Chapter 20 (Two in One)



Under the blue sky, beside the clear river, Yan Chaochao lowered her head. The breeze blew through the woods, gently blowing her hair and revealing her gentle eyes.

The entire picture has a 99.8% duplication rate with classical beauty paintings.

Of the remaining 0.02%, 0.01% was due to the fish in Yan Chaochao's hand, and 0.01% was due to Lan Hanying who suddenly turned into stone not far away.

Yan Chaochao was completely oblivious to Lan Hanying's shattered pride. She simply gazed at the fish in her hand, expressing sincere admiration: "Such a beautiful fish, whether braised or steamed, it should be delicious!"

The audience in the live broadcast room burst into laughter instantly.

[Yan Chaochao is right! This fish is indeed beautiful!]

Fish: Is it my fault that I'm pretty? I really would thank you.

Fish: Are you polite? Where is the trust between humans and fish?

I was so drunk and laughing that my mom rushed over from downstairs, thinking I had an accident.

[Although there seems to be no actual logical connection between this sentence, after listening to Yan Chaochao's words, I actually feel that there seems to be some truth to it (lost in thought)]

The program crew didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but when Yan Chaochao said this, the screen of Yan Chaochao's live broadcast room happened to record Lan Han who was standing next to him.

Therefore, the audience in Yan Chaochao's live broadcast room clearly saw the entire process of Lan Hanying's expression changing from confusion, confidence to doubt about life under the 4K high-definition live broadcast screen.

I laughed so hard that the rooster downstairs thought it was daybreak and started crowing again.

[Lan Hanying's expression changes, I really laugh every time I see it haha ​​...]

I almost couldn't stop laughing... Luckily I was quick enough to record the screen. Ying's expression was so good, I couldn't help but make it into an emoticon pack.

[!!! I'm afraid the one in front is a fake firefly! How can this image be made into an emoticon? Send it to me so I can criticize it!]

[Fireflies in front, squat down and raise your hands! Hand over your emojis and I won't kill you!]

[Hahahahahahahaha, I can hear your calculations from two kilometers away!]

***

The series of chain reactions just now were so funny that the netizens lurking in the live broadcast room were inspired and quickly produced a bunch of emoticons and posted them on the Starlight Blog. Unexpectedly, because these emoticons were too funny, they once rushed to the bottom of the Starlight Blog's hot searches.

You Yan Chao Chao affectionately stroked the fish in her hand, with the caption "The fish is so beautiful, of course I have to eat it."

There is a close-up of the fish, which is seen lying in Yan Chaochao's hand with a lifeless look, and the caption is "Is it my fault that I look good?", and there is also a caption that says "Salted fish lying flat".

There are also a series of changes in Lan Hanying's expressions, which were respectively accompanied by the words "confused", "happy", "shy", "terrified", and "life is hopeless" by the unscrupulous fans.

Among these emoticon packages, the most widely circulated one is the "Salted Fish Lying Flat" emoticon package.

A literary netizen made a sharp comment:

This meme, focusing on a fish, uses the fish to represent a person. It actually expresses dissatisfaction with work and is a silent resistance from workers to the blows of life. On the surface, it looks like a fish with no desire to live, but in reality, it represents every worker who is under the pressure and overwhelmed by life!

Under this comment, a group of netizens were dancing wildly with their freshly made emoticons.

[Excellent! (Lan Hanying likes this)]

[It makes anyone who hears it cry and anyone who hears it feel sad (Yuyu nods)]

[I agree with every sentence above (Yan Chaozhao does a somersault and makes a heart shape with his hands)]

With the popularity of this bunch of emoticons, the comedic qualities of Yan Chaochao and Lan Hanying have been initially recognized by the majority of netizens. The popularity of the emoticons has even attracted a lot of new audiences, who called it "wanting to see the final outcome of the working man Yu Yu."

