Boss, He Is Chasing Stars Again Chapter 54

Chapter 54 Chapter 54 Jian Xingzhi and Shi Xingze pick oranges…

Jian Xingzhi and Shi Xingze were not slow in picking tangerines, but when they picked the fourth basket, Shi Xingze felt as if someone had punched him in the waist when he stood upright. He immediately arched his waist and rubbed it, and it was better to stand up slowly.

Shi Xingze silently reflected in his mind whether he should exercise, otherwise why Jian Xingzhi seemed so much more relaxed than him.He picked up an empty basket and walked a little further into the orchard. He hid next to an citrus tree and secretly lifted up his clothes to take a look. It was obvious that he also had abdominal muscles.

“Young man, there is water over there, drink some water.” The uncle pointed with his fan to the big teapot on the small table next to him. Jian Xingzhi thanked the old man, poured a bowl and gave it to Shi Xingze: “Drink some water, there are only the last two baskets left.”

Shi Xingze looked at the thin sweat on his forehead and pushed the tea bowl back: “You must not have drank it. You drink it first, and I will pour another bowl.”

Jian Xingzhi gave him the tea bowl without any explanation, turned around and poured himself another bowl of tea. He raised the tea bowl and touched it with Shi Xingze’s tea bowl: “Can you drink it safely now?”

Shi Xingze touched him back with a smile and drank the tea in the bowl.The tea in the bowl has a refreshing fragrance, which seems different from the tea bought in the market. It should be fried by the people here in the ancient town.

The tea in the bowl was deliberately kept cold. Shi Xingze drank a few gulps, and his fatigue suddenly dissipated.

Jian Xingzhi drank this kind of tea for the first time, and felt that the experience was a bit novel. He walked over and asked the old man: “This tea tastes very good. Can you sell me some after the program is finished?”

The old man smiled, waved his hand, and said in unskilled Mandarin: “I’ll give it to you, without telling you whether to sell it or not.”

Jian Xingzhi insisted: “I’ll buy some. These are the ones you worked hard for.”

The old man couldn’t resist Jian Xingzhi and promised to sell him some tea after the recording ended today.Shi Xingze looked at Jian Xingzhi curiously: “You must have a lot of good tea at home. Why do you want to buy this and take it back?”

While picking tangerines, Jian Xingzhi did not hesitate to answer Shi Xingze’s words: “This tea tastes very good. Take it back as a souvenir to your family. They must have never tasted it.”

His words inspired Shi Xingze. Shi Xingze and his old man bought some tangerines and planned to send them to his parents before leaving.The old man peeled a tangerine for them just now. It tasted very good.

After the two of them picked citrus, the old man stood up, took the initiative to pick up two baskets of citrus and walked in front: “Young students, follow me.”

Jian Xingzhi tied the bamboo basket to the pole and carried it on his shoulders like the old man did. As soon as he lifted it, he felt the weight. He subconsciously turned to look at Shi Xingze, only to find that the other person was looking at him and snickering.

Jian Xingzhi was a little confused: “What’s wrong?”

Shi Xingze was covering his mouth and snickering, but he laughed out loud when he saw Jian Xingzhi turning around: “It’s nothing, I’ve just never seen you carrying a pole, and I thought it was a bit funny.”

He never thought that Jian Xingzhi, the boss of a big company, would come here carrying a pole to do tasks with him like this. Unfortunately, he didn’t have a mobile phone and couldn’t take a picture, but he should be able to see this scene in a variety show later.

Seeing him smiling happily, Jian Xingzhi suddenly put down the pole, flicked his forehead with his finger, picked up the pole and followed the old man before he recovered.

Shi Xingze covered his forehead and hadn’t recovered yet. Seeing that he was the only one left behind, he quickly picked up the remaining two baskets of tangerines and chased after him: “Why did you flick my forehead? And you were snickering just now!”

“No, you must have seen it wrong.”

