Chapter 9 Winning first place caused controversy
Lu Jinsen turned around and glanced at Meng Chuyuan, and said expressionlessly, "Can you please stop eating? There won't be enough to weigh later."
"It's no big deal, at most you can just take a few more shots."
Lu Jinsen: “…”
Meng Chuyuan saw that he had been busy for a while, and he had over-exerted himself in the beginning, so his efficiency was getting lower and lower.
After she finished eating the last date, she couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so she rubbed her hands, picked up the bamboo pole and prepared to take action herself.
Just at this time, the foreman came over to their side. Seeing that Meng Chuyuan had not yet swung the pole, he enthusiastically stepped forward to instruct: "You can tilt the bamboo pole a little bit."
"Like this?" Meng Chuyuan adjusted the tilt angle.
"No, it's too low. I can't hit the dates on top."
The foreman directly adjusted her bamboo pole to the appropriate position, but Meng Chuyuan silently let go of her hand at some point and wisely stepped back.
Because it's really too crowded for two people to stand together.
The foreman had no choice but to continue holding the bamboo pole and said to her carefully: "Place the pole like this and then knock it down."
Meng Chuyuan stood by the side the whole time, watching the foreman knock the dates down from the tree. The process was so fast, accurate and ruthless that it was over in the blink of an eye.
"You were operating too fast just now. I didn't see clearly."
"It's okay, I'll try it again for you." The foreman was a kind-hearted man. He said he would demonstrate it once, but his hands did not stop moving. He took pictures of several jujube trees in a row and was talking to Meng Chuyuan incessantly.
The number of people in the live broadcast room suddenly soared, as if they were all here to watch Meng Chuyuan work. However, the more they watched, the more they noticed something was wrong:
【Why didn't you learn just now? Now you are willing to learn with an open mind? 】
[Why do I feel like she doesn't seem to be asking for advice? ]
[You don't look like you're asking for advice. You're just standing there without doing anything. Do you think you can learn anything just by watching?]
What do you mean, the foreman became her free worker?
[Isn't this a foul? The dates are already at her feet.]
[She is playing a new kind of cheating]
[666, I finally realized that the foreman was giving this date to their group.]
However, this was not what Meng Chuyuan was thinking at the time. Seeing the foreman coming over and teaching enthusiastically, she had to give face to her elders.
Who knew that the foreman was too enthusiastic and kept tapping a row of jujube trees, leaving Meng Chuyuan with no chance to get started.
Lu Jinsen was also confused watching from the side, but when he saw the red dates under the tree, his eyes instantly brightened up.
However, Meng Chuyuan finally participated in picking dates, and the overall effect was quite good. The foreman nodded with satisfaction after seeing it.
Two hours later, Meng Chuyuan and his group were the first to put the dates into the fruit baskets and carried them up to be weighed.
The final weight was 6.3 kilograms more than their original weight. Since they were the first to complete the task, they could get 45 labor coins, and they were rewarded with an additional 5 labor coins for completing the task overweight.
What the hell? Are the production team blind? The foreman just helped them, so why is he giving them extra labor coins as a reward?
[Can you win by cheating? Is this fair to the other two groups?]
[Xswl, what's wrong with them cheating and winning? Didn't you see their group had an extra 6.3 kg? That extra weight is the foreman's, so they deserved the win, right?]
[Those who spoke up for Lu Jinsen's group earlier, are you one of their paid trolls? Cheating is cheating, there's no point in trying to justify it.]
"Their speed is indeed good, so first place is fine, but isn't the extra reward a bit excessive?"
[Excuse me, were you watching carefully just now? It's not Meng who's taking advantage of the situation; the problem lies with the foreman. And the director didn't even say it was a foul. Really, he's just meddling in other people's business.]
Seeing that Meng Chuyuan and Lu Jinsen had already obtained the labor coins, the other two groups panicked. Everyone was competing with each other, and within half an hour, the two groups also completed the task.
Qi Zhen and Qi Yan received 39 labor coins. It was a pity for Liao Jiake's group. The two girls ranked third in this task and only received 30 labor coins.
As the live variety show is in full swing, a large number of related terms are listed on the hot search list.
#Lu Jinsen's team won first place and caused controversy#
#Lu Jinsen's sister-in-law doesn't follow the rules of the game#
#Liao Jiake's team unfortunately failed miserably in the variety show task#
#Feeling sorry for Liao Jiake and Qi Zhen's hands#
…
Many netizens were attracted by the title on the hot search and rushed to the live broadcast room to watch the show.
Next comes the labor coin exchange for food. There is only one portion of each food. The rules require them to use the labor coins they just obtained to obtain the desired ingredients through bidding. The starting price for meat is 2 labor coins, and the starting price for vegetarian dishes is 1 labor coin. The highest bidder wins.
First, the program team revealed today's menu to the guests.
Meat options include chicken breast, beef, fish, roast duck and ribs.
Vegetarian dishes include bok choy, lotus root, pumpkin, okra, tofu, corn, yam...
Before the auction started, the director deliberately left some time for the guests to discuss within their groups.
Qi Zhen looked at his sister and asked gently, "Sister, what do you want to eat?"
Qi Yan thought for a while and said, "Let's shoot a fish. It's safer and there shouldn't be much competition. Then we can shoot a small cabbage. If there are still coins left, we can get something else."
On the other side, Liao Jiake and Liao Jiayan were also discussing countermeasures.
"Sister, I want to eat fish."
Liao Jiake nodded in agreement and said without hesitation, "Okay, let's take some pictures of the fish later."
[Wow, fish are so popular right now]
I love beef, but I fainted in the bathroom crying. Why do people choose fish? Isn’t beef delicious?
[Everyone wants fish, hahaha, let’s go, brother Qi Zhen! ]
[Just kidding, how could my Coco not get what she wants? She’s the goddess of luck.]
There’s something wrong with me. I actually envy that fish.
Lu Jinsen and Meng Chuyuan chose to remain silent at this moment. There was no discussion or solution, and they didn't even make eye contact.
Three minutes later, the gong sounded and the first round of bidding for ingredients officially began.
Director: "First, let's auction the first item - chicken breast. The starting bid is 2 Labor Dollars. Bidding is now open. Anyone want to bid?"
All the guests present were silent, and seemed to have no interest in chicken breast.
When the director asked for the second time, Qi Zhen suddenly felt excited: "Sister, do we want it?"
Qi Yan pursed her lips and said nothing, but she was also hesitant.
Liao Jiake's group originally had the fewest labor coins in the entire venue. At this stage, she became more cautious and did not dare to bid actively.
Qi Zhen thought about it again and again, and decided to be more conservative: "Sister, how about we shout first? No one is shouting now anyway."
She nodded and said, "Then let's try adding a coin and see if anyone wants it. If not, we'll take it."
After the two of them discussed it, Qi Zhen shouted to the director, "3 labor coins."
"Okay, 3 labor coins. Anyone else want one? 3 labor coins at a time..." When the director called for the third time, the other two groups still didn't move, so the chicken breast went straight to Qi Zhen's group: "Deal!"
