From yearning to becoming a mascot in the entertainment industry

Seeing the two of them like this, Mao Buyi suddenly felt a bad feeling in his heart.

At this time, Li Xueqin asked directly.

"Oh? Any changes?"

He Jiong and Huang Lei looked at each other with a smile, and the expressions on their faces became even weirder.

"Have you seen our previous videos?"

Hearing this, Li Xueqin raised an eyebrow.

"I'm a die-hard fan of We Yearn for You. I've watched every episode!"

Seeing her like this, Huang Lei chuckled.

"So, how did we get food in the early days? Do you remember?"

Li Xueqin was still thinking about what Huang Lei said when she heard it. The expression on Mao Buyi's face changed instantly.

He said with a look of horror: "Teacher Huang, I don't want that lion head. The noodles are actually quite delicious!"

Seeing him like this, Huang Lei and He Jiong knew that he had remembered.

So He Jiong raised his head and said proudly, "No! Once you place an order here, you can't return or exchange it."

After this period of time, Li Xueqin has also thought about the difficulty of obtaining food in the first few seasons.

The reason why Mao Buyi reacted quickly was that the recording of "Yearning" in the third season left such a deep impression on him.

At that time, in order to obtain some food, he almost broke his back from growing rice.

"Um, Mr. Huang, Mr. He, I just remembered that I have an announcement to rush to, so I'll be leaving first."

Li Xueqin said this, stood up and prepared to go out.

Seeing this, He Jiong quickly grabbed her.

"It's actually not that bad, not as scary as the first few seasons."

After hearing what He Jiong said, Li Xueqin did not sit down, but looked at him suspiciously.

"Tell me first. I'll decide whether the announcement is urgent or not based on what you say."

"It's really okay this time. You can obtain items through your own efforts, and then the program team will buy them back at market price. You can choose to ask for money and buy the ingredients yourself, or you can choose to exchange them for ingredients of equal value from the program team."

After hearing He Jiong's introduction, Li Xueqin looked around with wide eyes.

"Anything will do?"

"That's right. Anything is fine. As long as it's available on the market, the program team will purchase it based on the market price."

As soon as He Jiong finished speaking, Huang Lei hurriedly added, "But the items you obtain must be ownerless! For example, you can't take the chickens and ducks in our mushroom house, nor the vegetables in the vegetable garden."

Hearing Huang Lei's words, Mao Buyi immediately showed an awkward smile.

"Ah, so what items did we get?"

Huang Lei said those words just now because he saw Mao Buyi's eyes frequently glancing at the chickens strolling around.

Seeing him like this, He Jiong smiled and said, "Okay, let me give you a hint. There is a bamboo forest not far away."

Upon hearing this, Mao Buyi's face fell.

"Ah, digging bamboo shoots again!"

Li Xueqin's eyes lit up instead and he patted his chest confidently.

"They're just small bamboo shoots, right? I'm an expert at digging them out, I'll take you there later!"

After they chatted for a while, Li Xueqin and Mao Buyi took their tools and went to dig bamboo shoots.

Watching the two confidently leave, He Jiong smiled and joked, "Teacher Huang, do you think they can earn enough money for lunch today?"

Huang Lei was washing the dishes while looking at the two people's backs with a playful smile on his face.

"Lunch? They'd be lucky if they could earn enough to pay for dinner."

"Do you really think our program team handles personnel matters?"

In a blink of an eye, an hour and a half passed and it was already past ten o'clock.

Li Xueqin and Mao Buyi also came back carrying a large basket of bamboo shoots each.

Both of their faces were filled with smug expressions.

It has to be said that Li Xueqin is indeed better than Mao Buyi in digging bamboo shoots. In this bamboo shoot digging operation, she played the absolute main role.

However, the smug expressions on their faces soon disappeared.

A material recycling station set up by the program team.

"What? You won't accept it? Why?!"

Li Xueqin looked at Xixi, a staff member of the program team, in disbelief.

"Yes, Teacher He said it, this is possible."

Mao Buyi's face was flushed with tiredness. When he heard that the bamboo shoots he had worked so hard to dig were not being recycled, he felt very bad.

Xixi smiled and patiently explained, "We do collect bamboo shoots, but we don't collect bamboo shoots like this. We only collect processed bamboo shoots."

Seeing Xixi with a smile on his face, Li Xueqin and Mao Buyi looked at him and thought he looked like a profiteer.

Li Xueqin picked up a bamboo shoot and said incredulously, "What are you going to do with this thing?!"

Xixi didn't say anything, just smiled and nodded.

Li Xueqin nodded speechlessly, pointing at Xixi with a bamboo shoot in one hand and shaking it constantly.

She had handled bamboo shoots before and knew that after removing the unusable parts, it would be good if a little more than half was left.

But now the final say is in their hands, so she can only do as they say.

By the time the two finished processing the bamboo shoots, it was already 11 o'clock.

He Jiong and Huang Lei sat aside, eating snacks and watching the excitement.

"Teacher Huang, do you think the bamboo shoots they dug this time are enough to exchange for ingredients?"

Huang Lei took a closer look at the bamboo shoots they had cleaned out and chuckled.

"Based on their progress, we'll probably have to make two more trips to get enough food."

Sure enough, they soon heard Li Xueqin's incredulous voice.

"What? All these bamboo shoots can only be exchanged for half a pound of meat?!"

"Then we won't have lunch?"

Mao Buyi on the side also said weakly.

Xixi checked her watch, then said with a smirk, "If you keep dragging me along, at the rate you're going, you'll probably only be able to have a midnight snack."

Hearing this, Li Xueqin and Mao Buyi did not dare to waste any more time. They hurriedly took their tools and dragged their tired bodies to continue digging bamboo shoots.

At this time, the live broadcast room was also extremely lively.

"No way, it's almost noon, are the production team serious? They're really not going to give us food?"

"Brother, what are you thinking? How could they not give us food? It's all just a script. They might have finished eating long ago."

"The person above, do you just got internet access at home? Do you know what a full live broadcast means? From the moment the guests get off the car, unless they go to the bathroom, the entire broadcast is live!"

"You just believe what they say? Did you see them live broadcast the whole thing?"

"Upstairs, there's something called a sub-live broadcast room. You're watching the main live broadcast room now, and there are sub-live broadcast rooms for different people. There's a link at the bottom of the screen. Click it to jump directly."

"Even if the whole thing is broadcast live, how do you know that the guests can't eat in the toilet?"

"..."

"Whatever you want to do, my mom just told me not to talk to idiots."

With previous experience, Li Xueqin and Mao Buyi's efficiency in digging bamboo shoots gradually improved a lot. By the evening, the two had dug enough bamboo shoots to exchange for all the ingredients for the dishes they ordered.

"Teacher Huang, please cook quickly. I'm starving."

Mao Buyi slumped on the stool and spoke weakly.

At this time, Li Xueqin was too tired to speak.

"Okay, okay, I'll get started right away. Just wait a moment, it'll be quick."

Huang Lei went into the kitchen carrying the ingredients.

He Jiong poured two glasses of water for them.

"Come on, drink some water quickly, then go take a shower first. By the time you finish cleaning up, I guess Teacher Huang will have almost finished cooking."

Maybe because Huang Lei was also hungry, he cooked much faster this time than before.

After the two of them finished washing up, Huang Lei was almost done cooking.

The three of them sat at the dining table outside, looking eagerly towards the kitchen.

Suddenly, Mao Buyi seemed to have thought of something. He looked at He Jiong and asked in confusion, "Teacher He, when we were digging bamboo shoots today, we saw a house being built not far away. What's going on?"
