Ye Qinchuan wondered what was wrong. Why was she pointing at him?
Seeing that Ye Qinchuan didn't understand, Su Ya then explained.
"Count, next level."
Oh right, Ye Qinchuan then realized that he was still recording a program and had to reveal the clues for the next level.
So he took out a piece of paper.
Su Linxi took the note and saw a line of text written on it.
"A half-acre pond reflects the sky like a mirror."
"Little sister, what does this mean?"
"painting."
What does the painting mean?
"What does this painting mean?"
Su Ya looked at her second brother and wondered if they were born to the same parents.
"The exit for the next level is behind a painting."
"Wow, this production team is really cunning. What do we do now?"
"wait."
"Why?"
“There are 100 paintings in this building, upstairs and downstairs. It would take two people a long time to find them all.”
Su Linxi never expected that in just a few hours, her younger sister would have memorized so many paintings.
This memory is truly unbeatable.
But how did she come up with the idea of recording it in drawings?
In fact, after Su Ya came in, she made a complete record of the number of everything in the room.
She didn't know how the show was designed.
For her, she can remember something at a glance.
It doesn't take much effort.
So the two of them waited at the dining table.
Almost an hour later, the other groups finally brought out their three dishes and soup.
It was placed in front of Ye Qinchuan. It was made by Mu Naizi and Mu Muzi first.
Although Ye Qinchuan was already full, he still reluctantly picked up the utensils beside him and took a bite.
What I was thinking was...
"What kind of culinary abomination is this? He's afraid he'll end up in the hospital after eating it."
So he quickly shook his head.
In other words, the dishes made by Munako and Mumuko did not pass the test.
Next up were Li Xiulu and Anyadi.
I made a standard Western meal: mashed potatoes, pan-fried steak, vegetable salad, and then a cream of mushroom soup. Cream of mushroom soup is a classic Western dish, made primarily with mushrooms, and its cooking technique mainly involves braising. The flavor is creamy and savory.
The count tasted it. It was acceptable; he approved.
Then it was Junjunzi and Ziling's turn. Junjunzi made three spicy dishes: boiled sliced pork, stir-fried beef, and Mapo tofu. She also made a bowl of West Lake beef soup.
The count paid his dues and the matter was approved.
Finally, it was Chu Kexin and Chu Kening's turn. They also served the three dishes and soup they had prepared. The dishes were minced meat with vermicelli, stir-fried eggplant, potatoes, and green peppers, and stir-fried pork with shredded pork and wood ear mushrooms. The soup was tomato and egg soup, which looked quite appetizing, but the Earl took one bite and spat it out. It was extremely salty. "How much salt did they put in?" he exclaimed.
Then he picked up a bowl of soup and started to drink it, only to spray it all out with a "pfft." The taste was truly indescribable; it tasted like dishwater.
The count, played by Ye Qinchuan, couldn't hold back any longer. He asked, "Did you forget to wash the pot when you made this dish?"
Chu Kening nodded; she always did it this way at home. Chu Kexin didn't say anything.
The result, of course, was that it was rejected.
In the end, only Suya and William Su, Li Xiulu and Anyadi, Ziling and Junjunzi passed the test.
Munaier was somewhat unconvinced, "What about the food they made?"
Kinako pointed at Suya and William Su and asked.
“Their Earl Ben has already finished eating.”
The count gave two slips of paper to those who passed.
Above the road and the inscription on the road read: "The mountain shape changes, the old appearance is altered."
The sentence written above Zi Ling and Jun Junzi's words reads: "Go to great lengths to transform the fields."
Lishulu and Anyadi readily showed their notes to Suya, since they couldn't guess the answer anyway. Suya told them the answer was a painting.
Junjunzi wanted to show the note to Suya, but Ziling refused. She didn't want that girl to steal all the limelight. However, she couldn't guess what it was.
"Stop guessing. If I'm not mistaken, the answer to your riddle is also a painting. There are 100 paintings in this castle. So we need to split into three groups to search and check if there are hidden doors behind each painting."
"There are so many! How long will it take to investigate them all?"
Then the butler arrived.
"Guests, since there are a few fewer of you now, I can give you a little hint: that painting is the Earl's favorite painting."
"The Earl's favorite painting? There are so many paintings, how am I supposed to know which one it is?" Zi Ling complained after hearing this.
Su Ya left first after hearing this.
Time is precious, and she doesn't want to stay here forever.
The others ignored Ziling and followed her, even Junjunzi abandoned Ziling and left with the main group.
Although Zi Ling was somewhat unwilling, she did not want to be locked up here forever.
Besides, my stomach has already started to protest.
To be honest, if Su Ya hadn't been so quick to solve the puzzle, they wouldn't have been able to do so so fast. And if Su Ya hadn't offered the red potion for road repairs, they might not have been able to pass the first level so quickly. This first level alone would have kept them trapped for seven or eight hours, and then a bug appeared.
Everyone followed Su Ya, and then they saw that Su Ya didn't look at the paintings on the first and second floors. Instead, she went straight up the stairs to the third floor.
"Are we looking for a painting? Why are we going up to the third floor?"
Zi Ling quickened her pace and stopped Su Ya at the top of the stairs, asking her a question.
Suya ignored her.
We continued straight up.
Zi Ling was a little angry, so she went downstairs alone.
"I'll definitely be the first to find it." Then she started searching through the paintings one by one.
Suya and the others went up to the third floor.
The light came on, but it was barely enough to see.
There are only three rooms on the three-story building.
Two of the doors were open, while only one was locked.
Suya did not go to the locked room.
Instead, they went straight into the other two rooms with their doors open.
Su Ya first observed the two rooms and found that their furnishings were not much different. Moreover, there were several paintings hanging in both rooms, and they were all world-famous works, which were known to everyone.
So they went back into a room with three paintings hanging inside. The first painting was "The Merchant Who Sold His Child," a painting with a theme of human and divine unity, in a typical neoclassical style. The figures were meticulously modeled, solemn and calm. The mistress was portrayed as noble and reserved, while the female merchant pulled a winged little boy (undoubtedly a little angel) from her basket, creating a dramatic scene. The second painting was "The Gleaners," which depicted people picking up the remaining wheat ears from the fields after the autumn harvest in the countryside. The figures in the painting were realistic and vivid, the brushwork was simple, and the colors were bright and soft. It embodied Millet's deep feelings about peasant life and was a typical representative of the realist art style. The third painting was "The Starry Night." Van Gogh used exaggerated techniques to vividly depict the starry sky full of movement and change. [1] The whole picture was swallowed by a surging, turbulent blue-green torrent. The rotating, restless, and curling nebulae made the night sky unusually active. The detached scene reflected Van Gogh's restless emotions and crazy world of illusion.
Suya glanced at the three paintings; none of them were the Earl's favorite.
So they left that house and went to another room.
