Chapter 134 The Exorbitantly Priced Drinks Reappear!
Led by the program crew, Xu Wang and his group arrived at the back mountain of the village, where a vast expanse of fruit trees stretched as far as the eye could see.
Some fruit trees bear golden mangoes, some bear bright red pomegranates, and others are laden with bunches of pink lychees.
A path was left in the middle of the fruit trees to go down the mountain. Many villagers carried two baskets of fruit on shoulder poles or carried a basket of fruit on their backs. Sweat soaked their hair and streamed down their faces.
Wow, what a magnificent orchard!
The fruit grown here looks so sweet, it must be delicious (drooling)
[Lychees! Lychees are so expensive here, this place is practically lychee paradise!]
[The villagers are working so hard carrying basket after basket of fruit. Don't they have any workers or machinery to help them?]
[There's no other way. Some orchards don't make much money, especially those where they can't sell their produce. If you then have to pay people to help, it's like working for nothing all year.]
[Help! I really don't understand why the supermarket charges a higher price for the same type of fruit, even though it's sold in a separate section.]
[Please feed me these fruits, thank you, ah (ball throws).]
………………
Xu Wang and the others were each given a basket.
Xu Wang and Pei Yanchuan walked to a mango tree, where the villagers explained to them which fruits they could pick. Only after seeing that the two understood did they continue their work.
Xu Wang put the mangoes he had picked into the basket. As time slowly passed, the sunlight grew stronger.
Xu Wang looked at the mango tree in front of him, gently pushed himself up with both hands, and jumped onto the trunk of the mango tree.
Pei Yanchuan slightly raised his head and looked at Xu Wang in the tree with concern.
Xu Wang planted his feet firmly on the tree trunk, with his back also pressed against a thick tree trunk, securing his body firmly in the middle of the tree.
Xu Wang smiled and waved to Pei Yanchuan: "I'm fine, don't worry."
Seeing that Xu Wang was standing steadily and that the tree was indeed not very tall, Pei Yanchuan continued picking mangoes from his hands.
As Xu Wang picked mangoes from the branches, he suddenly thought of his childhood. When he was a child, he would climb fruit trees to play, and when he was hungry, he would just pick one, wipe it on his clothes, and eat it.
After picking mangoes for a while, Xu Wang looked at his hands full of them and felt a little troubled. Suddenly, he thought of a solution: he tucked the front of his clothes forward, and that created a space for the mangoes.
Xu Wang smiled with satisfaction, then continued picking mangoes from the top of the tree.
The cameraman was filming the two of them under the tree, and when Xu Wang casually lifted his shirt, the comment section exploded.
[！！！]
[My wife has abs!!!]
[Wow, cameraman, forget about President Pei right now, just keep the camera steady.]
[I'm not stopping until my hand cramps up from all the cutting today, buddy, hang in there.]
[I can't take it anymore, I really have to be Pei's sworn enemy.]
[President Pei, the enmity for stealing my wife is irreconcilable.]
[I glanced silently at my soft belly and begged Xu Wang to provide a tutorial.]
Pei Yanchuan didn't keep picking fruit; he would glance at Xu Wang in the tree every now and then to make sure he was safe.
Just as he looked up again, he froze completely.
Pei Yanchuan looked at the camera next to him and reached out to press the lens.
The live stream went black instantly.
[？？？]
[Let go! Ahhhhh!]
[President Pei, you lack martial ethics.]
The comment section of the live stream was filled with long rows of question marks.
Seeing this, the assistant director, who was watching the live broadcast from the village chief's house, looked at the director beside him and asked, "Boss, should we do something about this?"
"Can you handle this?" the director asked rhetorically, resting his chin on his right hand.
The assistant director thought about it and realized that there was really nothing he could do about it, after all, President Pei was their biggest financial backer.
The assistant director understood and turned away, remaining silent. He decided to check the other live streams first.
Pei Yanchuan took a step forward, firmly blocking the camera behind him.
"Xiao Wang," Pei Yanchuan called out gently as he looked up.
"What's wrong?" Upon hearing Pei Yanchuan's voice, Xu Wang immediately hugged the mangoes in his arms and carefully jumped down from the tree.
Pei Yanchuan watched as the person in front of him poured the mangoes from his arms into a basket, instantly raising the basket's height considerably.
"Nothing, just wanted to ask if you were thirsty." Pei Yanchuan smiled and looked at Xu Wang.
“There is a little, but it seems there’s no water here.” Xu Wang looked around; the villagers all brought their own water.
"Yes, yes." Upon hearing this, a crew member wearing a blue uniform rushed over, carrying a large wooden box to his chest. His blue uniform had four very eye-catching characters printed on it: Shopping Store.
Very good, you can tell at a glance that they were sent by the director.
"Teachers, please take a look and see what kind of water you would like. I have chilled mineral water, lemonade, soda, and juice here," a staff member from the production crew said, opening the wooden box in front of them.
The wooden crate was insulated and filled with a large layer of ice, through which various beverages were faintly visible.
[Director, you're absolutely amazing.]
[The director won't let go of any opportunity to make a penny.]
[This actually looks pretty good; the ice hasn't melted much.]
[Breaking news! Outrageously priced drinks are back!]
[I wonder if this price is surprising?]
Xu Wang had also thought of the astonishing price of the first phase, so instead of taking the water directly, he asked about the price.
"Don't worry, teacher. The director has lowered the price this time. You can take a look at the price list." The staff member handed Xu Wang the price list rolled up in his pocket.
Xu Wang opened the price list in his hand with great anticipation.
Pei Yanchuan stood beside Xu Wang and looked down.
The two looked at the prices on the watch and their lips twitched slightly. Mineral water was 19 yuan, lemonade was 79 yuan, and other drinks were 199 yuan. So you only reduced the price by one yuan?
