After being universally criticized online, I went viral on military-themed variety shows.

Chapter 373 Monkey-Catching Mission: Borrowing the Refrigerator

Li Zhi glanced at Lin An's already packed luggage and said, "This time, you've been assigned to a film crew, which means you have a new task."

Lin An looked over with some surprise, "Was this arranged at the last minute?"

“That’s right, it was personally ordered by the Lord.”

Lin An immediately became more serious. "Go on," he said.

"Keep a close eye out on the set, especially around Jiang Hanying. Is there a small, golden monkey, about this size?" Li Zhi said, gesturing with her hand. "Ideally, capture it alive. If not, kill it. If you kill it, make sure it's absolutely dead, with no chance of surviving."

Lin An: "...Little, monkey?"

"No doubt about it, it's a monkey."

Seeing Li Zhi's resolute words, Lin An nodded with some difficulty, "Okay."

If Li Zhi hadn't said that it was a personal order from the Lord, he would have suspected that Li Zhi was deceiving him!
When did it become necessary to capture a monkey alive or kill it?
However, since it was the Lord's order, there must be a reason behind it. He just needs to obediently follow the instructions and do what he is told.

The night shoot lasted for nearly two hours before wrapping up.

Jiang Hanying was still watching the playback on the monitor, while Pei Yuan went back to the lounge to pack her things.

It took quite a while before he came running back carrying large and small bags.

Jiang Hanying casually took one, "Why did it take so long?"

"I lost a pen. It was a brand new pen. I looked around for it, but I couldn't find it. I don't know where I lost it."

Jiang Hanying immediately turned her head and touched her nose.

She didn't even notice which pen it was when she threw it; she just grabbed one randomly and tossed it over.

Unexpectedly, this was discovered.

They'll never admit it!

"I'll buy a few more when we get back to the hotel, I'll pay for them!"

"Sis, you're so generous!"

Jiang Hanying: I feel a little guilty.

Upon arriving at the hotel, Jiang Hanying and Pei Yuan went straight to the front desk.

"Have any packages been delivered here today?"

Recipient's name.

"Pei Yuan".

"Let me see, yes, there is. It's quite a big box. Do you need help bringing it to my room?"

Pei Yuan nodded, then turned to Jiang Hanying and said, "Sister, you go back to the dressing room to remove your makeup and take off your hair first. I'll go back and pack the packages."

Jiang Hanying watched as two hotel staff members worked together to carry the package out before she nodded in satisfaction and obediently went to the dressing room.

Pei Yuan followed the staff member who helped deliver the package to the door, thanked them and sent them away before opening the door. She first put down what she was holding, then came out and moved the package into the room.

"Phew, this is heavy. What did I send?"

After closing the door and opening the box, wow, it was packed so tightly inside.

There was a waterproof kraft paper envelope on top. Pei Yuan picked it up, touched it, and put it on the table without opening it.

"Dried chicken, dried duck, dried goose, sausage, salted duck eggs... are these freshly killed? Oh, there's another layer..."

Before they could take everything out of the box, there was a knock on the door.

"Pei Yuan?"

Pei Yuan clapped her hands and quickly got up to open the door.

"What delicious food is there? I can smell it all."

As Jiang Hanying spoke, she stepped into the room and saw that the coffee table in the living room was already fully occupied.

"I haven't finished packing yet. Oh, right, there's a letter in the package."

Jiang Hanying grabbed a bag of walnuts that Pei Yuan had just taken out of her package, sat down on the sofa, and before Pei Yuan could hand her the walnut cracker, she reached out and gently squeezed it, shattering the shells.

He popped a walnut into his mouth, opened the envelope, and began to read the letter. Before Pei Yuan could ask what was inside, he read aloud: "Ding Ying said that the dried chickens, ducks, and geese can last for several months as long as they aren't kept in places with excessive humidity and temperature. They probably won't last that long; I can finish them in a few days. Also, freshly slaughtered animals are best eaten quickly, as freezing them for too long affects the taste. She even wrote down several ways to cook them. Oh, and you don't need to buy any seasonings; she sent them along with that too. So thoughtful. The dried fruits, red dates, and hawthorn berries are all homemade; you can eat them without worry."

After finishing the letter, Jiang Hanying found herself with a pile of broken walnut shells.

Pei Yuan was putting the freshly slaughtered chickens and ducks into the small refrigerator in the room, but she couldn't fit them all in. "Ding Ying seems to have overestimated the capacity of our hotel's refrigerator."

"Hmm?" Jiang Hanying got up, walked to the refrigerator, glanced at it, then looked at the two chickens and one duck that hadn't been put in yet. She reached out, picked up the box along with the chickens, and started to walk out.

Pei Yuan was taken aback. "Sister, are you going to give these away?"

That's good, at least it's not a waste.

If it goes bad outside, it's not edible.

Moreover, she's been very busy with work lately, so even if she wanted to, she wouldn't have time.

"What are you thinking about? I'm just going to borrow the refrigerator next door."

Pei Yuan: "..."

It seems she underestimated Hanying's generosity.

Jiang Hanying carried the styrofoam box to the next room and knocked on the door.

Yun Fan hadn't rested yet when she opened the door and saw Jiang Hanying standing outside holding a styrofoam box. She was completely bewildered. "What's this?"

Jiang Hanying cut to the chase: "Is your refrigerator still empty?"

Yun Fan nodded subconsciously.

"Lend it to me."

"Huh? What do you want to put in?"

"Chicken and duck, already slaughtered."

Yun Fan glanced into the styrofoam box and exclaimed, "Wow! This meat looks delicious. Did your family send it to you?"

"Sent by Ding Ying, but I don't have enough room in my refrigerator."

Yun Fan took a few seconds to process what Ding Ying was. "This girl is quite grateful. But if she lends me her refrigerator, I'll charge her a rental fee."

Jiang Hanying thought for a moment, then said with a pang of regret, "I'll stew it and give you a bowl."

"make a deal!"

The two of them high-fived each other as an oath.

Back in her room, Jiang Hanying couldn't wait to open a bag of vacuum-packed salt-baked chicken and enjoy it as a late-night snack before finally washing up and going to bed satisfied.

The lights were still on in the living room, which was just a door away.

A little monkey was sitting on the coffee table in the living room, with several sheets of white paper and a pen in front of it. It had a piece of leftover salt-baked chicken breast in its mouth and was practicing writing while eating.

He didn't lie down until he had almost filled the few sheets of paper in front of him with drawings. He was exhausted, and after a while, he got up to turn off the light.

When Jiang Hanying woke up in the morning, she opened the bedroom door and saw several sheets of paper neatly laid out on the floor, with the edges aligned as if by obsessive-compulsive disorder. When she picked them up, she found they were all scribbles, and she couldn't recognize a single word on them.

However, it's clear that he wrote quite diligently, with almost no blank spaces on the several pages.

Is it really that difficult for a monkey to write?

Monkey paws look almost exactly like human hands, and they appear quite agile.

The creature that just jumped out the window and left: You try being a monkey!

Jiang Hanying: Ugly, no thanks!

"Sister?" Pei Yuan entered the room carrying breakfast and saw that Jiang Hanying had already finished washing up and was just about to change her clothes. She was quite surprised. "Why are you up so early today?"

Jiang Hanying was just opening the refrigerator door to take out a few salted duck eggs that Ding Ying had sent to try when she heard this and casually replied, "To check my homework."

"what?"

"Stop 'ah'ing, eat the duck egg!"
