At seven oâclock in the evening, all the guests gathered again.
Jiang Xuyan frowned.
âDirector Wei, are you going to provide dinner according to the rankings again?â
âThen wouldnât I have to eat potatoes again?â
âIt might not be potatoes. I think it might be boiled cabbage.â Song Qingyou chuckled.
âMaybe heâll let Teacher Jiang eat his own cooking,â Yu Muhuai said.
âThen Iâll just eat the potatoes.â Jiang Xuyan instantly admitted defeat.
âIs Teacher Jiangâs cooking really that bad?â asked Tang Zinian curiously.
Before he finished his words, Wei Zhengrongâs voice sounded, âDonât worry! Everyone will have a chance to taste Teacher Jiangâs dishes tonight.â
âWhat?!â Jiang Xuyan was shocked and pointed at himself, âThen 1 have to eat it myself too?â
Director Wei did not answer and only explained, âSince Teacher Jiangâs ranking is the lowest, heâs in charge of cooking a dish.â
âOther than Teacher Jiang, only the person ranked first doesnât need to eat this dish. This is one of the punishments.â
âItâs actually one of them.â Zhao Yingnan couldnât help but complain.
âIn addition, the program team will provide some blind boxes of ingredients. There are onions, potatoes, onions, ginger, garlic, and various drinksâ¦Wait a minute, the food extracted from the blind box will be put into the juicer at once and blended into a paste as the second dish for your dinner.â
âWill it be cooked after itâs blended?â Xu Xingzhou immediately asked.
Wei Zhengrong smiled kindly, âDonât think too muchâ¦â
âThe program team-â
âOf course wonât cook it for you!!â
Everyoneâs faces turned pale.
Why did they have to eat raw onion drinks?
What was the difference between this and directly poisoning them?
Were they going to the hospital tonight?
Wei Zhengrong looked at their pale faces and tried to hold back his laughter.
âSimilarly, the first place doesnât need to choose any ingredients, nor do they need to eat this âdishâ. The rest of the people will have to choose more ingredients according to their rankings.â
âThen, the third dish.â
âThereâs more?â Jiang Xuyan had already put on the mask of pain[l].
âSince everyone has been working hard these few days, the third dish will not be served as a punishment. At that time, dinner will be arranged at different prices according to the amount of money you earned in the past three days.â
âThis is still alright.â
The group heaved a sigh of relief.
However, when all the blind food boxes were placed on the table, their expressions did not look so good. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Because, in those blind boxes, not only were there things like coriander and fenugreek roots that half the people would hate to eat, but there were also some boxes with live things in them!
Looking at the white, fat, and squirming worms, Shu Ling had goosebumps all over her body and subconsciously retreated.
Tang Zinianâs face was also pale. He covered his eyes like Jiang Xuyan.
Zhao Yingnan swallowed her saliva and said with difficulty, âDirector⦠These bugs⦠Are you really not going to consider frying it first?â
At the very least, it would be cooked if it was fried!
It was much better than eating raw!
Wei Zhengrong laughed. âDonât worry, everyone. The production team has consulted the relevant experts. These bugs are all artificially bred. They are very clean and can be eaten raw!â
âIs it a question of whether we can eat it raw or not?â Jiang Xuyan asked in a trembling voice.
Song Qingyou wasnât worried at all. Seeing them retreat, she smiled and said, âYou have to believe in your luck. Believe that you wonât choose ingredients that you donât want to eat!â
âTeacher Jiang, donât you just have to pick seven kinds of ingredients? Donât be afraid!â
Jiang Xuyan wanted to cry, but no tears came out. âThere are only a dozen ingredients hereâ¦â
With such a high probability, how lucky would he be to not get it?
He could even âdrawâ the lowest-paid position of a cleaner. How could he be lucky!
âYes, Qingyou is right. Donât be afraid.â
Wei Zhengrong said, âSo, who will go first?â
Everyone took a step back in tacit understanding.
âDirector Wei, you havenât announced the rankings yet.â
âAll, right! I was so happy today that 1 actually forgot about this!â
Wei Zhengrongâs words made everyone speechless.
He was so happy to see them âunluckyâ. Those who didnât know better would think that Director Wei was a pervert!
âCough cough, Little Li, bring up the rankings.â
Wei Zhengrong couldnât wait to see their expressions when they got the special ingredients, so he didnât keep them in suspense and started to announce the rankings.
The last one was Jiang Xuyan.
The second last was Zhao Yingnan. The cashierâs salary was fixed, not to mention that she had made two mistakes and was deducted dozens of yuan.
The fifth was Shu Ling.
The fourth was Tang Zinian.
The third was Xu Xingzhou.
It was quite surprising that Xu Xingzhouâs pancake stall had actually caught up with the others.
Moreover, the process of him setting up his stall was not without twists and turns. It was also one of the main highlights of the first episode.
âWho will be first?â Everyone started discussing.
âIt should be Muhuai!â
Zhao Yingnan said, âWhen 1 came here today, I heard from the program team staff that Muhuaiâs delivery of food almost had zero negative reviews! Itâs especially powerful!â
Xu Xingzhou also thought that it was Yu Muhuai. âThe salary of a kindergarten teacher is fixed. I think itâs him too.â
Shu Ling interrupted, âThereâs no point in discussing this. Why donât we make a bet? Whoever loses will help drink half of the dark cuisine.â
The reason why it was âdrinkâ, of course, was because the dark cuisine was blended out by a juicer.
Jiang Xuyan thought for a while. âThen Xiao Yu and Qingyou canât bet. You two must have something on your mind.â
Song Qingyou and Yu Muhuai looked at each other and nodded.
In the end, Zhao Yingnan, Xu Xingzhou, Tang Zinian, and Jiang Xuyan bet on Yu Muhuai.
The only one who bet on Song Qingyou being first was Shu Ling.
âEven if we lose, the four of us will share the food. Shu Ling, do you really want to continue betting?â Jiang Xuyan asked.
Shu Ling hesitated.
But a few seconds later, she said firmly, âIâll bet on Qingyou being first!â
âSister Shu Ling, the four of us might have to help you quit gambling today.â Tang Zinian grinned.
Wei Zhengrong waited for them to decide before revealing the name of the second place.
On it was written:
Yu Muhuai: 3000 yuan.
Everyone was surprised that Yu Muhuai was actually second, but when they saw the amount, they instantly lost their composure.
âEarning 3,000 in three days, and youâre only second? How is that possible?â
âDid the staff make a mistake? How can a kindergarten teacher earn more than 1,000 yuan a day?â
Everyone was in disbelief, including Yu Muhuai, who thought he had won.
Even Song Qingyou was surprised.
âMy salary isnât that much. Did the director get the order wrong?â
Wei Zhengrong didnât answer. He slowly revealed the first placeâs details.
Song Qingyou: 300600 yuan.
Everyone: Z(°A°|||)! ! !
âT-Three, three hundred thousand?!â Jiang Xuyan was dumbfounded.
âYes.â Wei Zhengrong nodded. âOur Teacher Song caught a group of human traffickers during her work. This 300,000 yuan is a reward from the government!â
Since acting bravely was something that everyone could do and there were no occupation restrictions, the bonuses were also included in the money Song Qingyou had earned.
The group of people looked at Song Qingyou together like machines, with surprised expressions that seemed to say: âEven this is possible?!â
The next punishment session was extremely painful for everyone except Song Qingyou, and it also provided plenty of jokes to wrap up the first episode of the show.
