Chapter 16: The First Stop, Sokcho
"Eh~what...", seeing that the travel expenses were reduced to only 30,000 yuan, Xu Canhao couldn't help but turn around and complain to the sea, and took off the line hat on his head and crumpled it in his hand for the effect. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Originally, this simple place-name quiz session was only shown to the audience as a travel route and popularity. It's good now, because of the three mistakes of Chu Ding and Lee so-geun--- it is not ruled out that it is for the effect of the show, anyway, everyone still has the expected blood sausage and heart and lungs (snacks) of Gangwon Province and floated away with the sea breeze.
"Haha... How, how? Isn't it a pity that you can't eat souvenirs? Jiang Hudong laughed when he saw Xu Canhao's reaction, and grabbed him.
Xu Canhao powerlessly let Jiang Fatzi pull him back into the team, and muttered in a voice as low as a gnat in the process: "Brother ate the lunch box I brought, but I didn't eat it, how to do the show when I'm hungry?" You're used to it..."
Only Jiang Hudong and Kim Jong-min vaguely heard this, and the way the two of them forced their laughter would not arouse any suspicion, but Jiang Hudong, who knew the truth about Xu Canhao's visit to the show, was a little uncomfortable, and his face was swollen and red. (Jiang Hudong invited Xu Canhao on the grounds that this issue was a special travel feature and relaxed operating conditions.) Xu Canhao agreed to this issue for publicity reasons and because he wanted to be easy to shoot. )
"Alas, failure is failure. The last 10,000 yuan and cold noodles with blood sausage. Jiang Hudong, as a big brother, had to rely on the program team for the sake of his younger brothers, and stared at Luo PD with wide eyes in a firm tone, trying to use the momentum of Party B (natural disadvantage) to force the other party to agree.
"yes, this must be eaten." Others are also laughing and "dead skinned", hoping to seek to exalt the noble hand with public wishes.
Maybe it was because everyone worked hard for the show and the effect, or maybe it was because of Xu Canhao, Luo PD finally agreed to add blood sausage, but deleted the request for cold noodles.
"Ah~ That's how it should be. If you get here, you won't eat the local specialties and leave..."Li Xiugen, a small man who has been accustomed to the auxiliary MC position for a long time, drove the process as usual, echoing PD's decision to tell the audience in words. However, when he, the person who dropped the chain not long ago, seemed to be poking at the pain of the person next to him. Facing Jiang Hudong's forced gaze and Xu Canhao's cold face, he decisively lowered his momentum and voice, and said, "Could it be... Is it because I'm not late? Ouch, sorry. Li Xiugen's weak tone and dodging and careful comforting actions after the sudden change instantly shattered the two icebergs, causing everyone to laugh again and again.
"Alright, get ready for the next challenge." Luo PD shouted.
"Brother, let's replace it." Xu Canhao took advantage of the gap in the preparation of the PD and came to Li Xiugen's side from behind everyone.
Li Xiugen didn't think much about it, thinking that he was just letting the loser stand at the end of the team like before. And Xu Canhao actually wants to remind his teammates who answer in the middle position, so that his "whisper" can be more easily transmitted to both sides. Things were just as he thought, and when Yin Zhiyuan helped him because of the situation that he couldn't react to, everyone passed the test smoothly and got the only remaining 10,000 yuan of funds and blood sausage soup for breakfast.
“cut。”
"Good work, ready to move on to the next one." With the announcement of the scene notes and the assistant director, the staff began to quickly pack up the equipment and other items, and the MC and the guests also relaxed, shrinking back and complaining that the weather in spring was still as cold as winter.
"Your car is there, and the rest of the journey depends on it, so make good use of it." When Xu Canhao and the members of 21 casually chatted and walked out of the beach, Luo Yingshi stood not far away with a hot water kettle and said to them with a smile, and at the same time swept to a conspicuous minivan with a program label outside the parking lot with that look of indifference.
"Ah~ No, that car doesn't look as tall as me, and the wheels are not as big as Brother Hudong's belly, can you sit down a few of us?" MC Meng was dumbfounded, and his first reaction was to complain loudly to the ruthless Luo PD.
Jiang Hudong, who originally agreed with this, heard Dream teasing himself, and forced Monkey Dream to look at Monkey Dream with an expression that didn't know whether to laugh or get angry, forcing him to retreat.
