Gu Mo is writing the vegetable list.
"Brother Zhang, I'll write down all the types and quantities of ingredients I need to buy so you don't forget."
Zhang Jiakang: "Okay, I have a bad memory, and besides, a good memory is not as good as a bad pen."
"First, my sister-in-law suggested making a boiled shrimp dish. You can go to the nearby farmers' market and buy about a pound and a half of fresh shrimp. The current market price is about 30 yuan per pound.
The budget is 45 yuan.
Later I will stir-fry a Pingcheng stir-fried pork dish. You need to buy a piece of pork belly with pork skin and a piece of lean meat from the pig's front leg. The ratio is about 30% fat and 70% lean.
Liu said before that he likes to eat meat, so let's buy another pound of fresh beef."
Liu Bowen, who was standing nearby, took over the conversation: "Gu is right, beef is delicious, I like it too."
Then, Gu Mo glanced at the camera and said loudly: "Because someone in the program team is stingy and the budget is limited, we won't buy red wine or white wine."
Who is Gu Mo talking to? Don't worry, there will definitely be someone who can identify with him.
Before the director behind the scenes could refute, he heard Gu Mo give another red date and said, "Let's buy some drinks.
By the way, if the drinks you bought are not sponsored for the program, Brother Zhang, remember to tear off the plastic wrapping film so that the teacher doesn’t have to spend time and effort to photoshop it out later.
If beverage manufacturers want to be featured, please contact the production team immediately."
Zhang Jiakang didn't answer, but looked at Liu Bowen: "Bowen, you will come with me to buy drinks later. I am old and weak, so I will leave the difficult task of tearing the packaging film to you, a young and promising man."
Liu Bowen made an 'ok' gesture and said, "Just leave it to me. I'm quite capable. Don't worry, Brother Kang."
At this time, He Jiaqian also interjected, "Old Zhang, I forgot to tell you before, why don't you buy another sea bass and steam it? After all, a feast requires delicious fish and meat!"
When Zhang Jiakang heard his ex-wife's words, a big smile appeared on his face. He said, "Just put some meat filling and you can make dumplings."
"Okay, I promise to complete the task."
Gu Mo quickly wrote sea bass on the vegetable list.
After he finished writing everything, he read it again to make sure nothing was missed.
"Fresh shrimp, one and a half pounds.
One pound of pork belly with skin that is 30% fat and 70% lean, plus lean meat from the pork front leg.
One pound of fresh beef.
Two large purple eggplants and a handful of green vegetables.
Two tomatoes, a handful each of green onions, garlic sprouts, celery and coriander.
Two cloves of garlic and two pieces of ginger, about one pound of green and red peppers, and a packet of medium-spicy chili powder.
Ten eggs and one sea bass.
…
A pack of pre-cooked spicy snails that are ready to eat.
One bottle each of Wei Ji Xian and dark soy sauce, cooking wine and sesame oil, one packet each of Thirteen Spices and Spicy MSG, a small packet of sugar, and a barrel of rapeseed oil.
As well as drinks and snacks of various flavors, the total cost was about 700 yuan.
The labor cost budget is 500 yuan each for chef Gu Mo and He Jiaqian, 300 yuan for kitchen assistants Shen Ting and Ren Yage, 400 yuan for food purchaser Zhang Jiakang, and 250 yuan for worker Liu Bowen.
The total is 2,950 yuan. The program team budgeted 1,000 yuan, but they owed us guests 1,950 yuan.
Rounding it off, the program team owes the guests 2,000 yuan.”
Liu Bowen, who got 250 yuan, didn't know whether to be surprised at Gu Mo's boldness or to scold him for taking revenge and calling himself a 250.
The other guests didn't know what to say at this time.
"Oh right, Brother Lei said that before.
The program team will give a certain amount of reward as living expenses based on the guests' performance during the dinner preparation process. The director should not confuse it with other things.
That’s an added bonus.”
At this time, Li Lei also received instructions from the director-general.
"Gu Mo, the director just said that you guys made this dinner for yourselves, so why do you have to get paid? Just like when you cook at home, do you have to pay yourself?"
"Brother Lei, even though we are eating this dinner ourselves, we have worked so hard for it. We can't just satisfy our appetites, we also need to find spiritual satisfaction and sublimation.
More importantly, we have to work hard to satisfy the audience in front of the screen.
With this calculation, the director-general will have to compensate us for a certain amount of mental damages."
After Gu Mo appealed to her emotions and reasoned with her, he also threatened her: "What if, by some chance, Sister Jiaqian and I's cooking skills don't perform well, the audience loses their appetite, and the ratings plummet, then the loss will be even greater.
In this comparison, which loss can the director afford?
Just be frank, will you pay me or not?"
Li Lei couldn't make a decision in this situation.
At this time, he was just an emotionless game NPC.
Gu Mo pressed on, "By the way, Brother Lei, please tell the director that if he wants Liu Bowen or I to perform to liven up the atmosphere, he'll have to give us an extra performance fee, a discounted price of 500 yuan each.
If Brother Zhang doesn't participate in the discount, he will have to pay 5,000 yuan for living expenses for singing a song. If the three female guests perform, they will have to pay at least 3,000 yuan each.
We are the only ones who have good value for money.”
…
The other side.
The live broadcast room of "We Are Divorced" was very lively.
Netizens found it particularly interesting to see Gu Mo, who did not play by the rules.
Some office workers who were secretly watching the live broadcast seemed to be much happier as they felt the suppressed resentment that permeated the office was relieved.
[Gu Mo is so good at making a show, he's a natural at variety shows.]
[Gu Moyin and Liu Bowen are both 250, it makes me laugh to death.]
