Agriculture Idol

Chapter 48

Seeing that Director Liu no longer questioned Li Xiaoyong's acting skills even though he was confused, Li Chengxin felt relieved, said goodbye to Ma Baoer, and took Zhou Hao to make a trap to catch scarabs.

The trap still uses the previous plastic bottle, but the bait will be upgraded from powdered sugar to a more advanced "dessert".

Li Chengxin went to the crew office to find Ali.

"Ah Li, I heard that the canteen of your crew is not open yet, where can I find the seasoning?"

"We have everything we should have in the warehouse, but do you plan to start your own business?" Ali was suddenly asked about this kind of material issue, and he was a little confused.

"It's a bit complicated to say. I'm going to be a bait for catching insects. But the ultimate goal is to eat insects." Li Chengxin explained.

"Then eating bugs live broadcast?"

"That's natural."

With a face full of ghosts, Ali wrote a note to Li Chengxin, asking him to go to the warehouse to pick up the things he needed, and then packed the rest and returned them back.

Next, Li Chengxin found an open place and started making bait.

Collect the leftover fruits and vegetables from the crew and put them into plastic bottles. Then add sugar and yeast powder, add water and stir.After being left for a period of time, the "pickled" fruits will emit a strong and sweet aroma with the smell of wine.

Before it was too late, Li Chengxin put a few bottles near the edge of the forest and marked them next to some trees that scarabs would like very much.

When he and Brother Xiao Yong went to the island to repair wells before, they heard Ali say that there seemed to be wild boars on the island, and it was best not to go into the woods after it was late.There are a lot more people on the island now, and the lights are brightly lit where several buildings are gathered. Wild boars should not come here.

Back at the temporary dormitory arranged by the crew, brother Xiaoyong was absent-mindedly eating a box of lunch.

Seeing Li Chengxin coming back, Brother Xiaoyong immediately greeted him: "Xin baby, do you think I really got enlightened because of eating that fried snack?"

Brother Xiao Yong may be the most incredible person in this incident. When he was persuaded by Director Liu to accept this role in the morning, he was already uneasy, and he was scolded by Director Liu all morning because he had no acting skills at all.

As a result... I suddenly understood how to make the necessary expressions and movements during the performance.

After thinking about it, all this really happened after eating the snacks Li Chengxin handed him.

Li Chengxin: "Hehe, it's possible. Otherwise, I'll take you to meet the old man who made that snack tomorrow."

"Okay, okay, then I really have to thank that old man!"

But seeing the scene where Brother Xiaoyong really participated in the filming with all his heart, Li Chengxin really wanted to discuss something with Brother Xiaoyong.

That is the contract.

Entering the show business circle, it is inevitable to find a company to sign a contract, otherwise, with Brother Xiaoyong's brains and personality, he may be eaten alive in minutes.

But now, Geyue Entertainment, where Qi Lanting works, is a good choice, and it seems that Yuan Zhao has shown enough goodwill.

Thinking about this, Li Chengxin also talked to Brother Xiaoyong, and called Yuan Zhao to chat with him, asking him to sort out a sample contract when he had time.

Yuan Zhao brought the contract to the door that night.

The contract uses Qi Lanting's contract as a model, which is very free.The contract is for a three-year period, and the content is roughly "accept the company's arrangement first and cooperate with the publicity", but the base salary and share are several levels lower than Qi Lanting's.This is natural, Li Chengxin himself is not well-known, and Brother Xiaoyong is a complete rookie.

Judging from this contract, Li Chengxin and Brother Xiaoyong can continue to be their agricultural anchors even if they sign a contract with Geyue Entertainment.

Zhou Hao was also signed under the name of Ge Entertainment, but he was regarded as the personal photographer of Li Chengxin and Brother Xiaoyong, so Li Chengxin and the others had to pay their own salary.

"Cough, I really don't need a salary." Fan Zhou Hao waved his hand, "My money is enough!"

"I always have to give, but my salary is not high, so let's give a little less." Li Chengxin was really satisfied with the fan boy that the system sent to him. Does "stunt" actually refer to "money" ability or Zhou Hao's level of editing and directing?

In any case, all parties are satisfied with the final result.

The next day, the news of this small contract signing flashed across the entertainment section, but some netizens still noticed the news.

"Watching yesterday's live broadcast, Brother Xiaoyong's acting skills are really good, much better than those sissy little fresh meats. I can't believe I have no experience at all."

"Since Huanxing Entertainment went bankrupt, Geyue is really the only one!"

"I hope Brother Xiaoyong and Xin Wa'er will not give up doing agricultural live broadcasts!"

Li Chengxin didn't know this information yet, because he got up early in the morning to drag Brother Xiaoyong and Qi Lanting, who had no part in the show today, into the woods to collect bug traps.

"You two just go? Let me go!" Qi Lanting wrapped himself up in the quilt and didn't want to go out.

"Lanting, you touched bugs yesterday because of fans, today we are just collecting traps, how can it be so scary?"

Li Chengxin tried to persuade Qi Lanting to get up, but Qi Lanting saw through his trick.

"Because in addition to collecting traps, you also have to force me to eat bugs! I won't be able to join you today even if you beat me to death!"

In desperation, Li Chengxin finally let Qi Lanting go, and walked towards Linzi with Brother Xiaoyong and Zhou Hao.

