Chapter 960 Late Night Canteen

"Everyone didn't sleep or got up early."

Luo Quan walked down and found that the staff were already in their places. He checked the time and it was only after 6:15.

The staff lived a bit far from where the guests lived, so they had to get up at least five o'clock to come over.

"I remember that the recording of the program didn't end until after eleven o'clock last night. Didn't I only sleep for less than five hours?" Luo Quan walked to the water dispenser and got some water while talking to the staff.

"No, we are in two shifts." The staff also answered Luo Quan's question enthusiastically.

"That's okay. It would be too hard to sleep for only five hours every day."

"You got up very early too." The assistant director said with a smile.

"Aren't we going to make breakfast for everyone?" Luo Quan tied up his hair, took the basket and money and went out.

She planned to make meat buns for breakfast. Since it was a last-minute idea, she planned to rush to the early market to buy two pieces of meat.

This was also agreed upon by everyone. After all, the two teachers He and Wang exchanged the money with the vegetables grown by the crew.

In fact, this mode was not available in the previous seasons, and was added after this season was aired.

The first three seasons of "Longing for Life" have the best reputation because the stars farm and eat themselves, and enjoy the joy of harvest after hard work, which brings a very relaxed and natural feeling to the audience.

But in the fourth season, the guests became a little distracted.

It didn’t matter that the filming location was at a seaside resort. The food was all brought in, and each one was more upscale than the last, such as steaks worth thousands of dollars, generous portions of seafood, and luxury yachts taking everyone out to sea.

This kind of treatment is no longer called a longing for life, but a longing for vacation.

Therefore, after the fourth season was aired, the program team was miserably appointed from top to bottom. Netizens also said that they might as well go to Europe to film the next season. Anyway, it is a paid vacation, and the scenery will be better and it will be more comfortable to watch.

Of course, if the program team really listens to these words and implements them, the reputation of "Longing for Life" will really collapse.

After learning from the pain, the program team is ready to return to its original intention and learn from similar variety shows in Kimchi Country.

That is to restrict the guests from bringing their own food and money, so that their financial resources will not be so abundant during their stay in the mushroom house.

Only in this way can they return to the period when they relied on farming and working to get paid.

Sure enough, after changing the program planning, the reputation of the fifth season of "Longing for Life" immediately changed from the previous season's decline, reaching a level slightly lower than the first three seasons.

In fact, this is how the show should have been shot.

The selling point of this type of variety show is hard work and authenticity, and fans come to see how the stars live under difficult conditions.

It would be better for you to directly arrange so many resources, so that everyone has no sense of participation at all. If netizens don't criticize you, who will not?

In short, after this word-of-mouth reversal, the pressure on all personnel has been relieved.

Of course, teachers He Qiong and Wang Lei were under greater pressure. After all, they had to work hard to improve their lives, and they also had to urge other guests to work together. The workload was indeed greater than before.

Fortunately, these two are idle now.

Mr. Wang Lei has not been filming for a long time. Since the remake of the Japanese TV series "Midnight Diner" failed, Mr. Wang seemed to have given up on himself and put the actor's career on hold and turned into a variety show star.

To put it bluntly, the reviews of the variety shows he appeared on were all good, and he was also the big brother among the guests, often taking the lead when there were differences of opinion.

In "Longing for Life", he also used his skills as a teacher, often teaching young artists how to behave in the world.

But the most commendable thing is his cooking skills and love for food.

Because I love it so much, I even went to film the epic bad drama "Late Night Diner".

Of course, the fact that this drama has become one of the lowest-rated domestic dramas on Douban is not entirely his fault. It is mainly due to various factors such as the screenwriter's shoddy revisions, poor supporting actors' acting skills, and excessive product placement.

As for how good Mr. Wang's cooking skills are, that's a matter of opinion. Anyway, it's definitely better than ordinary people.

But after Luo Quan arrived yesterday, Luo Quan was basically responsible for the food in the mushroom house.

"The Chinese cooking gods are here, so I won't show off my shame." Teacher Wang joked with a smile, and then started beating Luo Quan with peace of mind.

