Chapter 438

He pointed a finger toward the area below the Mushroom House.

"Master, do you see the fields and the pond down there? These all belong to the production team, and they are the areas we will be responsible for later."

Chen Mo explained to Mei Yanfang with a smile.

When Mei Yanfang had first received Chen Mo's call, she thought the "slow-paced variety show about rural life" he mentioned was just a metaphor.

It really was like that!

And for the first time, Mei Yanfang felt so relaxed in front of the camera.

Because it was the first episode of filming, the production team provided the guests with a few ingredients.

However, the guests had to do the cooking themselves.

Just as Chen Mo and Mei Yanfang were chatting, Gege also arrived, dragging his suitcase.

"Mo Mo, how did you find such a great place?"

As soon as he walked in, Gege couldn't stop praising the place.

Like Mei Yanfang, it was his first time seeing a variety show like this.

There was absolutely no production team forcing you to do strange things, and no one managed what you did; the degree of freedom was extremely high.

"Right? It's a good thing I agreed to participate in the show, otherwise I would have missed out on such a great program."

Since arriving at Taoyuan Village, Mei Yanfang had felt very comfortable, and now she joined Gege in praising the show.

"But do we really have to cook ourselves? My cooking is terrible."

Gege spoke up.

It was almost lunchtime, and seeing that the production team wasn't making a move, it was clear that the requirement for guests to cook for themselves wasn't just for show.

"Me too, I've never cooked for myself before."

Mei Yanfang spread her hands.

In front of the screen, she was a glamorous big star, but even after finishing a show, most things were actually done by the nanny at home.

For example, cooking.

So filming this show was truly a bit difficult for them.

Mei Yanfang and Gege couldn't cook, and Yang Mi went without saying.

She had previously tried to make a love-filled bento for Chen Mo, but could only manage to fry some eggs and ham sausages.

She didn't know how to make other complicated dishes.

Not to mention using the kind of large iron wok found in the countryside; she didn't even know how to start a fire.

"What do we do? We aren't going to go hungry on the first day, are we?"

Gege was helpless.

If he had known he would have to cook on the show, he would have learned to make a few dishes beforehand.

"It's fine, I'll handle the cooking for the show."

Just as the three of them were bewildered, Chen Mo had already started preparing the food.

"You...?"

All three were very surprised.

"Mo Mo, you can cook?"

Mei Yanfang was somewhat incredulous.

"How can I not believe this?"

Gege scratched his head, also completely disbelieving that Chen Mo could cook.

Mainly because Chen Mo just had a face that didn't look like it could cook.

Yang Mi also looked at Chen Mo hesitantly; she had never seen Chen Mo cook either.

Chen Mo smiled.

In truth, he hadn't really cooked before, but back when he drew from the system, he had won a top-tier cooking skill, so even if he hadn't cooked, the food he made definitely wouldn't be bad.

Just as the three were looking at Chen Mo suspiciously, he had already started handling the ingredients.

His movements were very skillful.

It left Yang Mi and the others dumbfounded.

Not to mention Yang Mi and the others, even the production team was stunned.

You have to know that before filming started, they had worried about the guests' meals.

Other guests were one thing, but Chen Mo was different; he wasn't just a guest invited to the show, he was everyone's boss.

So the production team had been considering secretly providing them with extra food if they really couldn't cook.

They hadn't expected Chen Mo to actually be able to cook!

"All done, come and eat."

Chen Mo placed the last dish on the table.

"Wow, Mo Mo, if I hadn't seen you make the food with my own eyes, I definitely wouldn't believe this was cooked by you."

Gege looked at the food Chen Mo had prepared, his eyes shining.

Mei Yanfang and Yang Mi were also hungry, and all four sat at the dining table.

Taking the first bite of Chen Mo's cooking, everyone's eyes lit up.

"So delicious! Mo Mo, your skills are comparable to a five-star Michelin chef."

After eating a bite of Kung Pao Chicken, Mei Yanfang spoke up in pleasant surprise.

Gege already had no mouth left to speak.

Although this meal consisted of simple home-cooked dishes, the taste definitely surpassed any meal they had eaten before.

"I didn't expect Mo Mo to be so amazing; not only can he cook, but he also made it satisfying for the other three guests at the same time."

"Just look at Gege's reaction; they definitely aren't saying it's delicious just for the show's effect."

"So hungry, I'm so close yet I can't eat it."

"Handsome and can cook; I feel like after 'Longing for Life' ends, the number of people wanting to marry Chen Mo will skyrocket."

"Wuwuwu, how can such a perfect person as Brother Mo exist!"

The production team staff whispered among themselves; they had been hungry for a long time just smelling the aroma.

To think they were worried about whether Chen Mo and the others would have food to eat; they never expected the production team to be the ones going hungry first!

Everyone ate a lot during this meal; even Yang Mi ate an entire bowl of rice for the first time ever.

After finishing the meal, the show's director finally walked out.

"Everyone has finished eating. Today's lunch ingredients were provided for free by the production team. From the next meal onwards, guests will need to find their own ways to obtain ingredients. You can exchange labor for ingredients through farming and other work. During the filming of the show, the use of any of your payment methods is prohibited."

The director spoke to the guests using a megaphone.

"This is just like wilderness survival, isn't it?"

Hearing the director's words, Yang Mi's eyes lit up.

This show was not only novel, but it also seemed quite fun.

Mei Yanfang and Gege also exchanged glances; both of them had higher expectations for the show in their hearts.

On the other side, at the entrance to Taoyuan Village.

"Are Mo Mo and the others inside?"

Andy Lau, wearing sunglasses, dragged his suitcase as he walked inside.

Jackie Chan also dragged another suitcase, walking beside him.

"This is my first time seeing a variety show filmed inside a village; Mo Mo and the others' show seems quite special."

Jackie Chan looked at the production team, who barely appeared throughout the process, and for the first time felt that filming a show could be this relaxed.

When the two of them arrived at the Mushroom House, Yang Mi and Mei Yanfang were washing the dishes.

Chen Mo and Gege had gone inside the house to start decorating the interior of the Mushroom House.

"No way, there isn't even any furniture."

Gege was dumbfounded.

"It is indeed very empty."
