Chapter 11: The smoked fish is gone too!
Off-camera, Tu Chaoxi remained completely silent.
He silently watched his sister, like a little frog, jumping around while cursing and defending him.
He didn't know why Tu Yao knew these things; all he knew was that, at that moment, his eyes suddenly welled up with tears.
For those fans he had wronged in the past, and for this unexpected act of protection.
Suddenly, I feel that this online backlash and Tu Yao's amnesia seem to have come at just the right time.
Seeing that she was getting more and more excited as she cursed, Tu Chaoxi quickly pulled her over.
"...Alright, alright, Tu Xiaomao, give me back my phone."
Tu Yao immediately looked at him with a wronged expression, "I'm trying to help you, okay!"
The cheap older brother doesn't distinguish between good and bad!
Tu Chaoxi was a little helpless. Chen Meiling was always very particular, and his reputation had already hit rock bottom, so he didn't care what happened to her. But Tu Yao was an ordinary person...
Chen Meiling was clearly furious on the other end of the phone. How dare a little fan point his finger at her and curse!
"What's your name! Believe me or not, I'll make sure you're ruined like Tu Chaoxi tomorrow!"
Tu Chaoxi's face instantly darkened. She grabbed her phone and said coldly, "She's my fan. If you have a problem, come at me!"
"You!" Chen Meiling was furious. "Do you still think you're the same Tu Chaoxi you used to be?! I was a little more cautious when you were popular, but what kind of arrogance do you have now?!"
Tu Chaoxi: "Then stay away from me and my fans, go and mentor your newcomers, and don't bother me unless it's absolutely necessary!"
After saying that, he slammed down the phone!
Turning his head, he saw that Tu Yao was still eager to show off her skills. He suppressed his laughter but couldn't help tapping her head.
Why are you arguing with her?!
Tu Yao covered her forehead, feeling wronged, and said, "He not only insulted you but also called your fans idiots! Insulting you is one thing, but why did he call me an idiot!"
Tu Chaoxi: "What do you mean 'it's fine if she insults me!' If she insults you, you don't just ignore it!"
Tu Yao: "I just ignored her! But that doesn't stop me from cursing her!"
Tu Chaoxi: ...
"Fine, fine, I can't argue with you!"
Tu Yao turned around angrily: "Hmph!"
Tu Chaoxi ruffled Chen Meiling's puffed-up head, then turned to consider if she could find something wrong with Chen Meiling to dissuade her from punishing the little fool.
Suddenly, I realized that the surroundings seemed eerily quiet.
Tu Yao also noticed it.
The next second, a familiar light suddenly appeared on my forehead.
[Progress bar update: 30]
Tu Yao: ? ? ? ? ? !
? ? ? ?
Little Daddy! Calling Little Daddy!!!
What happened?! It actually went up by ten!
110: ...See for yourself.
Tu Yao and Tu Chaoxi turned around and were both startled.
The dozen or so staff members in the room stared intently at her and Tu Chaoxi.
Directly in front, a device flashing red light was clearly operating continuously.
Tu Chaoxi looked surprised: "Wait, you guys are still live streaming?"
Shouldn't an experienced production team immediately cut off the live broadcast or change the topic of the broadcast when faced with such an emergency?
The director coughed excitedly. That's how it is for experienced people, but... well, he hasn't experienced many big scenes in his life, so he suddenly forgot.
Moreover... the director glanced at the live stream data and his head started spinning.
Wow, the number of online viewers has exceeded eight million! The screen is filled with a dense barrage of comments!
I've never seen such a huge amount of traffic in my life!
[I'm speechless! What kind of attitude is Chen Meiling?! This isn't a manager, this is a landlady! She squeezes Tu Chaoxi dry when she's useful, and kicks her aside when she's no longer needed.]
Whether you believe it or not, I believe it: Tu Chaoxi is at least somewhat innocent in this concert incident.
Seriously, just based on what he just said to Chen Meiling, "Come at me if you have a problem," I believe he's a true fan. And not all the information in that rich girl's diary is necessarily reliable.
[The young lady was also misled by her manager... Even if Tu Chaoxi was wronged about the concert incident, the second point about him calling the veteran artist an idiot is undeniable, right?]
[Whether you scold me or not, can anyone tell me who this cute little sister with her fierce expressions is?]
[I'm dying of laughter! I just caught up on the live streams from the past two days, this girl is totally my type.]
Tu Chaoxi calmly watched the comments, but suddenly felt a little dizzy.
His phone kept vibrating, with a constant stream of attention and private messages coming in from the back end. In just half an hour, most of his fans had returned.
He's not stupid; he naturally knows that this all stemmed from Tu Yao's "indentured servitude contract" comment that morning, which escalated into this verbal battle with Chen Meiling on camera.
In just one day, he miraculously cleared up one of the seven deadly sins that the diary had attributed to him.
The buzz was still rising, and Chen Meiling probably noticed it too, as she kept calling him.
Tu Chaoxi pressed the buttons one by one, turned around, and pulled Tu Yao into her arms.
“…You brat!”
Tu Yao sniffed and retorted angrily, "You're the one who stinks!"
Tu Chaoxi smiled, glanced at her phone, and saw that in addition to Chen Meiling, several other brand representatives had also called.
