Chapter 129 Turning hands into clouds (two in one)
In the cold canteen, a crowd of people were watching Chen Zui's fresh dish "Looking up at the stars".
Does that mean this thing is for people to eat?
Chinese cuisine pays attention to both color and flavor. The number one priority is color. What is color? It’s appearance. It’s just the appearance, let alone buying it. Even if it’s a gift, I don’t want to take a bite.
What's more, after Chen Zui sprinkled a bunch of condiments randomly, it smelled so stinky, salty and fishy that it was really daunting.
That's it?
Can it be popular?
Not to mention them, even Wang Donghe felt that this thing really didn't work.
Perhaps Zhao Wanrou was the only one who didn't think about the question of whether the "death gaze" she had given a new name to would work at this moment.
She just finds it interesting.
The dishes are interesting.
Chen is the funniest.
It's so fun to be with him.
But the interesting Chen Zui was still on the phone, and instructions kept coming.
Today he was going to finish his battle and completely open the second valve for flow realization.
After receiving the instruction, Zhao Xiaokai immediately went to the copy shop and made a banner according to Chen Zui's request. Just look at the words on it, 'The First Dark Cuisine Challenge.'
What is dark cuisine?
Forget it, it’s normal if you can’t keep up with the third brother’s thinking. You’ll find out later if you go and take a look.
At the same time, he was very reliable. Xiao Shen, who was sitting in front of the big-headed computer in the warehouse, also started writing copy as required immediately.
After ten minutes of hard thinking and repeated revisions, I resized the twenty School of Economics QQ groups that were constantly on the screen all day long and put them on one screen, then copied the copy and sent them one by one.
Someone asked me soon.
‘What time does it start?’
‘11.30.’
'What is dark cuisine?'
Xiao Shen couldn't understand and couldn't keep up, so he could only say: 'Something like stinky tofu, durian or something like that.'
'I just want to know if a portion costs five yuan, and if you finish eating, you will get fifteen yuan back, or you will earn ten yuan with interest?'
'Yes, these are our challenge rules.'
'Please give me ten portions at once.'
'I can make you doubt your life!'
'To tell you the truth, I ate shit when I was a kid, and I thought it was okay!'
'Hotel accommodation money has brothers!'
…
If a business audience analysis is used to analyze the group of college students, the following characteristics will definitely be listed.
1. Be willing to accept new things.
Second, I like to follow the trend.
3. Fun-loving and lively.
Fourth, dare to consume.
In 2022, many college students do not earn a penny but dare to spend a hundred or even a thousand times. Coupled with various credit cards, routine loans and the support of Dad Ma, some students can even spend their entire life.
wealth.
This was not the case in 2008. College students who had not yet been bombarded by businessmen were relatively simple and honest.
But also because the Internet world in 2008 was relatively closed, there were not so many channels to obtain various information, and you could not see the whole world online.
Therefore, college students in this era are more curious about the world than students in 2022 who are used to big scenes, prefer to follow the trends in small circles, and are more willing to go out and join in the fun.
Thanks to the advertising effect of more than 20 large groups, the Dark Cuisine Challenge immediately attracted the attention of countless students.
Whether you want to participate or not is second to none, the key is to see what dark cuisine looks like.
Eating is not the second priority. As long as you go there, you will definitely see people eating, and having fun is also good.
Some people even worry that if they go late, they won’t have a good seat to watch the excitement.
Of course, there are also some students who are eager to give it a try.
They want to ruin this challenge they've never heard of.
…
Chen Zui didn't know that many classmates were already on their way.
But he's sure his dark cooking challenge will attract attention.
So before 11.30 comes, he still needs to do some things, such as getting a lid to cover the buns to cover the "looking up at the stars" to maintain a sense of mystery, such as leaning next to his sister: "Is my cooking good?"
Zhao Wanrou's feedback was: "Well done, don't do it again in the future."
"Then you will do it from now on"
Zhao Wanrou felt her brother's trick and raised her eyebrows slightly, but in the end it turned into a sweet smile for some reason.
Wang Donghe looked at it and had to say: "Ahem, there are still people here."
Here, Aunt Li looked at Chen Zong, who seemed to have everything under control, and couldn't help but said: "Hehe, you will pay the one hundred yuan anyway, don't wait to trick a group of your classmates into taking care of it, that would be boring."
