When Lu Chuanbei and his companions had a bad start and had already owed a huge sum of 500 kilograms of fishing money before they even started fishing, Song Tiantian and his companions had already filled all the buckets they brought with them with the fish they caught.
Director Liu was even more satisfied with his fishing addiction: "Not bad, not bad, this bait is really good."
As he said that, he looked at Song Tiantian and said, "Tiantian, would you like to exchange this bait with me?"
"No!" Song Tiantian hadn't refused yet, and Xu Qi quickly spoke up, "Didn't the production team stipulate that we can only use seafood for barter? Director Liu, as the director, you can't go back on your word in front of so many fans in the live broadcast room, right?"
Director Liu then remembered the trading rules he had set. Thinking of this, Director Liu couldn't help but regret his rashness. Otherwise, he could have changed some bait and gone back to try.
At this moment, the cell phone in Director Liu's arms began to vibrate wildly.
Director Liu quickly took it out and took a look.
When Director Liu saw the message sent by the staff, he couldn't help but smile and immediately sent a message back.
Judging from Director Liu's expression, could it be that he knows about the fishing supplies?
[Of course. Five hundred kilograms of fish! I wonder if Lu Chuanbei and his team can catch them all in one afternoon.]
[I can't bet, otherwise how can I enjoy the show! ]
[That's right, I really want to see how Lu Chuanbei and the others, unable to pay back the fish they owe, struggle to complete quests and pay it back.]
[Haha, why is Director Liu suddenly so happy? He must be thinking of something crooked again!]
[Tsk tsk, Xiao Lu and the others are really miserable. Why are they fishing here when there's nothing to worry about? They might as well be fishing here with Tian Tian and the others. At least they don't have to get ripped off.]
Xu Qi watched as Director Liu turned and left without even a hint of bargaining, and couldn't help but wonder, "Strange! When did Director Liu become so easy to talk to?"
"Isn't it better to be easy to talk to?" Xu Anjia looked at him strangely.
"It's good to be nice, but I'm afraid some people are still plotting something." Xu Qi gestured at his daughter and said, "Especially with an old fox like your Uncle Liu. He's very cunning and can easily scheme against you."
[Director Xu was right. Director Liu has already plotted against you.]
[That's right, it's a 500-jin (1000-pound) fish. If I don't pay it back, how many fish will I have to catch to make up for it?]
Xu Qi and others, who have no worries about debt for the time being, are now worrying about how to move so many fish back.
Xu Qi glanced at the four little kids beside him, then at the bucket on the ground, revealing a worried smile: "We can't eat all these fish. How about we take them to the supply exchange to exchange for something?"
"Can I change snacks?" He Jingnian was the first to raise his hand and asked, "I want French fries, potato chips, and Coke!"
"I want to eat instant noodles and cookies!" Xu Anjia also said hurriedly.
"I want lollipops and candied haws!" Song Tiantian, as her name suggests, said to Xu Qi without thinking.
"What about Nannan?" Xu Qi looked at them and asked, "What do you want to eat?"
"I haven't decided yet, but I can go to the Material Exchange to see what's available."
"Okay, let's go take a look first." Xu Qi said as he picked up a bucket of fish in one hand. He glanced at the remaining buckets and said, "Let's put the remaining fish here for now. We'll come back later to pick them up."
"No one will take the fish away while we are away, right?" He Jingnian said worriedly.
"No." Xiangfangnan glanced at the drone hovering around them and the staff standing by the dock ready to respond. "We're recording a show. The production team won't let anyone take our things away."
"Oh, that's right!" He Jingnian glanced at the staff with sudden realization, "And the production team is watching us!"
In this way, the little guys placed the fish under the staff's noses and walked towards the material exchange.
Only Xu Qi looked at the bucket with a bit of worry...
【Tiantian and the others are still naive! 】
[He actually handed the fish to the staff without any hesitation. What's the difference between this and throwing meat buns at a dog?]
[The achievement that only Xu Qi was worried about was achieved...]
As soon as he arrived at the material exchange, Xu Qi immediately put down the two fish buckets in his hands.
From his impatient look, we can tell that Xu Qi’s load-bearing capacity must not be very good.
But none of this matters.
As soon as Xu Qi entered, he shouted to Grandma Lin and the others inside, "Auntie Lin, we're here to exchange supplies."
"Oh?" Grandma Lin looked up at them and asked, "Did you bring any seafood?"
"Yeah," Song Tiantian nodded hurriedly, "We just caught a lot of fish at the dock!"
"Grandma Lin, look at how much we can exchange these fish for!"
