Chapter 209 The Last Mission
Xu Ying broke the bone and said, "In three months, I can chew the bone into a hornet's nest."
"Mongolian herders traditionally believe that bones covered with mycelium can treat arthritis, and there are previous reports of Mongolian doctors using it to treat fractures."
"It wasn't stopped until one of the patients' bones were eaten through."
"The most amazing thing is..."
She breathed on the bones. "The spores of the bone-eating fungus can lie dormant in the desert for half a century, waiting for some unlucky person, like Teacher Yao, to dig it up and come back to life when it encounters water."
Xu Ying's popular science of little-known facts made everyone shudder.
[This isn't trivia, this is a ghost story!]
[Fuck, this kind of fungus is so hard to kill!]
[These guests spent their days not completing their regular tasks, but instead coming up with a bunch of other bizarre and outlandish things.]
In addition to rare mushrooms such as bone-eating mushrooms, Yao Yingzhe's basket also contained 132 grams of Chinese delicious mushrooms, which were worth 13.2 points.
Ming Xueying's basket was light.
87 grams, equal to 8.7 points.
She pursed her lips and glanced in Jiayao's direction from time to time, as if trying to find some comfort from others.
Ming Xueying doesn't dare to do anything now. She just wants to finish the show quietly, get the money and go back to the city, and not ruin her image again.
The character she worked hard to build for a year and a half was destroyed in less than a day and a half. The show "Rules of Survival in the Desert" really taught her a lesson.
Finally, there is Jiayao.
In his basket lay two wilted little mushrooms, weighing less than 30 grams in total.
"29 grams." Xu Ying reported the number calmly, "a total of 2.9 points."
Jiayao's face was as shrunken as a mushroom.
[Pfft, Jiayao still owes 2.1 points.]
[When will this debt be repaid? There's also the debt of gratitude owed to Webmaster Xiao Xu!]
[Webmaster Xiao Xu's arm was so badly bruised, it's a good thing he didn't fire this rebellious employee.]
The mushroom picking session ended, and the five unfortunate employee guests could finally eat with their points.
Under the scorching sun, the white tents of the program crew cast a rare shade on the Gobi Desert.
Points tycoon Jiang Mohua used 20 points to redeem a big plate chicken meal.
The big plate of chicken was golden and shiny, with the belt noodles soaked in soup. Three baked buns were stacked next to it, and a few black sesame seeds were sprinkled on the crispy skin.
Yao Yingzhe spent 15 points to redeem pilaf, the rice grains were distinct, and carrots and raisins were dotted in between, paired with a glass of ice-cold beer with water droplets condensing on the wall of the glass.
He drank his beer and sighed, wanting to utter some profound life philosophies, but after making eye contact with Xu Ying, he went into silent mode and ate his meal.
The fried pork noodles that Ming Xueying exchanged for 10 points were quite large, with a thick layer of green and red peppers and mutton slices. It was so spicy that she had to wipe the sweat off her face while stuffing it into her mouth.
After the last round, Ye Jie exchanged all her points for three braised chicken drumstick snacks to fill her stomach. She didn't expect that after working hard for an hour in this round, all her efforts would be wasted.
Watching the three guests enjoying the food.
But she was not alone. There was nothing in front of Jiayao and her. Ye Jie immediately felt much better and encouraged herself: "At least I don't owe any debts!"
"I just ate two and a half chicken drumsticks, so I'm not particularly hungry now."
Jia Yao, who was already starving, glanced at her speechlessly.
At this moment, the curtain of the tent was suddenly lifted, and the staff brought plate after plate of mushroom dishes to the table.
The aroma of mushrooms can easily take your soul away.
The assistant director, holding a small megaphone, announced, "This is the culmination of everyone's hard work this morning. The production team has invited a local chef to prepare a mushroom feast for everyone!"
“Everyone gets a share!”
The eyes of the guests present, especially Ye Jie and Jia Yao, lit up.
Xu Ying, who had already eaten her boxed lunch, was also looking forward to it. Although she had been working in the desert for half a year, she had never tasted the delicious Chinese mushrooms.
Several jars of steaming mushroom delicacies were placed on the long table.
The cream of mushroom soup is fragrant, the soup is pearly white, and it is dotted with browned mushroom pieces; the mushrooms fried with wild onions are sizzling, the mushroom slices are charred and fragrant, mixed with the spicy taste of sand onions.
The most special thing is the stone-roasted mushrooms brought into the tent. They are baked on red-hot stone slabs and sprinkled with coarse salt to lock in the fresh mushroom juice, which is mouth-watering.
The five guests were all staring in amazement. The assistant director asked the staff to hand Xu Ying the tableware first: "Let's invite Mr. Xu to taste it first!"
"Thanks to Boss Xu for his cool move today and for carrying the entire game!"
Everyone in the tent applauded.
Xu Ying smiled embarrassedly, took a small bite of each of the three dishes, and then he never stopped eating with his chopsticks. It was indeed a "Chinese delicacy"!
As fresh as the first spring rain, and as smooth as the juice bursting from solidified fat.
The mushroom aroma is distinctly layered, with pine wood smoke as the base, and high-temperature stir-frying brings out the nutty and meaty aroma, with a hint of honey sweetness at the end.
The most amazing thing is the aroma from the wok: the boiling oil stir-fries the garlic and makes it spicy, the mushrooms absorb enough oil and fat, the delicious flavor explodes with a sizzling sound, and even your teeth can taste the wild aroma of pine needles dried by the sun.
Everyone watched as Xu Ying's chopsticks were about to leave an afterimage, "Boss Xu, please leave some for us employees!"
Ye Jie squatted on the side, holding her face and looking eagerly: "We employees have to make a living in the afternoon."
——"OKOK, take one last bite!"
Lunch ended with delicious food and laughter. Two o'clock in the afternoon is the hottest time, so the program team also gave the guests some rest time.
Wait until the sun is not so strong.
Boss Xu struck the gong, waking up the five laborers from their sleep.
"Come on, get up, get up, the last task of the day!"
As soon as the guests heard that it was the last task, they immediately sat up from their recliners.
Ye Jie's eyes were clear and innocent: "After finishing this task, we can go home from get off work?"
Jia Yao looked suspicious. "It's only 4:30 in the afternoon. Are you sure this is the last mission? Is this really not a scam?"
Xu Ying stretched out his index finger and shook it: "I am an honest man, how could I lie?"
This silenced everyone.
The barrage burst out with laughter:
[The honest man made the five celebrity guests obedient.]
[It has to be an amateur to make the show work, otherwise, even if other celebrity guests were the boss, they wouldn't be so bold.]
[Webmaster Xiao Xu really treats people like employees, letting celebrities experience the fatigue of working for ordinary people.]
"And this mission has a bonus: you'll be able to interact with fennec foxes and even forge a deep revolutionary friendship~"
Ye Jie's eyes lit up instantly: "Wow, really?"
Everyone has watched Xu Ying's videos and has a deep understanding of how cute fennec foxes are. Even Jiang Mo, who is as calm as a chrysanthemum, was a little tempted when he heard about this benefit.
"Two months ago, we, the animal rescuers, worked with the police to bust a fur farm and rescued a large number of furry animals that had been fed obesity drugs."
"We have been working hard over the past two months to help these overweight animals lose weight and ensure their safety."
"My responsibility is to lead the overweight fennec fox family to lose weight."
"Over the past two months, weight loss has been very effective, but there are always some rebellious children who lose weight very slowly."
Xu Ying clapped his hands, a sly smile on his face. "Your task today is to help the fennec foxes lose weight. Lead these six die-hard dieters to complete their training today!"
