As a young lady, Fu Xue'er had never seen such a small town before. She was curious about everything in the town and kept stopping in front of the stalls.
"Sister - in - law, what are they selling here?"
"They're selling mushrooms. They're also called fungi."
Fu Xue'er nodded. "So they're mushrooms. I saw a large patch of mushrooms in the woods at the village entrance, but they looked different. How about we go pick some mushrooms when we get back and have them for lunch?"
"Don't! Some mushrooms are poisonous. Eating them could be fatal."
Fu Xue'er shrank her neck in fear. Suddenly, she caught sight of a general store with a banner at the entrance that read "All items 20 yuan".
"Sister - in - law, what does 'all items 20 yuan' mean? Does it mean all things cost 20 yuan?"
"Of course it does."
"Then let's go in and have a look. I've never been to a store like this before."
Just like that, the group entered the small supermarket.
Inside, there were pre - packaged fruits, vegetables, and meat on sale.
"Sister - in - law, are all these things really 20 yuan?"
"Sure. For this kind of store, the boss sets up such an attractive offer like 'all items 20 yuan' to promote sales. But this store has a quite complete variety of goods, and people from the surrounding areas of the town all come here to buy things."
"Well, we each have 50 yuan. We can't even use it all up..."
Jiang Miaomiao nodded. "Okay, then you can pick some fruits and vegetables here first. I saw there are snacks over there. I'll go take a look."
When Jiang Miaomiao came back with the snacks she had picked, she was stunned to see Fu Xue'er carrying big and small bags in her hands.
"Why did you pick so much?"
Fu Xue'er was beaming with excitement. "Isn't it all 20 yuan? Wouldn't it be a loss if I didn't pick more?"
Jiang Miaomiao was speechless.
It seemed this young lady really had never done any shopping on her own.
"Is it possible that 'all items 20 yuan' means each item costs 20 yuan, not that you can take a bunch of things for 20 yuan?"
"Ah?" Fu Xue'er looked disappointed. "But we only have 50 yuan each. Then we can only buy a little bit of stuff?"
"Yeah, you'd better put all these things back and just pick one or two of your favorites."
"All right."
Jiang Miaomiao walked towards the meat section.
Perhaps because she hadn't eaten meat when she was a child, she was particularly fond of it. She missed it terribly if she didn't have it for a few days.
While she was choosing meat, Fu Xue'er's voice came from behind.
"Sister - in - law, what do you think of buying this and taking it back?"
Jiang Miaomiao turned around, and her expression froze instantly.
"What... Why are you lifting the refrigerator?"
"I thought that since everything is 20 yuan, it would be more cost - effective to pick something expensive. If we take this refrigerator back, we can have cold drinks."
Jiang Miaomiao couldn't help but rub her forehead. She quickly told her to put the refrigerator back. "Don't let the boss see this. Put the refrigerator back quickly. This is not for sale!"
Fu Xue'er was puzzled but still put the refrigerator back, muttering, "Didn't you say everything is 20 yuan?"
She had struggled so hard to lift the refrigerator. It almost exhausted her, and yet it was not for sale.
Her eyes fell on the air - conditioner in the corner, and Fu Xue'er had another bright idea. "How about we buy this air - conditioner? It's so hot these days, and there's no air - conditioner in our accommodation."
Jiang Miaomiao: "..."
The bullet - screen was filled with laughter.
[Hahaha, guys, I'm dying of laughter.]
[Come on, young lady. You might as well just move the whole store back.]
[Fortunately, the boss didn't hear that. Otherwise, the boss would be furious.]
After Jiang Miaomiao's detailed explanation, Fu Xue'er finally understood that not all the items on display in the store were for sale.
Fu Xue'er was a bit disappointed. She casually picked some fruits and then followed to the checkout counter.
There were no other employees in this small supermarket. Only the boss was there to handle the checkout.
Fu Xue'er looked at the boss and pointed. "I want to buy this. Is it also 20 yuan?"
The boss, who was pointed at, was taken aback first, then said coyly, "Naughty~ I'm a decent person. I'm not a prostitute."
"..."
Fu Xue'er looked up in confusion. "I was pointing at the big bottle of drink behind you."
The boss blushed with embarrassment. "Oh, oh, this drink."
[Hahaha, the boss is so funny.]
[What on earth did the boss think? Hahaha]
[Not only is Fu Xue'er a bit out - of - it, but the boss is too.]
Everyone didn't have a satisfying shopping experience. The 50 yuan given to each person by the program team was all spent, but it felt like they hadn't bought much.
The guests unanimously concluded, "Director Guo, you're so stingy."
Before Director Guo could say anything, Jiang Zhi suddenly said, "The director is considering the show's effect. Why don't you put yourselves in his shoes?"
Director Guo was stunned.
Damn, why was Jiang Zhi suddenly speaking up for him?
With her current bad reputation, wouldn't the audience misunderstand that he was in cahoots with Jiang Zhi and start scolding him too?
[Look at the director's expression (chuckling)]
[Director: Stay away from me.]
[Jiang Zhi truly is disliked by everyone.]
[It's so much more pleasant to watch the live - stream now that there are no more trolls of Jiang Zhi spamming the bullet - screen.]
Jiang Zhi actively spoke up for Guo Dao, but the other party didn't appreciate it. This made her face turn pale.
These people were so realistic.
Seeing that she had conflicts with Beichen now, they didn't even bother to pretend anymore.
They couldn't understand the relationship between her and Beichen.
Thinking of this, Jiang Zhi tightened her grip on the thing in her pocket.
It was all this lousy program's fault. It had caused her reputation to collapse completely, and all the announcements she had previously arranged were cancelled.
Now her career was in trouble, and she was also disappointed in love. Moreover, she had so many embarrassing moments left on the internet.
Since she had lost so much face on this program, she would make others lose face along with her!
Back in the village, the guests put all the ingredients they had bought together and then started cheerfully preparing dinner.
"Great. After eating pancakes for several days, we can finally have a good meal."
"I'm going to eat two big bowls of rice!"
[Great. The food - related variety show I can enjoy while eating is finally back to its original style.]
[Finally, we don't have to watch them farming anymore.]
[I'm ordering takeout now. I can watch the show and eat at the same time later.]
[Then I'll order takeout too. I hope there won't be any more unexpected situations like before to spoil my appetite.]
In the harmonious atmosphere, Jiang Zhi quietly walked over and looked at the ingredients in the sink.
The guests were all busy with their own tasks. Some were washing vegetables, and some were cooking. No one noticed her.
Just then, a voice came from the TV.
"Today's news. At 5 p.m. local time on the 16th in the M country, a beach was hit by a terrorist attack. Seven people died and three were seriously injured. It is reported that one of the victims is the eldest son of the Fu family in Haishi, the current CEO of the Fu Group. Currently, the official of the Fu Group has not made a response yet..."
In an instant, it became quiet all around.
Everyone's faces turned pale.
Mrs. Fu seemed to be hit by some huge shock. She couldn't catch her breath and fainted directly.
"Mom - -"
