Chapter 285: Performing Arts
"Yeah, that makes sense. I just searched and the nearest vegetable market is about two kilometers away. We can still make it in time if we rush over. But how much can we buy with 20 yuan? It's not enough for the eight of us." Hou Fangling has already started to calculate in his mind:
"Besides, we are now in a villa area. I am afraid that the market here is also aimed at high-end users. The price of vegetables will definitely be very high, and there will be even fewer vegetables available."
"Don't worry, I'm here. I can definitely buy the most." Shi Feiye patted his chest:
"I think we can split up into several groups. One group can go out to look for wild vegetables, one group can go to buy vegetables, one group can perform on the streets, and the last group can be responsible for processing the ingredients."
"That's right, we can also perform on the streets to raise funds." Bai Sheng suddenly found a life-saving straw.
So after the final discussion, Shi Feiye and Qin Buzhu would be responsible for buying vegetables, Bai Sheng and Shen Lou would be responsible for finding wild vegetables, Hou Fangling and Gu Yuan would be responsible for preparing the food in the villa, and Xu Longze and Hua Xi would be responsible for performing.
Shi Feiye and Xu Longze could apply for a car. It took them more than ten minutes to reach the market. Xu Longze jumped off and pulled Hua Xi to look around. He looked a little excited:
"Who would have thought that a young boy like me would one day be able to make a living with my own abilities?"
Hua Xi took two steps away from him in disdain: "You're not going to do your crosstalk again, are you? I'm telling you, your crosstalk is really not good. If we can't attract the audience to give us tips, we'll have nothing to eat at noon."
Xu Long gave Hua Xi a look that said 'don't worry': "Performing crosstalk in front of an audience is of course different from chasing after girls. I guarantee you won't go hungry today."
Shi Feiye was not in a hurry to buy vegetables. She followed Xu Longze to the market entrance out of curiosity and fun, intending to see what Xu Longze would do. By the way, she also took the opportunity to recruit Hua Xi to do the job of soliciting customers.
Shi Feiye snatched Xu Longze's hat and began to shout to the people around him, "Everyone from the east and the west, come and watch the crosstalk!"
They were very good-looking, which attracted a lot of people's hidden attention. Now when you open your voice and shout, everyone will gather around you immediately. However, only a group of people pay attention to their looks, and some uncles and aunts have not come over yet.
Xu Longze also put aside his idol image and made his hands into a trumpet shape and shouted: "Woof woof woof, chirp chirp, meow meow meow!"
What the hell is this?
Shi Feiye even forgot to shout and turned to look at Xu Longze in surprise. These onomatopoeias were learned vividly, as if these little animals really existed, but what the hell was this?
It's no wonder that after Xu Longze did this, people who were originally not interested in looking over here all turned their heads to look at Xu Longze, and even some uncles and aunts who were originally in a hurry came over.
Xu Long smiled proudly: "I told you I have real skills, just wait and see."
When most people had gathered around, Xu Longze really started to perform crosstalk. His tone and rhythm were very realistic, almost the same as what Shi Feiye usually saw on TV.
Seeing that there should be no problem if things continued like this, even though Shi Feiye really wanted to continue watching, she couldn't waste any more time. They still had to go buy vegetables, so she could only drag Qin Bu Ru to the vegetable market.
This action of everyone is indeed more attractive than yesterday, and the comments are soaring:
"It's the first time I've seen my son's street performance, and it's a magical show like crosstalk. It's really magical, but don't say that this trick is really effective against grandpas and aunts."
'Ye Zi actually wants to go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables. Does she know how to buy vegetables at the vegetable market? My God, the vegetable vendors at the vegetable market are not easy to deal with. If you don't know the price of vegetables, you will be ripped off in a minute! She only has 20 yuan! '
'The production team is really a rip-off. They only gave 20 yuan but asked eight people to show their dishes. It's almost like they sold the leaves, but compared to Xu Longze's street performance, it seems to have a lot more funny effects.'
'Are those who say our son has no special skills joking? Crosstalk is also called a special skill, but it's not something that ordinary people can have just because they want it.'
'I just saw Bai Sheng and his friends digging wild vegetables, and I almost died of laughter. If they couldn't recognize them, they just picked them all. There's nothing wrong with their logic, it's very smooth, hahahaha, Ye Zi and the others will be exhausted later. '
"Seeing Bai Sheng and the others picking wild vegetables is like seeing myself being taken out by my mother to help pick wild vegetables. Don't these vegetables all look the same?"
As soon as Shi Feiye entered the vegetable market, he looked at the divisions first, and then muttered to himself:
"We definitely need some vegetables, and then we need some starchy foods. We can buy meat after Xiaoze and the others finish their performances and earn money, but staple foods are the most important."
