Chapter 43

Yang Zi: "......"

He started to play the rogue: "Anyway, it was bought for one hundred yuan, everyone can bear witness!"

"That's right, that's right." Lin Jingyi nodded.

"It was just one hundred yuan, Director, don't be so rebellious." Teacher Huang lectured: "I've eaten more salt than you've eaten rice, can I not understand this?"

Teacher Lu coughed lightly: "This really is something worth one hundred yuan."

Li Dao: "......"

What to do, he was also feeling desperate.

"One hundred yuan?"

Chi Ye heard this and nodded repeatedly, pointing at the box of King Crabs and Australian Lobsters: "Then I'll buy them."

Everyone: "?"

Yang Zi squinted at him: "What are you buying? Buying a tiny piece of fuzz on the crab claw?"

Chi Ye said sincerely: "Then you tell me how much you bought them for, and I can buy them at the original price."

Jiang Mou: "......"

Fishing for information, are we?

The three old ones and one monster naturally wouldn't fall for it. They exchanged glances, and Teacher Huang turned his head and lowered his voice: "I hid the candied haws underneath just now, I didn't take them out."

Everyone was startled.

Teacher Huang had already nodded to Li Dao, indicating agreement: "Fine, take them for one hundred yuan, give them to Chi Ye and the others, that's no problem, right? We bought them for one hundred yuan, you record one hundred yuan in turnover!"

Program team: "......"

But Teacher Huang was indeed "experienced."

The wood was already carved into a boat; the program team certainly couldn't throw these things away.

And now that the program effect had been achieved, and seeing that Chi Ye's group was willing to accept it, Li Dao naturally wouldn't say anything more, only warning: "Don't let it happen again!"

The monsters nodded, but none of them took it to heart.

Teacher Huang and Chi Ye were even a bit eager to try.

—Teacher Huang was indeed happy; with Chi Ye's operation, it was equivalent to "whitewashing" the candied haws they had hidden!

As for Chi Ye, it was even simpler.

He felt that "buying" these things for one hundred yuan was too profitable!

Not only could they be used as a gimmick to attract customers now, but they could even be thawed later—a proper health tonic!

Teacher Huang took out his phone: "Scan your code or mine?"

Chi Ye glanced at him: "Scan yours."

"Alright, then scan my code... hmm?"

Teacher Huang suddenly realized and glared at Chi Ye.

Chi Ye: "?"

"What's wrong?"

"...... Nothing."

Teacher Huang cursed inwardly, feeling that Chi Ye must have done it on purpose.

But since he had started the conversation, he couldn't say much.

The two completed the transaction, and Chi Ye returned to the stall with the large box.

"Lao Foye, Teacher Shi, look what I bought for you!"

Chi Ye happily signaled: "Candied King Crab, Candied Australian Lobster, all high-quality protein!"

Shi Daifu, who was busy, looked up, saw the box of King Crabs, her apricot eyes brightened, and then she lowered her head in embarrassment and continued working.

The motivation of the workhorse became even stronger!

Lao Foye curiously came over to take a look, and once she saw the ingredients were so "high-end," she immediately lost interest and disappointedly went back to continue carving "Kung Fu Panda."

Chi Ye: "......"

Sorry, it was my presumption.

He didn't mind this and happily stuck all the Candied King Crabs and Candied Australian Lobsters in the most conspicuous position on the display stand to ensure that passing customers could see them.

Opposite stall.

"...... He took advantage of us!"

Watching this scene, Yang Zi was quite unwilling: "We bought them for seven thousand yuan!"

"What are you unwilling about? That stuff wouldn't sell anyway. Without him, could we have used the candied haws we bought so openly?"

Teacher Huang was in a good mood and asked a customer buying candied haws: "Do you want it spicy?"

Customer: "?!"

Yang Zi: "?"

Can a carbon-based lifeform ask such a question?

"No... I just want to eat some normal candied haws."

The customer was scared pale.

"Hehe." Teacher Huang pouted: "Just joking."

He packed it up efficiently and handed it over: "Candied haws are ready, come back after you've enjoyed them!"

"...... Never coming back again."

The customer fled in a panic.

"No... Little Huang, you're too heaven-defying." Yang Zi couldn't help but educate him: "Business isn't done like this. Guess why people come to buy candied haws, and not 'spicy candied haws'?!"

Teacher Huang was displeased: "Can I not know that? Isn't this just a joke? Seriously, if you know how to do it, why don't you do it?"

"If I do it, I do it."

Yang Zi came to the front of the stall, and just then a middle-aged man walked over: "Give me two skewers of candied haws... hmm?"

Suddenly, his nose twitched, and he said in surprise: "Why is there a smell of alcohol?!"

"Do you sell alcohol here too?"

Yang Zi: "......"

He looked up and glanced at his IV drip, thought for a moment, and shook his head: "This really can't be sold."

The man was disappointed, shook his head, and walked away: "Then I won't buy any."

