Jiang Hexi picked out two five-nut mooncakes, wrapped them in oil paper, and gave them to Zhou Gongqi.

The night was deep, the trees were covered with fallen leaves, and the coolness of early autumn seeped into every corner of the streets.

She walked to the fork in the old street and saw Zhou Gongqi surrounded by three children, painting on the wall from afar.

The street lights are dim and cannot illuminate the darkness of the night.

As he got closer, Jiang Hexi saw green wheat seedlings painted on the wall.

Walking further forward, the painting transitions to the next wall, where wheat is growing taller and the thousand-acre wheat field is lush and green.

When she got closer, she stood behind Zhou Gongqi and saw that he was drawing wheat waves rolling underwater on the wall.

Bold and bright colors and abstract painting style make the whole picture lively and impactful.

Jiang Hexi was speechless and asked, "Duke Zhou, why did you draw this?"

Zhou Gongqi turned around and saw her. He put down his paintbrush and took the oil paper bag from her hand. "Is this the mooncake for me?"

As he spoke, he tore open the oil paper, gave one mooncake to each of his three children, and started eating the other hot mooncake.

Jiang Hexi was still staring at the mural. "Mr. Zhou, wasn't the original draft for this creative street a trendy graffiti?"

"I temporarily changed it to a thousand acres of wheat fields."

Zhou Gongqi said to her carefully: "Sister Xi, I can't forget the wheat churning under the water in that flood. After I went back, I kept thinking, how can farmers survive such natural disasters?"

Jiang Hexi turned around and looked at him.

"It wasn't until that day when you took me for a stroll along the village road that I saw the new seedlings growing in the fields, and I understood this truth all at once."

Zhou Gongqi looked at her kindly and said, "Keep planting. The flood will eventually recede, and the coming of spring after the passing of autumn will be the beginning of a new year for all things."

He knew that she had not completely let go, so he taught her earnestly:

"The farmers here are as full of vitality as the land beneath our feet. Sister Xi, you must also learn to be more solid, more resistant to roughness, and more tenacious. You must be able to tolerate these hardships and then grow your own thousand-acre wheat field."

Jiang Hexi lowered her head and tears fell straight to the ground.

Zhou Gongqi pulled her around the corner and came to the bottom of the slope.

Through her tearful eyes, she saw the endless expanse of harvested wheat fields, heavy ears of wheat, and golden fields on the tilted wall. She couldn't control her emotions and burst into tears.

[I am crying so hard, Duke Zhou understands Ximei so well that he actually painted a thousand acres of wheat fields with abundant harvest! ]

【From then on, Ximei's wheat field reaped a rich harvest in her heart. 】

[This series of wall paintings is absolutely a deity in the hearts of fans of farming. 】

[In this civilized village competition, Canglang Village won first place absolutely, without a doubt, and as expected by everyone.]

Yan Jie came out and called them to go back for dinner.

He walked to the bottom of the slope and saw Zhou Gongqi leaning against the wall eating mooncakes, while Jiang Hexi was sitting on the steps with his head buried in his knees, motionless.

"What's up with her?"

"It's okay. She was too shocked after seeing my murals. She will be fine after a while."

Zhou Gongqi patted the mooncake crumbs on his hands and called her, "Sister Xi, let's go, let's go back and eat."

Jiang Hexi stood up from the steps and followed him out.

Yan Jie saw that her eyes were red, clearly showing the signs of crying. He then raised his eyes to look at the fertile wheat fields on the entire slope. What else was there to not understand?

He caught up with her pace, "Are you really okay?"

Jiang Hexi quickened his pace to avoid suspicion, "What a jerk you are, what could possibly happen to me?"

Yan Jie chased after him again.

This time, before he could even open his mouth, she ran to the front and started talking to Zhou Gongqi.

Yan Jie was just left behind by her in disgust.

After the group finished dinner, Director Chen walked in from outside with a cold face.

He stood behind the live camera and asked seriously:

"Chu Yang is suspected of advertising in the live broadcast room to promote a certain type of farmer's mooncake. The creative team has decided to give Chu Yang a serious demerit. If he has been punished three times in total, the resident guest will have to suspend the recording of the program."

The crowd was in an uproar.

The new rules and new gameplay of the second season are obviously more demanding and exciting than those of the first season.

Chu Yang immediately asked, "Then how can we be resurrected?"

Director Chen answered his question directly, "If you win the online vote, you can participate in the recording of the next round of programs as a flying guest."

This means that if you are punished three times in total, you will be completely removed from the list of permanent guests.

Chu Yang was timid and was so scared that he broke out in cold sweat.

Jiang Hexi asked, "Director, is there any chance to make up for the mistakes?"

Director Chen: "If we can have a positive impact on society, such as the Thousand Family Banquet, then our merits can offset our mistakes."

Jiang Hexi patted Chu Yang on the shoulder and consoled him, "It's okay. All the credit for the mooncakes this time goes to you. It's just the right amount to make up for this mistake."

Chu Yang was relieved now, "Thank you, sister."

Jiang Hexi smiled instead of getting angry and said, "Director Chen, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. Have you prepared mooncakes for the staff of the program?"

Director Chen had a stern face and said nothing.

Jiang Hexi said in disbelief, "It's a big festival, you really don't want to give mooncakes to your staff?"

The assistant director saw that she had said this and immediately stepped forward to clarify:

"The director will definitely give mooncakes to the staff, you don't have to worry about that."

Jiang Hexi gave Chu Yang a look, and Chu Yang immediately pulled out two boxes of mooncakes from under the table and placed them in the middle of the rectangular table.

Yu Xiangwan and Liu Yuxi removed the dishes on the table, leaving the mooncake box prominently placed in the center.

Director Chen warned again, "Jiang Hexi, please don't advertise in the live broadcast room."

"What did I advertise?"

Jiang Hexi picked up the two boxes of mooncakes and put them into the assistant director's arms. "Take them back and try them. If you think they are suitable, come back to us to place an order."

The assistant director saw the entire production process of this mooncake and was moved:

"How much is a box of mooncakes?"

"There are only two prices for Canglang Village's farmer's homemade mooncakes. The meat-filled ones are 15 yuan each, and the vegetarian ones are 10 yuan each. Your two boxes of eight five-kernel barbecued pork cost a total of 120 yuan."

The assistant director exclaimed, "So conscientious?"

Shen Yingyu immediately spoke a piece of advertising slogan:

"The Canglang Village farmer's homemade mooncakes are absolutely the best value for money. They are not 35 yuan, not 25 yuan, but only 15 yuan. You can enjoy the five-kernel barbecued pork mooncakes that are slowly baked in a clay oven with a small charcoal fire. What we are selling is a repeat customer."

The assistant director was very excited. He turned around and said, "Director Chen, we only have 200 yuan in subsidies. How about we buy two boxes each?"

Director Chen stared at him intently, until he shut his mouth tightly, and then asked them:

“Why are mooncakes with meat filling only 15 yuan each?”

Considering their traffic and the brand effect of Canglang Village, this price is really low.

Yan Jie replied:

"What we are most concerned about now is that after the farming variety show is gone, the mooncakes of Canglang Village will lose the blessing of traffic. How will the villagers continue to sell mooncakes in the future?"

"We can only rely on a large number of repeat customers and good word-of-mouth, so this time we have to sell more mooncakes so that more people can taste the authentic farm-made mooncakes."
