Transmigrating into the pretentious, scandal-ridden cannon fodder female supporting character in a book who is constantly told by netizens to get out of the entertainment industry, Qiao Yiyi binds ...
"Uncle, how did you get this?"
Qiao Yiyi was so excited that she started stuttering.
The uncle didn't answer her question directly. Instead, he still held up the gold coin and asked them with a smile, "How about it? Are you willing to be my assistant?"
"willing!"
They were just worrying about how to make money, but in the blink of an eye they found a way to make money. Although the money was not much, for them who were "penniless", every penny counted.
Qiao Yiyi nodded frantically and pulled Zong Chang to ask him to say yes quickly.
The uncle then gave Qiao Yiyi two Beishi coins, which amounted to a hundred yuan in advance, and asked her and Zong Chang to wait for him at this place at four o'clock tomorrow morning.
"So early?"
Qiao Yiyi was surprised. This was the time when she usually slept soundly. The uncle asked them to arrive at four o'clock, and it would take at least half an hour to walk from where they set up the tent to here. In other words, they would have to get up at around three o'clock in the morning tomorrow.
"What's wrong? Can't you get up?" The uncle seemed to see what they were thinking. He was right. Most young people nowadays like to stay in bed. It is indeed a bit difficult for them to get up so early.
"We usually go fishing at three or four in the morning, sometimes even earlier. If you can't get up..."
"I can get up!"
Qiao Yiyi immediately interrupted the uncle and promised him solemnly: "We will be waiting for you here at 4 o'clock tomorrow morning!"
"Okay." After getting their promise, the uncle got on his motorized tricycle and left with satisfaction.
Qiao Yiyi and Zong Chang were very happy after getting a hundred Beishi coins and a big, fat, white fish.
It was almost noon, so they decided to send the fish back to reunite with everyone, have lunch and take a nap before exploring the island.
But before going back, they decided to go back to the banana and mango trees to pick some fruits to take back.
Before the uncle left, Qiao Yiyi tried to ask the uncle if he could lend them two baskets to carry things. The uncle agreed very readily and not only gave them the baskets directly, but also gave them a few fishing nets.
Now they don’t have to dig out fish and shrimps one by one under the rocks, they can directly use fishing nets to catch fish in the sea.
The two followed the route they remembered back to the place full of fruit trees, picked two large baskets of fruit, and carried them to the base breathlessly.
Suddenly I heard girls complaining, and they seemed to be members of the "Fairy Ministry of Foreign Affairs".
"What the hell is this place? Why haven't we gotten out after walking for so long?"
"There are so many mosquitoes! My legs have been bitten in several places..."
"I told you not to come out, but you insisted on coming out. Now you're lost."
"Wow, wow, wow—I want to go home. I'm so tired and don't want to leave."
"Please, everyone, hold on a little longer, and we can go back."
Qiao Yiyi recognized the last voice, it was Chi Wei.
"But you've told me to hold on so many times, and we haven't even left here yet! I'm so hungry, what are we eating today?"
Chi Wei: "We are running out of money. We have to eat what's in the supply box today."
The girl muttered, "Don't we still have more than 200 yuan?"
Chi Wei: “…”
She is almost mad. No matter how much money you have, it will be gone soon if you keep eating like this.
But on the surface, he still tried to persuade her kindly: "During this special period, you have to bear with it for a while. When we make money, we will buy you some fruit."
"But you keep talking about making money, and your plan is so long, yet you haven't made a penny yet."
There was a complaint in his tone.
In this hot and humid forest full of insects and ants, the situation is about to reach a critical point.
Chi Wei suppressed her inner anger and continued to move forward.
After walking a few steps, they ran into Qiao Yiyi head-on.
Then I saw Qiao Yiyi’s two large baskets of bananas and mangoes.
Several girls' eyes quickly lit up, and they didn't bother to complain about their captain.
One of the female artists asked Qiao Yiyi: "Where did you get so many fruits?"
Qiao Yiyi couldn't free her hands, so she just nudged her chin and told them, "It's in the tree."
The girl looked up and saw a tree full of bananas and mangoes. She exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, we have something to eat!"
But in a moment, she was worried about not being able to climb the tree.
Their cameraman reminded them: "These are fruit trees in Zone 5. You can't just pick their fruit."
"What?" One of the girls seemed to have heard some shocking news. "So we can only watch helplessly?"
The cameraman nodded with difficulty: "It's like this..."
A group of people: "..."
Since they couldn't climb the tree and couldn't pick other people's fruits, the members of the Fairy Group set their sights on the two large baskets of fruits of Qiao Yiyi and Zong Chang.
They encouraged Chi Wei to negotiate with Qiao Yiyi and Zong Chang.
Chi Wei was a little reluctant: "Why me?"
