Even though the director had said ‘See you next week’ on the camera, they would film both episodes on the same trip.
They had done this because they had considered the health of the celebrities. Many people hurried to the highlands once they reached Qinghai. They often succumbed to altitude sickness the moment they entered Hoh Xil. After much consideration, the production team decided to set the first episode in Golmud so that the celebrities could acclimate themselves there for a few days before entering Hoh Xil.
This was evidently a wise choice. This saved them a lot of trouble after they entered the mountains.
The next morning, the group followed their guide, Zhuo Ren, into Hoh Xil. The very excited group passed by the familiar Nanshankou and Daxitan, heading straight to the entrance of Kunlun Mountain.
“We had only just been here, but when I see it again right now, it feels like I am meeting an old friend.” Qin Zhuo lamented.
“Wow, you have become more eloquent since coming here.” Wan Shishi teased him.
“Of course. After all, I have a good master.” Qin Zhuo patted his chest with satisfaction.
Everyone could not help but laugh.
The director who liked making things difficult for them appeared while everyone was in a good mood.
“We will be going to Zhuo Ren’s home today. His wife has prepared a feast for lunch. We will pick two people to suffer the punishment through games. They would have to eat the surprise dishes that our host has prepared.”
Everyone grew weary as they asked, “What’re the surprise dishes?”
The director smirked. “We will keep it a secret for now. But you can ask our specialists to share with us what food they like and dislike the most in Hoh Xil.”
“Director, wouldn’t this ruin the unity between ethnic groups?” Feng Lanchu asked weakly. Even if she encountered food she did not like in the homes of Tibetan residents, she would rarely say it outright. It would negatively impact if she were to say outright on the show that their food was bad.
Everyone could not help but laugh out loud when they heard that. “Director, for the sake of ethnic unity, let’s just skip the surprise food segment.”
“We don’t mean to belittle anything. The food is good, but it’s just that some people cannot accept certain foods. For example, there is always contention about durian and crayfish. Don’t try to worm your way out of this and go according to the production plans.” The director said nicely.
“I like jerky the best. Even though it is raw, it tastes excellent after it has been dehydrated. And it is very chewy.” Zhuang Nan said. “It is also the most convenient food to have around when in the wild.
He had only just finished his sentence when those around him took a deep breath, “It’s raw?”
“No, no. This is a food that people would dislike, right?” Wan Shishi shook her head violently.
“Sashimi is raw too.” Zhuang Nan said, a little puzzled.
“It’s different.” Wan Shishi rattled off a list of benefits of having sashimi. When she was done, Zhuang Nan only smiled and said, “It’s the same to me.”
Wan Shishi had nothing to say about that.
“As for food that I cannot accept… Actually, it’s all fine. I am not a picky eater. I think that the food of our Tibetan friends is all excellent.”
Alright then. No wonder he was a wilderness survival specialist. Not being a picky eater was a basic necessity for him. They had asked that question for nothing.
“What about Miss Feng?” Everyone turned to look at Feng Lanchu.
“I like the yogurt here the best. Especially when there’s a layer of sugar sprinkled on it, that makes it even better.”
Zhuo Ren raised his thumb while driving and said, “The yogurt we have at home is delicious.”
Everyone smiled happily when they heard that. The food they had eaten over the last few days had not been exceptional, and they were desperate to eat something else. When they thought of the sweet and sour yogurt, they could not help but drool. It was indeed true that women knew how to enjoy life.
“As for what food, I cannot accept…” Actually, there were quite a lot of them. Feng Lanchu thought to herself. However, her desire to live resulted in her not daring to say that. In the end, she chose only one, “Blood sausages.”
“Blood… blood sausages?” Everyone was stunned. This dish could be found in Taiwan, Yunnan, Guangdong, Hunan, and other places. They had all tasted it before when they recorded food variety shows or some other shows like that. The taste wasn’t that scary, was it?
“Er, it should be alright. I can accept that.
“So can I.”
Qin Zhuo and Li Yue felt relieved.
Feng Lanchu turned to look at everyone and said sincerely, “Let’s work hard at the game. No harm winning the game anyway.”
