After Transmigrating into the Main Shou, I Topped the Paranoid Big Shot 35

Chapter 35

Zong Mo wanted to laugh at Ruan Chi being attacked by a dog, but it turned out he was next.
The adobe kitchen was covered in a thick layer of dust. To wash ingredients and get water, he had to go to the courtyard to draw water from a well.
Modern inventions like washing machines, of course, did not exist in the eco-friendly green cabin. The program team had reminded them that they were entirely dependent on solar power, so they didn’t even dare to turn on too many lights.
To avoid the trouble of washing clothes, Zong Mo left only a single layer of clothing on, draped the free rustic cotton jacket over it, and squatted in the courtyard to wash the cured meat. Because stir-frying with a charcoal fire produced a lot of dust, he also wrapped a towel around his head to avoid getting his hair full of ash every day.

As the sky grew darker, viewers who had gotten off work and school gradually flooded into the live stream, and this was the scene they saw.
A sexy farmer, washing vegetables online.

【Isn’t the purpose of Field Diary to let celebrities be self-reliant? Why aren’t they washing their own vegetables?】
【That’s Mo Mo (although I don’t want to admit it either) (lights cigarette silently)】
【Was it you who said Mo Mo looked like a villager last time!!】
【Husband Mo Mo is so homey and down-to-earth, this local dog loves it.】
Zong Mo first took the cleaned cured meat into the kitchen. He didn’t need to think to know that Ruan Chi would definitely not be willing to eat it. He might even be disgusted by the wok that had been used to cook the cured meat.
He walked around the courtyard and set his sights on the two strings of chili peppers hanging at the main entrance.
Tu Bu: ?
“Wait, what are you going to do to the chili peppers?”
Tu Bu was the director, but his desire to perform was no less than that of the artists. He had to appear on camera from time to time.
“Can’t I touch these chili peppers?”
“These are decorations hanging at the entrance…”
Zong Mo pinched a chili pepper and said, “It’s a real chili pepper.”
Tu Bu: ?
“Wait, wait…”
Tu Bu didn’t have time to stop him. The chili peppers were already in the kitchen.

The oil that Ruan Chi’s watch had been exchanged for was a five-liter bucket, more than enough. Zong Mo directly poured a generous amount of oil into the wok and extravagantly fried the chili peppers.
The cameramen in the kitchen were choked out one by one. The remaining cameras were also covered in a layer of white smoke, visibly choking.
【Mo Mo, what are you doing to the chili peppers! Cough, how am I also being choked through the screen?】
Choking was one thing, but it was more fragrant. Before long, another fearless cameraman was drawn in. Even people who were afraid of spicy food were drooling.
? What was going on?
The cameraman slowly moved to the side of the wok and found that the chili peppers in the oil had been cut into small pieces and were being fried with sesame seeds and peanuts, giving off a fragrant aroma.

Tu Bu came over to take a look, and his whole person was not well.
They had put some peanuts and sesame seeds in a glass jar in advance, placing them by the window as decorations. They had thought that these pampered celebrities wouldn’t touch raw nuts. If they were starving, they might take out some raw peanuts to gnaw on, which might even contribute a few memes.
But Zong Mo had actually fried the peanuts and sesame seeds while he wasn’t looking!
So what if they were fried? There were no seasonings. How could they be delicious?!
It turned out that stealing the chili peppers was just a feint… wait, that’s not right. The chili peppers were the main dish.
The unremarkable chili peppers, and the peanuts and sesame seeds that wouldn’t be delicious without seasoning, when fried together, were incredibly fragrant!
Slow-fried over low heat, the aroma was explosive, causing a wave of drooling.