Except for the other three girls Pei Zhen thought were very united at this moment: "Because you are our captain."
Chi Wei: “…”
She was furious.
These people didn't realize that they were the team leader when they were working, but when they ordered her around, they thought she was the team leader.
But at this moment, she was under the camera and couldn't get angry, so she had to go to Qiao Yiyi to ask if she could give them some fruit. She felt that this begging feeling was a bit embarrassing.
Qiao Yiyi didn't want to take advantage of the situation, but they were short of supplies and everyone was in competition, so she said that she could give them both baskets of fruit, but they had to buy them with money.
You still have to spend money...
Chi Wei didn't expect Qiao Yiyi to talk about money with her, but after thinking about it, there didn't seem to be anything wrong with exchanging money and goods, so she asked her, "How much?"
Qiao Yiyi put the fruit basket on the ground, held up a finger and said, "No more, no less, one hundred lion coins."
"One hundred lion coins?" Chi Wei's eyes widened. "So expensive!"
Her fans began to complain in the live broadcast room——
[One hundred lion coins, why doesn't Qiao Yiyi go and grab it? ]
[I think she is clearly taking advantage of the situation! ]
[You think you're so great just because you can climb trees? How stingy!]
Chi Wei forced a smile and played the emotional card with Qiao Yiyi: "Sister Yiyi, we are from the same company. Can you give me a discount for the sake of being fellow sisters?"
Qiao Yiyi thought about it and agreed, so she said generously, "Then I'll give you a 20% discount, 80 yuan."
"But eighty yuan is a bit expensive..." Chi Wei looked embarrassed, "Sister Yiyi, can you make it a little cheaper? We don't have much money on hand."
Qiao Yiyi heard that they didn't have much money and could understand their feelings, so she asked again, "What about fifty?"
Chi Wei: "Fifty is a bit expensive..."
Qiao Yiyi was speechless: "It can't be any lower. If it's any lower, I won't sell it."
As soon as Chi Wei's teammates heard that Qiao Yiyi was not going to sell it, they immediately pulled her aside.
"What are you thinking? Fifty dollars is already very cheap, and there are two big baskets."
"Yeah, you know how expensive fruits are in the mall. They're sold individually, and each one costs a lot of money."
"Captain, don't you have a good business sense? How come you can't even do the math? You said you would lead us to dominate the island, but now we can't even get enough to eat."
Several teammates were talking to each other, and their words were full of complaints and dissatisfaction.
Although Pei Zhen didn't say anything, his cold face all the way gave off a strong sense of oppression.
Chi Wei was already fuming, and now hearing her teammates complaining in her ear, her anger continued to rise. She had cut her hand while leading the way, and no one had cared, but now they were constantly blaming her.
She is usually praised by others, so why should she have to do everything to please these people?
The more Chi Wei thought about it, the angrier she became, and the angrier she became, the more aggrieved she felt
Suddenly, my nose felt sore and I couldn't help crying. While crying, I took money from my wallet and said, "Buy! Buy! Can't I buy it?"
She took out a Beishi coin worth 50 yuan and handed it to Qiao Yiyi: "Here you go!" Her voice was trembling and her face was full of tears.
Qiao Yiyi was dumbfounded. What was going on? How could she make someone cry just by selling fruit? It made her look like an unforgivable evildoer, a dishonest businessman. Hadn't she already given a 50% discount?
The audience in the live broadcast room were also very surprised. They were watching the live broadcast happily when the female guest suddenly started crying. They all had black question mark faces.
[I don't understand. I just bought some fruit, why did you start crying?]
I figured fifty yuan wasn't too much. Two large baskets of fruit like that would have cost several thousand yuan at the mall. Qiao Yiyi only sold them to her for fifty yuan. No matter how you look at it, Qiao Yiyi is probably at a disadvantage.
[I don't understand. I don't know what she's thinking. I feel like Chi Wei isn't suitable to be the captain.]
[I also think she's not suitable to be the captain. From the start of the show yesterday until now, there's been so much going on within her team.]
Chi Wei’s fans were immediately blown away when they saw these comments.
"What do you mean Weiwei isn't fit to be captain? Haven't you seen how hard she's worked these past two days? And what have the others done?!"
[That's right, Pei Zhen acted so superior the entire time. And the others, were they here to participate in the variety show or to find fault? Why didn't they just go on stage themselves? And I have to serve them like young ladies. Everyone's treasure is a treasure!]
After hearing this, fans of other groups became unhappy, especially Pei Zhen’s fans.
[Oh wow, weren't you the ones who invited us yesterday?]
[When recruiting people, they say all kinds of nice things, but the next moment they feel wronged. They are really hypocritical.]
