Chapter 466

In the kitchen, the three of them huddled together and skillfully started the fire first.

After recording several episodes.

Although they still didn't know how to cook, they were very skilled at being assistants.

Starting a fire was a piece of cake for them.

"Do you guys think we should wait for the water to boil before adding the rice for porridge, or just put the rice in directly?"

Brother looked at the clay pot in front of him and asked the two people behind him very seriously.

Mei Yanfang was busy cutting vegetables.

A carrot was cut into slices, but it ended up being cut into carrot chunks, and of varying sizes at that.

Yang Mi intended to stir-fry some greens, but she threw them into the pot without washing them, mud and all; as soon as she threw them in, she was choked by the smoke and started coughing.

She couldn't even open her eyes.

Chen Mo pushed his wheelchair past the kitchen.

"I reasonably suspect you guys are trying to blow up the kitchen."

Chen Mo twitched his mouth, quite speechless.

With their setup, even if they could actually make a meal, Chen Mo wouldn't dare to eat it.

The production team was very excited.

One look and they knew several dark dishes were about to come out; the guests of Mushroom House collectively eating dark cuisine—once the show aired, it would definitely have ratings!

Just as everyone's mindset was different, there was suddenly a commotion at the door.

"Is this the place? Is anyone inside?"

A loud, Beijing-accented voice rang out at the door.

As soon as he heard this voice, Chen Mo knew who had come.

This was someone who had basically been with Chen Mo every day recently.

Sure enough, Chen Mo turned his wheelchair around and immediately saw Jiang Chao standing at the door with a large suitcase.

"Oh, Mo, you'd better not move around; let me push you."

Jiang Chao saw Chen Mo pushing the wheelchair himself and immediately walked over to help him take a few steps.

"Why are you here?"

Chen Mo looked at Jiang Chao.

He was quite happy to see Jiang Chao come on the show.

"The production team sent me an invitation, so I came; they said I could also promote *Ghost Blows Out the Light*, and I thought it was a good opportunity, plus I could come and see you."

Jiang Chao was honest and repeated the production team's words word-for-word.

It amused Chen Mo to no end.

Chen Mo let Jiang Chao go back into the house to put his things away first.

Only then did he lead Jiang Chao to the kitchen door.

"What's going on, are you guys blowing up a bunker in here?"

Looking at the commotion inside the kitchen, Jiang Chao was dumbfounded.

Chen Mo laughed.

Don't say, Jiang Chao's description was actually quite apt.

The commotion Brother and the others were making in the kitchen really did look like they were blowing up a bunker.

"Mo, why did you come over? Hurry back to your room and rest."

Yang Mi came out and wanted to push Chen Mo back.

"I came to see how I'm going to get food poisoning tonight."

Chen Mo teased with a smile.

Hearing what Chen Mo said, everyone's faces turned red, obviously feeling embarrassed.

"Let me do it."

Jiang Chao suddenly said.

Hearing Jiang Chao speak, the three of them realized that Jiang Chao was standing next to Chen Mo.

"Do you know how to cook?"

Mei Yanfang and Brother's eyes lit up; if a guest who knew how to cook came, that would be great.

"When I was filming *Cooking Class*, I went to learn how to flip a wok for a few months; ordinary home-cooked dishes are no problem."

Saying this, Jiang Chao walked into the kitchen.

But just as he was about to excitedly process the ingredients to cook, he immediately ran into a problem.

"I can cook, but there are no ingredients left in the kitchen."

Jiang Chao looked at the vegetables that had been ruined by Yang Mi and the others; those ingredients definitely couldn't be used anymore, so he had to use new ones.

He looked at the kitchen, and it was completely empty.

Just as Jiang Chao was questioning this, the production team stepped out.

"If you want to get ingredients, you must work. Chen Mo is injured and doesn't have to work, but everyone else must work to get ingredients."

The chief director held up a megaphone.

"Ah?"

Everyone said "ah" in unison.

They had almost forgotten that they needed to work to get ingredients.

"The production team is too cunning; we just got back to Mushroom House and you want us to work? Can't you just give us some ingredients for free?"

Yang Mi walked up to the production team and acted spoiled.

"No."

The chief director's attitude was very firm.

"Just give us a piece of pork belly?"

Brother also stepped forward to negotiate with the production team.

"No."

The chief director still shook his head, unmoved.

"Giving us some greens should be okay, right?"

This time, Mei Yanfang also stepped forward to speak.

"Still no."

The director hesitated slightly upon hearing Mei Yanfang's request, but still quickly refused.

The reason was simple.

One of the sources of *Longing for Life*'s ratings was watching the guests work; they had to build the show's persona now so that the show would look more interesting.

They wouldn't let this program effect go.

"Isn't it just working? Is it that tiring?"

Jiang Chao scratched his head, very confused by the guests' reactions.

Mei Yanfang, Brother, and Yang Mi all had good reputations, and they didn't look like people who couldn't work; why were their expressions so dejected when work was mentioned?

Brother walked over to Jiang Chao and patted him on the shoulder.

"See that field over there?"

Brother pointed to the field below them.

"I see it, there's only a little bit left to plow, it's pretty easy."

Jiang Chao looked at the remaining land, and there wasn't much left.

He could finish this little bit of work by himself.

"You looked wrong, not that piece, the field next to it."

Brother gave a bitter smile.

The field next to it?
