Chapter 471: Su Shi is not only loyal to Dongpo Pork
"Just tell me if it's covered or not."
The boy who was questioned did not feel embarrassed, but asked back confidently.
To put it simply, it's not false advertising, right?
It's simply that the customers are expecting and then being disappointed on their own initiative. How can this be fixed?
"Sure, brother, sure." When Bai Bufan was still disappointed about the fact that the password he thought he had obtained was gone, Lin Li had already smiled and raised his thumb.
"So, are you two interested in coming? There's not much time left in the morning, so I can make the decision and give you a discount!" the boy said enthusiastically.
"That's not necessary." Lin Li, who wanted to continue shopping, naturally shook his head and refused.
However, judging from the situation in the classroom just now, the attendance rate for this class project is quite high.
When I think about it, I feel relieved. After all, not everyone likes to participate in such lively activities. For many people, finding a place to sit and play with their mobile phones for a whole morning is more interesting and "meaningful" than participating in such group activities.
You can't go back to the dormitory, and there may not be a seat in your class. It may also easily lead to some possible troubles. In this case, this class is indeed a good place to go.
What's more, the minimum consumption of ten yuan is not just to buy a seat, but to buy food or services. The free seat is also cost-effective.
Not all high school sophomores are brainless idiots.
There are still intelligent creatures.
"Xiao Linzi, come here and pay your respects to the Empress. Xiaobai, give me a kiss~"
There was no need for Lin Bai and the others to find an excuse, because from the next class, Ding Sihan poked his head out from the back door and greeted them.
"What's wrong?" After saying goodbye to the boy, Lin Li and Bai Bufan walked over.
"This class can get discounts if they answer brain teasers correctly, but I just sat in on the class and it seems like the questions they ask are pretty basic. I think you two are more suitable," Ding Sihan explained.
"Okay." Lin Li raised his eyebrows and nodded.
It is a match for your major.
"Senior, we've got some help. They're here to answer for us."
After entering the classroom, Ding Sihan said to a girl holding a notebook in the classroom.
"Okay, no need to substitute. You can come together. I'll ask five of you five brain teasers. The more you answer correctly, the more discounts you'll get. The rules are no electronic devices allowed, only five of you can answer, and you must give the correct answer within ten seconds..."
The girl nodded, then explained the rules to the two newcomers.
"Is it okay if I give the wrong answer within ten seconds?" Bai Bufan asked.
"It doesn't matter, as long as you give the correct answer at the end."
"Okay, we got it." Lin Li and Bai Bufan nodded.
The girl picked up the notebook, flipped to the back page, and began to recite the questions: "What's in between 5 and 7?"
Lin Li and Bai Bufan turned their gaze towards the "three people" behind them.
"What are you looking at us for? You two answer it, it's up to you." Ding Sihan asked in surprise.
Hearing this, Lin Li and Bai Bufan turned around and looked at each other. Lin Li raised his chin.
Bai Bufan nodded, then chuckled and said loudly, "It's too easy! Even an elementary school student would know how to do this. Of course the answer is 6!"
The girl shook her head and looked at Bai Bufan strangely. They said it was a brain teaser, so why did he answer like this? "Wrong."
"What—how is this possible!" Bai Bufan covered his mouth in disbelief.
Lin Li poked his nose, as if adjusting his glasses, and said calmly, "Stupid, between '5 and 7', of course it's 'follow'."
"Bingo, this is the correct answer." The girl clapped softly.
"Next question." Bai Bufan was not annoyed at all, but looked at the girl expectantly.
The girl nodded. "Okay, next question. A sheep that was born with a disability and missing a leg suddenly bleated. Its usually gentle and healthy owner came over angrily. Why?"
The two looked at each other again, and this time it was Bai Bufan's turn to raise his chin.
"Is it because it disturbed its owner?" Lin Li asked after rubbing his chin for a second.
"wrong."
"Because the sheep behind the owner died?"
"No pornographic content."
