Chapter 18: Ice Cream
After buying gifts, the group began to move to the next station of the trip.
On the way to the airport, Director Zhao smiled and said, "I have good news for you, our next stop is in China!"
"Yay, finally we can go back home! It's so inconvenient to go abroad when you don't speak the language. Where are we going?"
"A place with an absolutely beautiful landscape," said Director Zhao, "Qianzhou."
Most of the guests had filmed or participated in events in Qianzhou and were quite relieved to hear that. In fact, as long as you are in the country, you feel safer than abroad, and the medical care and security in the country are very commendable.
After Tao Tao was happy, he asked the most important question, "Director Zhao, how much is our second tour fund?"
Director Zhao gestures five fingers.
Qi Xingchen's heart went up in his throat - "It can't be 5,000!"
With the piss-taking nature of the show, scaling back to 5,000 is likely.
"No," said Director Zhao, still smiling, "fifty thousand."
Fifty thousand?
The guests could not believe it for a moment - poor travel poor travel, fifty thousand dollars not to mention, nourishing through the seven days is completely possible.
"...... I'm not done yet," Director Zhao continued, "The airfare to Qianzhou is also included this time."
Guests of Honor: "......"
Fuck, I knew the dog show crew didn't have good intentions!
Of course spiteful as they were, they got off the bus and everyone resigned themselves to going to the front desk to buy their tickets.
"I just looked," Qi Xingchen took out his cell phone, "If you take the mileage exchange and add a little bit of money, it's about 6,400 for business class from Denmark to China, and 2,000 for business class from China to Qianzhou."
"Then this is 8400 for one person, and for six people ..... .50400, hiss-" Zhang Yunfei finished his math and sucked in a breath of cold air, "and still have to pay back five hundred dollars?"
"Don't count six, count five, I'll just fly economy, I can buy discounted tickets." Qi Xingchen shook his head.
Denmark to domestic economy class price of 3000, domestic to Guizhou special price of 900, so the total cost of 45,900, still left 4,100 dollars.
It's not much, though, is it? It's better than a reverse hitch.
But Zhang Yunfei was a bit intolerant, "You're so bored alone, I'll go to the economy class with you, I can suffer."
"It's not a matter of suffering or not," Qi Xingchen joked, "Whoever of you goes to the economy class could cause passengers to get overly excited and have a heart attack-especially that top-traffic guy, and a plane stomping Accidents can't be solved well, don't victimize the innocent masses."
Indeed, with the guests' fame on the line, going to a place with a lot of passengers is sure to cause a commotion, especially for Bai Ye.
"And I don't have to, I'm so mushy, no one would recognize me if I went ...... What's that word again?"
"What's the word?" The camera brother asked subconsciously as he watched his performance with great interest.
"Muckraking, yes," Qi Xingchen affirmed, "that's what it says!"
"Muddling through? Hahahahahahaha--"
The crowd couldn't help but laugh at the internet terms he had picked up from somewhere, Luo Qiuman was doubled over in laughter. In the midst of the laughter, Bai Ye quietly walked up to Qi Xingchen.
"Come to business class," his voice was soft and low, "Economy class isn't comfortable for a ten hour flight."
If you can go Qi Xingchen of course want to go, but the conditions do not allow, "If the money is spent, to the other side of how to do, we a group of people drink the northwest wind?"
Bai Ye's good-looking eyebrows suddenly wrinkled.
"It's okay," Qi Xingchen waved, "I'm used to being brown."
After that, Qi Xingchen bought a plane ticket on his own. We all think it's not good to let the youngest suffer, but we can't find any other way to solve the problem, we can only form a circle in the waiting room and accompany him to tell stories to relieve boredom and express care.
After chatting for a while, a slender hand suddenly reaches out in front of Qi Xingchen. It was well-boned and held a bear-shaped cone.
"Wow, so cute!" Liu Ziyu said in surprise, "Night, is this from the cold drink store next door at ten pounds a pop?"
"Uh-huh."
"What made you think to get Xingchen ice cream?"
"Ahem," Bai Ye fisted against his mouth and coughed lightly, "don't they kids love that."
.
Qi Xingchen felt offended.
He's a big boy, okay? He's been an adult for three years now, okay? Why are you still calling him a kid? Hiss ...... This little bear looks like it could be really cute.
Lick a bite and the tart, fruity flavor explodes on your tongue, sweet but not too sweet. Aside from being adorable, it's also delicious.
I vaguely remember that when he was three or four years old, whenever he passed by the kiosk, he kept drooling over the colorful ice cream balls.
The director of the orphanage would pull him away with a bitter face, coaxing him, "Ice cream is not good, our little Xingchen is a good boy, he doesn't eat ice cream."
As time went on, he really thought ice cream wasn't good anymore. When he was able to earn money from his own performances, he didn't even think of buying an ice cream to cool off in the summer heat.
The original delicious ice cream is this flavor ah, his heart is just as sour as the ice cream, take out his cell phone, find Bai Ye.
