That's how I became famous

Chapter 697

"It's time to start working in the morning. We can't sit and eat now. We have to at least earn back the electricity bill every day."

Li Xiao stood up and looked at the small arch bridge in the distance. He was a little disappointed that he didn't see the car in the direction the guests came from.

It's past nine o'clock now, the sun is shining brightly, the temperature is rising rapidly, and it is no longer as cool as when running in the morning.

It's hot and sunny, but it's got to work.

The work efficiency is always slow on the first day. They have never done this kind of work, and they don't know how much time it takes to pick how many catties of fruit.

I don't know how long the guests will stay. If they leave tomorrow, they will not fulfill the friendship of the landlord. This is not good!

"Well, Xiaoxiao said yes."

Huang Lei nodded, and said with a chuckle: "As for what to do and the number of tasks, let's see how the new friend's physique is."

The obscene laughter is contagious, and the few people under the gazebo are like a party of psychopaths.

The difference is that Teacher He smiles gracefully, and Mei Feng smiles more cutely.

Of course, starting to work in the morning is just a matter of getting used to it, and it won't be ruthless all at once.

As for why he thought of another way to make money, and kept preparing to cheat the guests.

No way, forced by life.

This season, Wang Zhengyu's attitude is much firmer than before.

What can be won is still unknown.

A few people in Li Xiao speculated that the rent would be exempted, or the appearance fee of 100 yuan per person would be acceptable.

You can't pin your hopes on Wang Zhengyu's kindness.

Now that there are laborers coming over and the opportunity to accumulate a little capital, when should we wait now?

Oh, bah, you must entertain the guests well, let the guests feel the hospitality of the owner of the mushroom house, and let them know that they have come to the warm Dai people!

The guests probably told me when they would come last night, and it was almost there, so Li Xiao and the others stopped going to the field for now, so as not to cause fear before the guests even entered the door...

A few people were chatting, and the topic of the topic was probably a thoroughly bad, picky, so-so, villainous variety show director.

At this time, the sound of rollers rubbing against the floor came from outside the door.

Strangely, there were no voices speaking, but it didn't matter.

The conditioned reflex was normal, everyone stood up in unison, and greeted the door.

Even Huang Lei is acting like this. You know, if he hadn't known that someone he knew came back, and he was a good friend, Huang Lei probably wouldn't go out to greet him.

After all, they are the first batch of guests this season, so it will be more difficult...

So you have to make the guests feel respected and comfortable inside and out.

……

After getting off the car, Meng Qi was fascinated by the wild flowers on both sides of the road, took out her phone and kept taking pictures, and even took a group photo with Yang Xinyue, who had a round face.

Yang Xinyue was born in a rural family. Although she has never seen such a lush and carefully trimmed flower path, she is more interested in the watermelon field a few meters away in front of her, as well as the dragon fruit field and banana field over there... …

After a few minutes of delay in the "Flower Road", the two also remembered what they were here for, and nervously pulled up their suitcases and walked towards the mushroom house.

"Tell me, wouldn't it be better for us to bring a watermelon home?"

Passing by the watermelon field, Yang Xinyue stopped in her tracks. The experience of stealing watermelons from contractors when she was a child told her that this big watermelon must be ripe!
Definitely sweet!

"It might be better, but we can't steal..."

Meng Qi has always been quite calm, but it was because he came to the mushroom house full of big names that disturbed his mood.

I was actually moved!

"I have money!"

Yang Xinyue took out a small wallet from her satchel, found ten yuan in it, thought about it, stuffed it back and exchanged it for a twenty yuan.

I aimed at a watermelon and walked over, patted it, and weighed it with my hands. Maybe it was a bit big, but 20 yuan might not be enough, so I changed it to a smaller one.

"Yueyue, this is a seedless watermelon!"

The accompanying choreographer didn't say anything, but at this moment, he sounded a reminder from the side.

Pain flashed across Yang Xinyue's face, she stuffed the 20 yuan back, and exchanged another 50 yuan for it.

"Do you know who owns this land? Tell them for me that I put the money here."

Yang Xinyue picked up two stones on the road and held down the money.

Then he picked up the first watermelon he liked, and skillfully twisted off the stem of the melon.

The director wanted to say that this watermelon field belonged to Mushroom House, but after thinking about it, it was also the little girl's wish, but she picked up the money behind them.

"This watermelon should weigh seven catties, even if there are other guests, it should be enough to eat."

Yang Xinyue expressed her satisfaction with the door-to-door gift she picked, and Meng Qi beside her also felt a lot more at ease.