Not to mention the routine "complaints" of these MCs, Xu Canhao silently walked around the car with them on the side, and after making up his mind, a different voice burst out: "Let me drive." ”
"Ah, there are a few of us in this car, maybe we can't even climb up the dirt slope?" Li Xiugen smiled and persuaded Xu Canhao not to do porcelain work.
"Have you ever driven a car like this? It's not very easy to drive. Jiang Hudong finally said seriously.
"Trust me, I've driven this car a few times." Xu Canhao tried his best to make himself look sincere, but in fact, he didn't want to squeeze in the back seat, not to mention that everyone here was bloated, and there was a big man who took up space. Besides, he didn't think that anyone here was more familiar with how to handle the loaf than himself, and in his previous life he had been delivering goods everywhere in it.
"No, how can you let a guest do this kind of thing for the first time." Seeing that Jiang Hudong seemed to agree, Kim Jong-min hurriedly stepped forward and crossed the two of them.
"yes. Anyway, if this car encounters an uphill road, do we all have to get down? Maybe it's up to us to push it up. Hehe~" Li Xiugen looked at the small bread circle.
"Haha, that's interesting. But can so many of us really sit down? MC Meng smiled and picked up Li Xiugen's joke, and took the lead in getting into the car and taking a seat.
"I'll do it." Xu Canhao didn't give anyone a chance to say anything at all, he had already got the car keys from the program team and opened the car door.
"Really?" Kim Jongmin, Kang Ho-dong, and Lee Seung-gi looked at the undoubted Seo Chan-ho with some concern.
"Please, don't worry, I'm a good driver who has a five-year record of no violations, both at home and abroad. I wouldn't be this cutie racing. Xu Canhao smiled and narrowed his eyes to reassure everyone.
"What?!"
"Ah, what kind of racing..."
"Hehe, just kidding. Feel relieved. Xu Canhao looked at Luo Yingshi in front of the car again, just handed him a serious look, nodded, and said hello.
"Forget it, let's go! No, let's carry a few of us. Jiang Hudong put an end to the controversy over the position of the driver, shouting for everyone to get in the car, and he himself sat in the passenger seat (is there any other place to sit?). ――#)。 "If you're tired of driving, tell my brother." After Jiang Hudong got into the car, he fastened his seat belt and said to Xu Canhao, who was looking at the dashboard.
"Ah, this car is a manual transmission! It's true... Is it really okay? Li Xiugen, who was drilling into the car, saw the gear in front of the car, and the shouting once again attracted the others to follow suit.
"In the U.S., I've been driving this. Don't worry about it, do you know how many times I drove it to deliver when I was doing public welfare? I promise that everyone can be delivered safely~" Xu Canhao felt that he was about to get impatient with the explanation, and started the car as soon as he twisted the key, so frightened that Kim Jongmin, who had not yet gotten into the car, and a few people who did not sit down screamed again and again. "Let's go!" After tossing for a while, after the program team checked a few on-board cameras for the last time, only to hear Xu Canhao shout, the little bread finally got on the road in all directions, and drove out of the seaside parking lot with the car leading the way.
"Ah~ In this way, won't the police stop us on the road? You see they're crowded. This is how crucian carp defend themselves in groups of fish that come together together. Jiang Hudong smiled, and turned around with difficulty to look at the members who were about to squeeze into two groups.
"Wow~ It's a good drive." Li Xiugen, who was sitting in the second row, sighed.
"You... Chan-ho: Have you really driven it many times? Yin Zhiyuan pulled the back of the car, leaned forward and asked Xu Canhao, who was driving seriously.
Xu Canhao just glanced at the rearview mirror and didn't answer.
"Anyway, it's warm." Lee Seung Gi, who was squeezed in the middle of the last row, said with a smile and comforted himself. The busy and aggressive appearance couldn't help but laugh at the brothers on both sides, and simply used him as a cushion, one and a half leaning on him.
"That's Seoraksan Mountain. Wow~ There's still beautiful snow. Jiang Hudong pointed to the majestic mountains that seemed to stand not far away outside the window and sighed. But what are the specialties of the village of Abari that we are waiting for? Jiang Hudong, who would be involved in eating after a few words, asked.
"Cold noodles." Kim C, the eldest brother who was also born in Gangwon-do, blurted out.
"Squid sausage." MC Meng rushed to say.
