Because there were not many rooms, Zheng Xiao slept in the room with Feng Mao and the others, and Du Yuanzhe and Yang Zhongjinming shared a room. The camera of the program crew was always on, so he couldn't call Xia Ningmo and could only chat with her by messaging her for a while.
Du Yuanzhe was tired after an entire afternoon. He took a shower, lay down for a while, and fell asleep. He slept until dawn.
After Du Yuanzhe woke up, he felt some soreness in his shoulders as soon as he moved. He didn't feel anything yesterday, but it seemed that all the pain had exploded today.
He was not surprised; that was what happened to people who didn't work often.
Jinming and Yangzhong had already woken up, and now he was the only one in the room. He took out his phone, took a picture of the scenery outside the window and sent it to Xia Ningmi, said good morning to her, and got up and left the room.
As soon as he walked into the living room, he saw Wei Lingling and others rubbing shoulders, and he immediately laughed: "It seems that we are all the same."
Feng Mao was much better than them and said, "We have one day today, and with Lao Han and the other three joining us, we can relax a little."
Du Yuanzhe sat down and saw the buns on the table. He was surprised and asked, "How early did Teacher Feng get up to cook?"
Steaming buns is not like making dumplings. You have to knead the dough one or two hours in advance.
Feng Mao smiled and said, "I made the noodles last night and I took them out of the refrigerator this morning and they are ready to use."
Wei Lingling said: "Thank you for your hard work, Teacher Feng."
Feng Mao: "We have to do some hard work today, so we have to make sure you guys have enough to eat."
After hearing this, everyone's spirits were greatly depressed, but they also knew that this matter could not be avoided.
Jinming shook his head and said, "Why do you feel like we are well-fed pigs waiting to be slaughtered?"
Hahaha--
Several people laughed.
Du Yuanzhe laughed and said, "It's not a pig but a donkey. The production team treated us like donkeys pulling a millstone and ordered us to do what we want."
Han Jinghao nodded: "You're right, the production team can torture us as much as they want."
A few people were chatting and laughing while eating. After resting for a while after the meal, a few of them carried bamboo baskets to pick peaches.
On the way, Du Yuanzhe approached Feng Mao and told him the idea that came to him yesterday: "Teacher Feng, I have an idea. If it can be realized, I won't have to be so tired today."
Feng Mao asked curiously, "What idea?"
Du Yuanzhe: "Today is the market day. We can transport the peaches to the town and sell them. We can use the money to buy ingredients ourselves, which is definitely more cost-effective than selling them to the program team."
Han Jinghao said: "But we need a car to transport the goods, but we don't have the money to rent one."
Du Yuanzhe said: "We can discuss with the villagers to pay the debt first. We can't run away anyway."
When Wei Lingling and the others heard that they didn't have to work hard to pick peaches, they agreed, "We can give it a try."
Feng Mao made the decision: "Okay, let's give it a try."
Of course he wanted to relax.
Han Jinghao turned around and approached the photographers, smiling and saying, "Hand over your phones."
Yang Zhong also walked over and said, "We must take away their cell phones. We can't let them report this."
The photographer stepped back and said, "Teachers, this is not in accordance with the rules."
Feng Mao said: "Didn't the director claim that this program is the most free? When did it become a rule?"
The photographers were helpless. They had cameras on their shoulders and it was impossible for them to really fight with Feng Mao and others, so they could only hand over their phones.
Feng Mao said, "Yuanzhe, go talk to the villagers about renting a car, and we'll go pick peaches. If we can rent a car, we can drive directly into the peach forest and first transport a few dozen kilograms to see if we can sell them."
Du Yuanzhe nodded: "Okay."
Afterwards, Feng Mao and his companions continued to move forward. Du Yuanzhe looked around at the houses around him and soon saw a single-row small truck parked in front of a house. This was the kind of small truck that was usually used to transport vegetables, and it was more than enough to carry a few dozen kilograms of peaches.
Du Yuanzhe walked up to the door and knocked. Soon a middle-aged man came out. When he saw the camera behind Du Yuanzhe, he realized that this was a star who came to the village to record a show.
Du Yuanzhe said in a gentle voice: "Uncle, we want to go to the town, can we rent your small truck?"
