Chapter 296 - 296: Going to the Market
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
When the director realized that Qi Yan was not fooled, he took the opportunity to find a way out for himself. He said weakly and guiltily, “That’s more like it… If you were to really stay in a hotel, will we still be recording this variety show?”
“…” Everyone knew what the director was doing, but they didn’t say it out loud.
Before dinner, Meng Chuyuan and the two sisters went to the camping shop to buy foldable beds.
Fortunately, they had enough funds now and could add some good equipment to their assemblage. Otherwise, Qi Yan might have had to sleep on the inflatable sofa for the next few days.
Knowing that they wanted to buy a foldable bed, the boss showed the foldable bed to everyone.
“This bed is so small?” Qi Yan could not help but frown after seeing it.
The foldable bed was basically a single bed, and it was especially small. One would have to be very careful when turning over.
Qi Yan was used to sleeping on a big bed. Even though she was not provided such living conditions when filming the variety show, at least the beds in the previous episodes were not so narrow. There was also appropriate space for her to stretch.
“The normal size bed is like this. There’s no bigger one.”
After this foldable bed was criticized by Qi Yan for being too small, the boss was also a little embarrassed. He said in embarrassment, “Why don’t you buy an inflatable mattress? There are inflatable mattresses that are meant for two people. It’s relatively bigger.”
“I don’t want it.” The height of the inflatable mattress did not meet her psychological requirements. She felt that buying an inflatable mattress back was no different from sleeping on the floor.
Seeing that the negotiations between Qi Yan and the boss had fallen into a deadlock, Meng Chuyuan, possibly having sensed Qi Yan’s concerns, raised a suggestion. “Sister Qi Yan, I also suggest you buy an inflatable mattress. This way, you can at least lay a thermal blanket over yourself to sleep at night. It won’t be so cold.”
The size of the inflatable mattress and thermal blanket were relatively similar and it was safer to use the blanket this way.
On one hand, Qi Yan wanted to get a foldable bed, but on the other she thought about keeping warm at night. She hesitated for a long time and finally chose the latter. “Alright.’
Seeing that she had relented, Meng Chuyuan was about to pay the boss when she asked Liao Jiayan, “Sister Yan Yan, do you want to change your sleeping mat to an inflatable mattress as well?”
The mattress was hard and very close to the ground. It was not as comfortable to sleep on. Whereas, the inflatable mattress was soft and elastic. It was more comfortable to sleep on.
Meng Chuyuan thought that since they were already here and Qi Yan was going to change her sleeping mat to an inflatable mattress, she naturally could not ignore Liao Jiayan’s feelings.
Liao Jiayan said, “It’s too troublesome to inflate it when we bring it back.”
They could also use the thermal blanket when sleeping in their sleeping mats. It did not matter whether they changed their mat or not, so in the end, only Qi Yan bought an inflatable mattress.
The next day
Meng Chuyuan came out of the tent wrapped in a coat with toiletries in her hand.
She was the first to wake up. When she came out, the clouds on the mountain had yet to disperse. They lingered thickly on the mountaintop, forming a hazy landscape painting.
After she finished washing up, the production team staff got up one after another to tidy up and adjust the filming equipment.
A staff member was dressed neatly and a camera was set up beside him. The camera was slowly panning to Meng Chuyuan. “Teacher Meng, you don’t mind if I start the live-stream now, do you?”
“If you want to do so, then go ahead.”
Meng Chuyuan had not had the time to comb her hair and it was windy today. She happened to have a butterfly clip on her clothes that she had used during her shower last night, so she grabbed her hair, gathered it into a ball, and clipped it up.
After getting Meng Chuyuan’s approval, the staff turned on the machine in front of him. “Then I’ll turn it on.
Perhaps it was because the weather outside was colder, but everyone woke up late today. Only Meng Chuyuan and the staff on duty today were awake.
Before anyone got up, Meng Chuyuan planned to go to the market by herself. However, she was not familiar with this place, so she could only ask the staff for help. “How far is the market from here?”
“About half an hour.’
Meng Chuyuan asked, “Do you have a car? I want to go there.”
The staff shook his head helplessly.
For two episodes, their variety show did not receive any car sponsorships. Furthermore, throughout the entire variety show, they always had a fixed location for filming. Their range of motion were basically chosen to be locations nearby, and they usually did not go far to film. Therefore, the current buses and RVs were not suitable for Meng Chuyuan to use for travel.
As the production team did not provide Meng Chuyuan with any useful form of transportation, she could only borrow it from the nearby villagers.
When she arrived at the first house, Meng Chuyuan saw an uncle and asked him if he had any form of transportation she could borrow. In the end, the uncle drove a blue three-wheeled motorcycle out of the warehouse for her. When the three-wheeled motorcycle appeared in front of the camera, the audience in the live-stream were stunned.
[Good lord! It’s just a trip to the market. There’s no need to drive this motorcycle… It makes it seem like she’s going there to buy goods.]
[This motorcycle even runs on fuel. It looks tattered. It should be quite old. I don’t think Sister Meng can handle this.]
[I want to say Uncle, are you being serious, driving this motorcycle over? Have you ever thought about whether a young lady like her knows how to drive this thing?]
After the uncle parked the motorcycle, he turned to look at Meng Chuyuan and asked, “Little sister, do you think this will work?”
Meng Chuyuan was also shocked when she saw the motorcycle, but she was not in a hurry to reject the uncle’s good intentions.. Instead, she asked humbly, “Uncle, how do you drive this motorcycle?”
