Participating in a money-saving variety show, I became famous on the Internet by being stingy

Chapter 2 Chen Xixi saves money Step 2: Refuse to be fleeced by others

There were a few big words written on the list: Free eggs!
Chen Xixi’s first step to saving money: taking advantage of others.

In Chen Xixi's hand was a flyer from a pharmacy called Ciyuan, which said that one could get a pound of eggs for free by presenting the flyer, with a limit of 30 eggs per day.

You should know that this kind of activity is very popular among the elderly, so you must come early to get it.

This is why Chen Xixi gets up early and jogs for health.

By 8:30 in the morning, when the sky was completely bright and the pharmacy opened, there were already quite a few elderly people lining up behind Chen Xixi.

The pharmacy salesperson gave a strange look to the young girl who was at the head of the line and the only one in the line.

Then she retracted her strange gaze, pointed to the list on the table, and said politely: "Register your name and phone number here and you can get the eggs for free."

Chen Xixi calmly picked up the pen, bent down, and wrote down a mobile phone number without hesitation. Then she happily returned to the dormitory carrying a pound of eggs.

[Sorry, I scolded too early...]

[I don’t have to starve, and I haven’t broken the rules of the game. This wave of free sex is pretty good! I’m beginning to look forward to how this beauty will get free sex later. 】

[Although this is a good way to get something for free, you really need to have a strong heart to resist other people's strange looks. Anyway, as a young person, I am embarrassed to do this kind of thing. ]

[What's the big deal? I didn't steal or rob anything, so why should I feel embarrassed? Is it because of your ridiculous self-esteem that is not worth a pound of eggs? Can it be used to make a living? ]

With this pound of free eggs, the problem of food in the past two days has been well solved.

The kitchen in the dormitory building is a public area, and all guests can only cook here.

The program team thoughtfully prepared basic kitchen utensils and seasonings, so Chen Xixi only needs to do a simple wash and she can have a delicious egg breakfast.

At this time, Zheng He, who happened to be coming downstairs, heard some noise coming from the kitchen and immediately walked over quietly.

“You bought so many eggs!”

Zheng He looked at the fried eggs in the frying pan and swallowed unconsciously. Who can refuse to eat two delicious fried eggs in the morning?

After Zheng He finished speaking, his eyes moved, not giving Chen Xixi a chance to reply politely, and continued: "Do you need my help?"

Since he has already offered to help, it would be a bit unreasonable if Chen Xixi didn't say politely and bring him some.

If he could have breakfast at Chen Xixi's place, he could save the money for a meal!

Chen Xixi smiled politely: "Thank you, but no thanks."

But it's just frying two eggs, she can do it herself.

After Chen Xixi finished speaking, there was a brief silence in the air except for the sizzling sound of frying food.

Zheng He waited and waited but Chen Xixi didn't say a polite word: Would you like to eat something together?
I don't know if Chen Xixi is really selfish and pretending to be stupid, or if she has low emotional intelligence. What's wrong with giving him two eggs? She can't finish them herself.

Besides, who could be short of these two eggs under normal circumstances?

The little girl looks pretty and likable, but she doesn't understand the ways of the world at all! Zheng He complained in his heart.

But when he thought about going out to buy breakfast, he couldn't think of anything economical except instant noodles, which made him feel overwhelmed, so he couldn't let go of the opportunity to get something for free.

Zheng He looked at her as if nothing had happened, and took the initiative to change the subject with a smile: "The eggs are fried well, you ate early, I just woke up and haven't eaten yet."

If Chen Xixi still didn't understand such an obvious hint, then she definitely didn't want to give him the food on purpose.

Chen Xixi fried two eggs and unceremoniously turned off the fire. She put the fried eggs on a plate and said without any emotion, "Then don't stand here and look at me. Go eat yours."

Zheng He did not give up and continued, "I also want to make some eggs to eat. They are economical and affordable."

Chen Xixi was unmoved. She put the remaining raw eggs into the refrigerator with her name on it and said, "Oh, then go get them outside."