The uncle didn't refuse, but said, "One hundred a day, must be paid in cash."
This is what the village chief asked them to do, and they have to do this whenever guests from the show come to rent a car.
Du Yuanzhe smiled and said, "We can give you 150, but please agree to one request."
"What request?"
"We are going to the town to sell peaches, but we don't know the way, so we hope you can be our driver."
The uncle was a little tempted and said, "Two hundred! I'll take you to the town."
Du Yuanzhe nodded: "Okay. Uncle, are you free now? We need to go to the town as soon as possible and sell more at the market."
"I'll go back and tell my family and then leave."
After the uncle left, the photographer asked in confusion: "Teacher Du, why didn't he ask you for money?"
The production team had considered that the guests might pay in cash for car rentals, so they specifically told the villagers that car rentals must be paid in cash and that cash payments were not allowed.
Du Yuanzhe smiled and said, "Even in the city, it doesn't make sense to pay before you do any work. I rented the car and myself together, and the uncle followed us the whole time. Plus, there were cameras, so of course the uncle wasn't in a hurry to get the money."
It suddenly occurred to him that there was no need to discuss the debt with the villagers directly, as it would seem like he was violating the rules by relying on his celebrity status. He could just rent a car according to the normal procedures.
The photographer immediately realized that the program crew had overlooked this point. The program crew only thought that the guests would rent cars, but did not expect that they could also hire people.
The program crew made the mistake of inertial thinking. They thought that the guests could drive and there was no need to spend extra money to hire villagers as drivers.
If Du Yuanzhe wants to sell peaches, he must find a local to understand the situation. Finding a local to be their driver can help them a lot.
Twenty minutes later
Feng Mao and others who were picking peaches turned their heads when they heard the sound of a car and saw Du Yuanzhe jumping out of the passenger seat of a pickup truck.
Han Jinghao was surprised and asked, "Yuanzhe, did you really rent a car?"
Du Yuanzhe turned around and said, "Uncle, please wait for a moment. We will discuss it and then go to the town."
The uncle was very satisfied with the extra money he made and said with a smile, "It's okay, you can leave whenever you want."
Du Yuanzhe walked over to Feng Mao and the others and whispered, "I didn't tell you about the debt collection. Don't mention it for a while."
Jin Ming was surprised: "Then how did Brother Zhe rent a car?"
Feng Mao understood immediately and praised: "Yuanzhe is smart. He doesn't need to pay the villagers immediately when hiring them as drivers. He can just pay them when they come back from selling peaches."
Du Yuanzhe smiled and said, "It just occurred to me. Teacher Feng, I just asked the uncle about it. The price of peaches here is generally not high, only about RMB 3.5 per pound. If we want to sell peaches, the best way is to start a price war. We can sell them for RMB 3 per pound."
"Besides, it would be too boring for us to just sell peaches. I have already discussed with the uncle, and he will help us find an acquaintance who sells fruit, so that we can sell together with that person."
Zheng Xiao said: "It's not like there are no places that sell just one kind of fruit. Do we really need to go through so much trouble?"
Feng Mao understood Du Yuanzhe's thoughts and said, "We are not familiar with this place and have no idea which location is better, but the locals definitely know that peaches are the most abundant fruit here. If we don't choose a good location, we may not be able to sell many in a day."
Du Yuanzhe continued, "Not only that, fruit vendors always have to import fruit. If possible, we can sell them a batch of peaches at a low price. They don't just sell fruit in this market."
When Zheng Xiao heard this, he knew that he had thought too simply, so he frowned and said nothing more.
Jinming admired him and said, "Brother Zhe, you are amazing. You can think of so many things."
Du Yuanzhe said helplessly: "It's really too tiring to carry peaches for a whole day. If I want to relax, I can only rack my brains to think of a solution."
"Don't be too happy, we still owe you two hundred yuan. If we can't even earn two hundred yuan, it will be a huge disgrace."
Several people looked dazed when they heard this.
Feng Mao immediately said, "Let's pick the peaches quickly. It's troublesome to run back and forth. Let's just pick a few hundred kilograms of peaches and load them into the car. We can sell as many as we can."
Without having to carry the peaches back to the yard, they were all full of energy and spread out to pick peaches.
