Chapter 429
As the car drove along, Jiang Cha and others had fun.
When they arrived at their destination, the four abacus masters Jiang Cha, Wang Xinghua, Huang Fugui and Old John were fighting for the fourth grade.
Feng Ling and Wang Erya, who had lost four rounds in a row, were numb. They completely gave up resistance and completely resigned to their fate.
At this time, the importance of good mental skills in mathematics is highlighted.
During the freshman entrance chapter, Old John, a master of calculation, was defeated by three other super masters of calculation and was eliminated at midfield. Both Feng Ling and Wang Erya regretted it. Wang Erya tried to review the game, but he didn't have enough brains to analyze what the four abacus masters did to them during the game, so the review was in vain.
Feng Ling, as a semi-illiterate who had never read a book, only knew Chinese characters but could not write, and all his cultural accomplishments came from opera, simply gave up on the review and wanted to rely on luck to make money.
Facts have proved that in the game designed by Principal Peggy, the ultimate abacus master, it is a game that relies on both luck and brains. Brains must account for a higher proportion than luck.
Unless Emperor Feng Lingou is possessed, there is no possibility of victory.
By the third grade, Feng Ling had already recognized the reality and gave up resistance. She was completely reduced to playing with him, enjoying the game, picking up the dice and throwing them without any thought.
Old John was different. He had enough brains. After the failure in the middle of the first game, Old John did not continue to watch. He ran to the last row of the minibus and took a pen and paper to analyze the transaction balance of the game and review the game.
Then he managed to survive to the end in the second grade, and finally lost to Jiang Cha.
In the third grade, Wang Xinghua was extremely lucky. She got several rare cards, triggered rare plots, and finally won with an overwhelming advantage.
Now the game comes to fourth grade.
Jiang Qi thinks fourth grade is wonderful.
Because everyone's luck was not very good in this game.
I don’t know if Principal Peggy did it on purpose or if the top four were all caught up in bad luck, basically everyone had random events thrown at them that were very unlucky. Either the price of food in the canteen has increased, or the tuition fees have increased.
Wang Xinghua, who was possessed by Ou Huang last time, was the most outrageous, triggering an incident in which a fight broke out in the canteen and the plates were damaged. Everyone had to pay a fine of 600 coins, and Jiang Cha was almost sent away.
If the previous Triwizard and Quadruple Contests were all about who was richer, it was the Rich Man Contest. So this game is a struggle on the line of poverty. Everyone is struggling to achieve the lowest passing conditions, and they can't tell the difference between plotting against others.
The Go-Go match was so exciting that neither the players nor the onlookers realized that the car had stopped.
"Boss Jiang, the place has arrived." The driver, Lao Luo, said enthusiastically.
Lao Luo is a truck driver who has long-term cooperation with the amusement park for delivery.
The last time Hu Qing was cheated by a baggage company, he discovered that most freight companies these days are baggage intermediary companies. They rely on monopoly information to charge both parties, and most of the drivers work alone.
After that, Hu Qing finally found a reliable trucking company with a fleet of trucks that belonged to him after careful research and careful screening.
However, among the independent truck drivers who have cooperated with the amusement park through intermediaries, there are also many who are honest and kind and have long-term cooperation.
In the past, Wang Xinghua was responsible for the inspection, and Wang Xinghua knew the drivers she had cooperated with before. Under Wang Xinghua's selection, the amusement park signed long-term cooperation contracts with some truck drivers, and Lao Luo was one of them.
Being a truck driver is a hard job. A shipment usually takes three or four days, and it may take longer if the distance is far away. Delivering to the amusement park is easy, but the most tiring part is delivering fresh food. In order to meet the deadline, the truck driver wants to be on the road 24 hours a day.
Therefore, many truck drivers are husband and wife teams who work shifts to avoid accidents due to long-term fatigue driving.
Lao Luo is a husband and wife team.
In mid-September, when his wife was going downstairs, she accidentally missed her footing and rolled down the stairs, breaking her leg. She was injured for 100 days. Her wife was not at ease if Lao Luo was allowed to drive long distances alone.
Therefore, Lao Luo took a leave from the amusement park, rented the car to a freight company for a short period of time, and took care of his wife at home.
It happened that Jiang Qi was going out for an inspection. As a veteran driver with various driving licenses and more than 20 years of driving experience, Lao Luo was immediately taken by Jiang Qi and hired as a temporary driver.
"Master Luo, thank you for your hard work. We will be here for a while. You can get out of the car and find a place to eat."
