The Film Empress White Moonlight Wants To Be A Salted Fish - Chapter 21

Looking at Lu Yiran’s fake smile, Wen Shiyan shook her head slightly: “No need to thank me.”

Glancing at the camera, Lu Yiran suddenly thought of something. She immediately took hold of Wen Shiyan’s hand and smiled at her: “I’m worried you might fall, Teacher Wen, let’s walk together.”

Although Wen Shiyan was a little uncomfortable, she still let Lu Yiran hold her hand.

In the camera, the two walked hand in hand on the country road, showing their “deep friendship.”

“Wait, there seems to be something there.” Lu Yiran stopped and pointed at a pile of straw.

Hearing Lu Yiran’s words, Wen Shiyan stepped forward and pulled apart the pile of grass, only to see a small sleeping cat… Wen Shiyan quietly put the straw back as it was.

“Oops, sorry, I must have seen wrong.” Lu Yiran swore she really did see wrong, but looking at Wen Shiyan’s expression, she clearly didn’t believe her.

Following behind Wen Shiyan, Lu Yiran spotted something floating in a water vat. “Here! There really is something here!” After Lu Yiran spoke, Wen Shiyan walked over half-heartedly.

There really was something inside the water vat a watermelon with the program team’s logo on it.

The watermelon was quite big, and Lu Yiran had to exert some effort to lift it out.

Wen Shiyan took the melon from Lu Yiran’s hand: “Let’s put the watermelon back first, and then come out to look for the other things.”

Seeing how easily Wen Shiyan was holding it, Lu Yiran didn’t insist on carrying it herself anymore.

Director Zhang was sitting on a stool fanning herself, and when she saw Wen Shiyan and Lu Yiran return, she said, “Back so soon? What did you find?”

Looking at Wen Shiyan holding the watermelon with a deadpan face, Director Zhang couldn’t help but want to laugh. She wiped away the tears that spilled out and lightly coughed: “Since you’ve found the watermelon, please hurry up and find the other ingredients.”

After Director Zhang finished speaking, Wen Shiyan placed the watermelon in front of her, smiled at her expressionlessly, and then pulled Lu Yiran away.

On the road, Lu Yiran thought of Xie Shuyao being with Qin Mo and couldn’t help but worry about her. She said to Wen Shiyan: “I wonder how Shuyao is doing with her search.”

Hearing Lu Yiran’s words, Wen Shiyan let go of Lu Yiran’s hand and quickened her pace: “Let’s hurry up and search.”

“Hey, wait for me, Teacher Wen…” Lu Yiran jogged to catch up with Wen Shiyan.

There were a few villagers watching by the side of the road. After Lu Yiran asked the staff if she could seek help from the villagers, she walked over.

“Auntie, have you seen anything with this logo?” Lu Yiran said, showing the auntie the logo from the watermelon.

The auntie looked at the logo, thought for a moment, and then pointed them toward the rice paddies.

“Thank you, Auntie! Are there water snails and paddy field snails in the fields now?” Lu Yiran only knew these two types of things but had never actually seen them alive; she had wanted to see the real thing for a long time.

“Of course, there are water snails and paddy field snails in the fields now. However, if you came before or after the Qingming Festival, the snail meat would rival the richness of goose, but you can still try the fresh ones now.” The auntie said, handing Lu Yiran and the others a small bag.

“You recognize the paddy field snails, right? You can feel around for some to cook and taste yourselves. Next time I’ll lend you tools to catch them. Also, remember that the ones with the pointed tails are paddy field snails; don’t mistake them.”

Thanking the kind auntie, the two went to the rice paddies to start looking for ingredients.

Lu Yiran squatted by the rice paddy, quietly looking at the paddy field snails in the water. Although she really wanted to take one out, she still couldn’t bring herself to touch a snail with her bare hands.

“Teacher Wen, could you come over for a moment?” Lu Yiran called Wen Shiyan, who was searching for ingredients nearby, over.

Seeing Lu Yiran squatting by the rice paddy, Wen Shiyan asked her: “What’s wrong?”

Lu Yiran said to Wen Shiyan with an embarrassed look: “Could I trouble you, Teacher Wen, to catch a few for me to see? I’m a little scared.”