***

After Yan Xixi and Lan Yuan argued for their reasons, the program team finally compromised and cancelled the unreasonable requirement for guests to exchange work points for props.

But in exchange, the program team also put forward a condition -

If the guests fail to catch any fish within half an hour, they will still need to use work points to pay a certain amount of prop rental fees, and the fees may be higher than before.

When saying this, the driver did not notice the hesitant expressions of the other staff members next to him.

When Lan Yuan heard this, Yan Xixi had already agreed decisively while he was still hesitating: "It's a deal!"

On the way back, Lan Yuan quietly turned his head to look at Yan Xixi and lowered his voice: "What if we don't catch any fish?"

Yan Xixi gave a mysterious smile: "Nothing will happen."

【There is really no chance】

[This is so funny! The production crew must not know how utterly insane Yan Chaozhao just did.]

I even began to wonder if there were any fish that slipped through the net in that river.

[This time it really is a literal “fish that slipped through the net” hahahahahahahaha]

"We're... here..." Lan Yuan saw two figures by the river from a distance. The words just came out of his mouth, but they were suddenly stuck on his lips. His eyes widened instantly, "This is..."

I saw that the two plastic buckets left by the program team were already full of fish. Some fish even swam quietly to the surface of the water, trying to "jump out of the bucket."

Lan Yuan subconsciously raised his hand and looked at his watch.

At this time, less than 10 minutes had passed since they got the props.

In an instant, Lan Yuan understood where Yan Xixi's confidence of "no such thing as a chance of failure" came from.

Almost at the same time, a large number of netizens entered the live broadcast room as the emoticon package became a hot search.

[Hot search check-in! Let me see what happens to the working fish! ]

[Hot search check-in +1 Hahahahaha, working people & working fish, originally they are one family! ]

[Hot search check-in +2, will the worker's fish be steamed or braised? All the details are here!]

[Hot search check-in +10086, so where is the working fish? 】

The drama-conscious netizens had just entered the live broadcast room and started to play with memes when they were horrified to find out that—

Oh my god!

With so many fish, which one is the working fish that is on the hot search?

In an instant, the drama-loving netizens who were attracted to the live broadcast room by the emoticons on the hot search were all caught in an unprecedented dilemma.

[SOS! How come there are so many fish? (Frightened)]

So which one is the real working fish...?

[Oh my god, this is a gold worker fish, and this is a silver worker fish. Which one is the worker fish I'm looking for?]

[Of course! Yan Chaochao praised the beauty of the working fish for an entire minute! Of course, it was the one with the best-looking scales!]

[I remember that the scales of the working fish reflect light in the sun! ]

[Every fish that touches water will have its scales reflect light in the sun...]

[That makes sense...]

Just when the netizens who were searching for the sightseeing group were confused, a witty netizen pointed out the mystery -

[Needless to say, every fish facing a fate beyond its control can be a working fish! Working fish is not just one fish, but a symbol of a school of fish!]

This sentence helped countless confused netizens to see the light.

[So… these fish are actually all migrant workers, so there’s no need to worry about which migrant worker fish Yan Chaochao is holding.]

【Master, I understand! 】

It turns out that we are in the midst of it, so we don’t understand its principles. (Amitabha)

[On the surface, this is just a working fish, but in reality, it is a philosophical proposition! ]

The audience who were originally in the live broadcast room were confused at first, but then the drama-loving netizens who came to watch the hot search enthusiastically explained the story of "Working Fish".

By the time Yan Chaochao and the others returned to the courtyard carrying two full buckets of fish, all the viewers in the live broadcast room had been assimilated, and their eyes were full of awe as they looked at the two buckets of fish.

At this moment, in their eyes, the fish in the two plastic buckets were no longer just ordinary fish!

They are——

Working Fish!

At this moment, the souls and characteristics of countless workers seemed to appear in these "working fish".

Look! That migrant worker trying to escape from the barrel is full of a rebellious spirit, refusing to be oppressed by the powerful, and is full of criticism and reflection on the 996 work schedule!

