My Wife is Obviously a Queen but She is too Virtuous

"Hey, Lottie, do you think we should name this farmhouse?"

The next afternoon, in that small farmhouse under Manao Mountain.

He Tong, Xu Zhenzhen and Dong Xiaopeng had all arrived early in the morning, everything was ready, and the first phase of the recording of "Life of Longing" was about to begin.

Before the start of the recording, Hong Sanshi suddenly asked this to Fang Xiaole.

"I remember that besides corn and vegetables, there seems to be an orange forest on the mountain, right?"

Fang Xiaole thought about it and asked Zhang Zhiqin, who was next to him.

"Yes, I even went to pick two this morning, they are quite sweet."

Zhang Zhiqin replied.

"Well, this farmhouse of ours is shaped a bit round, like an orange, Hong, Luo, why don't you call it an orange house?"

Fang Xiaole said to Hong Sanshi, while also seeking Luo Hui's opinion.

"Orange House? This name is good, Zhang Zhiqin, remember to remind me to add this name when I do the post-production."

Luo Hui thought it was very good, and planned to put the name "Orange House" on the courtyard at a later stage.

"Hello, Orange House, I'm Lao Hong is here!"

Hong Sanshi ran towards the "Orange House" with small steps, nimbly like a 180-pound fat man, causing the other guests and crew to laugh out loud.

However, the old geek soon stopped laughing.

As the show began to record, Hong Sanshi and He Tong, two middle-aged uncles, walked up from the bottom of Manao Mountain together, climbed for a while to the foot of the mountain, and saw the farmhouse.

"Woah, this is a nice little house!"

Hong Sanshi pushed open the courtyard door and looked around, tsking in admiration.

"What kind of flower is this, it's pretty!"

He Tong followed in, and said in surprise at the many small flowers blooming on the vines climbing the fence.

"There's still a swing over there."

Hong Sanshi walked into that pavilion in the courtyard, walked over to the swing, turned around and shouted to He Tong.

"Eh, Mr. He, come give me a push."

Said about to sit on the swing.

"Teacher Hong you take it easy, don't collapse from sitting on it, we are renting this house from the landlord."

He Tong hurriedly went up to stop Hong Sanshi, his blessed size and swing compared to simply a big bear riding a toy car.

"What? Rent? I thought it was your apple station that fixed it, why are you so poor that you can't afford to fix a room?"

Hong Sanshi was aware of the financial dilemma the program was facing, so he half-heartedly spat.

Many of the staff couldn't help but burst out laughing, and only someone of Mr. Hong's level dared to spit out the Apple Channel's leadership like that.

The camera follows the two all the way through the tour of the small courtyard and farmhouse, followed by the appearance of Xu Zhenzhen and Dong Xiaopeng.

The four guests were all familiar with each other and were soon chatting away, when Fang Xiaole said off camera.

"Welcome four of you to the Orange House, we will experience three months of farm life here."

Hong Sanshi asked, "Director, there's no rice or food in this house, it's almost night, what are we going to eat?"

Fang Xiaole replied, "All the ingredients must be obtained by everyone's labor."

"Labor to obtain?" The four guests were stunned.

Fang Xiaole continued, "There are corn fields and orange groves on the mountain, so you can exchange the picked corn and oranges for other food."

"That's easy, I'll go pick them right away!"

Dong Xiaopeng was about to go out with a jerk of his sleeve, he had a medium build, a slightly round face, a silly smile, and was a real person at a glance.

"Wait a minute, Peng, don't be in a hurry."

Hong Sanshi was busy dragging this honest kid, and Fang Xiaole asked.

"And how is the exchange?"

Zhang Zhiqin immediately handed over something similar to a "price list", the four guests took a look at it, and were suddenly a little dizzy.

"Two hundred corn for half a pound of meat, ten pounds of oranges for half a pound of rice, one hundred corn for a bottle of soy sauce and a bag of salt..."

Hong Sanshi stared up at Fang Xiaole, "Even exchanging corn for soy sauce, you guys are too cruel, right?"

Fang Xiaole chuckled.

"One more thing to remind you is that the landlord rents this yard to us because the program is strapped for cash and hasn't paid the rent yet, but we've made a deal with the landlord that if we pick 2,000 corn for him, it will cover the rent!"

Xu Zhenzhen wrestled his finger and calculated, "Two hundred corn and half a kilogram of meat, a thousand corn is five kilograms of meat, it's not expensive! Five pounds of meat will cover the rent."

Dong Xiaopeng immediately became energetic and jerked up his sleeves again, "Let's go, let's go and pick back two thousand pounds of corn!"

"Okay, Ollie give!" Xu Zhenzhen was also very motivated.

"You guys wait." He Tong cryptically pulled these two silly kids.

Hong Sanshi was speechless, "You guys are silly? Is that how the math works? Two thousand corn is so easy to pick, director, so few, eight hundred."

Poppycock!

As soon as Hong Sanshi opened his mouth, he gave more than the right discount, and many people laughed, but fortunately it was possible to dispose of these voice-overs later.

"Two thousand."

Fang Xiaole was iron-faced.

After failing to bargain, the four finally decided to ignore the rent for now and settle today's lunch first.

The next step was for Hong Sanshi and He Tong to pick up firewood to build the stove, and Dong Xiaopeng and Xu Zhenzhen to pick corn and then change the ingredients.

After a few hours of torturing, at around 6pm, the guests finally had a hot meal.

Fortunately, Hong Sanshi was an excellent cook and cooked several dishes that were very tasty, and several people ate with great pleasure.

After the meal, they brushed the dishes and cleaned up the kitchen table.

The four of them then sat in the gazebo, blowing in the evening breeze, casually chatting about their interesting things, and so it was soon after ten o'clock in the evening.

"Let's go, you've had a long day, go to bed."

"Okay."

The four of them walked into the orange house and returned to the room they had been assigned before.

Three men in one bunk, and Seojinjin in one room.

Several follow up photographers followed separately into the bedroom and filmed a segment until the guests turned off the lights and went to bed, and the first phase of the recording was considered over.

"So soon after recording the first phase, why does it feel like it's over without recording anything?"

A part of the people went to sleep in the village at the bottom of the mountain, the program team rented a few houses with the townspeople in advance, while the director team and the location and photography set up simple tents inside and outside the small courtyard.

Zhang Zhiqin was a little stunned, when recording "Super Challenge" it was called a hard time, now recording "Longing for Life" how it feels like just casually finished a period.

"Brother Fang, do you think the audience loves to watch a show like ours?"

Zhang Zhiqin and Fang Xiaole slept in the same tent, he tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, he finally couldn't help but turn over and ask Fang Xiaole.

In fact, not only him, the rest of the program staff all held the same question in their hearts.

Even Luo Hui, who is the chief director of the show, also quietly muttered, but he didn't want to say it directly for fear of hurting his morale.

It couldn't be helped, everyone had never seen this type of variety show before.

There were no market lessons to learn from it!

Oink, oink, oink.

However, he was answered with a series of snoring sounds.

Zhang Zhiqin was speechless, Gotta, sleep!

I was planning to sleep, but I found that I received a WeChat friend request on my phone.

The other party introduced themselves and wrote, "I'm Mo Yan, I'm going through immediately!"
