Seeing the other person's mournful face and resentful look, Yuan Tiantian gave him an apologetic smile. There was nothing she could do. She had learned from the villagers that he wasn't good at catching chickens. In the end, he'd just gotten lucky.
After hearing Yuan Tiantian's explanation, the other person didn't say anything more. Instead, he smiled shyly. He never thought that Yuan Tiantian, this "NPC", would know about his chicken - catching fiasco. He felt quite embarrassed.
About ten minutes later, the others who had been on the mission also returned one after another. Yuan Tiantian gave each of them their relevant scores in turn. She didn't pay attention to the final results, though. The delicious food she'd made had already been taken away by the program crew. She heard that they were continuing to film in the house where these people were staying.
"I didn't expect there to be so many twists just for a meal," a diner murmured softly after noticing what the program crew was doing. Yuan Tiantian heard this and quietly smiled.
If there weren't so many twists, there would be no fun. Without fun, where would the ratings come from? This was also the main reason why Yuan Tiantian had added a bit of a mischievous touch when assigning tasks. It would create some laughs. With laughs, as long as the program crew knew how to promote it, the ratings surely wouldn't be bad. Then, more people would see her Tian Tian Food Store! Just thinking about it made her a little excited.
While Yuan Tiantian was daydreaming about how her Tian Tian Food Store would be seen by more people after the program aired, she felt extremely satisfied.
Over at the program crew, after much ado, the seven people finally got to eat. They hadn't had high expectations for this small country store at first. But as soon as they put the food in their mouths, they were instantly shocked.
"Director, did you change the food halfway through?!"
"When did the program crew become so nice? They're even treating us to food at the level of a five - star hotel?"
"Is this the green pepper scrambled eggs I can eat without spending any money?!"
...
The seven of them babbled on, but their chopsticks never stopped. They were munching away, and at this moment, there was no thought of maintaining their image. The food was just so delicious, far beyond what they'd expected!
These people had eaten all kinds of grand feasts, but the food provided by Tian Tian Food Store tonight was good enough to be served in a five - star hotel. That's why some of the guests suspected that the program crew had swapped the food. It didn't seem like the kind of taste a small diner could make.
The director and the other members of the program crew watched and thought to themselves that they'd struck gold. The food from this Tian Tian Food Store was incredibly delicious.
The food they'd ordered for dinner was actually quite ordinary. After all, with so many staff members, they couldn't order anything too fancy, or it would cost a fortune. As long as they could be full, that was enough. But this ordinary - looking food tasted like something from a high - class restaurant. The taste was even better than in those restaurants, and most importantly, the portions were generous.
"Eat quickly and stop blabbering," the director shouted. Their chatter was giving him a headache. Most importantly, the enticing aroma of the food was making him hungry again! If these people didn't finish quickly, they might have to fight for the food!
The director's shout made the seven people speed up their chopsticks. They seemed to realize that if they didn't hurry, they might lose their food!
"Ugh, I shouldn't have shared with you!" Liu Boyang had gotten the highest overall score in the end. The last - ranked guest had negotiated with him for a long time and finally shared the food with him. Liu Boyang regretted it as soon as he tasted the food. Such delicious food should have been his alone.
Everyone burst out laughing when they heard Liu Boyang's words.
Amidst all this laughter and fun, the recording of the program for the day ended. There were still two more days. After three days, the first phase of the shooting here would be completely over.
Regarding the surprise that Tian Tian Food Store had brought today, the director and the assistant director were working overtime, thinking about new cooperation.
"This store really seems like a treasure. We need to think about whether we can link some tasks with it in the next two days," the director said. Although he hadn't been there himself, based on the feedback from others, he knew it was really good.
The assistant director, Le Ran, nodded after hearing this. Then he said to the director, "There are three really handsome guys in their store. One of them is extremely good - looking."
The director immediately perked up when he heard this. He hadn't watched all of today's shooting content yet. At this moment, he found some equipment and watched it with the assistant director.
When they saw Wu Ming, Bai Ying, and Sheng Jing, the director's mouth dropped open in surprise.
"Are they really the waiters in the store?"
"Not the artists from President Yuan's company?"
What a waste if such good prospects didn't become artists! The director knew that the young boss of Tian Tian Food Store was Yuan Lele's younger sister. With such handsome waiters around, why hadn't President Yuan just poached them?
Yuan Lele, President Yuan, who was inexplicably mentioned, was washing up at this moment. Suddenly, she sneezed.
"Are you getting a cold?"
She wasn't getting a cold. She was just being talked about.
"Oh, President Yuan is really wasting resources!"
"No, I have to talk to her!" The director always wanted to pull in people he liked.
When Yuan Lele sat on the bed, she noticed that her phone had been vibrating. She opened it and saw a series of WeChat messages from the director. After reading them one by one, she understood the director's intention and sighed helplessly. It wasn't that she didn't want to poach them. She just couldn't! It felt like the director was poking at her sore spot.
The director was also surprised after seeing Yuan Lele's reply. After thinking about it, it made sense. Yuan Lele must have wanted to poach them as soon as she saw these three. The fact that they were still there clearly meant that she'd failed. The director thought it was a great pity. These three had such good looks, temperaments, and talents. In the entertainment industry, any one of them could make a name for themselves. But if they weren't willing, there was nothing to be done.
"What a pity, what a pity!" The director sighed a few times, and then let the matter go. But he knew in his heart that once the program aired, these three men would surely become popular. Especially the last one, with his cold and extremely handsome appearance.
By then, how popular would Tian Tian Food Store become? At this thought, the director finally realized something. President Yuan was helping her younger sister with free publicity. The two sisters seemed to understand this, which was why the young boss had assigned the tasks at the store entrance instead of inside the store. Why? Because the store sign could be filmed! The two sisters were really smart!
But thanks to Tian Tian Food Store, this program had a lot more to offer. It was a win - win situation!
