them always give fair and objective evaluations, and do not blindly praise each other.
The young celebrity explained to everyone on screen that the most important thing right now is to collect ingredients, and taste can only be considered in a secondary position. Everything in the program must be guaranteed to be authentic so as to give everyone correct guidance.
The implication is that I've already told you what's delicious, and whether you believe it or not is up to you. Moreover, whether you have the eye to collect as much as you can depends on yourselves. First come, first served!
After everyone had finished cleaning the food, the young chef took out the remaining ingredients and instructed everyone on how to make dried vegetables, which was the key point.
At the end of the program, the young star urged everyone to go to nearby parks or rural mountains to find edible ingredients, and called on everyone to hurry up and store food so that they could at least eat until the end of the year.
That's how "Finding Food in the Wilderness" works. The guests have to go out to find ingredients every day and teach the audience how to process them. They are very tired every day, but considering that they are like a weather vane, they grit their teeth and persevere.
However, it seems that "Foraging for Food in the Mountains" has not yet gained influence after airing for several days. At least Bi Qiaoan has not yet seen any ordinary viewers going out to forage for food.
After the show ended, it was already 11:30 PM, and Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan prepared to go out in the rain once again.
Unlike others who wait until almost midnight to leave the house, they always set off early to avoid people.
The next day, while the two were sound asleep, Shen Yanming's phone rang.
"Who is it?" Bi Qiaoan was grumpy when she woke up and reached for her phone in a huff.
Shen Yanming quickly silenced his phone. "It's Heping. Be good, you keep sleeping. I'll go see what's wrong with him."
Bi Qiaoan hummed in response and hid under the covers, ignoring her.
Shen Yanming tiptoed out of the bedroom, only to find that his door was being banged on loudly.
"Why did it take you so long to open the door? I've been knocking on it for ages!" Zhang Heping started complaining as soon as he saw Shen Yanming.
"What time is it? You're calling me and waking Qiao An up!" Shen Yanming was also a bit grumpy from being woken up. "What's the matter?"
"It's already 9:30 and you two are still asleep? Tsk, so lazy!"
Shen Yanming's face darkened, and he was about to close the door when Zhang Heping quickly stopped him. "Hehe, I had a bad mouth, my bad! I just wanted you to help me tidy up the house."
Shen Yanming pinched the bridge of his nose, put the key away, and followed Zhang Heping to 1601. Even though it was only a few steps away, Shen Yanming still asked, "Why did you need outside help to clean the house?"
Zhang Heping didn't say much, and directly opened the door to invite Shen Yanming in.
Seeing Shen Yanming's complicated expression, Zhang Heping slowly began to recount the story of the Song family.
After hearing this, Shen Yanming patted Zhang Heping on the shoulder sympathetically, "Every cloud has a silver lining. Maybe your uncle will thank you in the future!"
"How could that be? My uncle would definitely hate me to death. He's the kind of person who cares the most about his reputation!"
Looking at the new bedding laid out in the living room, Shen Yanming asked, "Where did you get all of this?"
Zhang Heping smirked, "Isn't it ironic? I called my aunt so many times, asking her to take Song Qingqing away, but she always said she was busy and didn't have time."
Zhang Heping stroked the bedding, "But look, as soon as the Song family had their accident, she was able to go to the mall to buy these bedding on the same day. If I hadn't been so busy with work, she probably could have delivered them to me that same day, and the Song family wouldn't have had to spend the night in the police station."
"And you, why did you come back today?"
"It's because my aunt keeps calling me and harassing me. I thought the hospital wasn't too busy these past few days, so I took leave and came back. As soon as I got off the elevator, I saw my aunt had piled things up at the door."
"Where are the old bedding?"
"My aunt took it back."
Shen Yanming chuckled lightly, "She will be grateful to you in the future, absolutely."
Zhang Heping looked at Shen Yanming suspiciously, but Shen Yanming didn't keep him in suspense. "You're lucky, kid. There are purchase limits now. If your aunt had been two or three days later, she wouldn't have been able to buy these things."
"So, I still benefited from the Song family's influence?"
Heh, heh, heh...
Afterwards, Shen Yanming helped Zhang Heping clean the bedroom and put the new bedding back under the bed and in the closet. "You should really put your mind to it and grow some vegetables at home. You said you wanted to grow some last time, but I haven't seen you do anything about it."
Zhang Heping sighed, "Do you think I don't want to? The hospital is packed every day, and I can't even go home."
"Then why did you come back today?"
"It's all thanks to the amazing energy rain. Those who were seriously ill saw immediate improvement after being caught in the rain, and those with minor ailments were able to be discharged the next day after just a little rain. There haven't been many patients in the hospital these past two days, which is why I was able to come back."
"You've been caught in the rain these past few days, haven't you? Anyway, take care of yourself."
Zhang Heping nodded, "If I didn't know, that would be fine, but once I experienced it, I couldn't bear to miss it. After being drenched in the energy rain for several days, even my occupational hazard of so many years has been cured."
Zhang Heping looked at the pot of blueberries he had brought from Shen Yanming's house; there were only a few berries left. He felt a pang of heartache. "If I had planted vegetables earlier, they probably would have ruined them too."
Shen Yanming patted Zhang Heping on the shoulder, "It's okay, I'll plant them with you in a bit."
Zhang Heping smiled and nodded, "If you don't help me, I'll just stay at your house."
