Chapter 124 Transmigrating and Encountering the "Gossip System" (Online 10)
In the afternoon, everyone gathered in the hall and drew lots to form groups as usual. This time, Liu Yuxi did not cheat and was grouped with Liu Yingdi. Zhao Kai and Wang Xiyi were in one group, and Huang Yaohui and Zhang Hanyu were in another.
Today, the remaining money from each group was divided equally and put into each person's pocket. Liu Yuxi and Huang Yaohui each received 29 yuan, Zhao Kai and Zhang Hanyu each received 82.5 yuan, and Liu Yingdi and Wang Xiyi each received 175 yuan.
Huang Yaohui looked at Zhang Hanyu and said, "Hanyu, what should we do? Should we just buy food outside for all three meals?" Zhang Hanyu thought for a moment and said, "That's not impossible!"
Unfortunately, the production team disagreed, only allowing them to eat lunch in town if they didn't have enough time.
The tasks for the second day are as follows:
1. Weeding in the cornfield: 100 yuan for weeding one fen (0.01 hectare), 200 yuan for weeding two fen (0.02 hectares), and so on.
2. Help the landlord harvest sweet potatoes. You get 100 yuan for half a mu (0.067 hectares), 200 yuan for one mu (0.067 hectares), and so on. However, if more than 20 jin (10 catties) of sweet potatoes are damaged, you will lose 100 yuan. If more than 40 jin (20 catties) of sweet potatoes are damaged, you will lose 200 yuan, and so on.
3. Help the family grind sweet potatoes. From washing to cutting into pieces, and then grinding into sweet potato paste, it costs 100 yuan for every 100 jin of sweet potatoes ground, 200 yuan for every 200 jin of sweet potatoes ground, and so on.
Oh wow, all three tasks tomorrow are physically demanding! This time, all three men were in high spirits, and the three groups were discussing which task would be easier to complete and which task would be better to choose.
Today's game was the classic "I have what you don't have," and everyone had a lot of fun. In the end, Liu Yingdi and Liu Yuxi's team came in first place. They discussed it and chose to pick sweet potatoes, feeling that as long as they were careful, this one would be easier than the other two.
Zhao Kai and Wang Xiyi chose to pull the weeds, while Huang Yaohui and Zhang Hanyu had no choice but to accept the task of grinding sweet potatoes into pulp.
After choosing their tasks, it was time for dinner. Tonight's dinner was very plentiful. Liu Yuxi's group had braised pork, stir-fried pork, shredded pork with water bamboo shoots, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and egg and tofu soup cooked by Liu Yuxi.
Zhao Kai's group's dishes included braised pork ribs, braised crucian carp, shredded potatoes with green peppers, stir-fried eggs with green peppers, and tomato and egg soup.
As for Liu Yingdi's group, Liu Yingdi cooked braised tendon, braised prawns, green pepper and dried bean curd strips, and stir-fried chicken cubes, but did not make soup.
There were naturally too many dishes for the six of them, so they shared most of them with the production crew, and everyone had another big meal. Wang Xiyi and Zhang Hanyu said that they couldn't eat like this anymore, or they would gain weight soon.
Huang Yaohui and his two older sisters washed pots and pans and cleaned the house. After the live broadcast ended, Liu Yuxi saw Liu Yingdi (the actor) find the program director and ask for her phone. Liu Yuxi didn't say anything and went back to her room.
The next morning, Liu Yuxi got up early as usual. After a simple stretch and washing up, she went to the kitchen to make breakfast as discussed the night before. She cooked white rice porridge, fried eggs, and, around the time everyone was about to get up, made some scallion oil noodles. Zhang Hanyu also made a few sandwiches. Everything was ready.
After breakfast, Liu Yuxi and Liu Yingdi discussed it and decided to bring a few bottles of milk provided by the sponsor, in case they couldn't keep up their energy at noon.
When they arrived at the sweet potato field, the land that the owner wanted to harvest had already been divided into plots of varying sizes, one plot per unit. They could easily see how many plots they had dug up.
After getting gloves, I learned from the host how to dig. The tool was a three-pronged rake. If the first dig was too far from the sweet potato root, it would take more effort and might damage the sweet potatoes next to it. If the first dig was too close to the sweet potato root, it might damage the sweet potatoes underground.
Therefore, they had to go a little slower, and they were extra careful with the first dig of each sweet potato. Liu Yuxi taught Liu Yingdi to dig from the middle of the row spacing, not from the middle of the sweet potato plants.
After all, the sweet potato plants are too close together, making it easy to damage them. Digging between the rows will not damage the sweet potatoes.
The sweet potato field was very dry, making it difficult to dig. It took the two of them more than three hours to dig only two-tenths of an acre. Fortunately, not many sweet potatoes were broken, and the total weight was less than 5 pounds.
Although they still had the physical strength to keep going, their hands couldn't take it anymore. Neither of them had done any manual labor before, and after several hours of work, even with gloves on, they still developed blisters on their hands. Liu Yuxi, in particular, had eight blisters neatly arranged in two rows on one hand, and a total of sixteen on both hands, which looked quite funny.
Comments: "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed it! The bubbles are so neatly arranged!"
"Wow! If it were me, I probably would have yelled already!"
"It's not the most painful part yet. It's already numb. It'll really hurt when we get back and have the blisters removed!"
"Please, production team, have some decency! Do you even remember you're filming a dating reality show? Not a reality show about transformation!"
"Holy crap, I just realized, this is a dating reality show!"
"Same as above! Shocking!"
"You guys go check on the other two groups, the female guests are both crying!"
Zhao Kai and Wang Xiyi were weeding, both wearing gloves. However, weeding requires squatting, so they had to stand up and rest after a while. Wang Xiyi couldn't take it anymore and just sat on the ground to weed.
Anyway, she doesn't care about her image when she's on variety shows, but it's tough on Zhao Kai. He sings love songs and cares about his image, so he's unwilling to sit on the ground and pull it up.
Both men were drenched in sweat, and the corn leaves kept scratching their skin, causing a stuffy, itchy, and painful sensation. After pulling up only a small patch of land, they had to stop; they simply couldn't take it anymore. Even so, each of them had a hand soaked in sweat.
Huang Yaohui and Zhang Hanyu's group were fine at first. Washing and cutting sweet potatoes was not difficult for them, since they were using a guillotine to cut the sweet potatoes.
However, when grinding sweet potatoes, it was a huge millstone. At first, Huang Yaohui could push it by himself, but later he couldn't handle it alone, so two people had to push it together. However, women's physical strength and endurance are not that strong.
Gradually, the two of them could only work for a while and then rest for a while. They had only worked for 200 jin (100 catties) before they could no longer work, and each of them had to soak one hand of their hands.
Aside from other gains from today's task, we certainly reaped a lot of benefits from water bubbles. Let's tally up each group's earnings: Liu Yingdi and Liu Yuxi earned a total of 400 yuan, Zhao Kai and Wang Xiyi earned a total of 200 yuan, and Huang Yaohui and Zhang Hanyu earned a total of 200 yuan.
On their way back, Liu Yingdi and Liu Yuxi went to town first to buy rice, flour, vegetables, and medicine before returning to the "Heartbeat House." The other two groups went back first.
They want to protest, this isn't a dating reality show at all. They want to ask the director if this is how he dated, and that's how he made his beloved girl suffer? His beloved girl must be so pitiful!
