Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback!

Chapter 81: Chapter 81 “Chicken Fleeing and Crabs Escaping” cp

Qi Tianyu, who chose curry beef rice, received a piece of curry and a slice of beef delivered by the crew.

Shu Yan was relatively lucky, she got a bundle of noodles and a bag of Korean fried sauce, both ingredients being easy to handle.

But when it came to Jiang Yan, things started developing in another direction.

He chose potato chicken rice and received a potato from the staff, and… a live chicken.

Seeing the hen constantly clucking “cluck-cluck” in his hands, Jiang Yan’s face soured to the extreme.

[“Hahahaha, holy shit, my eyes! Is that a real chicken in Jiang Yan’s hands?”]

[“The scene is too beautiful; I can’t watch it anymore.”]

[“The show crew is really nasty, giving Jiang Yan a real chicken. I can’t take it.”]

The chicken fluttered so fiercely that Jiang Yan didn’t catch it properly, and the fat chicken flapped its wings and flew away.

Director Sun kindly reminded, “Jiang Yan, if you let it escape, you’ll have no meat for lunch.”

“Shit!”

Left with no choice, Jiang Yan could only curse and then began a fierce chase after the chicken.

Over on the side, Wen Jiaojiao also started to grimly collect the crabs crawling all over the ground.

The two were more disheveled than when they were hoisting hoes in the field just moments ago.

Seeing this, Qi Tianyu and Shu Yan swallowed back their complaints.

He patted his chest, relieved, “Thank goodness the crew couldn’t afford a cow.”

Director Sun: “……”

The commotion stirred up by the production team successfully made the live broadcast hit trending searches again.

Many people came upon hearing the news.

Some even watched these guests’ embarrassing moments while having their lunch.

The laughter roared through the live room, with the total number of online viewers even breaking three hundred thousand.

The screenshots of Jiang Yan catching the chicken and Wen Jiaojiao catching the crabs were also posted online, and they successfully earned the nickname “Chicken-escape-crab-scuttle” duo.

The five stared at the ingredients they ended up with, their wide eyes meeting baffled gazes.

Director Sun then turned his attention to Jiang Li, who was standing nearby with empty hands.

“Right, I’ll have the staff bring your ingredients in a bit.”

“No need,” Jiang Li responded, “When did I say I wanted to exchange for food?”

Director Sun’s eyes widened, “You…..”

Jiang Li looked at him, “Besides, you guys didn’t say we had to exchange food from the start, right?”

Director Sun’s mouth opened and closed, “I…..”

[“Hahahahaha, Sister Li really was cautious.”]

[“I was wondering why she was quiet just now. She must’ve figured out the show crew’s scheme early on.”]

[“Why didn’t Jiang Li say anything earlier if she discovered this before?”]

[“Here comes the moralist. Why don’t you go and cook for them then?”]

The others were dumbfounded.

Right.

The director never said they absolutely had to exchange.

So why did they still exchange points for these troublesome ingredients?!

Wen Jiaojiao was even more devastated. Although she couldn’t cook at all, at least beef noodles could be boiled and eaten.

How was she supposed to handle a whole bucket of seafood?!

And she had spent three points!

Seeing that Jiang Li wasn’t falling for it, Director Sun was also out of strategies.

“Alright then, if you don’t want to exchange, you don’t have to, our show completely adheres to the principle of voluntary participation, we won’t force you.”

Although he spoke politely, Director Sun clenched his teeth so hard they made a creaking sound.

At the end, he added a sentence, “You must cook for yourselves, and helping hands are not allowed. If I find out, you’ll still lose 10 points!”

“Three o’clock this afternoon, we’ll meet here again, so you only have three hours left for lunch and a nap.”

Several people groaned again.

The live audience couldn’t help but feel sorry for them.

The summer on the Southwest Plateau is no joke; the sun at three o’clock is still scorching. These people had just left the gentleness of the Capital and had to endure this hardship.

It really wasn’t easy.

Jiang Yan, holding a hen, trudged over to Jiang Li.

His white sleeves were scratched up by the chicken claws, and his sunglasses had been lost while hoeing, leaving him in a sorry state.

But even so, he still lifted his chin towards Jiang Li.

“You don’t want to exchange ingredients with the production team, could it be you’re waiting to share mine? Let me tell you, no way!”

Jiang Li glanced at him indifferently, then emotionlessly brushed off his shoulder and walked away.

[Hahahaha, Jiang Yan got snubbed again!]

[Understood, the best way to deal with someone like Jiang Yan is to ignore them entirely.]

Jiang Yan was a bit annoyed and stepped forward while holding the chicken. “I’m talking to you, why are you like this?”

Jiang Li frowned in disgust and stepped back a big step from him.

“Don’t come near me, you stink.”

Jiang Yan: “….”

He was sure he smelled good!

However, after a sniff around, he realized that the “stink” was coming from the old hen in his arms.

So, holding it was not an option, nor was throwing it away. He could only pinch his nose and carry the chicken away.

His awkward posture and figure drew quite a crowd of onlookers.

On the other side, He Yun stared at the fish in his hands in a daze.

Like the others, he knew nothing about cooking.

Well, not everyone, there was one among them who did.

He Yun looked towards Jiang Li, who was walking in the front, then glanced at the nearby camera, his lips pursed.

Coincidentally, Jiang Li looked back, their eyes meeting just as He Yun had hesitations in his gaze.

He Yun felt nervous.

She was so smart; she must know what he wanted to do now, right?

But unexpectedly, the girl only glanced at him lightly before immediately averting her gaze.

Seeing that they were approaching a fork in the road and would be going in different directions, He Yun finally became anxious.

After hesitating again and again, he finally stepped forward and stopped Jiang Li.

“What is it, Mr. He?” Jiang Li tilted her head to look at him, her eyes brimming with an ambiguous smile.

He Yun opened his lips, finding it somewhat hard to say, “Well… I’m not very good at cooking, and I definitely can’t kill a fish…”

Jiang Li glanced at the grass carp he was holding.

“So you want me to teach you, right? Sure.”

Seeing this interaction, the fans of the ‘Disparate Couple’ in the live broadcast began to scream again.

[Ahhh, Disparate Couple is real! You see, it was Mr. He who took the initiative to talk to Jiang Li this time!]

[Even a fool can see He Yun treats Jiang Li differently from others; he hardly ever talked to Shu Yan and Wen Jiaojiao since coming here, but he approached Jiang Li many times!]

[It’s only because Jiang Li is the only sane person on this show, they are just having a normal conversation. Please, could all you couple fans calm down? Our He Bao is still in the rising phase of his career; we don’t want him tied down, okay?]

[Yo, yo, yo, finally, you admit that our Sister Li is the only normal person in this show; not easy at all.]

Upon hearing this, Wen Jiaojiao, who was already paying attention to this side, suddenly turned around.

“Ah, you two are making secret deals here? I’m going to tell the director to deduct 10 points from you both right now!”