"Okay, boss, call me anytime if you need anything." Lao Luo said enthusiastically, taking a curious look at the board game Jiang Cha and others were playing.
"Is this the legendary board game?" Lao Luo asked.
Jiang Qi nodded and stared at Jiang Cha's hand.
It was Jiang Cha's turn to throw the dice.
Jiang Cha has been struggling on the line of bankruptcy because he was cheated by Wang Xinghua, who was possessed by a non-chief. Now he only has 80 coins in hand.
The first class for the fourth grade theoretically only costs 40 coins, but who knew that everyone would be very unlucky in this round. After countless random events (increased prices of teaching materials, currency depreciation, teachers going on strike, the school raised wages, so the class fee Increase, meet the evil vice principal to increase the class fee without permission), now a class costs 100 coins.
If Jiang Cha's life is not good and drops to 3, she will be expelled from the school because she cannot pay the class fees.
The winner in the first and second grades becomes the loser in the fourth grade because he cannot afford the tuition. What a wonderful plot!
Everyone's eyes were shining as they stared at the dice in Jiang Cha's hand.
Jiang Cha:......
fling.
1.
"Alas." Everyone made a disappointed sound.
Jiang Cha:?
Are my relationships so bad?
Jiang Cha threw it into a random event and drew it.
Principal Peggy said with a smile: "Congratulations everyone, since you all took Teacher Lillian's time magic class, this is a collective event."
"You were doing experiments in the laboratory with Teacher Lillian. During the experiment, an accident occurred and an explosion damaged the laboratory. Each of you needs to pay 1,000 coins to the school as compensation."
Four people:......
Principal Peggy said sincerely: "To be honest, this is the highest amount of compensation among the fourth graders. There is only one random event out of 198. I didn't expect you to draw it out the first time you played."
Jiang Cha:......
Of course, the four poor people struggling on the line of abject poverty couldn't afford 1,000 coins, and they collectively went bankrupt.
The fourth grade is over and no one has passed the level.
Wang Xinghua jumped up from her seat and said, "The fourth grade is too difficult. How can you graduate with such difficulty! It must be because we had limited space to play board games on the minibus, which led to our bad luck. My dad was I know a lot of Feng Shui masters, but you have bad luck in a small space.”
"Believe me, there is nothing wrong! Let's go to the villa and have another round. This time I will complete my studies!"
Jiang Qi:......
You, a half-ghost king, are still talking about Feng Shui, so you are not afraid that the Feng Shui master will accept you.
"Are you still playing? I feel a little dizzy after playing all the way. I can't play anymore." Feng Ling waved his hands repeatedly, saying that his life still mattered.
"I'm a little dizzy too." Wang Erya also looked embarrassed.
Old John yawned and said that it was difficult for him to continue.
Wang Xinghua got out of the car with regret.
Jiang Qi's board game game broke up, but Lao Luo was very interested. Jiang Qi simply gave him a set of "Incredible Magic Academy: Freshman Admission", which was considered a small promotion.
After finishing their trip, Jiang Qi and the others were going directly to Peking to participate in the Autumn Exhibition. Principal Peggy has a bunch of board games in her space pocket, with more than a dozen sets of each type, so she is not afraid to give them away.
Lao Luo does not live with Jiang Qi and others. This time, the amusement park hired him to pay Lao Luo's driver fees, daily meals and accommodation expenses in one go. The meal and accommodation expenses were in accordance with the business trip standards for amusement park employees. Come and pay.
In order to live up to the name of the study and inspection team, Jiang Qi and others went to the amusement park on the second day after arriving in Suzhou.
Seeing the passenger flow of similar-level amusement parks in Suzhou, Jiang Qi's mouth watered.
Regardless of the year or festival, just as the National Day is approaching, the passenger flow in the amusement park is already terrifying.
Let's put it this way, Jiang Qi entered the amusement park at 9 am and left at 6 pm. He stayed in the amusement park for a total of 9 hours and only played 4 items.
I've been queuing and it hasn't stopped.
It's still hot at the end of September. Who knows how powerful Qiuhuhu is? Jiang Qi, a living person, was exposed to the sun for a while, and his skin turned dark.
As a tourist, Jiang Qi hates queuing, and as a boss, Jiang Qi envies the long queues at other amusement parks.
"Brother, I think this amusement park is just average. The carousel and roller coaster are similar to ours. They don't have a doll house, a toy theater, Taiping Town, a theater and a snow village. Why is the business of this place so good?" Wang Erya said she didn't understand.
