The longed-for village system

Chapter 90 Da Xun's Concerns

Upon hearing Huang Shi's voice, everyone came out of the house, knowing that the daily bargaining show was about to begin.

"Teacher Huang, what's going on? Is Old Wang asking for an exorbitant price again?" Chen Qing asked Huang Shi as he approached, then turned his gaze to Old Wang off-camera.

"Guess how much they want from us for a pound of beef or a fish?"

"No, this is beef! Beef is definitely more expensive than pork! A pound of beef costs 200 sugarcane stalks, while a fish only costs 100 sugarcane stalks. Is it unreasonable for me to ask for this?"

Old Wang was also anxious. Although he had increased his weight this time, he absolutely could not show it, otherwise, what awaited him was suffering.

"Old Wang, please be more confident and drop that 'ma'!" Chen Qing immediately launched his bargaining skills. "Let me do the math for you. A pound of beef costs around 30 yuan on the market, while a sugarcane costs one yuan wholesale here. 200 sugarcanes would cost 200 yuan, which is more than six times the market price. And that doesn't even include the cost of handling the sugarcane."

“Let’s calculate the price of the next fish. The market price for a fish here is 15 yuan, and you’re asking for 100 yuan, which is more than six times the market price. Do you still think it’s excessive?”

Originally, Huang Shi and the others only felt that the production team was going a little too far, and they just wanted them to reduce the demands a bit, or if that wasn't possible, they would let it go. However, after Chen Qing's calculations, they felt that the production team was not just going a little too far, but extremely going too far.

I could tolerate them selling it to me for two or three times the price, but now they're charging me six times the price? Are they taking advantage of my ignorance of the market?

"I won't go into details, Lao Wang. What do you suggest we do now?" Chen Qing gave Lao Wang a look that seemed to say, 'Do you even want to live?'

"One fish, one pound of beef, and 200 sugarcane stalks—that's the lowest I can go. Otherwise, you can choose to fast today." Old Wang made his last stand; this was his bottom line.

Seeing Lao Wang's gritted teeth, everyone knew this was his bottom line, and any less would affect their program filming, so they stopped haggling.

"Thank you, Lao Wang. Aside from being a little stingy, you're still pretty good." Chen Qing took the ingredients from Lao Wang and turned to leave. Halfway there, he turned back and added insult to injury, "You can owe me the 200 pieces for now! We'll pay you back when we have more people."

"you"

Old Wang almost vomited blood when he saw Chen Qing's figure. Was this person even human? He was a devil!
The children in the live stream were blown away by Chen Qing's antics.

"Brother Chen is still Brother Chen! This move was so cool, he got a knife out of nothing!"

"It's that fear of being dominated by Brother Chen again, Director Wang, just stop struggling and accept the torture!"

"Impressive, truly impressive. Not only did they cut the price by a third, but they also made us pay on credit. Will the other guests dare to come?"

"Landlord, do you know how mischievous you are, even Little Bone Goddess knows?" "I feel sorry for Director Wang, *dog head pat*"

"Dog head pat +1"

Fortunately, Lao Wang couldn't see the live stream comments at this time, otherwise seeing a bunch of dog emojis would have been infuriating.

"Well done, Xiao Chen." Huang Shi, disregarding Lao Wang's feelings, took the ingredients from Chen Qing and praised him.

"No, no, I still have a long way to go and need to learn from Teacher Huang and Teacher He! I have a long road ahead of me!"

"No way! Little Chen, I can't teach you that. Teacher Huang and I will have to learn from you how to bargain. If you had been there for the first three seasons, we wouldn't have had it so tough," Teacher He said with a smile.

"I'm telling you, all you outstanding people, don't be so modest. You're making me, an ordinary person, look like an idiot," Da Xun interrupted, cutting off their modesty.

"Da Xun, you're excellent too! You're successful in TV, movies, and variety shows. Do you want to enter the music industry to be satisfied?" Teacher He responded to Da Xun's praise with a smile.

Huang Shi and Da Xun co-starred in "Trouble Family". Huang Shi is satisfied with Da Xun's acting skills, although he still seems a bit immature and there is a big gap between him and Peng Peng and his sister. However, it is quite good for his age to have such acting skills.

My younger sister is a child star. She has acted with a group of well-known actors and veteran actors since she was a child. If she still couldn't develop her acting skills in such an environment, she would have disappeared long ago.

"Da Xun, you should also keep working hard. After you've matured, I believe you'll eventually gain everyone's recognition," Huang Shi said, trying to comfort Da Xun.

Currently, he is generally recognized as a variety show personality, after all, his performance in variety shows is outstanding, while his involvement in the film and television industry has been met with lukewarm responses.

"Thank you, Teacher Huang. I will try my best."

Da Xun felt a little frustrated. He turned to look at Yang Xiaomi beside him and then sighed secretly.

Actually, he had liked Yang Xiaomi since he was a child and used to regard her as his idol. Later, he never expected that he would also enter the entertainment industry and that the two of them would cross paths. Over time, he found that he liked this woman more and more.

He could also see that Yang Xiaomi had a good impression of him. Perhaps if he mustered up the courage to take another step forward, their relationship would take a substantial step forward, but he didn't dare to take that step.
