Love Variety Show (9)
Boys eat a lot, so six dishes for eight people is definitely not enough. Add in rice and fruit, and after the meal, there's probably not much money left.
"Let's solve the problem of food and clothing first. Forget about saving money. The most important thing is that everyone has enough food."
"Aunt Mei is right." Ruan Qi nodded in agreement. "Let's talk about tomorrow's matters tomorrow. Everyone's been tired all day, so let's have a good meal first."
Si Lin: "Where should we buy the ingredients? Is there a supermarket or market nearby?"
Everyone looked at the program crew.
The host, Xiao Yuan, smiled and handed over a map he had prepared. "Because this place is close to the sea, the amenities aren't very complete. The nearest supermarket is a half-hour walk away. You can look at the map to familiarize yourself with the route."
The program crew was very considerate and marked the location of the supermarket on the map——
It's at least five miles away from here, completely out of reach.
Everyone couldn't help but feel dizzy.
"Why is it so far? It takes half an hour to walk? Can we take a taxi?"
"Sure." Xiao Yuan replied to Si Lin with a smile, "Everyone can choose their own means of transportation, but you will need to pay for it yourself."
What this means is that you can take a taxi, but the fare will be deducted from the one hundred yuan.
Guests: “…”
"Let me ask, is it expensive to take a taxi here?" Ji Beibei raised her hand weakly.
Xiao Yuan: "It's not expensive, the starting price is nine yuan. If there's no traffic, it'll only be about twelve yuan from here to the supermarket."
Twelve yuan is not expensive at normal times.
But each group of guests only had one hundred yuan.
In this way, the twelve yuan fare is a huge expense for everyone.
"We can walk or take a shared bike when we go there, but the problem is what to do when we get back. We bought a lot of things, and we can't just carry them all back with us, right?"
Shi Su hit the nail on the head.
To feed eight people, they must have bought a lot of food. With so much food, it's impossible to walk back.
Si Lin thought for a moment and suggested, "We can walk there and take a taxi back. Let the four girls take the taxi and bring the food back first. The men can just walk back. What do you think?"
That’s a good suggestion.
Men have good physical strength and will not be too tired even if they walk a little longer. Letting the four female guests take a taxi back with the ingredients can not only save some of the taxi fare, but also solve the problem of the difficulty in carrying the ingredients.
"I think this is a good idea." Shi Su nodded, "I just don't know if Mr. Xi and Mr. Jiang..."
Before he could finish his words, Jiang Hengda, who was sitting on the sofa with a sour face, suddenly interrupted him.
"I don't agree with this idea," Jiang Hengda said with a sullen face. "Everyone's been doing housework and push-ups all morning. What if they're exhausted? I think we should take a taxi to the supermarket and then take another taxi back."
This confusing statement filled the commentary with question marks.
[??? Is Mr. Jiang okay? How much would it cost to take a taxi there and back?]
[Doing housework and push-ups all morning? I think Jiang Hengda only did about 20 push-ups. Can he be exhausted from that?]
Lan Lan cleaned up their house, and Jiang Hengda was busy arguing with the production crew. How could he be tired? He was more energetic than anyone else when he was scolding the production crew.
[If you can't stand the hardship, don't come to the show. Who are you trying to show off to?]
Jiang Hengda's remarks once again aroused public anger.
The guests didn't expect him to object, and for a moment they didn't know how to respond.
Seeing that no one was talking, Jiang Hengda's expression softened a bit. He raised his eyebrows and said, "It seems that everyone thinks what I said makes sense. After all, everyone is here to travel, not to suffer. A taxi is only a dozen yuan. Oh, by the way, I remember the production team gave Miss Ruan an extra 200 yuan, right?"
Jiang Hengda was talking about the two hundred yuan that Xi Jiu won by doing push-ups.
Ruan Qi glanced at him calmly: "Jiujiu did win two hundred yuan, is there any problem?"
Jiang Hengda: "Ms. Ruan, don't be nervous. I don't mean anything special. I just think that since you have so much money, spending an extra ten or twenty dollars shouldn't be a big deal, right? After all, we are all family, and it's only natural to help each other."
[Goodness me! This Jiang guy has even resorted to moral blackmail?!]
[Who says you're one of us?! I earned my money through my own hard work, so why should I spend it on you? How dare you be so shameless!]
[He doesn't want to suffer any hardship himself, so he goes out of his way to help others? Is Jiang Hengda crazy?]
Everyone was stunned by Jiang Hengda's shamelessness.
The guests all had expressions that were hard to describe, and even the good-tempered Ruan Qi couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Mr. Jiang said it very well. Indeed, we are all family, and helping each other is our duty."
Jiang Hengda's face lit up when he heard Ruan Qi say this. But before he could say anything, Ruan Qi added, "Since it's natural for us to help each other, Mr. Jiang shouldn't have dinner tonight. This will also help everyone save some money."
The smile on Jiang Hengda's face froze instantly.
"...What does Miss Ruan mean?"
"What I mean is, since Mr. Jiang wants everyone to help each other, why don't you set an example first?" Ruan Qi said nonchalantly, taking a sip of warm water. "You didn't use much energy today anyway, so it shouldn't be a problem to eat less tonight. We can use the money you saved on meals to take a taxi. This can be considered as Mr. Jiang helping everyone else."
