I became a movie star at the age of three; Dilraba and I are childhood sweethearts.

After these words were spoken, the entire room fell silent for three seconds.

Immediately afterwards, a tremendous burst of laughter erupted.

"Hahahaha!"

Stephen Chow laughed so hard he slapped his thigh.

"Dilraba! You're such a little genius!"

Leslie Cheung and Anita Mui laughed so hard they almost fell over, with Anita Mui even affectionately rubbing Dilraba's nose.

"What are you thinking about all day long in that little head of yours!"

Xiao Chen couldn't help but chuckle. He nodded seriously and gave Dilraba a thumbs up.

"Theoretically, it is feasible."

Behind the monitor, the directors and staff looked ashen-faced.

A female director whispered, on the verge of tears.

"Oh no... Dilraba has been corrupted by Teacher Xiao Chen..."

The director clutched his heart, feeling his blood pressure spike again.

Good guy!

What kind of monsters and demons has he summoned?!

Xiao Chen alone was enough for him to handle, and now there's Dilraba who's been turned against him!

Can this show ever get any better?!

That being said, the rules still need to be followed.

The production team quickly delivered the promised ingredients.

There wasn't much food: a packet of rice noodles, a little minced meat, a few green vegetables, and some other miscellaneous ingredients.

It looked rather shabby, just enough for a few people to have lunch.

If it were someone else, they would probably be worried about this.

But for Xiao Chen, this was not a problem.

He glanced at the ingredients and immediately knew what to expect.

"Okay, I'll make you a Yunnan specialty, Crossing-the-Bridge Rice Noodles, for lunch today."

Just do it.

Xiao Chen put on his apron and instantly switched into chef mode.

Washing rice, making soup, chopping vegetables, stir-frying minced meat...

The series of movements were fluid and graceful, full of aesthetic appeal.

The others wanted to help, but seeing his methodical demeanor, they couldn't get involved at all.

In the end, he could only obediently sit on the side and become a spectator.

Mei Yanfang watched Xiao Chen's busy figure and sighed sincerely.

"Ah Chen is really... good at everything."

Leslie Cheung deeply agrees.

"yes."

"Acting, singing, songwriting, cooking..."

"It seems like there's nothing he can't do."

"Sometimes I wonder if he's even from Earth."

Stephen Chow stroked his chin, watching Xiao Chen's wok-flipping movements with a deep expression, muttering to himself.

"This move...this power...it would be amazing in an action movie..."

Dilraba was starry-eyed the whole time, becoming a number one fangirl, constantly exclaiming "Wow!" and "So amazing!"

Soon, a large pot of piping hot and fragrant broth, along with a dozen or so neatly arranged side dishes, was placed on the table.

Xiao Chen served everyone a bowl of hot rice noodles and said with a smile.

"Eat up, the soup is very hot, be careful."

Everyone's appetite was already whetted.

Following Xiao Chen's example, I first put the raw meat slices, vegetables and other ingredients into the boiling soup one by one, watching them change color and cook instantly.

Add the rice noodles in, and finally pour a spoonful of fragrant minced meat sauce over them.

Leslie Cheung couldn't wait to pick up a mouthful of rice noodles, blow on it, and put it in his mouth.

The next second, his eyes lit up instantly.

"Delicious! So delicious!"

He couldn't help but admire it.

Anita Mui and Stephen Chow also looked amazed and satisfied.

Dilraba's face was chubby from eating, like a happy little squirrel, and she didn't even have time to talk.

Undoubtedly, this lunch once again received unanimous praise from everyone.

After a satisfying meal and a short rest, the afternoon's work began.

The director's emotionless voice blared from the loudspeaker in the courtyard.

"Attention, distinguished guests, the task for this afternoon is..."

"First, repair the pavilion in the courtyard."

"Second, go to the hillside on the other side of the river and plant the saplings prepared by the production team."

"You will receive 10 points for each tree you successfully plant, which can be used to redeem ingredients for dinner."

The task doesn't seem complicated.

After discussing it, everyone quickly allocated the labor force.

Xiao Chen is the main person in charge of dinner, so we can't let him get too tired.

Moreover, repairing a pavilion is a delicate task that requires a calm and meticulous person.

So he and Mei Yanfang stayed behind to take charge of repairing the pavilion.

The remaining physical work—planting trees—was left to the trio of Leslie Cheung, Stephen Chow, and Dilraba Dilmurat.

Stephen Chow patted his chest, looking very confident.

"Planting trees is no big deal!"

Leslie Cheung also felt it wasn't a big problem; he was even in the mood to joke.

"The three of us shouldn't have any problem planting sixty trees in an afternoon, right?"

"That way we can have a decent dinner."

Dilraba was also standing next to her, clenching her little fist to cheer herself up.

"Okay! Keep it up!"

Seeing the three of them looking so confident, Xiao Chen just smiled and didn't say anything.

However, when they actually started taking action, they realized how wrong they had been.

The first step in planting trees is to transport saplings from the other side of the river.

The production team was very "thoughtful" in providing only a dilapidated little wooden boat and two oars of different lengths.

The three stood by the river, looking at each other in bewilderment.

Dilraba asked tentatively.

"Who... knows how to row a boat?"

Leslie Cheung and Stephen Chow exchanged a glance, both seeing confusion in each other's eyes.

Stephen Chow said he wasn't quite sure.

"I... passed by in a movie."

Leslie Cheung asked tentatively.

"Then...you do it?"

So, Stephen Chow boarded the boat with full confidence and picked up the oars.

Just like in the movies, swipe left and then right.

As a result, the small boat did not move forward, but instead spun around in place.

After spinning around a few times, Stephen Chow himself got dizzy and almost fell headfirst into the river.

In the end, the three of them were still in a flurry of activity, circling around in the river for nearly two hours.

It took a tremendous amount of effort to barely get the boat to the other side.

When they got ashore, they were all panting heavily, and their clothes were mostly soaked.

But this is just the beginning.

On the hillside across the river, bundles of saplings were piled up.

When they got closer, they were dumbfounded.

The sapling was much thicker and heavier than they had imagined.

Each tree had a huge clod of earth attached to it, so heavy that even an adult man would have difficulty lifting it.

Dilraba tried to pick up a sapling, but her face turned red and the sapling didn't budge.

"This...this is so heavy?"

Leslie Cheung and Stephen Chow also tried it, and they also ended up grimacing.

Stephen Chow couldn't help but complain.

"Is the production team trying to work us to death?"

There was no other way; the two of them had to work together to barely lift a sapling.

They walked with great difficulty to the designated planting site.

The distance from the riverbank to the hillside is only a few hundred meters, but they walked it as arduously as the Long March.

After finally managing to move the saplings to the new location, new problems arose.

Dig a hole.

The soil on the hillside was very hard, mixed with a lot of stones, and the shovel provided by the production team was small and dull.
