The genial sunlight poured down, filling the air with freshness.
Villagers had risen early to attend the market, only to discover two unfamiliar figures at a small stall.
"That young girl is really pretty, she must be one of the guests who arrived yesterday."
"The lad looks quite fair and plump, though with that belly of his, he probably can't handle farm work."
"Are they selling something too? What are they selling?"
The villagers, in pairs and groups, gathered around a little stall tucked away in a corner.
Feeling like they were on display as if watching monkeys, Chen Liang's face darkened; however, due to the presence of cameras, he refrained from making any comments.
Their task was to sell all of their agricultural products, with the winner receiving an extra reward for dinner and the loser facing a punishment.
"President Gu, how about we make a bet? The loser has to wear a sign saying 'I am a dog' and walk around the village."
