"Is everyone's stuff ready?”
In the pavilion in the mushroom house's courtyard, Huang Lei leaned comfortably on a wooden chair and asked Peng Yuchang and Zhang Zifeng.
"It's already packed. The clothes are all in the closet.”
Peng Yuchang replied.
"I've also put it away."
Zhang Zifeng smiled sweetly.
"Okay, then we should get down to business.”
Huang Lei sat up straight and said to the other guests of the program team as if he was the head of the family.
"Teacher Huang, the negotiations with the program team will all depend on you. Good luck!
He Jiong gave Huang Lei a thumbs-up and smiled evilly.
Every season, Huang Lei would come forward to negotiate with the production team.
This had already become the norm, because this job could only be done by him.
The other two program guests were too young and inexperienced, so they did not have the qualifications to be the head of the show.
He Jiong was too familiar with the production team. They had been colleagues for many years, so he really couldn't bring himself to bargain.
He Jiong was too thin-skinned to do this, so the role of the villain could only be played by Huang Lei.
"Director, the show has officially started recording. Shouldn't we give our living expenses for this season?”
Huang Lei said loudly to the executive director, Wang Zhengyu, who was behind the camera.
"Teacher Huang, the living expenses this season are a little different from the previous two seasons. You have to be mentally prepared!”
"As you can see, our new mushrooms are much more beautiful than the previous two seasons. The cost is also very high, so we have to consider the living expenses again.”
The executive director dragged out his tone and spoke in an official tone.
"Director, give me a straight answer. How much are you giving me for this season's living expenses?”
He Jiong could not help but shout at the executive director.
"Teacher He, don't be anxious. We can slowly discuss the matter of living expenses. I think the living expenses for this season..."
"Wait!"
The executive director, Wang Zhengyu, was about to say the amount he could offer when Huang Lei suddenly interrupted him.
"What happened to Teacher Huang?"
He Jiong asked in surprise.
"Peng Peng, go to the house and bring two pairs of shoes over. The more tattered and dirty the better.”
"It's best to find two pairs of smelly shoes that haven't been washed for a few months.”
Huang Lei didn't answer He Jiong. Instead, he turned to Peng Yuchang and instructed him.
"Alright, I'll go look for it now."
Peng Yuchang's eyes lit up. He immediately stood up and rushed into the mushroom house.
After a while, he returned to the pavilion with a pair of dirty and worn-out sneakers.
"Teacher Huang, why do you want Peng Peng to take the shoes? Are your shoes broken?"
The new member, Zhang Zifeng, asked with a puzzled expression.
"Lil Feng, you're still young and haven't experienced much. You still don't understand the value of these smelly shoes.”
"Don't say anything first. Just watch Teacher Huang's performance quietly from the side. Let me tell you, in Teacher Huang's hands, the power of this pair of smelly shoes is comparable to an atomic bomb.”
He Jiong said to Zhang Zifeng with a smile.
It was obvious that this pair of smelly shoes was not meant to be worn, but to intimidate the production team and threaten the executive director.
Huang Lei held two smelly shoes in each hand and smashed them on the table with force, making a loud bang.
The executive director of the program team was so frightened that his entire body trembled, and his face revealed an extremely terrified expression.
"Oh my god, you scared me.”
He Jiong was also shocked by Huang Lei's actions and shivered. He patted his chest and said with fear.
He had been accidentally injured by his teammate.
The pair of smelly shoes in Huang Lei's hands suddenly exploded with a destructive power that was too great.
"Director, you can now announce the cost of living for this season.”
Huang Lei's hands were tightly gripping the pair of broken shoes. His eyes were fixed on the executive director, Wang Zhengyu, as he threatened.
It was obvious that if the executive director Wang Zhengyu's answer did not satisfy him, the pair of broken shoes in his hands would immediately become his weapon and launch a fierce attack on the executive director of the production team.
Obviously, it was not the first time that the executive director Wang Zhengyu had experienced the power of Huang Lei's smelly shoes. Therefore, in the face of Huang Lei's threat, he could only choose to submit.
He who understands the times is a wise man. It doesn't feel good to be smashed by smelly shoes.
"In the last season, the production team sold all the agricultural and sideline products you planted, leaving more than 160 yuan.”
"There's no use for the production team to keep this money, so I might as well give it all to you.”
"How about this? The production team will fork out another 40 yuan to round it up for you. This season's living expenses will be 200 yuan.”
Executive Director Wang Zhengyu forced a smile.
"200 yuan? Oh my god, this is amazing."
"The first two seasons were only 100 yuan, but this season's living expenses have actually doubled.”
He Jiong shouted excitedly.
"At least you know what's good for you."
Huang Lei nodded in satisfaction after hearing the number. He quietly took the pair of smelly shoes off the table and threw them on the ground.
"Oh my god, so this pair of smelly shoes has such an effect.”
Zhang Zifeng said with his mouth agape.
"Teacher Huang, you're really amazing. I admire you so much.”
