The Civil Servant's Job is to Raise The Furries!-Chapter 204 - 203: Chinese Gourmet Mushroom

Not only the live-streaming cameras were attacked.

During today’s recording, each of the six guests had a personal filming camera, allowing fans to freely switch views and keep track of their favorite celebrities.

Fans watching Jia Yao’s exclusive live stream were admiring his stunning looks while working when suddenly a large brown object splattered onto the lens.

They felt as if they had been hit by the dung through their screens! They quickly turned off the live stream!

The live stream in Jia Yao’s room instantly lost a lot of online viewers.

The unfathomable variety show enigma, Jiang Mo, silently worked with a shovel. Although he wasn’t talkative, his actions were swift and smooth. It didn’t seem like his first time doing such dirty work; he was as skilled as the staff.

For employees who are serious and proactive, the boss, of course, should praise them, and Jiang Mo had been silent and had little screen time.

"Wow, Mr. Jiang is doing it fast and well!"

Xu Ying politely complimented a bit: "Have you trained for this before?"

Jiang Mo replied to the question: "When filming period dramas and playing rough characters, I’ve done similar work before, so I’m fairly skilled."

Jiang Mo was not only working but was meticulously composting, making it very convenient for others to use the fertilizer later.

He looked up and smiled: "Little Xu Station Chief, are you satisfied?"

Xu Ying could even see a hint of flattery in Jiang Mo’s expression.

She was more and more puzzled. This person donated money to the rescue station and worked hard, but for what?

"Satisfied, very satisfied."

After a group of people worked hard for two hours, the first task of the day was complete.

Five glamorous stars sat wilting at the entrance of the Desert Rescue Station, like cabbages battered by a desert storm.

Yao Yingzhe had already changed into a windbreaker, Ming Xueying’s post-apocalyptic combat boots had become truly "waste-material style," and Jia Yao’s silver-gray bangs were drooping on his forehead — looking like a mop licked by a camel.

Xu Ying hummed a song and walked over, eyes under her cowboy hat curving into crescents: "Now announcing the leaderboard!" She deliberately tapped the scoreboard with a shovel:

Jiang Mo: 20 points (composted a pyramid, praised by a camel)

Ye Jie: 15 points (received a camel’s friendship bonus)

Yao Yingzhe: 10 points (received sympathy points due to seniority)

Ming Xueying: 5 points (contributed memes through constant screaming)

Jia Yao: -5 points (additional penalty for dung attack on camera)

Seeing this result, Ming Xueying cheered herself in front of the camera: "It’s okay, even if the points aren’t enough, I’m not picky~" 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Jia Yao said with a lifeless expression: "I don’t think I need to eat lunch anymore. I might not have an appetite for the next three days."

Yao Yingzhe raised his hand tremblingly: "Station Chief Xu... next time, can we have something less gross?"

"Want an easier task?" Xu Ying’s eyes suddenly lit up, "Perfect! Tomorrow, you’ll trim the sou mao’s claws!"

She pulled out a tablet to play a video: a sou mao was shredding a metal bucket into fringes.

The whole team fell into a dead silence, only the sound of camels chewing cud was particularly clear at the filming site.

Bullet comments scrolled frantically:

[Wow, shouldn’t they sign a life and death agreement for recording this show?]

[But thinking about it, the celebrities are just recording a show and don’t need to do these things, while the rescue station workers often have to face these dangerous but necessary rescue tasks, really respect them!]

[Suddenly realizing the greatness of rescue workers...]

[Celebrities wail about shoveling poop, while rescue workers face beasts daily]

[Suggest giving the real rescue workers a drumstick!]

The show’s crew was somewhat humane, arranging for the celebrities to disinfect themselves in a temporary shower after shoveling camel dung.

The scent of disinfectant mixed with the hot desert wind, as Jia Yao stood outside the temporary shower, his hair was dripping. He sniffed his arm and immediately frowned: "This disinfectant smell..."

"Like being licked by a camel?" Ye Jie replied as she twisted her wet hair, water droplets falling from her fingers, staining the sand with dark spots, "But it’s better than eating lunch covered in dung smell."

Ming Xueying, having changed into new clothes provided by the crew, sat aside looking pale.

Her expensive post-apocalyptic combat boots had been sealed in a bag labeled "biohazard materials."

Ming Xueying was supposed to perform a fashion task to increase the exposure of this brand’s boots, and indeed, the exposure had hit the maximum.

Xu Ying, holding a megaphone, cheerfully said: "You all worked hard today, and I presume everyone is hungry, right?"

Before she finished speaking, the five people’s stomachs growled in protest almost simultaneously.

Yao Yingzhe’s rumbling was particularly loud, echoing a peculiar resonance in the vast desert.

[As expected of an actor and singer, even the hunger has rhythm!]

[Xiao Shu, so harsh, but why would the program group be so kind as to provide lunch directly?]

[Right, wasn’t there a difference in points? Use points to exchange for food and lodging, right?]

Ye Jie looked at Xu Ying expectantly: "Boss, what delicious food have you arranged for us for lunch?"

Xu Ying waved at everyone, showing a sympathetic smile: "Everyone, follow me to the show’s temporary kitchen!"

When the cafeteria door was pushed open, the imagined aroma of food did not hit them.

Twenty shiny empty trays were neatly arranged on the long table, reflecting a blinding white light.

Xu Ying stood behind the serving counter, playing with a gray-white mushroom in her hand.

"Welcome to the Xizhou Province special foraging segment!"

She whooshed open a hand-drawn map, and the mushroom spun a beautiful arc between her fingers, "Today, what we’re looking for is..."

Yao Yingzhe’s stomach made a long "grumble—" again.

"A Xizhou Province delicacy, the Chinese gourmet mushroom."

Xu Ying gently pinched the mushroom’s stem and lifted it up to the sunlight.

The camera zoomed in, showing the pale purple gills under the cap like delicate lace, faintly visible in the light.

"The Chinese gourmet mushroom, also known as the reed mushroom, is often found in the rotting areas where reeds grow."

"A type of mushroom discovered only in the northwest of China in recent years, a very rare and delicious large edible saprophytic fungus. Its wild fruiting bodies grow underground, vary in shape, and the largest single mushroom can weigh up to 1 kilogram."

Xu Ying’s fingers gently brushed past the gills, her voice unconsciously softening.

"Due to its special growth conditions, it only exists in Xizhou Province, and because of preservation and transportation limitations, it cannot be transported to other provinces. Last year, a Michelin three-star chef waited with two hundred thousand cash at the production site for two weeks..."

Xu Ying’s words lured out a group of foodies in the bullet comments.

[Transportation limitations... got it, buying a ticket to Xizhou Province!]

[Wait for me, front sisters, let’s form a mushroom-seeking travel group]
