Chapter 75: With your appetite, every penny saved counts
"Ah? You want to live alone?"
When Huo Lingchuan heard that Huo Qinghuang wanted to live in a room alone, he immediately came to his senses, his face full of reluctance.
"This room is provided by the production team. It doesn't cost money. It would be a waste of money to open another room. With your appetite, we can't afford to spend this little money. We have to be frugal."
"Other groups all sleep like this, so every penny saved counts, and we'll try to get first place.
Besides, I am your brother, who dares to gossip about me!"
Huo Lingchuan kept chattering, earning him a death stare from Huo Qinghuang.
"I earn the money. If you don't want to get an extra room, then you can sleep on the street."
Huo Qinghuang was too lazy to say anything more to him and went straight into the hotel lobby.
"Hey, I was protecting you just now, you can't be so cruel!"
Huo Lingchuan trotted after him, still mumbling, "Don't you want your bird anymore?"
“Giggle!”
Xiaobai had already seen the opportunity and had hidden himself on the treetops. When he heard Huo Lingchuan mention him, he immediately flapped his wings and flew over.
"Find a place to live by yourself and don't disturb me."
Seeing that Xiaobai was about to follow him into the hotel, Huo Qinghuang frowned and gave instructions.
"Huh?"
Xiaobai's flapping wings suddenly stopped and he stared at her in disbelief.
Isn’t it the apple of our ancestors’ eyes?
Why not let it in?
"Hahaha, a bird wants to stay in a hotel, how hilarious!"
Huo Lingchuan laughed with glee.
This little guy bullied him before, and now he is getting his retribution, right?
Xiaobai looked at Huo Qinghuang expectantly for several times, but seeing that she was unmoved, he could only fly out of the hotel feeling aggrieved.
The three figures quickly disappeared into the depths of the hotel.
At the entrance of the hotel, the atmosphere was dead silent, with only the rustling of tree branches in the summer night wind.
Not until the figures of Huo Qinghuang and others completely disappeared did Tang Li dare to stand up and heaved a sigh of relief.
As a result, when he let out a breath, the energy and blood that he had forcibly suppressed suddenly surged up, his vision went dark, and he lost consciousness instantly.
…
In the hotel, Huo Lingchuan stood at the door of the room, with a black and blue nose, staring at the door with deep hatred, wishing he could stare a hole in it.
Just now, he wanted to squeeze into the room shamelessly, but Huo Qinghuang hit him in the face with a door panel, and his nose was swollen.
"It's just opening another store. If you don't mind spending money, why should I mind? You don't want me to make money anyway!"
Huo Lingchuan groaned angrily, turned around and booked a room next to Huo Qinghuang.
At this moment, Huo Qinghuang was already lying on the bed and sleeping soundly.
Huo Lingchuan's group won the first day's championship without any controversy, and naturally the program team provided them with accommodation.
But the other five groups were not so lucky.
First is the group with actor Qin. Among the guests in this episode, he is the most famous, and his partner Yang Yunshan was also once very popular.
At first, the two wanted to find something to do in a nearby village, but the jobs the villagers offered them were either growing vegetables in the fields or carrying manure.
Actor Qin had never done such a job before. Before the dung bucket was taken out, he immediately ran away with his nose pinched.
Later, the two thought about tutoring the children in the village. However, the village was demolished to build a resort. The original villagers all bought houses in the city. Now those who still live in the village are all left-behind elderly people, and there are no schools nearby for their children to go to.
There was no choice but to go back to the resort to find work.
Finally, they saw Huo Qinghuang setting up a stall to tell fortunes, and then they had an idea, so they followed suit and started their own stall business.
Actor Qin is good at calligraphy, and his running script is smooth and majestic.
Yang Yunshan likes painting, especially oil painting, and he is quite confident in his painting skills.
The two were full of confidence, so they bought some tools and started writing and selling.
But I don’t know if it was due to Yang Yunshan’s bad luck, but only a few calligraphy and paintings were sold throughout the day, and the prices were not very high.
It is totally incomparable to the hundreds of thousands that Huo Qinghuang earns.
However, Actor Qin was not discouraged. He thought that this was only the first day of setting up the stall and there were few tourists. No one recognized him, the great Actor Qin, so they were not very enthusiastic.
When the show becomes popular and the number of tourists increases, people will naturally recognize him, and then it will be no problem to sell a painting for tens of thousands of dollars.
As for Yu Zhenzhen's group, she and Xu Mengzhu both rely on their looks to get into the entertainment industry and have no special talents.
The two discussed it and rented two sets of Hanfu at the resort and performed the Beauty Dance on the street.
It's no wonder that the two beauties performing on the street soon attracted a crowd of onlookers.
Of course, most of those who have the money and time to travel outside of holidays are retired elderly people.
Among them, most are old men.
These old men usually don’t pay much attention to the entertainment industry. They just thought the dancing of these two beauties was very pleasing to the eye, and each one was more seductive than the other.
Therefore, that sticky gaze was fixed on Yu Zhenzhen and Xu Mengzhu, and could not be pulled away.
Yu Zhenzhen was so disgusting.
But they had spent all their money, and in order to earn money to eat and avoid sleeping on the streets at night, they had to twist their waists and hips even harder.
The effort is proportional to the reward. After a busy day, the two of them earned a lot.
Looking at the colorful banknotes in their hands and the money coming into their accounts via WeChat, they were both full of confidence, believing that their earnings for the day would firmly rank first.
Naturally, they were slapped in the face by Huo Lingchuan's group. The two were full of resentment, but they had to pack up their things and find a place to stay in the villagers' homes.
The most surprising group was the one featuring actress Zheng Yunxiang.
Zheng Yunxiang did not choose to perform or set up a stall. Instead, she took her niece Zheng Yuanyuan, borrowed two sets of old clothes from nearby villagers, and pretended to be begging on the street.
The theme is nothing more than a daughter who is seriously ill and a man has no choice but to sell blood to save her, but is still unable to afford the cost.
Zheng Yuanyuan curled up on Zheng Yunxiang's legs, buried her little head in her arms, and sniffed her scent almost greedily.
It smells so good!
If she was really ill, would it be like this forever?
Zheng Yuanyuan was thinking confusedly in her young mind.
Queen Zheng’s acting skills are really good. She played the image of a mother who is eager to save her daughter to such great perfection that the audience almost believed it.
But, these days, as long as you have hands and feet, you will basically not starve to death. Most of those who can go out to beg are scammers.
Especially those who beg with children may be regarded as human traffickers.
If Zheng Yuanyuan didn't look very similar to actress Zheng, someone would probably have called the police.
Therefore, actress Zheng sat in the resort under the scorching sun for a whole day but did not get much money.
The harvest was far less than she had imagined.
Finally, it was the turn of the idol singer Huang Jiayi and the out-of-date queen Lin Rouyin, and they actually started fighting in the street.
The two groups were separated by a sidewalk. Huang Jiayi's group rented guitars and audio equipment and sang enthusiastically, attracting many onlookers.
As for Lin Rouyin, her voice was a little vicissitudes of life, her singing was soothing, and her singing had a unique charm, which attracted many people to stop and listen.
The two groups were competing against each other, especially Lin Rouyin, who wanted to win the championship very much, so she sang very hard. After a whole day, her throat was sore.
But neither she nor Huang Jiayi could compare with the gains of Huo Lingchuan's group.
Therefore, except for Huo Lingchuan's group, the other five groups of guests could only stay in nearby homestays or find a place to sleep in the villagers' homes.
Of course, you can’t sleep in the villagers’ homes for free. No matter who stays there, you have to pay.
