Chapter 54 Wen Yu's Purpose
Su Zi agreed with Wen Yu, "Yes, judging from the way this girl behaved, she is very sober. Forget it, her family affairs are none of our business. I hope the heroine of the story can get what she wants."
She briefly passed over the topic and put her thoughts aside.
The others also knew better and stopped talking about it.
"Su Zi, do you want to make the hot pot base yourself, or do you want to eat the one we bought at the supermarket?" Ni Ruoan came out holding a bag of hot pot base and asked.
"I'll do it." The fire in the small stove had been lit. Su Zi told Wen Yu to watch the fire. She took out the pork belly from the refrigerator and cut the fatter parts a little thicker. She put the meat into the pan and stir-fried it to release the oil. She then added the chopped tomatoes. After the tomatoes were fried to release the juice, she added the garlic sprouts and the peanut sprouts she had soaked herself, added the seasonings and water, and the hot pot soup base was ready.
"That's good. It's not spicy at all. I guess it doesn't suit your taste." Bai Youyou watched the whole process with her mouth slightly open. When did someone who can't live without spicy food change her taste?
"And there's dipping sauce." Su Zi covered the chili peppers they had dried themselves with some burnt corn cobs, and soon the smell of burnt chili peppers filled everyone's nose.
When the dried chilies were almost cooked, Su Zi took them out, blew away the ash on them, let them cool, then crushed them and added minced garlic, chopped green onions, pepper powder, soy sauce, vinegar and other seasonings.
Under everyone's gaze, she tasted the flavor on the chopsticks and nodded with satisfaction, "It still tastes familiar. Is the beef cut? If it's cut, then we can eat."
"How is this cooked?" Wen Yu had never seen such a way of eating before, and his face was full of curiosity.
"This is the local hotpot specialty. It's a pity that I didn't make fermented black beans, otherwise it would taste better with some." She and the original owner were born in the same place, but the original owner and Su Qibei moved to the city when she was seven years old and only came back occasionally.
Before she entered junior high school, she stayed in her hometown, and she also stayed at home during the holidays in high school.
Thinking of the original owner, Su Zi suddenly realized that after the talent show, the original owner never appeared again. She sometimes wondered if that day was her illusion.
Everyone brought the washed vegetables and cut meat to the table and placed a stove in the middle with hot pot cooking on it.
Su Zi put tofu and green vegetables into the pot, "Don't just stand there, use your chopsticks."
Wen Nai was the first to pick up the chopsticks, "Then I'm welcome!"
Picking up a piece of peanut sprouts with chopsticks, he dipped it into the sauce in the bowl. As soon as he took a sip, the unique taste of the hot pepper dominated his mouth.
This salty and spicy flavor is not like the ordinary hot pot base which has a heavy oily smell. Once the spiciness wears off, you can taste the flavor of the pot.
"Hmm~ so delicious." Wen Nai couldn't wait to pick up another dish with chopsticks and ate it with big mouthfuls along with the food in the bowl. The way he ate attracted others to pick up their chopsticks as well.
Even though the ingredients are simple, just some vegetables, beef, and tofu, no one feels it is monotonous at all. Half of the large pot of vegetables is quickly finished, and the tofu becomes more and more flavorful as it is cooked.
When Wen Nai was about to add his sixth bowl of rice, Su Zi stopped him and said, "Don't eat anymore. You'll get sick if you eat too much."
"I think I can eat a little more." Wen Nai looked at the tofu in the pot, feeling a little unsatisfied, but his stomach was indeed a little full.
"Okay, come and sit down. You'll be joining the crew soon. If you gain weight and can't appear on camera, you'll see how the director will scold you." Although Wen Yu said that, he still stubbornly put the beef in the bowl in his mouth and chewed it.
Wen Nai sat back next to Wen Yu, looking a little aggrieved.