Xingchen: [Thank you senior]
Xingchen: [I forgot to mention earlier]
The six guests are seated in a row waiting for the plane, Luo Qiuman is using his massager and sits next to him on the left.
Bai Ye, on the far right, felt his cell phone vibrate, took it out and looked at it, then pressed black on the screen.
Qi Xingchen didn't wait for a reply and leaned over to his right to see Bai Ye listening to a song with his headphones on, probably not hearing his cell phone ring.
He typed again: [By the way, what did you use to buy it, isn't there not a single penny left in our Danish station's fund?
During the recording, the camera followed Bai Ye almost every inch of the way, and just now, he also went to buy ice cream, Bai Ye didn't find a chance to cheat with his own money.
Bo: [Eating you.]
Xingchen: [...... Oh]
Qi Xingchen put away his cell phone in anger. The first time he ate such delicious ice cream, he couldn't finish it too quickly, licking it in small bites.
Bai Ye subconsciously touched his index finger, where there had been a finger ring, but now it was empty.
.
After a ten-hour flight, it was already noon on Monday when the group arrived in Qianzhou.
Director Zhao waved his hand in a rather bold manner, "The car to the destination this time will be paid for by the program, no need for you to spend any money!"
"Heh," Zhang Yunfei was so sleepy that his eyes were green and black, "my intuition tells me that this bargain is definitely not that simple."
Zhang Yunfei's instincts proved to be right, as the group boarded a commercial bus, caught up on their sleep, and then opened their eyes to a blanket of green.
Qi Xingchen jumped out of the car and stood on tiptoe with his hand between his eyebrows to look ahead. I could see the continuous mountain peaks towering into the clouds, and the green mountain forests were boundless, as if the end of the mountain was the end of the world, an end that could never be reached.
"So beautiful!" Seeing the great beauty of the scenery, the guests couldn't help but stroke their palms in admiration.
Answering them was a cry mixed with dialect, "Welcome Barley TV to Niu Ben Town and Sheep Goat Village to perform the program!"
Shouting too loud, the guests were startled, only to find that not far from the dirt road, a dozen old folks are driving oxcarts, pulling red banners beating gongs and drums, welcome.
"...... It's McMansionTV, not Barley," Director Zhao was the last to get out of the car, reluctantly correcting himself, "and not here to act in the show, but to record it."
"Leader forgive me, I said it wrong," the villager leader hemmed and hawed, "My name is Ceng Er, you can call me Lao Zeng. The village chief can't come to his family's sheep, so he asked me to receive you. I'm uneducated and don't know how to speak, so don't take it to heart."
Said, he took out a towel from his pants pocket, in the cattle car vigorously beat: "Get on the car leaders, a few days ago it rained on the road is full of mud, the car can not get in, can only aggrieve everyone to sit on this!"
Liu Ziyu: "......"
At first, she said that it would be better to participate in the Poor Traveler than to participate in the Metamorphosis Program, and she didn't expect the prophecy to come true. Now this situation, what is the difference between this and the fucking Transformation Program?
The guests climbed onto the oxcart with wooden faces, Qi Xingchen Yu Guang glanced at Bai Ye and saw that he did not look well.
He had an old dust allergy, as the longer chasing night skies knew, and couldn't help but get sick if he rode in a dusty cattle car.
Qi Xingchen took off his punching jacket and spread it along the car without moving, "Brother Bai Ye, there are wooden thorns here, be careful."
He didn't say that the dust was too heavy for fear that it would hurt his pride if he heard it, and Bai Ye kept quiet for the same reason. Luckily Qi Xingchen found an excuse to get out of it, and Bai Ye nodded at him in appreciation, finally taking a seat.
The road into the village was so bad that the oxcart, not to mention the cars, almost got stuck in a mud pit. After more than an hour of walking and stopping, the guests were sent to the village headman's office by Ceng Er with their buttocks covered.
The mayor's office is at the head of the village, a dozen square feet of small brick house, if not the mayor went home could not fit so many people.
Zhao director put the guests in a row: "Sheep goat village and the surrounding mountains and villages is our site's main strategy of the tourist places, the rules are very simple, every morning I will release a task information, complete the task challenge success, can not complete the challenge fails, you need to deduct two thousand dollars of tourism funds."
"Two thousand?" Listening to Director Zhao read the rules, Tao Tao couldn't help but protest, "We're down to four thousand now, won't we lose it in two deductions!"
Director Zhao shrugged, "You guys can choose to finish the mission."
"...... Who knows how difficult the task is!"
"It doesn't matter if it's difficult, I've hired help for you guys on this station." Zhao director laughed, "is our flying guest ...... Alas, said Cao Cao Cao Cao to, just as he came!"
Through the dirty glass window on that side, a tall, thin man could be seen walking this way while talking to the camera. Curious guests stretched their necks to look out, wondering who the flying guest was.
Only Qi Xingchen was left frozen in place as if he had been doused with ice water, unable to say a word.
