Monet wanted to say no, mainly because she was tired of eating it.
Even the most delicious food can't withstand eating it every day.
However, she dared not say this, firstly because there weren't many ingredients to choose from, and secondly because she wasn't the one cooking.
Someone like her, who can put out a fire just by looking at it, is lucky to have anything to eat. What if she gets angry with Ningning by being picky?
Therefore, to keep Sang Ning in a good mood, she readily agreed.
So, for breakfast, the two of them ate roasted yams and boiled eggs.
Add a side of cold purslane salad.
Sang Ning ate with great satisfaction, while Mo Nainai ate with a blank expression.
Seeing her like this, she laughed, "Doesn't it taste good?"
"···"
Mo Nai Nai was eating cold purslane salad. Compared to the bland boiled eggs and roasted yams, the purslane was a bit too strong for her, but it was oily and salty. Sang Ning had also used boiling hot oil to stir-fry wild chilies, scallions, and ginger, which brought out the aroma and spiciness, making the flavor quite rich.
She ate with great enjoyment.
Upon hearing Sang Ning's words, her heart skipped a beat, and she looked up at him with a surprised and uncertain expression, saying, "What do you mean? I didn't say it was bad. I ate it quite well."
Sang Ning was speechless. "I didn't mean anything by it. You really don't need to be suspicious of me for not cooking. I just really feel that I have no appetite for this kind of food every day."
Mo Nai stared at her for a long time, as if trying to determine whether she was telling the truth or lying, while Sang Ning let her look.
Finally, she breathed a sigh of relief, and her expression relaxed as she said, "I can't think like that. In a place like this, having something to eat is a blessing."
Sanning, "···"
Forget it, we can't agree on anything.
"Let's eat, then we can get back to work."
Monet hummed in agreement, and the two silently finished their breakfast before getting back to work.
I miscalculated. I thought today was for making bed boards or something, but it turns out it's for carving.
What is this sculpture? It looks like some kind of animal.
"Simple strokes depicting auspicious flowers in full bloom."
Sang Ning saw the special effects comments, and without looking up, she replied with a comment while continuing to work on her hands.
The tools were really not handy, and the carving process wasn't smooth, but it was usable, just a bit slow.
But it doesn't matter, she doesn't need to rush.
What is the "flower of wealth and honor"? What type of flower is it?
One audience member couldn't help but ask a question out of curiosity.
Sang Ning paused for a moment before saying, "The flowers in 'Blooming Flowers of Wealth' are peonies, but there are no peonies left now."
Peonies are a flower with strong regional characteristics. When the ecological environment of Blue Planet is normal, only peonies in Luoyang and Heze grow well. If you want to grow peonies in other places, you need not only experience, but also careful care.
Otherwise, I'll kill myself in a heartbeat.
When even survival is difficult, it's even harder to grow well.
The blue planet we know today...
It became a planet with an extremely harsh ecological environment, and peonies died out many, many years ago.
Therefore, the Moikaz universe no longer has Peony.
The impression that intelligent life has of peonies is probably the line from the poem, "Only the peony is truly a national beauty; when it blooms, it graces the capital city of Tokyo."
However, the general public only knows that something is beautiful, but they don't have a direct impression of how beautiful it is.
Before the audience could react to the fact that Sang Ning was carving a peony, Mo Nainai exclaimed with delight, "Ningning, you've seen a peony before?"
Yes, she had seen it; she had even seen the Peony Banquet.
I've seen both common and rare peony varieties.
But can one say that?
Absolutely not.
"I've seen colorful pictures of peonies."
She exclaimed in amazement, "It's really beautiful. Words like vibrant color and magnificent can describe peonies. The flowers are also large, and they are said to be very fragrant, hence the reputation of 'King of Flowers'."
At this point, she looked at the simple peony she was carving in her hand and sighed, "I don't have any suitable tools or dyes, otherwise it would have been nice to reproduce the colored picture I saw back then."
[You can even replicate things? Oh, I get it, it's about basic survival knowledge from humans on planet E72, right?]
So, if you have the right tools and dyes, you can create a peony painting?
Is this for real? I wonder if we could crowdfund to get the production team to make an exception and send Ningning a set of professional tools.
[It's unlikely to work, but you can ask the person in charge first.]
So, the person in charge was called.
Upon learning of the audience's request, the person in charge was troubled; he couldn't make that decision on his own, but—
[Please wait a moment, everyone. I'll go ask the director.]
[Okay, okay, manager, go quickly, we'll wait for your good news.]
While Monet was sanding the bed frame, she kept an eye on the live stream. She originally wanted to tell Sang Ning the good news, but she swallowed the words back.
The main question is whether the production team will agree. If they do, we'll let Sang Ning know in advance, and she'll be happy.
But if the production team refuses, then all our hopes will be dashed.
This is so ridiculous, it really messes with Sang Ning's mentality.
Thinking of this, she looked away from Sang Ning and decided to wait for the person in charge to reply before talking to Sang Ning.
As a result, they waited for more than half an hour.
Sang Ning had finished carving a single peony flower, and the person in charge finally responded belatedly.
He said regretfully—
We apologize, everyone, but the director has rejected the suggestion to provide Sang Ning with a separate tool.
Upon receiving this reply, Monet sighed, knowing full well what was going on.
Fortunately, she didn't tell Sang Ning in advance, which would have disappointed him.
After a brief silence, the audience asked the person in charge about the specific situation.
[Person in charge, why did the director refuse?]
Actually, it wasn't the director who refused; the accurate statement was that the planner refused. The planner's exact words were, "No, there are many contestants with special skills, and Sang Ning is not unique."
Agreeing to give her special access to tools means the production team can't refuse other contestants who need skill-related tools, which violates the rules of the survival show.
After Manager Luo posted this comment, the audience fell silent and had nothing more to say.
They were only thinking about seeing the peonies, forgetting that this was a survival show on a desert planet. The rules of the show were set long ago, and the rules would not be changed unless there were strong external interference.
With such a large investment in the program and a bunch of big sponsors behind it, the production team can't afford to ruin their own reputation or unconditionally fawn over the audience.
So, saying more is useless.
When it's impossible to make rules, following the rules is the right thing to do.
There is another way: the audience can crowdfund to become one of the show's sponsors, which would give them some of the power to modify the show's rules.
There have been similar examples in previous survival stories on desolate planets.
But as I said before, Sang Ning is not worth them going to such lengths right now.
That's all for now.
Whether or not to go this far in the future depends on Sang Ning and his team's performance.
