Chapter 255: Buying Equipment

Lu Jinsen's face was filled with sincerity, and the audience instantly became lively when they saw this scene:

[I can’t stop laughing, hahahaha, the young master is really clingy to Sister Meng]

Lu Jinsen said: There is no reason for a family to be separated.

Lu Jinsen’s choice was actually correct, as their group won first place last time. If the other four, including Sister Meng, remain the same this time, their event funds will be the highest. Now it all depends on what the other two choose.

I think no matter how they team up, their funds for camping equipment won't exceed two thousand yuan. So... over a thousand yuan seems a bit high. Tents and sleeping bags are at least a hundred yuan, right?]

Xu Huanning didn't seem to care about whether she had enough funds. She went straight to her initial teammate Zhang Yunshu and said, "Sister Yunshu, why don't we go together?"

Zhang Yunshu was also very casual in this regard and immediately agreed: "Okay."

Seeing that there were two groups of members who had not changed, the audience's attention was finally focused on the Shuangqi siblings and the Liao sisters.

[Now there's something interesting to watch, hahaha, the variety show effect is maxed out]

[Let’s not talk about who they will choose between Meng Jie and Xu Huanning. I’m just curious whether they will stick together like the other two groups.]

I think they will separate. They weren't even together in the last recording. Maybe their relationship hasn't been repaired yet. How can they possibly stay together?

After heated discussions among the audience, they began to make their final choice.

At this moment, Liao Jiake also took the initiative: "Yanyan, do you want to come with me?"

"I think the last grouping was pretty good." After Liao Jiayan politely declined her sister, she consciously stood next to Meng Chuyuan and Lu Jinsen.

Liao Jiake: “…”

Qi Zhen's gaze fell on Qi Yan, and he called her softly, "Sister..."

Before Qi Zhen could finish his words, Qi Yan interrupted him coldly: "It's no use calling me sister."

The implication is: I won’t be in the same group with you.

Qi Yan turned to face the two already formed teams, and then took a firm step forward.

Qi Yan almost came to Meng Chuyuan without hesitation. When she saw the others' surprised expressions, she said calmly, "Why are you looking at me? I just think more money makes things easier."

She still knows how to handle this matter.

Besides, she had just rejected Qi Zhen's request to join a team. There were still two spots left in Xu Huanning's team. If she went there, there would be a 50% chance that she would be in the same group with Qi Zhen.

Meng Chuyuan's group is full, so Qi Zhen and Liao Jiake can only return to their original team from the previous episode.

Director: "Now that everyone has divided into groups, let's go to the store to buy camping equipment."

Arriving at the camping store, each group of guests began to choose the camping equipment they needed.

Meng Chuyuan came in and took a quick look around, not in a hurry to look at anything else.

I saw that the things in the store were brand new, without any dust, and the walls and ceiling were also very clean. It looked like a new store that had just opened.

Meng Chuyuan turned to look at the boss behind him and asked curiously, "Boss, your store looks quite new."

"Yes," the boss explained to her, "Our village has a good ecological environment. We just started developing new industries this year. You are the first group of tourists to come camping here."

Meng Chuyuan: "This is my first time camping too, I'm quite looking forward to it."

The environment here is indeed very suitable for camping.

Unfortunately, it is still in its initial stage and the publicity is not strong enough, so the program team discovered this Feng Shui treasure land when they were soliciting filming locations.

It just so happens that their variety show is quite popular, and we hope it can play a promotional role and boost the rural tourism economy here.

After understanding the situation here, Meng Chuyuan began to carefully select equipment with other guests.

When people see some camping equipment they like, they will basically ask the owner for the price first, and then start to calculate whether the price of purchasing these things is within their budget.

If they can pay for it out of their own pockets, equipment worth a few thousand dollars is nothing, they can even buy the best and most expensive ones.

Now when they hear the boss say that a tent costs about 300 yuan, they still hesitate to buy a certain number.

Xu Huanning: "We should buy two tents, one for the boys, and a bigger one for the three of us girls to live in together..."

Qi Zhen nodded in agreement: "I think it's okay."

By asking other guests about prices, Meng Chuyuan also roughly grasped the price range of various equipment.

Tents, sleeping bags, pots and pans were essential items for them, and then there was fuel and some other tools, which all added up to basically more than their starting capital.

In the end, even if they could bargain with the boss, they wouldn't be able to save much money.

Meng Chuyuan calculated carefully and began to have other plans, so he went to discuss with the boss: "Boss, I want to ask if you can rent a tent. How much is it? To be honest, our funds are really limited, so could you rent it to us?"

When the other guests heard Meng Chuyuan's request for a lease from the boss, their eyes lit up.

Meng Chuyuan thought that he didn't go camping often, so there was no point in buying these equipments. Besides, they had raised funds collectively to buy them, and no one would need them after the recording was over.

If you buy it now, it might be a waste.

I almost lost my mind watching the show! If Sister Meng hadn't mentioned this, I'd still be here trying to figure out how to save money and find the best deals for them... Damn!!

[Outdoor equipment in the scenic area can indeed be rented. Sign an agreement and pay a deposit, then return the items after use.]

[I suggest you don't buy it. I'm serious. Buying it and waiting until the end of the filming will only make things cheaper for the production team. I remember a guest bought a bicycle last season, and that bicycle ended up appearing on another variety show directed by Luo.]

[They have been looking in for a long time, but the boss didn’t even remind them that they can rent it, hahahaha]

[That's normal. The boss is a businessman and he definitely wants to sell his products.]

After the boss told them the rental price, Meng Chuyuan and his friends chose to rent a tent, an outdoor stove, pots and pans, and only had to pay for fuel, lamps and sleeping bags.

In the end, their group spent a little over 1,500 yuan in total, and still had more than 300 yuan left.

Qi Zhen saw that Meng Chuyuan's method was feasible, so he discussed with Liao Jiake and the others: "Why don't we rent it too?"

Everyone agreed: "Let's rent it."

After purchasing all the equipment, everyone started to load their things into the car and returned to the camp to set up tents.

Each group of guests unloaded the tools they purchased from the car and placed them in the open space reserved by the program team. Almost everyone had camping tools in their hands.

Everyone unfolded the rented tents and spread them out on the lawn. This was quite difficult for them as they had never camped before.
