Chapter 113 A Unique Vegetable Picking Journey (Part 1)
When Yunxi saw that the director wasn't speaking, he thought that his performance was a little lacking, so he quickly moved closer to him.
"Director, I just want a sip of soup, I absolutely have no intention of taking your money, so please take me under your wing. I want to get rich quick, I want to retire." Yunxi clasped her hands together, her eyes filled with longing for money.
The director's expression gradually turned ferocious as Yunxi spoke.
"No, nothing at all. You'd better hurry up and get ready to go buy groceries." The director uttered these words coldly before turning and leaving. He felt no affection whatsoever for the guests on this variety show today. Do not disturb, thank you.
"What's wrong with him?" Yunxi asked, standing behind him with a puzzled look on her face.
"He might not be willing to take you along." Jiang Xiubai's words almost made the director, who was about to walk out the door, trip over his own leg.
[Haha, this is hilarious! The director was completely taken aback by the question.]
The guests preferred to believe the director had made a fortune rather than that the director had given it to them voluntarily.
[It can only be said that the director's image is just too deeply ingrained in people's minds.]
[Haha, I think the director's back teeth were about to shatter.]
[By the way, don't you guys think some of the teachers in the cooking group looked a bit serious?]
[I saw it. Could it be that they don't know how to cook?]
[Impossible, absolutely impossible. Putting everything else aside, both President Pei and Old Hou are excellent cooks, exuding husbandly charm.]
What made them all so serious?
[Since it wasn't because of cooking, it must be because of grocery shopping.]
………………
Pei Yanchuan is indeed a bit troubled right now. Instead of telling Xu Wang he was going to buy groceries, he should just say he was going to buy meat.
After Jiang Xiubai and Yunxi finished speaking, they turned around and were met with three solemn faces.
"Oh my!" Jiang Xiubai was so startled that she took a step back.
It was only then that Pei Yanchuan realized he had two fellow sufferers by his side.
"You guys?" Pei Yanchuan frowned even more deeply. He was hoping that they would buy more vegetables.
"You haven't seen my wife buying groceries, the scene is indescribable." Gu Yunlan sighed deeply. God help me, everyone else must buy more meat, I don't want to eat a completely vegetarian meal.
Pei Yanchuan turned to look at Hou Yunqi.
Hou Yunqi's expression became even more bitter: "I can only say that what his partner bought is still edible, but whether my partner can even eat what he bought is a question."
So what's wrong with your partner? Gu Yunlan and Hou Yunqi both looked at Pei Yanchuan.
Pei Yanchuan remained expressionless. How should he answer? Should he say he was worried about the ingredients being too monotonous, consisting entirely of meat? It seemed like this wasn't even a problem in their eyes.
Seeing that Pei Yanchuan remained silent, Gu Yunlan and Hou Yunqi did not press him further, but simply dismissed Xu Wang from their hopes.
[Haha, what to do? Looking at their serious expressions, I suddenly feel a little excited (sunglasses).]
[What scene haven't I witnessed? Today I'll try to experience what it's like to see my sister-in-law buying groceries.]
[Is there something you, Mr. Pei, find difficult to say?]
[Let's get going, I can't wait!]
[Go, go, go!]
………………
Xu Wang and the others followed the assistant director to the entrance of the guesthouse. Just when they thought they were going to ride in that float again, they suddenly realized that there was no familiar float in front of the guesthouse, only a row of shared bicycles.
"Now I finally understand why the director was so generous today. It turns out the money was saved from other places." Xu Wang had an "I see" look on his face.
The others around Xu Wang nodded in agreement.
Xu Wang put his phone away, turned on the phone's location services, and then got on his bicycle.
The vegetable market on Moon Island is located in the same place as the pier, very close to it.
Xu Wang and his friends rode bicycles along the mountain road. On the other side of the road was the boundless sea, with fishing boats moored on the shore.
When the group arrived at their destination, they discovered that there were just too many people there, not only buying vegetables but also selling them.
Even before we arrived at the market, on the small road near it, elderly men and women had already set up stalls and started selling their wares.
As Xu Wang entered the market, a blast of cold air hit him, and the cool breeze from the air conditioner inside successfully washed away the heat.
