Chapter 9 Playing in the Mud
"No!" Zheng Wen smiled sinisterly, "Since we are here to experience the work of archaeologists, we should follow their work routine as much as possible."
Speaking of this, Zheng Wen has already thought about it. He will release a video of real archaeological cleaning of unearthed cultural relics later.
"Archaeologists hold small shovels and brushes in the wind and sun at the archaeological site. Sometimes they stand or squat for several hours. Sometimes, under harsh conditions, they need to lie on the hanging board to go through the cleaning process for several hours."
Zheng Wen's meaning was obvious, and his tone left no room for doubt, which made Jin Suiran unable to speak any more.
Just when everyone thought that Jin Suiran, who had the temper of a spoiled young lady, would lose her temper or refute in public, the expected thing did not happen. Everyone saw her angrily kicking off her high heels and walking on the ground barefoot.
Without the restraint of high heels, Jin Suiran felt that her feet were finally free.
Since the most difficult person now has no objection, Zheng Wen naturally begins to explain the process of this competition.
"This competition is divided into two parts. The first part requires everyone to experience the work of archaeologists." Zheng Wen straightened his back and said in a loud voice.
"Look at the large archaeological soil blocks in front of you. Each block contains a 'relic', and you need to use the tools in the box at hand to take the 'relic' out of the block."
He was in charge of a variety show before, and there was a guest in the show who took advantage of the loopholes of the program team. In order to win, he did everything he could and often destroyed the props of the program team. In order to prevent such things from happening again, Zheng Wen issued a solemn warning.
"During this competition, you are not allowed to violently destroy this soil block. The 'artifacts' inside are exactly the cultural and creative products that fans will receive after this episode is broadcast. So for better publicity, everyone should take out the items inside as intact as possible."
While Zheng Wen was speaking, the six guests had already started opening the boxes at hand, which contained shovels, watering cans, a pair of gloves, and brushes of several sizes.
Everyone's box contains the same things.
"Listen to me first, then you start!" Seeing that Sun Runchen had already picked up the shovel, he gestured in front of the big lump of earth, trying to find the first starting point.
Sun Runchen now looks like he is before an exam, with the loudspeaker still reading out the exam precautions, while the students below have already picked up their pens and are ready to answer the questions.
Sun Runchen didn't expect that he was caught on the spot. He immediately put the shovel in his hand back into the box and touched the back of his head awkwardly.
It is said that people are particularly busy when they are embarrassed.
Sun Runchen was a little at a loss at the moment, and his eyes kept looking away.
Jin Suiran saw everything Sun Runchen did and complained in his heart: He deserves it!
"Digging out the cultural relics is only the first step. You will then need to find the real cultural relics in the exhibition hall behind you. Once you find them, take a photo with the cultural and creative products. The first person to return here will be able to give his or her fans ten more places to buy cultural and creative products."
Hearing that they could give back to the fans immediately got everyone excited.
Seeing everyone's eager faces, Zheng Wen didn't want to dampen their appetite, so he gave the order, "Begin!"
After getting permission, the six guests immediately pulled out tools from the toolbox.
Xu Zhao touched the hard clod of earth. She first picked up the watering can, found a spot, pressed and sprayed water until the area was moist.
Then she took a hand shovel and started to shovel this place continuously, removing large pieces of useless soil. The paint would be slightly looser after being moistened. She immediately opened up a gap with the other guests.
As for the other few people, they started by taking shovels and shoveling hard. It took a lot of effort and soil fragments flew all over the ground, but the soil in front of them was only slightly broken.
Qiao Zhijing glanced at Xu Zhao who was not far away.
Just during the break, his agent whispered in his ear, asking him to pay more attention to Xu Zhao.
After all, this program is not a purely entertainment variety show, but an educational variety show backed by the country.
It is an open secret in the entertainment industry that celebrities have low cultural levels.
But even though everyone knows it, they all tacitly don't say it out loud. But if you do something really stupid and are labeled as uneducated, you will be repeatedly dragged out and criticized, and your popularity with the public will likely collapse.
You can be stupid in variety shows, but you can’t be stupid all the time.
Therefore, Qiao Zhijing's agent told him to look at what Xu Zhao did when he encountered problems, because it would never go wrong to learn from a top student.
He saw Xu Zhao spraying water, so he also picked up the spray bottle. After the soil was moistened, it was indeed much easier to deal with than before.
Others immediately followed suit.
Xu Zhao's movements were skillful. When she was a child, she would often be taken to archaeological sites by her father. Like everyone else, she did play in the mud when she was old enough.
It’s just that others play with ordinary mud, while Xu Zhao plays with mud that carries the history.
However, after she started school, she never touched these things again. Many things in her memory had long been blurred, and now she had to rely entirely on her feelings to operate.
Most of the soil in Xu Zhao's hand has been peeled off, and the cultural and creative products inside have been exposed. The rest is all delicate work.
She continued spraying with the spray bottle, then picked up a small bamboo stick and began to scrape the dirt off the cultural products.
This job requires a lot of patience and carefulness. While scraping off the dirt on the cultural relics, the cultural relics inside cannot be damaged.
Slowly, Xu Zhao, who had been standing straight, began to bend down unconsciously. Her face was very close to the table, and she looked very carefully.
Everyone has reached the stage of taking their time to do a good job.
Not being able to sit in a chair is a torture for everyone.
Xu Zhao took a brush and brushed away the last bit of dirt on the surface of the cultural and creative products, revealing her cultural and creative products completely.
The mask has a green face and fangs, and is covered with strange and twisted totem patterns. The most attractive feature is the blood-moon-shaped pattern on the forehead with a sudden color.
The mask in her hand was very large. She held it and compared it with her face. It was basically the same as her face.
After bending over for a long time, it is hard to describe the pain and discomfort when you suddenly straighten your back.
Xu Zhao almost cried because of the pain. She was about to wipe her hands with her hands, but then she remembered the series of operations just now. Her hands were now covered with dirt, so she picked up the spray bottle and simply washed her hands.
Qiao Zhijing and Sun Runchen were unwilling to fall behind, so they sped up.
The first step was completed, and Xu Zhao ran into the exhibition hall with the mask. Temporary lead was only temporary. Someone might be lucky enough to find the cultural relics as soon as they entered the door, so Xu Zhao began to jog. She had to race against time to gain more benefits for her fans.
