Chapter 167 Cooking two or three pots is no problem
Jiang Yunyao thought about the director's words and asked, "Are we also paying for the B&B ourselves?"
Director: "Yes, from now on, guests will need to pay for everything, including the mung bean soup and mineral water we provide!"
Xie Yixing believed that the program team and the guests were in the same group, and that the guests could just pay for the things from the program team themselves, so he didn't take it seriously.
"It's okay, we have money!"
Director: "In this episode, guests are prohibited from using their own assets. They can only use the money they earn during the live broadcast."
Xie Yixing: “!”
Jiang Yunyao patted his shoulder and said, "The program team set a limit of 300 yuan, but only gave us one day. This means that this money is not difficult to earn!"
Lin Wanwan agreed, "According to the program team's previous task settings, the funds obtained from completing the tasks should be far more than 600, so we don't have to worry about not completing the tasks."
Lu Mucheng made the final decision, "Two groups shouldn't do the same task, to save time in searching for tasks."
After the four of them discussed it, they followed the instructions of the program team and walked towards the small village.
The residents of this village all live in bungalows with a wall built around their houses to protect their homes while leaving a small yard.
There are large tracts of land around the village. Some of the land is used to grow fruits and vegetables, some is used to grow trees, but most of it is used to grow wheat and corn.
The guests had never lived in the countryside, so the program crew took this into consideration and, when giving them directions, specifically reminded them to walk around the outskirts of the village.
The four of them had not walked far when they saw two villagers wearing straw hats standing next to some vegetable fields.
The two groups of guests separated and each walked towards a villager.
The first task Jiang and Xie received was to help the villagers pick cucumbers.
The old villager picked up the vegetable basket and gloves and handed them to them.
He raised his hand to make a five and said in awkward Mandarin, "A cucumber costs fifty cents."
Xie Yixing had never spent so little money in his life and exclaimed, "What a bargain!"
The old man in the village thought that he was dissatisfied with the low commission, and was so anxious that he stopped speaking Mandarin and switched to a country accent.
"We sell cucumbers by the pound, so one cucumber is only two or three cents, so fifty cents a cucumber is not a small amount!"
"The prices here are low, fifty cents is really a lot," Jiang Yunyao said to Xie Yixing, "Let's get to work quickly!"
The two men put on gloves, picked up their baskets, and walked towards the cucumber racks.
[Oh my god, the prices here are ridiculously low! Cucumbers are only 80 or 90 cents each at the local market!]
[What's that in front of you? My place is more than two yuan! It's almost like an unaffordable golden cucumber!]
I suddenly realized how wonderful the countryside is! Unspoiled natural scenery, simple and hardworking villagers, and incredibly low prices... I'm going to live there when I retire!
[Everyone has their own preferences. Well, there are no recreational facilities in the countryside, and transportation is inconvenient. It's not as perfect as you imagine!]
[Three hundred yuan, fifty cents, the difference is as huge as a chasm! Jiang and Xie will have to wait forever!]
【Come on, A-Yao! A-Yao is the best! 】
[Hahaha, Jiang Yunyao is getting better too, she even has some little fans. As a variety show host, I'm very happy for her!]
Jiang and Xie each picked a large basket of cucumbers, walked to the small path at the edge of the field, and put the cucumbers into the large baskets.
The two of them counted as they put the cucumbers in the basket. There weren't many cucumbers in the basket, so they were all gone in a short while.
Jiang Yunyao stood up, patted the cucumber thorns on her hands, and said, "36!"
Xie Yixing was sunburned and a little listless. "34."
Jiang Yunyao did the math and said optimistically, "70 sticks is 35 yuan. We've already achieved one-tenth of our goal!"
Xie Yixing suddenly woke up. He looked at the half-full basket of cucumbers and exclaimed, "Ah!"
“So many cucumbers, and only 35 yuan?!”
When Jiang Yunyao heard his slightly hoarse voice, her attention shifted a little, and she looked up at him.
I saw that his face was sunburned red, big beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his lips were dry, as if he was a little dehydrated.
"Would you like some water?" she suggested. "I'm a little thirsty. Let's go get some water from the production crew!"