Look! That fish lying motionless in the bucket represents all of us who are crushed by unreasonable overtime and work pressure!

Look! That migrant worker fish still swimming between the buckets has clearly recognized the harsh reality, yet it still holds a high passion for life, trying to find hope and light in it. What a tragic and heartbreaking spirit!

[So great... Is this the spirit of working for Yuyu? ]

We've been with Dagong Yuyu for so long, yet we've only just grasped his philosophy today?

[…The way you treated the migrant worker Yuyu before, was it braised or steamed?]

[Needless to say? Sauerkraut, of course!]

【??? It's actually sauerkraut? The braised faction is dissatisfied and requests a fight!】

[Braised is nothing! Steamed is the real deal!]

[Damn it! You actually look down on braised food!]

[Heh, the Boiled Pie quietly watches you quarrel. Only the Boiled Pie is the only king! ]

[Hey... 2 minutes ago, you were all lamenting the miserable fate of the migrant worker Yuyu, and now you're talking about "eating"? This is too fast!]

[Needless to say, cooking and enjoying these miserable yet unyielding migrant workers well is the greatest care for them!]

[…So it’s hospice care?! ]

In the live broadcast room, the "braised" faction was aggressive, the "steamed" faction was not to be outdone, the "sauerkraut" faction was very powerful, and the "boiled" faction came from behind...

Just as the various schools and factions were arguing over their own tastes, Yan Xixi asked a question that made all the viewers in the live broadcast room subconsciously prick up their ears.

"How are we going to cook so many fish later?"

For a time, various schools and factions actively campaigned for their own tastes in the live broadcast room.

[Just look at the braised fish! The braised broth permeates the fish, soaking every wisp of fish flesh in the rich broth. Paired with rice, it's an unparalleled delicacy!]

Steaming is the right way to prepare fish! Without any unnecessary seasoning, using only the simplest cooking method, it brings out the fish's most essential and tender flavor. One bite and you'll feel like you've arrived in heaven!

[Hey, braised and steamed fish are nothing! Boiled fish is the ultimate destination for fish! Hot chili oil and sizzling chilies, all blended together, become that fiery topping, suddenly poured over the fish fillet, "clattering" sound, even the fish fillet curls up, that is the most wonderful taste!]

Of all cooking methods, pickled fish is the most unique! It draws on the strengths of various schools, combining the sourness of pickled cabbage, the spiciness of boiled fish, the saltiness of braised fish, and the freshness of steamed fish—all in one bowl. With just one chopstick, you can experience the flavors of braised, steamed, and boiled fish, enhanced with the unique sourness of pickled cabbage. It's the perfect choice for fish!

Amidst the rapidly scrolling barrage of vote-seeking comments, Yan Chaozhao stated his original plan without any hesitation.

"Of course it is..."

"Grilled fish!"

With so many fish, there is no big enough pot to braise, steam, boil or make sauerkraut fish, or you have to cook them many times.

What's more, in the end times, there are no such good cooking conditions. The only cooking method that Yan Chaochao can master is the simplest roasting.

After hearing Yan Chaochao's answer, "Braised Pie", "Steamed Pie", "Sauerkraut Pie" and "Boiled Pie" could not help but sigh in regret.

hateful!

I actually forgot about grilled fish pie!

At the same time, Grilled Fish Pie, who did not participate in the argument, accepted this unexpected gift with surprise.

[Hahahahahahaha, it seems that Yan Chaochao and I have the same taste]

【Sorry, thank you, thank you (laughing)】

[Oh, I didn't expect this. We haven't even started discussing it yet, and the fruits of victory have already fallen on the heads of our Grilled Fish Pie. How embarrassing (shy)]

[There is no way. Sometimes, excellence cannot be hidden. Just like the aroma and delicious taste of grilled fish, there is no way to cover it up.]

