Chapter 884 984. Audience Appeal

Nie Wei is never stingy with people he admires.

Zheng Shuang is the most promising actress among the post-90s female stars in the company. She looks pure and cute, and her personality is sometimes cute and domineering, and sometimes she is decisive. She will always have a lot of ideas. When you are in contact with her, it always brings a lively atmosphere.

Such a girl is really born to be loved. In the words of the industry, this is audience appeal.

This kind of audience appeal is really innate. No matter how beautiful you look, or how good your acting skills are, or how good you sing, sometimes you can't beat the three words "audience appeal".

For artists with "audience appeal", even if they do something wrong, the audience will take the initiative to find excuses to excuse him, and even praise him in return. However, for artists without audience appeal, no matter how well and correctly you do, the audience may not buy it.

Anyway, "audience appeal" is really amazing.

Zheng Shuang, who has such characteristics, definitely has the possibility of becoming a top star. If her strength meets the requirements, Nie Wei will naturally be willing to give her a chance. After all, her success also represents the rise of the company's own strength. This is a mutually beneficial and win-win situation.

"We have sent people to buy watermelons, and they will be here soon." Director Li Cai replied.

"Hurry up, we are almost dying of heat here." Huang Lei couldn't help but urge again. When he mentioned watermelons, his saliva began to secrete crazily. He was really greedy.

I don't know whether it was the deterrence of the boss Nie Wei or the kindness of the program team. When everyone returned to Taoyuan House, the program team had already bought the watermelons and even put them in ice water for a while.

"Oh, Black Beauty, this variety of watermelon is good, crisp and sweet." Huang Lei looked at the watermelon in the ice water and praised with a smile.

"Why is it a whole one?" Li Yifeng also looked at it curiously, and then asked in confusion.

Because there was a watermelon in the ice water, but he clearly remembered that Nie Wei and the director team discussed half a watermelon, so he asked subconsciously, but as soon as he asked, Huang Lei covered his mouth.

"Yifeng, you are too honest. Why are you asking about this? If you give us half a watermelon, we will eat half of it. If you give us one, we will eat one."

"Because of the weather, the program team agreed to give you half an extra watermelon." A director stood up to explain at this time.

"You finally did something." Huang Lei couldn't help but criticize the hate group even when he was praising them. Obviously, they only worked together for half a day, but he was already full of resentment towards the stingy director team.

After all, living in this village, everything has to be self-reliant.

If you want to use a gas stove, you can, but you have to buy a gas tank yourself, and a tank of gas costs fifty yuan, and the smallest tank is still given, but they only gave a hundred yuan for living expenses for the whole season here.

If you can't afford gas, you can only use a clay stove. You have to chop the firewood for lighting the fire yourself. Not to mention eating and drinking, you have to earn your own living. After coming here for a long time, you have nothing to do except work.

"I think they are conscientious. At least they didn't charge you for water and electricity." Nie Wei followed Huang Lei and couldn't help laughing when he heard his complaints.

It was just a joke, but the directors of the program team all lit up when they heard it. After looking at each other, they gathered together and started to discuss something in a low voice.

Huang Lei was anxious when he saw this.

"What are you discussing? What are you thinking?"

"We discussed it and thought Nie Wei's suggestion was very good..." Before the directors of the program team finished speaking, they saw a slipper flying towards them.

Several directors were like frightened sparrows, and they immediately scattered.

"What did you say? I didn't hear you clearly. Do you dare to say it again?" Huang Lei said with a smile, holding up another slipper. He had a kind smile, but the weapon in his hand and the threatening tone made the directors feel 'trembling'.

Under the threat of Huang Lei's slippers, the program team didn't say anything about the water and electricity bills.

Then everyone picked up the watermelon in the ice water. This watermelon has been placed in ice water since it was bought. It has been more than an hour now and has been soaked.

Taoyuan House has nothing, but the only thing it lacks is tools. Nie Wei just put the watermelon away, and Huang Lei, who went to the house to find a knife, came out with a very professional watermelon knife.

The staff found by the director team seemed to be really good at picking watermelons. Before Huang Lei cut the watermelon in half, he heard a crisp sound of 'click'. The watermelon had split directly along the cut made by the knife, and the bright red melon flesh inside with a few black seeds immediately appeared in front of everyone.

"Wow, it looks delicious." Zheng Shuang swallowed her saliva and stared at the watermelon with shining eyes.