The market here is divided into small square stalls, with four vendors on each stall.
"This place is too big. Why don't we split up and divide the money into five portions, 2,000 yuan each? After we've bought everything, we can meet up here again to go back," Qin Huai suggested, looking around.
"good."
"Can."
"I'm fine."
"good."
After everyone agreed, Qin Huai divided the money into five portions and distributed them to the group.
After receiving the funds, Xu Wang went straight to the fresh produce section at the back of the vegetable market without any hesitation.
The meat here is all freshly slaughtered by the owner that day. Xu Wang is very experienced in buying meat; he has a keen eye and selects only the best cuts, so the prices are naturally not cheap.
After buying all kinds of meat, his money was almost half gone in no time.
[She seems perfectly normal so far.]
[Next, I guess I'll have to go buy vegetables.]
[So what is President Pei worried about?]
Just when all the fans and viewers in the live broadcast room thought Xu Wang was going to buy vegetables, Xu Wang left the vegetable market and headed straight for the dock.
The dock was filled with all kinds of seafood, and the prices here were much cheaper than inland.
Of course, some seafood vendors wanted to rip off Xu Wang, but Xu Wang always quoted the lowest price they had in mind, no more and no less, which was just right.
The seafood vendor was completely stunned by the price cuts and after a long standoff, he finally had no choice but to agree.
"Sir, I'm impressed. This price is a steal. Let me help you get it."
"No need, I can do it myself." Xu Wang stopped the other person and took the bag from their hand.
Xu Wang simply waved his hand to open the bag, and the next second, under the watchful eyes of everyone present and viewers in the live stream, he put his hand directly into the crab bucket in front of him.
The seafood vendor and the surrounding customers were utterly shocked.
[OMG!]
[Is this right? Is this really right? So many crabs, and he just casually reached his hand in? (horrified)]
[I was just grabbing those people tied up, and I hesitated for ages, but he just put his hand in without batting an eye?]
[Our mighty wife is back online.]
[Does Mr. Pei know what you're saying? @Mr. Pei, you're welcome. (Sunglasses)]
[Hahaha. ]
Xu Wang swiftly grabbed the fattest and fiercest one in the bucket.
The ferocious crab bared its fangs and claws in Xu Wang's hands, but it couldn't harm him in the slightest.
"Not bad, plump enough." Xu Wang glanced at it briefly and tossed the crab into the bag.
A tourist who was having other guys pick up crabs for him looked at the half-dead crab in the hand of the guy in front of him, and the air seemed to freeze between the two of them.
"Hey lady, how about I pick it up again for you? Or I can give you a discount of a few dollars?"
Every single one that Xu Wang caught was not only large, but also lively and fresh.
The boss stood to the side, holding a scale, his heart pounding.
Xu Wang picked out two large squid, several kilograms of mantis shrimp, tiger prawns, crabs, and abalone, and quickly spent all the money in his hand.
Xu Wang looked at the bag in his hand with great satisfaction, turned around and walked towards the meeting place, showing no intention of continuing to shop around.
[So, are you still buying groceries?]
My wife bought mostly meat.
Looking around, there wasn't a trace of green in the bag Xu Wang was carrying.
[Xu Wang and Qin Huai are really going in opposite directions, how can this not be considered balanced? (covers mouth and chuckles)]
[This is amazing; it's the first time I've ever seen someone buy groceries based on calories.]
[Family members, please stop talking. Xia Yu's behavior is even more outrageous.]
………………
After Qin Huai separated from the team, the first place he went was the vegetable section. Without thinking, he started stuffing the green vegetables into his baskets, and soon he had filled three baskets.
After buying the vegetables, Qin Huai looked at the other ingredients in the market and silently took out his phone. Whenever he wanted to buy an ingredient, he would check its calories on his phone. If it was too high, he would pass on it; if it was too low, he would buy it without hesitation.
[After seeing this, all I can say is that Gu Ying's weight loss is definitely all thanks to his wife.]
[Write this down, write this down! Those of you trying to lose weight are in luck! From now on, just buy groceries like this, and you won't gain any weight!]
[You should be secretly thrilled that Actor Gu managed to marry your sister-in-law.]
