Director Jiang's discreet gaze swept over all the guests, then he raised his arm and clapped his hands.
This action was like a command; seven or eight staff members, each carrying a covered plate, came out of the nearest farmhouse and placed the plates one by one on the long table under the pavilion next to it.
This isn't over yet.
Seven or eight staff members went back to the farmhouse, each carrying a covered plate, and placed it on the long table.
The guests looked at the staff and the long table full of plates with a mixture of surprise and disbelief.
How can there be so many plates?
It's impossible that the production team actually prepared almost twenty dishes.
Maybe the number of plates is just impressive, and there's nothing surprisingly delicious on them.
Director Jiang smugly admired the expressions on the guests' faces, raised his arm, and snapped his fingers.
At this command, the staff removed the lids from the plates, revealing the contents.
Braised prawns, steamed crab, sweet and sour pork ribs, braised pork belly with preserved mustard greens, braised chicken in a large plate, Sichuan-style spicy chicken, cola chicken wings, pickled fish, dry-pot potato slices...
[OMG, the production team really did their job this time and didn't lie. This is truly a super luxurious feast!]
[As expected, there's fish, shrimp, and meat; this time, Director Jiang is speaking from the heart.]
I just took a screenshot and counted them; there were a full twenty dishes! The production team really went all out this time.
[The other guests' eyes were red, hahaha, they were so envious!]
Upon seeing all the dishes on the table, the guests were just as shocked as the viewers in the live stream.
Did the production team and Director Jiang really do something this time?
The adults swallowed hard, their stomachs seemingly rumbling in secret.
The children, however, had fewer concerns and worries, and exclaimed with delight.
Feng Xuan: "Braised prawns! Crab!! I want to eat! I want to eat!!"
Ge Ling: "Wow~ There's my favorite meat! I haven't eaten meat in so long."
Although Guo Yicong had a cold expression, his swallowing motion was not too obvious.
Gao Hao's eyes widened, his gaze fixed on the food on the table, never wavering.
Director Jiang proudly put his hands behind his back and said, "Our production team is very conscientious and cares about everyone. Look at all these dishes, isn't it delicious? Don't you really want to eat them?"
"But!" Director Jiang added abruptly, "These only belong to the first place!"
Director Jiang's gaze swept over the other guests with an infuriating air once again, before he said, "President Chi, Cheese, Qin Yuanyao, you can eat now."
However, neither Chi Baiyi nor Qin Yuanyao set off immediately.
Seeing that the other did not move, they glanced at each other, their eyes meeting in mid-air and conveying a certain message.
Chi Baiyi indifferently withdrew his gaze: "You decide."
A series of question marks floated across the screen.
[What does President Chi mean? Does Qin Yuanyao need to make the decisions about having a meal?]
[What? Qin Yuanyao made the decision? They didn't say a word except for exchanging a glance, so why did Qin Yuanyao look like she understood?]
[I see! I was just wondering, twenty dishes! Can CEO Chi and the other two finish them all? Is this really just for the first place winner, and not for everyone?]
[Ah, I get it now. There's no way CEO Chi and the others could finish twenty dishes. The production team specially prepared so many dishes, enough for all the guests.]
The production team probably wanted Qin Yuanyao and the others to share with the other guests.
[The production team should have just said they wanted Qin Yuanyao and the others to share; Director Jiang kept emphasizing that these dishes belonged only to the first-place winner. It seems the production team is only superficially friendly while secretly plotting against them.]
As the comments on the screen showed, Qin Yuanyao and Chi Baiyi both realized that the production team had prepared so many dishes not so that they would eat alone, but so that they would eat with the other guests.
Chi Baiyi's words, "It's up to you," meant that he was no longer going to get involved and would let Qin Yuanyao make the decisions.
Qin Yuanyao didn't care about Chi Baiyi's opinion, but she still wanted to ask Chi Naozi's opinion.
So Qin Yuanyao squatted down and asked Chi Naozi, "Naozi, we can't finish all these dishes, do you want to share them with the other children and uncles and aunts?"
Chi Cheese immediately nodded in agreement: "Okay."
She ate her mother's apple dessert in the afternoon and was so full that she couldn't eat much else.
She was worried about how the three of them would finish so much food.
If we can't finish it, it will be a waste.
However, we must not waste food; farmers work very hard to grow vegetables.
My mother's suggestion would solve the problem that was troubling her.
"Ah," Chi Nao said, pointing her index finger to the sky, "Sister Qin, we have so many apple dishes that you've made, let's share them with everyone!"
Qin Yuanyao patted her fluffy head approvingly: "Okay."
Chi Cheese then ran off to Aunt Wang's house to get some apples and other treats.
Qin Yuanyao invited everyone to sit down: "There are so many dishes, let's all eat together. The production team said it was prepared for the first place winner, but it was actually prepared for all of us. If we eat together, we can finish it and avoid waste. Besides, everyone has worked hard today, so it saves us the trouble of buying ingredients and cooking at home."
Guo Zhuyan pulled Guo Yicong and Ye Rui and sat down first without any hesitation.
"That's exactly what I was waiting for! The moment they opened the lid, I was so hungry!" Guo Zhuyan said casually, "Thanks, I won't pretend to refuse anymore."
