Zhang Juying knew she couldn’t refuse, even if Zhou Yuaanyuaan didn’t ask, she couldn’t refuse.
She looked at Lv Cheng with a resentful expression, walked over and whispered, "Director, you have to pay extra for this; it wasn’t ntioned before that we’d have to kill a chicken."
Lv Cheng: "Alright, we’ll settle it at market price."
He knew Zhang Juying could be a bit difficult, it was just a chicken after all.
"What market price? This is an authentic free-range chicken, and Yanzi picked a hen, at least two or three hundred each."
Qiann Yan made three hundred for just an hour of filming; it made her envious.
"Aunt Zhang, are you robbing us?" Lv Cheng rolled his eyes, "Your price is too high."
"Go out and ask, who doesn’t sell free-range chickens for this price?"
The two went back and forth, and ultimately Lv Cheng compromised.
Qiann Yan had anticipated this, so she wasn’t polite at all and grabbed the biggest one.
Zhang Juying walked over and said, "You’ll have to do this yourself, the director said I’m not supposed to do it, Yanzi."
Qiann Yan knew that Lv Cheng agreed to pay this money to see her make a fool of herself.
Next, everyone watched as Qiann Yan skillfully killed the chicken, plucked its feathers, and cooked it. It was clear this plan had failed.
Was this about experiencing village life, or what?
Qiann Yan’s performance was too perfect, and Lv Cheng couldn’t help but whisper to her, "Qiann Yan, this doesn’t look real. You might want to act a bit clumsier, to fit the image of a city kid."
"Are you teaching how to act?" Qiann Yan looked up.
Lv Cheng: "Didn’t we agree you’d cooperate for the money?"
"How have I not cooperated? You said feed the pigs, I fed the pigs; you said herd the sheep, I herded the sheep; you said cook, I cooked. How’s that uncooperative?"
Lv Cheng opened his mouth; indeed, she was cooperative, but perford too well, making it look fake, as if everyone on the show was an actor.
Lv Cheng: "At least show so city kid’s discomfort when living in the countryside. You just fit right in, viewers might think you’re an actress."
"That’s a mistake on your show’s part then."
Lv Cheng: "..."
"Didn’t you say you didn’t know how to cook?"
"I just learned."
Yeah, right!
Qiann Yan: "Director, life has many facets. Since your show is set up like this, I have to say sothing."
Lv Cheng was taken aback; say what, about him?
"Do you have a misunderstanding about city kids? Why do you always think they’re clumsy, look down on people, would disdain villagers, or be unaccustod to life here?"
"There are so many people; does everyone have to act like you expect?"
"Everyone is different; each person responds to their situation differently. There may be those who stand there clueless, performing poorly, but that person isn’t ."
"If you want to pretend I know nothing and act clumsy, no way."
Lv Cheng knew these things of course, but he had carefully chosen his cast, and didn’t expect the most promising one to be such a dark horse.
Because the chicken soup took a long ti to stew, Qiann Yan casually made a few small dishes for lunch. They weren’t the tastiest but were clean and went well with rice.
In the afternoon, Qiann Yan ca over to take out the stewed chicken, planning to make chicken shreds: "Director, we went overti today."
"Rember to add pay."
Lv Cheng: "..."
Lv Cheng looked at the shredded chicken on her plate, evenly sized like an art piece, with no mood to appreciate it, but instead feeling quite stressed.
Once the al was ready, Qiann Yan ate with the Zhang Family.
Since she made it, she definitely had to eat more.
The show crew could only have a sip of soup, many praised that the soup was really good.
But upon seeing Lv Cheng’s unpleasant deanor, they quickly fell silent.
Zhou Yuaanyuaan had a not-so-nice eating habit, liking to dig around the plate, but Qiann Yan was ready and didn’t let him dig into her side.
After the al, Zhou Yuaanyuaan said to Zhang Juying, "Mom, I want to eat chicken shreds again tomorrow, and have chicken soup. You let her make them for ."
He didn’t think there was a problem; he used to always pester Zhou Lalann for delicious dishes like this.
