Chapter 246 "Living Alone in the Wilderness"

The "Wilderness Alone Challenge" program that Little Rock wants to participate in has officially started filming last week.

The competition location for the first season was chosen in Alaska, close to the Arctic Circle, tens of kilometers away from the town, and surrounded by deserted areas.

Ten contestants build their own shelters in the wilderness and look for enough food. Whoever can survive alone until the end will win a prize of US$50.

In addition, the ten contestants did not receive any income.

Even the filming was done by themselves. The company only provided cameras, spare batteries, some necessary wilderness survival tools, satellite phones, etc.

Another rescue team is on call 24 hours a day and provides regular physical examinations to the participating guests. If the doctor feels that there is a problem and cannot continue to participate, they can only force their withdrawal.

in short.

The crew of this outdoor variety show really saves money. Except for the final bonus payment, there are no big expenses.

There is no need to wait for the entire "Wilderness Alone Challenge" variety show to be filmed before it is released. When the rescue team comes for physical examination, they will collect the content filmed by the contestants themselves, select some exciting content, and edit it to be broadcast every week.

If a contestant chooses not to take the photo, it will be regarded as a breach of contract according to the contract, and the opportunity to receive bonuses will be cancelled. If an outsider provides food, it will also be regarded as a breach of contract.

This variety show has been planned since last year and is relatively well prepared. The first episode will be piloted this Saturday.

If the broadcast volume is relatively high by then, Suri will consider planning more variety shows.

Compared with movies and TV series, this kind of program not only requires less investment, but is also more trouble-free. It is very suitable for killing time. If it is filmed well, it also has the opportunity to attract a large number of viewers to recharge.

The registration activity has ended long ago, and now the deal is done. It’s too late to say anything.

Little Rock said distressedly:

"You should really leave a half-million-dollar prize to your own kind like me. I know how to set traps for hunting. It's so hard to clean up cow dung. I still smell after taking two showers. I can't even pick up girls anymore." Girls ask me what I do for a living, and I don’t know how to answer them.”

Suri wanted to say that his singleness had nothing to do with shoveling cow dung. The main reason was that he was ugly and his personality was not cool enough.

but.

In order to prevent his cowboys from complaining, he shook his head and explained:

"Even if you participate, you may not be able to get the bonus. You live alone in the wilderness every day, and you can't even talk to anyone. It's uncomfortable to be hungry all day long. The psychological pressure is often worse than the physical pressure. There’s more pressure.”

Jiang Jiaya also said:

"And it's also very dangerous. Except for some ferocious wild animals, it may be too late to receive treatment if they are sick or injured. Every participating guest has signed an agreement. If it were me, I would rather make money by working than endure that kind of torture."

She could stand and talk without back pain.

Working as a life assistant for Suri, plus miscellaneous bonuses, I can earn no less than 30 US dollars a year, and I can travel around the world, eat and play with her for free, of course I think a bonus of 50 US dollars is just fine.

But for little Rock.

This amount of money is almost equal to his income from ten years of work. It is enough to buy three houses in Lanai Town or a nice apartment in downtown Honolulu.

I have never really suffered, so I just take it for granted that I can do it.

Therefore, Little Rock turned a deaf ear to their suggestions and continued to plead:
"Boss, if I spend a few months preparing, can you reserve a spot for me next time there is a show like this?" As a boss, you can't favor one thing over another.

After thinking about it, Su Rui said:

"Besides you, other people may also want to participate. If you give the quota directly to you, they will have objections to me. So otherwise, I will make an announcement and give you some time to prepare until the second season is filmed. Before that, there should be an internal selection, and whoever performs best at that time will be able to get a place to compete. This is only fair."

I have frequent contact with Little Rock and have a good relationship.

But it's hard to say that they have become good friends. This group of employees went out to pick up girls and drink, and never invited Su Rui. Their daily life circles were completely different, and it was difficult to talk together except for work-related matters.

Rather than giving the precious opportunity to compete directly to Little Rock and offending hundreds of other employees, it is of course better to let them compete fairly.

Considering that these Lanai Town residents all have stable incomes, and some of them are married and have children, their lives are not so stressful.

Suri doubts whether they can compete with some "lone wolf" guests who like to enjoy solitude and live alone in the wild.

In the early stages of the program, it may be just fine. Later on, you not only need to rely on willpower to support it, but also have enough luck to find prey to fill your belly.

After listening to this, Little Rock felt enchantingly confident about himself, nodded readily, and said with a smile:
"No problem, I will be fully prepared, those guys will never be able to defeat me..."

Suri didn't answer, changed the subject and asked him: "Where are you going to transport all the cow dung to, the septic tank?"

"Yes, we built a new septic tank last month, and now it is almost full. Because we have to take care of the tourists' feelings and avoid odors, we have never had the opportunity to clean the previous tanks. They have been composted and fermented, becoming natural Organic fertilizers are then sprayed on the harvested grassland using machines, which can prevent the soil fertility from declining."

Little Rock just finished speaking.

Jiang Jiaya suddenly realized:

"No wonder I saw a manure spreader in the purchasing catalog last time. At that time, I was still wondering what it was and why it spread manure everywhere."

Jiang Jiaya grew up in Chinatown, Los Angeles, so she didn’t know anything about the things used in the ranch.

Suri had never seen it before either, thinking that walking on the grass in the future would be the same as walking on cow dung.

What’s even more eye-catching is that many tourists also like to sit on the grass and have a picnic on a cloth.

It is difficult to be high-end and elegant when doing animal husbandry business.

Natural fertilizers are also used on vegetable and fruit farms. Vegetables and fruits grown with organic fertilizers can be sold at high prices.

Take spinach, for example. In Green Turtle Supermarket, 350 grams of Lanai Island organic spinach can be sold for US$3.49, and demand exceeds supply.

A 250-gram vegetable salad, including lettuce, purple cabbage, etc., can also be sold for about $4, and is very popular among middle-class families and wealthy people.

Suri usually ate vegetables grown on the island and didn't dare to think too much about it. After leaving Little Rock, he went to see the Kuroge Wagyu cattle being fattened.

This batch of Wagyu cattle are half-sized cattle previously purchased from Australia. They were a bit thin when they were first delivered. Recently, in addition to eating grass, they have been given a lot of additional grains, and their bodies have grown a circle or two.

Aunt Karna is currently feeding these hundreds of cows beer grains, which is the residue left after brewing beer.

The air is filled with the aroma of beer, but there is no alcohol content in these beer grains...