Qin Buzhu believed that Shi Feiye must have a plan in mind: "What is your plan?"
"We should buy vegetables last, so they will be fresher." Shi Feiye pulled Qin Buju directly to the starchy vegetable section, "Let's buy something else first."
When Shi Feiye started buying the first item, potatoes, everyone knew how she did it:
"Auntie, if I can help you get ten customers to buy these potatoes, can you sell them to me at a lower price?"
The potato-selling auntie's eyes widened when she saw Shi Feiye: "Oh my god, little girl, you are so pretty, and your boyfriend is so handsome too. Did you go out without any money? It's okay, it's okay, auntie can give you some for free."
Shi Feiye shook his head: "No, no, that doesn't comply with our regulations, and you will lose money, wait for me to help you attract customers, then you can sell me two or three kilograms cheaper."
The aunt probably saw the camera and nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, no problem. If you can attract more customers, I won't mind giving it to you for free."
Shi Feiye smiled happily, then went to a bunch of shops following the same method and basically got positive answers from all of them.
When all the things he needed were available and someone agreed to sell them at a low price, Shi Feiye ran to the entrance of the vegetable market, asked the guard for a wooden board, wrote words like "Discount group purchase starting at 10% off" on it, and started shouting.
She was beautiful and was the most eye-catching one in the crowd. Now she started shouting and soon a crowd of people gathered around her.
During the whole process, Qin Bu Ru shouted along with her, but it actually acted as a cooling agent, making those who originally came for Shi Feiye's beauty dare not act rashly.
After Shi Feiye asked everyone what they wanted to buy and calculated the approximate proportions, he waved his hand and started leading everyone to the vegetable market.
The whole trip was like a tour guide leading tourists. They visited all the shops that had been agreed upon before one by one. Everyone bought cheap vegetables, and Shi Feiye also bought everything he wanted according to the prices he had in mind.
After visiting the last shop, everyone asked to take a group photo. Shi Feiye and Qin Buzhu cooperated in taking photos, which finally persuaded everyone to leave.
Of course, there were people who recognized Shi Feiye and the others while they were recording a show and wanted to join in, but they were all cleverly resolved by Shi Feiye. It was rare that she was able to maintain order, achieve her goal and get everyone on board without wasting time.
After spending twenty yuan to get bags full of vegetables, Shi Feiye and Qin Buzhu carried the vegetables to the door to find Xu Long and blame them.
Xu Longze and the others had just finished their performance. They earned more than two hundred yuan from their half-hour performance, which Shi Feiye used to buy the rest of the things they needed. The four of them finally finished everything and could go home.
As soon as he got on the car, Xu Longze couldn't help shouting: "Did you see it? Did you see it? Even if one day I can't be an artist anymore, I can still support my family by performing on the streets. What my grandfather said is true. Crosstalk is useful."
Hua Xi couldn't stand it any longer and pushed him back to his seat: "Can you please stop making trouble? You have been patient all this time, and finally you are showing off now. Why don't you say that you were so dry-mouthed and almost hoarse from talking just now?"
After saying that, he ignored Xu Longze and couldn't help but ask Shi Feiye out of curiosity: "Sister Ye, how did you manage to buy so many things with only 20 yuan?"
After being asked this question, Xu Longze could no longer care about showing off. He was also curious: "Yes, yes, the things you bought must be worth more than 200 yuan. How did you buy more than 200 yuan worth of things with 20 yuan? It doesn't make sense at all. Did you also go to perform for money?"
Shi Feiye told them what he had just done, which in turn earned him astonished expressions from Hua Xi and Xu Longze.
Xu Longzi held back a sentence for a long time: "As expected, she is the woman that the boss likes. She is also a hidden boss!"
Hua Xi clasped her hands together and looked at Shi Feiye with starry eyes: "Sister Ye, you are amazing. I have only seen this kind of thing in movies, but you can actually replicate it in real life. It's amazing. If this happened to you and Qiu, you would have no food to eat in your life. It's a good thing you didn't go into business, otherwise you would definitely become a wealthy woman."
Not only do they think Shi Feiye is amazing, the audience thinks so too:
"Ye Zi should be the first girl to do business on the show, right? The key is that she actually succeeded. This kind of practice of getting people to buy things in exchange for resources is the first time I have seen a real version."
"Ye Zi only got old men and women, which reduced her star aura a lot. In other words, she got the dish today entirely by her own strength. If it were someone else, the program crew would probably find excuses to deduct money from her. It seems that she thought about these problems early on. How smart!"
"I think the most amazing thing about Ye Zi is that she doesn't take her reputation seriously at all. As a young lady from a wealthy family, she actually solicits customers on the street and is happy doing it. This is really down-to-earth!"
