The longed-for village system

Chapter 67 The Enthusiasm of the Villagers

With 190 yuan in hand, the group entered the market to start shopping. Upon their arrival, the villagers greeted them warmly, and many even offered to give them the vegetables.

After all, their production team helped them promote their fruit last time. If it weren't for their help, the fruit would have rotted on the ground. Now, the supply can't keep up with the demand.

So when the crew came to buy groceries, they naturally treated them warmly and gave them some of their own ingredients; how could they possibly charge them?

Teacher He, Teacher Huang, and the others naturally wouldn't take the villagers' things for nothing, so the two groups exchanged pleasantries back and forth.

In the past, sellers wanted to raise prices and buyers wanted to lower them, but today it's the complete opposite: sellers want to give it away for free and buyers insist on paying.

Seeing their reaction, Chen Qing knew that if he didn't interrupt, they would continue to be so polite. So he spoke up and said, "Teacher He, Teacher Huang, this is everyone's kind gesture, so let's accept it! But we can't take everyone's things for free, so let's give it a 50% discount! That way, we can receive everyone's kindness without feeling guilty."

“Okay, let’s do as Xiao Chen says. We really can’t just take everyone’s things for nothing. It’s not easy for everyone to do business.”

"Yes! This year, everyone's life is not easy. Since we are in the village, we will definitely help if we can. We are all family, so let's not be so polite."

With Teacher He and Teacher Huang speaking up, and considering their previous attitude, everyone followed Chen Qing's method. A 50% discount was better than nothing; they just wanted Teacher He, Teacher Huang, and the others to know their gratitude.

This time, Old Wang didn't refuse the villagers' kindness. He said it was their good intention and accepting it would put their minds at ease. Of course, if they did it again next time, they would find a way to deduct some money from their accounts.

After a trip to the market, they bought big fish, big meat, and various ingredients, spending only 80 yuan. They still had 60 yuan left to buy many other things.

However, they did not plan to continue purchasing ingredients; having meat but no wine would be a disappointment.

"It looks like there's a performance over there. Should we go check it out?" Pengpeng asked after turning around to check the situation upon hearing the sound.

As young people, they naturally enjoy lively atmospheres. Upon hearing Peng Peng's words, Qinqin, Dalinzi, and their younger sister all turned their gazes towards the direction from which the sound came, and sure enough, they saw someone singing over there.

"You young people go ahead! Teacher He and I will decide what to do next and meet up later."

Teacher Huang didn't stop these young people from joining in the fun; it's human nature. If he weren't more interested in alcohol, he would have gone over to check it out too.

Chen Qing was also pulled into the crowd by Peng Peng and saw a beautiful woman, probably around 80 points (out of 100) in looks, singing live on stream. No wonder so many men were surrounding her; 80-point beauties were extremely rare in this village. The streamer, who was singing, immediately greeted them, but the performance didn't stop. This was an unexpected surprise for her; she hadn't expected her plan to actually succeed.

Timo, a top entertainment streamer on a certain platform, sometimes plays games, but sings more often. Ever since she learned that the fourth season of the show "Longing for Life" was being filmed here and that streamers could broadcast live from the surrounding area, she planned to come here to do a live broadcast.

She was just trying her luck. If she could run into a celebrity, that would be great. Even if she didn't, she wouldn't lose anything. But it seems she's quite lucky now.

"Wow! I didn't expect Timo to be so lucky, it's Pengpeng and Sister."

"Goddess Qinqin is here too. Goddess Qinqin is so beautiful. Timo, you lose."

"Go Teemo! You're singing his song right in front of the original singer, the landlord. If you can get him to sing along, I'll give you a rocket."

"Where are Teacher He and Teacher Huang? Where are they?"

When Timo's viewers saw Chen Qing and the others, they immediately started flooding the chat with comments. Some top-ranked viewers even asked Timo to invite them to appear in the video for a collaboration.

Timo rolled her eyes inwardly. It made it seem like she didn't want to work with them. She wanted to too! But she wasn't good enough! They were all celebrities on the big screen. Even though she was a popular streamer, she was still just an offline person. What did she have to compare with them?

Of course, we should give it a try. What if they agree? Then her live stream viewership and gifts will see a significant breakthrough, and she might even break her all-time record. Besides, even if she fails, it's just a matter of losing face.

After Timo paused the song, he went up to the group, greeted them, and then cautiously asked, "I'm streaming right now, and there are quite a few fans of the artists in the chat. Could I say hello to them?"

"Of course, no problem." As a bit of a simpleton, Peng Peng immediately greeted his friends in the live stream, "Hello everyone in the live stream, this is Peng Peng. Can you hear me? If you can, please send a '666'!"

With Peng Peng leading the way, the remaining people naturally greeted him warmly as well, as they would always grant such a small request.

The other people's greetings were all like "6666" or "Goddess is so beautiful", but when it was Chen Qing's turn to greet, the comments were all "Play a song".
