Chapter 38
"It's simply unbearable. I love spicy food so much. Let's go eat hot pot. I want to eat hot pot."
People who haven't eaten meat for several days are like hungry wolves at this moment. There is only desire for food in their eyes. They really hope to eat food in the next second.
Yan Liu: "Let's go, drive your car."
Ruan Nanzhi was surprised, "You drove my car here."
Yan Liu replied, "Yes."
Ruan Nanzhi and Yan Liu ran all the way and finally arrived at a hot pot restaurant.
The hot pot restaurant is decorated festively. It is noon and a weekday, so there are not many people eating hot pot and there is no need to queue.
The dishes came up one by one, and Ruan Nanzhi put them all into the pot.
The two of them ordered a table full of food, but didn't get to eat any of it, so they packed up a lot to eat in the evening.
Because she fell into the sea and rested for a few days, the crew had a lot of scenes to rush to complete. Now her work status is completely reversed day and night, and she has to make up for the scenes that she had not filmed before. Ruan Nanzhi is so busy every day that she has no time to take care of other things.
She finally reshot those scenes. She has been shooting for this drama for three months and it is almost finished. The final shot is not far away. Her agent arranged a travel variety show for her, which is completely different from the variety shows she had taken on before. It is just about eating and drinking!
Ruan Nanzhi said that the variety show the company found for her this time is pretty good!
The gathering place for variety shows is in Dali. Xiao Li booked plane tickets for Ruan Nanzhi and herself, and the two rushed to the filming location together.
After waiting at the airport for about half an hour and going through a series of procedures such as flight security, Ruan Nanzhi and Xiao Li were able to board the plane.
Ruan Nanzhi fell asleep as soon as she got on the plane. She felt a little carsick until the flight attendant woke her up. "Ma'am, your meal."
The flight attendant was talking to Xiao Li. Just as Xiao Li was about to bring food to Ruan Nanzhi, she woke up.
Ruan Nanzhi had just woken up and was still a little dazed until she saw the flight attendant handing her the meal. "Ma'am, here's your meal. Would you like something to drink?"
Wanting something to drink, Ruan Nanzhi looked behind the flight attendant, where there was Coke, coffee, Sprite, and orange juice.
Ruan Nanzhi's mouth was a little dry, "I want a glass of orange juice!"
It was great that there was lunch on the plane, Ruan Nanzhi thought, she was just hungry.
Lunch was potato and beef brisket rice. The beef brisket was stewed hot and the rice grains were distinct. It was very delicious and went well with the rice.
Then the flight attendant fed us some snacks, and we could have more orange juice after we finished it. All in all, it was a very pleasant flight.
After getting off the plane, special staff came to pick them up.
Ruan Nanzhi and Yan Liu reported that they were safe, "I got off the plane."
Yan Liu immediately replied, "Be careful, and take more pictures of Erhai Lake and Jade Dragon Snow Mountain."
Ruan Nanzhi: “Yeah.”
After about ten minutes' journey, the car stopped and we arrived at our destination.
When Ruan Nanzhi got off the car, she saw a homestay decorated in a pastoral style. The scenery looked nice from the outside. There were many flowers planted inside, and there was also a swing, which was very beautiful.
From the moment she got off the car, staff from the program crew were filming her.
Ruan Nanzhi instantly switched to work mode. She went to the swing and swung for a few minutes. "This swing is nice and fun."
Someone immediately responded, "This isn't the first person to come in and play on the swing. Is it possible that all girls can't resist the swing?"
Speaking of which, Ruan Nanzhi was the third one to start swinging on the swing as soon as she came in.
Ruan Nanzhi knew the person who was talking, but she had only seen him on TV. The production team said that they had found eight people to participate, but they did not give her the list of names of participants. She didn't know who would participate in the variety show, and she was not prepared at all.
When I entered the house, I found someone familiar. Coincidentally, that person was Gu Moji.
Before coming, her agent said that she came to this variety show purely for eating, drinking and having fun, but she didn't expect Gu Moji to be there too.
It’s always better to have someone you know than to have no one.
Ruan Nanzhi was the second to last to arrive at the filming location. She walked into the room with a bright smile and said, "Hello everyone!"
The other six people all welcomed her, but she only knew one of them. How she wished she knew the last one! When the last person arrived, her heart finally died because she didn't know him either.
Everyone was there, four men and four women in total. They started introducing themselves. But after all, they were in the entertainment industry, and they were all actors with works broadcast, so they still knew each other's names.
Her suitcase was a bit heavy, so she carried it up the stairs by herself. After only a few steps, she was intercepted by someone else. The person who intercepted the suitcase happened to be Gu Moji. He had long legs and reached the second floor in just a few steps.
Ruan Nanzhi followed behind him and took the suitcase with great tact. "Thank you!"
Gu Moji: "You're welcome. The girls' dormitory is on the east side."
Ruan Nanzhi: “I understand.”
The rooms were for two people. Ruan Nanzhi came to the last room and her roommate was the last one to arrive.
She looked cute and playful in a pink dress.
Ruan Nanzhi packed her luggage and Yuan Tong came in.
She was carrying the suitcase and put it down, "It's so heavy!"
She greeted Ruan Nanzhi, "Hello!"