"Damn it, this question has no beginning or end. What's the reason for it?" After being denied again, Lin Li pounded his forehead with his fist in frustration.
Bai Bufan laughed contemptuously upon hearing this: "Idiot."
Then he turned his gaze to the sophomore girl and said confidently, "Why? Of course, it's fed with grass, feed, or Jin Ke La."
"Yes, the correct answer is to feed it with grass." The girl nodded approvingly.
The local boys in this class who were standing aside came over curiously.
"What? It's actually a pun," Lin Li said in disbelief. "So the above are all traps?"
But the next second, Lin Li calmed down.
Looking at Bai Bufan, Lin Li said calmly, "It's your turn to play the fool in the next question."
Bai Bufan looked around the classroom and whispered, "No one seems to understand us. They really treat us as fools. Why don't we just stop acting?"
Lin Li: "That's fine."
The "three people" who heard clearly behind him: "..."
Ding Sihan suddenly understood that the two men were looking at them just now because they wanted them to play or directly act as the "fool" who answered incorrectly, similar to the contrasting passers-by in novels who were slapped in the face and had to explain to other characters.
Tsk, these two are so bad.
"Yanan, ask me a few questions."
Before the girl could continue asking questions, the boy who had just come over said to her.
After the girl nodded, the boy looked at Lin Li and Bai Bufan expectantly:
"Question: What idiom contains the words old man, child, man, and woman, but doesn't contain any of those characters?"
Wow, things are getting interesting.
Lin Li laughed: "Full house,"
Bai Bufan snapped his fingers: "Execute them all."
The boy's eyes lit up: "Awesome! That's right!"
Chen Yuying, Ding Sihan, and Qu Wanqiu: "(;☉_☉)?"
Boy: "What beans and bean pods are used in the 'boiling beans and burning bean pods' poem by Cao Zhi?"
Lin Li chuckled: "Pea."
Bai Bufan snapped his fingers. "Because in this poem, the bean is Cao Zhi, and the bean pod is Cao Pi, but no matter who they are—"
The two of them thought as one: "It's all Meng De'er."
The boy's eyes grew brighter, and his breathing became more pronounced due to his excitement. "What's that thing that's green and furry? Will it kill someone if it falls from a tree?"
Bai Bufan: "Billiard table."
Boy: "Besides cigarettes, what else is there that is long and white and smoking is bad for your health?"
Lin Li: "Spine."
Boy: "Besides puffs, what else is soft and bursting?"
Bai Bufan: "A person who is experiencing diarrhea."
Boy: "An elephant kills a tiger. Name a historical figure!"
Lin Li: "Kublai Khan."
Boy: "A woman giving birth to a child, what is the idiom?"
Bai Bufan: "You are slandering me."
Boy: "Ultraman, hit a star."
Are you still trying to set a trap? Lin Li sneered, "Just kill him."
The boy's voice became increasingly rapid and trembling: "What do the Twin Towers and lasagna have in common?!"
Lin Li: "There's minced meat on every floor!!"
Boy: "What do Nike and a whip have in common?"
Bai Bufan: "They can make black people run faster!!"
Boy: "Bo Yikao's father was King Wen of Zhou, and his brother was King Wu of Zhou. What kind of king was he?"
Lin Li and Bai Bufan united their thoughts once again: "Han-burg-king!"
Ding Sihan, Chen Yuying, and Qu Wanqiu: "(*▽*)."
Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
"Stop, stop, stop, stop—" By the time the others realized what they heard, it was already too late:
"This isn't a brain teaser anymore! The five questions are already over! And isn't it getting a little pornographic? Ah Guo, that's enough!"
The students in this class are the most anxious.
Seeing that the boy's eyes were filled with passionate anticipation and he seemed not to have listened to what was said at all, the girl next to him simply put her coat over the boy's head and covered his mouth forcibly.
Only after the boy was almost suffocated did he calm down.
"Sorry, sorry, I got carried away and asked too many questions. You all answered correctly, so you naturally enjoy the highest discount. Congratulations." The boy looked at Lin Li and Bai Bufan with a little apology.