“I can’t be wrong.”

Jian Xingzhi and Shi Xingze finally picked the tangerines to the ancient town. They rested several times on the way. When they finally heard the old man say that this was the place, they hurriedly put down the carrying pole and rubbed their sore shoulders.

Shi Xingze rubbed his shoulders and took over the basic funds to complete the task from the PD. He finally breathed a sigh of relief. He got one hundred yuan!

When the old man saw the two young men, he knew they were exhausted. He sat on the pony and told them to peel the tangerines and eat them. Shi Xingze felt a little embarrassed: “Old man, we are walking too slowly. Please wait for us on the way. We won’t eat, so we can help you sell some.”

Jian Xingzhi had never sold these before, and looked at Shi Xingze with pleading eyes.

Shi Xingze had never sold it himself, but he had seen how others sold it, so he took the initiative to tell Jian Xingzhi not to worry.

Shi Xingze asked the old man about the price, cleared his throat and imitated the fruit vendor: “Fresh citrus fresh from the tree, never treated with pesticides, the pulp is very sweet!”

He studied acting. When he was hawking on the street, he spoke clearly, his voice was confident, and he had a bright smile on his face. Many people came over to look at the oranges in the basket, including more young girls.

Seeing this, Jian Xingzhi took the initiative to peel an orange and put it on the pile of oranges. A curious customer came over to ask, so Jian Xingzhi handed a piece to the customer to taste, and many people came to buy it.

When Shi Xingze saw someone actually coming to buy oranges, the smile on his face became even bigger: “We just picked these oranges from the trees and carried them here. No pesticides were used. They are so sweet!”

There was a little girl who didn’t know Shi Xingze and deliberately teased him: “Is it sweeter than you?”

Shi Xingze waved his hand sheepishly: “Then it’s sweeter.”

Jian Xingzhi and the people around him laughed kindly. Shi Xingze pretended that he couldn’t hear and took the initiative to open a plastic bag to fill the oranges for the customer.

Shi Xingze shouted on the street for a long time, and actually sold a lot of oranges. When his throat was about to smoke, Jian Xingzhi suddenly stuffed an orange into his mouth. While chewing, Shi Xingze turned to look at Jian Xingzhi, his mouth bulged like a hamster: “What a sweet orange.”

Jian Xingzhi sat him down on the pony and peeled half an orange for him: “If you feel tired, take a rest. Almost all the oranges have been sold. If you continue to sell them, you will have to sell yourself out.”

He motioned Shi Xingze to look at the orange basket next to him. Shi Xingze was only focused on selling, and he really didn’t notice that the oranges were almost sold out. He looked at Jian Xingzhi with some surprise and said, “We are almost sold out?! That’s great. It looks like we can have something good to eat tonight.”

The old man also smiled and said: “Young students, thank you for your help today.”

The program team came over to check today’s turnover with Jian Xingzhi and Shi Xingze. Shi Xingze didn’t bother to settle the accounts, and Jian Xingzhi was responsible for collecting the money.Jian Xingzhi counted the money and gave it to the program team for verification: “Eighty-three and a half yuan, you can count it again.”

This is a citrus production area, so the price is not high. Jian Xingzhi thinks it would be more expensive if it were sold in City A.

The program team checked the amount, confirmed that there were no problems, and distributed equal amounts of funds to Jian Xingzhi and Shi Xingze, and then returned today’s money to the old man.

The old man was very satisfied with Shi Xingze and Jian Xingzhi and took them casually.The remaining oranges were given to them in a plastic bag: “Thank you for your hard work. Eat the oranges here, they are worthless.”

Shi Xingze stretched his waist, and Jian Xingzhi pushed him back onto the horse and sat down. He asked the program team: “How are the progress of other groups? Is it time to assemble?”

The staff nodded. The meeting point was still their meeting point in the morning. Jian Xingzhi and Shi Xingze could take a rest before going there.