"Hey... don't go, don't go!"

Teacher Huang saw this and got anxious, immediately running out to stop the man: "We'll add some alcohol for you! Buy it, buy a few more skewers!"

The man was surprised: "There really are candied haws with alcohol added?!"

Teacher Huang smiled slightly and didn't speak.

Yang Zi was dumbfounded, hurriedly pulled him over, and lowered his voice: "Are you crazy! Can this stuff be drunk?!"

"...... Are you stupid? This isn't medical alcohol from the hospital, your assistant bought edible alcohol, I saw it."

Teacher Huang educated him: "Isn't edible alcohol meant for eating? A little bit added makes it very fragrant!"

Yang Zi: "......"

He stepped back two steps, keeping his distance from Teacher Huang: "I clarify here, I'm not familiar with you, I'm not an accomplice!"

Of course, that's what he said, but once Yang Zi heard it was edible alcohol, he felt relieved.

"Sneakily" taking down his IV drip, he pried open the lid and was about to sprinkle it on the candied haws.

"Hey! Hey!!"

The man was directly stunned: "What are you doing?! I wanted alcohol, I'm not drinking medicine! Don't pour it, I'm not buying, not buying!"

"Don't go, don't go, this isn't medicine, this is edible alcohol!"

Teacher Huang hurriedly stopped the man: "If you don't believe me, smell it!"

"Oh?"

The man was skeptical, but it was clear he was a drunkard who was strictly controlled at home. Hearing this, he really lowered his head to smell it.

His eyes lit up instantly: "Good wine!"

And without waiting for the two to speak, he grabbed Yang Zi's "IV drip" and took a small gulp.

Everyone: "?!"

Chi Ye, who happened to see this scene: "?!!"

"Holy crap, I woke up too fast, am I seeing things? How come I see someone snatching Teacher Yang Zi's IV drip to drink!"

He was stunned for a second.

Clearly, the scene before him had far exceeded his understanding of this world.

What are Teacher Huang and the others doing?

"Drugging people" in public?

Not even bothering to salt them anymore, right?!

"...... It's over, Teacher Chi, it's really going to become the 'See You' stage, come if you have the life for it."

Lao Foye was equally surprised, her mouth hanging open.

But the man drank it "comfortably": "Oh my, oh my, the kick is too strong!! The flavor is too punchy!! There's such good stuff?!"

"Sir, sir, don't drink it, this stuff isn't meant to be drunk directly, just tasting a little is enough!"

Teacher Huang and Yang Zi hurriedly stopped the man.

"...... Not bad, really not bad!"

The man also knew his limits; he had only tasted a little bit just now, and after finding the taste good, he immediately waved his hand: "Candied haws, add alcohol and spice, in this winter, you have to eat something 'hot'!"

"Alright!"

Everyone beamed with joy and immediately got busy.

Chi Ye: "......"

Heaven-defying.

Tap, tap, tap.

Just then, a sound of footsteps suddenly rang out.

A girl dressed in a low-key manner, wearing a black baseball cap and carrying a high-end camera bag, walked over and asked politely: "Hello, how is this sold?"

Chi Ye was startled, came back to his senses, looked at the customer, and was stunned.

It wasn't that this customer was particularly good-looking, but...

What she was pointing at was the Candied King Crab and Candied Australian Lobster that he had hung up without ever thinking anyone would buy!

"You want to buy this?"

Chi Ye was surprised.

"Hmm..." The female customer paused and waved to Jin Xia to greet her: "I'm Xia Xia's fansite manager."

Chi Ye: "......"

Sure enough, Lao Foye was calm at the moment, her expression becoming noble: "Sister Nuanyan, you're here."

"Yes, I should have come before you arrived, but there was a traffic jam on the way."

The fansite manager looked at Chi Ye: "How is it sold?"

Chi Ye changed his face in a second: "Xia Xia's fan... I really can't set a price for this, a King Crab should be over one thousand... since you're Xia Xia's fan, then... let's give a discount, two thousand."

Fansite manager: "?"

"Cough, cough, just joking, five hundred, take it for five hundred."

Chi Ye was still quite "decent."

The fansite manager glanced at Jin Xia and shook her head: "Buy it at the original price, I'm too lazy to check. Two thousand for a King Crab, one thousand five for an Australian Lobster... also, I want all the candied haws Xia Xia made, pack them all up for me."

Chi Ye: "?!"

A rich person?!

He looked at Lao Foye.

Jin Xia nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "It's okay, Teacher Chi, she's very rich!"

Chi Ye: "......"

"Alright, I'll pack it up for you right away!"

Since she was rich and willing to buy, he was naturally willing!

He efficiently packed up the box of "candied seafood" that had just been brought over not long ago and handed it to the fansite manager together.

The fansite manager took it, put it aside, and didn't leave, but instead started looking for various angles, taking photos of Jin Xia "at work" from time to time.

Chi Ye: "......"

There are fansite managers like this?

