Ji Xizhi looked down at the familiar packaging in the plastic bag.
Then she looked up and asked Zhu Xiu’an, "Where did you buy this?"
Zhu Xiu’an: "Huh? From that crowded place over there."
He was still unreactive, pointing blankly towards the direction of the stalls behind him.
Sharp-eyed fans in the comnts had already noticed sothing was off.
[What’s up, did he overpay? Twenty for this big bag isn’t expensive, it’s quite cheap!]
[Zhu Xiu’an is truly amazing, even the caraman couldn’t squeeze in, but he managed to dive in like a little lion among the grandpas and grandmas and grabbed such a big bag!]
[Wait, sisters, look at the words on the biscuit packaging! These are counterfeit biscuits!!!]
[Damn, I almost didn’t notice anything wrong at first!]
[Zhu Xiu’an’s eyes, I really want to wash them for him!]
[Hahaha, I’m laughing so hard I’m crying, this happened to two years ago too, what a scam!]
[I also bought Wang Zi before, bought a whole box, and my mom scolded when I got back ho!]
[It’s not really Zhu Xiu’an’s fault, there were so many people there, everyone was busy grabbing, and the packaging and text were so similar, it’s understandable not to know!]
The comnts were laughing while defending Zhu Xiu’an.
In the market, Ji Xizhi had already taken out a package of biscuits. She looked carefully at the front and back of the packaging bag, and there wasn’t even a production date on the biscuits.
Ji Xizhi rummaged through the bag. Besides the counterfeit snacks, there were also so genuine ones inside. Ji Xizhi counted the counterfeit biscuits, which made up about half of the total, mixed in and sold together.
Zhu Xiu’an finally realized that the words on the biscuit packaging bag were not the Oreo he wanted to buy.
Zhu Xiu’an: "Yue Li’ao? Ke Bi Ke? What is this? What a scamr seller!"
Qin Yutian: "...?"
Bai Xing and Zou Li were also stunned.
Zou Li raised her hand weakly, "This seems to be a counterfeit!"
Zhu Xiu’an was so angry that his hair stood on end, "This is too much of a scam, I saw so many people grabbing there, saying the supermarket was closing down, selling at a discount, my nose almost got squished, and I managed to grab this bag! But it turned out to be fake!"
[Confird, the kid’s nose is real, black fans shouldn’t diss our kid’s looks anymore, they can call him dumb, but his nose is real!]
[? What kind of advanced detachnt from plastic surgery thod is this? High-tech!]
Zhu Xiu’an’s fans seized the opportunity to joke around.
At the market, Zhu Xiu’an was already furious. He grabbed the bag of snacks and angrily prepared to go back to find the seller, "I’m going to get a refund now!!!"
Ji Xizhi stopped Zhu Xiu’an for a mont.
Zhu Xiu’an was in a frenzy, and when he saw Ji Xizhi, he directly retorted, "Don’t stop , isn’t this illegal? Why aren’t you angry?!"
Ji Xizhi said calmly, "I’ll go."
Zhu Xiu’an’s furious expression was instantly soothed.
He said awkwardly, "Alright then."
[? Ji Xizhi is really good at calming people! Zhu Xiu’an quieted down imdiately~]
[What are you guys saying? Is this even calming? This couple is really sothing!]
[Patting dog head.jpg]
After calming Zhu Xiu’an, Ji Xizhi quickly prepared to head into the market.
Zhu Xiu’an raised the bag in his hand, anxiously called out, "Hey?! How are you going to return without bringing the stuff!"
Ji Xizhi raised her hand, said there’s no rush, then instructed the caraman behind her and disappeared into the crowd.
-
In the center of the market, at the entrance of the vegetable market, Zhong Yulu was squatting next to an old woman selling vegetables.
Raising her head, she saw Ji Xizhi pass through the crowd, and Zhong Yulu felt a small sense of relief.
Relieved that Ji Xizhi didn’t see her, and relieved that Uncle Yan’s task in the show was found by her first.
Zhong Yulu wandered around the market along with the crowd, and finally, under the "hint" of the cara crew’s fixed shots, she found an old woman.
A gray-haired old woman, selling vegetables.
It’s not hard to deduce that this was a task from the show.
