The group was moving quite fast and soon filled up a bamboo basket with peaches. Du Yuanzhe tried to carry it on his back. The weight was not too heavy and would not make him unable to walk. However, it would take them 30 minutes to carry it back to the courtyard, which was not an easy task.

It was not until this time that Du Yuanzhe and his companions realized that the most difficult part was not picking the peaches, but carrying them back.

Du Yuanzhe had no problem carrying 30 kilograms of peaches, but Wei Lingling and You Yingxue were not so good at it. They could only carry 15 kilograms each.

Feng Mao and Zheng Xiao carried about 20 kilograms.

Zheng Xiao finally became smarter at this time. He knew that he would not get any good results if he competed with Du Yuanzhe in this regard, but he could not carry the same weight as Wei Lingling and the others. The best choice was to do the same as Feng Mao.

The five people carried their peaches on their backs and started to go back down the mountain.

Feng Mao said: "Yuanzhe, if you can't hold on any longer, just give me some, don't force yourself."

Du Yuanzhe is tall and looks very powerful, but Zheng Xiao is also tall, but he looks so emaciated that it is unbearable to look at him.

Feng Mao doesn't want the guests to come to the show and come back exhausted.

Du Yuanzhe said: "Thank you, Teacher Feng. If I really can't hold on, I will tell you."

Thanks to nearly a year of training, carrying 30 kilograms is not an easy task for Du Yuanzhe, but he can definitely handle it.

But others didn't have it so easy.

As soon as they walked down the mountain, Wei Lingling and the others couldn't bear it anymore. Sweat began to appear on their foreheads and their breathing became heavier. On the contrary, Feng Mao, the oldest one, seemed relatively relaxed.

Du Yuanzhe felt that it was more tiring to just keep walking forward, so he chatted with Feng Mao: "Teacher Feng, since we picked so many peaches, do we pay the villagers according to the weight of the peaches we picked?"

Feng Mao said: "The program team paid Changlin Village according to the estimate of picking 600 kilograms of peaches every day. Even if they can't pick that many, they will still pay according to this amount."

They certainly can't pick 600 kilograms of peaches a day, so the villagers are definitely not at a loss.

"So the peaches we pick are ours."

Feng Mao nodded: "Yes. The peaches here are especially sweet. You can eat a few later."

Du Yuanzhe responded with a smile.

After walking for another ten minutes, You Yingxue was the first to be too tired to go on: "Teacher Feng, let's take a break before we go on."

Feng Mao nodded: "Okay, let's take a break."

Not far away there happened to be some fitness equipment installed for the village. A few people put down their bamboo baskets, kneaded their sore shoulders, and sat down next to the equipment.

You Yingxue wiped the sweat from her forehead and asked, "Teacher Feng, don't we have anything else to do?"

Feng Mao laughed and said, "There is no easy work here. If I had started two months later, I could have helped the villagers pick corn, but that is more tiring. After getting into the cornfield, my arms and hands would become itchy after a while. Picking corn for a long time would be unbearable. The most important thing is that I have to carry the picked corn back myself."

Wei Lingling was puzzled: "Can't we just borrow a cart from the villagers?"

Feng Mao said: "Of course you can, as long as you can borrow one, the program team will not stop you. But even if you have a cart, doing farm work like this for a whole day can make you exhausted."

Zheng Xiao's eyes lit up: "Can we borrow a cart now?"

Feng Mao smiled and said, "You can go and try it."

Zheng Xiao couldn't stand the manual transportation, so he stood up and walked towards a house to borrow a cart.

Du Yuanzhe noticed Feng Mao's expression and said, "Teacher Feng seems to think that Brother Xiao will not succeed?"

Feng Mao said: "The production team is very cunning. They know that the most difficult part of this mission is transporting peaches, so they won't let us take advantage of it so easily."

After a while, Zheng Xiao came back with his head down and looking depressed.

You Yingxue asked, "The villagers won't lend it to you?"

Zheng Xiao said helplessly: "They don't lend, they only rent."

"That's fine too."

"But they want a hundred a day in rent, and it must be paid in cash."

After hearing this, several people fell silent.

They didn't care about the hundred dollars, but the problem was that they had no cash. The program crew had already taken away the cash on them, and their pockets were now cleaner than their faces.

Du Yuanzhe gritted his teeth and said, "How cruel."

Feng Mao said: "Other people in the program team won't do that, they will just find ways to torture us. They calculated that we can pick enough peaches in one afternoon. Although it will be tiring, it is definitely within our tolerance."

In short, nothing will go wrong.

After cursing the program organization in their hearts, they picked up their bamboo baskets again and continued to walk back.

No matter what you think, you still have to carry the peaches back first.

When they returned to the courtyard, Han Jinghao and the other two were still fishing. There was a mechanical scale in the yard, the same kind of weighing tool used in the village to sell corn, and various weights were placed next to the mechanical scale.