"Ah~ I can't eat it." Listening to the tempting food reported in his ears, Xu Canhao was annoyed by the previous losses because of the game, as well as the funds. The dissatisfied tone made the members of 21 laugh, and Li Xiugen even laughed and said sorry. Xu Canhao naturally didn't dare to take it, so he had to keep nodding and nodding back to Brother Xiugen in the rearview mirror. The funny appearance of the two made Jiang Hudong's signature laughter constantly impact the eardrums of everyone in the small space.
More than 20 minutes later, Lee Seung-gi, who is half a local because his mother's hometown is here, told everyone that the bread had entered the beautiful and beautiful city of Sokcho.
"Is the autumn fairy tale here, Sokcho?" Jiang Hudong asked.
"Nae, the board boat that appeared in it is still there, remember that people made the transition by that." Lee Seung Gi, who temporarily started acting as a tour guide, replied.
"Board boats? What is that? "Jiang Hudong.
"Not motivated. A buoyant boat pulled by rope and made of wooden planks. "This time it was Xu Canhao who grabbed the white, although he had never seen the board boat here, but as the name suggests, he could guess it.
"Yes, it's like a boat, because it moves in the water. That one also traveled in an autumn fairy tale. Lee added.
"Oh? We're not coming soon. It was written on the sign just now...", Li Xiugen asked, pointing to the road sign outside the window.
"There is still a little distance, about ten minutes to Sokcho City." The tour guide Shengji is patiently answering the questions of the brothers one by one.
**********************************************************************
"Is this it? Is it there? Xu Canhao drove into the alleys of the village with the front car of the program team, stopping on a road lined with seafood and restaurants. I really like to eat seafood, nae. Whether it's in Japan or in Japan, the most frequented and most desirable thing is fresh seafood, and I eat a lot of it every time. Everyone got out of the car in turn, and they heard Driver Xu chattering excitedly there, looking around at the seafood shop on the street.
"Before we eat, we are here today to introduce you to the characteristics of Arbari. From here, walk 10 meters ahead and you will see the ferry crossing of the boardboat. Luo Yingshi stood in front of everyone, off-camera, announcing the routine task before breakfast.
"Isn't it cooking at the same time? Or finish eating first..."Jiang Hudong seemed hungry again. Also, it is impossible to satisfy his huge stomach with a few steamed rice.
"Then let's go, we have to finish it quickly, and we have to eat it quickly." Seo Chan-ho grabbed Kim Jong-min's shoulders and left the others behind.
"Haha~ This guy really likes to eat, what to eat with him and listen to what he says how to do it and what ingredients to use, it's very interesting, and the atmosphere at the dinner table is controlled by him." Jiang Hudong and Xu Canhao had eaten at the same table twice, but they gave him a deep impression, whether it was drinking or understanding of eating, the two were surprisingly compatible.
"Hehe, it's good for you to eat happily with you anyway, right?" Li Xiugen followed Jiang Zhuangshi and said with a smile.
"There, that's there! Autumn fairy tales were filmed there. Turning the corner, everyone saw a small bay not far away, and Lee Seung Gi picked up his identity as a tour guide again to explain to everyone.
Along the streets, there are sporadic legacies about the heart-wrenching soap opera--- such as the Wily Kyo supermarket, broken TV drama posters plastered on roadside telephone posts, billboards of famous scenic spots under cross-sea bridges, and advertisements for renting vintage bicycles that evoke memories by starring in them. Autumn fairy tales, which were popular all over the country and still leave many memories for many old people and locals, have been carved everywhere. The small village has been living here by relying on this "memory heritage" and the seafood that it relies on every day, attracting many tourists to experience the flavor, customs and sea life in the TV series every year.
"Oh~ This is where Shengji went to school to see his mother go back and forth when he was a child? Is there really no other way to get there? Everyone came to the ferry, looked at a few board boats that relied on ropes to and from the sea quickly and sighed, only the childlike Yin Chuding let a bicycle fixed on the side of the bridge pier be attracted, and pedaled there to play, hot and body, pedaling happily.
"The current residents are just relying on this past to get by, every day. This is the most convenient and fast way. Luo PD explained to everyone.
"Ah~ Is that so?" Jiang Hudong.
"Otherwise, you'll have to drive around the bridge in a big circle." Kim C pointed to the bridge above the heads of the people and said.