Zhong Yulu squatted next to the grandma, sweetly calling her, while helping the grandma attract custors.
Zhong Yulu is a celebrity, and she’s pretty, so she quickly helped the grandma sell more than half of her vegetables.
It seed like the task would be completed soon, success was within Zhong Yulu’s grasp.
-
As Zhong Yulu was nearly done with her task, Ji Xizhi had just squeezed into the crowd on the other side.
There were many stalls in the market. So used a wooden board covered with a piece of cloth to set up, while others directly laid things on the ground to sell. The small stall Zhu Xiu’an ntioned was sandwiched in the middle a bit further behind, near a corner under a dimly lit canopy.
The small stall was surrounded by more people than the nearby ones, with a red sign on the stall, writing that the supermarket was closing down, clearing out stock. The stall owners were two n who looked in their 30s or 40s, shouting with a loudspeaker in hand.
"Grab a bag from here, weigh it after packing, all the goods are here, once sold, there won’t be any left, our supermarket only received this bit of stock! If you want sothing, co and buy it quickly, it’ll be gone soon!"
The stall owner was standing on a stool, persuading and stirring up a sense of urgency.
And most of the people around the stall were highly competitive middle-aged and elderly folks. At the ntion that it would soon be sold out, everyone picked up a bag and started packing.
Mixed among the middle-aged crowd were a few young n in their 20s, shouting as they squeezed:
"I want two kilos! Boss, give two bags!"
"Boss, I want five kilos! I want more!"
The few people shouted, and everyone got more energized to buy, along with the passersby too.
Ji Xizhi imdiately noticed that these young n were likely the so-called shills.
With the shills squeezing in and out, it was difficult for Ji Xizhi to get in. The caraman with her was even further behind.
Ji Xizhi watched as she squeezed in, only to be pushed out by others again, remaining silent for a mont.
Not far away, the caraman was trying hard to capture shots of Ji Xizhi’s head.
Viewers in the live stream were watching Ji Xizhi being squeezed around, laughing hysterically.
[Haha, Zhi Zhi looks so cute, it’s rare to see her with this expression, I’ve already taken tons of screenshots!]
[Eh, when I went to the farr’s market to grab eggs before, I couldn’t compete with the grandpas and grandmas, they’re really sothing!]
[Zhi Zhi probably doesn’t dare to push hard against those grandpas and grandmas, considering their age!]
[Is this group a bunch of shills? I have a feeling those guys keep squeezing without buying, probably on purpose!]
The audience was anxious for Ji Xizhi.
Then, they saw Ji Xizhi shout at the top of her lungs, "Boss, I’ll take all that’s left here!"
The clear voice reached the stall owner’s ears directly.
The shills mingling among the crowd imdiately started pushing each other, so Ji Xizhi didn’t even have to squeeze much and instantly got to the front.
[This scam is incredible, Ji Xizhi directly got a VIP pass inside?]
[Laughing so hard, Ji Xizhi only has one yuan in her pocket, how can she take it all! Hope nothing bad happens!]
Ji Xizhi squeezed to the front, and the stall owner imdiately began to pour three bags of snacks from the wooden board into several bags.
"You’ll take it all, right? I’ll give you a discount, two hundred, and you can take it, so we can get off work early and go ho!"
The stall owner’s actions were swift, not giving Ji Xizhi any ti to clearly see the items, as the stuff was swiftly poured into large black plastic bags. Since they mixed real and fake goods, having soone buy them all wholesale was ideal, pouring them all in so that no one would notice.
Next to them, so frantic grandpas and grandmas saw the situation and got anxious.
"No, we haven’t bought any yet!"
"How can this be, we ca first, sell to us first!"
"Exactly, young lady, you can’t do that! If you’re in a hurry to buy, go to the supermarket, see, see, there’s a big one over there!"
Several grandmas echoed, pushing towards Ji Xizhi’s direction.
The stall owner didn’t even have ti to ntion they’d be back the next day when Ji Xizhi stopped them with a single sentence.
"Everyone, don’t worry, and boss, don’t be in such a rush packing, take it out, let inspect the goods!"
Upon hearing Ji Xizhi’s words, the stall owner’s face instantly darkened.
