Chapter 189 Ring Change
At this time, Zhang Minglian had stood up and slowly walked to Yang Wuxi's side. He smiled and said, "Sister Wuxi, today we will cook dinner together. Do you have any specialties? We can discuss it."
Yang Wuxi smiled a little embarrassedly when she heard Zhang Minglian's words. She admitted that she was actually a novice in cooking. Apart from instant noodles, she really couldn't think of what she could do. Zhang Minglian didn't show a disappointed expression after hearing this. Instead, he said more gently: "It doesn't matter, we can learn together. Cooking is also a kind of fun, isn't it?"
Zhang Minglian's words made Yang Wuxi feel a little uncomfortable, and she always felt that the other party was too deliberate. But out of politeness, she nodded and expressed her willingness to try. So, except for Zhang Minglian and Yang Wuxi who stayed in the living room to discuss the dinner preparation plan, the other guests chose to take their luggage to their respective rooms, leaving them enough space and time.
In the living room, Zhang Minglian began to ask Yang Wuxi about her taste and preferences, trying to find some dishes that could be made. Yang Wuxi also tried to recall the delicacies she had eaten in the past, hoping to provide some inspiration for dinner.
As time went by, the two finally decided on the ten dishes they were going to make, and they began to discuss the specific production steps and the materials needed. After everything was confirmed, they placed an order for the ingredients from Xiao Pan, and the two went to their respective rooms to rest.
Other guests also started their own activities in their rooms. Some of them started to tidy up their rooms, while others started to read books or watch TV programs in their rooms. The whole Heartbeat House regained a relaxing atmosphere.
At four o'clock, Yang Wuxi walked out of the room and walked briskly to the kitchen. When she stepped into the kitchen, she could not help but be attracted by the scene in front of her. The kitchen was cleverly divided into three areas, each with a frosted partition in the middle. This design not only ensured privacy, but also made the whole space look more tidy and orderly.
Yang Wuxi remembered that Xiao Pan had specifically told her that the kitchen area she and Zhang Minglian used was the largest area in the middle. She looked around and found that each area was equipped with a full range of kitchen utensils and seasonings to meet various cooking needs.
She walked to the middle area, gently pushed open the frosted partition, and walked in. The kitchen was spacious and bright, with sunlight shining through the window onto the neat countertops. Everything seemed in good order. She took a deep breath, feeling the freshness brought by this new cooking environment.
Seeing that Yang Wuxi was ready to start cooking, Zhang Minglian walked into the kitchen with a smile. He noticed the unique design of the kitchen, which was divided into three areas. The middle area was larger, and the other two areas seemed to be set up for boys and girls to have separate areas. Zhang Minglian walked to Yang Wuxi, and the two began to discuss the specific steps according to the previously decided menu.
Zhang Minglian was very gentlemanly and took the initiative to take on the more difficult steps, such as cutting meat and cooking dishes that require heat control, which made Yang Wuxi feel a lot more relaxed. Although they were all novices, Zhang Minglian also did some preparation before participating in the show, so everything went smoothly.
In this largest kitchen, Yang Wuxi and Zhang Minglian started their first collaborative cooking. They followed the recipe step by step, and although there were some bumps in the process, they finally successfully completed ten dishes. These dishes looked a little shabby, but they were full of fragrance and made people salivate.
During the cooking process, Yang Wuxi and Zhang Minglian learned from and helped each other, which not only enhanced their understanding of each other, but also allowed them to enjoy the fun of cooking.
At around 8 o'clock, when the dinner was served, the aroma of the dishes really attracted the attention of other guests. They sat around the table with anticipation and began to taste the dishes carefully prepared by Yang Wuxi and Zhang Minglian. However, after taking the first bite, they showed expressions of disappointment that could not be concealed.
It turned out that, except for the two home-cooked dishes of scrambled eggs with tomatoes and stir-fried shredded potatoes, the other dishes were not satisfactory. Some dishes were over-seasoned, covering up the taste of the ingredients themselves; some were not cooked enough and the taste was not good. Although Yang Wuxi and Zhang Minglian had tried their best, the result was not what they expected.
Faced with this situation, both of them were a little embarrassed. They had hoped to bring everyone a delicious dinner, but the reality was far from their expectations. However, they also understood that as novices, they still had a lot to learn and improve in cooking.
Although the dishes were not satisfactory, everyone tried to be polite and respectful. They all expressed their gratitude to Yang Wuxi and Zhang Minglian for their efforts and contributions, especially Yue Muchen, who said that if he had cooked, it would have been even worse.
In the end, although half of the dishes on the table were left, the guests could only eat half full. Obviously, their cooking skills did not satisfy the taste buds of everyone present. The director team naturally noticed this situation, as well as the overwhelming complaints on the Internet and the dissatisfaction of fans.
The comments were filled with fans expressing their sympathy for their idols and their doubts about the production team:
"I don't know what the production crew was thinking. How could my brother go hungry?"
"Why do you make the male and female guests so embarrassed?"
"I'm here to watch a dating show, not to watch the guests cook."
"If you dare to let Yisu starve, I will send razor blades to the production team!"
"I am really impressed. What on earth did the production team think of letting my Mr. Shen eat these dishes?"
“It’s so embarrassing for both the eaters and the cooks!”
These negative voices did bring a lot of pressure to the program team, but the program team also keenly captured the positive signal that the popularity of the program continued to rise. Faced with such a situation, they decisively decided to add an extra midnight snack feeding session to ease the embarrassment of the guests and also add more fun and highlights to the program.
The original intention of setting up the segment of male and female guests cooking together was indeed to enhance the understanding and affection between the guests through various interactions and tasks. When the program team invited the guests, they had already anticipated that their cooking skills might vary. According to the information they collected, almost no one among the ten people was good at cooking, which also made the program team pay more attention to the fun and challenge of the tasks when planning.
The addition of the midnight snack feeding session has indeed brought many benefits to the guests. First, it provides nutritional supplements for daily meals, ensuring that the guests can maintain sufficient physical strength and energy during the intense program recording process. Secondly, this session also makes the guests who are responsible for cooking every day a lot easier, because even if the dishes they make in front of the camera may not be perfect, the provision of midnight snacks also shares some of their pressure.