An hour later, eight full bamboo baskets were loaded onto the truck.
But now there was another problem. There were eight of them in total, and they couldn't all go with them.
Feng Mao thought for a moment and said, "I, Yuanzhe and Lingling will go sell the peaches. Old Han, you guys continue picking peaches. When we come back, we can directly transport them back by car."
Besides them, there are two photographers, so five people are more than enough.
Han Jinghao nodded: "Okay."
Zheng Xiao was obviously reluctant, but he also knew that the car could not accommodate so many people. This idea was thought of by Du Yuanzhe, and he could not argue with Du Yuanzhe at all.
Feng Mao got in the passenger seat, Du Yuanzhe and the others sat in the car, and the group of people rushed to the town with a cart full of peaches.
Wei Lingling asked, "You've never been in a truck fight like this, have you?"
Du Yuanzhe held onto the side to prevent himself from swaying and said, "You talk as if you've done it before."
Although Wei Lingling comes from an ordinary family, she is from Yancheng and has never lived in the countryside.
Wei Lingling said proudly, "I once filmed a period drama and was in many car fights. I have more experience than you."
Du Yuanzhe took out his phone and saw the message about Xia Ningmi. His eyes lit up and he said perfunctorily, "You are really amazing."
Qiqi: “My photography skills are too poor”
This was Xia Ningmi's reply two hours ago.
Du Yuanzhe: "I'm sharing my daily life with you, but you only pay attention to the photography skills"
Qiqi: "Not working?"
Xia Ningmi might have been looking at her phone and replied to the message immediately.
Du Yuanzhe complained to her that he would have to work all day and might be so tired that he couldn't even lift his hands.
Du Yuanzhe: "I am so smart, how can I let the program crew exploit me? I am on my way to sell peaches. Today I am an expert in selling peaches."
杜元哲：“如果順利，我今天中午就可以吃到一頓大餐，馮老師的手藝很好，如果不是記得不能暴露廚藝，我都想和他學兩招，回去做給你吃”
七七：“你可以偷師”
杜元哲忍不住笑了：“你可真機靈”
正在這時，衛菱菱的對話框突然來了一條消息。
杜元哲疑惑地點開。
衛菱菱：“收起你的癡漢笑，攝像機還在呢，注意點形象”
杜元哲立刻收斂表情，擡頭看衛菱菱。
衛菱菱戲谑地看他一眼。
杜元哲面不改色，和夏凝覓說了句晚上再聊就收起了手機。
......
杜元哲幾人坐着貨車到達鎮上，先去了一家超市買了兩百個塑料袋。
值得一提的是買塑料袋的錢還是大叔幫忙付的，他們實在太窮了，一分錢都沒有。
