Chapter 51: The village chief is very busy, so pay is another matter.
On the first day of filming, the director team was very friendly to the guests. Except for the Cheng brothers and sisters who were tricked, everyone else got a good rest.
It was not until the evening that the director team presented the challenge projects for the next day.
[A happy life depends on your own hands, immersive experience of rural life]
"What does this mean?" The Chu siblings who had received the challenge project looked at each other and said, "The director team won't provide meals, right?"
Today's lunch and dinner were prepared by the director team. If the director team stops providing meals starting tomorrow, what will they do in this small mountain village?
"Yes, we will not provide meals from now on. The guests will have to take care of their own meals." The director team explained.
"Can I buy things from the villagers?" Zhong Qihan, who had received the challenge project, asked, "Shouldn't there be any restrictions on our own spending in the village?"
"We will provide you with special tokens to purchase items from the villagers every day. Apart from these special tokens, you cannot use other currencies for purchases. You can only purchase unprocessed vegetables, fruits, and meat. You will have to cook them yourself." The director team responded: "The accommodations provided by the program team all have kitchens with a full range of cooking utensils."
"What if someone can't cook?" Qin Siyang was a little worried looking at the challenge project in her hand. Her brother glanced at her and didn't say anything.
"Our program has a high degree of freedom, as long as it stays within the prescribed scope." The director team's answer was vague, but they didn't say much.
Qin Siyang lowered his eyes slightly and fell into deep thought, while Qin Muyu beside him said good night to the director team and closed the door.
"I know, I know." The Cheng siblings, who finally got the challenge project, closed the door without asking any questions.
For them, there is nothing that cannot be solved with money from childhood to adulthood!
The next morning, the Cheng brothers and sisters, who received the special tokens made by the program team, were stunned: "What is this?"
"This is the cost of buying ingredients for you." The program director further explained the rules.
"You didn't tell me yesterday?" Cheng Yue was stunned. Not letting them use their own money? How could this be possible?
"You didn't ask yesterday." The chief director said quietly, "I thought with your intelligence, this wouldn't be a piece of cake."
"Of course it is!" Cheng Ze nodded vigorously, thinking that such a small problem was no problem at all.
Watching the Cheng brothers and sisters fall into the trap, the director smiled subtly.
Otherwise, how come Xiao Kong can become the acting village chief at such a young age!
You are really good at judging people!
This is how this brother and sister should be treated!
On the other side, Qin Siyang got up early in the morning and used the tokens from the program team to exchange for eggs, flour and other things with the villagers. Before his brother got up, he made a big bowl of hand-rolled noodles and boiled a few eggs.
[Oh my god! Siyang is so awesome! I'd be so happy if I had a sister like her!]
[She's a good wife and mother who cooks a lot. Anyone who marries her is incredibly lucky!]
[When I have money, I will definitely buy a phone that can smell! ]
[Look at your little progress. When I have money, I will buy a phone that can eat the things on the screen! ]
As the barrage of comments in Qin Siyang's live broadcast room was flying, Qin Muyu also got up. After washing up, he sat at the table and started to eat breakfast. After eating, he cleaned the table, washed the dishes, and tidied the kitchen with quick movements.
While Qin Muyu was cleaning the kitchen, Qin Siyang went to clean up their bedroom.
It didn't take long for the brother and sister to tidy up their home, which won them unanimous praise in the live broadcast room. Some people even commented that they were role models of "children from poor families who grow up early".
There are also comparisons between Qin Siyang and his sister and other guests.
The Chu siblings exchanged milk, eggs and other foods that can be eaten after boiling with the villagers, and also exchanged some fruits. Chu Xiaoxiao only drank a glass of milk and ate half an egg in small bites, then said that she was full.
Chu Lizheng took the half egg left by Chu Xiaoxiao and threw it into his mouth, and netizens in the live broadcast room shouted that they envied their brother-sister relationship.
[If it were my brother, he would definitely be disgusted by my leftovers!]
【God owes me a good brother like Chu Lizheng! 】
[Chu Xiaoxiao really has a small stomach. She's full after just a little bit. Otherwise, she wouldn't be so thin. My weight isn't for nothing.]
[They get along so naturally. Compared to the dead-acting brother and sister, they are really comfortable.]
[Seriously hilarious! The two pretenders next door exchanged a bunch of stuff, but now they're completely clueless and no one knows how to cook, hahaha!]