"Their tickets are more expensive than ours."
Jiang Qi thought for a while: "Although their tickets are expensive, our surroundings are expensive."
Jiang Cha:......
At this time, we need to compare which amusement park is more expensive?
"The location is different, of course." Wang Xinghua, who came back from buying ice cream from the canteen, only heard half of Wang Erya's question, but it did not prevent her from answering.
Wang Xinghua bought a bag of ice cream, with various flavors, and let everyone choose first, and the rest was hers.
After everyone finished dancing, Wang Xinghua took out an old popsicle, and she was not afraid of ice. She chewed it like a chocolate chip. While chewing the popsicle, she said vaguely: "It's so remote where we are."
"Let's put it this way, our amusement park is a well-known Caotai troupe in the countryside, and this amusement park is a big theater troupe in the provincial capital. Although it is not as good as the theater troupe in the capital, the theater troupe in the provincial capital is better than the Caotai troupe in the countryside. Noodle bars are expensive, and if they are famous, there will naturally be more customers, and the charges will naturally be higher."
After speaking, Wang Xinghua looked at Jiang Qi, still biting ice cubes in her mouth: "Boss, I think Gusu is good, with good scenery and many attractions. You can also go to the garden if you have nothing to do. Although I just had a simple meal last night, I think the food It’s quite appetizing.”
"How about you buy land here and let's move the amusement park here."
Jiang Qi:......
Jiang Qi almost thought he was the richest man in the world when he heard Wang Xinghua's natural tone.
Jiang Qi looked at the popsicles in the bag and took out a mung bean popsicle: "Eat a mung bean popsicle and wake up."
Why does this child keep dreaming every day?
If I could have money to buy a piece of land in Suzhou to build an amusement park, would I still open an amusement park?
When the time comes, everyone will have a small goal and just lie down, won’t they be happy?
Everyone was tired after a day of visiting the amusement park. Jiang Qi called Lao Luo before leaving the amusement park and asked him to go to Huangji Restaurant to get a table first.
He had done his homework in advance. Huangji Restaurant is a famous Subang cuisine restaurant in Suzhou. The prices are slightly expensive but not outrageous. It is a must-visit restaurant for tourists and is also frequented by locals. According to the guide, Huang Kee does not accept reservations. If you want to have dinner at Huang Kee, it is best to go early to reserve a seat, otherwise you will have to wait in line to death.
Lao Luo also sent a message to Jiang Qi early. He had already occupied the private room on the second floor and was waiting for Jiang Qi to order.
Restaurants serve food very quickly. It takes nearly half an hour to take a taxi from the amusement park to Huangji. Jiang Qi sent the menu to Lao Luo before getting in the car and asked Lao Luo to tell the waiter that the food would be served in half an hour.
The group headed to Huang Kee.
As soon as he arrived at the store, Jiang Qi felt as if he had been tricked by an online guide.
Online guides boasted that Huangji Restaurant was packed with guests, as if one step late in queuing meant one would be late to eat. But when Jiang Qi and others arrived at the store at around 6 o'clock, Huang Ji's lobby on the first floor was not full. Jiang Cha also checked the private rooms on the second and third floors and found that they were not full.
"What's going on?" Jiang Qi was confused.
He quietly took a look at the dishes on the table next to the window and felt that they looked pretty good.
In fact, Huang Ji's business is not bad in an ordinary restaurant. The price is set here. With this kind of customer volume every year, Jiang Qi feels that it must be profitable.
It's just a little different from what's said online.
Wang Xinghua stared at the plate of squirrel mandarin fish held by the waiter and said excitedly: "Boss, can I apply for two portions of this fish?"
"Okay." Jiang Qi nodded. He also liked this dish. "I'll add another portion later."
Kua Kua was held in Wang Erya's arms, very quiet, and played the ugly doll lifelike.
"Kuaikaa, what do you want to eat?" Wang Erya whispered.
Kua Kua also whispered back: "Lion head."
Then he asked in a low voice: "Is the lion's head made of a big lion or a small lion?"
Jiang Qi, who overheard the boast question:...
It’s time for Quaquado to hit the net.
A group of people entered the box. Lao Luo enthusiastically poured tea for everyone and then left.
Jiang Qi wanted to let Lao Luo come down and have something to eat with him. Seeing that Lao Luo was really unwilling to stay for dinner, maybe because he didn’t want to eat with a group of leaders (Lao Luo really thought Jiang Qi and his party were out for inspection), so he gave Lao Luo a meal. Luo ordered a few takeaway dishes and asked him to take them away to eat.
