Chapter 135 Betrayed Again

Before Xu Wang could even make a move, Yunxi, who was also picking mangoes not far away, came over after smelling the aroma. This time, not only did he come, but Jiang Xiubai, a little tail, followed behind him.

Yunxi was so thirsty he could hardly stand it. He casually picked up a bottle from the wooden box, opened the cap, and gulped down a big mouthful. It tasted pretty good, orange flavored.

Jiang Xiubai was not about to suffer. He picked out a bottle of soda that suited his taste and took a big gulp, emptying nearly half of the bottle.

Xu Wang stared blankly at the two of them, his gaze lingering on Yunxi for a few more seconds. How could someone be tricked by the same person twice?

The crew member carrying the wooden box slowly smiled; their sales targets were about to be achieved.

Yunxi felt Xu Wang's gaze and looked at him in confusion. What's wrong?

Xu Wang silently flipped the price list in his hand over.

Yunxi's gaze slowly moved downwards, and for a moment a mouthful of juice got stuck in his throat. He didn't want to spit it out, but swallowing it made him feel uncomfortable.

Yunxi chose to feel sad over being reluctant to part with her.

Yunxi took the price list from Xu Wang's hand. Yunxi gripped the bottle so tightly that her fingertips turned white, and she gritted her teeth.

"Director! Aren't you afraid of getting yourself stuffed in a sack one day?"

"What's wrong?" Jiang Xiubai looked at the group in confusion. Suddenly, he seemed to remember something. He turned to look at the soda bottle in his hand. He remembered how much this soda cost in the first episode.

It seems to be 200?

"What else? We haven't even earned enough to eat yet, and we've already spent all our money." Yunxi handed the price list directly to Jiang Xiubai.

Jiang Xiubai stared at the prices on the price list, speechless. "Did he lower the price?" she asked. "Yes, he did. But was there any significant difference between the price before and after the price reduction?" "No, there wasn't."

"Can I dine and dash?" Jiang Xiubai asked instinctively.

The scene was completely silent.

"No, Ms. Jiang, I'm just a small employee, please don't make things difficult for me." The program crew member quickly shook his head.

Jiang Xiubai was truly at a loss this time.

[Jiang Xiubai's main character is a habitual bailer who skips out on his bill.]

[Luckily, it wasn't the director standing in front of Jiang Xiubai, otherwise we would have heard the director roar.]

[Haha, Yunxi got caught twice.]

[He always volunteered for the role, the director must be raking in the profits (covers mouth and chuckles).]

[Other people get scammed once a day, but each time it's a different scam; he gets scammed once a day, but each time it's the same.]

[Yunxi: Director, would you dare to be generous to me this once?]

[I know the answer to this question. Director: That won't do. You're one of my main sources of income.]

[Haha, Yunxi is practically becoming a loyal customer of our shrewd director.]

[I have a feeling there'll be another Jiang Xiubai; he doesn't seem very bright either.]

I completely agree with all the points made above.

………………

In the end, the two of them each paid the staff 199 yuan.

Pei Yanchuan took a bottle of peach juice from the wooden box in front of the staff member and paid for it.

Before Xu Wang could react, the peach juice was unscrewed and appeared in front of him.

Xu Wang looked up at Pei Yanchuan in front of him.

"I'll drink after you finish yours." Pei Yanchuan took Xu Wang's hand and placed the juice from his hand into Xu Wang's.

"Okay." Xu Wang didn't refuse, took a sip, and handed the juice in his hand to the other person.

Pei Yanchuan smiled and took the drink, only taking a small sip.

[Ahhh, an indirect kiss!]

[Wait, why are we getting so worked up over something as indirect as an indirect kiss?]

[That's because I haven't kissed her enough (her face turns pale)]

Gu Yunlan and Qin Huai also saw the program crew members selling water wandering around the orchard.

Qin Huai looked at the sweat on Gu Yunlan's forehead, turned around and walked to the staff, bought two cups of lemon water. He originally wanted to buy unsweetened mineral water, but considering that Gu Yunlan's exercise level today was indeed excessive, he decided to give him some lemon water instead.

When Gu Yunlan saw his wife go to buy water, his eyes lit up. When he saw that it was lemonade, he jumped up with joy.

