Chapter 175 The Final Winner
"Okay! Five hundred coins in total!"
Under Su Pianpian's shocked gaze, she watched the female stall owner gather and pack the five pots of lychees placed on the side of the cart.
The clue is lychee?
She returned to the female boss earlier than Xu Zhao.
The female boss clearly asked the same question, so why did Xu Zhao buy lychees? There couldn't be any secret language between the two of them.
Su Pianpian shook her head. It was impossible. Before the show, the director had told her that this game was absolutely fair and there would never be such a thing as an NPC secretly giving clues.
But now Xu Zhao directly bought all the lychees. Either she got the clue from somewhere else, or she just bought them randomly.
Although she thought of two possibilities, Su Pianpian was more inclined to the first idea.
If Xu Zhao bought none, then she would be the only one who bought the lychees. According to the rules of the game, Xu Zhao could sell the lychees at the highest price without any competitors.
Su Pianpian carefully observed the items on the cart. There were only five of each item. She asked, "Boss, what are the prices of these items?"
After the female boss packed up the lychees Xu Zhao bought, she replied, "Each one is 100 wen each."
The same as one hundred wen, the selling price cannot exceed 20% of the cost. If Xu Zhao really buys correctly, after deducting the cost, she can make a maximum profit of one hundred wen.
With a profit of one hundred Wen, you can basically be sure to be the final winner.
Su Pianpian looked at Xu Zhao again, "Zhao Zhao, how did you get the clues here?"
Thinking that she had already bought what she wanted, and that all the lychees had been bought by her, Xu Zhao did not hide anything, "This is what happened..."
She told Su Pianpian about her subsequent conversation with Song Tan. At the end, Xu Zhao said, "I originally thought that the clue would be given after I returned here, but I didn't expect that the female boss would ask me if I had found any clues as soon as I came back. So I recalled what happened before and found that the clue was actually given during the conversation with Song Tan."
"Just because Song Tan said that he sold fruits with his sister, you guessed it was lychees?" Su Pianpian was surprised.
To be honest, even if she had experienced the same thing as Xu Zhao, she might not have guessed it was litchi at the first time. She is indeed a top student with strong logical thinking.
Xu Zhao had no idea that Su Pianpian had already given him a thumbs-up in her heart. She blinked her eyes and said in a normal tone, pointing to a cart of things, "I didn't know it at first, but I knew it after seeing the things on the cart."
Su Pianpian scanned the image on the cart again and finally understood. No wonder!
Lychees are the only fruits on the cart. The clues are very specific and there is no ambiguous answer.
"This task is really difficult. I thought I just had to do what the female boss said, but I didn't expect there were so many twists and turns in it."
Originally, I thought that setting up clues was just to increase the recording time, but I didn’t expect that the real purpose of the program team was to test the guests.
Xu Zhao nodded, "That's right."
She was afraid that Su Pianpian would be sad, so she didn't say that she actually felt that the task assigned by the female boss was a bit simple from the beginning.
Since this item can be monopolized and profits can be maximized, the task must be difficult and will never be as simple as it appears.
As for the wish fulfillment in the title.
Now that I think about it, actually the sister hoped that her brother would pass the imperial examination, which was the last wish of her parents, but she also wanted her brother to become an official and make money to support himself.
As a younger brother, he hopes that his sister can marry into a good family and live a happy life.
In fact, their wishes are not conflicting. Who says that the only way to make money is to be an official? In order to make your sister happy, you have to make good money.
After she talked them through it, wouldn't both of them get what they wanted?
“Sister Pian Pian, it’s still early, why don’t you go to other stalls and have a look, maybe you can sell something else.”
Su Pianpian was reminded, "You're right, I'll leave first!" After that, she immediately moved and looked for the next stall with clues.
Tang Qianshuo was lucky today. After wandering around the ancient town for half an hour, he successfully found a mission point.
"Young man, what do you want to buy?" The owner of the stall was a middle-aged woman who looked to be in her fifties. She stood at the back of the stall, holding a bowl of mung bean soup in her hands. There were bean-sized water droplets hanging from the outside of the bowl. After she finished speaking, she drank up all the soup in the bowl without mercy, leaving only some bean dregs in the bowl.
Tang Qianshuo licked his lips and glanced at the items on the stall. There were all kinds of things, including sachets and pendants. There were many types, but the quantities varied.
"Boss, how did you get the clue here?" Tang Qianshuo raised his head and went straight to the point, his eyes staring at the empty bowl in the boss's hand without any concealment.
Iced mung bean soup, I really want to drink it!
The stall owner put the bowl in the compartment under the stall and said to Tang Qianshuo, "Come with me."
Tang Qianshuo followed the stall owner closely and walked into an alley not far away.
The alley was narrow, with mosses growing between the bluestone bricks and the walls, and between the bricks. Two carts were barely parked deep in the alley, with sacks of unknown contents piled on top of them, stacked at least one meter high.
The task was very clear. Tang Qianshuo stretched his arms and legs. The stuff in the truck was not light, and he regretted not having enough muscles to use. Fortunately, he had been exercising whenever he had free time in recent years, and the not-so-much muscles in his body finally found a place to be used.
"The stuff on the cart is the rice ordered by the owner of the Dongsheng Rice Shop. As long as you deliver this cart of rice to the Dongsheng Rice Shop, the owner will naturally tell you what the clue is."
"Okay!"
Tang Qianshuo did it right away. He walked quickly to the front of the cart, put the rope tied to the front of the cart on his shoulder, passed his arm through the rope to secure it, and then grabbed the handlebars in the front of the cart. He pushed back with his toes, and the wheels of the cart behind him showed signs of loosening and slowly turned.
The most difficult stage of pulling a cart carrying heavy objects is the starting phase. Once the cart starts moving slowly, pulling the cart becomes much easier.
Tang Qianshuo took great effort to get the wheels of the cart moving completely. He did not waste any time and quickly asked for the location of Dongsheng Rice Shop. He pulled the cart slowly in the direction pointed by the boss.
The location of Dongsheng Rice Shop was neither far nor near, and it took Tang Qianshuo more than twenty minutes to pull the cart to Dongsheng Rice Shop.
The owner of the rice shop heard the noise outside the door and hurried out, saying, "Thank you for your hard work!" But he neither handed over a towel nor poured him a glass of water.
After walking all the way, his back was now covered in sweat. When he turned around, the color of his clothes had changed due to the sweat.
Tang Qianshuo panted and adjusted his breathing. When his breathing became smoother, he said, "Boss, clue!"
