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

Chapter 651: Settling on Yuejia Village, the research report features culinary temptations.
"Don't just look, try it!"

These were just a few bites that she had managed to squeeze out of her mouth with great difficulty.

Yuan Chaoyu silently opened the lid of the food container, then took the chopsticks handed to him by his assistant and first brought them close to his nose to smell them.

Although seasonings such as sea salt and rice vinegar were added, they did not mask the refreshing aroma of the plants themselves; it actually smelled quite nice.

She picked up another one with her chopsticks and put it in her mouth. It was crisp and chewy with a hint of chewiness. It was sweet and refreshing, with the slight sourness of rice vinegar and the subtle saltiness of sea salt, making her mouth water.

No sooner had I swallowed than someone next to me eagerly asked, "How did it taste?"

Yuan Chaoyu deliberately hesitated for two seconds before nodding slightly, "Not bad."

The taste was indeed good. She usually doesn't have a good appetite in the morning, and although she's recovered now after being sick for no apparent reason a while ago, her appetite has gotten even worse.

If you're free, it's fine; you can eat less without having to diet.

But filming is physically demanding, and eating too little and going hungry can affect one's performance. So even if she can't eat, she will force herself to eat as much as possible.

But this small dish, which only had a few bites in total, was quite appetizing after just one bite, leaving a refreshing feeling in the mouth.

The greasiness of the breakfast I ate earlier was greatly reduced.

Jiang Hanying was satisfied with the reply and said, "Then you can eat slowly. I'm going back to my dressing room."

Yuan Chaoyu looked at the food in the container; it was so little that you could clearly see one less after eating just one piece. Was he really going to eat it slowly?
If it weren't for the need to maintain her image in front of her assistants and hairdressers, she would have laughed it off.

After Yuan Chaoyu also mentioned in the food-hunting guest group that he had tasted the Yuejia Village specialty shared by Jiang Hanying and found it to be quite delicious, Guan Jing simply followed suit.

【Then let's settle on Yuejia Village.】

She might be skeptical if someone else said something was delicious, but if it was said by Yuan Chaoyu, a young lady who had been pampered since childhood and had eaten countless delicacies, and who didn't need to cater to others, then it would be much more credible.

She joined the show to eat hidden culinary gems scattered across various regions without having to search for them herself.

It doesn't matter where we go, as long as the food doesn't disappoint her.

Chi Song read the message that Yuan Chaoyu sent to the group several times in a row.

He squinted, lost in thought.

He had personally witnessed how possessive someone was of their food, and he had only experienced it firsthand in this group himself.

Then she turned around and shared her favorite food with Yuan Chaoyu.

They only filmed in the same production crew for a few months, how come their relationship is already so good now?
After leaving the chat room of the "Taste Exploration" guest group, Chi Song clicked on Guanshan's avatar.

Brother Guan, I'd like to try playing the "Plum Blossom Order" game.

Guan Shan saw the message from Chi Song, tapped the desktop with his fingertip, and then typed a reply: [Why the sudden decision to give it a try?]

I wasn't mentally prepared before, but I am now.

This is clearly an excuse.

However, Guan Shan didn't ask any further questions. "Okay, I'll try to get you an audition opportunity. Prepare well."

Not many people know that the secret casting for "Plum Blossom Order" has begun yet, but even those who have received the news dare not say that sending their own people to audition will guarantee a 100% chance of being selected.

After all, the two people in charge of casting are both incredibly capricious, choosing actors purely based on first impressions!
At best, he only gained an initial advantage.

He remained calm about whether Chi Song would be selected.

It would be great if I got selected, but if not, oh well, I'll just consider it gaining experience from a large-scale audition. Anyway, we already have a backup plan!

The survey results for Yuejia Village were released three days later.

The research team remained in the area, only sending back a report of their findings.

The question is, since the filming location for the first episode of "A Taste of Life" has already been decided to be Yuejia Village, they can save themselves the trouble of making another trip back and forth, and simply wait for the main group to arrive locally.

In fact, the members of the inspection team gained about two pounds on average during these three days.

It's all from what I ate!

Three days isn't enough to eat them all; they want to stay and keep eating!
The group members made this decision unanimously.

Zhou Qi, who was still unaware of this, gathered the rest of the studio in the conference room and opened the research report that had been sent back.

The first few slides of the PPT about the local scenery were fine. Although they were just photos and simple videos, you could still feel the beauty of the local natural environment and even imagine how relaxing it would be to be there in person.

Once you get to the back, they'll start serving the local specialties.

There were all sorts of wild vegetables that I had never seen before and prepared in various ways, smoked meat and ham that every household in the area knew how to make, chicken, duck and fish stewed in special pots and stoves passed down from generation to generation, and even various insects roasted until crispy and shiny...

The photographer sent this time was the most skilled in the studio, and everyone who has seen these food photos agrees that he definitely gave it his all!

Otherwise, how could the photos be taken so enticingly? They could even smell the fragrance emanating from the pictures.

Someone couldn't help but swallow, as if a switch had been flipped, and the others simply stopped trying to hold back, with the sound of swallowing echoing throughout the room.

"It makes me hungry!"

"I regret not signing up earlier. What does the long journey and remote location matter? I'd do anything for the food!"

"I'll eat these electronic snacks with my rice later, so I can eat an extra bowl of rice."

"Sister Qi, when will our main force depart?"

Zhou Qi glanced at the pairs of eyes around him, which were practically glowing green from watching a single PPT presentation, and suppressed a smile as he said, "Then it depends on our preparation progress here. If it goes quickly, we can set off sooner to set things up; if it goes slowly..."

"I'll stay and work overtime tonight!"

Indeed, the power of delicious food is boundless!

Considering that the guests invited by the program team were also temporary members of their studio, Zhou Qi did not show favoritism and directly forwarded the "Yuejia Village Research Report" to the Taste of the Country guest group.

Jiang Hanying skipped over the scenery photographed in the report. Although the natural scenery in Yuejia Village was indeed beautiful, with a kind of natural and unadorned beauty, she had seen many more beautiful and magnificent landscapes.

Of course, it's when it's used as a sword.

What attracted her even more were the food photos in the second half!

It turns out that the local specialties sent earlier were only a part of the product, chosen for their ease of carrying, transporting, and storing.

There are many more delicious foods that you have to go to the local area to try.

Pointing to the last picture of the fried insects, he said, "When I get there, I'm going to try them all! Look at these cute little insects, they'll definitely be crunchy and delicious!"

Yuan Chaoyu, caught off guard and suddenly pulled over to listen to her boastful claims: "..."

cute?

And they're so crunchy, you can eat them one after another?