"It's okay." Lin Li and Bai Bufan were calm and composed, looking like masters. They even looked back at the boy and nodded calmly.
The boy did not feel offended by this. He believed that everyone has their own knowledge and expertise. The two of them could answer his questions so smoothly and fluently, which showed that they were much more accomplished than him in this area and were his seniors.
He could even feel a little praise and recognition of himself in this look, which made him feel proud.
Unfortunately, before the boy could come forward and ask, "Can I talk to you for a moment?", the two were pulled away by the girls in their class who had just paid their bills.
"Why are you in such a hurry to leave?" the boy said regretfully.
"You feel ashamed, right?" the girl next to her said lightly.
Hearing this, the boy looked at the girl and asked in surprise, "Why are you so sure and seem to empathize with her?"
The girl looked at the boy calmly, shook her head, and smiled slightly: "Don't worry about it."
…
When the five of them reached the first floor, Bai Bufan suddenly narrowed his eyes.
"Lin Li, did something dirty get mixed into that high school sophomore's stall?"
Lin Li looked over after hearing that. It was a barbecue truck outdoors on the first floor, but the one in charge of the barbecue at that moment was indeed the dirty guy - Wang Ze.
Glancing around, I saw Qian Ying was not far away.
Wang Ze also saw the two and immediately waved his hand happily: "Oi! Lin Li! Bai Bufan! Bring the class monitor and the others to spend some money and support our class!"
"What a great class we are."
"Now there really is a traitor among us."
Seeing that Chen Yuying and the others were not interested, Lin Li and Bai Bufan walked over alone.
"Wang Ze, Wang Ze, even Tianming didn't go to Class 17 to be a dog. I didn't expect that you, the guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, would be the first to betray." Bai Bufan was heartbroken.
"Come on," Wang Ze sneered. "If Yao Qiaoqiao were Tianming's girlfriend, Tianming would have stayed in Class 17 this morning. When I ran into him just now, if he had high EQ, he would have been trying every possible way to 'run into' Yao Qiaoqiao. If he had low EQ, he would have been stalking her like a pervert."
"And I did this for a reason," Wang Ze said with a smile, "Aren't you guys having lunch together in the classroom at noon? If the barbecue here isn't sold out, my girlfriend told me I can take some away. Her class has no objection. I'm not eating it all by myself, and I'm helping everyone save money.
You don’t want to find out Baowei has already finished eating before you even take a bite.”
In order to prevent waste, when the garden party ends, everyone in Class 4 and the泔水袋 will return to the classroom to eat the remaining oden and smoothies together.
The boys simply decided to have lunch together in the classroom.
We've been shopping and eating all morning, so it's perfect to order a takeout for one or two people and share the meal.
The original plan was to leave Zhou Baowei aside and everyone would split the bill for the takeout, but in the end everyone found that Baowei was too heavy and couldn't be left aside, so they could only force themselves to eat less.
Wang Ze did not participate because he planned to have lunch with his senior schoolmate, but this excuse for self-sacrifice was indeed a good and reasonable one.
"Okay then, let's take a smaller one." Lin Li nodded.
"OK, what do you want to eat?"
Lin Li: "I'd like one mutton skewer, but I have a few requirements. The front 3cm piece of meat should be grilled until the skin is slightly charred and tiger-skin colored, and the inside is medium-rare. The center should retain a pink texture, and the blood should be locked in but not red.
The subsequent 4 cm transition segment requires uniform maturity, with slight melting of fascia and semi-melting of fat.
The last 2cm of the tail meat should be cooked to medium-rare with a slight chewiness. The chili powder should be spread out in a star-shaped pattern on the surface, ensuring that every cumin seed is covered accurately.
"Yes, I think so too. Give me one like this." Bai Bufan nodded.
Wang Ze, who had already picked up the raw lamb skewers, looked at Lin Li and Bai Bufan as if they were idiots.