"Wait a minute, I'll cut it right away." Huang Lei saw the urgency of everyone, including himself, but no matter how greedy he was, Huang Lei still cut a piece for everyone before cutting a piece for himself.

"Well, good!" He Jiong's eyes lit up after taking a bite of the watermelon. The watermelon was very crisp and juicy. After taking a bite, the juice filled the mouth, and the sweet taste occupied all the taste buds, giving the brain an indescribable sense of happiness.

"It's really good." Nie Wei also took a bite of the watermelon and praised it.

Five people couldn't finish a watermelon, and there was still a quarter left. Seeing this, Nie Wei leaned over to Zheng Shuang's ear and whispered a few words.

Then I saw Zheng Shuang cut the remaining watermelon a few more times, divided it into very small pieces, and then brought it to the staff.

"It's so hot. You must be tired. I'll treat you to some watermelon."

"Thank you, Xiao Shuang." The staff all showed expressions of surprise. Although each person could only get a small piece of watermelon, everyone looked happy. They didn't forget to praise Zheng Shuang when they took the watermelon. .

"Xiao Shuang, please be serious."

"Xiao Shuang, I support you, I am your fan."

"Xiao Shuang is so cute."

Amidst the praise, Zheng Shuang showed an embarrassed expression. Everyone saw this and thought it was Xiao Shuang who was shy, but they couldn't help but laugh kindly, but they didn't know that she was blushing because Nie Wei had given her the idea.

Li Yifeng looked at Zheng Shuang with envy. Nie Wei had just whispered to Zheng Shuang that he had seen it, and he also guessed that Zheng Shuang's sudden behavior was probably Nie Wei's idea.

"It would be great if Mr. Nie could take care of me like this." Li Yifeng couldn't help but think in his heart. Of course, it was only for a moment, and he quickly put this idea behind him.

Because he doesn’t have much concern for gains and losses, as long as he gets by, he is already one of the regular hosts of this variety show. Compared with many people in the company, he has less resources. It's already of very high quality.

After Zheng Shuang handed out a circle of watermelons and returned to the crowd, everyone couldn't help but give her a thumbs up and praised her behavior.

Zheng Shuang smiled sheepishly, then ran to sit next to Nie Wei.

Nie Wei asked Zheng Shuang to do this, of course, not to please the staff. After all, the program team are all employees of his own company, so there is nothing to please. However, if this scene is edited into the feature film, it will undoubtedly be a great reflection on Zheng Shuang's character. Good publicity.

After all, everyone will like a polite and caring girl.

Everyone rested for a long time and chatted for a while. All that was left was to prepare dinner. Huang Lei was still the chef for dinner, but this time he didn't have to chop vegetables. The task of chopping vegetables was given to Nie Wei.

Seeing that various dishes at Nie Wei Bar were quickly cut according to Huang Lei's requirements, everyone let out bursts of admiration.

"Nie Wei, I think your knife skills are better than Teacher Huang." He Jiong gave Nie Wei a thumbs up and praised: "You really have the best knife skills among all the celebrities I have ever seen."

"Then I can open a restaurant together with Teacher Huang." Nie Wei said with a smile.

"I think this idea works." Huang Lei, who was making fried mutton with green onions, was also happy, but he also admired Nie Wei's knife skills.

Cutting into sections, slicing, shredding, no matter how you cut it, it’s all difficult for Nie Wei. The key is that he cuts well. When slicing, the thickness is basically the same, and when shredding, the thickness is roughly the same, not to mention cutting into segments. It's almost like measuring it with a ruler before cutting it.

Huang Lei felt that if Nie Wei only talked about knife skills, then maybe those real chefs would be like this.

Nie Wei's workload is to cut all the side dishes. It seems like a lot, but due to Nie Wei's efficient work, it actually doesn't take much time. Nie Wei is more waiting for the vegetable washing team to wash the vegetables. good.

Over there, Chef Huang wasn't lagging behind either. The delicacies were cooked one after another, and the aroma filled the whole courtyard. Nie Wei even saw the cameraman swallowing his saliva while filming around the stove.

Nie Wei saw Zheng Shuang sneaking around the dining table and walked over curiously. She saw Zheng Shuang stuffing food into his mouth like a little hamster, his little cheeks were all red from eating too much. There were many and bulging, but even so, it did not stop her behavior of stealing food.

"What are you eating secretly?" Nie Wei suddenly shouted softly.

"Ah!" Zheng Shuang was startled, and she almost threw away the mutton in her hand. Finally, relying on her foodie instinct, she stopped her hand at the last moment.

