Chapter 237: Quiz Continue!
Cough cough cough, the director tried his best to calm himself down behind everyone's back, serious, serious! He stretched out his right hand and wiped his face, the corners of his mouth that were turned up in a smile were forced to flatten down.
When he turned his head again, he was still the calm and serious director.
The breakfast corresponding to the fifth question is hand-pulled mutton.
Four steaming plates of large chunks of mutton were placed in front of everyone. The mutton looked mostly lean with very little fat, and it was incredibly tempting.
Xu Wang and the others kept their eyes fixed on the plates in front of them.
The director nodded in satisfaction upon seeing this scene and swiped up on the screen.
The question for the fifth question is: qiāng hài
This question is misleading.
"No, this question is too easy. Did the director see that we didn't eat enough and give us another easy question?" Jiang Xiubai scratched his head in confusion after writing down the answer.
Yunxi glanced at the answers written on the answer sheet in his hand and looked puzzled. Wasn't this a bit too easy? She had a feeling that there was a trap involved.
The other two groups did not start writing easily.
Gu Yunlan no longer dared to be arrogant, and he obediently watched his wife think seriously.
Xu Wang also frowned in confusion.
"Have you got any leads?" Pei Yanchuan whispered in Xu Wang's ear.
Xu Wang neither nodded nor shook his head; he simply picked up a marker and wrote two words on the answer board.
Gunshot wound.
"Although that's what I thought, my sixth sense tells me that the answer might be wrong, and the director probably wouldn't make it that easy." After Xu Wang finished speaking, he picked up a cloth from the side and wiped away the two words on the board.
Pei Yanchuan nodded slightly upon hearing this.
Xu Wang turned his head to look at Pei Yanchuan's still calm face. He lazily leaned his head against Pei Yanchuan's chest, then raised his head slightly and reached out to poke Pei Yanchuan's face with a smile.
"President Pei, what are your thoughts?"
"A little," Pei Yanchuan said with a hint of a smile.
Upon hearing Pei Yanchuan's words, Xu Wang immediately handed over the answer board: "President Pei, please make your move."
Pei Yanchuan slowly wrote two words on the answer board with a marker.
When Xu Wang saw this answer, his eyes lit up, and he said, "It can't be that simple."
The other two groups also wrote down their final answers at the last minute.
Open the answer sheet.
Harm, harm, gunshot, harm.
Jiang Xiubai was stunned when he saw that his answer was the only one that was different from all the answers. How come everyone was so amazing? Was he the only one whose academic performance was not good?
Yunxi was also confused; he really didn't know how to do this question.
[Can I say that my thoughts are exactly the same as Jiang Xiu and Bai Yunxi's?]
[Add one, to verify this answer I even opened my input method, only to find after typing it out that the real answer wasn't what I thought at all. (Facepalm)]
[Jiang Xiubai, Yunxi's group won't end up only eating mutton shumai, will they?]
[I can only say it's possible; it all depends on whether the director will go easy on the last question.]
[Director: Do I look like that to you? (Stares)]
[Okay, not at all, not even a little bit.]
[Hahahaha.]
……………………
The director looked at the only plate of hand-pulled mutton that had been taken away, and then looked regretfully at the seats where Jiang Xiu and Bai Yunxi's group were sitting. "Two kids, it's tough."
The food associated with the last question is the famous local beef jerky.
The freshly roasted beef jerky is made with firm, meaty pieces. It comes in various textures, including super dry, lean, and fatty varieties, and is available in flavors such as original, cumin, five-spice, and spicy.
This immediately filled everyone with enthusiasm.
The director turned to the last question.
The last question is: 觞觥觚斛
The moment the question appeared on the screen, everyone paused for a second.
The same thing happened in the comment section of the live stream.
[Wait, is there something wrong with my eyes? Why did the director just reveal the answer?]
[Open-book exam? ???]
[Is the director about to unleash the floodgates?]
[Help! I don't really recognize these four characters!]
Can I say that I read it entirely according to the pronunciation of the part on the right? (Headache)
[Me too. (Quietly raises hand)]
Me too.
[Add one, add one.]
……………………
"Director, did you make a mistake? Why did you just show the answer?" Xia Yu asked, looking puzzled.
