Chapter 1
By 3:30 in the afternoon, when theoretically it was time for Gong Ye to put on makeup and change clothes to prepare for the script-killing show in the evening, Gong Ye still hadn't caught the goose.
It seemed like the lottery tickets in his pocket were endless. He used the rings one after another. Even Qin Can successfully caught a goose with his superb ring-tossing skills, but Gong Ye still didn't catch a single goose feather.
Gong Ye is the director, he can come anytime, if not, it's ok, he can keep asking. Jiang Qi and his friends could only say goodbye first, leaving with their spoils full of money.
Thanks to the sponsorship of Boss Gong and everyone's own strength, Jiang Qi and his companions reaped a lot of benefits in the parent-child park.
Two big geese, three dolls (won by Liu Lan), one bottle of water (won by Jiang Wanwan), one puzzle box (won by Wang Erya shooting), four big dolls, seven snack gift packs, one microwave, one kettle and one oven exchange voucher (all of the above were obtained by Huang Fugui shooting arrows)
The standard for winning rewards in archery is similar to that in darts. Because archery is more difficult, you have to hit all the targets (10 nine-rings or above) twice to win the prize. Huang Fugui's archery skills are totally different from those of a modern person who is not an archery enthusiast. Almost every arrow hits the bull's eye, making him a modern archery god.
It was a pity that when Huang Fugui was shooting arrows silently, everyone was watching the geese. When Huang Fugui’s lottery tickets were used up, everyone realized that he was here to purchase goods.
Who would have thought that the biggest winner of Fang Jing’s company’s team-building event would be Huang Fugui.
When Jiang Qi and his group arrived at the changing area with their spoils, everyone was stunned. In order to store the spoils, the staff even found an empty room for them.
After everyone changed their clothes, they all began to line up consciously to ask Wang Erya to help them alter their clothes, and some even brought their own paper clips.
After making sure that there were no problems with the clothes, it was time to put on makeup. Fang Jing did not hire a professional makeup artist. The three young ladies who helped everyone with makeup were all employees of Jiang Shu's company. They were ordinary employees and part-time makeup artists. They had rich experience in makeup and could handle it casually without any problem.
Most girls have delicate makeup on their own and only need to touch up their makeup. Boys don’t need to apply detailed makeup either, they just need to apply a simple foundation, cover up pimples, and be camera-friendly.
At half past five, Gong Ye, who had failed in his attempt to trap the goose, arrived late.
The sky was still bright, but it was much cooler than before. Seeing that it was almost time, Xiao Zhao and Lao Zhao asked everyone to go to the commercial street to prepare. Xiao Zhao went to the broadcasting room to inform everyone in the park to come to the commercial area before six o'clock.
Zhou Yuan was the first to arrive at the entrance of the commercial district.
While most of her colleagues were only looking forward to today's garden party and magic show, Zhou Yuan was only looking forward to the script-killing show in the evening.
To be precise, she was not very excited about the script-killing game, after all, she had already played it twice.
What she was looking forward to was the vegetable noodles tonight.
In order to better prepare for the vegetable noodles tonight, Zhou Yuan only drank a bottle of mineral water and ate a grilled sausage during the entire tour of the garden.
What if Huang Fugui cooked a few more bowls? How could he eat one more bowl of vegetable noodles than others if he didn't empty his stomach in advance to make full preparations?
Zhou Yuan was greeted with a price list.
There are more than 80 characters, and except for 30 contestants, the rest are spectators, and all have clear prices.
The price for all 30 contestants is the same, 10 tickets.
The onlookers coming from other places don’t need coupons.
Ordinary local townspeople: 5 coupons.
Local wealthy people and officials, 20 coupons.
The number of wealthy families and officials was very limited, with only six vacancies, including the county magistrate Fang Jing. After all, Taiping Town was just a small town, and there were only so many dignitaries, so it would be unrealistic to have more.
The most important thing is that with Wang Erya there, it is impossible to serve tea and water.
Zhou Yuan was deeply attracted by this role price list.
She had coupons on her. After all, Xiao Zhao had reminded everyone before entering the park that the coupons could be exchanged for lottery tickets after all activities were over, so everyone more or less kept their coupons.
Zhou Yuan can’t cook, and the limit she can reach is to cook something for herself. She doesn’t consider being a contestant.
She didn't consider officials and wealthy people. She just kept 40 coupons and spent 20 coupons to buy an identity because she was afraid that she would not have any coupons for the lottery.
