After lunch, Xia Ruofei originally wanted to help wash the dishes and clean up, but Peng Chang and Zhang Xing rushed to do all the chores. He Jiong and Huang Lei also pulled Xia Ruofei to make tea and chat. In fact, Xia Ruofei didn't feel that doing this little bit of work was hard, but in He Jiong's eyes, he was already "the most diligent guest in history."
This program was originally a leisurely reality show that focused on slow living. Everyone didn't have any specific tasks, so the time after lunch became everyone's leisure time.
Peng Chang and Zhang Xing also came over after they finished cleaning up. The five of them sat around the carved tea table, drinking tea and chatting.
The charmingly naive Muscovy Duck "Colored Lantern" and the two cute puppies played a game of chase from time to time, and the bleating of the two sheep in the pen could be heard from time to time. It really felt like time had slowed down here.
In this atmosphere, even the staff seemed to subconsciously keep quiet. Only the camera was still working quietly.
The five of them sat on small bamboo chairs, sometimes laughing heartily, sometimes drinking fragrant tea. In this warm winter afternoon, it formed a beautiful picture.
After half a day of interaction, Xia Ruofei also had a very good impression of the four permanent guests.
The four of them gave off the feeling of a family.
Huang Lei was the dignified head of the family. The two young guests were more or less afraid of him, but they also relied on him for many things. He Jiong was more like a warm mother, understanding the sensitivity and delicacy of their hearts, melting them bit by bit with warmth. Zhang Xing and Peng Chang were the two brothers in this family, one shy and docile, the other weird …
And Xia Ruofei was like a guest who came to visit this family.
Of course, as a guest, Xia Ruofei didn't feel restrained at all. On the contrary, he enjoyed this atmosphere very much.
Everyone chatted for more than an hour. In the end, it was Huang Lei who yawned and got up and said, "I can't take it anymore … I have to take a nap. I woke up early today, and I was a little sleepy when I was cooking just now!"
He Jiong said with a smile, "Teacher Huang, quickly go and rest! Don't forget to get up and make dinner! "
"You can order me around!" Huang Lei laughed and scolded. Then, he greeted Xia Ruofei and walked into the mushroom house. He went upstairs to rest.
He Jiong smiled and asked, "Boss Xia, do you want to take a nap as well?"
Xia Ruofei smiled and waved his hand. "Coming here is like a relaxing trip. I'm not tired at all, so I won't rest... Teacher He, is there anything else to do here? Give me some more! "
He Jiong was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Boss Xia really can't sit still! The problem is that if you're so diligent, won't it set off our laziness? What if your fans think that we're exploiting your labor after the show airs? "
Xia Ruofei laughed and said: "How is that possible? Teacher He has a huge fan base! Don't make me hate you! "
The two teased each other for a while, and in the end, He Jiong didn't give Xia Ruofei any work to do.
After all, this was just a reality TV variety show. Arranging for guests to work was just the effect of the show. How could there be so many things waiting for the guests to do?
Xia Ruofei didn't feel tired, so he simply took the two dogs to stroll around the mushroom house. After all, this was still his and his brothers' property, and it would be open to members in the near future.
It had to be said that Xiangnan Satellite TV still put a lot of thought into the site selection. The scenery near the mushroom house was also very beautiful, especially the lake and the distant mountains that complemented each other. In addition, this area itself was covered by a formation. Walking on the road made people feel relaxed and happy.
Of course, this was also inseparable from the strong cooperation of the Taoyuan Club. The mushroom house and the nearby area were built first.
Now the scenic trails by the lake have been completed. All of them were made of anticorrosive wood. They were built along the lakeside. The trails were winding and had the effect of changing the scenery.
A cameraman carrying a machine had been following and filming. Xia Ruofei walked with the two dogs on the scenic trail. The winter afternoon sun shone on them, casting long shadows, and the distant lakes and mountains formed a beautiful picture.
Xia Ruofei returned to the mushroom house after walking around. He sat in the arbor and made tea for a while. Then he saw Huang Lei, who was taking a lunch break, come out.
Huang Lei stood in the yard and made a few chest movements. Then he yawned again. Apparently, he had just woken up.
Xia Ruofei smiled and waved to Huang Lei and said, "Teacher Huang, how did you sleep?"
"Comfortable!" Huang Lei said, "The location of the mushroom house is really right! I had some concerns before. I was worried that the environment near Beijing was not very good. I was afraid of smog or something. After coming here, I realized that the air here is so fresh! It's as if there's a sweet smell in the air! "
Xia Ruofei laughed in his heart. This was naturally the effect of the array he had set up.
It could be said that within the range of the array, even ordinary people would feel comfortable. Although the spiritual energy was invisible and intangible, it was real. Under the infiltration of the invisible spiritual energy, the body functions of the people in the array would be subtly improved.
He was certain that Huang Lei and the other three would definitely find that their bodies were much better than before after they finished recording the show.
For the sub-health states that were common in the city, this array was definitely a natural medicine. He believed that after the clubhouse was put into use, the members would quickly experience the benefits.
When the time came, the upper class of Beijing would definitely rush to register for membership.
Xia Ruofei was very confident about this.