His silly sister's flurry of punches actually managed to tear a crack in his skin.
He couldn't miss the opportunity; he had to seize it.
Tu Chaoxi told the director, stepped out of the camera's view, and dialed those numbers back.
...
The director was in high spirits because of the good news. Seeing the data still rising, he immediately decided to get Tu Chaoxi a new, soft and comfortable quilt.
Tu Chaoxi was not there, but Tu Yao was still there, the director confirmed with unusual eagerness.
"You don't eat cilantro, you don't eat scallions, and you only eat one meat dish and one vegetable dish, right? Shall I ask the logistics team to give Teacher Tu another bowl of soup?"
Tu Yao was in high spirits when she was happy, and was exceptionally polite: "I'd like some radish soup."
"Okay, okay, okay!"
The director rubbed his hands together, looked around, and his eyes lit up: "Hey! Everyone's here!"
At the foot of the mountain, Wen Yu and Jiang Ye returned home one after the other, laden with their spoils.
Behind him followed Ma Zhiyuan, who was sneezing wildly with his hands empty.
The director glanced at him, suppressing the urge to cover his nose: "Teacher Ma, what's wrong with you...?"
Ma Zhiyuan's face turned pale. He never expected that these two taciturn people would find the place where he hid the ingredients. In the end, he was the only one who had nothing!
Then he won't even be able to change his blankets tonight!
Not only the cups, but also the toothpaste and toothbrushes were all taken away by the production team last night!
How can we record like this! He's acting like he's just giving up.
The director was in a dilemma. In all his years of making the show, he had never seen a guest fail to find anything at all.
He wondered if he could create a separate segment for Ma Zhiyuan and let him just find something to bluff his way through.
The problem is that all the ingredients he prepared today were with Wen Yu and Jiang Ye, and there wasn't a single one left.
The village chief and his wife, who went to purchase the supplies for the production team, will not be back for at least two days.
What should we do?
Tu Yao was receiving the basket that the staff had specially washed for her when she heard this, her eyes lit up, and she suddenly raised her hand.
"Ingredients? Anything edible is fine?"
"I still have some."
The director's eyes lit up.
I almost forgot, we have a little helper here. With this girl's skills, finding a few more herbs won't be a problem.
The director breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that Tu Xiaomao was simply his lucky star.
Her live stream data exploded as soon as she arrived, and Tu Chaoxi also showed signs of a comeback.
She still knows how to repay evil with kindness. Yesterday, Ma Zhiyuan had a fight with her, and today he stepped in her cow dung, but she doesn't hold a grudge at all.
Ma Zhiyuan's eyelids twitched, and when he glanced at the basket on her back, he felt a foul odor waft over again.
He frowned suspiciously. Was this brat really that kind of person?
Ten minutes later, Tu Yao led a group of more than twenty people through the back mountain and arrived at a dense wheat field.
When the wind blows, the wheat fields ripple like waves, creating a magnificent sight.
Tu Yao inspected the wheat with satisfaction; it was growing well this year as well!
Then he rummaged around and found a rusty sickle.
"for you."
Ma Zhiyuan: ...
director:….…
Others: ...
No one took the sickle, so Tu Yao tilted her head and threw it to the ground.
He called out casually, and Ding Dapang, covered in mud from playing, crawled out of the ground.
The two of them put their arms around each other's shoulders and ran off.
Tu Yao casually said, "By the way, I don't need to borrow your harvester anymore."
Ding Dapang scratched his head: "Why?"
Tu Yao pointed behind her: "I found a free sucker to help me."
Ding Dapang said "Oh".
It just so happens that Tu Xiaomao doesn't like driving a harvester; she prefers riding a tricycle!
The two quickly ran away.
The freeloaders and a bunch of staff are still standing there.
Ma Zhiyuan was so angry that his face turned pale, and his lips trembled: "No... Director! Is she crazy?!"
Director: "Uh..."
The director remained silent; she really did seem to be ill.
...
Although she lost a basket of cow dung, she solved the wheat problem, and the progress bar even increased. Tu Yao felt that today was a good day.
I decided to invite Big Fatty to eat the smoked fish she had dried that morning.
Ding Dapang couldn't bear to think about it; just thinking about it made his mouth water.
Tu Xiaomao's cooking skills are better than his father's. Ever since Tu Xiaomao came here, he no longer likes to eat his father's cooking.
He couldn't resist ordering: "Xiao Mao, I'd like to add a piece of smoked meat."
Speaking of smoked meat, Tu Yao gets angry: "Don't even mention it! A dog came to our village and took my meat last night!"
Tu Yao pushed open the courtyard gate and said generously, "But I can add two more pieces of fish for you!"
Anyway, she cooked a lot of fish, a whole big basketful!
Looking up, the entire roof beam was empty.
Tu Yao: ? ? ?
"Where's my fish?!"
...
On the mountain, Xu Chi looked at the basket of smoked fish at his feet, then at Langya sitting beside the fish, staring at him expectantly, and fell into deep thought.
After a while, he took out an indigo brocade pouch from his pocket, casually opened a drawer, took out a card, put it in, and tied it around the wolfhound's neck.
He said calmly, "Next time you go, leave the compensation behind."
