'Even the cameraman looked nervous. The screen was shaking. Guess his hands were shaking too.'
'Big Goose FTW. Still impressed that Hanson could move that fast.'
The viewers started bringing up Hanson's glorious past in the comment section. He used to be in the special forces and contributed a lot to the army. Later, he started a business and became famous. The guy was a legend, but now he was chased by some geese. It was jarring, and his image changed in the hearts of many.
Their first mission ended in failure. Vania frowned at the card. "So, we'll have to go with the second dish."
There was only one word for the second dish: tomato. "Are we supposed to eat it raw?" she asked. "Could have made scrambled eggs with tomato. Why did they split these two ingredients up?"
Hanson was still shuddering from the earlier shock. Coldly, he said, "Maybe they ran out of ideas." So they came up with something stupid.
"True." She nodded and went to the next place indicated on the map. Hanson tagged along. There was another lady waiting for them there.
Vania greeted her as usual, and then she asked, "Are we collecting the ingredients ourselves this time as well?"
What happened earlier shocked her. I just hope the tomatoes aren't in the same place as the geese. Everyone rears geese in this village. It's possible.
Like the last lady, this one was also all smiles and polite. She quickly answered, "No. I've had them prepared for you." She asked the couple to sit down while she went to get the ingredients for them.
Vania was relieved to hear that. They pranked us once. Can't do it twice. Besides, how can they pull a fast one with tomatoes? She told herself that, but when the lady came back out with the tomatoes, she was petrified.
"They're green! They're not ripe!" Green tomatoes aren't ripe. How are we supposed to eat these? This is another failure.
The lady smiled innocently. "This is the best one we have. Most of the flowers on the trees have just bloomed and haven't even borne fruit yet."
They just bloomed? I can't believe the production team did this. Fine. Fine. "Thank you, miss." What else could she say?
"You're welcome. Do come again." She sent the couple off on their merry way.
I'd rather not. She held the only green tomato they had. "We failed again, honey." We can't eat this.
An annoyed Hanson took the mission card from her. "Let me see our third ingredient."
If they're going to pull another prank on us, I'm going to fire the director and rewrite the script. He was the investor, and that was his prerogative.
Their third ingredient was potatoes.
"Let's go." Vania wasn't even looking forward to the next one.
