A Mouthful of Sky-high Fried Rice, Lao Tang Apprenticed on the Spot

Also opened at the same time was Li Yi's live broadcast. The live broadcast mobile phone was placed under the No. 1 seat behind Li Yi.

Within a few seconds of the live broadcast starting, thousands of people poured into the live broadcast room, and in an instant, barrages poured in.

"Wow! Look what I found!"

"You actually secretly broadcast live? You didn't even say hello?"

"You didn't give any notice? If I hadn't caught it, I wouldn't have known you were live streaming."

"Where is this? Does it feel like it's in a river or a lake?"

"I saw someone said on Weibo yesterday that Brother Yi and Yifei sneaked out of the hotel. It turns out it's true? Hahaha!"

"Is this an elopement? Where did you kidnap Yifei?"

" @xx @

"

A few seconds later, the number of viewers in the live broadcast room exceeded 10,000.

Looking back at the live broadcast, Li Yixiao asked: "There are so many people still awake? Guess where I am now?"

"Reed Marsh? Is this Ning Province Film and Television City?"

"Based on the refraction of light and quantum mechanics, I analyzed that this should be in a body of water."

"Must be on the way to the West to learn scriptures!"

Seeing that their answers were getting more and more outrageous, Li Yi smiled and announced the answer: "We are currently located on Zhenhu Lake in Jiayu County, Hubei Province, and we are here to shoot a food documentary.

That’s right, it’s the one I mentioned in the show before. What we’re going to film this time is the process of picking lotus roots…”

With Li Yi's introduction, the number of people in the live broadcast room also increased rapidly, and soon exceeded the display limit of 100,000+.

It is early in the morning, and it is also the time when Douyin traffic is at its lowest.

People who stay up late have gone to bed, and people who go to work haven't gotten up yet.

The data of 100,000+ immediately sent Li Yi's live broadcast room to the first place on the live broadcast list.

After hearing Li Yi's words, many viewers in Hubei Province excitedly posted comments.

"Wow! You actually came to Hubei Province?"

"It's under Jiangcheng! It's so close to me!"

“The lotus root from Hubei Province is absolutely delicious!”

"Stop talking! Get dressed now! I'm going to visit the class!"

Some of the viewers also wanted to send some gifts, but found that the gift function was turned off, so they sent comments asking Li Yi to turn on the gift function.

Seeing these barrages, Li Yi smiled and said: "I accept everyone's wishes, so forget about the gifts. I started the live broadcast just to let everyone see the process of filming the documentary and chat with everyone. This is not to make money, everyone watch." Just let it be fun, there’s no need to buy gifts.”

After chatting with the audience for a few words, Li Yi turned around and continued chatting with Shengwu.

Shengwu was now more relaxed and gradually no longer afraid of the camera.

Through his introduction, Li Yi also learned that the eldest brother who was punting his boat was a brother of Shengwu, named Mao Rong.

Maorong was more talkative than Shengwu. When the conversation started, he started talking about the two brothers' experiences as lotus root diggers.

It turns out that the two brothers come here to dig lotus roots every year during this season. This is already the fourth year.

Both of their children are in school, and their tuition is earned by digging lotus roots.

In the early years, they followed the contractor team to work on the construction site.

But at the end of the year, I couldn't make any money and I only earned a bunch of IOUs.

So they began to find work on their own.

On weekdays, they do whatever work is available, and digging lotus roots is considered a relatively lucrative job.

Although it is tiring, at the end of the day, I can earn seven to eight hundred, and on good days I can earn thousands.

After learning about their income, Liu Yifei exclaimed: "That's a lot! It's twenty or thirty thousand a month."

If you could dig lotus roots all year round, you would make a lot of money! "

After hearing this, the audience in the live broadcast room also expressed their approval.

"Two or thirty thousand a month, I want to go too! Take me with you!"

"I can't earn ten thousand even if I work hard in an electronics factory for a month, I might as well dig lotus roots!"

However, some viewers who knew the specific situation sent barrage reminders.

"Don't speak too soon. Digging lotus roots is really not something everyone can do."

"Digging lotus roots is very hard. If your physical fitness is not up to par, you won't be able to dig them. You will fall down from exhaustion after a while."

In front of the camera, the two Shengwu brothers also looked at each other, smiled bitterly and shook their heads.

Liu Yifei couldn't see the barrage, and when she saw them shaking their heads, she couldn't help but wonder: "What? Am I right?"

"No way."

Shengwu smiled shyly and said, "I can't stand it even if I do it for a month. My body can't stand it if I do it all year round."

"That's true. It's all manual work, so you still have to balance work and rest."

Liu Yifei said this, but she had no clear idea of ​​the fatigue of digging lotus roots.

While talking, the boat had already reached the edge of a lake and field above the water.

The lake field is covered with dried lotus stems and lotus leaf rolls, all of which have turned into withered yellow.

The lotus root diggers who arrived in front had already parked their boats at the edge of the fields and went to the fields with shovels.

The two Shengwu brothers also parked the boat at the edge of the field and asked the camera crew to get ashore first before they got off the boat with their tools.

"Ouch!"

As soon as they got off the boat, Ou Tian gave the film crew a slap in the face.

A cameraman was carrying a camera, trying to find a good shooting angle. He planned to walk deeper, but after just a few steps, he got stuck in the mud.

The thick and sticky mud is like ointment. Once you step into it, you will be sucked into it.

The cameraman was caught off guard and almost plunged into the mud.

At the critical moment, for fear of damaging the machine, he leaned back and sat down in the mud, but fortunately he did not damage the machine.

Several cameramen nearby saw this and wanted to pull him, but they were all stuck in the mud and could not move.

Liu Yifei also knew nothing about the power of mud. She could not move after stepping into the mud.

Li Yi helped her stand firm before taking a step forward and pulling out several cameramen.

"Oh my God!"

The cameraman was still worried: "It's not even easy to walk here, how can we take pictures?"

Zeng Shun also walked over. Hearing this, he turned back and pointed at the two Shengwu brothers who were wading in the mud: "Everyone can walk, why can't we?"

Seeing this, the cameramen were speechless and stood up one after another and began to move.

"Don't be anxious when walking in the mud, take your time and work hard."

Li Yi taught them his experience: "Don't hook your toes. If it gets sucked, shake it a few times to let the air in, and then you can pull it out."

According to the method he said, the cameramen finally mastered the method of walking.

Although I was still walking crookedly, I could at least take pictures.

Upon seeing this, Li Yi returned to Liu Yifei.

Liu Yifei stood in the mud, her knees submerged in the mud, like a lotus standing on the mud.

She was looking intently at the two Shengwu brothers, who had already begun to dig up the lotus roots.

The 500 yuan remuneration given by the film crew was just extra money for them, and poaching the lotus roots was the bulk of their money.

The two had already found a location and dug up the mud with shovels.

The color of thick silt is similar to that of cement, but it is more delicate than the mixed cement and has no bubbles at all.

This means that there is no ambiguity about its weight at all, it is all real, and one shovelful is a shovelful.

After a while, the two brothers each dug a one-meter-deep trench, but still no trace of lotus roots was seen.

Seeing this scene, the barrage in the live broadcast room suddenly exploded.

"Ah? Do you want to dig like this?"