Regarding the "grilled fish pie" showing off, the audience of other cooking parties only had one thought:

Get out!

This damn Versailles!

The "working fish" that brought in traffic had not swam in the red plastic bucket for long before they turned into delicious grilled fish on the barbecue grill.

Before the audience in the live broadcast room had time to wail for the working Yu Yu, they were shocked by Yan Chaochao's skillful grilling movements!

Her eyes seemed to have a 360-degree field of vision. Every fish on the row of grills could not escape her sight. No matter how fat or thin the fish was, as long as the edges of the fish showed a slight tendency to burn, she would quickly flip it over.

More than a dozen fish were grilled at the same time, but not a single one of them showed even the slightest sign of being burnt.

Brush with oil, turn over, sprinkle with chili powder, pepper powder, pepper powder... A handful of chopped green onions and coriander fall from between fingers and are distributed on the entire row of grilled fish with almost impossible uniformity.

More than a dozen grilled fish were flipping on the grill. The aroma of cumin and chili gradually mixed into the aroma of the grilled fish as the grilling progressed, forming an extremely beautiful symphony.

Even through the screen, the audience in the live broadcast room were drooling.

[555555 I think it will be delicious just by looking at it]

[It's over! My resolve to be a boiled fish pie is being severely shaken...]

[??? Traitor! How could you betray the Boiled Pie family?]

[It's not that we're not resolute, it's just that the enemy is too cunning TAT]

I'm going to "Grilled Fish Pie" now. Is there a chance I can get a grilled fish? (Tears)

[You guys!!! Can you take me with you when you run away (humble)]

The audience in the live broadcast room were tempted to this extent even through a screen, not to mention other people at the scene.

***

Just as the grilled fish was about to come out of the oven, the other guests also dragged their tired bodies back to the courtyard.

Shen Yunxin was in a very upset mood at this time.

When Shen Yunran first brought this program to him, he originally disagreed.

There is no need for him to participate in such a program, and he has no interest in the entertainment industry at all.

However, no one knows what kind of magic potion Shen Yunran poured on his parents, and in the end, he not only convinced his parents, but also asked them to help Shen Yunran and persuade him to participate in this program. In the end, Shen Yunxin couldn't bear the soft and hard persuasion of the three people in his family, so he had to bow his head and agree.

But now, walking on the way back to the courtyard, Shen Yunxin was standing in the sun, feeling the sweat on his back, and still couldn't help feeling regretful.

If Shen Yunran hadn't asked him to participate in this show, he would still be staying at home, leaning comfortably on the sofa, drinking drinks and playing games.

They don't have to work like they do now, sweating profusely, probably not having enough to eat at noon, and then having to force themselves to go to other mission points in the afternoon to earn work points. Otherwise, they wouldn't have dinner.

Shen Yunxin was now hungry and tired, and just wanted to return to the courtyard as soon as possible to fill his stomach.

But Shen Yunran was obsessed with the persona given to her by the agency, and kept talking about wanting to create her own persona of a "gentle sister".

"Yun Xin, are you very tired? Do you want to take a rest?"

"Yun Xin, I see you're sweating. Let me wipe it off for you."

"Yun Xin, listen, there seems to be the sound of birds singing in the woods..."

"Yun Xin..."

"Yun Xin..."

This series of "Yunxin" calls made Shen Yunxin's already unhappy mood even more irritable, and eventually it reached the critical point of explosion.

Shen Yunxin couldn't stand it any longer and turned to look at Shen Yunran: "Can you please shut up!"

Hearing Shen Yunxin's words, Shen Yunran was stunned, his mouth wide open, staring blankly at Shen Yunxin, as if he couldn't believe what he said: "Yunxin? What's wrong with you?"

Shen Yunxin's face turned cold, and now he could see some similarities between his eyebrows and eyes with Shen Yunran.

"I just want to get back to the courtyard as soon as possible. I'm not in the mood to talk to you about this. If you have anything to say, let's talk about it when we get back."