買完塑料袋，大叔就拉着他們拐上另一條路，一直開出鎮子才停下。
杜元哲看看周圍，這裏就零星幾份賣水果和蔬菜的，完全不能和鎮裏熱鬧的集市相提并論。
不等他們問，大叔就解釋道：“這條路通往東邊幾個村子，他們那邊都不種毛桃，你們可以在這裏賣毛桃。”
“這裏可以留兩個人賣桃子，剩下一個人跟我回鎮上，那裏有賣水果的熟人，可以和他一起賣桃子。”
大叔現在已經知道他們沒錢，很熱心地幫他們找了兩個賣桃子的地點，希望他們到時候能有錢付賬。
馮茂道：“大哥說得對，我們的毛桃太多，在一個地方賣不了太多。元哲你和菱菱留在這兒，我和大哥回去。”
杜元哲兩人答應下來，從車上搬下來四框毛桃擺在路旁，把大叔幫忙借來的電子秤也拿了下來，沒這玩意兒他們可賣不了東西。
等馮茂等人離開，杜元哲看看周圍零散的幾個人，道：“我怎麽有種被發配了的感覺？”
衛菱菱深有同感：“這裏真能賣掉桃子？”
她都懷疑沒幾個客人會過來。
杜元哲眨眨眼睛：“希望大叔說得都是真的。”
杜元哲看了眼攝影師，道：“大哥，你在這兒太顯眼了，客人一看就知道我們是錄節目的，你走遠一點。”
攝影師看看左右，發現那邊有個電線杆，走過去躲在電線杆後面，攝像機還是對準杜元哲兩人。
這樣一來，客人不會第一眼就發現在拍攝。
杜元哲兩人身上都帶着話筒，不用擔心離得遠了錄不上聲音。
等了幾分鐘，就有一個人騎着電動車想要進鎮，看到他們面前的桃子，停下來問道：“這桃子怎麽賣的？”
杜元哲立刻道：“三塊錢一斤，剛摘下來的毛桃，又甜又新鮮。”
大哥只是看了兩眼就騎車離開了。
衛菱菱失望道：“好不容易來個客人還走了。”
杜元哲心态很好，道：“做生意哪有那麽容易，慢慢來就好。”
衛菱菱略帶玩味道：“你這段時間受了不少熏陶，應該挺會做生意的，我一會兒就負責稱重收錢。”
杜元哲聽懂她的打趣，挑眉道：“按照你的說法，你得比我更會做生意。”
衛菱菱失笑：“你還真是不吃虧。”
她拿夏凝覓打趣他，他就用蔣澈霖反擊。
杜元哲道：“來而不往非禮也。”
衛菱菱眼睛轉了轉，道：“晉小弟把夏總當作女神，一心想進千影娛樂，你是不是應該幫幫忙？”
杜元哲目光閃爍，道：“晉小弟這麽優秀，可用不着我幫忙，我聽劉哥說夏總對你很感興趣，也不知道蔣總舍不舍得放人？”
衛菱菱扭頭看他：“你這麽明目張膽地挖牆腳真的好嗎？”
杜元哲微笑：“蔣總那麽大度，想必不會生我的氣。”
他只會恨不得殺了我罷了。
衛菱菱說不過杜元哲，只得敗退：“又來客人了。”
這人和之前那人一樣，只問了問價格就走了。
接下來二十分鐘，來了好幾個客人，但只有一個人買了三斤桃，其餘人都只是問了問價格。
衛菱菱不解：“我們這桃子賣相很好，價格又便宜，為什麽只有一個人買？”
杜元哲若有所思道：“我猜他們在貨比三家。剛才買桃子的那個大姐是從鎮上趕完集要回家，她應該問過桃子價格，一聽我們的便宜就買了。”
“而另外的幾個人是要去趕集，他們還沒問過價格，所以想進鎮了解其他人的價格再決定。”
衛菱菱恍然大悟：“很有可能是這樣。”
接下來就仿佛在印證杜元哲的話，随着臨近中午，越來越多的人趕完集要回家，他們的生意也越來越好。
兩人分工合作，一人稱重一人收錢，而且收的都是現金，他們可沒辦法掃二維碼。
在這過程中，杜元哲明顯發現有不少之前問過價格的人，看來他們比對過價格後發現還是他們賣的最便宜。
一直忙到十一點半，他們的四框桃子賣得只剩下一筐半。
衛菱菱數着手裏的錢，笑道：“總算把要給大叔的錢掙夠了。”
一共二百一十塊錢。
杜元哲道：“就算接下來掙不到錢，只要讓大叔幫忙運桃子，我們很快就能把今天的任務完成。”
杜元哲看看時間，道：“我們再等半個小時，如果沒人再來，我們就收攤回去。”
衛菱菱道：“我和馮老師打電話說一聲。”
三分鐘後，衛菱菱通話結束。
她興奮道：“馮老師那邊的生意比我們好，他已經賣完了，現在正在買菜，一會兒就和大叔過來接我們。”
杜元哲眼睛一亮：“我們今天的飯錢已經夠了，等馮老師一來我們就走。”
兩人的心情變得輕松不少。
正在這時候，一個帶着墨鏡的年輕人走過來，問了問桃子價格，然後看着他們道：“我看你們很眼熟，是明星吧？”
杜元哲笑道：“對，我們演過幾個角色。”
現如今真人秀很常見，明星做任務賣東西并不稀奇，之前也有幾個人猜他們是明星，但只是說了兩句話就離開，畢竟不是他們兩個的粉絲。他們的名氣也沒大到引起轟動。
年輕人道：“你們應該在錄綜藝吧。我看你們還剩下不少桃子，只要你們表演個節目，我就把這裏的桃子全買了。”
衛菱菱驚訝：“表演節目？”
年輕人點頭：“對，我看明星在綜藝裏都會表演節目，你們應該也會吧？”
看他理所當然提要求的樣子，杜元哲拒絕道：“抱歉，我們今天只賣東西，不表演節目。”
年輕人皺眉：“你們表演節目我就會把桃子都買走，這樣你們的任務就能提前完成，很劃算啊。”
他會這麽提要求，就是以為杜元哲兩人必須賣完桃子才能完成任務。
杜元哲道：“賣東西不是我們的任務。很感謝你有心支持我們，但我們不需要。”
年輕人抿嘴，眼中浮現一絲尴尬和惱羞成怒，道：“就算不是任務，你們既然賣桃子肯定希望賣完，我只是提個要求而已，你們随便唱個歌就能完成，為什麽非要拒絕？”
杜元哲看他，淡漠道：“因為拒絕是我們的自由。”
現在的年輕人都很多人患有精神分裂症，他們一邊追逐明星，把和明星合照互動當成炫耀的資本，一邊又看不起明星，覺得明星就是戲子，不應該有這麽高的地位。