“It will only be crispy when it’s cool,” Zong Mo said.
But the cameraman who was afraid of spicy food couldn’t wait and put a small piece of chili pepper in his mouth.
Tu Bu didn’t forbid the staff from appearing on camera or speaking, so the cameraman directly asked, “How is it not spicy?”
“After cutting them into small pieces, I sifted out the chili seeds, so it’s not very spicy, just fragrant,” Zong Mo said. “I also coated them with a layer of flour before frying to stick the chili pieces, peanuts, and sesame seeds together. This makes it more fragrant, and the nuts also reduce the spiciness.”
【Save me, I don’t eat spicy food, but I’m actually crying from the fragrance of the chili peppers??】
The program team’s residence was also nearby. They had hired a special chef to cook, and the ingredients were complete. The aroma was constantly wafting over to their side, making the twins who were cleaning the house extremely hungry.
Now, the tables had turned. Tu Bu, who had eaten and drunk his fill, felt his uncooperative stomach was hungry again.
Speaking of which, the sandwiches he had snatched during the pilot filming were really delicious…
He, with the expectations of the entire program team, came to question Zong Mo, who had secretly fried the decorations, and to rob him at the same time!

But Zong Mo spoke first, “Director Tu, we have no more luggage to exchange. Can we exchange for some food?”
Tu Bu: …It’s not impossible. But he absolutely could not agree first!
Zong Mo continued, “This fried chili pepper is especially good with drinks. I guarantee it’s fragrant.”
Tu Bu: …He could already smell the fragrance. But he absolutely could not admit it!
Zong Mo didn’t make a difficult request, just said, “Exchange the finished side dish for two eggs and a handful of greens. Deal?”
Zong Mo’s request was not excessive. Tu Bu also didn’t believe he could make anything special with these few ingredients. He made a proper, equivalent exchange with him.

Two small local eggs and a handful of lettuce were not enough for the four of them. Zong Mo only added ingredients to one bowl of congee. The rest was plain white congee, served with thinly sliced stir-fried cured meat.
The cured meat was also very fragrant. And it was snatched, free cured meat, which felt even more fragrant.
The guests and staff present were all very satisfied with the cured meat, except for Ruan Chi.
Zong Mo thought to himself, it was indeed a bit much to make his CEO Ruan eat cured meat that had been carried by a dog. And Ruan Chi usually didn’t like overly processed cured foods.
When Ruan Chi saw the bowl of white congee with extra ingredients in front of him, his face finally looked a little better.
Qi Zhiyi, who had been treated differently, immediately asked, “Why are there greens and an egg in Ruan Chi-ge’s congee?”
The bullet comments, which had a god’s-eye view, all scrolled: [So Mo Mo fried chili peppers for an hour for CEO Ruan. I’m dying from the ship TvT]

Qi Zhiyi took a bite of the cured meat and immediately forgot the question he had just asked, exclaiming, “Wuwuwu, so fragrant. I haven’t had such authentic cured meat in so many years! Before participating in the show, to lose weight, I was tired of boiled eggs and greens. Cured meat is more fragrant!”
Qi Nanfeng also nodded in agreement, “The cured meat is very delicious.”
Zong Mo followed their words and said, “Mm, as long as you like it. Ruan-ge is on a diet.”
White congee with a poached egg and boiled greens was not unpalatable, but it was truly bland. He couldn’t taste anything in his mouth, but he could constantly smell the endless fragrance of the cured meat in his nose.
Ruan Chi, on a diet: …

With only cured meat as a dish, the three of them quickly finished the large plate of meat.
The night without any electrical appliances seemed particularly long. And with the program team’s request, they were forbidden from playing with their phones in front of the camera unless absolutely necessary.
Because there were no beds, everyone had to sleep on the floor at night. There was more than one bedroom, but only one had a wooden floor.
The twins were very used to group life and were also very adaptable. Qi Zhiyi also liked a lively atmosphere and was very happy for everyone to lie on the floor and chat while sleeping.
Ruan Chi was clearly extremely resistant, but there was a mysterious local dog downstairs. Besides staying in the bedroom upstairs, he had no other choice.
When everyone entered the second-floor bedroom, Hope also wanted to follow, but Zong Mo was quick to shut it out.
After pacing for a while, the bored Hope chose to sleep on the soft cushion in the living room. Suddenly, the creaking sound of a door opening came, followed by the light being turned on. The big yellow dog immediately jumped up and let out a vigilant “Woof!”

