The next second—
All the staff present unanimously nodded their heads in agreent.
Yan Nai: “...”
Everyone knew that the seafood congee from earlier was just an appetizer. After they slled the aroma of the crawfish, the staff would have turned into hungry wolves to fight over the food if it weren’t for their professional ethics.
Xiang Yi: “There’s still so sour plum soup in the fridge. Want so?”
The girl’s voice was soft and polite, sounding heaven sent to the staff mbers.
Li Jianyu didn’t hesitate. “Yes yes yes!”
“Then I’ll go grab it.”
“No no no, ntor Xiang Yi, please sit, we can do it ourselves!”
The audience in the stream: ???
In the morning they had been calling her Xiang Yi; now, she was ntor Xiang Yi.
This must be the least ethical crew in the history of TV crews!
“Wait—” A drawling voice reached everyone’s ears. Shi Sui’s thin lips were slightly hooked as he lazily slouched in his seat. “How will you calculate the recycling fee?”
Huh?!
Yan Zhenhua reacted fast and chided in as well. “Yeah, you even get scissors from recycling old cell phones and ho appliances!”
The crew: “...”
Of course, how could they forget these two old foxes.
After so negotiations, Shi Sui put forth a clause that could be considered as ‘surrendering sothing under humiliating terms’: the crew would help clean up, including but not limited to cleaning dishes, wiping tables, and collecting tableware.
The netizens in the live broadcast room felt that the crew wasn’t going to agree, but when the cara panned—
More than a dozen staff mbers had gathered around the small clump of crayfish. The ones who were nimble managed to snatch two, while the slower ones only got one. They were reluctant to eat it all at once as they chewed it slowly, holding it in their hands as if they were tasting a subli delicacy that was delicious and expensive.
The noodles were also a hit. Each person got what they could with one chopstick trip. By then, nobody minded about cleanliness or hygiene as they carefully soaked their noodles in the sa batch of crayfish soup before inhaling it like treasure.
The expressions of satisfaction on the faces of the staff was too real, making the audience suddenly realize Xiang Yi’s cooking was really delicious after all!
—[I’m hungry from watching, I’ve opened the mysterious yellow app* again...]
—[Hahaha good thing I ordered my takeout early so I can watch while I eat. If you spend money earlier, you can reap the benefits sooner]
—[lmao all the other variety shows have guests being oppressed by the crew, but I didn’t expect Two Under One Roof to have it reversed haha. This is the first ti I’ve seen the crew help the guests clean up!]
With people helping her clean up, Xiang Yi was happy and laid back. She poured herself a cup of sour plum soup and took a sip.
Yan Zhenhua and Shi Sui chatted for a while, talking about their arduous experience of filming in the mountains.
“...That night was a night scene, and it was raining. As the young folk like to say, the rain was bigger than the night Yi Ping went off to ask her dad for money*. Shi Sui was also filming a fight scene, rolling around in the mud. Even his eyelashes were covered in mud.” Although Yan Zhenhua was old, he was still very humorous. When he spoke, it was like a stand up cody show. “But when that day ended, our crew had earthen pot farmhouse chicken casserole for lunch. It was so delicious...”
Xiang Yi didn’t interrupt, but listened intently. From ti to ti, Shi Sui would respond with a slight nod or a faint smile. In a light manner, he spoke. “There’s an earthen pot furnace in the small kitchen, why don’t we make so earthen pot chicken casserole for dinner?”
Yan Zhenhua excitedly slapped his thigh. “Yes yes yes! It needs to burn wood, right? I will go cut so!!”
...The well-known director completely forgot he had co on the show to relax and chat with Shi Sui.
Xiang Yi: “Your hand has previously been injured, let .”
Yan Zhenhua was shocked for a few seconds, then he smiled. “The little miss is quite considerate, ah. Did you peel the crayfish for because of my previous injury as well?”
An earthquake rocked the livestream channel in an instant.
Translator’s note:
*The direct translation for this is actually ‘teacher Xiang Yi’ or professor. In Chinese customs, it’s appropriate to address those with higher seniority ‘teacher’ even if teaching is not their profession.
*Yellow app is probably referring to a famous chinese takeout service, i Tuan
*A famous scene from the 2001 Chinese drama “Romance in the Rain”