However, Teacher Wang is still very studious. When observing Luo Quan cooking, he often asked questions about the processing of ingredients, pickling, and heating. Luo Quan always took the trouble to answer the questions. It can be said that getting along with him was quite pleasant.

As for Teacher He Qionghe, last year was quite unsatisfactory for him.

First, some celebrity fans broke the news that he hinted at fans giving gifts, and then a large number of people came out and confirmed that he had started receiving gifts several years ago.

As a host with a public official position, this behavior must be very inappropriate, so it immediately became the target of public criticism online.

In the past ten years, Teacher He has been known for caring for his younger students, having a clean resume, and not making enemies with anyone.

During his peak period, most celebrities in the entertainment industry would send him blessings on his birthday.

But on her birthday after the accident, only a handful of celebrities sent blessings.

Just within this year, I deeply tasted what it means to be in a hot and cold world.

And just at the beginning of the year, the domestic ace variety show Kuaiben announced its end. A group of hosts left this variety show platform, which can be called the king of traffic, and have not yet found a better job.

Teacher He is an exception. Although it is indeed wrong to accept gifts, there is no problem with his business ability accumulated over decades of hosting. There are many programs for him to appear on.

In "The Longing for Life", he and teacher Wang Lei also serve as partners, welcoming every guest who comes here.

Since they no longer engage in their main business, variety shows have become their main business, so they treat them more carefully. It can be seen that the performance of the two teachers in this season is better than in the previous seasons. good.

The basic process of each issue is that during the day, two teachers lead the guests to work. After finishing their work, Teacher Huang is responsible for cooking. After dinner in the evening, Teacher He is responsible for talking to everyone and deepening the theme.

We didn’t talk for too long last night because everyone was tired from the long journey, so we went to bed early.

This is the current situation. Luo Quan, as the first guest to wake up, bought two pieces of pork at the market, which was not particularly lively.

Because of limited funds, Luo Quan did not spend money as lavishly as usual.

But she can actually live a careful life. After all, wealth and freedom are only a matter of recent years.

In order to buy the best meat with the least money, she walked around the market twice, asked four butcher shops for prices, and finally spent fifty yuan to buy two pieces of good meat.

"Hey, you guys are awake?"

After Luo Quan returned to the mushroom house, he found that Teacher He and Teacher Wang were both up and had already helped her wake up.

"You got up earlier than the two of us, and you haven't bought any meat yet." Wang Lei was even more surprised when he saw Luo Quan returning from buying meat.

According to the planning of "Longing for Life", guests generally do not interact with the filming staff, and just pretend that they do not exist and live their own lives.

Just now Luo Quan was able to say a few words because there was no one else because he got up too early.

After Luo Quan left, no one interacted with the two teachers when they went downstairs, so they didn't know that anyone had gotten up earlier than them.

Teacher Wang Lei took the meat and said with a smile: "Don't young people nowadays get up at eight or nine o'clock? It's really rare to get up at six o'clock."

"Actually, I don't usually get up so early, but I promised that I could make breakfast for you."

Luo Quan said and looked at the dough, which seemed to be too much.

But it doesn’t matter. If you can’t finish the buns, you can make fried dough sticks.

"How are you going to make breakfast with these two pieces of meat?" He Qiong asked Luo Quan, holding the meat in his hand.

"Chop one piece into meat fillings to make steamed buns, and save the other piece for braised pork in the evening."

With that said, he took a piece from He Qiong's hand and prepared to cook it first to remove the smell.

She planned to make two types of meat fillings, fresh meat and sauced meat.

The most troublesome part of the entire cooking process is the mincing stage.

Luo Quan held two kitchen knives in his hand and quickly landed on the chopping board with a crisp sound of horse hooves kicking. It didn't take long for the meat to turn into fine minced meat.

Wang Lei watched for a while and then walked away, saying that he couldn't learn this skill.

In fact, many techniques in cooking only require familiarity.

It may feel very difficult at first, but after long-term practice, you can basically master it.

It's just that Wang Lei doesn't have a serious chef to teach him, so he finds these very difficult.

The next process of making buns is also similar.