"I want..." Zhou Yuan was the first to arrive. She had plenty of time to choose. She didn't care even if the cameraman was filming her with a camera.
"This is Niu Cuihua, a local." Zhou Yuan said, took out the coupon and handed it to the staff member, waiting for him to make the change.
Half a minute later, Zhou Yuan received an ID card that could be pinned on her chest and a specially made identity information card, and walked happily into the commercial district.
After Zhou Yuan, people who were already wandering around the commercial district also arrived one after another.
The identity of the contestants was the first to be sold short.
The staff will explain in advance that the chef competition is not about cooking but barbecue. One advantage of barbecue is that it is easy to learn, and as long as it is not burnt, the food you make will basically be acceptable.
As for the specific taste, whether it is delicious, unpalatable, or life-threatening, it seems not so important compared to the fun of the competition.
Most people are still willing to spend 10 tickets to buy the identity of a contestant and have a good time.
The onlookers who didn't want to pay were the second empty one.
The third one is an ordinary townsman.
In the end, three of the dignitaries were bought by leaders who had played before, and two were bought by a lantern riddle master who had so many coupons that he could not spend them all.
Zhou Yuan's manager bought the role of a wealthy household, whose identity was Mrs. Qian, the proprietress of a silk shop in town. Her husband had died of illness a few years ago. Another wealthy household role was Mrs. Qian's daughter, who was bought by another female manager who came with her.
Two colleagues of similar age took on the roles of mother and daughter, and both found it very fresh.
It was almost 6 o'clock when the two arrived. Basically all the players had entered and the area around the square was bustling with activity.
The 30 contestants were standing in front of their respective grills, studying what ingredients and seasonings were available.
Some of the onlookers were chatting with NPCs, some were buying drinks, and some were reading the menu to the barbecue masters in the venue, asking them to grill more because they were counting on them for tonight's dinner.
"This real scene is so lively." Zhou Yuan's manager sighed, "If everyone changes into ancient costumes, it will be just like filming a movie."
As they were talking, Wang Erya, who had been standing in the crowd waiting for Mrs. Qian and Miss Qian, came over.
Wang Erya had memorized all the names on the name tags in advance.
"Mrs. Qian, Miss Qian." Wang Erya bowed to the two of them like a maid in the front yard bowing to her masters, and said respectfully, "Your seats are ready. I will take you there."
Miss Qian looked at Wang Erya's name tag and asked with a smile, "Qinghe, whose maid are you?"
"I am a maid in Mr. Huang's family. Mr. Cooking God asked our Mr. Huang to host today's competition. I am responsible for serving you all."
The seats for the dignitaries were in the pavilion, with six small stone benches and a small stone table. On the stone table were four cups of tea, fruits, snacks and candied fruits, and six small plates, which was a very rich feast.
Fang Jing sat in the place with the best view. Two ordinary employees with more coupons sat on the stone bench farthest from Fang Jing and silently ate melon seeds.
Wang Erya led Madam Qian and Miss Qian to their seats and said, "What would Madam Qian and Miss Qian like to drink? Our family has prepared orange juice, cola, Sprite, iced black tea, herbal tea, jasmine green tea, jasmine tea, green plum green tea, sour plum soup and mineral water."
"Mineral water." Mrs. Qian said.
"Herbal tea." Miss Qian said.
Wang Erya went over to pour drinks.
"Wow, the welfare benefits of this wealthy family are quite good. Not only do they have a place to sit, but they can also eat snacks and drink for free." Miss Qian sighed, "These 20 coupons are worth it."
"The maid's acting is quite good. As soon as I came in, she came up to me, bowed and called me Master Cheng. I almost didn't react. I was shocked." said the manager who took the role of Master Cheng, the owner of the rice shop.
"Hey, what did Qinghe shout when Mr. Fang came in?" asked Mrs. Qian.
Fang Jing silently drank a sip of water and wanted to respond in silence, but he found that the stubborn employee was looking at him with sharp eyes, so he silently said, "Mr. Magistrate."
"After that he kowtowed to me."
Fang Jing knew that this matter could not be kept secret.
When Wang Erya kowtowed to him, the cameraman was filming nearby.
He bet that Gong Ye also had someone take a close-up of his facial expression.
Don't ask him why he was so sure. The reason is that he saw Gong Ye laughing so hard that he almost fell to the ground.
