Chapter 176 Being Cheated

There were several old men and women in modern clothes sitting in the rice shop. They were holding palm-leaf fans in their hands and sitting around a table, eating melon seeds, drinking tea and chatting.

The rice shop owner came from that group of people, and his coarse linen clothes made him look a bit out of place.

In order to protect the ancient town and to enhance the development of its tourism industry, the government has specially hired residents of the ancient town to live in the town with pay, and playing the role of NPC is their daily job.

Judging from the situation, today is the rice shop owner's working day.

The rice shop owner would not give out the clue so easily. He patted the rice bags on the cart, each of which was very solid, and said, "Young man, please help me move this cart of rice to the store."

A whole cart of rice!

Tang Qianshuo looked at the cart behind him and swallowed subconsciously, "Before, they only said to push the cart over, but didn't say to unload the goods."

The lady in the rice shop waved her palm-leaf fan and said to the person beside her with a smile: "Oh, the people in this program group are really nice. They specially arranged for these little stars to bring the rice that they want to sell recently, so we don't have to move it."

The lady who was speaking was the wife of the rice shop owner. Although she was quite old, the rice that was usually brought into the shop was carried by her and her husband together.

Their rice shop is not just a decorative rice shop. There is no supermarket in the ancient town, so neighbors buy their rice from them.

Now that she has the opportunity to find other people to help with the move, the aunt is naturally happy and at ease.

"Young people have plenty of energy to work."

"It's such a good thing. Next time when another production team comes, it will be our turn."

A few old men and women were drinking tea, chatting and laughing. They were sitting some distance away from the main entrance and spoke in low voices. Tang Qianshuo, who was standing at the entrance, could not hear what was going on inside at all.

"That's because the person who gave you the task didn't explain the rules clearly!" The rice shop owner didn't want to waste such a good opportunity, so he said confidently: "If you don't help me move in, I won't give you any clues."

The rice shop owner knew the rules of the game very well and knew that the word "clue" directly grasped the lifeblood of the little actor.

Just as the rice shop owner was secretly rejoicing, what Tang Qianshuo said the next second surprised him.

"Since you won't give me any clues, I'll just take this truckload of stuff back."

After Tang Qianshuo finished speaking, he grabbed the handlebars and prepared to go back the same way he came.

His idea was simple. Since he couldn't get any clues, and all the things in the car were game props, he had to transport them back so that the next person could continue the task.

“Hey hey hey!”

The rice shop owner walked up to stop Tang Qianshuo and asked, "What's wrong with this young man? He is so rude!" There is no reason to send back something that has already been sent to you.

It seems that I can only use my last trump card. "Young man, I am too old to move so many things. If you move them in, I will not only give you the clue, but also let the people over there give you one more!"

Many production crews have come to the ancient town to shoot variety shows, and he has used this routine many times, and it works every time.

He first tricked the guests into moving the rice bags in, and then he was not responsible for what happened afterwards.

Tang Qianshuo stopped and thought to himself, if he got one more piece for free, he could still make an extra profit even if he sold it at cost price.

Good value!

He only had time to think about whether the price was right, fearing that the rice shop owner would go back on his word, so he grinned and agreed, "Deal, where do you want to move all this rice to?"

This cartload of rice almost made Tang Qianshuo collapse from exhaustion. His muscles were sore and his calves were shaking.

The rice shop owner was satisfied and said, "The clue is the folding fan, go quickly." He left a word, returned to the shop indifferently without looking back, and continued to drink tea and chat with a group of old friends.

It was much easier to pull an empty truck, and I was very motivated at the moment, so it only took me five minutes to get back.

As soon as he returned to the mission point, he saw the stall owner walking out of the alley with another cart behind him. The person pushing the cart was completely blocked by the cart. Tang Qianshuo looked around suspiciously, but still didn't see anyone.

It was not until the cart turned a corner that Tang Qianshuo saw the person. It was Brother Qiao!

Look at his movements again. They are both carrying a cart of things, but Tang Qianshuo is pulling the cart with his body at the front, while Qiao Zhijing is at the back of the cart and is pushing the cart.

Damn, pushing should be easier than pulling, right?

Tang Qianshuo couldn't help but slap his head, what a stupid head!

Qiao Zhijing was busy with his mission and his attention was not on Tang Qianshuo at all. He ran quickly towards his target.

After he could no longer see Qiao Zhijing, Tang Qianshuo came to the stall owner and asked, "Boss, how much is this folding fan?"

Already knowing what the clue was, he simply asked about the price and calculated how many he could afford.

"Fifty cents a handful."

"Give me ten!" Tang Qianshuo took out all the money he had and went all in to buy all the folding fans he could.

"Okay!"

While the stall owner was packing up, Tang Qianshuo mentioned what the rice shop owner had just said, "Just now the rice shop owner asked you to give me a folding fan."

The stall owner paused while packing the food and threatened: "There is no such thing. You must have been cheated by him."

We are all neighbors, and they all know the rice shop owner's tricks.

"But... this is what the rice shop owner promised. I moved all his rice into the store." Having said this, Tang Qianshuo had a vague guess in his mind that the rice shop owner might have deliberately lied to him with such words just to get him to help move the things in.

I am so stupid!

Tang Qianshuo's eyes were red and he bit his lower lip. Tears were circling in his eyes and hanging in the corners of his eyes, about to fall.

A whole cart of rice, God knows how difficult it was for him!

[Hug Tangtang!] 】

[The rice shop owner is so heartless. Tangtang was almost exhausted after moving everything. 】

[Avoid lightning.] 】

[If I wasn't afraid of the bad influence on Tangtang, I would definitely cyberbully this rice shop owner. Not only did he take advantage of his seniority, but he also used the convenience of the program to seek personal gain. 】

[Tangtang is so aggrieved that she is about to cry, I feel so sorry! 】

The stall owner was not a heartless person, "This..." After weighing the pros and cons again and again, he looked at the PD behind Tang Qianshuo, and when he saw him nod, he said, "Okay, okay, seeing that you've worked so hard, I'll give you one."

A folding fan costs fifty cents. As long as he quotes the price according to the cost, he can make a guaranteed profit of fifty cents!

"Boss, you are so kind!" Tang Qianshuo said excitedly, quickly wiping away the tears from the corners of his eyes. Suddenly, he felt less sad. Seeing the boss pick up the folding fan on the stall, he said inexplicably: "Boss, you are so kind, can you give me another folding fan?"

“Please!”

Tang Qianshuo acted coquettishly towards the stall owner, blinking his big moist eyes. His cute and handsome face always makes people feel soft-hearted.

The stall owner agreed in her heart, but she had no say in such matters, so she looked again at the PD following Tang Qianshuo.