For what two teachers can do for one, Luo Quan can do five or six.

Although the efficiency is a little lower, it still helps.

After the fried dough sticks were fried and the buns came out, the other guests also came downstairs one after another.

Several of them had obviously just woken up and still looked sleepy.

Four young people, Zhang Zifeng, Guo Qilin, Peng Yushang, Cheng Feiyu, and Qin Yi, who has not been seen for a long time.

Ever since he starred in "The Gentlemen of West Eighth District", Qin Yi seems to be more decadent than before.

Probably because I was overwhelmed by the endless abuse on the Internet, I was a little slovenly.

But being slovenly does not mean that he is not confident. Although there are not many female guests on this show, he still looks like a domineering president when he speaks.

However, Leader Wang has already demonstrated this trick before, that is, I don’t want what I think, I want you to think. After saying this, he was ridiculed by netizens.

If Qin Yi continues to do this, it is probably the result of being scolded on the hot search again.

But he seems to be a bit unwilling to break the rules, so he has been going his own way.

In comparison, Cheng Feiyu acted very reserved.

Like Gua Ling, he was also a returnee who was born and raised abroad.

However, his parents are both Chinese, and his father is also a famous domestic director with a very high status.

Therefore, under the influence of his parents, Cheng Feiyu chose to give up his American citizenship when he became an adult, became a Chinese citizen, and officially entered the Chinese entertainment industry.

His first work was in the National Day gift film two years ago, starring in the unit drama "Day Meteor" shot by his father, which was widely criticized.

However, as a resource person, Cheng Feiyu did not receive too much attention from trolls, but instead made netizens sympathize.

When he said "Arthur, please take a seat", the whole internet laughed out loud, and also let netizens know how much he pretends to be a famous director.

It's not a wealthy family. It's just like the European blue-blooded aristocrats, who have a homely meal but are so poor and sophisticated.

The most outrageous thing is that he can actually talk about the philosophical and aesthetic issues contained in a bowl of diced meat, which really makes people don't know how to complain.

Finally, the finishing touch, Arthur please take a seat, became one of the most popular memes in the entertainment industry last year.

Because of this, netizens sympathized with Cheng Feiyu.

It is really not easy to get along with such a father in life.

After Luo Quan arrived yesterday, Zhang originally made a joke and asked Arthur to please sit down while eating.

But after thinking about his father's petty character, he gave up the idea.

After all, this famous director doesn't even allow netizens to criticize his bad movies.

When the murder case caused by a steamed bun became popular, he immediately took it to court.

And if anyone still uses this as an excuse until now, they will immediately start to attack you.

In view of this, Luo Quan thought it would be better not to make this joke.

Guo Qilin and Peng Yuchang, who have out-of-the-box personalities, were very lively, got along well with every guest, and were the comedic actors in the show.

If there is a cold scene, the two of them can make the scene lively by making jokes.

As for Zhang Zifeng, she is also a carefree girl. Because she is the only girl, she talks to Luo Quan the most, but the topics are not very speculative.

After chatting for a few words, Luo Quan discovered that this carefree girl was actually an artistic girl who liked photography and writing some fresh short sentences rich in life philosophy.

What Luo Quan hates the most is young people in art.

Of course, he is definitely not an artistic young man like Zhang Zifeng, and he certainly cannot say such things.

All in all, this guest lineup of old and young people got along very harmoniously.

Except for Qin Yi occasionally saying some offensive words, he is basically in perfect condition.

"Everyone, hurry up and wash up. After washing up, let's eat steamed buns and fried dough sticks."

When Luo Quan was speaking, he was stirring soy milk in a large glass.

This is made with soy milk powder. You only need to add a little sugar to make it taste good. Drink a cup at breakfast and your whole stomach will be warm.

But don't drink too quickly, otherwise the whole esophagus will be a little hot.

"Oh my god, it smells so good." Guo Qilin imitated the tone of a fat guy in his club and exclaimed in surprise.

Others also sucked it in big gulps, and kept boasting after finishing it.

Just the smell of Luo Quan's craftsmanship makes people's mouth water.