Just as he was talking, Zhao Xiaokai arrived. Not only did he bring banners, he also made a vertical billboard.
Chen Zui lowered the billboard to the ground and pulled the banner together with Zhao Xiaokai.
I gave Aunt Li three words in reply: "Let's see."
…
As 11.30 approaches.
More and more students came to the cafeteria.
At first, they came up in small groups to inquire, but later it turned into a gathering of people.
Aunt Li and the merchants were dumbfounded to find that more and more students started to come here.
They were full of curiosity about the dark dish covered by the broken lid, and started talking about it.
The popularity is like a snowball, and it's just lunch time at this time, so I don't know what's going on. The students who just came to eat are also looking sideways, and many people choose to move over to join in the fun.
Then there were more and more people, and it was very noisy and noisy.
When the time finally came to 11:30, under the expectation of everyone, Chen Zui walked into the specially reserved space in front of the box lunch stall.
Then without any further ado, he opened the lid directly.
Looking up at the stars is finally revealed to the students of the School of Economics.
Although I know that dark cuisine is not a good thing, at this moment, looking at the dull eyes of these two hundred dead fish, staring blankly and despairingly at the sky, a normal person would think that this B thing is a dish?
All the students in the front row took a step back one after another. Two tall and tall students stumbled over each other and were almost thrown out of a domino.
Some fearful students screamed and immediately chose to avoid looking, but did not leave immediately. Maybe they wanted to see which brave person dared to try.
More people said in disgust: "Huh~" The voice of disgust lingered in the sky above the cafeteria, echoing endlessly.
"Is this something humans can eat?"
"No, why do I still smell stinky tofu?"
“And chili noodles”
"I seriously doubt this thing is poisonous!"
Everyone was talking to each other, and the scene was very chaotic for a while.
Only Chen Zui looked calm and composed, and he narrated to himself in a low voice:
"The name of the British dish, Stargazypie, literally means looking up at the stars. It is a dark British dish, also known as death with eyes open. The original name is Fishpie, also known as Hell's Chant."
"I wonder if the warriors just now still have the courage to come up and taste it?"
As soon as these words came out, there was no need to maintain order, and there was a complete silence inside and outside the venue.
Chen is not surprised by this. After all, looking up at the stars does visually impact people's senses.
But he believes that there will always be people brave enough to try new things.
After all, if you can eat it, you will get ten yuan for free. Don't underestimate the poverty of college students. Ten yuan at this time is enough for them to have fun all night.
Sure enough, things didn't go beyond his expectation. A tall and thin guy walked out of the crowd: "I'll do it!"
So everyone in the audience talked about his glorious deeds. Chen Zui heard only a few words, but he immediately looked at this person with admiration.
This classmate is Jiang Zhinong. He is a junior this year and his life is very poor. He wears a small iron pot on his waist, filled with bulk liquor. The most awesome thing he did in college was that he was greedy for wine and had no money to buy peanuts.
Rice, I licked my fingers to taste the salty taste and drank wine.
Known as the Wine Master!
Comrade Jiu Xian didn't drink today, but when he came to look up at the stars, he immediately took out the iron pot on his waist and took two sips of white wine.
And said in a deep voice: "Come!"
Chen Zui pinched his nose, cut off a fish for him with a knife and looked up at the stars.
Then he stretched out his hand and said: "Pay five yuan first. Vomiting will not count. The time limit is one minute."
The wine master said nothing and gave me five dollars.
Chen Zui handed over the piece and looked up at the stars. The wine master pinched his nose and put the whole piece into his mouth.
Amid the exclamations in the audience, he chewed heavily. In the end, his expression showed pain, but his Adam's apple wriggled violently.
When everyone was sure that he had swallowed it, the audience burst into applause.
Chen Zui blinked: "Awesome"
You can't afford to die today, can you?
College students are really hidden dragons and crouching tigers.
After swallowing it, the Jiu Xian coughed dryly for thirty seconds, then took two more sips of white wine, took the fifteen yuan handed over by Chen Zui, turned around gracefully, and finally left only one sentence: "Nothing."
After he walked out of the crowd, more than a dozen good guys emerged from the crowd.
Everyone among them is famous
It seems that after seeing the success of Brewmaster, they feel that they can also succeed.
However, things soon turned out to be unsatisfactory.