Peng Yuchang gave Huang Lei a thumbs up and said with admiration.
"This season, you don't need to break corn to exchange for food.”
"Look, there are many terrines in the courtyard. These are the special delicacies left behind by the villagers for you. They are enough for you to eat for a long time.”
"If you eat sparingly, you can even eat from the beginning of the recording to the end.”Director Wang Zhengyu pointed at the terrines in the courtyard and introduced them.
"Oh my god! Are the benefits this season so good?"
"You can eat without working?"
"Is this the legendary pie falling from the sky?”
He Jiong exclaimed with an exaggerated expression.
"Mr. He, this is not a free lunch. This is the legendary free lunch.”
Peng Yuchang said with a smile.
"Teacher He, Peng Peng, you're too optimistic. Do you think the production team will be so kind and kind as to let us eat a free lunch?”
"There must be a trap here. There must be a condition.”
Huang Lei was more rational. He did not believe that there would be a free lunch in the sky, nor did he believe that the production team would be so kind as to let them eat and drink for free.
The most important thing was that if he really did that, then the show would be meaningless.
The reason why the audience liked to watch "The Life To Be Seen" was because they liked to see the program's guests work hard like ordinary farmers and suffer.
If He Jiong, Huang Lei, and the others were here to eat and drink for free every day without having to work and were extremely comfortable every day, who would still watch?
The audience had all left.
"Director, don't keep me in suspense. Tell me your conditions.”
Huang Lei said to the executive director unhappily.
"Of course there is no free lunch.”
"We must respect the fruits of the villagers 'labor.”
"But you can take whatever food and things in this courtyard.”
"There is only one condition, and that is, you must fill these pots before you leave. You must return as much as you have used.”
"The food in the jar, you have to fill it up as much as you eat.”
The executive director, Wang Zhengyu, stated his conditions.
"I knew the production team wouldn't be so kind as to let us eat and drink for free here!”
"In the end, we still have to work hard.”
Huang Lei shook his head and complained to the program team.
"Quick, quick, quick. Everyone, open the jar and take a look. Make sure there's really food inside. Don't be tricked by the director.”
He Jiong suddenly said to Peng Yuchang and the others.
It was obvious that they did not trust the production team and the executive director very much. They were afraid that the executive director would set them up, so they immediately opened the boxes and inspected the goods to see if there were really local delicacies in the jars that the executive director had mentioned.
"Wow, so many chopped chilies. They smell so good.”
Peng Yuchang opened a clay jar, which was filled with bright red chopped chili.
"This is good stuff. The taste of this stir-fried dried chili is simply amazing.”
He Jiong swallowed his saliva and said with a lingering expression.
"Fried chicken is also delicious."
Huang Lei added with a face full of surprise.
As the chef of the mushroom house, Huang Lei was naturally very confident in his cooking skills.
After seeing this jar of chopped chili, many recipes had already appeared in his mind. He believed that everything he made would be delicious.
"Mr. He, Mr. Huang, come and see. There are still sour radishes here.”
After Zhang Zifeng opened a clay pot, he found that it was filled with marinated white radishes.
"This sour radish is the best for porridge. The taste is simply amazing.”
He Jiong swallowed hard and said happily.
"And here, there's marinated dried fish.”
"This is the rice flower fish. It tastes the best.”
"Oh my god, these terrines are all filled with special delicacies. It's really great.”
After inspecting the goods, He Jiong, Huang Lei, and the others revealed brilliant smiles on their faces.
"There is a radish field outside that belongs to us.”
"There's also a paddy field on the mountain that can be used to raise fish.”
"There's still a vegetable field down there that we can use.”
"You have to return whatever you have eaten before you leave. You have to fill up the jars.”
"If we don't fill it up, we won't be able to leave, not even if we pay.”
Director Wang Zhengyu reminded Huang Lei, He Jiong, and the others with a serious expression.
"Director, don't worry. We're all hard-working people who love to work. We won't eat and drink for free.”
He Jiong patted his chest and promised.
"Alright, now that we're done, everyone can sit down and discuss the next mission.”
Huang Lei called everyone back to the pavilion and sat down to discuss the next plan.
"What should we do next?”
Huang Lei was the first to ask.
"Doesn't Brother Qin Yun live next door?”
" Let's pay Brother Qin Yun a visit first.”
Zhang Zifeng spoke first to everyone.
"Good idea."
"That's a good suggestion."
"We should visit our neighbors first and get closer to them.”
Huang Lei nodded.
"I agree. I also want to visit my idol.”
Peng Yuchang also raised his hands in agreement.
" Teacher He, you're the only one who has met Mr. Qin Yun once. It's best if you bring us to visit him.”
Huang Lei said to He Jiong with a smile.
"No problem. Let's go and pay a visit now.”
He Jiong readily agreed. He immediately got up and led Huang Lei, Peng Yuchang, and Zhang Zifeng out of the mushroom house. They walked towards Qin Yun's courtyard next door.