"It's only 200 yuan per person here, take this board boat. If it's a single person... With fewer people, it is more cost-effective than driving yourself. After Sokcho's half-son, Lee Seung-gi, returned to his childhood memories, he was in a state of high spirits, telling his brothers about the local situation he knew.
"It's grilled seafood. So let's just go with a few people, and the rest stay here to introduce the famous specialty sausages. "Jiang Hudong.
"PD didn't say that the price on both sides was the same, but our purpose was mainly to introduce." Kim c.
"Hmm... So how about we choose what we want to eat? Yin Chuding squeezed forward and proposed.
"I'm going to eat the abari (sausage)." Hearing what Zhiyuan said, MC Meng turned around and left the ferry without hesitation, and waited for a few people not far away to discuss and make a decision.
Several big brothers in Team 21 didn't expect Dream to make a choice so resolutely and easily, and Jin C couldn't help shouting at Dream about how tempting and delicious the barbecue seafood was.
"I'm going to eat barbecue seafood. I haven't been here for a long time. Lee Seung Gi said with his hands in his pockets, and his footsteps gradually moved towards the ferry.
"What about Chan-ho? What to eat. Jiang Hudong asked the guest who didn't squeak for a long time.
"Ah~ I'm casual, I just want to hurry, hurry!" Xu Canhao frowned, pretending to be very impatient and waving his hand at Jiang Zhuangshi, his head and face tilted towards the bay.
"Hehe, then Jin C wants to eat seafood... What about Jongmin? Jiang Hudong asked when he saw Kim Jong-min and Kim C and Lee Seung-gi standing together to eat seafood.
"Me? Hehe, I'm casual, anything. Kim Jong-min said with a smile.
"Brother, you can't do this in the show." Xu Chanhao said to Kim Jong-min who was beside him in ventriloquism, but always flashed in the camera.
"Eh~ Brother should be confident, you have to have your own opinions. Sausage or seafood, huh? Hurriedly Nae Seung-gi also noticed it, and deliberately let go of half of his body to expose Kim Jong-min to the camera, loudly announcing his existence, and also throwing him a topic that can be followed.
"Hehe, do you say it confidently? But I can eat anything. Why don't I follow my two younger brothers? Kim Jongmin's temperament is not unique, and there are many artists who don't like to fight, especially when recording, if there are many guests and members, he is willing to be a green leaf foil, and he has no complaints for many years. The same is true for the gold C in the team. So they are also very kind in private, and they have made a lot of good karma, at least they have never attracted hatred.
"What, I said that my brother took care of me today, it's my first time, and it's the first time I've come to Sokcho. It should be me following you, brother, and our native Shengji~" Xu Canhao suddenly raised his voice and said, stretched his arms and pulled Kim Jong-min and 21, who were a little taller than him, into the crook of his arm, and looked at the frightened two with a smile left and right.
"Yikes! Ha ha... Obviously, he just shouted that he wanted to eat seafood, why did he use the two of them as an excuse. Well, the guide Jin C and Li who are familiar with seafood will take them there, and we will go to Abari for sausage soup. See you in a moment? Jiang Hudong set the tone for the temporary detachment, but suddenly grabbed Lee Seung-gi, who was about to jump up before the board boat was completely stopped. Seunggi, I'm going to bring some back for my brother, and I'll leave you sausages too, huh? ”
"Got it, got it." Lee Seung-gi smiled helplessly, broke the strong man's big hand clamp, and slipped onto the boat.
"Mr. Jin, if you want to bring it back to us, you must bring it back!" Jiang Hudong pulled the handrail of the board boat and told him again, but he was dragged back by his teammates shouting danger behind him, and saw the board boat slide out for a distance in an instant. "Chanhao, you must remember to bring grilled seafood to your brother, you must! Can't forget! Don't finish eating! Grilled seafood, please! ……”
The sea breeze in the bay was blowing very fast, rumbling in his ears, so that Jiang Hudong's voice could only be heard intermittently no matter how loud it was.
Xu Chanhao and Kim Jong-min responded to Jiang Hudong's request with a smile and a muffled voice, and let him not give up, like a fishing village lady with endless worries shouting and telling her husband to sail away, calling wave after wave at the ferry. Later, I vaguely heard the voice of Hatsu Ding joining in, and the four people on the boat just buried their heads in helping to pull the new and fun ferry boat with iron hooks, regardless of anything else.
