I'm a web novelist, and you want me to work in the entertainment industry?

Will I be able to buy green beans at the market in August?

When this line of text appeared clearly on screen, the comments section unsurprisingly exploded once again.

【? ? ? ? ? ? 】

[666, my eyes are playing tricks on me. I read it as Cheng Che wanting to buy green beans ().)]

[Who can beat you at recording this variety show?! Who can possibly beat you?!?!?!]

I'm begging you, Che-ge, if you keep going like this... I'm really going to become a fan!

There was no fear of the strict teacher in their eyes, only excitement at finding something to enjoy.

[Cheng Che: I'm going to create some entertainment value for the show, are you guys from Erduolong?!]

I've figured it out: this person is essentially a comedian, a devil at heart.

Those who didn't watch the live stream really missed out on Tai Nai's (a popular online community) support.

Unable to see the barrage of comments flooding the screen, Cheng Che pulled his phone away from the camera.

He glanced at Xiao Tang, who was still in shock, and without saying anything, he opened his phone's map and searched for the nearest farmers' market—less than a kilometer away.

"Since things have come to this, let's go to the market to buy groceries first."

……

……

When I entered the market, it was almost 5 p.m., and there weren't many people there.

As soon as you step inside, the unique, complex smells of the market hit your nostrils, a strong sense of everyday life.

This market is so clean! It's the cleanest market I've ever seen.

[Knowing that the "Wandering Diary" program crew was coming to film a variety show nearby, how could we not keep it clean and tidy?]

[Just came from the live stream next door. I heard that the ordinary guy is going to buy green beans. Is that true? By the way, this market looks kind of familiar...]

Because he had already decided what dishes to cook on the way here, Cheng Che's goal was quite clear.

He first went into the meat section and picked out a piece of pork belly with a good balance of fat and lean meat. Then he bought a few yuan's worth of hand-pulled noodles from a small noodle stall.

[Wait, what are the meat and noodles for? I want to see green beans!]

[Urgent! Why haven't you bought the green beans yet? Did you chicken out at the last minute? Cheng Che, you can't give in!]

[Don't rush upstairs, it seems Cheng Che is making braised noodles with potatoes and green beans?]

[It seems so! Cheng Che, a web novelist, actually knows how to make this? I really love this food, it's tasteful!]

After picking up the meat and noodles, Cheng Che prepared to go buy green beans.

Stepping into the vegetable section, before even seeing any green beans, I unexpectedly bumped into a "familiar face"—

Tian Xiwei was standing in front of a potato stall, her hands behind her back, her toes slightly raised, looking down carefully at the potatoes in front of her.

Her paparazzi and staff stood by her side.

【Huh? Oda's here too?】

[I was wondering why this market looked so familiar! Turns out I just saw it in Xiaotian's live stream!]

[666 These two are just so destined to meet? They even bump into each other while grocery shopping?]

[Is this stalking? (laughs)]

[Don't make a fuss, upstairs. Haven't you and your neighbor bumped into each other at the nearest farmers' market?]

"Tian... Xiao Tian?" Cheng Che hesitated for a moment before stepping forward to greet him.

"Hmm?" Tian Xiwei turned around at the sound of her voice, a hint of confusion on her face. But when she saw who it was, she immediately smiled. "Cheng Che? What a coincidence, you're here to buy groceries too?"

"It's not exactly a coincidence, there's only one farmers' market nearby," Cheng Che said.

"That's true." Tian Xiwei nodded.

Cheng Che glanced at the potatoes on the vegetable stall next to him and asked, "Are you... going to buy potatoes?"

"Yes!" Tian Xiwei nodded.

"I don't know how to cook, so I searched online for delicious and simple tomato dishes, and finally decided to make braised beef brisket with tomatoes and potatoes."

Well... of course, the fact that it's easy to eat according to the internet is one thing, but the main reason is that she herself really wanted to eat it.

Is tomato and potato stew with beef brisket really that easy? This dish looks incredibly difficult to make!

This dish takes a lot of time to prepare, but it's not actually that difficult; the main thing is to have patience.

[Search for Dai Si Nai...]

"Then why don't you just make scrambled eggs with tomatoes? It's simple and delicious," Cheng Che asked casually.

Upon hearing this, Tian Xiwei explained, "I know, but I'm allergic to egg yolks, so I can't eat scrambled eggs with tomatoes."

"I see." Cheng Che said with a sudden realization, a hint of empathy appearing in his eyes as he looked at Tian Xiwei.

I'm allergic to mangoes, and she's allergic to egg yolks; we're both unlucky kids.

[Oda is allergic to egg yolks? I've never heard of that before.]

[The person upstairs isn't a long-time fan, right? Long-time fans know about this.]

[That means Oda will never taste scrambled eggs with tomatoes again in his life... That's terrifying.]

"Huh?" Cheng Che suddenly realized something. "Speaking of which, why didn't you just use mine if you wanted potatoes? Why did you go and buy extra?"

"Huh?" Tian Xiwei was taken aback and subconsciously looked at the staff member accompanying her.

Those watery eyes blinked, as if asking: Is this legal?

Without hesitation, the staff member said, "In principle, sharing ingredients is not allowed."

The rule that ingredients cannot be shared was set by Wang Zheng from the very beginning.

After all, if the six guests share the same six ingredients, wouldn't no one need to go out to buy groceries?

What do they film for their show?

"Okay." Tian Xiwei wasn't too disappointed; this was within her expectations.

She was about to continue picking potatoes when she saw Cheng Che suddenly have a look of realization on his face.

"Oh, I understand," he said.

Tian Xiwei looked at him blankly and asked, "What do you know?"

"Think about it," Cheng Che said, looking at her, "when the director explained the rules this afternoon, didn't he say that the ingredients were unlimited, as long as there was no waste?"

Tian Xiwei paused to recall for a moment and nodded.

Although not exactly the same words, they have the same meaning.

"So, I understand what the production team meant," Cheng Che continued.

"As long as there is no waste, the supply of ingredients is unlimited, but the production team now disagrees with me sharing potatoes with you."

"What does this mean?" Cheng Che continued without waiting for Tian Xiwei's answer:

"The program team's point is that giving you potatoes to use is a waste."

"They think it's a waste to give you these potatoes," Cheng Che said seriously and confidently.

【？？？？？？？】

[Oh? So that's how it's explained? That's amazing.]

My head is so itchy, it feels like my brain is growing in.

[It's completely hairless! That's definitely why the production team didn't use potatoes for Xiaotian!]

[First of all, I'm not trying to stir up trouble, but if I were a fan of Oda, I absolutely couldn't stand this! Isn't this lousy show blatantly mocking Oda? Brothers and sisters, let's bomb this lousy show!]

[#TrendingTopic# The production team of "Wandering Diary" angrily denounces Tian Xiwei as unworthy!]

[How can Cheng Che be so good at stirring things up? Hahahaha, the two staff members are completely dumbfounded.]

Cheng Che: The Demon Orb! Descends!