They underestimated the power of looking up at the stars, and also underestimated the power of liquor.
The first handsome guy gave up completely as soon as he paid the money and heard about it.
The second person chewed it twice and spit it out because he couldn't bear the spicy food.
the third
fourth place
…
…
There are hundreds of flavors.
It tastes bad. It tastes bad.
Chen Zui's recipe of looking up at the stars is an unpalatable masterpiece.
The most important step is not to do any fishy removal treatment on the fish during the entire cooking process, without the aid of onions, ginger, and garlic, and to use a lot of stinky tofu, chili powder, pepper, and salt.
As soon as you enter the mouth, you will be greeted by a mixture of fishy, salty, spicy and choking smell. This smell can directly blow people's minds.
The reason why Brewmaster is successful.
It was because his constant consumption of liquor had numbed his nerves, and he temporarily drank two more sips of it, which was considered as sharpening his skills before the battle.
But apart from him, the rest of you are nothing more than Xiaoxiao
When the twenty-second challenger failed, Chen Zui had already earned back the one hundred yuan he had given to Aunt Li, and he still had more than eighty pieces left to look up at the stars.
And the scene did not become cold because of the Warriors' successive defeats.
Passionate about challenging the impossible, after arriving at university, most of the students who firmly believe that their futures have unlimited possibilities become more courageous than before.
Some of them were being teased by friends, instigated by roommates, and some wanted to show off in front of their girlfriends, not to mention just out of curiosity as to what this thing tasted like.
All in all, the students no longer took this challenge as a challenge, but started to have fun.
The atmosphere was so lively that every time someone opened their mouth, the students cheered loudly.
When the inevitable failure occurs, there will be a large number of people hooting and shouting.
And Aunt Li was completely dumbfounded when she saw Chen Zui holding away the five yuan.
The merchants who just watched Chen Zui's business, because there is no business now, the whole Er Canteen is paying attention to this challenge and standing aside to watch.
They couldn't figure out how, just looking up at the stars, besides having a nice name, how could a copy be worth five yuan?
After struggling for a while in the end, I could only lament that the world is different now.
Chen Zui also took some time off from his busy schedule and turned it over to Zhao Xiaokai as host halfway through the game.
When he and Zhao Wanrou came to the stall, a group of merchants headed by Aunt Li immediately surrounded them.
"Xiao Chen, you are really capable, I can see it."
"How come there are so many people eating it, spitting it out and paying for it? Isn't this money wasted?"
“I don’t understand, I really don’t understand”
"The world of young people, alas, alas"
There was a slightly younger guy whose family made noodles. He raised his head and said, "I've thought about it. I'll make butter noodles when I get back. What do you think?"
Chen Zui: "..."
On the field, Zhao Xiaokai may have been unlucky, but he really met another god.
This immortal is a Bodhisattva. I heard the comments from the students in the audience. This person worked in the Internet cafe for seven days and seven nights during the National Day holiday. He didn’t have a penny in his pocket, but he was good at picking up leaks and bullying children.
Just look at his unkempt hair, ragged clothes, and the smell of his body that can cover up his fishy smell when he stands in front of the starry sky. You can understand that this boy has an extraordinary endurance.
"BAA Baa baa"
After eating a piece, Yaoxian looked up at the stars and burped.
Although the smell that came up from the burp the next moment made him gag, he did not throw up after all.
If the challenge wasn't limited to one per person, he would really like to do it again
The audience was also cheering for him, and the second successful person finally appeared.
When Zhao Xiaokai handed him the fifteen yuan, he quietly left the stage like an outdoor expert. But before he had gone far, a classmate in the crowd shouted: "Fuck, don't run away, give me back the five yuan!"
"
I don’t know whether this classmate got the money back in the end.
But this dark cooking challenge is indeed very popular, and it is coming to an end as the ingredients continue to be consumed.
There were only ten yuan left in front of him, and when it should be over in less than ten minutes, Chen finally turned his head and asked Aunt Li and the merchants: "Do you want to make more money?"
Hearing this, Zhao Wanrou knew that the topic had finally come, and her eyes lit up unconsciously when she looked at Chen Zui.
As expected, many merchants, including Aunt Li, expressed that of course they wanted to make more money.
So Chen Zui coughed and used a new term in 2008 to confuse everyone: "Do you know about group buying?"
