Chapter 230 The Control Group of the Almighty Movie Queen (26)
The director waited for them to finish the skinning and then started to explain the rules:
"This season our recording location will be moved to the mountains, but there is nothing there, so you need to build wooden houses and cultivate vegetable fields by yourself. We have helped you find a few trees that can be cut down, but you will need to replant saplings in the future. Cut down a few trees and replenish a few saplings. In addition, you are allowed to exchange rice, flour, grain and oil with the villagers. You decide what to exchange for it."
…”
Now even Chu Tian, who debuted in variety shows and is known as the "Queen of Variety Shows", wants to quit:
"Director, not to mention that there are only four of us, Yinyin and I are still girls. Do you think we can build a wooden house and grow a vegetable field in half a month with our thin arms and legs? You think too highly of us. Got it!"
The director smiled warmly: "You have to believe in yourselves, you can definitely do it!"
…”
Then they moved.
From the small farmhouse at the foot of the mountain where they had finally adapted and were decorated more and more warmly, they moved to the mountains where there was nothing and they had to work hard to build infrastructure on their own.
In fact, it is not really a big mountain, but the mountain road is difficult to walk. It is impossible to drive in and has to be carried manually.
Xu Yin was okay, she only had a suitcase, and she was very strong, so she had no problem carrying it up a mountain.
Chu Tian was miserable. She had three large suitcases by herself. The assistant sent her there and then went back. The staff still had equipment and machines to transport, so they couldn't spare any time to help her, so she almost cried.
Thanks to Xu Yin's strong strength, he could help her carry a lot of things, and Feng Shaoyu and Bai Ning also took turns to help her carry it for a while, otherwise the variety show star would be defeated by the variety show, and even have the idea of retiring from the industry.
Before the wooden houses were built, they could only live in tents.
Xu Yin distributed snake and insect repellent sachets to the guests.
“Xu Yin, have you prepared this? Do you know that we are going to record in the mountains this season?”
Xu Yin paused: "No, I brought it with me when I came last time."
"That's it." Chu Tian laughed and teased her, "You didn't buy it when you came to record the last season, right? But you didn't use it? Hahaha! It's a good thing you brought it with you, otherwise it would have been a disaster. Director What a dishonest person! He didn’t give us any time to prepare, and we were not even mentally prepared, so he drove us straight up the mountain."
The director has become accustomed to guests often complaining that he is not a good person, so he said with a smile: "These program teams have prepared, but you have to bring something in exchange."
“…Here it comes again! I won’t listen, I won’t listen!”
Chu Tian pretended to cover her ears and took Xu Yin to collect firewood.
Supper hasn’t been served yet!
Even though we have brought the pots and pans, where is the stove? Could it be built with stones?
Xu Yin thought for a while and suggested: "How about we build a baking kiln? I see that the villagers here grow some sweet potatoes every year. I asked them to change to some sweet potatoes. It would be good to bake them later."
When Chu Tian heard this, she immediately thought of roasting sweet potatoes over firewood, but—
“It’s easy for you to say, among us, who knows how to do that!”
“I know how to do it!” Xu Yin said, “I have studied baking kilns, and I remember downloading the step-by-step drawings...”
She took out her mobile phone and pretended to look through the photo album, but in fact she pulled out the kiln drawings from the system warehouse and took a photo.
Chu Tian couldn’t understand the drawings, but seeing that Xu Yin was serious, she said:
"Then build one! It doesn't matter if it doesn't work, we're recording the show anyway. You found good content for the director, and he couldn't even get happy in time. Director! Yinyin helped you find good material, shouldn't you reward her with something? ?”
Without saying a word, the director asked his assistant to deliver a basket of sweet potatoes.
…”
When Bai Ning and Feng Shaoyu came back from cutting a piece of wood and filling a bucket of mountain spring water with them, they returned to the camp and found that the two female guests had made themselves look ashen as if they were playing with mud. “What are you two doing?”
"Teacher Bai, Brother Yu, are you back? Come and take a look, Yinyin has built a baking kiln. If it succeeds, we will have roasted sweet potatoes to eat tonight!"
Success is definitely a success.
Xu Yin’s craftsmanship in building a baking kiln is truly at the level of a master craftsman.
One day when you are really poor, you might be able to earn a few bucks from this craft.
"Yo!" Bai Ning and Feng Shaoyu looked interested, "Xu Yin can do this? Amazing!"
“But where did the cement and bricks come from?” Feng Shaoyu asked curiously.
"Hehe, we exchanged ten roasted sweet potatoes for the director." Chu Tian said, "Brother Yu, don't even think about using these to build a house. The director said that if Yinyin builds a baking kiln and contributes to the show, it will be half sold and half given away. We won’t have this benefit in the future.”
Feng Shaoyu: “…”
It’s another bad day for the director!
That night, Xu Yin, a young kiln expert, used the built kiln to bake sweet potatoes one after another for the guests and the director team.
The sweet potatoes are truly roasted over firewood, without honey, but the skin still has a sweet aroma of honey, which has won unanimous praise from everyone.
After that, they started the recording routine of "The Log Cabin in the Mountains".
The two male guests were responsible for felling wood and planing boards, but Xu Yin took the initiative to ask her to chop down the trees. She was very strong, which saved her time.
But she was rejected by Bai Ning and Feng Shaoyu. No matter how strong she was, she was still a delicate girl in their eyes.
Previously, she plowed the fields and planted rice fields by herself, but they didn’t know how to drive the machines, so they shamelessly won.
If Xu Yin were to chop wood now, not to mention that the program would be easily criticized by the audience after it was broadcast, and they themselves would look down on themselves.
So the two female guests only had to take care of three meals a day, which was much easier than cutting down trees.
There are many things to eat in the mountains in spring: stream fish, river shrimp, mushrooms, spring bamboo shoots, wild locust flowers...there are all kinds of them.
Xu Yin once again experienced the fun of treasure hunting, lighting up a plant in the "Illustrated Book of Chinese Herbal Medicine" from time to time.
The fish and shrimp in the stream were so small that they could not be picked up with chopsticks when stewed, so Xu Yin had to use them to make porridge.
Exchange some mushrooms and spring bamboo shoots with the villagers for rice, flour, grain and oil.
In fact, the villagers do not lack these foods, but they are veteran viewers of the program team. They know that this is a task and are happy to exchange with the guests.
An enthusiastic villager also gave Xu Yin a small bottle of local honey.
with some honey on the sweet potatoes that night.
A few days have passed like this, and everyone seems to be used to this rhythm, except that it is a little troublesome to contact the outside world.
The signal in the mountains is sometimes good or bad, and Xu Yin sometimes has to run to the bottom of the mountain to talk to the dean’s mother on the phone.
On this day, she exchanged sophora flowers and shepherd's purse with the villagers for a few eggs. She was about to go up the mountain when she received a call from her agent.
"Umbro, I finally got through to you! If I can't get through again, I have to rush to Wangwushan." Luo Xin said on the other end of the phone, "That's what happened. There is an old variety show on Pineapple Channel that wants to invite you as a guest. "Invite You to My House", have you seen this program before?"
"Invite you to my home"?
Isn't that the rogue variety show in the original article that used the original person as a control group for the sake of traffic and bad taste?
Xu Yin raised her hand to cover her forehead, looked at the clear blue sky, her lips parted slightly: "I haven't seen it, so I don't want to accept it."