Soon, the dishes were served.
Once I tasted it, it was okay.
The food isn't bad, but it's not amazing.
Jiang Qi subjectively felt that the food in the famous restaurants he had eaten in Peiping before was not as delicious.
Combined with the prices of dishes in several restaurants in Peiping, Jiang Qi felt that Huang Ji's prices were a bit expensive.
In terms of price, Huangji is not as expensive as famous restaurants in Peking such as Yongheju and Babaozhai, but the taste is not as good as others, which is a bit better than ordinary restaurants, which is a bit of a trap.
Step on thunder.
Jiang Qi sadly picked up a piece of squirrel mandarin fish with chopsticks and felt that the online guide was really untrustworthy.
While eating, Jiang Cha suddenly spoke.
"I see."
"What do you know?" everyone asked in unison.
"I know why the quality of food in this store is different from what is said online."
"Why?" Jiang Qi looked curious, "Did they buy marketing? Which marketing company did they buy? Did you hear it? Is it expensive? We will buy it if it's not expensive."
Jiang Cha: "...I didn't buy the marketing. The guide we checked is out of date, and the chef of this restaurant has changed."
Huang Fugui put down his chopsticks: "Why did the chef suddenly change?"
Jiang Cha narrowed his eyes: "An old gentleman came to the kitchen. He should be the original chef of this restaurant. The chefs in the kitchen are all his apprentices. Oh, the owner of this restaurant is still his son."
Jiang Cha began to broadcast live: "He came to see the situation in the restaurant. The eldest disciple asked him: Master, has your waist gotten better recently? Does it still hurt?"
"He said: It's not as serious as before."
"A pair of people who look like brothers said that their hometown has a folk remedy for back pain. Master Huang... no wonder it's called Huang Ji Restaurant. Master Huang said it doesn't have to be an old problem."
"I think I quit because of my poor health. We were unlucky and didn't catch up with the good times." Jiang Cha concluded.
Everyone looked disappointed. Jiang Qi was about to pick up another squirrel mandarin fish with chopsticks when Jiang Cha suddenly spoke again.
"oops!"
"What's wrong?!"
"Master Huang said he was a little tired of resting at home these days. He wanted to cook some big dishes and asked if he had any orders."
Everyone:! ! !
Jiang Qi looked at Wang Xinghua: "Xinghua, are you okay?"
"I can!" Wang Xinghua said super loudly, with determination written all over her face, and then she began to eat hard, eating a lot, and helping everyone clear the food on the table.
Jiang Qi decisively scanned the code to order.
Although I don’t know what kind of big dish Master Huang wants to cook, there is definitely nothing wrong with ordering expensive dishes.
All points!
In the kitchen, Master Huang's eldest apprentice smiled bitterly: "Master, haven't you seen that we are not very busy now? It is almost 7 o'clock and there are not many new customers. Where can we find you the big dishes you want to cook? ah?"
"The prices of those dishes are so high. The old customers don't come here very often after they know that you retired due to health problems."
Master Huang sighed with some regret: "It's rare that I feel good and want to exercise. Forget it, what do you want to eat? I'll give it to you..."
Before Master Huang finished speaking, the ordering system beeped wildly, indicating that the order was coming.
Master Huang went over to take a look and saw that all the good guys were big dishes.
A double portion of everything.
"Is the private room upstairs full today?" Master Huang was confused.
The eldest disciple was also confused: "No, there don't seem to be many guests in the private room upstairs?"
"Let me see...are they all for the same box?"
The master and apprentice looked at each other in confusion as they looked at the ordering system.
Master Huang rolled up his sleeves: "It seems that God wants me to start cooking today and type out the order. I am responsible for the dishes in this private room. Don't let the guests waste so much money."
Master Huang's apprentices hurriedly went to cut the vegetables, trying to do more for themselves and less for the master, so as not to get tired and the back injury would relapse.
In the private room upstairs, Jiang Qi looked at the dishes he had just ordered and felt a little unsafe.
After thinking about it, he solicited everyone's opinions and ordered other less expensive dishes that everyone wanted to eat.
What if there is a hidden dish in Huangji Restaurant to give back to customers, and the price is not that expensive? What would Master Huang want to do?
Click on it, click on it all.
In the kitchen, an apprentice who was cutting and matching looked at the new order that popped up on the ordering system, and shouted: "Master, there were 17 more dishes in that box just now!"
Master Huang:?
The private room in their restaurant is not particularly big. How many people came to this private room?
