Chapter 123 Transmigrating and Encountering the "Gossip System" (Online 9)
Meanwhile, Zhao Kai and Zhang Hanyu were doing manual labor. Zhao Kai put on waterproof clothing and went down into the pond to pull the nets with the villagers.
Walking in the water is already not very stable, and when the fishing net is full of fish, it is even more difficult to pull them out. It is not yet the end of the year, and the pond owner is only cooperating with the program team to release some of the big fish, while the rest will be released back into the pond to continue to be raised.
So it wasn't as convenient as clearing the pond at the end of the year, so it took three nets to catch 200 big fish and about 100 crucian carp weighing over a pound each.
The big fish was brought directly from the village by the fishmonger, and the crucian carp was sold to Zhao Kai and Zhang Hanyu in town in the afternoon. Zhang Hanyu couldn't go into the water, so she picked up a lot of snails on the shore. The village children gave her half a bucket of loaches, which startled her at the time.
This thing is unsettling for people with trypophobia. One good thing about them is that they had lunch with their host family before going to town. Neither of them knew how to drive a tricycle, so their host family drove them to town.
Crucian carp were 10 yuan per jin (500g). The pond was newly built, so the fish were all fresh, and there weren't many in total. They sold out in just over an hour. Back in the village, after receiving 300 yuan as payment, and carrying the small bucket of snails, loach, and two crucian carp given to them by their employer, the two of them went to town.
Loach and snails can't be eaten at night; they need to purge themselves of impurities for two days. So, they only have crucian carp for dinner. However, they have a lot of money. Since Zhao Kai doesn't know how to make noodles, they only bought five jin of rice and a bag of whole-cut bread. For vegetables, they bought two jin of ribs, two jin of eggs, two jin of tomatoes, one jin of green peppers, two jin of potatoes, one head of lettuce, and a bunch of bok choy, spending a total of 135 yuan.
They discussed keeping the remaining money, since it was a month's worth of work, and if they didn't complete the task one day, they wouldn't go hungry.
As for the pairing of Liu Yingdi and Wang Xiyi, that's hilarious. Wang Xiyi doesn't want people to say she's trying to ride on Liu Yingdi's coattails, and besides, if something about Liu Yingdi comes out, what will people say about her then?
Liu, the movie star, knew that Wang Xiyi knew about his past, and he wanted to ask her what he should do. However, he didn't know how to bring it up.
The two of them were preoccupied with their own thoughts, so they didn't communicate much.
The comments section read: "Even the goddess of variety shows has given up on my movie star, Liu?"
"How did a movie star end up like this?"
"Does anyone still want him? To be honest, although I'm a fan of Actor Liu, if he's like this in real life, I'm afraid I couldn't live with him!"
"Same here, they can only be idols, not imaginary partners!"
"Please, please, some kind-hearted sister, take him in!"
When they arrived at the village's pig farm, thankfully it was now all about scientific farming, not the primitive kind of pigsty that they had imagined, where you had to clean it with a shovel.
Inside a large factory building were separate pigsties, each with a different number of pigs. Their task was to clean each pigsty for one hundred yuan.
Seeing the high-pressure water gun handed over by the factory manager, Wang Xiyi laughed heartily: "This time we're going to crush them!" She was so proud of herself that even the movie star Liu had a smile on his face.
The two changed into waterproof suits. When cleaning the pigsty, they also had to clean the pigs inside. The water guns used to rinse the pigs and the pigsty had different settings, which they quickly mastered. However, the pigs could run away, and they would dodge when you sprayed them, so it was still quite time-consuming.
Both of them tried to clean pigsties with fewer pigs, but after a whole morning, each of them had only cleaned three pigsties to a satisfactory standard.
Barrage
"A classic case: they can talk about it but can't actually do it!"
"For your first attempt, this is already quite good!"
"I usually get so tired from washing my car that I'm panting and out of breath! They're amazing!"
The two were so exhausted that they had no energy left. Wang Xiyi could barely lift her arms. The third pigsty was only cleaned with the help of Liu Yingdi, otherwise she would have given up.
After handing over their task to the factory manager and receiving 600 yuan, the two took a bus back to "Heartbeat Hut." Feeling smelly and sweaty, they decided to go back to the hut to wash up before going to town to buy things.
When they got back, the other two groups were still doing their tasks. There was no one else in the "Heartbeat House" except for the surveillance cameras, so Liu Yingdi took a break and gestured for Wang Xiyi to mute her microphone. Although Wang Xiyi was puzzled, she did as he said.
While changing her shoes at the door, Liu Yingdi asked Wang Xiyi, "You participate in many programs and have many friends. Although it may be a bit presumptuous, I still want to ask, my contract is about to expire. Do you think I should sign with another company or start my own studio?"
Wang Xiyi was puzzled as to why Actor Liu would ask her such a question, since they weren't very familiar with each other. However, based on what she knew from the gossip system, Actor Liu was a very good person.
So I told him, "I suggest you sign with another company. You should know your company's style of doing things very well, otherwise you wouldn't have signed with them for so long. If you run your own studio, your development will definitely be hindered. Why not switch to a company with a strong background and upright practices, like our company!"
"I'll consider it, thank you!" Liu Yingdi said, turning on his microphone again, and Wang Xiyi nodded and turned on hers as well.
After taking a shower, the two went to town together to buy ingredients. Liu Yingdi seemed to have a particular fondness for beef parts. Yesterday he cooked beef brisket and beef tenderloin, and today he bought some beef tendons and ribs. Seeing that Wang Xiyi liked to eat shrimp yesterday, he also bought two pounds of large shrimp, five pounds of rice, one pound of eggs, two pounds of green peppers, half a pound of spiced dried tofu strips, a piece of chicken breast, and one pound of potatoes, spending 170 yuan.
The two originally wanted to buy some drinks to take home, but considering that the show's sponsor had already provided drinks, they bought some pomelos and grapes instead, leaving them with a total of 350 yuan.
When everyone gathered in the living room again, it got lively. The three men took turns showing off how many gifts the host had given them and how much money they had earned. In the end, Huang Yaohui's world of being injured alone was achieved! He didn't have as many gifts as Zhao Kai and the others, nor did he have as much money as Liu Yingdi and the others. The once energetic young man immediately wilted!
The comment section was filled with: "How can he be so funny?"
"Am I sure I'm watching a dating reality show? Not some kind of comedy show?"
"I now feel that he and his songs are out of place!"
The audience was filled with laughter at Huang Yaohui. The poor kid ran up to Liu Yuxi and said to her, "Yuxi, don't worry, I'll definitely get you first place tomorrow!"
"But who knows if we'll be teaming up tomorrow!" Liu Yuxi didn't want to discourage him, but there was nothing she could do. Looking at the other two ladies who weren't good at cooking, Huang Yaohui felt that tonight's dinner might be his last moment of happiness!
This kid's expression is so easy to understand. No wonder he used to be so cool and expressionless during his performances. It must have been instructed by his manager.