Shen Yunran opened her mouth and was about to argue, but when she thought of the "gentle sister" persona that the agency had arranged for her, she reluctantly swallowed her anger.

So the audience in the live broadcast room saw Shen Yunran lowering his head in grievance, as if he was about to cry: "Then I won't say anything for now..."

Before the other audience members could react, Shen Yunran's fans were already going wild.

What does Shen Yunxin mean? If it weren't for Yun Ran, he wouldn't have been able to appear on the show. Now he's using Yun Ran's fame to appear on the show, and he's putting on a sour face. What's his meaning?

[I'm speechless. Shen Yunran, can you please stand up straight?! How can you still be bullied by your younger brother...]

[Shen Yunxin dared to be so mean to Yun Ran in front of the camera, so what kind of life would Yun Ran live at home?]

When I saw Yun Ran had a younger brother, my heart skipped a beat... When the family already had a daughter, they specifically wanted a boy as a second child. It's hard not to think too much about this situation...

[Now that I think about it...it's really scary!]

[Also, Yun Ran participating in a family variety show is strange in itself. In the past few years, Yun Ran never accepted variety shows. Why did he suddenly accept a variety show this year, and even brought his brother to the show?]

[Let me speculate on this conspiracy theory. Could it be that Yun Ran's family forced her to debut with her brother?]

【??? If this is true, then it is truly disgusting! 】

[…Stop it! Yun Ran, wake up and stop being a demon!]

***

At the same time, in an office of Shen Yunran's agency, Qingyun Entertainment, her economic team was conducting the final check on the marketing plan.

“Have all the marketing accounts been contacted?”

"Are the trending search terms ready?"

"Remember to go to the fan group and guide the fans' emotions before it goes viral."

"This trending search is crucial and plays a crucial role in shaping Yun Ran's character in this show."

"Only success! No failure!"

After a series of arrangements, under the attention of everyone in Shen Yunran's agency team.

Marketing plan.

start up!

In just 5 minutes, the term #沈云然thebestsisterintheworld# quickly became a hot search, and hundreds of marketing accounts purchased in advance immediately filled all the popular positions under the hot search term.

How gentle is Shen Yunran as a sister?

[The world owes me a gentle sister like Shen Yunran! ]

[55555A sister like Shen Yunran is so great! ]

Shen Yunran's agent, Sister Zheng, smiled confidently, "What do you think of the comments under the trending search?"

Just hearing her question, the office was silent.

After a while, the trembling voice of the operations assistant rang out: "Sister Zheng... Sister Zheng, why don't you come and take a look yourself?"

Sister Zheng frowned and immediately realized that something was wrong.

When she clicked on the comment section of the first popular post, she was flooded with the words "supporting brother demon".

I almost vomited after clicking on the entry. Is this what they call "sister-brother love"? It's clearly the sister's one-sided support for her brother!

[What gentle sister? This is clearly a brother-supporting demon! I refuse to glorify the behavior of brother-supporting demons!]

[I'm speechless. Normally, the agency doesn't do anything, but now they're frantically marketing Yun Ran's brother. I've seen through Qingyun Entertainment's disgusting face...]

"I'm almost crying. Qingyun Entertainment, you guys are so heartless! It's fine if you don't support Yun Ran, but why are you thinking of abandoning her and supporting Yun Ran's brother, who hasn't even made it into the entertainment industry?"

[Ugh! Even though I don't like Shen Yunran, I have to say that it's really miserable for Yunran to have to deal with this kind of agency...]

[Haha, the agency not only wants to suck Yun Ran's blood, but also wants to transfer all of Yun Ran's popularity to his brother? Give up! We Yun Duo will never be fooled!]

Sister Zheng: ???

What is wrong with this world???

The author has something to say:

After that, I will generally update at 12 o'clock every night. The rest of the time is usually to add more or revise the article~