[When you asked us to team up with Zhenzhen, you said a lot of good things, but now you're complaining again. I'm speechless...]
"My Dream Town" has been very popular since it started airing yesterday, and it was on several hot searches yesterday.
Things like #Lian Ru's comeback#, #Pei Zhen's bare face#, #Salted fish breeding farm#, #Qiao Yiyi's survival on a deserted island#, etc., have attracted a lot of attention.
As soon as the show started today, many unknown passers-by came to visit. The number of people in the live broadcast room increased significantly. Everyone wanted to see what new tricks everyone could come up with today. Unexpectedly, they saw the female guest crying.
Qiao Yiyi is so embarrassed now. Should she accept the fifty yuan or not?
If I accept it, people will cry, and I will feel like I am very stingy, and I might even get scolded.
If I don’t collect them, wouldn’t it be a waste of effort to climb up and down to pick these two big baskets of fruits?
Just when she was extremely conflicted, Zong Chang took the coin from Chi Wei and said, "You can take the fruit, but you have to leave the basket."
Chi Wei sniffed. What? She was already in such a mess, but not only did he take the money, he also didn't give them the basket?
Chi Wei looked at Zong Chang with tears in her eyes: "Then can you help us move back?"
Zong Chang had an awkward expression on his face, but his words were direct: "Sorry, fifty yuan is already the lowest price, and it doesn't include delivery."
As he said that, he picked up the bananas and mangoes from the basket.
For them, who were penniless, every thing they got was rare and precious, even the two plastic baskets they would use to carry things.
Chi Wei and the others didn't understand and just thought Zong Chang was stingy for not even helping with this little bit.
Chi Wei's fans shifted their focus from their own teammates to Zong Chang.
I never thought a guy who looks so noble could be so ungentlemanly! He's so petty.
[No wonder he's not popular in Extreme Rush, he really has no emotional intelligence at all.]
[Zong Chang deserves to be a nobody. They should quickly replace him in the next season. I don't want to see him again.]
Although Zong Chang's fans follow his brother's wishes and do not quarrel or provoke fights, it does not mean that they will not react at all when being bullied.
No way, no way, there's really someone so frail and weak that he can't even carry a little fruit back home? Didn't he promise to be his teammates' umbrella? Is that it?
Look how spoiled they are. They're so ungrateful after getting something for nothing. They don't want to contribute money or effort, and they really want to take advantage of everything. The term "green tea" refers to Chi and her fans, right?
[They're even using moral blackmail. Just because they named their team "Fairy," they think they're fairies and that others have to serve them?]
Chi Wei never expected that less than two days after she participated in the show, her fans would start to stir up trouble everywhere and offend fans of many celebrity artists.
After crying, I felt that I had lost my composure, so I apologized to Qiao Yiyi and her teammates.
Her teammates said it was okay, but they sneered in their hearts that they could no longer rely on her in the future. She was so wronged just to buy some fruit.
What Qiao Yiyi was thinking was that she would not be able to export fruits to the Fairy Group in the future because it would cause a lot of trouble.
She and Zong Chang picked some more bananas and mangoes to take back. Lian Ru and the others had already returned.
Both teams gained a lot during this trip. Lian Ru and her team found a farmhouse. The farmer not only raised many poultry such as chickens, ducks, geese, etc., but also grew a lot of vegetables.
They helped the farmer with farm work for a whole morning, and in return the old lady in the farmhouse gave them a bag of eggs from her chickens and some fresh vegetables picked from the fields.
Xiang Rong and his team heard from somewhere that they could buy fruits from Qiao Yiyi, so they specially came to District 5 of the Salted Fish Team to buy some fruits from them.
Not only did they not spend a penny, they even found a way to make money - they performed a show for local villagers and received an announcement fee.
So when buying fruits from Qiao Yiyi and her friends, I was very generous and didn't bargain at all. I bought two hundred yuan worth of them in one go.
Now the "Salted Fish Farm" not only has a half-meter-long fish, a bag of eggs, some fresh vegetables, and seafood that can be caught nearby at any time, but also earned 450 Beishi coins.
【Hahaha, it's both sad and satisfying to watch.】
[Yes, they are all ordinary things and not worth much, but it feels like they have suddenly become rich.]
[But it's really comforting to see how much they've accumulated from nothing.]
With more food and more money in their wallets, Qiao Yiyi and the others immediately tackled the second problem - bathing.
They took out 200 yuan from the 450 yuan they earned and asked the program team to recharge it, and bought the bath set in the mall.
The kit is not only equipped with a mobile isolation room, a shower, a water storage bucket, and a simple solar energy device, but also comes with a large bucket of tap water.
They have their own shower gel and shampoo, so now Qiao Yiyi and the others can finally take a comfortable bath without having to act like savages!