"It's so dangerous, so dangerous." Zheng Shuang looked at the mutton that was still being held by him, heaved a long sigh of relief, then turned back to glare at Nie Wei and complained: "Brother, why are you scaring me?"

"Is it still reasonable to eat secretly?" Nie Wei said with a smile.

"Hehe, I just want to taste it first." Zheng Shuang made an excuse for herself, but looking at her blushing face, she knew that she felt guilty even if she said it.

"Wait until everyone is ready before eating." Nie Wei whispered to Zheng Shuang. It would be cute to eat a few bites secretly, but if everyone is busy and Zheng Shuang keeps eating secretly around the dining table, then it will be broadcast. It doesn't look good.

"Well, I've already tasted it. It's delicious." Zheng Shuang said, and then followed Nie Wei and ran to watch Teacher Huang make Guobao Pork.

"Okay, the last dish of pot-wrapped pork!" When Huang Lei finished the last dish of pot-wrapped pork, everyone finally let out a burst of cheers, because dinner could finally begin with this dish finished.

"Zheng Shuang, how do you like the Guobao Pork I made?" Huang Lei's first chopstick was not to pick up vegetables for himself, but to pick up a piece of Guobao Pork for his student Zheng Shuang.

"Thank you, teacher." After Zheng Shuang thanked him, he picked up the steamed pork buns in his rice bowl and took a bite.

"Well, it's delicious."

"As long as you like it. I don't make this dish very often, and I'm really afraid that I can't make it well. Everyone should try it, there are so many." Huang Lei greeted.

The shredded pork in Beijing sauce is rich in sauce, with the right balance of salty and sweet. The stir-fried vegetables are paired with baked spring pancakes, which are fragrant, fresh, refreshing and crispy. They have all four qualities. There is also fried lamb with green onions. The green and tender white green onions cover up the texture of the lamb. The smell of mutton highlights the aroma of mutton. The whole dish is not smelly and has a full aftertaste.

Of course, there was also the extra pot-fried pork, which was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with moderate sweetness. It was definitely a good dish that was both appetizing and satisfying.

In the end, the five people "wolfed" the dishes, leaving nothing behind. Even some of the soup was eaten up by Huang Lei with rice.

After dinner, the five people licked their stomachs and sat around the table, all looking like they didn't want to move at all.

"It's so delicious, so delicious that I'm full." He Jiong said while rubbing his stomach.

"Teacher Huang's cooking skills are really good." Nie Wei was the most restrained among the few people, but he also felt a little bloated.

"I don't know why, but I always feel that eating here is so delicious." Zheng Shuang expressed doubts, but Huang Lei quickly gave her the answer: "It's mainly because you all participated in the meal. For example, the ingredients were all picked by us, and we were also busy all day, farming and cooking. The more tired people are, the more delicious they will feel when eating."

"That's right." He Jiong listened to this and immediately nodded in agreement.

After dinner, it was not yet seven o'clock. It was impossible for everyone to go to bed so early, so Teacher He suggested that the five of them get together and play poker again.

"There are too many ways to play poker. We five people only have a deck of cards. We definitely can't play Landlord. How about we play a simple one, how about drawing pairs?" Huang Lei found the cards and asked while shuffling them. Everyone nodded in agreement. In fact, no one cared about what to play. It was just a process of entertainment.

Then Huang Lei explained the rules to everyone. It was very simple. One of the big and small jokers in a deck of cards was removed, and then everyone drew cards in order.

After everyone drew cards, the first person drew the cards in the next person's hand in a clockwise direction. If the drawn card can make a pair with the card in his hand, then the pair of cards can be played.

Otherwise, the card will remain in the hand, waiting for the next opportunity or being drawn by the previous player.

In the end, whoever has no cards in his hand first wins.

This game seems simple, but it is actually very technical. First of all, the trump card, whoever holds it means that this person will definitely not escape, so the previous player must take the trump card away to ensure the premise of victory. This process requires not only luck, but also a psychological warfare.

Soon, the five people drew all the cards. Nie Wei picked up the cards in his hand and sorted them out a little, and then saw the card with JOKER in his hand. Nie Wei immediately hid the trump card behind the Ace of Clubs next to him with his fingers.

This is not over yet. He also found that Zheng Shuang, who was his previous player, always looked at him. Nie Wei pretended to expose his cards in Zheng Shuang's sight for a moment.
