Chapter 949: Miss Luo Quan is Under My Protection!

Amidst the endless stream of praise, everyone finished their breakfast.

A new day began, and everyone grabbed their tools and followed He Qiong to work in the fields.

Autumn had just arrived, officially the busiest time of the year.

Fortunately, there weren't too many vegetables planted, so everyone chatted while picking, and the atmosphere was quite relaxed.

"You guys even planted rice?" Miss Luo Quan saw the golden rice in the fields; it was clearly almost ripe.

"We planted it in the summer, preparing to harvest it in a few days." Wang Lei stood with his hands on his hips, looking with satisfaction at the promising rice field before him.

In fact, they only participated in a small part of the rice planting, mainly digging the fields and diverting water; the rest was done by local farmers hired by the production crew to help with the transplanting.

It wasn't that they didn't want to transplant it themselves; they really didn't know how.

The first time they transplanted, everyone was full of energy, and they finished the work in one afternoon.

As a result, when they went to the field the next day, almost all the transplanted seedlings were floating on the water.

At this moment, they realized that they couldn't handle every kind of crop when it came to farming.

Don't let the fact that rice sounds familiar fool you; it is one of the crops Chinese people are most familiar with, but growing it well is really not that simple.

If you don't understand it at all and think that transplanting is just gently sticking the seedlings into the soil, you would be very wrong.

After this mishap, the guests didn't try to show off again and obediently asked the nearby farmers to transplant it again.

Now the rice was about to be harvested. Although they didn't transplant it with their own hands, they at least dug the fields and applied fertilizer, so the sense of participation was still there, which was why they were so proud.

"So, have you found a threshing machine?" Miss Luo Quan asked, looking at the two or three acres of rice.

"There doesn't seem to be a threshing machine in town." Wang Lei smiled awkwardly. "I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but I actually don't know how to thresh rice."

Teacher Wang came from a wealthy family with a deep background and had never been exposed to farm work since he was a child. When they planted the rice before, he had Baidu-ed how to plant it, but he hadn't Baidu-ed how to harvest it yet.

"Actually, it's very simple. There's not much technical content; it's just about putting in hard effort."

Miss Luo Quan pointed to the rice field and said, "If there's no threshing machine or harvester, you can only let the guests take sickles and cut it down bundle by bundle, and then use a throwing and smashing method to separate the rice grains from the stalks.

These two steps are the most tiring. If you want to make it more convenient, I suggest getting a machine."

He Qiong laughed, "Let it be tiring. Aren't farmers all this tired?"

That was indeed the truth.

Although technology is advanced now and there are many machines to reduce the burden of labor.

But in many areas, farmers still use the most primitive methods to harvest crops.

The stupid way is, of course, tiring.

However, for He Qiong and Wang Lei, it might be a good thing for the guests to be a bit tired.

Because isn't what the audience wants to see them suffering and being tired?

So, neither of them was particularly worried.

And Miss Luo Quan, the guest star, was rejoicing that she would be done filming and leaving tomorrow. If she stayed here to accompany them in threshing rice with the stupid method, how tired would she be?

Miss Luo Quan, who had escaped a disaster, secretly rejoiced in her heart, while quickly scooping up a small fish from the rice field.

These were put in by the production crew specifically for the guests to catch, to increase the comedic moments while filming.

Because every guest would become clumsy after entering the field, if they were asked to catch fish, it would be a blessing if they didn't trip themselves over.

But Miss Luo Quan's strength was clearly incomparable to others. Catching a fish was such a simple matter; wouldn't it be done with one bend and one reach?

Looking at the lively grass carp in Miss Luo Quan's hand, the other guests showed surprised expressions.

"Damn, how did you catch it? I chased it for a whole day yesterday and didn't catch it," Peng Yuchang said in disbelief.

Guo Qilin immediately added, "Just kidding, my Sister Luo is the world's number one female boxer; what's catching a fish to her?"

"We have fish to eat tonight." Zhang Zifeng laughed very happily.

Hearing this pure foodie remark, everyone laughed out loud.

After laughing, everyone lowered their heads and continued to work.

*A Yearning Life* is just like this; there are no twists and turns in the plot, and no tense and exciting games; there is only day-after-day labor.

Plain and simple, but full of moving feelings in its simplicity.

As a slow variety show, it is the ceiling in the country. People who like it really like it, and people who don't like it just find it boring and lacking passion.