It's like a guest after all!
As a result, Li Xiao and his party saw a girl holding a watermelon in front of the mushroom house.

"Hello, Teacher Huang, Hello, Teacher He, Hello, Teacher Li, Hello Brother Peng Peng, Hello Sister Zifeng!"

"I'm Meng Qi from Xingyun Group."

"I'm Yang Xinyue from Xingyun Group."

The two girls greeted each other cautiously and introduced themselves.

"It's Yueyue and Qiqi who are here!"

Whether it's a newcomer or an old man, He Jiong rarely doesn't know each other in the entertainment industry. He put Yang Xinyue's shoulders on his shoulders and introduced to Li Xiao and the others: "Yueyue and Qiqi just appeared on my show a while ago. Xiaoxiao, it is said that the entire Xingyun group is your fan."

"Oh, thank you." Li Xiao said politely.

Yang Xinyue and Meng Qi looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief. Li Xiao was not as impatient as he was on the phone.

"You are here." Peng Peng pointed to the watermelon in Yang Xinyue's hand.

Yang Xinyue quickly handed it over, and said with a naive smile: "Qiqi and I bought it on the side of the road. The director said it was a seedless watermelon. We will try it together later."

There is a big watermelon field in Mushroom House. Peng Peng still took it, but Li Xiao carefully noticed that the director behind her had a strange smile, and asked curiously, "Where did you buy it?"

"There!"

Seeing Li Xiao taking the initiative to speak, Yang Xinyue happily pointed to the watermelon field in the mushroom house.

Sure enough, when she pointed her finger like this, the faces of Li Xiao and the others became strange.

"You said you bought it? How much did you spend?"

"50 yuan, isn't it too much?"

"No no."

"I put the money in the field and pressed it with stones. The director said she would tell the owner of the watermelon field."

Seeing Li Xiao's expression seemed to be a little bit wrong, Yang Xinyue thought that the money was too much, so she explained how she paid the money by the way.

As soon as she said it, Li Xiao and Peng Peng looked at each other, and He Jiong took the watermelon from Peng Peng's hand in a tacit understanding, and watched the two run away to the watermelon field.

"What, what happened?"

Yang Xinyue and Meng Qi were slightly in a daze, not knowing why.

"It's nothing."

He Jiong thought for a while and still didn't explain. The Mushroom House was poor and crazy, so that the little girl would not be frightened, so he called the two of them back to the house.

50 yuan!

This is 50 yuan!
How much is the electricity bill for a day!
If Wang Zhengyu is not one step ahead, it will be too late!
After all, it was too late, Li Xiao and Peng Peng searched for a long time on the side of the road, but they saw several stones in one place, but the money was gone.

According to Yang Xinyue, it was obviously picked up by the director immediately,

Li Xiao was also poor and crazy, and forgot to ask their accompanying choreographer immediately.

The two walked back dejectedly, Huang Lei raised his eyebrows and asked, "Didn't you find it?"

"Looking for what?"

Yang Xinyue and Meng Qi asked at the same time.

Li Xiao and Peng Peng shook their heads and lost a large amount of 50 yuan. Everyone felt a little uncomfortable, and no one answered them.

"Are you looking for someone?"

At this time, Wang Zhengyu came over, holding a piece of 50 yuan bills in his left hand, and flicked on the banknotes with his right hand, very loud.

After the director came back, he immediately told him about Yang Xinyue's purchase of watermelons, and handed over the money to him.

"Yes, Director Wang, give it back to us." Li Xiao still wanted to fight for it.

"Give it back to you?"

Wang Zhengyu looked puzzled, "It's not yours, it's from selling watermelons, you don't have the right to sell watermelons, forget?"

When it came to this point, Li Xiao stopped talking to him, and so did Huang Lei and the others. No matter what he continued to say, no one would talk to him.

The atmosphere was a bit delicate. Yang Xinyue and Meng Qi were in a state of panic. Looking at the situation, they thought that there was some conflict between the guests and the director.

At this time, Yang Xinyue had a very long reflex arc and asked, "This, this 50 yuan, can't it be the money for me to buy watermelons?"

Did you know?

Everyone looked at him speechlessly, and Yang Xinyue blushed and asked, "That is to say, this watermelon patch belongs to your Mushroom House?"

Meng Qi's reflex arc was not so long, but when Yang Xinyue said it, she also half-covered her face in shame.

This is too embarrassing, it is equivalent to buying something from the other party's house and giving it to the other party
Fortunately, there was a noise outside the door at this time, which eased the embarrassment of the two of them.

The workforce is finally here!