Last night, Li Chengxin's specially made bait was indeed loved by the beetles. The plastic trap bottle that was put away was densely packed with beetles, and it was quite heavy to hold.

Unfortunately, this has reduced the number of female netizens in the live broadcast room by more than half, but it has also attracted some curious food netizens.

[I also ate this in my hometown when I was a child, but I have never seen so many live ones, it is so scary]

[Maybe it feels similar to a cicada pupa, right?Just more feet and wings]

[If you can eat it, why treat it as a pest?I can't understand]

Li Chengxin and others followed the staff's guidance and found the small courtyard where the workers of the food shops on the main street lived.

The little old man was also very happy to see that Li Chengxin brought more scarabs and a bag of fruit dug out from Qi Lanting's fan gifts.

"Grandpa, thank you so much for making fried dumplings!" Brother Xiaoyong thanked him sincerely, but the little old man was confused.

Li Chengxin explained the whole story with a smile, which made the little old man and all the neighbors who came out to listen to the story praise the wonder.

Calling out the neighbors who wanted to eat blindly, the little old man also took out a small half sack of newly caught scarabs.

Someone in the little old man's neighbor was selling straw toys on the main street, so he helped Li Chengxin and the others weave a few bamboo cages. The four bamboo cages contained four crickets. Their clear calls and the autumn wind blew across the island. .

Then, everyone worked together to scald all the beetles to death and wash them, and then picked out the wings one by one.

Then cook the chafers with salt water and vinegar, drain them, and fry them for 5-10 minutes to dry up the water.

When frying chafers, mix salt, sugar, five-spice powder, and chili powder evenly.

After turning off the heat, take out the fried beetles with a strainer and drain the oil, put them in the seasoning basin and shake to coat the seasoning evenly.

Pot it!

Looking at the chafers in a large stainless steel basin, the color has changed from golden to brown, and there are crystal salt frost on each leg.

"A delicious and crispy high-protein, low-fat healthy snack is ok, enjoy it!" Li Chengxin said to the camera.

[Tricking me to eat... eat bugs! 】

[Speaking of which, it is really a healthy snack with high protein and low fat, I really want to have a few]

【Eating with eyes closed might be delicious ˋ(°▽、°)】

"Hey, I think of my grandson when I see you. He used to like to have a big fight." The little old man said with emotion.

"Then he doesn't like to eat now?" Li Chengxin asked.

"Not really, it's just that their family lives in the city. First, it's inconvenient to eat, and second, it might be weird to tell people that they like to eat bugs, right?"

"Old man, there's nothing we can do about it. There really aren't many opportunities to see these bugs in the city. It's normal that they don't like them. The program we did yesterday was to ask Qi Lanting to catch bugs. Today there was a lot of scolding on our Weibo. But I I believe that if we keep doing this, some people will be influenced by our videos and become able to get closer to nature, get closer to bugs, and get rid of pests... and try eating bugs."

"Haha, good point, young man! When your video is edited, I'm going to send it to my grandson."

The little old man was very happy, and when he sent Li Chengxin and the others away, he also sent a lot of messy snacks, which were basically sent to each other in the crew.

Brother Xiaoyong's intermediate acting skills have already been able to support his debut in a TV drama crew. The explosion of his acting skills yesterday afternoon finished filming several plots arranged by Director Liu.Without his role today, he planned to go back to Hongming Village with Li Chengxin and the others.

After saying goodbye to those who needed to say goodbye, the group of people came to the pier and rowed their small sampan back to Hongming Village.

From afar, I could see people coming and going near their sea urchin breeding cage, while Guapi was "supervising" the work on the shore, and by the way, he welcomed Li Chengxin and others home.

Brother Xiaoyong had already heard the news that their sea urchins were evaluated by the Fisheries Bureau. With the help of the Michelin chef, the evaluation was actually on the high side. The retail price can reach 45 yuan a catty, which is about 12 yuan. A sea urchin for [-] yuan.

Li Chengxin also said before that sea urchins consume the sea urchin yellow in their bodies in winter, so all sea urchins need to be fished out of the breeding cages before winter comes and sold.

For this matter, the whole village was mobilized to help.

Seeing that the villagers have things to do, Li Chengxin also talked about his follow-up plans by the way.

His sea urchin farming is just an experiment, and now that the experiment is successful, he does not plan to continue raising sea urchins, and the rest will be left to the village.

The next thing he has to do is to circle a small area of ​​sea and try to use what he learned in school to restore the ecology of the sea area.

Hearing about Li Chengxin's plan, Lin Yiyi brought Village Chief Qu here.It was discussed to transfer several ready-made sea urchin breeding cages to the area contracted by Uncle Donghai, and the sea urchin breeding cages were also given to the elders in the villages of Uncle Donghai and Uncle Donghai.In addition, other people in the village also plan to wait for the spring of next year to follow suit and set up some breeding cages to raise sea urchins.

In the end, Li Chengxin chose the area extending from his own houseboat. A sea area about 20 meters wide was included in Li Chengxin's name, and it was used as an experimental base for restoring marine ecology. Since it was not for commercial purposes, and sea urchin farming Success, Li Chengxin has made a great contribution to the economic development of the village, and the village committee is embarrassed to charge the contract fee as usual, but only a symbolic fee.
