"We're back. Fatty, you take a rest, I'll turn the soil." Li Xiang, Huang Xiaoming, and Zhang Yixing returned from finding food and saw Li Yinsheng turning the soil by herself. Liu Yifei and Zhao Liying were also busy with their own things. Huang Xiaoming quickly went forward to take over from Li Yinsheng.
Li Yinsheng wiped the sweat from her forehead and didn't refuse, saying, "Okay, you can come. Have you found anything good to eat?"
As she spoke, she stood up and stretched her aching back.
"Hey, Fatty, we're really lucky! We cleared out the hole you used to bait, and after the tide went out yesterday, we didn't expect to find a surprise inside."
"A two-pound eel, two two-pound wrasses, a one-pound grouper, a one-and-a-half-pound ribbonfish, plus a bunch of small shrimp and crabs, that's enough for us to have a good meal!" Li Xiang said excitedly.
"We grilled the eel and ribbonfish, and boiled the shrimp, crab and clams all in one pot."
As for those fish, I'd like to trouble you, Teacher Li, to make a smoking rack so we can smoke them and save them for later." Li Yinsheng quickly made the arrangements.
They all got back to their own tasks.
Li Xiang was busy making a grill for smoking fish. The grill was simple to make; it was just building a stove with a vent underneath to ensure a stable fire and smooth smoke exhaust. It was a skilled job that required patience and meticulousness.
Li Xiang adjusted the fire while observing the fish to ensure they were evenly grilled. He also turned the fish occasionally to prevent them from burning due to overheating in certain areas. As time passed, the aroma of the fish gradually filled the air, mingling with the fragrance of the wood to create an indescribably delicious temptation.
Huang Xiaoming wasn't idle either. He took the hoe from Li Yinsheng and started turning over the soil.
Li Yinsheng helped Liu Yifei prepare wood ash, scattering it on the ground after turning it over, and then turning it over again to cover the ash.
Then, we dug a hole and planted seedlings of cucumbers, eggplants, cowpeas, peppers, and other vegetables one by one.
After filling a wooden bucket with a certain proportion of wood ash, Li Yinsheng added some water and used it to irrigate the newly planted vegetable seedlings.
Zhang Yixing and Zhao Liying were in charge of preparing breakfast. The six people in the camp were all busy with their own tasks, creating a warm and harmonious pastoral scene.
Sunlight filtered through the sparse clouds, dappling everyone and adding warmth to the busy yet orderly scene. A gentle sea breeze carried the salty scent of the ocean and the fresh fragrance of distant flowers and grasses, making one feel relaxed and happy.
Viewers of the live stream started leaving comments and sending messages via live chat:
"Wow, this is the life I've always dreamed of! Self-sufficient by the sea, I'm so envious!"
"The leader is really fast at turning the soil; he does a great job with the physical labor!"
"The fat girl uses wood ash to fertilize the vegetables; this is currently their best option!"
"Are Yingbao and Yixing preparing breakfast? It looks so delicious, it's making my mouth water!"
"The sea breeze and the sunshine feel like they've healed my soul."
"This kind of life is truly meaningful. I hope you persevere to the end and win the championship!"
As netizens engaged in heated discussions, the live stream's popularity continued to rise, and more and more viewers supported Group A by watching their live stream.
The show "Survival on a Desert Island" has even spread to several other Asian countries, and comments from people from other Asian countries appear from time to time in the live stream.
........
In Hengdian World Studios, at a film crew's location.
"Boss Yang, go ask the 'Survival on a Desert Island' production team if they need any guest stars. Could you arrange for me to join?" Li Xian had also watched the largest desert island survival variety show in China. The show had become a hit across the internet and even spread to Asia in just four days. He thought the show was very interesting and wanted to give it a try.
Surviving by finding food, catching seafood on the beach, growing vegetables on a deserted island, and living with the sea, blue sky, and jungle, you experience a real survival challenge. Fighting side by side with your teammates and facing the various challenges of nature together is a great feeling.
More importantly, he found the chubby girl in Group A very interesting.
Li County's agent, Yang Tianzhen, secretly pondered that this program, which uses survival as a challenge and has no script or behind-the-scenes manipulation, has already attracted the attention of countless viewers. If his artists could participate, it would not only increase their popularity but also establish a brave and resilient image in the eyes of the audience, which would be of great benefit to their future development.
Upon hearing this, Yang Tianzhen nodded, patted Li Xian on the shoulder, and said, "You really know how to pick shows! 'Survival on a Desert Island' is all the rage right now, and so many people are scrambling to get on it."
Let me ask around for you. But you also need to be mentally prepared; I might not be able to get you in. If you do get into the "Survival on a Desert Island" program, it's no joke—it's a real survival test, not just posing in front of the camera.
Upon hearing this, Li Xian smiled confidently and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Yang. Once I've made up my mind, I won't give up easily. If you're capable, you'd better get me into Group A."
"You've got your eye on the chubby girl's luck." Yang Tianzhen had also watched Survival on a Desert Island, so he naturally knew that Group A had produced a lucky amateur contestant.
Although the popularity of this amateur contestant is not as high as that of other celebrity guests, the chubby girl is very unique in both appearance and personality. She is also very capable, genuine, and a graduate of Tsinghua and Peking Universities, making her very likable.
The chubby girl's popularity is soaring, and it won't be long before she's on par with top celebrities and can compete with the other stars invited by the show.
"You have a sharp eye. You want to ride her coattails and become famous yourself." Yang Tianzhen also liked the chubby girl, not only because she was as fat as him, but also because he liked her authenticity.
"Mr. Yang, you can't say that. I just feel that the atmosphere in Group A is very good, warm and cozy. Seeing everyone in Group A working hard towards a common goal gives me a sense of accomplishment and belonging."
I've also watched the other groups' live streams, and I always felt that they lacked the chemistry and cohesion that Group A had. In Group A, whether it was discussions about finding food or casual chats during breaks, you could feel that closeness; the atmosphere was great.
“Okay, I will do my best to help you get a spot in Group A, but you also have to promise me that once you get into Group A, you must go all out and prove to me with your strength and attitude that you have not chosen the wrong path,” Yang Tianzhen said seriously.