Everyone else looked at him at the same time.
When the director heard Xia Yu's question, he smiled and gently shook his index finger: "No, no, no, teachers, don't worry, I didn't make a mistake. For the last question, we're not going to write the character based on the pinyin, but rather we'll write the pinyin based on the character."
The director's words resounded like a thunderclap in everyone's ears.
"Teachers need to answer quickly, time waits for no one," the director reminded them with a smile.
Upon hearing the director's words, Xu Wang and the others turned their attention back to the big screen.
Jiang Xiubai and Yunxi were completely stunned.
Xia Yu knew most of the pronunciations, but he got stuck on one character and hesitated to write it down.
Qin Huai also frowned. He adjusted his glasses with one hand and began repeatedly erasing and rewriting on the answer board with the other.
Xu Wang wrote down the pronunciation of the first and fourth characters. Then, he nimbly twirled the black marker with his right hand and stared thoughtfully at the two characters in the middle of the screen.
Pei Yanchuan's gaze was drawn to Xu Wang's nimble right hand, where a black marker was constantly moving between his slender, fair fingers.
Pei Yanchuan reached out his left hand and grasped Xu Wang's right hand. The black marker slipped from their hands, and Pei Yanchuan took the opportunity to slip his hand between Xu Wang's fingers, interlocking their fingers.
Xu Wang slowly turned his head to look at his right hand. He gently exerted force, and Pei Yanchuan immediately gripped it even tighter.
"Stop fooling around, I'm answering a question." Xu Wang loosened his grip.
"Leave it to me." Pei Yanchuan picked up the marker with his free right hand and quickly wrote down the remaining two answers on the answer board.
The cameraman recorded their every move.
[President Pei, where should I put my hand? Where should I put it?]
[My wife's hands can only be mine!!! (Anger level off the charts)]
[Ahhh, this action is so suggestive!]
After the quiz time was over, the director smiled and looked at the guests in front of him.
"Teachers, please announce your final answers one by one."
Xia Yu had a look of grim determination on her face, while Hou Yunqi quickly flipped open the answer board in front of the two of them. The whiteboard read: shāng guāng gū hú.
Gu Yunlan appeared very confident. He happily flipped open the answer sheet that his wife had just finished writing on. The answer sheet read: shāng guāng guā hú.
Yunxi and Jiang Xiubai, lacking confidence, opened their answer boards, which read: shāng guāng guā dǒu.
Xu Wang and Pei Yanchuan looked much more relaxed than the previous groups. Xu Wang opened the answer board in front of him, which read: shāng gōng gū hú.
The director glanced at the four answers briefly and thought, "Oh ho, all four groups have different answers."
The assistant director compared the correct answer with the four different answers, and then handed the final result to the director.
"Let's congratulate Teacher Xu and Teacher Pei on answering the last question correctly. We also congratulate them on getting all six questions right in this segment, earning them six different breakfasts prepared by the production team." The director finished speaking and started applauding.
"Ah! Just a little bit more!" Xia Yu hugged Hou Yunqi regretfully.
"It's alright, breakfast is enough for both of us," Hou Yunqi said, pulling Xia Yu onto his lap to comfort her.
Yunxi and Jiang Xiubai looked around. They saw the overflowing food on everyone else's tables, then glanced at their own basket of mutton shumai. For a moment, their smiles were more like cries; they felt miserable and wanted to cry…
Pei Yanchuan reluctantly let go of Xu Wang's hand during breakfast.
After breakfast, the director and assistant director appeared before everyone in outdoor windbreakers, wearing sunglasses and hats.
The assistant director was holding another cardboard box in his arms.
"Teachers, our trip today is very fulfilling, but before that we need to draw lots."
"The teachers collectively decided to select one person to come to the box and draw lots. There are three lots in the box. The first lot says 'self-funded trip,' meaning that if you draw this lot, all expenses for today's trip will be borne by the teacher. The second lot says 'half-funded trip,' which means that if you draw this lot, all expenses for today's trip will be split equally between the production team and the teacher. The last lot says 'director, the director sponsors the trip.'" As the director read the last lot, his voice unconsciously rose, and then he turned to the assistant director behind him with an incredulous look. "You must have written it wrong, kid."