Lost the mood of 50 yuan, so got better.

There are four people in total, ranging in age from their twenties to their thirties. They are all actors, and their bodies look good. They are all full of energy and radiant. The shortest is 30 meters five or more. They should all have fitness. The arms look powerful.

This is enough.
One of them has a good relationship with Peng Peng, named Xu Tingzhou, that is to say, he turned down several people who came here.

The two embraced as soon as they met, and put their shoulders on each other after they separated.

After exchanging greetings for a while, I asked everyone to put away their things. Seeing that it was almost ten o'clock, Huang Lei said with a smile, "Everyone, pack up and change into looser clothes. Let's go to the field to have a look."

"In the field? Are there any fields here? The rice seedlings were planted in the morning?" a man named Yang Kai asked.

Seeing his strong figure and strong appearance, Li Xiao kindly explained: "There are paddy fields here, but this season our mushroom house doesn't have any, so we don't need to plant rice seedlings. Let's go to the fruit field now and pick some fruits."

"Oh, that's it!" Yang Kai nodded.

"Fruit picking? Great!"

The two girls, Yang Xinyue and Meng Qi, were very happy. Although the former was born in a rural family, it was not suitable for her to grow any fruit there. It may be that she has done other farm work, but she has a sweet yearning for fruit picking.

Apparently, she misunderstood "fruit picking".

The guests all misunderstood it, thinking that fruit picking means going to the orchard to play, eating while picking, and picking some to take home when they are done.

Everyone was in high spirits, like elementary school students on a spring outing, humming a song when they went out, chasing after each other.

"Good, good, alive!"

Li Xiao, who was walking behind, expressed his satisfaction, and looked at Huang Lei with foxy smiles.

The watermelon field is not far away. When we reached the watermelon field, Huang Lei assigned a task, "How about this, sister, take your two sisters to the blueberry field and pick some blueberries."

Fengmei knew that picking watermelons was hard work, but she also felt sorry for her brothers and uncles, but if she worked hard, she really couldn't help much, so she hesitated a little, and took Yang Xinyue and Meng Qi to the blueberry field.

Huang Lei looked at the rest of the people, mainly at the four young and strong guests, and said with a smile: "Then let's do it, a lot of watermelons are already ripe."

As he said that, he knelt down and picked up a watermelon, weighed it in his hand, and explained: "Generally, the higher the ripeness of the watermelon, the lighter its weight. Generally, for the same size watermelon, the lighter one is better, and the heavier one is better." It's raw melon."

Then he picked up the watermelon and tapped it lightly with his fingers, "This kind of one makes a crisp sound of "dong, dong". Togua's hand feels a little trembling, which means it is ripe. In addition, it makes a "chu, chu" sound , which is a reflection of relatively high maturity; the sound of "pop, pop" is overripe melon; the sound of "click, click" is raw melon."

Huang Lei continued to explain: "There is also the rind of the watermelon. The rind of this watermelon is darker, while the color of the rind of a raw melon is brighter. Then there is the navel of the melon. After the watermelon is ripe, the navel of the melon will be sunken, almost This level is enough. Combined with what I just said, it is generally not wrong."

Everyone listened very carefully, Li Xiao also listened very seriously, the watermelon picked yesterday was purely lucky, it was not only ripe, but also very sweet.

After listening to the theory, everyone immediately started to practice, and each picked one and sent it to Huang Lei for him to test whether it passed.

"Most people's melons are fine, just pick according to this standard, but Yang Kai's melons may not be mature enough, the skin color should be darker, and the navel of the melons should be a little concave." Huang Lei gave Out of grades.

After a while, Yang Kai picked another one and came back. Huang Lei nodded after looking at it, "That's right, that's how it is."

After each of them picked two or three watermelons, the four guests finally came to their senses. Why did they pick so many watermelons? They couldn’t finish them all. Even if they took two of them home, it would be enough!

Suddenly thought of something.

Wouldn't it be the "currency" of the mushroom house?

In the first season, Mushroom House used corn as currency, and they also knew it.

Xu Tingzhou touched Peng Peng, "How much do you want to pick?"

"Pick it up, take a rest when you're tired, and go back when you've picked enough." Peng Peng wiped the sweat from his forehead, and laughed.

I didn't specify how much to pick, but Mr. Huang has come out, and it is estimated that it will take at least an hour or two to pick.

Peng Peng's voice was not loud, but it was enough for the few people who were not far away to hear clearly, and each of them thought to themselves: "What the hell, it's been tricked!"

Where are you here to pick fruit?

Yes, this is for fruit picking.

But this is different from what I imagined!