The program crew signaled them to put all the peaches on the scale, and then they were responsible for weighing them.

"One hundred and fifteen pounds!"

Hearing this number, Du Yuanzhe estimated that the bamboo baskets they carried should weigh about two kilograms. Excluding the weight of the bamboo baskets, there was not much deviation from their estimated weight of the peaches.

The director said, "I won't reduce the weight of the bamboo basket for you."

Feng Mao said in a gloomy tone: "Should we still thank you?"

"You're welcome."

"Hey, Director, are you looking at this frame of peaches?"

The director walked over and took a look, and found that the peaches in this box looked particularly bad. There were sunken pits on the peaches, and some of them had cracked skins.

The director frowned: "What's going on?"

Feng Mao recognized at a glance that it was Zheng Xiao's bamboo basket and turned to look at him.

Zheng Xiao was embarrassed for a moment and explained, "Maybe I accidentally hit it when I was putting the peaches there."

careless?

Everyone looked at the basket of peaches that looked almost the same. This was not something that could have been done accidentally.

The director glanced at Zheng Xiao, knowing that he was now being promoted by Huanxing Entertainment, and said, "Forget it this time, but we won't accept him if he does this again next time."

It's useless for the program crew to have so many peaches, they still have to sell them in the end. They can't sell peaches that look so good.

Zheng Xiao heard that the director did not intend to pursue the matter, and said, "I will definitely be more careful in the future."

Feng Mao said, "We should go back now. If we want to get enough ingredients for dinner and tomorrow's breakfast, we have to go again."

It is already four o'clock in the afternoon, and they try to be back before six o'clock, which is just the time to cook dinner.

......

This time Zheng Xiao did not try to save trouble. He picked the peaches and put them into the bamboo basket honestly. Everyone was much more skilled this time, and since they wanted to go back and rest quickly, they successfully returned to the courtyard before six o'clock.

After weighing, they picked a total of 240 kilograms of peaches, including the weight of the bamboo baskets. They can exchange food from the program crew at any time.

Because picking peaches during the day was too tiring, Han Jinghao and Yang Zhong cooked tonight.

Du Yuanzhe and others sat on the sofa to rest.

Du Yuanzhe said: "The environment here is really nice, there are mountains, water and fish."

Han Jinghao and his two companions caught more than ten kilograms of fish today, which is not a lot, and their efficiency is too low. They will go pick peaches together tomorrow so that Du Yuanzhe and his companions can relax a little.

Feng Mao said: "The program team spent a long time looking for a place to stay. Finally, the effort was not in vain."

Du Yuanzhe asked, "Teacher Feng, I heard that there are markets in the countryside. Are there any here?"

"Of course there is. Here, there is one episode every five days. Calculating the time, tomorrow is the day to go to the town to gather. If you are interested, we can go and watch it tomorrow."

Wei Lingling asked curiously, "When does it start?"

"It starts in the morning and doesn't end until three or four in the afternoon."

You Yingxue asked, "How are we going to get there? The production team won't arrange a car, right?"

She still remembered the hundred yuan rent today.

Feng Mao smiled and said, "It seems that Yingxue is already familiar with the program team's routine."

"You want money?"

Feng Mao said: "Although I don't know how much it will cost, but they will definitely not send us to the town for free."

Zheng Xiao shook his head: "Forget it. It's not easy for us to transport peaches. Let's not waste them."

He is not interested in the market here.

More than half an hour later, Han Jinghao and his friend finished preparing dinner. When Du Yuanzhe saw the meat dishes on the table, he immediately felt that today's efforts had not been in vain. The others also felt satisfied to see such a sumptuous dinner after their hard work.

Wei Lingling said: "After working all afternoon, I finally saw the rewards."

Feng Mao asked: "Does it feel particularly delicious?"

Several people nodded.

Han Jinghao laughed and said, "We often feel this way."

After a delicious dinner, the fatigue of several people was relieved a lot.

Feng Mao stood up and said, "We don't have very good equipment here, just a stereo and a microphone. Although it won't produce particularly good results, it will definitely be enough for singing."

"The houses in the village are not soundproof. If we sing too late, it will disturb others. So let's just sing for one hour."

Du Yuanzhe saw Feng Mao take out a stereo from the cabinet under the TV and said, "I was wondering how to sing karaoke here. It turns out there are stereos and microphones."

Yang Zhong said, "This was brought by Teacher Han. He likes to sing for a while when he has nothing to do."

Several of them had played it before and were very skilled at adjusting the volume so that it wasn't too loud to annoy the neighbors, nor too quiet to affect the experience.

Han Jinghao connected the stereo to the TV, and then said, "Ah Xiao, you should have an accompaniment. You can use your phone to connect the stereo, or you can transfer the accompaniment to the TV."

Zheng Xiao said: "I'll just connect the phone."

After all, this is an audio source that has not been made public, so he certainly won't upload it to TV.

