Chapter 325: The Four Heavenly Kings Gather at the Mushroom House?
Xiao Chen, on the other hand, found a foxtail grass from somewhere.
It leisurely held the bag in its mouth, leaned against a haystack, and squinted at the harmonious and interesting scene before it.
A faint smile played at the corners of his lips.
The sun was shining brightly, and a gentle breeze was blowing. At this moment, they weren't celebrities, just a few ordinary people experiencing life in the countryside.
It wasn't until nearly noon that they said goodbye to the old men and prepared to go back to cook.
This morning, they not only helped Grandma Wang fetch water, but also helped Grandpa Li and the others sort half a sack of peanuts, far exceeding the interactive effect expected by the program team.
So when they returned to the Mushroom House, the director, for the first time ever, took the initiative to greet them with a smile on his face.
"Thank you for your hard work, teachers!"
"Given everyone's active assistance to the villagers this morning and their spirit of mutual help and friendship, the program team has decided to reward everyone!"
"All lunch ingredients for today are on the house!"
"Whatever you'd like to eat, just ask us for it!"
Upon hearing the news, everyone cheered.
Andy Lau immediately shouted.
"Director, I want to eat roast suckling pig!"
Zhang Xueyou was not to be outdone.
"I want a seafood feast!"
Anita Mui said with a smile.
"I want to eat an authentic Peking duck."
The director's smile gradually froze, but he still forced himself to continue.
"No problem! Anything we have in our warehouse is fine!"
Just then, Xiao Chen, who had been silent all along, slowly spoke up.
He cleared his throat and gave the director a bright, harmless smile.
"Director, you said it yourself."
When the director saw Xiao Chen's smile, his heart skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition arose within him. He knew that this kid was about to start causing trouble again.
The director's voice sounded a little weak.
"Um... Xiao Chen, take it easy..."
Xiao Chen ignored him and started reciting the names of the dishes.
"Well, since the director is so generous, then we won't stand on ceremony."
"Give me a set of ingredients for Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, two Australian lobsters, and five pounds of A5-grade Wagyu beef."
"A piece of French bluefin tuna belly, and oh yes, some caviar and black truffle, just a touch of garnish."
With each name Xiao Chen mentioned, the director's face darkened further.
When he heard about caviar and black truffles, his face turned as red as the bottom of a pot.
"Xiao Chen!"
The director practically shouted it out through gritted teeth.
"Don't push your luck! This is a rural lifestyle program, not a Michelin-starred restaurant!"
"We don't have any of these things in our warehouse!"
Xiao Chen shrugged, looking completely innocent.
"Director, you can't say that. You were the one who said, 'Just redeem whatever you want to eat.'"
"It didn't say it had to be something from the warehouse. We make requests, and you go and resolve them—that's the show's sincerity."
The director was so angry he was trembling, pointing at Xiao Chen but unable to speak.
"you!"
The other guests, trying to suppress their laughter, started chiming in.
Leslie Cheung said it in a very serious tone.
"Director-in-Chief, Ah Chen is right."
"We worked so hard and deserve the best reward."
"You can't go back on your promises."
Anita Mui smiled and echoed her sentiment.
"Yes, director, the whole country is watching."
"If people find out you don't keep your word, it won't be good for the show's reputation."
Andy Lau and Cheung Hok-yau, seemingly eager to stir up trouble, fanned the flames from the sidelines.
"Yes, yes, yes! We want to eat lobster! We want to eat Wagyu beef!"
The director looked at this group of "troublemakers" and felt his blood pressure soaring.
He knew that he had fallen into Xiao Chen's trap once again.
I've never won against this kid!
Finally, under everyone's "coercion," the director nodded with tears in his eyes and agreed to make an emergency purchase.
Of course, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, lobster, and beef are available, but he would never buy caviar or black truffles.
Watching the director's tearful, hasty retreat, a burst of cheerful laughter erupted in the Mushroom House.
Not long after, the production team delivered the top-quality ingredients that Xiao Chen had "extorted" from him.
Xiao Chen tied on an apron and went into the kitchen.
Others also came in to help, some washing vegetables, some chopping vegetables, and the small kitchen was filled with laughter.
Just as Xiao Chen was working on that beautiful piece of Wagyu beef, the iconic old-fashioned telephone in the Mushroom House rang again.
Xiao Chen wiped his hands.
"I'll go pick it up."
He walked over, picked up the receiver, and pressed the speakerphone button.
A slightly magnetic yet lively male voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Feed? Is this the Mushroom House? We'd like to order!"
Everyone was taken aback. A guest star was coming?
Immediately afterwards, another gentle and refined male voice rang out.
"Hello, we'd like to order a Buddha Jumps Over the Wall soup, a crystal shrimp dumpling soup, a crab meat sandwich, and one more..."
Before he could finish speaking, the first voice interrupted.
"Don't listen to him, he's just deliberately making things difficult for people."
"Give us a spicy chicken and a boiled fish, the spicier the better!"
Upon hearing these two highly recognizable voices, everyone in the kitchen stopped what they were doing and looked at each other in bewilderment.
Xiao Chen, on the other hand, wore a knowing smile.
He answered the phone slowly and deliberately.
"Understood, Brother Cheng, Brother Ming."
"However, you'll have to go to the fields to exchange for the ingredients yourselves; we've already used up today's free lunch allowance."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
"Brother Cheng? Brother Ming?"
Andy Lau and Cheung Hok-yau exchanged a glance and exclaimed in surprise almost simultaneously.
"Aaron Kwok and Lai Ming?!"
The entire mushroom house fell silent instantly.
Anita Mui covered her mouth, her eyes filled with disbelief.
"Ah Chen, you called them both along too?"
Xiao Chen nodded and said with a smile.
"It seems the Four Heavenly Kings are going to gather at our Mushroom House today."
"boom!"
This news was like a bomb, exploding in everyone's hearts.
The Four Heavenly Kings! What this title means in the entire Eastern world is self-evident.
Since their peak, the four of them have developed their own careers and have some hidden competitive relationships.
They have almost never appeared together in any commercial events or programs since.
Countless people have tried to make this a reality, but all have failed.
Looking at Xiao Chen's calm expression, Leslie Cheung couldn't help but sigh.
"Ah Chen, you really have a lot of influence."
"As far as I know, the fees offered for programs and galas to invite the four of them to perform together in recent years have been astronomical."
"But it never succeeded."
"Why did they agree to come to our little show?"
Xiao Chen answered casually while cutting the beef.
"Maybe... they just want to experience life here."
Of course, no one believed this explanation.