Zheng He: "..." This girl is really stubborn! [Why do I feel like this guy wants to take advantage of her? ]

[Hahaha! I could tell that the man wanted to eat her eggs, how come she didn't hear that? ]

[Is it possible that she heard it and just wanted to save his face in the end? ]

Under normal circumstances, Chen Xixi would naturally not be stingy with two eggs, but now they are in a competitive relationship.

Besides, everyone is equal in the face of opportunities, and this is not a matter of life and death. Why should she let Zheng He eat and drink for free at her place and help him save money? Does she look stupid?

Zheng He saw her carrying the plate to the dining table and sitting down. He sighed shamelessly, "I don't know if the vegetable market can sell two eggs. I don't want to buy so many like you. I'm afraid they will go bad easily in such a hot day."

What Zheng He said was almost like saying: Just give me two eggs!

Chen Xixi picked up a fried egg with chopsticks and fried it on both sides at just the right temperature until it turned golden brown. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Zheng He swallowed twice when he saw it, and his stomach growled.

Chen Xixi finished a bite slowly before speaking, "They won't go bad. There's a refrigerator here. Go look around first. If you really want to buy two eggs and can't find them, I can sell you two later."

"Sell me two?" Zheng He thought he had heard it wrong and repeated it in disbelief.

He just wanted to have a free meal, was she so stingy as to sell him two eggs? !

Chen Xixi nodded calmly: "Yes, you heard it right."

Zheng He's expression was a little bit overwhelmed: "Chen Xixi! After all, we are the guests recording the show together. We will meet again in the next month. It's just two eggs, and you actually want to charge me?"

Chen Xixi blinked, with a hint of innocence in his clear and bright eyes: "You are a grown man and you dare to use it for free, why should I be embarrassed to accept the money?"

Zheng He's face turned completely black. There was a camera next to him. Chen Xixi said this to him directly. Didn't he have any dignity? !

Zheng He tried to save face: "Who wants to get it for free? I'll go out and buy it myself!"

[This guy is really something, no wonder the program team chose him, he is even better at getting free stuff than Chen Xixi. ]

[Chen Xixi's freeloading is legitimate, and Chen Xixi got up early and queued for more than two hours to get the eggs. This man directly took advantage of the fruits of other people's hard work for free. Isn't this treating others as fools? ]

[Yes, it’s all for saving money to win 5 million. Why should other guests save money for him?]

[Is it possible that Zheng He did not intend to get something for free, but his words might be easily misunderstood? ]

[But then again, I feel that Chen Xixi is quite stingy. It's just two eggs, but he still charges money. If it were me, I would be embarrassed to say that.]

[The above poster, are you blackmailing me or are you some kind of saintly white lotus? Why should you give away your own things for free? Besides, this is a competition program, they are rivals, if you let me do it and I let you do it, then there is no point in competing, just pack up and go home, and give up the 5 million prize money! ]

After Zheng He left, Chen Xixi quickly finished her breakfast. She washed the dishes, turned upstairs and began to think about the next meal.

As the saying goes, if you don't think about the future, you will have immediate worries. Since she couldn't have this pound of eggs, she didn't think of other ways.

At lunch time, netizens finally met the other two guests, Han Qianyi and Wan Chen, both of whom were contestants who ate two meals a day starting at noon.

Not eating breakfast just saves a meal.

Because they had similar meal times, they had something in common. They went to a nearby store and bought a box of instant noodles, and each of them had half a box. The price was right, the quantity was not too much to finish, and they could quickly change to another flavor after finishing.

While the two of them were preparing instant noodles in the dormitory, Zheng He was not idle either. He took advantage of Chen Xixi's absence to chat with her, saying, "That Chen Xixi is quite stingy. Today, he actually told me that he wanted to sell me two eggs."

The main reason was that what happened in the morning was so embarrassing for him, and he now wanted to find an opportunity to save his face in front of the camera.

Zheng He kindly said, "I think she just wants to win and make money from us. You should all be careful of her and don't let her trick you!"

He saved face for himself and isolated Chen Xixi, which was also a relief for himself!

As soon as Zheng He finished speaking, Han Qianyi suddenly saw a figure at the kitchen door.