Farm work—eating, is the main direction of the show's filming.

And the "Truth or Dare" session at dinner time can be considered a summary of an episode.

Compared to last night, tonight's meal was even more bountiful.

Just a pot of braised pork and a pot of spicy boiled fish were enough to make the young people unable to stop sneaking into the kitchen.

There was no help for it; the two dishes Miss Luo Quan made were just too fragrant and tempting.

After finally waiting until the meal started, everyone didn't stand on ceremony at all and immediately reached out with their chopsticks to feast.

Although Miss Luo Quan herself didn't like to eat fish, she knew how to make boiled fish.

It seemed that the others were quite satisfied with this dish; one piece of fish was enough to eat nearly a third of a bowl of rice.

As for herself, she only picked braised pork and stir-fried lettuce stalks.

Because the food was so delicious, everyone's mouths couldn't be idle at all, and even the Truth or Dare session was dragged until after they were full before it started.

Originally, this session was supposed to be done while eating, but today that was clearly not possible.

Everyone was full, and in the end, they were half-lying on the sofa, not wanting to blink their eyelids.

"Everyone, let me set the theme."

He Qiong ate a little less and could still speak, but his expression was quite strained:

"What is a yearning life? Some people might say it's just eating well and dressing warmly after hard work, but this is only the most basic life.

What people truly yearn for is eating well and dressing well. After finishing the food Miss Luo Quan made today, I finally understood: this is the life I yearn for!"

"Haha, it's a pity that Sister Luo is leaving tomorrow." Guo Qilin laughed.

He Qiong nodded gently, "So, I plan to study cooking hard starting today. I don't ask to have Miss Luo Quan's level, but at least I should be able to make whatever I want to eat, and it should be delicious!"

"That's not easy." Wang Lei turned over on the sofa, lying on his right side to reduce the pressure on his stomach as much as possible.

"That's why I need to study seriously." He Qiong clenched his fists as if he had made a decision to add another skill to his repertoire.

Just like that, the "Truth or Dare" session, which was supposed to last a long time, ended hastily.

Everyone didn't expect that they would have no heart to continue the show because they were too full. After lying down for a while like this, everyone went back to their rooms to lie on their beds.

It was fortunate that the material was already enough; otherwise, this episode of the show couldn't really be called complete.

Miss Luo Quan, whose filming was basically finished, booked a flight back to Shanghai on the bed, leaving early tomorrow morning.

Peng Yuchang, Guo Qilin, and the others were also going to the airport, but their destinations were different; one was flying to Beijing to film, and the other was going to Tianjin to perform crosstalk.

Everyone's itinerary was packed. Don't look at the fact that they had to do farm work in *A Yearning Life*; it was hard to say who was more relaxed compared to the other side.

"Goodbye—"

Early the next morning, Miss Luo Quan and the others got into the car amidst the farewells of the filming crew.

By the time she got off the plane and arrived in Shanghai, it was already four hours later.

The first thing she did when she returned to Shanghai was to go home and stir-fry two dishes: shredded pork with garlic sauce and twice-cooked pork, both of which were very, very appetizing home-cooked dishes.

The reason she was so urgent was that she hadn't been full at all during the two days on the show.

Ever since she broke through the first layer of the *Great Immortal Art*, her appetite had soared. The amount of food she used to eat couldn't fill her stomach at all. Less than two hours after a meal, her stomach would start rumbling.

The key was that on the show, all three meals had to be filmed, so she didn't dare to eat to her heart's content.

If the scene of her eating ten bowls of rice in one go was exposed, wouldn't the nickname "Abyssal Maw" be stuck to her for the rest of her life?

So Miss Luo Quan had been holding back for the past two days; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say she was tightening her belt to live.

After returning home, Miss Luo Quan could finally have a full meal.

"You just cooked a whole rice cooker of rice? Can you finish it?" Wen Xia asked after seeing Miss Luo Quan bring the rice cooker to the dining table; the rice inside was almost full.

"Don't worry, I can finish it." Miss Luo Quan said, directly scooping a large bowl of rice for herself with the iron basin she usually used for dishes, and then picked up her chopsticks.

"Damn, when did you change your profession to become a food streamer?"

Wen Xia and Su Yu were directly stunned. In their impression, only those food streamers would use a basin to eat.

And not every one of them was that fierce; only food streamers with the "big eater" label dared to eat like this.