"I need to change my snacks. I haven't had any snacks all day."
"Let me take a look." Grandma Lin and others stepped forward and looked into the fish bucket that Xu Qi brought.
When I saw the box was full of fish, I couldn't help but be surprised.
"Did you catch all these at the dock?"
"My goodness, when did you start catching groupers and Spanish mackerel in large numbers?"
"Look, there's a black snapper here!" Uncle Lin pointed at the fish under the bucket and said, "It looks pretty big."
"Really? Did you guys find a fishing spot today? You actually caught so many fish?"
"Not really," Xu Qi boasted. "We're just getting started. We still have a few buckets of fish at the dock that we haven't brought over yet. If we weren't really too heavy to carry, we wouldn't have brought them over to exchange for some snacks."
[Pfft... Is Xu Qi trying to show off while also praising others?]
[Haha, Xu Qi looks so smug. I'm afraid I didn't tell them that they caught a lot of fish this afternoon!]
Uncle Lin, who was really impressed by the show, looked at Xu Qi in disbelief: "What did you say? Besides these two buckets, you also caught a lot of fish."
"Yeah." Xu Qi nodded decisively. "The fish are all on the dock right now. Take a look and see how much you can exchange them for. If the price is good, I'll go get two buckets later."
Uncle Lin: "...Okay, I'll calculate the price for you first, and then you can go to the back room to pick out your things."
"In the back?" Xu Qi looked towards the back of the yard. "No wonder we didn't see any supplies when we came here. It turns out they are all in the back."
As he spoke, Xu Qi quickly looked towards Uncle Lin and the others: "By the way, what do you base your calculations on? It won't do if they're too cheap."
"Don't worry, we calculate according to the local seafood market price. We will not charge you less than a cent."
"That's good." Xu Qi breathed a sigh of relief. "I thought the production team was going to be completely inhumane, but I didn't expect they still have some conscience."
Although there are quite a lot of fish in the buckets, it is still very quick to count them. There are a total of fifteen fish, big and small, in the two buckets. According to the current market price of seafood, it is about four hundred yuan.
Of course, the black sea bream fetched the most money. After all, things are valuable because they are rare. Ordinary fish would not be sold for much money in this place where there is no shortage of seafood, even at the market price.
Xu Qi was very satisfied with the huge sales volume.
Grandma Lin gave Xu Qi a ticket for 423 yuan: "This is a supply ticket. You can take this ticket and go directly inside to choose the supplies you want."
Xu Qi looked at the supply ticket and couldn't help but twitch his lips. "Your production team is quite ceremonial. You actually came up with something like this."
"That's right, especially your Director Liu, who had so many tricks that we almost didn't remember them all," Uncle Lin couldn't help but complain.
Director Liu, who was already sitting in the studio, couldn't help but hum a few times when he heard the voices trying to suppress laughter. "Laugh if you want to. Don't make yourself sick by holding it back."
After the words fell, a staff member beside him couldn't help laughing...
Xu Qi took the supply ticket and took a few little ones to the big houses behind the front yard.
As soon as the door was opened, several rooms full of supplies appeared in front of Xu Qi and others.
[Hiss... Director Liu, did he move the supermarket here?]
[Oh my god, I just thought this back there was just a supply and marketing cooperative like Beiyang Village, but I didn't expect there to be a whole other world inside these rooms!]
[My Director Liu is amazing! How much supplies are packed into this facility?!]
[Snacks, fruits, fresh produce, drinks, etc., and then there's even a cake and dessert section and toys. Oh my god, there are so many things, I'm afraid it's going to empty Xu Qi's pockets, right?]
Xu Qi, who had just held the supply coupons and felt like a rich man, saw everything in front of him. He and the others went crazy when they saw the snack area and the toy area at the back, and ran in cheering.
Xu Qi looked at the little guys who were already having fun. His hand holding the supply ticket couldn't help but tremble slightly. "It's over. I'm afraid that even if I sell all the fish I caught this afternoon, I won't have enough to spend..."
Just as Xu Qi thought, the money they had just earned was gone before they could even spend it.
Not only that, Xu Qi also brought a few buckets of fish from the dock, so that they didn't leave the material exchange with debts.
When leaving the material exchange, He Jingnian was holding a toy excavator and several bulging bags of snacks.
Xu Anjia was holding a teddy bear that was almost as tall as her, and her favorite biscuits.
There was also Song Tiantian holding a candied haws lollipop in one hand and a big cake in the other, and even Xiangfangnan bought a remote-controlled plane.
Even so, Xu Qi managed to save some money and bought some chicken legs and ribs...
