I snagged a bargain in a melodramatic novel and became incredibly wealthy!

"Mr. Xu, is this okay to eat?"

Xiangxiang uncertainly picked a wild vegetable that looked like a weed.

Xu Yingchuan glanced at Xiang Xiang with some surprise, then nodded calmly, his tone not showing much emotion: "Okay."

Upon hearing this, Xiangxiang smiled happily. She looked just like the masked deer, appearing innocent and harmless, and her personality was similar as well.

So she was easy to fool. She didn't feel nervous in front of Xu Yingchuan like she did in front of Wen Yu. She was very natural and used her knowledge to try to identify edible wild vegetables.

Xu Yingchuan glanced at her but didn't stop her. The wild vegetables she dug up were all edible, and there was nothing about them that required his help.

He continued whittling a branch with a knife, sharpening one end to an extremely fine point, before walking to an artificial lake.

He found this place based on a map of agritainment destinations. There were schools of fish raised there, but no fishing gear, making it very difficult to catch them by hand.

So he made a simple fishing tool and even coated it with the fragrance of a plant that fish like.

He rolled up his sleeves, revealing his fair arms with thin muscles, rolled up his trouser legs, put on his slippers, and went into the lake. He didn't go too deep, after all, this was a lake built according to natural conditions, and it was still quite deep.

His eyes were fixed sharply on the fish in the water, like an eagle, his fingers gripping the sharpened branch tightly.

Xiangxiang didn't approach him to avoid scaring the fish away. She tied the wild vegetables together with a few blades of grass and placed them aside.

After thinking about it, I went to find some tough plants and started weaving bags.

She grew up with her grandmother in the countryside, so she learned some simple weaving techniques.

She wove quickly, and as soon as Xu Yingchuan caught the first fish, she promptly handed him the woven bag.

Xu Yingchuan's eyes showed a hint of surprise, but his years as a singer had made him very good at hiding his emotions.

He reached out and pulled the fish off the branch, then tossed it into a woven bag.

Xiangxiang waited obediently by the lake, without going into the water to cause trouble.

They look so sweet and loving, like an old married couple.

The male and female protagonists of farming novels have been personified.

[So sweet! So sweet!]

[Weren't you shipping the Lion and Rabbit duo earlier?]

Who came up with that name? It's awful!

……

"Mr. Wen, the animals are so pitiful, let's eat something else."

Jian Li and Wen Yu had been walking in the mountains for several hours without finding anything.

To be precise, Wen Yu only wanted to catch animals, and he wanted to catch big animals, the kind of person who picks up sesame seeds but loses watermelons.

Jian Li even hesitated for a moment about whether she should choose him, but then she thought of his huge fan base and popularity, and smiled gently as she held back.

Jian Li handed a tissue to Wen Yu, not daring to wipe her face directly with her hands. After all, she still had to live, and she didn't have the guts to confront Wen Yu's fans right now.

Wen Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead, threw the cloth on the ground, and continued searching for his target.

Jian Li: "..."

Damn it, are you out of your mind?!

They were still filming a show! And they just left it on the ground like that?

Jian Li was truly speechless. She smiled, squatted down, picked up the tissue, looked at the crumpled tissue, and silently put it into her bag.

I can just throw this bag away.

Jian Li felt exhausted. She glanced at the setting sun. It was so late. The eerie sounds in the mountains at night were always unsettling. She didn't want to stay on the mountain so late at night.

She dug up some wild grass that looked like wild vegetables and presented it to Wen Yu: "Mr. Wen, let's eat this."

She said a little shyly, "...I'm on a diet recently, so I can't eat meat."

Seeing this, Wen Yu looked up at the sky and the mountains and fields where there wasn't a single animal in sight, and nodded with a helpless smile: "There shouldn't be any rabbits in these mountains and fields. When I was in the countryside with my grandfather, we could often catch rabbits. I've been here for so long, and I haven't seen any animals."

"There are probably no animals here, so it would be good for us to eat some wild vegetables."

After explaining, Wen Yu bent down and plucked a large handful of wild grass from the mountainside. The moment he stood up, a rabbit suddenly jumped out in front of him and hopped away.

Jian Li: "..."

Her smile nearly vanished, and she quickly turned her head away, pretending she hadn't seen it.

Wen Yu looked up at Jian Li, whose gaze was not on them, breathed a sigh of relief, and took the wild vegetables with Jian Li back home.

Viewers in the live chat commented: […awkwardly digging their toes into the ground.]

Seeing Cai Yi here, holding the director's contribution, he laughed uncontrollably: "Is he blind? He didn't catch any of the animals in the beginning, and then he says there are no animals in the mountains. It's hilarious."

The director wiped the sweat from his forehead, and sure enough, the comments section was filled with attacks on Caiyi.

As someone who wasn't subject to punishment, Caiyi sat with the production team watching the live stream.

She ate the same dinner as the production team tonight: authentic farm-style dishes, including free-range chicken and duck, all naturally grown and unpolluted.

Dinner wasn't so easy for the others. Apart from Xiang Xiang and Xu Yingchuan, Bei An'an and Zhang Ye, the other groups had no food and had to go hungry.

Foods associated with wealth: Beer-braised duck, braised chicken with potatoes, salt and pepper pork ribs, garlic-flavored bok choy, and wild vegetable soup.

Xiangxiang, Xu Yingchuan: Steamed fish, braised fish, fish head soup, stir-fried wild vegetables.

Bei An'an, Zhang Ye: Steamed eggs, braised eggs, stir-fried wild vegetables, wild vegetable soup.

Wen Yu, Jian Li, Luo Xiaoxiao, and Lu Xu sat idly at the dining table.

The director asked them to sit at the dining table and watch them eat.

The four of them unconsciously swallowed.

Jian Li's gaze fell on Luo Xiaoxiao. She blinked and said softly, "Miss Cai, I see you have so much food. Would you mind sharing some with Sister Xiao?"

"Xiaojie looks so thin, I'm afraid she'll faint from hunger..."

"sure!"

Cai Yi answered crisply and even ran to the kitchen to get a bowl and a pair of chopsticks and handed them to Luo Xiaoxiao.

Luo Xiaoxiao stared at her in astonishment.

Cai Yi raised an eyebrow: "What, planning to starve yourself to death?"

Luo Xiaoxiao didn't say anything, and just ate her food in silence.

Jian Li, feeling like she'd punched cotton, gritted her teeth and turned her gaze to Xiang Xiang, knowing she couldn't afford to offend either of the two people beside her.

This young actress, a newcomer to the entertainment industry, doesn't have many fans yet, so she seems easy to target. She revealed her beautiful face, her eyes filled with trepidation, and asked Xiang Xiang, "Could...could you share some food with us? Mr. Wen is a movie star; if he gets hungry, he won't be able to contribute good works to his fans."

Xiangxiang looked at the food on the table with some hesitation. She really wanted to share it with Wen Shen, her idol, but the food wasn't just for her.

Her gaze unconsciously drifted towards Xu Yingchuan.

Xu Yingchuan pressed her head down and said in a flat tone, "Don't talk while eating or sleeping."

Jian Li: "..."

Even the famous singer Xu Yingchuan was not someone she could afford to offend. She turned to look at Wen Yu and Lu Xu, who were staring at her, and felt a tightness in her chest.

If she wants something to eat, why doesn't she just ask? She's just staring at her; I'm speechless!

Before Jian Li could speak, Zhang Ye pushed the food towards Bei An'an and said, "Bei An'an is so thin and short, she needs to eat more, we can't share."

Jian Li: "..."