Xie Yixing had been thirsty for a long time, but when he knew that they had only earned about thirty yuan, he wanted to endure it a little longer.
When he heard this, he immediately put down the basket and pushed Jiang Yunyao towards the program crew.
"Come on, let's go buy some water!"
The program team sent several staff members, who rented a tricycle, held umbrellas, and carried water, following the guests to provide water in a timely manner.
Jiang Xie and the other person were walking over there, and Lu Lin and the other person happened to be passing by as well.
When the staff saw them, they introduced them to them enthusiastically.
"We have various brands of mineral water, with different prices for different brands, ranging from one dollar to three dollars!"
"We also have mung bean soup to clear away heat and relieve summer heat. It's 50 cents a bowl. You can't refill it, but you can choose to drink it at three temperatures: hot, cold, or room temperature!"
"Dear guests, no, distinguished guests, what would you like to drink?"
Jiang Yunyao pointed at the bowl, which was as big as a takeout box, and asked a soul-searching question.
"Why is mineral water the cheapest at one dollar, but such a large bowl of mung bean soup is only fifty cents?"
The staff member chuckled.
"Because a handful of mung beans can be cooked over and over again! Cooking two or three pots is no problem! And the well water in the countryside is free, there is no cost!"
Everyone: “…”
Well water is free? They might as well just drink it!
[Oh my god! Where did the production team find these staff? They talk like they're performing crosstalk! It's so funny!]
[No refills... As expected of a team formed by Director He! The stinginess is the same!]
[That so-called "bowl" is a disposable lunch box, right? In that case, I'd rather order the mung bean soup and get a free lunch box that I can use for drinking water next time!]
【Just one look at the front and you'll know he's a frugal person! 】
[A quick note for new members: all the brands that appear in the camera are advertisements!]
[Oh my god, no wonder he's the richest man! He takes the mineral water given by advertisers, makes money from the advertising fees on one side, and makes money from the guests on the other! If he's not rich, who else would be rich?!]
【Congratulations to the business genius! 】
The four of them chose mung bean soup. The difference was that Wanwan asked for a hot drink because her period was about to come, while the other three chose iced drinks.
Xie Yixing picked up the bowl and took a big sip.
His eyes lit up, and he quickly swallowed the soup in his mouth and said, "Jiang Yunyao, try it quickly, it's sweet! It's delicious!"
Jiang Yunyao picked up her bowl and took a sip.
The soup is cool and sweet, with a hint of crispness. Under the scorching sun, it is like a clear spring in the desert!
Lin Wanwan also took a sip and wondered, "Is there rock sugar in it?"
The staff said righteously, "Don't worry, this is pure natural mung bean soup without any additives. We guarantee that there is not a trace of sugar!"
Jiang Yunyao guessed, "The reason it tastes sweet is because it's well water, right?"
In her previous life, a teacher from the countryside came to her middle school and mentioned that the well water was sweet!
She had always wanted to try it, but had never had it, so she remembered it until now...
The staff smiled, "Yes!"
Lu Mucheng explained to everyone based on the knowledge he had learned.
"Well water is rich in minerals, and because the water level is low, it is pure, so it tastes sweet."
Everyone suddenly understood.
[Mr. Lu knows so much! I want to be like him and keep learning until I die!]
【Ayao first thought of well water, Ayao is awesome! 】
I never thought that after a year, we would have another "Great Sister" in our barrage section!
Xiao Xie tasted some delicious mung bean soup and immediately shared it with A Yao! He loves her!
Is the well water sweet? Reasons why the countryside attracts me +1
After drinking the mung bean soup, the four of them returned to the vegetable fields they were responsible for and continued their tasks.
The cucumber field that Jiang and Xie are in charge of seems to have only five racks planted, but in fact, there are countless cucumbers under each rack!
The two of them sped up their picking speed and bought mung bean soup several times along the way. After they were fully replenished, they started picking cucumbers again.
The two groups of guests made similar progress in their tasks, with only half a minute difference in completing the tasks.
After receiving the reward, the four of them left together to look for the next task.