"It's okay. Come back if you want to eat when we're not filming." Su Zi also put down his bowl and chopsticks. Bai Youyou on the side suddenly felt a little guilty because she was also going to join the crew.
"I used to think that rural life meant facing the loess and back to the sky. Many film and television works also portray rural life like this. I never thought it could be so leisurely." After stopping eating, Wen Yu was in the mood to chat.
"You're talking about rural life. We call this rural life. First of all, we don't worry about our livelihood like ordinary farmers. They farm not only for food, but also to make some money. Fortunately, our country has advanced technology and attaches great importance to agricultural development. We have invented many tools that facilitate farming and reduce the labor input."
"In the past, all these lands on the mountain needed to be cultivated and planted manually, which was quite hard work."
Xia Country also has related inventions, but they are much inferior to those agricultural machinery of Long Country. Long Country has already realized sowing with drones and remote-controlled tillage machines. They do not need to be held or turned on by people, but only require a control panel. Whether it is plains or mountains, the tillage machines can be easily controlled.
The most difficult thing to control is the weather. Excluding the impact of natural disasters, Longguo has achieved self-production and sales of all crops, without the need for imports, and even has surplus for export abroad.
Yuan Ren and his team compiled a rough list of what she needed to know about Dragon Country.
The first is agriculture, the second is medical care, and the third is industry.
A think tank was also set up for her, which, based on the general information she brought back, compiled many plans for her to make money in the entertainment industry.
There are people specifically responsible for everything, including advertising scripts and promotional copy.
After understanding her ambition to create a star, many related courses were arranged. Sometimes, when she woke up in Longguo, she would be in a trance.
She looked up a lot of information about agriculture. The more she learned, the more excited she became. She had already put a bunch of agricultural machinery and some seeds in her shopping cart. When the opportunity was right, she would place an order and take these things back.
"But won't you feel bored here? I've looked around here and there aren't many entertainment facilities. Most of the people are elderly and have children at home. It's only seven o'clock now and there are hardly any houses with lights on. You're all young people. Although such a life is leisurely, it would be boring, wouldn't it?"
"Why don't you just make a plan for the content of your current videos and sell the original copyright you applied for. You will make more profit from it." A hint of businessman's calculation emerged under Wen Yu's gentle face.
She came here with a purpose today. The entertainment company she worked for took a fancy to the filming content of Su Zi and her friends, and wanted her to coax Su Zi and her friends into selling the creative copyright at a low price, and then they would sell it back at a high price.
"Sister Wen Yu, I won't do anything that kills the goose that lays the golden eggs. We like our current life. No one controls us, and we do what we like. So I won't sell this plan. However, I have a new idea. I wonder if you are interested."
Wen Yu knew from Su Zi's resolute look that he was not easy to fool. The new plan Su Zi mentioned also aroused her curiosity. "Tell me about it."
"Sister Wen Yu, have you ever heard of those male celebrities who have become outdated for various reasons?"
"No." This circle is changing very quickly, and it is common for old people to be replaced by newcomers. She is an agent, and all she cares about is whether her artists can bring benefits to herself. Those people are never in her eyes.
"Do you think it would be interesting to see a show that invites these outdated stars to come on stage for a makeover?"
"Just like how we transformed Lin Mo."
Lin Mo is also very busy now. Not only has he received special invitations to variety shows, but the clips from his audition also brought him some scripts.
Wen Yu was stunned.
She also watched Lin Mo's live broadcast. As soon as the new look appeared, it immediately attracted the attention of many people, especially since Lin Mo himself had outstanding abilities. Many agencies had their eyes on him and wanted to re-sign him.
She also got the news that the artist who replaced Lin Mo had revealed something fishy, and the music program couldn't find a suitable person, so it was now begging Lin Mo to fill the spot.
There are many talented but out-of-date artists like Lin Mo. If we pick a few with good facial features and make some minor adjustments to them, the contrast will definitely bring a sense of freshness to the audience. Maybe these artists can even bring more profits after becoming popular again.
