What can you talk about for ten dollars? Somebody explain.

"Can we talk about ten dollars?" In fact, this is a joke, which originated from Zhao Benshan and Song Dandan's Spring Festival Evening skits. The name of the sketch is the hourly worker. In the sketch, Zhao Benshan was brought to the city by his son from the countryside, and his neighbors were not familiar with him. His son was afraid that Zhao Benshan was ill, so he hired an hourly worker to chat with him. Song Dandan, who plays a part-time worker, chatted with Zhao Benshan for a while. After Zhao Benshan made Song Dandan angry, Song Dandan left. Then Zhao Benshan didn't know what to say, and Song Dandan said to accompany you for another ten dollars. That's how this sentence evolved.

To put it bluntly, there is a charge for chatting with you. In fact, it's just a funny joke.