Ruan Nanzhi also responded, "Hello."
At the beginning, the two of them were a little green towards each other.
After the greetings, the atmosphere between the two was a little awkward. Ruan Nanzhi started to make small talk, "I've seen the TV series you starred in."
Yuan Tong paused packing her clothes and said enthusiastically, "I've also seen the TV series you starred in, and you even won an award."
There was no topic to talk about, and Ruan Nanzhi couldn't think of one no matter how hard she racked her brains.
Yuan Tong took out a bag of dried mango rice from the suitcase and said, "Here you go."
Ruan Nanzhi originally wanted to refuse because she didn’t eat dried mangoes very often. But in the end, she accepted it because it felt awkward to refuse others.
Dried mango is a well-known brand and is very popular in China, but Ruan Nanzhi has never bought any snacks from this brand.
Seeing her accept it, Yuan Tong urged her, "Try it! It's delicious."
Seeing this, Ruan Nanzhi could no longer hesitate, so she opened the package, took out a piece of dried mango and bit it.
The dried mango was not as sweet as Ruan Nanzhi had imagined. Instead, it had a refreshing sweet and sour taste. To be honest, it was quite delicious.
Yuan Tong took out a few more bags of snacks and placed them in front of Ruan Nanzhi.
The snacks were too much, and Ruan Nanzhi finally chose to refuse, "No! That's too much."
"Not much!" Yuan Tong said, "Eat it! These are delicious."
In the end, Ruan Nanzhi accepted the snacks.
Someone downstairs was shouting, "Come down and gather."
Ruan Nanzhi: "Let's go!"
Yuan Tong: "What are you going downstairs for? Are you going to eat? I'm a little hungry."
Ruan Nanzhi: "You'll know when you go down."
"Walk."
Ruan Nanzhi and Yuan Tong went out and down the stairs one after another. At this time, there were already six people downstairs. They were the only ones who were still talking in the room. These were the last two to come.
Eight people sat on the sofa in the living room, chatting with each other.
It was exactly 5:30 in the afternoon and everyone was a little hungry.
The program team started the cue process.
“There are vegetables in the kitchen, and everyone can cook their own food.”
Someone asked, “Do you cook for yourself?”
The host nodded.
Chen Dong was the first to come forward. He was a cheerful person who could chat with anyone without any distance. He asked directly, "Who can cook, and make delicious food? Raise your hand if you can."
There were eight people present, and three raised their hands.
There were two women and one man who raised their hands. In addition to Ruan Nanzhi, they were Yin Yu and Wang Xinyue.
Chen Dong continued, "Since you all raised your hands, then the three of you will cook. Each of you can make two dishes, and the rest of you can prepare them. Is this okay?"
There are eight people in total, so a lot of ingredients are needed for the meal.
Chen Dong: "Then let's start preparing!"
Several people worked together to prepare the dishes available in the kitchen, washing and cutting them. It was very lively and everyone was busy together.
Yin Yu asked: "What dishes do you cook?"
Ruan Nanzhi looked at the ingredients and said, "I'll make shredded potatoes and stir-fried pork with peppers!"
Then Wang Xinyue said, "I'll make tomato and egg soup and fried ham!"
Finally, Yin Yu nodded, "Okay."
He added, "Then I'll make braised pork and mapo tofu!"
Ruan Nanzhi: “Okay!”
After more than ten minutes, the other six people had prepared all the ingredients, and the only thing left was to stir-fry them.
The three people who were cooking processed the ingredients in turn, and Ruan Nanzhi was the first one to cook.
After cooking, she sat at the table and waited for others to finish cooking.
Dish after dish was served on the table. Judging from the appearance, they looked very delicious, but I wonder what they tasted like!
After a while, it was the last person's turn to cook.
A few minutes later, all six dishes were placed on the table and it was time to eat.
Yin Yu smiled and said, "Everyone, come and eat!"
After he said this, everyone started eating.
As soon as everyone took a bite, someone started praising the food.
“It’s delicious!”
“It’s delicious.”
“It’s reached the point where we can open a store.”
…
Ruan Nanzhi felt a little embarrassed. With everyone praising her, she felt like she was some kind of amazing chef.
Ruan Nanzhi also started eating. Among these dishes, apart from the ones she cooked herself, her favorite was the braised pork. The braised pork was stewed until it was soft and tender, and it was tender in the mouth, with alternating fat and lean meat. In short, it was very much to Ruan Nanzhi's taste.
She prefers to eat meat, and even cannot live without it. She cannot eat pure vegetarian food, but her parents like to eat vegetarian food very much. Her family often teases her and always prepares extra meat for her.
After dinner, everyone started to work again, some washed dishes, some wiped the table.
Finally, the eight of them were divided into dormitories, with two people working in groups to clean the place every day. This means that different people would clean up the dishes every day, and everyone would take turns.
No one had any objections.
Ruan Nanzhi felt that the atmosphere of this trip was pretty good even before it started, at least there was nothing wrong with it for now.
Ruan Nanzhi returned to her room and saw a bunch of snacks on the table. She opened one of the packages and was instantly conquered. It was delicious.
Ruan Nanzhi looked at Yuan Tong with eyes that lit up. "Can you send me the link to the snacks you gave me?"