Xia Yu and Hou Yunqi bought a bottle of soda together. After taking a sip of the soda, Xia Yu felt like she had come back to life.

Zhong Ran and Leng Yifan didn't have much money left for their trip, so they only bought one bottle of mineral water.

At 11 a.m., some villagers gradually stopped what they were doing and prepared to go down the mountain to go home and prepare lunch for their families.

The production team then called the guests to go back.

Pei Yanchuan carried the heavy basket in front of him, and Xu Wang quickly helped him lift it.

Pei Yanchuan took Xu Wang's hand and gently shook his head at him: "It's okay, this weight isn't too heavy."

“Tell me if you get tired, and we’ll take turns carrying you.”

"good."

Despite saying that, Pei Yanchuan didn't mention the matter of switching people to carry him at all along the way. In fact, he would even try to distract Xu Wang when he tried to bring it up, until the two of them safely descended the mountain.

When everyone returned to the village chief's house, the director and assistant director stood on either side of a large electronic scale.

Xu Wang helped Pei Yanchuan put the basket on his back on the ground.

"Thank you all for your hard work. You can line up and come over here to weigh yourselves. The production team will then rank each group according to their weight," the director said, waving his banana leaf fan in a very good mood.

The first group to be weighed were Jiang Xiubai and Yunxi. The two watched the numbers on the scale jump around nervously, and finally the number stabilized at 38 jin.

The assistant director wrote down the weight in his small notebook.

The second group consists of Leng Yifan and Zhong Ran.

Zhong Ran had put in all his effort this time, confident that he could take first place. But when the results came out, he rubbed his eyes in disbelief. 37.5 jin (18.25 kg). Not to mention first place, he was even half a jin (25 kg) less than Yunxi's group.

"Yes!" Jiang Xiubai happily gave Yunxi a high five. Now, at least the two of them weren't at the bottom.

Zhong Ran checked the scale again and again, and even took the fruit off the scale and stood on it himself. In the end, the scale was not broken, but he had just picked too few.

The third group to weigh the fruit was Xia Yu and Hou Yunqi. Their baskets looked to have more fruit than the previous two groups. Sure enough, the scale showed a weight of 45 jin (22.5 catties), which was almost 10 jin (5 catties) heavier than the previous two baskets.

The fourth group consists of Gu Yunlan and Qin Huai. The two picked exactly 40 jin (20 catties) of fruit, and are currently ranked second.

The last group was Xu Wang and Pei Yanchuan. The two of them carried the basket up together, and the red number kept increasing until it finally stopped at 50 jin.

"Congratulations to Teacher Xu and Teacher Pei for winning first place in this competition!" The director clapped wildly from the sidelines.

The live stream was filled with congratulations.

The assistant director ranked the results of the five groups of guests' efforts. The final ranking was: Xu Wang and Pei Yanchuan first, Xia Yu and Hou Yunqi second, Qin Huai and Gu Yunlan third, Yunxi and Jiang Xiubai fourth, and Zhong Ran and Leng Yifan fifth.

Zhong Ran and Leng Yifan looked at the final rankings with grim expressions. Not only were their accommodations the worst, but now they were also eating the worst food.

Xu Wang and Pei Yanchuan were the first to arrive at the table. Xu Wang picked up a large piece of pork belly, but just as he was about to take another piece, a hand suddenly grabbed him.

Xu Wang slowly turned his head and saw Pei Yanchuan holding several kinds of green vegetables, gently shaking his head at him.

Xu Wang looked at the vegetables in the other person's hand and sighed deeply.

Xia Yu took the fish; he was starting to crave the pickled fish that Lao Hou had made for him.

When Hou Yunqi saw Xia Yu pick up the fish, he tacitly took the only bag of pickled cabbage on the table.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Qin Huai and Gu Yunlan made their selections quickly. Qin Huai took a lot of vegetables, and at Gu Yunlan's request, he also took two chicken legs.

Gu Yunlan immediately performed a face-changing act on the spot, instantly transforming her initially dejected expression into one of someone who was going home for the Chinese New Year.

Jiang Xiubai and Yunxi had clear goals, and the two of them went straight for the lamb chops and steaks. Although they were ranked second to last, they still managed to get quite a few good items.

Zhong Ran and Leng Yifan, who came in last, had no other choice but to take the remaining ingredients from the other groups who had already chosen.
