The sweetest in the entertainment industry

When preparing lunch, to avoid overcrowding the kitchen and because each guest had different strengths, the six couples were divided into three groups after internal discussion.

Xia Shiqian and his wife, who were in charge of catching and killing the chickens, and Shen Weixi and his wife, who were in charge of grinding flour, built an earthen stove and chopped firewood to roast the chickens in the designated area of ​​the yard. After that, they also had to ferment the dough and stick it around the inside of the iron pot when the chickens were almost cooked.

The Lin Jingque couple, who were in charge of fishing, and the Su Ying couple, who were in charge of picking vegetables and fruits, washed, picked, and chopped the vegetables, and also prepared beautiful fruit platters.

As for the last group, the Lanting couple joined Chu Lingyun and her husband, who had returned from pounding rice, to steam rice and stir-fry vegetables.

The task was assigned to the team and then further refined.

The other two groups were working elsewhere, which Gu Lanxi was unaware of. In her group, Chu Lingyun and Shang Zhi were washing rice and cooking, while she and Lu Nanting were in charge of stir-frying vegetables.

The cooking had to wait for the second group to prepare, but now even the most skilled cook couldn't cook without rice, so they could only wait. Lu Nanting wanted to use this time to repair the field ridges, but not wanting her to feel guilty, he said he was going to the restroom.

As soon as Lu Nanting left, Gu Lanxi sat on the threshold with her hands supporting her chin, watching the couple pack up the rice.

When a TV station is recording a program, they have to pound the rice themselves on the farm. It's impossible for them to just open the bag, take out the rice, wash it, and put it in the rice cooker like most people do at home.

The rice that has been pounded still contains a lot of rice bran and small stones that are not completely removed. Before cooking, it needs to be sorted out with a winnowing basket to remove the impurities, and then rinsed repeatedly.

In this process, you need to learn how to use a winnowing basket, a very ancient tool.

The specific method of using this tool is as follows: hold the winnowing basket horizontally with both hands, sway your body from side to side, and tilt the winnowing basket slightly. By taking advantage of the different sizes and masses of the particles, the particles are layered on the rough surface of the winnowing basket. Then, use a skillful technique to gently shake the winnowing basket to throw out the debris.

Chu Lingyun was pregnant, so it was impossible for her to hold a basket of rice and shake it. Only Shang Zhi, the coolest international supermodel, could do it himself.

Shang Zhi wore a high-necked black sweater and a very cool silver necklace. He first went to the rice pounding area and got covered in white ash. He would then have to endure the poison of various dusts. Fortunately, although he was a bit pretentious and not very strong, his attitude remained very upright.

He is very hardworking and humble.

Even though the old lady in charge of teaching him, barely taller than him and wearing a floral apron, was on the verge of exploding and practically wanted to cook the rice for him, he still spoke to her politely as always.

"Auntie, could you take another look? Where did I do it wrong? Was I too weak?"

Gang used too much force and shook the rice out with it, leaving the pebbles mixed in and refusing to separate.

The rice, which had been painstakingly pounded, was scattered on the ground, and a flock of roosters and hens immediately came over with their chicks to peck at it.

Laughter filled the air, and even Chu Lingyun didn't give him any face, laughing until tears streamed down her face. He simply held his winnowing basket steadily, scooped out another bowl of rice, and bowed, begging the old lady for more pointers.

It is said that every profession can produce an expert, and Gu Lanxi knows very well that no matter what you do, you can't rely on luck to reach the top.

Although there are many things about this couple that she doesn't like, they are truly admirable in terms of dedication and hard work.

Just like her and Lu Nanting, they also have many flaws that others can't stand.

The key to good relationships is to seek common ground while respecting differences. If you get along well, you should spend more time together; if you clash, you should maintain a polite distance.

Gu Lanxi was leisurely drinking boiled water, watching Shang Zhi shake the winnowing basket. A bunch of roosters and hens were chasing after him begging for food at his feet, and she was laughing so hard she could hardly breathe. Meanwhile, Lu Nanting had already returned to the ridge with a hoe on his shoulder.

"How do we do this?"

Gu Lanxi had little experience recording TV shows and had never farmed, so she didn't think too much about it.