Facing the innocent expressions of the two, Wang Ze thought for a long time and sighed:
"I suddenly miss my past life when I worked at Wallace. Back then, customers wouldn't even dare to fart in front of me. How could I possibly meet a customer like you who talks so much nonsense?"
Lin Li and Bai Bufan: "Oo?"
Wang Ze doesn't even dare to fart, I guess he has some authority.
Add to that the "no toilet in the store" feature, and it's completely unbeatable.
However, Bai Bufan raised his eyebrows and looked at Lin Li with curiosity: "Hey, Lin Li, if a fly passed through a fart, do you think it would feel the same as us passing by a barbecue stall?"
Lin Li raised his eyebrows in surprise, then fell into deep thought: "You know what, maybe there is a bit of a similarity. Farts are indeed similar to the aroma emitted when cooking shit."
Bai Bufan was somewhat proud of his discovery and nodded complacently: "Isn't it?"
Wang Ze: “(゜▽゜)?”
After watching the figure of a strange student who appeared beside Lin Li and Bai Bufan and was about to place an order, then immediately chose to leave after hearing the order and disappeared into the crowd, Wang Ze couldn't help but roar:
"Don't you motherf*ck saying that at a barbecue stall!!!"
Chen Yuying and the other two who were not far away heard the roar and turned around.
Then I saw Chang Wei beating Lai Fu.
Well, I don’t know what happened, but luckily it didn’t happen.
…
"Attention everyone: The New Year's Day Garden Party will officially end at 11:40.
All classes are requested to cease all business activities in an orderly manner, immediately organize the venue and equipment, remove the garbage, and restore the classrooms to their original state. The teacher on duty will conduct an inspection and acceptance inspection. Thank you for your enthusiastic participation!
"Everyone..."
When it was half past eleven, the school radio sounded.
The "three people and one dog" who had toured almost all the first and second year high schools had no desire to linger and immediately returned to the classroom of Class 4 of the first year high school.
After the last batch of customers were served, the boys began to move back the tables and chairs that had been moved out, and the girls began to clean the classroom. They then made the remaining ingredients into smoothies and oden, and placed them all on the podium. Everyone could take them if they wanted to eat.
"Bufan, have you ordered takeout?" Zhou Baowei couldn't help but confirm on the way back after moving the table.
Because not everyone orders, and considering that Baowei doesn't order too much or too little, he doesn't need to place an order.
"I ordered." Bai Bufan nodded.
"What did you order?" Zhou Baowei's eyes were pious and full of curiosity.
If this kind of look is seen in the classroom, the teacher will feel a sense of accomplishment.
"Here's a hint," Bai Bufan snapped his fingers, "this is what Su Shi likes to eat."
"Dongpo pork?" Zhou Baowei's eyes lit up.
This question is solved in seconds!
However, Bai Bufan smiled and shook his head when he heard this: "It's not Dongpo pork, it's another, more famous food. There's even a famous article written to commemorate it."
Zhou Baowei: "Ah? There is such a thing?"
He knows about eating.
But after racking my brains, I found that I had no clue at all.
Even Su Shi's "Ode to Pork" written for Dongpo Pork is not famous throughout the ages.
What's more, what could be more associated with Su Dongpo than Dongpo pork?
"Yes." There was a hint of contempt for the bumpkin in Bai Bufan's eyes.
"What on earth is it? I can't guess." Zhou Baowei gave up.
Bai Bufan: "Beef."
"Huh? Why did Su Shi love to eat beef? And he even wrote an article to commemorate him? When? Is this some unofficial history version?" Zhou Baowei was stunned and asked a series of questions.
Lin Li, who had been silent, sighed at this moment, looked at the uneducated Zhou Baowei helplessly, and said lightly:
"Baowei, we just learned this lesson, and you've already forgotten it?"
"Eating Beef"
"In the autumn of the year Renxu, on the 15th day of the seventh month, Su Zi and his guests were boating..."
Zhou Baowei: "(；☉_☉)?"
Cryptocurrency.