This fansite manager is no ordinary person; the program team actually let her in and let her chase the idol's face to take pictures!

"Hey, what's the situation?!"

Just then, the opposite side finally noticed the situation of Chi Ye's group, one by one dumbfounded.

"Those King Crabs were all sold out?!"

Yang Zi walked over in disbelief, not knowing if it was because he was "so angry," but his legs were trembling a little.

"Yeah, they're sold out."

Chi Ye didn't even look up: "Something up?"

Something up?!

That damn money was all mine!!

Yang Zi was anxious, like a clown afraid that his brother would drive a Range Rover: "How much did you sell it for?!"

"Alipay received 10,000 yuan."

The classic payment notification sound rang out, and Teacher Huang, Teacher Lu, and the others who had just followed over felt the sky collapse.

"Ten thousand?!"

Yang Zi stared: "I only spent seven thousand when I bought it, and you sold it for ten thousand?! Chi Ye, you really aren't a human being!"

Chi Ye: "?"

"Are you sick? People are willing to buy it, is it wrong for me to sell it for a high price? Besides, you sold the things to me, how much I sell them for has anything to do with you?"

Yang Zi was furious: "Those were all my things!"

Chi Ye didn't pay any attention to him, waving his hand at Teacher Huang and the others: "Hurry up and take your pet back, you're disturbing our business!"

Everyone: "......"

"That won't do, Chi Ye, how did you sell it for ten thousand..."

"Does all this count towards the turnover? Then what are we playing for?"

"That's right."

Teacher Huang reached out: "How about this, we won't ask for much, just split half."

"Begging for food together, are we? Are you leaving or not? If you don't leave, I'm going to report you guys for 'gathering to take drugs' just now!"

Chi Ye "threatened."

Yang Zi and Teacher Huang's expressions changed, especially the former, whose small eyes scanned the surroundings sneakily, and in a fit of anger, he got angry: "Fine, fine, fine, that's how we're playing, is it? Fine, let's go!"

The other three squinted at him.

They didn't expose him either, and one by one they left "angrily."

"Heh." Chi Ye sneered and continued to help the fansite manager pack the goods.

The fansite manager witnessed the whole process, looked Chi Ye up and down with a scrutinizing gaze, and said casually: "Your program is recorded quite happily."

Chi Ye was startled and looked at her: "Yes, happy, it's just a bit life-consuming."

Fansite manager: "......"

She glanced at Jin Xia, who was tirelessly carving strawberries not far away, and suddenly said to Chi Ye: "Chi Ye, treat our Xia Xia well, don't let her suffer any grievances."

Chi Ye: "?"

He didn't understand why Lao Foye's fansite manager suddenly said this to him.

The fansite manager blinked: "I'm a Chi-Xia CP fan."

Chi Ye: "......"

Directly shipping the idol to their face, are we?

He felt relieved, but also a bit strange.

Isn't it a bit inexplicable for a CP fan to say these things?

Unable to figure it out, he went directly to ask Lao Foye.

"Don't let me suffer grievances?"

Jin Xia blinked her long eyelashes, a look of contemplation flashing in her beautiful peach blossom eyes, also very puzzled: "What grievances could I have?"

"That's right, exactly." Chi Ye nodded.

"Who could make me suffer grievances?"

Chi Ye: "......"

That's right!

Who could make Lao Foye suffer grievances?

Only Lao Foye makes others suffer grievances, who would dare to make the young lady sad?

"Oh, I know."

Suddenly, Lao Foye thought of something and patted her little head: "I know."

Chi Ye: "?"

Sensing Chi Ye's puzzled gaze, Jin Xia thought for a moment and hummed: "Teacher Chi, I don't want to talk about this right now, I'll tell you after I've handled it, okay?"

Chi Ye: "......"

"I'm fine with anything, does it have anything to do with me?"

Lao Foye thought seriously, nodded, and then shook her head: "It doesn't have much to do with you... but it does a little. Anyway, it's really annoying, I'll tell you by noon at the latest!"

Hearing her say this, Chi Ye suddenly became a bit curious.

What on earth is it?

With this doubt, the subsequent work of Chi Ye's group "slackened" quite a bit.

Of course, they really didn't need to work hard anymore.

Because not long after, the program team announced the end of the activity.

—Once the ten thousand turnover appeared, it had already killed the competition.

Chi Ye's group, with a crushing posture, defeated Teacher Lu's group and obtained a turnover of 10,000+ and the opportunity to go out and have fun tomorrow.

Although Teacher Lu's group was unwilling, if you really looked into it, they weren't "clean" either.

Eleven o'clock.

A group of people noisily finished cleaning up the scene and headed to the place for lunch today.

On the way.

Chi Ye was still thinking about what Lao Foye had said when his WeChat suddenly sounded a notification.

Ke Ke sent two messages that would shake the entire entertainment industry.

【Brother Chi, your "See You" announcement has been stopped.】

【The head office has made a move.】