Feng Mao asked, "Ah Xiao, when will your album be released? If it is after the show airs, do I need you to cut this part out?"

Zheng Xiao smiled and said, "No need to cut it out. I would like to thank the crew for helping me promote it."

His album has eleven songs, but he only sang two today. It won't have much impact, but will serve as a promotion.

Du Yuanzhe and a few others sat on the sofa as listeners. As the accompaniment slowly sounded, Du Yuanzhe knew that this was a slow song, most likely a love song.

Du Yuanzhe couldn't tell whether it was good or bad, but looking at Han Jinghao's expressionless face, he guessed it wouldn't be very good.

Du Yuanzhe didn't know whether Zheng Xiao sang well or not, but the lyrics sounded like whining and there was no resonance in his voice.

Soon, Zheng Xiao finished singing both songs and everyone applauded.

Feng Mao asked, "Old Han, how did Xiao sing?"

Han Jinghao was silent for a while, then uttered two words: "Average."

Zheng Xiao's face immediately turned ugly.

Feng Mao regretted the moment he asked. It's not that Han Jinghao is not good at speaking politely, but singing is an exception. He always says what he thinks when it comes to singing. Once, a singing variety show invited him to participate, but he criticized the contestants to pieces. He even told them directly that they had no talent and should change their careers.

After the show was aired, Han Kyung-ho gained the nickname of a sarcastic mentor.

Feng Mao knew he had asked the wrong person, so he tried to smooth things over by saying, "You are the king of heaven, Ah Xiao cannot compare to you, don't be too strict, I think it sounds good."

Yang Zhong smiled and said, "Ah Xiao can ask Teacher Han for advice on singing techniques. This is a rare opportunity."

Without waiting for Zheng Xiao to speak, Han Jinghao said with a straight face: "I don't have any singing skills. If I want to improve, I need to exercise every day to improve my lung capacity. If my health is too poor, it will be useless no matter how many skills I learn."

These words were like a stab in Zheng Xiao's chest.

Du Yuanzhe estimated that after this program was broadcast, Zheng Xiao would never be able to get rid of the reputation of having kidney deficiency.

Zheng Xiao's face was frighteningly gloomy. If Han Jinghao wasn't a senior, he would have probably started to retort.

Even so, he was not convinced in his heart. In his opinion, Han Jinghao was out of date and had no qualifications to coach him.

Feng Mao's eyebrows jumped, and he said, "Yuanzhe should also sing a song so that our strict teacher Han can listen carefully and stop him from always using his own ideas to judge others."

Du Yuanzhe knew he was being pulled out to divert his attention. He did not refuse, but stood up, walked over, picked up the microphone, and said, "I can't sing much."

Du Yuanzhe also listens to music on weekdays and is used to playing music when running. He thinks his singing is okay, he certainly cannot be considered a singer, but his singing should sound good to outsiders.

He is not a professional singer, so the audience certainly does not have high expectations of him, as long as his performance is acceptable.

Du Yuanzhe chose a very passionate song. As he sang the first sentence, Han Jinghao sat up straight instantly.

Others noticed his action and looked at Du Yuanzhe. They didn't understand singing, but they just thought it sounded nice.

Zheng Xiao lowered his head slightly to hide his face which was distorted by jealousy.

After the song was over, before Du Yuanzhe could say anything, Han Jinghao stood up and said with a smile, "You sang very well."

Du Yuanzhe was stunned: "Teacher Han?"

Han Jinghao said: "You have a great voice, your singing has its own characteristics, and you are very talented. If you receive systematic training, you will definitely improve rapidly. Are you interested in learning singing from me?"

This person is afraid of contrast. Without contrast, there is no harm.

People can guess Zheng Xiao's mood without even watching.

Feng Mao silently sympathized with the poor child for a second.

Du Yuanzhe didn't expect Han Jinghao to want to teach him to sing. He shook his head and said, "Teacher Han, I'm an actor. I've never thought about becoming a singer."

Han Jinghao looked at him with eyes full of expectation: "You can think about it now."

Du Yuanzhe refused and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Han, I just want to be an actor."

He just wants to focus on acting and doesn't want to venture into other areas. He doesn't have that much energy.

Han Jinghao said disappointedly: "What a pity, if you change your mind in the future, you can come to me."

He had wanted to take in an apprentice a long time ago, but had never found the right person. In his eyes, Du Yuanzhe was a rough diamond who would become a great talent if he was trained well. It was a pity that Du Yuanzhe did not want to be a singer.

After this little episode, everyone else sang a song, most of which were mediocre. The most eye-catching one was Feng Mao. It was hard to imagine that he could not sing a single word out of tune in a three-minute song. However, he sang with great enchantment, which was quite magical.

Looking at the excited expressions of Jinming and his friends, one could tell that they had heard Feng Mao sing a long time ago.

Du Yuanzhe said: "Teacher Feng, there is a reason why you are such a good actor."

Hahaha--

Everyone couldn't help laughing.
