The production team only gave the guests an hour and a half to pick peaches.
After picking the peaches, Director Jiang took out a scale and weighed them at each household.
In the end, Qin Yuanyao's family picked the most peaches and received a reward of ten yuan. The second and third place winners were Xing Yu's family and Guo Zhuyan's family, who received rewards of eight yuan and five yuan respectively.
Qi Tian was very happy!
She did not let down Xing Yu and Cao Feiyue for the extra money they spent on the gloves she bought for her!
She made back the extra dollar they spent on her!
[Sweetie is so happy! After she got the gloves, she picked peaches so hard! Even harder than Cao Feiyue!]
Are you alright? Why are you dragging Yueyue into this for no reason? Yueyue didn't pick a small number of peaches, and she worked very hard at it.
[Luckily, Yu Yu bought gloves for Tian Tian. Without Tian Tian's help, they might have only gotten third place or wouldn't have received a reward at all.]
[So, some money should be saved, and some shouldn't. I don't know what Cao Feiyue was thinking, why save this money! Isn't it better for three people to work together than two?]
【Why are you still bringing this up? Didn't Yueyue apologize later? Is this all you can criticize about Yueyue?】
After receiving their peach-picking rewards, everyone carried the peaches to a nearby town to sell them.
Although it only takes half an hour to walk to the town, carrying dozens of kilograms of peaches for half an hour left the guests exhausted.
Only Guo Zhuyan's family, pushing their stroller, seemed truly relaxed and at ease.
They arrived in town just after nine o'clock, and there were still quite a few people in town.
The program team set the price for them at two yuan per kilogram.
They each found an empty spot and started selling peaches.
Two yuan a pound...that's so cheap! Peaches at the supermarket near my house are eight or nine yuan a pound!
[As you said upstairs, it's a supermarket, and supermarkets are inherently more expensive.]
No, no, no, the peaches at the market near where I live aren't cheap either; they cost six or seven yuan per pound.
Fruit is unusually expensive this year! Just buying a little fruit costs twenty or thirty yuan. It's making me want to quit my job and go back to my hometown to grow and sell fruit.
[Fruit is sold at high prices, but fruit farmers don't make much money; the middlemen take all the profits. Look, they sell peaches in town for only two yuan a pound, and fruit buyers offer even lower prices. In the end, fruit farmers work hard all year but don't earn much, while people buy fruit at high prices—all the money goes to the middlemen.]
[Speaking of which, isn't selling fruit just another step up from selling cheese? (evil laugh)]
[In the first season, Cheese won over many viewers with his mental arithmetic skills (evil laugh)]
So, will Cheese once again demonstrate her amazing mental arithmetic skills and be the first to sell out of peaches?
However, the viewers in the live stream were all wrong.
This time they only sold one type of fruit, unlike in the first season when they sold several kinds of vegetables and needed to calculate the total price of each vegetable purchased by the customer.
This time, all they had to do was put the peaches the customer bought on the scale, and the price would appear.
Chi Cheese's mental arithmetic was no longer effective, so each group of guests had to come up with ways to attract customers.
"Did you play Tao Tao in 'The Schemer'?" an older woman suddenly asked, pointing at Qi Tian.
"The Schemer" was a fairly popular urban drama a while ago.
Qi Tian played Tao Tao, the daughter of the female lead.
"Yes, Auntie." Qi Tiantian smiled sweetly. "Auntie, you've read 'The Schemer'?"
"Yes, I've seen it! It was on TV a lot a while ago. You acted so well in it! My whole family watched that show you were in."
As she spoke, the auntie called out to the villagers beside her, "Sister Qiao, do you remember Tao Tao from the 'The Schemer' series that you and I watched together the other day? She played that role!"
The auntie, known as Sister Qiao, came over and stared intently at Qi Tian.
"Oh my, is that the little actress who plays Tao Tao? She's so pretty!"
The commotion caused by the two women attracted even more villagers to watch.
A while ago, we all watched "The Schemer" together, so we all recognized Qi Tian.
Cao Feiyue felt very uncomfortable being left out.
She also debuted as a child star, but her popularity has declined quite a bit in recent years because her career hasn't been going very well.
Nowadays, more people recognize Qi Tian than she does.
"Aunties, would you like to buy some peaches? Our peaches are big and sweet," Cao Feiyue said with a smile.
Qi Tian chimed in, "Aunties, would you like to buy some peaches? Our peaches are delicious."
Upon hearing this, several middle-aged women symbolically picked out a few peaches.
Although they didn't buy much, other people saw so many people gathered around their stall and came over to see what was going on.
Seeing that they had bought several peaches, the others followed suit and bought peaches as well.
And so, their peaches sold faster and faster.
When Cao Feiyue was packing peaches for the older women, she deliberately moved her face closer to them, hoping they would recognize her.
The show "Happy Family" that she starred in was a huge hit, and she was known as the "Nation's Daughter" because of it.
However, the women were all staring intently at Qi Tian, and no one paid any attention to her.
"Hey, you—" Suddenly, an old man pointed at her and said.
Cao Feiyue was overjoyed, thinking that her uncle had recognized her, and looked at him with a radiant smile.
To everyone's surprise, my uncle said, "Give me a bag, I want to buy some peaches too."
Cao Feiyue's smile froze on her face.
Xing Yu had already taken the bag for her uncle before she could.
Cao Feiyue composed herself and asked the older women with resentment, "Aunties, have you ever watched 'Happy Family'?"
"What happy family?"
"This name sounds strangely familiar."
"Is it that TV series that was very popular more than ten years ago?"
"My family didn't even have a TV more than ten years ago, how would I know?"
"Yes! Back then, only your family had a TV, right? There weren't many families in our village with TVs."
"Back then, it would be a lie to say I wasn't envious when I saw other people had TVs. Who would have thought that now, every household has a TV, but nobody watches them anymore; people still watch 'Crazy Music' on their phones more often."
"Yes! My TV hasn't been turned on for months..."
Once the group of women got into a conversation, no one remembered the question Cao Feiyue had asked them at the beginning.
Several middle-aged women chatted, picked out their peaches, weighed them, and paid for them.
Before leaving, they said to Qi Tian, "Little girl, you're beautiful and you act so well. You're sure to have a bright future!"
Qi Tian was very happy, her eyes crinkling with laughter. "Thank you for the compliment, Auntie! I will work hard!"
Cao Feiyue, who was standing to the side, felt very uncomfortable.