From the recording of the show to now, Ruan Qi has always behaved like a sweet, soft and good-tempered little girl.
Jiang Hengda even forgot that the person in front of him was not just a little girl, but a big boss who was famous in China, and the treasure of the Ruan and Xi families.
And now, Ruan Qi showed her brilliance.
Jiang Hengda, who had just wanted to take advantage, suddenly woke up, cold sweat broke out on his face, and his whole body was stiff.
"Ha...haha, Miss Ruan really knows how to joke..."
"It's okay, not as humorous as Mr. Jiang." Ruan Qi was too lazy to pay attention to him anymore, and turned to Xi Jiu and said, "Jiujiu, I'm a little hungry."
Xi Jiu had been silent until now, but when he heard the little girl complaining about being hungry, he immediately spoke up, "If everyone has no objection, let's proceed as planned. We'll walk to the supermarket, and then the four girls will take a taxi back with the food. It's already three o'clock, let's go."
Xi Jiu made the final decision and no one dared to object.
The group rushed out of the house. Even Jiang Hengda was afraid of Xi Jiu's status and followed behind reluctantly.
Half an hour later, everyone walked to the largest supermarket nearby.
There were not many people in the supermarket at this time. After Ruan Qi and his group found the shopping cart, they went straight to the fresh vegetable area.
"What does everyone want to eat?"
"I'm fine with anything." Shi Su glanced at the vegetable section and held out his hand. "Xiaomei likes green pepper and potato chips. Take a few potatoes."
Hearing this, Ge Mei smiled and said, "Don't just think about me, pick out a few of your favorites."
Except for Jiang Hengda and Lan Lan, the other three groups of guests all care about each other.
Xi Jiu rushed all the way to the destination and threw Ruan Qi's favorite ingredients into the shopping cart without thinking.
Seeing that the shopping cart was one-third full, Ruan Qi quickly grabbed Xi Jiu's hand and said, "Jiujiu, that's enough. I can't eat that much."
"Then have it as a midnight snack tonight." Xi Jiu pulled his hand out of her palm, took another steak and threw it into the shopping cart. "You are weak and need to eat more. Don't worry, baby, we have enough money."
Three hundred yuan is more than enough for two people to eat for a whole day as long as they don’t buy seafood.
But Ruan Qi was thinking about Xi Jiu, and couldn't help but say: "Jiujiu, I've really had enough to eat. Can you buy some of your favorite food?"
Xi Jiu had no preference for food and said to the little girl, "Whatever you like, I like. Now that we've bought the meat, what kind of fruit would you like, baby? Strawberries? And snacks, would ice cream and potato chips be ok?"
Xi Jiu seemed to be asking, but in fact he had already quickly picked up a box of strawberries and threw it into the car.
Then, oranges, bananas, peaches, potato chips, ice cream, cupcakes... As long as Ruan Qi liked it, he threw it all into the shopping cart without even looking.
Ruan Qi felt that every time Xi Jiu picked up something, a "-10 yuan" sign would appear above his head. Countless "-10 yuan" signs accumulated, and three hundred yuan vanished in the blink of an eye.
Ruan Qi felt extremely distressed, and while Xi Jiu wasn't paying attention, she secretly took out the items from the shopping cart and put them back on the shelf.
But Xi Jiu had a good memory. When he saw that there was less stuff in the shopping cart, he immediately returned to the shelf and put the things back in.
This went on and on, and the couple was like they were having a secret war, going back and forth and having a lot of fun.
The netizens in the live broadcast room were almost laughing to death.
[Ruan Qi: This spendthrift man only knows how to spend money recklessly!]
[Ruan Qi: I can’t buy all of them. I can’t buy all of them at all!]
Am I the only one who noticed that Mr. Xi buys only Soft Baby's favorite foods? Wow, they're so sweet!
The disciplinary team and the elderly couple are also very sweet, and they both care about each other. Only the Jiang Hengda and Lan Lan team is so sweet that it makes my breasts grow!
Jiang Hengda only cared about buying his own food and even let Lan Lan push the shopping cart. Can this scumbag please get off this show?!
[Don't mention unlucky people. Look! What did Mr. Xi put in the shopping cart again?]
Ruan Qi also noticed Xi Jiu's actions.
She rummaged through the shopping cart and pulled out three—
"Lollipop?"
Or in the shape of a bunny?
The little girl opened her eyes wide and looked at Xi Jiu: "Is this also bought for me?"
Xi Jiu said 'hmm'.
"You are weak and prone to hypoglycemia."
Ruan Qi: "...then you can buy a normal-shaped lollipop."
"Rabbit is cute." Xi Jiu curled his lips and pinched her cheek, "It looks like a baby."
Ruan Qi: “…”
The little girl's face suddenly turned red.
She glanced at the lens, then turned her head away, opened her eyes wide and secretly glared at Xi Jiu.
Just like an angry little bunny.
Xi Jiu looked at her and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
"Don't be angry, baby." He bent down and kissed the corner of her lips. "I'll make you something delicious when I get home, dear."
"Ahhhhhhh! Did I just kiss you? I'm gone! So sweet! So sweet!"
[Don't be angry, dear... Oh my god, Master Xi, how could you be so flirtatious! ]
[The angry Soft Baby is so cute, just as adorable and sweet as the bunny lollipop!]
See you tomorrow~
