"How can it be a waste? I've already stressed that you should take only as much as you can eat. Besides, the chefs set the amount based on the number of people at the time, so there shouldn't be much waste. And don't you think this gives everyone more time to spend together freely?"
Li Wenying looked at the people gathered in groups of two or three and nodded, "That's right! This way everyone can find the person they like on their own."
"It also reduces the workload of the chefs in the kitchen. Otherwise, it would be difficult to satisfy so many people, with each wanting to eat that and the other wanting that. I'd probably be exhausted and unable to cook!"
"You're right, Lin Jiaojiao still has the idea!"
Wang Shuanglian admired from the side: "It's just that I see that most of them have girls at one table and boys at another, so there's still not enough communication."
"That's easy. Is there a speaker?"
“…” Although Li Wenying didn’t know what she was going to do, she still took the initiative to hand over the loudspeaker.
A crackling sound was heard, and everyone stopped what they were doing one after another and looked at the three people standing in the middle.
Lin Jiaojiao picked up the microphone and said with a smile, "Does everyone think the food is delicious?"
"tasty!"
"So, was today's show good?"
"nice!"
Everyone joined in the fun and looked very happy.
Lin Jiaojiao saw it all and continued, "It's fate that we're all gathered here together. Today is a buffet, and you can eat whatever you want and for as long as you want. The most important thing is to have fun and relax, but just eating isn't very interesting. Why don't we play a game together?"
"Playing games?"
"What game? I don't know how to play games."
Seeing the confused discussion among the people around him, Mu Xiaotang jumped out first and asked, "What game do you want to play?"
"The first game is called Name Chain."
"name?"
"Yes, I know that most of the people sitting here don't know each other. It's fate that we can meet here today. In that case, we naturally can't miss the opportunity to get to know everyone. The rules of this game are that starting from the northeast corner, ten people form a group and say their own names. For example, if his name is Zhang San, then the person on his right must say that he is Li Si next to Zhang San. Going further right, he must say that he is whoever is next to Li Si next to Zhang San, until he returns to Zhang San. He must also say everyone's name. The loser has to come out to play the game!"
"Then the first person is at a great disadvantage!"
"Exactly! How can you remember so many people at once?"
"How can this be a disadvantage? The next game will only be more fun!"
"Then I'll come and give it a try. Just be in a group with me!"
Mu Xiaotang was originally a playful person, so when he heard about such an interesting game, he was naturally the first to step forward.
Jiang Hao, who had been watching her silently from the side, reached out his hand very quickly when he saw her come out: "I'm coming too!"
The soldiers following Jiang Hao had already seen through what this brat was thinking, and they all stood up and joined in the fun.
Then a few more girls came.
When Lin Jinbao saw the short-haired girl come in, he immediately followed her out: "I want to play too, I'll stand here!"
"Okay, ten people, let's start the game!"
With Lin Jiaojiao's command, the tense game session officially began.
Unexpectedly, the girl with short hair started first. Lin Jinbao was so busy remembering the girl's name that he forgot that he was the second person on the right. Under everyone's urging, he stumbled and forgot his own name due to nervousness and blushing, which made everyone laugh. He came down after two minutes.
After he left, new people took his place.
Seeing that everyone was having a great time and the short-haired girl was smiling happily, I couldn't help feeling disappointed.
After a game, all the men and women relaxed completely, and many people remembered each other's names.
Next game, one dollar and fifty cents.
Boys get one yuan and girls get fifty cents.
Lin Jiaojiao casually said a number of money, and everyone could form a team based on the number. Those who failed to complete it within the specified time would be punished.
Lin Jinbao actively joined in and just wanted to say a few more words to his beloved daughter.
But there was nothing I could do and I couldn't get a word in for a long time.
He was even fired several times in a row, and his face turned red from drinking!
After the game was over, everyone stopped gathering as before.
Pairs of young men and women sat or stood together, their cheeks shy, their eyes revealing unconcealable affection and joy.
Of course, just as there are people who are successful in love, there are also people who are unsuccessful in love!
In the corner, Lin Jinbao watched the short-haired girl chatting happily with another soldier, and he felt extremely aggrieved.
At this moment, a clear voice rang out: "Hello, comrade."
Lin Jinbao looked up and saw a cute girl with a round face. His eyes lit up and he stood up immediately: "What's the matter, girl?"
He knew that he was not bad!
Although I didn't get to say a few words to the goddess I fell in love with at first sight, the fact that the girl in front of me was willing to chat with me made it worth the trip here.
But the girl's next words were like a bucket of cold water poured over her head.
"The comrade who just spoke to you, the one in front, what was his name? I can't remember it just now."
Lin Jinbao looked in the direction of his finger and saw that it was indeed the soldier who had just spoken.
Because he is my brother-in-law's subordinate, I have met him twice.
"Are you here to inquire about him?"
"Yeah, I didn't remember his name, so it's hard to go up and talk to him."
Lin Jinbao looked at the girl's sincere eyes and could only say her name with a forced smile, watching the lovely girl walk towards the soldier.
He went back and forth like this until the buffet was completely over and everyone left in twos and threes, but he didn't hook up with any of the girls.
Lin Jiaojiao saw everything and was about to go forward to comfort them when she was interrupted by the two people chasing in front.
"Wait a minute! What's your name, girl? Where do you live? Can I take you there?"
"Why should I tell you?"
"Your accent doesn't sound like you're from the island. Have you been here for a few days? Have you walked around? I'm very familiar with this place. If I have time recently, I can take you around!"
"Are you really familiar with this place?"
Jiang Hao nodded immediately when he heard there was a chance. "Of course! I also know of some fun places on several nearby islands. Especially in this season, there's one island with a particularly beautiful sunset glow. And after watching it, you can just catch the last boat back. Do you want to go? If you're worried, you can bring a few friends and we can go together!"
"Tsk! What are you worried about? Just go!"
"Then you should tell me your name."
"I won't tell you!"
Mu Xiaotang snorted arrogantly, turned around and saw Lin Jiaojiao running towards him excitedly.