And among ten such big eaters, eight were faking it.

But looking at Miss Luo Quan's formation, she was preparing to do it for real.

No, she should have already been doing it for real.

She saw her chopsticks pick up a large clump of shredded pork with garlic sauce, drip some oil on the rice, stuff it into her mouth, and then lower her head to shovel a large mouthful of rice, filling her entire cheeks.

But she didn't see her chew a few times before the rice and dishes in her mouth were swallowed directly.

This wild eating style made the two women's necks tighten, and they immediately sat over and asked with concern: "Luo Bao, did you not eat in the mountains? Why do you look like you've been starving for three days and three nights?"

"That's not the reason." Miss Luo Quan shook the chopsticks in her hand. "After my martial arts realm broke through a while ago, my appetite suddenly became huge. I guess it's because my physique has become stronger, but the body's consumption has also become larger, so I need a large amount of energy to replenish it.

Besides spiritual energy, food is also a source, so my appetite has become much larger."

"You scared me; I thought you had some kind of binge eating disorder." Wen Xia and Su Yu both breathed a sigh of relief.

High physique and high energy consumption—this statement holds water.

For example, those athletes often have very large appetites and have to eat several meals a day.

Miss Luo Quan's physical fitness is stronger than the fiercest athletes in this world, so it's not incomprehensible that her appetite is so large.

"By the way, I'm going to go into seclusion for a while after I finish eating. I won't go out during this time, and you don't need to send me food." Miss Luo Quan took another large mouthful of food and then turned to Wen Xia.

"Got it." Wen Xia made an "OK" gesture. "If anyone comes looking for you, I'll just say you're doing artistic creation and won't see anyone."

"Good excuse, just say that." Miss Luo Quan praised.

However, because she ate too fast, she choked and coughed heavily twice, her face turning red.

Wen Xia couldn't help but laugh and cry when she saw this: "You'd better stop talking. It'll be troublesome if you choke into your trachea later."

"It's okay, I have a steel-reinforced body." Miss Luo Quan took a deep breath, indicating that she had no major problems.

It was indeed as she said; her body was already very strong and tough, and even the parts that looked fragile were as strong as her outer skin.

It's just that Wen Xia and the others didn't know it.

After no one talked, Miss Luo Quan lowered her head and focused on eating. Before long, the rice in the basin had bottomed out.

Just when Wen Xia thought she was full, she saw her pour all the rice from the rice cooker into the basin and fill it with another half-basin.

"Yo, your appetite is so good now?"

Gao Liang walked over at this time and saw his sister eating with a basin, saying with a smile.

"You might not believe it, but if Miss Luo Quan finishes this basin of rice, she will have finished a full rice cooker of rice."

Wen Xia stared at Miss Luo Quan on the dining table, feeling that this girl was walking further and further on the road to becoming an Abyssal Maw.

"A rice cooker?!" Gao Liang's mouth was so surprised that he could stuff an egg into it. "I've only seen people eating with a rice cooker on Bilibili, but ours is much bigger than theirs."

"So your sister is amazing. She said this is a side effect of martial arts progress. Energy consumption is high, so the appetite naturally becomes large."

"Correct you on one point."

Miss Luo Quan's mouth was bulging, looking at Wen Xia and saying: "This is not a side effect, but a necessary behavior to satisfy energy needs. How can things like eating and sleeping be called side effects?

And after your martial arts levels are higher in the future, you will also become more and more able to eat. You can't escape it."

"This is good." Gao Liang was quite excited after hearing this. "I usually like to eat, but my appetite is limited, and I can't taste everything. If my appetite really becomes as big as yours, sister, it's definitely great news for me."

"Then I won't get fat, right?" Wen Xia's expression became a bit worried.

What she fears most is getting old, which is actually getting fat.

"You will if you don't exercise." Miss Luo Quan waved her hand. "Don't worry, how can you get fat by replenishing basic energy? Unless you don't practice martial arts and just eat and drink recklessly all day."

"You gave me a false alarm." Wen Xia breathed a sigh of relief.

While talking, Miss Luo Quan had already solved all the remaining rice and dishes. Except for the vegetable oil and spices, she basically ate it clean.

After eating her fill, she covered her mouth with a tissue and let out a loud burp.

Amidst everyone's laughter, she ran upstairs, intending to avoid the limelight first. ===== CHAPTER 950 =====