In her view, if the ridge collapsed, so be it, since one side of the ridge was a mountain wall and the field on the other side was also in danger.

When you're playing jungle, you can't just dig a hole in the wild and then fill it back in.

Lu Nanting, however, learned from his experience and was afraid that if the show aired, the audience would use it as a basis for their criticism.

Even when she was cutting elm seeds, he gave her some pointers, telling Gu Lanxi not to just focus on cutting one spot. Otherwise, if she cut down the dense elm tree, it would look like a dog had gnawed on it, and a large chunk would be missing. She would inevitably get scolded.

According to Gu Lanxi's thinking, if a breakthrough has been made in a certain place, wouldn't it be simpler to continue pushing forward when there are no obstacles ahead? As for the matter of missing branches, new branches will soon grow. Why does it seem like she wants to kill that tree?

Lu Nanting built the field ridges very smoothly.

They dug up large clumps of soil, stomped on them repeatedly, and used the bottom of the hoe as a hammer to carefully adjust the edges until the soil wouldn't collapse when walking on it, then they called it a day.

To increase the stability of the paddy field ridges, he even mixed in small stones and grass stalks, which clearly wasn't just for show.

No one expected that he was so good at using a hoe.

While he was mending the paddy field ridges, the host interacted with him and asked him this question.

“When my brothers and I were very young, we would go to the fields with our mother. She said that food is the most important thing for people, and we should know where grains, fruits and vegetables come from. Well, I also grow some things occasionally when I need to…”

He stopped talking as if he had let something slip.

The host was about to ask more when Lu Nanting had already left with his hoe.

He was tall with long legs, and though he didn't want to answer, he walked very fast. The host kept asking him questions while looking at his back, but he just wouldn't answer.

By the time he returned with his hands clean, the ingredients were basically ready.

Gu Lanxi assumed he had work-related matters to discuss and didn't want to answer the phone in front of the camera, so she made up an excuse and didn't urge him.

Seeing him return, she quickly grabbed an apron and tied it on for him.

"Hurry, hurry, the roast chicken is almost cooked, and the rice is steaming too. We need to hurry!"

After saying that, he took out the corn stalks he had prepared beforehand to start a fire, and once the fire was burning, he put in a handful of bean stalks.

Lu Nanting didn't hesitate at all; he tied on an apron and immediately picked up a spatula.

Everyone previously thought that Gu Lanxi was in charge of cooking and Lu Nanting was in charge of the fire, but unexpectedly, it was this young master who was in charge of cooking!

Everyone's eyes widened in surprise!

So what kind of super-rich Nth generation is this?
Aside from work, he spends all his time with his wife. In his private life, he doesn't like going to bars, racing cars, or flirting with girls. Instead, he prefers farming and cooking.
No, this is a little different from what we expected!

Lu Nanting didn't care about any of that. Gu Lanxi had already put all the ingredients in order and controlled the heat perfectly. She knew exactly which ingredients to put in first, which to put in last, when to add the seasonings, and when to take it off the heat. How could he possibly not do it well?

Not only did he cook quickly and well, but he also had time to flirt with his wife while washing the pot: "Hey, are you... you know, a fire sprite? I say in my mind, 'Big fire,' and you become a big fire; I say, 'Small fire,' and you become a small fire; I say..."

Gu Lanxi was speechless and made a silencing gesture: "If the food is almost cooked and you don't turn down the heat, are you going to let it burn? If you don't turn down the heat right after putting it in the pan, how can it taste good? Don't bring everything into the realm of telepathy!"

Moreover, the two of them had just dug up some wild vegetables today, and people already call him a "wild vegetable brain," so now they're going to keep saying it.
Lu Nanting didn't understand her concerns and couldn't help but sigh.

Well, my wife occasionally shows her stubborn, straight-as-an-arrow personality, and I just can't flirt with her.

Luckily, I've already won her over.

"Never mind, forget I said anything."

After washing the pot, he couldn't help but turn to the camera and whisper:

"But then again, if it works five or six times out of ten, I'll be living the good life I have now. That's pretty impressive."

Gu Lanxi was still sitting in front of the stove and didn't hear what he was muttering, so she asked him, "What did you say?"

"I said dinner's ready!" (End of Chapter)