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "You'll naturally feel better after getting enough sleep! Teacher Huang, come and have a cup of tea! It's a little early to prepare dinner! "
"It's good to rest for a while …" Huang Lei said.
He walked into the pergola and sat down opposite Xia Ruofei.
The two of them chatted as they drank tea. Huang Lei was also a university teacher who had traveled extensively in filming over the years. It could be said that he was experienced and knowledgeable, so he chatted with Xia Ruofei about a lot of topics.
"Boss Xia, can we eat the remaining two Yangtze shad that you brought tomorrow at noon?" Huang Lei asked. "There will be new guests coming tomorrow. There aren't many dishes here that can be served, only the Taoyuan vegetables in the greenhouse."
Huang Lei also considered the fact that Xia Ruofei was the one who brought the Yangtze River Shad here. He should have finished it in two meals today, but when he thought about how he would have to 'cook without rice' tomorrow, he felt a headache coming on.
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "No problem! You can eat it in the future! Since it's a gift for you, it's up to you to handle it! The shad can be stored in the freezer for a long time. "
"Thank you!" Huang Lei was overjoyed. "Then we'll make one tomorrow at noon and ice the other one first."
Xia Ruofei smiled and nodded.
After the two chatted for a while, Huang Lei got up to prepare dinner. Xia Ruofei looked around and saw that she had nothing to do, so she went to the kitchen to help Huang Lei.
Huang Lei's nickname of "Little Chef Huang" was not for nothing. He was simply radiating light in the kitchen, and Xia Ruofei could not get involved.
In the end, Huang Lei assigned Xia Ruofei a task — to light the fire.
The Mushroom House used a stove like those in the countryside. It was divided into two big iron pots. The one in front was used for cooking, and the one in the back was filled with water.
After the fire in the stove was lit, the flue gas would pass through the pot at the back. The remaining heat of the fire would be used to heat the water in the pot. This way, there would be hot water at all times.
Xia Ruofei's family used this kind of stove when he was young. It had been many years since he last saw it. At first glance, it felt quite familiar.
At first, Huang Lei was worried that a rich man like Xia Ruofei would not be able to do such rough work.
He did not expect that Xia Ruofei was not a stranger to starting a fire. When he was young, he helped adults with similar tasks. Moreover, he had received training in building a stove in the wilderness and starting a fire in the army. Therefore, starting a fire was a piece of cake for Xia Ruofei.
He first put a medium-sized piece of wood in. Then, he used a lighter to light a stick of pine resin and placed it on the piece of wood. Next, he carefully put in a very dry and small piece of wood. He tried his best to make it as high as possible to create a hole above the fire.
After closing the door of the stove, the flames in the stove suddenly rose up and burned fiercely with a whistling sound.
Huang Lei was cooking on the side. From time to time, he would instruct Xia Ruofei to increase or decrease the fire. Xia Ruofei was not careless at all. When he needed to increase the fire, he would add wood and close the stove door tightly. When he needed to decrease the fire, he would open the stove door. If the fire was still too big, he would cover it with an ash spatula.
Xia Ruofei was very familiar with his work. It was obvious at a glance that he had done this before.
Huang Lei laughed as he cooked. "I didn't expect Boss Xia to use this kind of stove. Looks like he's pretty good at living!"
Xia Ruofei laughed and said, "The children of the poor take charge of the family early. When I was young, every family used this kind of stove."
Huang Lei gave Xia Ruofei a thumbs up. Xia Ruofei also expressed his appreciation for Huang Lei's cooking skills. The two of them unknowingly started "praising each other".
Dinner was soon ready. Huang Lei called everyone over to bring the dishes out.
As the temperature outside dropped sharply at night, they did not have dinner under the pergola. Instead, they had dinner in the small dining room in the mushroom hut.
Although there were limited ingredients available, Huang Lei's cooking skills made up for it. Everyone ate with relish and kept praising him.
After the meal, everyone worked together and quickly cleaned up the bowls and plates.
Then, they went to the scenic path by the lake to take a walk to digest the food.
When they returned to the mushroom hut, the sky was completely dark. The busy day was almost over.
Xia Ruofei followed He Jiong and the rest to the living room on the first floor of the mushroom hut. Everyone sat around the long table and chatted.
He Jiong, Huang Lei, Peng Chang, and Zhang Xing were all celebrities. They could be said to be multi-talented. However, they were very considerate of Xia Ruofei's feelings and did not talk about the entertainment industry for a long time. As they chatted, He Jiong could not help but start humming a song.
Huang Lei and the other two were not to be outdone. They all performed what they were best at. Zhang Xing also took the initiative to perform an impromptu dance. He developed his skills in South Korea in his early years. As a trainee, he had to learn everything. He had put in a lot of effort in dancing.
Huang Lei and He Jiong both sang a nostalgic song. Only Peng Chang had his signature bright smile on his face as he sat there and watched the show.
After He Jiong finished singing, he smiled and said, "Teacher Xia, sing a song too! The acoustics here are not bad! "
Xia Ruofei smiled and waved his hand. "My singing is out of tune. No, no …"
Huang Lei, Peng Chang, and Zhang Xing all cheered at the side. Even the nice guy He Jiong invited him enthusiastically.
Xia Ruofei thought for a while and said, "I really can't sing. How about … I perform a magic trick for everyone!"
