Chapter 183: Chapter 12: The Variety Show Control Group Refuses to Be Cannon Fodder (Part 12)

[Don’t try to be a hero at a time like this]

[Based on her past performance, I think she can do it]

[This kind of cauldron ladle is really heavy]

[Can’t we wait a bit, don’t waste the food, it’s all grown with the hard work of the villagers]

[Does she know how to start a fire?]

Everyone present was also deeply skeptical.

Standing out at this time would definitely put one at the center of the camera, and it would definitely attract attention and discussion, but the premise is that one must perform well, otherwise, it would be easy to get criticized.

Jiang Lai rolled up her sleeves and glanced at Yangyang.

"Son, go with the other kids to the corner and pick up some dry firewood, and pull out some straw."

Upon hearing this, Yangyang immediately ran over to the haystack and pulled a bunch of straw, then brought it over to Jiang Lai. His skilled operation stunned everyone.

Is this still the mischievous child from yesterday?

[Wow, Yangyang is so amazing, he even knows what straw is]

[I suggest watching the replay just now, Yangyang was super great]

Seeing this, several kids followed Yangyang’s lead and energetically went to pick up dry wood.

Initially uninvolved, Hengheng finally voluntarily went over to help collect firewood as well.

Meanwhile, Jiang Lai scooped some rice, cleaned it, and poured it into the big pot. After adding a bit of water and a few slices of cured meat spread evenly on the rice, she covered the pot and began to start the fire at the stove.

Under the camera, Jiang Lai’s actions were skilled. She first stuffed some dry firewood into the stove, then lit the dry straw with a match and stuffed it in. Finally, she used a pair of tongs to gently poke it, and the dry wood quickly ignited, with white smoke slowly coming out of the chimney.

Yu Yan and Yang Bing took the lead in applauding.

"Wow Jiang Lai, you’re good at this, did you do it before?"

Jiang Lai nodded.

"When I was a child, I lived with my grandma, and we used this kind of big stove at home."

She didn’t say a single unnecessary word, and there was neither much self-praise nor much reminiscence, just a calm recounting of her childhood.

[Is this the first time Jiang Lai has talked about her past?]

[Couldn’t tell that she actually grew up in the countryside]

[She doesn’t shy away from admitting her rural background, such an idol is really likable]

[Just playing the sympathy card, what’s so great about being from the countryside]

[That way of speaking, isn’t Mo Wanwan also from the countryside? Aren’t their fathers biological brothers?]

[Wait a minute, I remember Mo Wanwan said she studied abroad since childhood, am I wrong?]

[Jiang Lai knows how to use the stove, what she said must be true, Mo Wanwan is so vain]

Mo Wanwan’s face didn’t look too good.

She shared the same grandma as Jiang Lai, so what Jiang Lai said was tantamount to revealing her background too.

At that moment, facing the camera, Mo Wanwan felt like her secrets were exposed, her body couldn’t help but tremble, and her palms were sweaty.

Jiang Lai did it on purpose.

She clearly used to say she grew up in the city, and now, in order to gain sympathy, she’s changed her story.

How did she never notice how two-faced Jiang Lai was before?

Besides, the program was supposed to leave the cooking part to her, but it turned into Jiang Lai’s solo show, standing on the side without even a chance to speak. Jiang Lai didn’t even call her over to help, intentionally causing her embarrassment. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

This must have been planned by the program team.

Jiang Lai must have more powerful capital behind her, while she became a stepping stone, the bait to attract attention, a vain liar.

Mo Wanwan was lost in thought, hating the dark machinations of capital, while on the other side, Jiang Lai had already prepared the ingredients. Others helped wash vegetables, plates, and firewood; Jiang Lai swiftly chopped the cured meat, peppers, pork, cabbage, and all other necessary ingredients, heated the oil to start cooking.

The smell of rich oil and thick sauce pervaded from the chimney, with the spicy, salty notes and the original aroma of the food filling everyone’s nostrils. In front of the camera, Jiang Lai wielded the wok shovel, expertly adding all the seasonings. The seven dishes, steamed, fried, boiled, and stir-fried, were quickly ready.

The live streams of five people overlapped, with viewer numbers reaching five million, with the heat continuously climbing. Seeing this, the director took the opportunity to hand her a broadcast script while Jiang Lai took a moment away from the camera.

"Can you memorize these few lines?"

Jiang Lai glanced over it, nodded.

"Got it."

"Got it?"

Under the director’s incredulous gaze, Jiang Lai returned to the stove, skillfully scooping out the dishes while naturally reciting a commercial script to the camera, without any pause or stiffness, smoothly branding the cookware in this bustling scene.

[Jiang Lai is truly a treasure]

[Why pick her among so many guests to endorse if there’s no behind-the-scenes maneuvering]

[How can someone love performing so much? When Wanwan said she wanted to cook earlier, Jiang Lai remained silent]

[I’m just a passerby fan, but Jiang Lai seems pretty scheming]

[Notice how some fans are starting to stir things up again, don’t ruin your idol’s public image with outsiders]

[I can almost smell the fragrance of the food through the screen]

[That little stir-fried cured meat feels like it could go with three bowls of rice!]

People outside the screen were drooling, and those present were seduced to the point of drooling uncontrollably.

A few kids were already eagerly waiting, and Jiang Lai picked some corn from the soup to fill their stomachs.

A total of six dishes and one soup, paired with steamed rice with cured meat, a full table of savory dishes, even the surrounding staff couldn’t help but swallow their saliva.

After arranging the bowls and chopsticks, everyone sat down to eat. Even Yang Bing, who was particularly strict about managing her figure, couldn’t resist repeatedly taking bites of the little stir-fried cured meat, and, after a bowl of rice, couldn’t help but drink a big bowl of corn and dried shrimp fish soup, its salty shrimp paired perfectly with the fresh fish bones, the taste was extremely homely.

Wang Xuan’er actually never really liked Jiang Lai since privately, she got along well with Mo Wanwan and knew all the disgraceful things Jiang Lai had done.

But now she had to admit that Jiang Lai really had some talent in cooking, with the rice carrying a faint smoky flavor. It was especially delicious, perhaps because of their hunger.

The kids were busy eating with their heads down, while Dan Dan, sweet-tongued, kept complimenting, and the other kids followed suit with praise.

Mo Wanwan ate only a few bites before putting down her chopsticks, despite the delicious food, she wasn’t very hungry.

Yu Yan looked up and asked her.

"Why eat so little? I heard there’s still another event this afternoon, better eat more to store some energy."

"There’s a new drama that requires me to lose weight, I’ve already eaten too much today, can’t eat more."

"Wow, you’re so dedicated."

[Wanwan has always been super dedicated, here’s a shoutout for her new drama, airing on November 2nd]

[Isn’t Jiang Lai also joining the cast?]

[Why all the pretense, what’s the point of not eating after getting a paycheck from a variety show? Spoiling everyone’s appetite]

After lunch, everyone went back to rest. Since all communication devices were taken away upon arrival, there was nothing else to do but take a nap.
