CHAPTER 54: CHAPTER 54: MONEY WASTED?

The three of them fell silent in an instant, "..."

Yang Leqi, pretending not to notice, boasted a little, "How much did you guys make? It should be more than us, right? We worked hard for an hour to earn just this little. We were tired and hungry just now, so Mr. Pei felt sorry for us girls and took us to eat before we came back."

As soon as the three heard the question about how much they had made, they felt like an arrow had struck their hearts.

The kind where the blood doesn’t even come out.

Before they could answer, Yang Leqi asked again, "By the way, did you have lunch?"

Bam, another arrow struck in.

At this time, the live stream cheerfully answered for them.

[Hahaha, I know the answer to this one, they made over sixty, and to save money, they haven’t had lunch yet!!]

[Hahahaha, are they really saving money? They’re just afraid that eating would make them less than the brother’s group, and wanted to eat after they came back. But they didn’t sell as much as the end of the other group. They might as well have had lunch and at least filled their stomachs.]

[Did they have food? The other group ate their meat! Holding back laughter.jpg]

[Hahaha, there is no harm without comparison!]

[2333333, this wealth gap is too big! Hahaha, I was worried they’d sell out first, but the twist came so fast it’s like a bullet train couldn’t catch up. It’s so satisfying.]

[Hahaha, my silly boys, just go have lunch, whether you eat or not doesn’t make much difference now.]

[There’s still a difference, if you eat, at least there’s something in your stomach. If not, there’s no money in your pocket and nothing in your stomach.]

[Hahaha, you guys are really taking all the bamboo shoots from the mountain!!!]

"Why aren’t you guys talking?" Yang Leqi waited for a while and, not getting an answer, asked in confusion.

[Girl, what do you want them to say? That you’re scaring them into a shutdown? Hahaha, taking the bamboo shoots!]

[The girl has grown up, she even has her little schemes now.]

[Ahhh, girl, join more variety shows in the future! You’ve got a great variety sense!]

[Ahhhh, what to do, I really can’t wait for this show to air, when is it going to start?]

[I’ve cleaned my keyboard, kneeling and begging for it to start airing!!]

[A blood petition from one person begging to air!]

[Begging +10086 for it to start!]

"Can you guys tell us how you managed to sell so much?" Chen Yao sighed and asked helplessly.

"Mr. Pei took us to find a lady who pushes a tricycle to sell popcorn. We used her machine to make popcorn from corn kernels, sold it, and split the profits with her. Later, there were too many fans, and the corn was not enough. The fans brought their own corn and tricycle. Mr. Pei was in charge of making popcorn, and we packed and sold it." After Yang Leqi finished speaking, she turned around to find that Qin Yun and Pei Yan were already sitting on the sofa, somehow got themselves a cup of coffee.

"Ah, then our loss is understandable. We never even thought of that way..." Wang Sirui wailed.

After that, he immediately started complaining, "Do you know? We worked so hard and only made a little over sixty, not even enough for your change! We thought selling it a bit expensive would let us win. Plus, to save money, we haven’t even had lunch yet, thinking maybe we could at least compare a bit. But!! We’re still at the starting line, while you all have already reached Rome!!"

Yang Leqi laughed so hard she directly leaned on Qin Yun. This is just too pitiful.

Sister Yun sure has good judgment!! Knows to stick with Mr. Pei!!

Luckily, she didn’t join their group because if she did...

Oh dear, imagining that kind of misery for herself makes her feel emmmmm...

Forget it, she can’t even think about it, this picture shouldn’t even be imagined!!

Hug Sister Yun and Mr. Pei’s thighs tight, and never let go!!

"Now we can go have lunch confidently. Anyway, we don’t need to compare to know we’ve already lost." Wang Sirui gave up, tugging on Chen Yao and Qin Hao beside him.

"Cough, there’s another way, you can borrow from us or Mr. Pei." Seeing that Wang Sirui’s group was considering giving up before the next round even started, the director quickly spoke up.

"No borrowing, we have to pay it back if we borrow, and we don’t have money." Chen Yao had already seen through the show’s setup and immediately declined.

The production team exchanged looks, ahem, well...

The main thing is, even the director’s team didn’t expect Pei Yan’s team to earn so much.

Everyone had the same weight to sell, but their earnings are worlds apart, you can’t blame the production for that.

Who would have thought?

But the next segment has to go on, it can’t get stuck here.

So, the director’s group began discussing how best to proceed.

"How about this, Mr. Pei can put up five hundred. To make up for your five hundred loss, we can let you have a chance to pick a person once. If you’ve picked the right person, the next segment will be as easy as pie for you. But if you choose wrong, then you’ll be pretty much on your own," the director suggested.

Pei Yan glanced at Qin Yun, and both Qin Yun and Yang Leqi nodded in agreement.

With three votes in favor, Pei Yan then said, "Okay, we agree."

Pei Yan handed over five hundred to Chen Yao.

The director then moved on to announce the task for the next segment, "Everyone, please look at the screen."

On the screen, there were a total of 25 vegetable names. Some could be guessed, but most of them were unheard of.

There were five vegetable names horizontally and vertically:

Potato, corn, lettuce, bok choy, mallow

Turnip, cabbage, squash, winter melon, ace cucumber

Cowpea, spinach, amaranth, sweet potato, baby bok choy

Sponge gourd, snap beans, winged beans, young pumpkin, yellow pumpkin

Snow pea tips, fish mint, romaine lettuce, tomato, tough vegetable

"There are 25 vegetables on the screen in total. Horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, as long as you get five in a row first, the team wins," the director explained.

"But we don’t know how to cook at all, let alone recognize these vegetables," Wang Sirui complained.

"That’s precisely why you need to go buy them," the director smiled meaningfully.

The director’s team quickly brought in three people, "These three individuals each come from different provinces, and only one can recognize all these vegetables. Mr. Pei, please choose who you would like to accompany you."

The three: "..."

No wonder the director is being so generous, he’s planning to give them what seems like a cheat.

However!!!

This cheat could be either a real cheat or a false one.

When Wang Sirui saw the three, he immediately understood what the director meant, and he burst into laughter.

Mr. Pei’s five hundred is essentially wasted.