杜元哲很明白自己現在就遇到了這麽一個人。
這人看向他們兩人的目光中既有熱切也有不屑。
年輕人看到杜元哲的臉色，心裏不由得一顫，又沒有把事情鬧大的勇氣，臉色難看地離開了。
衛菱菱道：“這人是故意來搗亂的？”
杜元哲示意她看另一個方向，道：“是把我們當成玩樂炫耀的對象了。”
衛菱菱看過去，發現那邊站着好幾個年輕人，他們湊在一起也不知道在說什麽。
衛菱菱臉色一沉：“我們看起來很好欺負嗎？”
“或許覺得有攝像頭在，我們就會有所顧忌。”
真不知道這些人哪來的那些莫名其妙的優越感。
接下來他們又賣出去十幾斤毛桃，等馮茂到的時候，他們就剩下一筐毛桃沒賣。
馮茂幫他們把東西搬上車，臉上滿是笑容，道：“我已經買夠今天的食材，還買了不少小龍蝦，回去給你們做麻辣小龍蝦。”
杜元哲問道：“馮老師，集上豬肉多少錢一斤？”
他聽到節目組的兌換價格後就一直很好奇這個問題。
提到這個，馮茂就忍不住咬牙切齒：“我買的十六塊錢一斤，節目組的心肯定都被狗吃了，十六一斤的豬肉他們收我們四十斤毛桃。”
四十斤毛桃就是一百二十塊錢，這還是他們降價後的價格，如果按照正常價格賣還會更貴。
衛菱菱瞪大眼睛：“他們那豬肉鑲金了嗎？”
杜元哲道：“他們估計是黃世仁轉世！”
“肯定是！”
幾個人因為這件事吐槽了節目組一路。
他們回到長林村，一眼就看到等在村口的韓京豪等人。
Han Jinghao saw them and immediately asked, "How is it going? Is everything going well?"
Feng Mao laughed and said, "It went very smoothly."
Several people immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."
Han Jinghao said: "We picked a lot of peaches, we need to trouble the uncle to help us pull them back to the yard."
The uncle was about to say that it was no problem, but Feng Mao said, "We have already bought enough ingredients for today. We don't need to exchange peaches for ingredients anymore. The Cheap Program Team is worse than Cheap Big Brother."
"Brother, the peaches we picked are given to you. Just carry them back to your home."
The uncle was overjoyed when he heard this. He didn't expect that this trip would bring him an unexpected gain. He first sent them back to the yard before leaving to pick peaches.
Although every family had peach trees, this batch of peaches was a pleasant surprise. They would make a lot of money if they were sold, and no one would complain that it was too much money.
Han Jinghao waited until the uncle left before wondering, "Why are you so generous?"
Feng Mao sneered and told them the prices of vegetables and meat at the market.
For a moment, the crowd was furious.
It's not that they don't know that the program crew is unscrupulous, but there hasn't been such an obvious contrast before. But now after hearing the price comparison, they feel that they are the ones who have been taken advantage of.
The group angrily walked into the courtyard to settle accounts with the program crew.
"Huang Shiren! Come out and apologize to us!"
The author has something to say:
