The Film Empress White Moonlight Wants To Be A Salted Fish - Chapter 22

Wen Shiyan looked down at a snail still squirming in the water, and her face instantly darkened. She took two steps back and looked at Lu Yiran: “I think it would be better for everyone to come and catch them together in a couple of days.”

Seeing that Wen Shiyan also disliked it, Lu Yiran didn’t want to make things difficult for her. Lu Yiran got up and clapped the dirt off her hands: “Let’s go, Teacher Wen, let’s go look on the other side.”

After searching all morning, Lu Yiran and Wen Shiyan’s side only found a watermelon and a few apples chilled with well water. Compared to the other two groups, they could be said to have had terrible luck.

Xie Shuyao comforted Lu Yiran: “It’s okay, Sister Yiran, everyone eats together anyway. Wouldn’t it be perfect to have fruit after lunch?”

“Sigh, you’re right.” After Lu Yiran said that, she remembered the snails: “Shall we all go catch some snails together in a couple of days?”

“Sure, I remember catching snails when I was little, but they’re rare now,” Xie Shuyao said, her face full of joy as she spoke of her childhood.

Watching the group chatting and laughing, Director Zhang chimed in at an inopportune moment: “Oh, I forgot to tell you, starting this afternoon, you’ll have to solve your own meals. The production team will only give you a small amount of money. If you want to eat well, you’ll have to rely on your own efforts.”

Lu Yiran raised her hand and asked: “Can we sell things to earn money?”

“Of course, anything goes, as long as you don’t sell the house,” Director Zhang joked to liven up the atmosphere.

Xie Shuyao took out a bottle to show Wen Shiyan and the others: “Qin Mo and I saw a lot of crawfish in the small ditch near the village just now. We asked the villagers, and they said there are too many crawfish, and they usually don’t eat them. Maybe we can catch them to sell.”

The crawfish in the bottle were quite large. Lu Yiran could already imagine them catching crawfish.

Qin Mo nodded in agreement: “Selling crawfish is also good. Summer isn’t over yet. If we sell them a little cheaper, people will definitely buy them.”

The focus of a variety show set in the countryside is undoubtedly the daily life.

“Okay, it’s settled then. There’s a market in two days, we can go with the villagers,” Director Zhang set the time, and Lu Yiran and the others decided to start catching them the day after tomorrow.

“Let’s start cooking now, it’s getting late,” Lu Shiran said, and Xie Shuyao and the others realized it was lunchtime.

“Teacher Wen and I found the least, so let us two cook. Is that okay, Teacher Wen?” Lu Yiran asked, looking at Wen Shiyan.

Wen Shiyan nodded: “Yes.”

Coughing sounds came from the kitchen. “Cough, how do you start a fire?” Lu Yiran asked Wen Shiyan for help.

Seeing the smoke constantly billowing out of the stove, Wen Shiyan was a little troubled: “I don’t know either. You go out first, I’ll go ask the grandmother.”

“Cough, cough, cough, pause for a moment.” Lu Yiran left the kitchen, coughing non-stop, and went outside.

Lu Yiran coughed until tears came out, and she was covered in ash. After Wen Shiyan called the grandmother over, she used a damp towel according to the grandmother’s instructions to wipe the ash off Lu Yiran’s mouth and nose.

“Okay, okay, I’m fine now.” Lu Yiran pressed down on Wen Shiyan’s hand. “I almost coughed myself to death just now.”

Seeing that Lu Yiran was fine, Wen Shiyan breathed a sigh of relief.

“Alright, the fire is started, I’ll watch it for you, you two go cook,” the grandmother sat in front of the stove and told them again how to start a fire.

Afterward, Director Zhang apologized to Lu Yiran and Wen Shiyan: “Sorry, sorry, the production team didn’t tell you the precautions. Are you hurt anywhere?”

Seeing Director Zhang’s expression, Lu Yiran waved her hand: “No, we’re fine, Director Zhang doesn’t need to blame himself too much.”

“No injuries, but please don’t let this happen again,” Wen Shiyan looked at Director Zhang with a slightly displeased expression.

“Yes, yes, yes, it definitely won’t happen again. Shiyan, I’ll go now. If you feel unwell, remember to tell the staff.” Director Zhang said and then left to discuss with the production team what other safety hazards needed attention.

Lu Yiran walked up to Wen Shiyan: “Is Teacher Wen angry?”

“Yes, a little.”

“Then let’s go eat the fruit,” Lu Yiran said, pulling Wen Shiyan’s hand.

Looking at their clasped hands, Wen Shiyan said: “We’re not recording right now, you don’t have to act so intimate with me.”

“What’s wrong with friends holding hands?”

Hearing Lu Yiran’s words, Wen Shiyan thought it made some sense. She didn’t say anything more and just quietly followed behind Lu Yiran.

Xie Shuyao and the others didn’t know what had just happened. When they saw Lu Yiran and Wen Shiyan coming over, they handed the freshly cut watermelon to the two of them.

Lu Yiran looked at the attractive watermelon and tasted a bite: “Wow, it’s really sweet and cool.”

“It’s too sweet.” Wen Shiyan only planned to take one bite and couldn’t eat any more, but sticking to the principle of not wasting food, she ultimately finished the piece in her hand.

“Then I’ll eat yours if you don’t want it.” Lu Yiran finished her piece and then ate both her share and Wen Shiyan’s share.

Watching Lu Yiran and Wen Shiyan, Xie Shuyao suddenly felt the watermelon in her hand was sweeter. She quietly ate the watermelon in her hand while watching the two of them.