Ling Han wasn’t very afraid of dogs. And since the program team dared to leave the dog here, it meant that this seemingly fierce and sturdy big yellow dog wouldn’t bite people casually.
Whether the dog bit or not was not important. What was important was that he was hungry, very hungry.
Like the twins, because he had to eat dinner on the show at night, he was only allowed to eat a small salad by his manager in the morning.
Unexpectedly, with a delayed flight and a broken-down bus, he only arrived at the green cabin at bedtime.
Along the way, besides a few bottles of water, he hadn’t eaten a single grain of rice. He had even thrown up last night’s dinner on the bumpy bus.
Ling Han, who had just appeared in the live stream, first contributed a loud rumble to everyone.
Ling Han: …

The audience at night was much larger than during the day. The bedroom was quiet. The fans of the four people upstairs and the onlookers all gathered here at Ling Han’s.
And then, they burst into heartless laughter.
[Hahahaha, why is this kid never full?]
[My son is still growing, his metabolism is high, please forgive him…]
The empty-stomached Ling Han’s intuition was particularly sharp. He accurately found the kitchen, but only saw a pile of cleanly eaten bowls.
?
The few people in the bedroom heard the noise downstairs and followed the program team’s guidance to the kitchen.
Zong Mo breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out to be Ling Han, good thing it wasn’t Lu Bo.
Ling Han, on the other hand, looked at this unclean person, hesitating to speak several times. He was really craving his cooking. Even if it was unclean and he had to go to the hospital, he wanted to try a couple of bites first.
Ling Han put down his pride, abandoned his arrogance, his ears were red, and his heavenly voice became hoarse.
“…Is there any food left?”
He had finally taken this most difficult step.
But he heard that person say, “Uh, all the edible things are here…”
Ling Han: ?
These bowls with only oil stains and scraps?
He’s supposed to gnaw on them?

Zong Mo added, “Everyone has to work today, but we’ve already cleaned the house. It’s a bit late now, and not convenient to go to the fields… why don’t you just wash these bowls?”
Ling Han: ?
This strange mountain road must have taken him away from the human world.
Otherwise, what was this he was hearing?
Anyway, it wasn’t human language.
So mean.
He was only eighteen. Why did he have to suffer such torment?
But he had no other choice but to wash the bowls with tears in his eyes.

Halfway through washing the bowls alone in the kitchen, he was informed of the “equivalent exchange” rule by the program team. His usually tightly-wound ice-cube face cracked.
“Pillows and quilts… still need to be exchanged?”
Ling Han lowered his head, and his stomach rumbled again.
[My baby is so pitiful, program team, just let him go!]
[Give the kid something to eat first…]
The advantage of a live stream is that you can listen to the audience’s feedback at any time and adjust the program’s direction accordingly.
To avoid seeming deliberate, the program team decided to put some meat buns in a bag, pat Hope, and have it deliver them to Ling Han.
Ling Han took the food delivered by the big yellow dog and wolfed it down without any disgust.
[How is he even more pitiful now, hahahaha]
[Except for CEO Ruan, everyone is now one family with Hope!]

The eighteen-year-old boy had only brought a suitcase of clothes and a guitar, and some worthless things like throat lozenges to protect his voice.
Seeing him clutching the worthless guitar tightly and refusing to let go, Tu Bu kindly reminded him, “The other four have all exchanged for pillows and quilts. You can go and borrow from them.”
Ling Han came to the bedroom, so angry that he stood at the diagonal corner farthest from Zong Mo and asked, “Zhiyi-ge… can you lend me a quilt?”
Qi Zhiyi readily lent both the pillow and the quilt to this younger brother who was five years younger than him, and squeezed into one quilt with Qi Nanfeng.

【Ahhh why didn’t he borrow Zong Mo’s quilt?】
【Look at Han Han’s eyes, there’s definitely some story between him and Mo Mo. Can the program team arrange for them to sleep in the same quilt? Waiting online.】
【?? No! Mo Mo can only sleep with CEO Ruan!】
【How about letting Mo Mo also squeeze in with Nan Nan and Zhi Zhi?】
【Wait, your idea is very dangerous.】
Zong Mo, completely unaware that his quilt was being watched by the entire internet: ?
