Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable
Chapter 1306 - 1215: Changing Lives 8
After a busy morning, if it weren’t for the fact that they got a lot of things yesterday, they would have been hungry early morning. Wenren Shuangshuang had already calmed down along the way, cooked some porridge, and stir-fried a dish for a simple meal.
Because Xi Shuang got into trouble, he didn’t dare to be picky about the simple meal. After eating, he even took the initiative to help wash the dishes. At this time, the person in charge came to inform them of today’s second task: helping the local herders herd sheep.
This task is a long-term one, lasting for a month. The participating stars are required to completely master the skills of herding sheep within this month and become as proficient as the seasoned herders.
Of course, this process might only be edited down to one or two hours for the final cut, but the filming time is quite long. The most exciting footage will be selected and edited for the show.
This has always been Zhang Huijuan’s habit. Her variety show filming is always very time-consuming, with meticulousness in the process, which is why the final product is of such high quality and so appealing.
The grasslands are vast, and when herders oversee the flocks, they are accustomed to riding horses back and forth, with the help of sheepdogs, to maintain order among the sheep.
The first thing Wenren Shuangshuang and others had to do was learn how to ride a horse, navigating the sheep like the herders. There are many equestrian instructors and various safety measures in place to ensure no one gets hurt.
Wenren Shuangshuang smoothly mounted the horse, gently squeezed the horse’s side with her legs, and the chestnut horse obediently began to run. After a bit of practice, she was riding properly.
This scene amazed the equestrian coach teaching Wenren Shuangshuang: "Teacher Wenren, have you learned horse riding before?"
Wenren Shuangshuang lovingly stroked the mane of the red horse and said with a smile, "I learned horse riding before when I was filming as a female general with many battle scenes. I never thought I’d actually use it now."
The equestrian coach looked respectful, noting that many actors who have to perform in horse-riding scenes in movies don’t put in the effort to learn riding well, just for the sake of authenticity in filming.
Since Wenren Shuangshuang already knew how to ride a horse, there weren’t many film-worthy moments to capture while learning horseback riding.
Zhang Huijuan was already used to it, and simply let Wenren Shuangshuang do her own thing freely while she focused on filming others.
Wenren Shuangshuang was the only one who knew how to ride, making it impossible to continue filming the herding scenes, so they had to wait until the others learned to ride before continuing.
Not riding for a while, Wenren Shuangshuang joyfully went for a few laps on the horse to her heart’s content, then thought about what to do to pass the time.
Looking at the vast stretch of grassland in front of her, Wenren Shuangshuang finally thought of something to do. She sat down, plucked a bunch of grass, and began crafting with it.
However, Wenren Shuangshuang didn’t make small things like grasshoppers or dragonflies. Her fingers quickly worked the grass roots, forming a half-meter square grass-woven small villa in her hands.
When Wenren Shuangshuang finished weaving a villa out of grass, it was already completely dark. She had been very quiet today, so there weren’t many camera shots of her, just sporadic records of her grass weaving progress. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
Wenren Shuangshuang didn’t mind at all. She no longer cared for anything from the program, wishing only to not be targeted, resulting in a somewhat serene sense of detachment.
What Wenren Shuangshuang didn’t expect was that her quiet demeanor actually attracted a large group of fans.
A group of people who appreciated quietness opened her live video feed, watching it occasionally while working, finding the sight of her quietly doing grass weaving peaceful and soothing.
Wenren Shuangshuang’s grass villa was completed by evening, crafted exquisitely, sparking a wave of discussions online.
"I find this girl can do everything, cooking, crafting grass art, horse riding, and work. I wonder if there’s anything she can’t do."
"What will the girl cook tonight, I wonder? I now especially like watching her cook, her moves are fluid and pleasing, and everything she does looks good on her."
"I hope the helper Xi Shuang won’t cause trouble for the girl this time, no matter what’s eaten."
"I don’t understand why they have to involve someone like Xi Shuang, who’s of no help at all but needs others to tend to him. Is it that his background is really too strong to offend?"
Zhang Huijuan was continuously observing the audience reactions online, to decide on the focus for these star guests based on their feedback.
Of them, Wenren Shuangshuang and Wang Hanshao were the most popular. Wang Hanshao had a gentle disposition, while Wenren Shuangshuang was straightforward and consistent inside and out.
Although such a personality inevitably has its detractors, at least those who like her are akin to her character, not turning into anti-fans.
The dinner was a piece of lamb for everyone. Wenren Shuangshuang picked some vegetables from the garden, skewered them with the lamb, and made a barbecue.
After three days of continuous learning, everyone could finally maneuver freely on horseback, directing the horse to move forward rather than being thrown off onto the ground.
During these three days, Wenren Shuangshuang continued crafting grass weavings, completing three grass-woven villas, each more exquisite and complex than the last.
After completing horseback riding training, everyone began tentatively participating in herding activities. Riding horses and chasing after sheep was far from the beautiful images and videos found online.
The sheep didn’t obey, especially without a leading sheep to guide them, making them even less cooperative. Wenren Shuangshuang felt frustration for the first time.
Despite riding until exhaustion, the sheep remained unyielding. Thankfully, several sheepdogs were incredibly helpful, running back and forth to keep the herd from completely dispersing.
After several days of herding, the person in charge announced a reward for their good performance, allowing a day off tomorrow to visit the marketplace.
This kind of marketplace is now rare, opening in fixed intervals each month, where villagers from near and far gather to purchase items, much like a large market.
Being their first time at the market, everyone was genuinely excited, especially young master Xi Shuang, who started pestering Wenren Shuangshuang early about what the market might be like, having never been there himself.
Wenren Shuangshuang wanted nothing more than to cover her head with a blanket to block out his chatter. However, she also made plans herself, intending to sell her three distinctive, grass-woven villas.
After a night passed, early the next morning, Wenren Shuangshuang went to earn breakfast for the day. Fortunately, the task for that morning was still milking cows.
This time, Wenren Shuangshuang learned her lesson and didn’t bring Xi Shuang along, preferring to go by herself, ensuring the milk she gathered wasn’t consumed prematurely.