Amidst the ridicule of netizens in the live broadcast room, many people went to the live broadcast room of Zhong Qihan and Zhong Yangyang's group. After entering, they found that it was just as netizens had said before.
The brother and sister were staring at the things on the table.
"Brother, you really can't cook." Zhong Yangyang was worried.
"There's a chef at home, a cafeteria at school, and boxed lunches on the set." Zhong Qihan didn't know how to cook, but he couldn't just watch his sister go hungry. "How about... I boil an egg for you first?"
"Then do you know what it looks like when an egg is cooked?" Zhong Yangyang didn't quite trust Zhong Qihan's cooking skills.
This raises Zhong Qihan’s blind spot.
"Or!" Zhong Yangyang's eyes lit up.
"No!" Zhong Qihan knew what Zhong Yangyang was planning as soon as he saw her expression: "I'll go boil eggs!"
Zhong Yangyang pursed her lips and watched Zhong Qihan carry something into the kitchen.
When Zhong Yangyang entered the kitchen, she saw Zhong Qihan standing in front of the stove in a daze: "Do you know how to use this?"
"What do you think..." Zhong Yangyang said with a somewhat aggrieved tone: "Second brother, I'm hungry..."
Zhong Qihan felt a sense of defeat for the first time in a long time. After hearing the growling of Zhong Yangyang's stomach, he could only sigh heavily and turn to look at her: "Only this time."
"Yeah!" Zhong Yangyang immediately nodded vigorously, picked up a few things from the table and went out with Zhong Qihan.
After walking for a while, they arrived at the small courtyard where Kong Xiyan was temporarily staying.
"Village Chief!" Zhong Yangyang called out, "Are you home?"
"I'm here." Kong Xiyan opened the door and found Zhong Yangyang and Zhong Qihan standing outside.
Zhong Yangyang showed Kong Xiyan what she had in her hand, then smiled with a hint of unconscious coquettishness in her tone: "I'm hungry."
"Is noodle soup okay? Only the kind with vegetables." Kong Xiyan leaned against the door with her arms around her chest.
Zhong Yangyang's smile brightened upon hearing this: "I can do anything!"
Zhong Qihan followed behind Zhong Yangyang and glanced at Kong Xiyan with a hint of reluctance on his face: "Just this once."
From yesterday until now, whenever he and Zhong Yangyang were alone together, Yangyang never acted coquettishly towards him, let alone smiled so brightly!
"Tsk, you're no different." Kong Xiyan shrugged.
Zhong Qihan didn't understand what Kong Xiyan said at first, but when he saw the Cheng brothers and sisters in the yard, he understood.
It seems that Cheng's brothers and sisters had already come here.
"You..." Zhong Yangyang blinked. What were this brother and sister doing here?
"Integrate into rural life." Cheng Yue didn't think there was anything wrong with his behavior: "If you have any trouble, go find the village chief."
Cheng Ze on the side raised his chin with a smug look on his face.
These brothers and sisters are very intelligent people, how could they be stumped by a mere challenge from the program crew!
"What are you so proud of? After all, they brought their own food. You two came here empty-handed, so what's there to be proud of?" Kong Xiyan rolled her eyes at the brother and sister and poured cold water on them without any hesitation.
"Village chief, how about we give you all the tokens, and then you just need to take care of our meals." Cheng Yue looked at Kong Xiyan: "We are your villagers now, too. You can't let us starve, right?"
"I'm busy too!" Kong Xiyan spread her hands.
"I'll transfer 100,000 yuan to you. Just don't let us brothers and sisters go hungry. This doesn't count as buying food from the villagers. This is my personal labor fee for you. Please note that it's a voluntary gift!" Cheng Ze didn't think that a problem that could be solved with money could be called a problem.
"No matter how busy I am, I can't let my lovely villagers go hungry!" Kong Xiyan immediately changed the subject: "Everyone sit down and wait, I'll put an extra free-range egg in each of your noodles!"
"Second brother!" Zhong Yangyang immediately winked at Zhong Qihan, and told them to do the same, so that they could come to see their sister every day!
She will definitely let Zhong Qihan know how good Kong Xiyan is!
Zhong Qihan had a stern face and was unwilling to bow to Kong Xiyan.
It’s just cooking. If he works hard, he might even be talented!
[Look! The dead pretender is back again!]
[I really don't know what he's so arrogant about! I'm really fed up with him!]
[The other family members at least paid for it, so what did he do? He just sat there with a stern face pretending to be deadpan while eating for free!]
[I'm so annoyed, can you please just ask him to get out of here?]
