Chapter 160 A Surprise for Everyone
"Based on your abilities, we can only drink this fish soup tonight."
Wen Biying brought the thick white fish soup to the table, adding some kelp and tofu to it, and the delicious aroma filled the entire courtyard.
Si Che helped to clear the table so that the large pot of fish soup could be placed precisely in the middle.
"Is fish soup not okay? Others want to drink this wild fish soup but can't."
Soon, today's main course was served.
In the big pot is red hot boiled meat, with bean sprouts and other side dishes underneath, thinly sliced fish on top, and a layer of dried chili peppers, peppercorns and minced garlic sprinkled on top. When hot oil is poured on it, a rich aroma emanates, making people salivate.
Ji Sisi's saliva was flowing out, and she felt like she could eat two large bowls of rice in a while.
Another big fish was made into braised fish, coated with a layer of starch and fried into tiger skin. Although it doesn't look as colorful as boiled fish, it definitely has a lot of fragrance.
It has been stewed in the pot for a long time, and you can smell the fragrance when it is served.
Finally, there are spicy and sour potato shreds, green vegetables, and a dish of braised pork, and a normal meal is ready.
Ji Sisi picked up a few river clams from the bucket, smashed the shells, and threw them into the duck pen so that the ducklings could also eat.
"It's time to eat! Everyone, help yourself to the food!"
Ji Shengsheng brought two bowls of rice, placing one in front of himself and one in front of Ji Sisi.
Ji Sisi was holding the chopsticks, very excited and couldn't wait to start eating, but someone sat down next to her and a bowl of rice was placed on the other side of her.
Okay, okay, it seems I must eat two bowls of rice today.
Just as a few people were getting ready to eat, the director waved a large fan in his hand and walked around in front of the table several times, his eyes occasionally falling on the table and on them.
Everyone felt uneasy under his gaze and could hardly eat.
"Director, if you have something to say, please tell us now. Don't hang around here. Don't you want to eat?"
Si Che frowned and was about to carry it away himself.
But he seemed to have thought of something the next second, and said quickly: "But you definitely can't eat. It's not easy for us to cook these meals. But if you pay, we are willing to give you a bowl."
Director: ".No, do I really look that greedy?"
None of the members spoke, silence was better than words at this moment.
The director exhaled, "Okay, okay, stop joking. Today I have good news to announce to everyone! A big surprise!"
He had already prepared himself to accept the applause from the crowd, but no one at the table reacted much.
The director was filled with disappointment. “No, please give me some reaction, or I will be embarrassed!”
"Oh." Lan Qin looked indifferent.
The director took the initiative to admit defeat, "Alright, alright, I won't keep you in suspense any longer. I will now announce to everyone that our courtyard will soon be welcoming guests!"
As he spoke, he started to applaud.
He wanted to boost the morale of all members, but it didn't work and everyone turned around and started eating.
Pei Si: "Oh, I have to have a bowl of this fish soup first, it looks so delicious!" "The vegetables under the boiled fish are the most flavorful!" Wei Ziqiao said, picking up half a bowl of vegetables with one chopstick, his mouth full of red oil.
Wen Biying threw the fish tail that Si Che had given her back into his bowl, with a look of disgust on her face: "Do you know how to eat fish? The belly of the fish is the most delicious."
Even Fu Yeran, who usually doesn't talk much, is picking up food a lot faster than usual.
director:"."
So from beginning to end, no one cared about him at all.
"Did you hear what I said? I mean that someone is coming to visit our courtyard, and you should be more hospitable to the guest."
Wen Biying waved her hand: "I know, when will you come? How many people will come?"
Ji Sisi was eating while looking at the director, wanting to know the answer to the question.
The show will end in less than a month, why would anyone still want to come to this show? She remembered that there was no such plot in the original plot, right? Did she forget it?
Seeing that they finally gave him some reaction, the director quickly said, "Of course it's because our show is so popular now. Although it's broadcast live every day, its popularity is very stable! Congratulations!"
"So, another program, "A Beautiful Pastoral Life," wants to collaborate with us, and five of their members will come to visit our courtyard!"
The director introduced several members of the other team, and then announced that several people from "A Beautiful Pastoral Life" would arrive at the courtyard the day after tomorrow.
Several members agreed perfunctorily. Since they would not arrive until the next day, they could not delay today's dinner.
The next morning, all members were woken up by the director and asked to clean up the utility room.
"Although they will only stay in our program for three days, our production team still wants to give them a warm reception. There is no limit to the funding we will give you during these days, and there is no rush for work in the field. You can just focus on entertaining the guests."
It was the first time that everyone saw the director being so generous. He even took the initiative to help them clean up things in the yard.
"Hey, do you think we should send these ducks to someone else's house to raise for two days? What if the ducks start quacking in the morning and disturb others?"
"Also, I brought the program crew's kettle. It has a larger capacity, so you can use that!"
Soon, the nagging director was kicked out of the yard.
Wen Biying held up a shovel for feeding chickens and ducks and said, "Director, if you put your trust in them, they might kick you into the ditch."
After hearing this, Ji Sisi didn't understand why Wen Biying was so malicious towards her before the other party even arrived. The rest of the people also had no interest in her.
Until the arrival of several people from the "Beautiful Rural Life" production crew.
[Host, this character does not exist in the original plot. If you try hard, you may be able to gain some disgust points.]
The system reminded her early on that Ji Sisi's task progress had not moved for a long time. She was anxious, and the system became anxious too.
Ji Sisi rolled her eyes, [Need I tell you? I will definitely work hard on it.]
Several people waited at the gate of the courtyard as instructed by the director. The courtyard behind them was spotless, even the black ash on the stove was wiped clean.
"Director, when will the other party arrive? Do we really need to wait here?" Wen Biying leaned against the door frame, looking lazy.
Although the other members didn't say anything, they also felt uncomfortable after waiting at the door for so long.
The director looked at his watch and said, "Don't worry, there might be a traffic jam on the road. Please be patient and wait a moment!"
Everyone knew very well that there could be no traffic jam on a weekday, but since it was still a live broadcast, they had to listen to the director.
