小红：十一黄金周有什么计划？
Xiaohua：I planned to go traveling to Xiamen, but I've found my boyfriend and I have been on a tight budget. So, we just hang out in malls, window shopping or whatever. How about your plan?
小华：原本我计划去厦门旅游，但是我男友和我最近都有点拮据。所以，我们就去商场逛逛，看看不买就好。你的计划呢？
Xiaohong：Well, it's the perfect time to snuggle up with a cozy blanket and a few books to read while sipping green tea.
小红：哦，这是一个完美的时间，盖上舒适的毯子，依偎着看书，品着绿茶。
Xiaohua：Wow, it's lunch time. I'm hungry. I want to eat some steamed corn. You know what, eating steamed corn really cost me an arm and a leg. I'm nearly broke.

场景：小红被怼之后，心里有所不适，决定查下六元一根玉米背后的故事。
The teacher-turned-livestreamer Dong Yuhui once said in an interview with the media that low grain prices hurt farmers. If something is completely unprofitable, then fewer and fewer people will farm in the countryside. So the price cannot be too low. However, the recent popular Dongfang Selection is suspected to be bombarded by Kuaishou livestreamer Xinba, whose real name is Xin Youzhi.
教师出身的主播董宇辉曾在接受媒体采访时表示“谷贱伤农”。如果某事完全无利可图，那么越来越少的人会在农村种地。所以价格不能太低。然而，最近火热的东方甄选却遭到快手主播“辛巴”的“炮轰”。
The influencer was once found to have sold counterfeit bird's nest soup on his streaming sessions. But it turned out that Xinba was really selling syrup. He also posted a lengthy rebuke on fitness influencer Liu Genghong for a case of double standards.
这位网红曾被爆在自己的直播平台上出售假冒燕窝。但后来发现，辛巴其实是在卖“糖浆”。他还发了一篇长文谴责健身网红刘畊宏的“双标事件”。
It seems that the corn supplier of Dongfang Selection joined the fight, making its ears of corn unavailable from Dongfang Selection.
似乎是东方甄选的玉米供应商加入了战斗，使得其玉米在东方甄选上下架了。
Despite the business, the "peasant's child" Dong Yuhui was too young to battle with the experienced livestreamer.
抛开生意不谈，“农民的孩子”董宇辉还是太嫩，无法与经验丰富的主播抗衡。