Shi Xingze rested on the maza for a while. After feeling that his physical strength had recovered, he went to the meeting place with Jian Xingzhi. He found that the other groups were also disgraced, and he suddenly felt balanced.

It seems that the program team does not treat everyone as human beings.

Ran Xiangling had a piece of chicken hair on her body. Shi Xingze reminded her, but Ran Xiangling waved her hands and said with a look of despair: “I just want to go back and wash off the smell now. I feel like I’m going to be soaked in the smell.”

Yao Xueling wasn’t much better either. There were a lot of oil spots on her originally elegant and fresh light blue dress, and there was a large stain on her back. However, the dress was close to the body, and the print on it was so obvious that she didn’t even care to compete with Ran Xiangling.

Shu Shu and Hao Yongan didn’t say a word when they came back. They seemed to have been drained of all their strength by the punting boat.

It seems that Jian Xingzhi and Shi Xingze are the two most respectable people in the group.

“Our mission has been completed, can we eat now?”

Xia Xia helped Ran Xiangling sort out her clothes. Several people looked at Lin Xi expectantly, but Lin Xi slowly shook her head: “The program team does not provide lunch and dinner. You need to solve the problem of eating by yourself.”

“What?!”

Chen Shen and Hao Yong’an knew how to cook a little, but they couldn’t bear it. They had just returned from the boat. Their arms were so sore that they didn’t even look like their original ones. They still had the strength to cook.

This is true for both Shen Shen and Hao Yong’an, not to mention Ran Xiangling and Yao Xueling who don’t know how to cook at all.

But Lin Xi also left some room for others: “The restaurants in the town are not expensive, and there are a few nearby. You can use the start-up capital to eat. Of course, if you want to cook your own food, you can, but you have to discuss it with the landlord. We will give everyone time to rest at noon, and we will still gather here in the afternoon.”

After Lin Xi finished speaking, he took the other staff to dinner, leaving the guests looking at each other in confusion.

“What should I do? I’m not willing to use this money to eat. I earned it all with great difficulty, and this little money is enough for food.” Ran Xiangling said with a bitter face, lying on Xia Xia’s arm.

When Shi Xingze helped his old man sell oranges in the afternoon, he got a general idea of the local prices. He felt that eating with the money they earned would not be a problem, so he said, “Eating here is not very expensive. Even if you order takeout, you should be able to eat meat and vegetables for 20 yuan.”

“How can we eat that kind of thing? Of course we have to find a restaurant to eat!” Yao Xueling was very tired today. Hearing this, he rolled his eyes without covering up at all.Moreover, Jian Xingzhi and Shi Xingze made so much today, wouldn’t it be appropriate to treat them all to a meal?

Jian Xingzhi originally wanted to discuss with Shi Xingze that each team would contribute some money as lunch money, and everyone would find a restaurant to have a meal together, so that they could order more dishes. Now after hearing Yao Xueling’s words, he rejected the idea and took Shi Xingze’s wrist to leave: “Since you have a way to solve it, Xingze and I will leave first. See you later.”

Shi Xingze was a little annoyed after being criticized by Yao Xueling. He originally wanted to ask Ran Xiangling and the others what they thought, but after seeing Jian Xingzhi’s attitude, he didn’t say anything. He nodded to the others, and the two of them went back to the room to take a shower and change clothes.

Jian Xingzhi’s personal belongings include a mobile phone, which, unlike other guests, can also be used during the filming.He looked at nearby restaurants and found one with good reviews. He took Shi Xingze and walked there according to the navigation, and ordered a few dishes: “Home-style eggplant, stir-fried pork slices, hot pepper chicken, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and a winter melon and sea rice soup.”

Shi Xingze was still flipping through the menu, but found that the dishes Jian Xingzhi ordered sounded familiar. Why did they all seem to be his favorites?

Could it be that Jian Xingzhi is also a fan of his?
