"Is this okay?" Wang Yi looked at the I-shaped stove and rolled his eyes.
Several other people leaned over to take a look and also saw the word "I".
Zhuang Yu couldn't help but said, "It's too hard to find. You can only see the whole place from your angle."
"This table is revolving. In theory, each of you can see this." Liu Yuan said with a smile.
"Did the table turn just now?" Yu Dongyu asked.
Zhuang Yu thought for a while and said, "It really turned around. It turned around in a circle at the beginning, but who would pay attention to this thing at that time."
Hearing what they said, Wang Yi said, "Old Liu, you are so unreasonable. I agree, whether you want to drink this wine or not depends on what the referee says. Zhang Zhong, tell me, what is the question he asked?
Does it count or not?"
When Zhang Zhong saw that the difficulty was being pushed to him, he smiled helplessly and said, "Since I am asked to be the referee, you can't have any opinions on how I will judge."
"No, no, just say it." Wang Yi said.
"Well, that's what I'll say." Zhang Zhong stared at Liu Yuan and said, "This question is indeed a bit excessive, and I didn't see the word "" at all."
"However, we had a chance to see it, but we didn't observe carefully enough. So I think although this question is a bit difficult, it is still within a reasonable range. Lao Wang cannot escape these two glasses of wine."
Originally, Wang Yi was quite happy when he heard Zhang Zhong say that Liu Yuan's questions were too difficult, thinking that Zhang Zhong was speaking for him. But who knew that Zhang Zhong changed the topic and the final verdict was to let him put the two
After finishing the glass of wine, Wang Yi sighed, "You are not colluding with this guy Liu Yuan, are you?"
"You can't accuse me unjustly, or you will be fined with alcohol."
Liu Yuan also smiled and said, "Lao Wang, please stop biting and drink the wine quickly. Let's continue the game."
Wang Yi shook his head helplessly, picked up the cup, and drank two glasses of wine.
Liu Yuan took the lead in applauding, "Awesome, awesome, let's give him some encouragement."
Several other people also gave some applause, and then Liu Yuan said with a smile, "You newcomers understand, now it's your turn."
Zhang Zhong nodded and said, "It's their turn, let Feng Hefu and Zhao Re shoot this round."
Zhao Re and the others knew they couldn't escape, so they happily started the game.
…
The pace of this game is slow, but some people drank a lot after two rounds.
But there is also a disadvantage, that is, everyone drinks unevenly. Some people are almost drunk, but some people have not even started drinking.
Liu Yuan thought of another way and said, "Let's play something rough."
Wang Yi narrowed his eyes and asked, "What's so rough?"
Liu Yuan took a handful of toothpicks on the table, broke one of them into two pieces, and then took all the toothpicks in his hand and said to Zhang Zhong and the others, "It's so rude, you took the toothpick from my hand,
Whoever draws the shorter one will have a drink."
After hearing Liu Yuan explain the rules, Zhuang Yu rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "You are too rude."
"Hey, what I want is to be rough." Liu Yuan stretched out his hand in front of Zhuang Yu and said, "Here, I'll give you a privilege. You choose first. The person who chooses first has a higher probability of winning."
"You think I haven't learned about probability? Isn't it the same as drawing lots? The probability of choosing first and second is the same," Zhuang Yu said.
"Never mind that the probabilities are different, just tell me whether you want to choose first. If you don't choose first, I'll let Wang Yi choose first."
Zhuang Yu quickly grabbed him and said, "Okay, okay, I'll choose first."
Holding Liu Yuan's hand, Zhuang Yu observed it carefully for a while and said, "This kind of toothpick on the side is definitely safe, because the broken toothpick is more uncomfortable when placed on the side, so it must be in the middle."
As Zhuang Yu spoke, he chose one of the many toothpicks and slowly pulled it out.
As more and more places were exposed, Zhuang Yu's expression became more and more happy.
But at this moment, the broken end of the toothpick he picked was exposed.
Zhuang Yu was a little confused when he saw the half toothpick in his hand.
You know, there were at least a dozen toothpicks in Liu Yuan's hand, and only one was broken.
In terms of probability, the probability of one in ten is still relatively small, and the theory he just mentioned is not completely unreasonable. The probability of a toothpick appearing in the middle is definitely higher than the probability of appearing in the middle.
But by chance, he was the first one to pull out the broken toothpick.
The expressions of the others were richer. Liang Yanqiu and Feng were not very familiar with them and Zhuang Yu. Although they wanted to laugh, they still tried hard to hold it in.
But Zhang Zhong and others who were familiar with Zhuang Yu had no worries and laughed unscrupulously.
Especially Wang Yi, who had had a few drinks himself, and because he had just suffered a loss, he was very happy to see Zhuang Yu deflated. He held his belly and said, "Haha, what kind of hand are you doing? I think you go buy lottery tickets."
, I will definitely win the prize. It’s safer to be on the other side, that’s nonsense...have a drink quickly.”
Liu Yuan also pushed the wine in front of him, "Come on, do you want to have some food first?"
Zhuang Yu picked up the cup and drank it in one gulp, then grabbed the toothpick from Liu Yuan's hand and held it in his own hand, saying, "Come on, I'll hold it this time, and you, Old Liu, will draw it."
When Liu Yuan was about to pump, Zhuang Yu retracted his hand and said, "This pumping is too slow. I suggest a rougher one."
Zhuang Yu put the toothpick back, took out the broken one, and said, "I will hold this toothpick in one of my hands. You just need to guess which hand the toothpick is in. You guessed it right."
I drank, but I guessed wrong and you drank."
Upon hearing Zhuang Yu's rule, Liu Yuan cursed, "You are too rude. Isn't this the same as rock-paper-scissors? It's so unfair to me."
"What's unfair? If you guess right, I'll drink it too."
"Oh, that's true."
The rule Zhuang Yu said is indeed simpler and more crude. Liu Yuan said it is like drawing lots. After the discussion, only one person drinks. But with the current rule, one person wants to drink every time the lot is drawn.
He moved his hands behind his back, then put his hands in front of Liu Yuan, "Choose."
Liu Yuan touched his chin, pointed at Zhuang Yu's left hand and said, "I guess the toothpick is in this hand."
After speaking, he stared at Zhuang Yu's expression closely, hoping to see his expression change, but to his disappointment, there was no expression change on Zhuang Yu's face.
Zhuang Yu smiled and said, "Don't even think about defrauding me. It's useless. Just make your choice quickly."
Liu Yuan had no choice but to choose one at random, "I choose the right hand."
Hearing Liu Yuan say that he wanted to choose his right hand, Zhuang Yu suddenly laughed and then slowly opened his right hand.
But then Liu Yuan suddenly said, "I choose the left hand."
Zhuang Yu immediately frowned and said, "Why, you still feel regretful."
"You haven't announced the answer yet, why don't I change the answer?" Liu Yuan said confidently.
"Well, okay, I'll give you a chance." Zhuang Yu smiled and opened his left hand, and the broken toothpick was lying in his left hand.
Liu Yuan was stunned when he saw the toothpick lying in Zhuang Yu's left hand.
Then he came to his senses, pointed at Zhuang Yu and shouted, "Old Zhuangtou, you tricked me."
Zhuang Yu said with a smile, "What did I cheat on you? You wanted to choose the left hand yourself, and I was very compassionate and gave you a chance to choose again. But I gave you the chance and you didn't use it. You chose the right one.
But I just don’t insist on it. This story tells you a truth. On the one hand, you can’t be too rogue, but on the other hand, you have to be persistent. As long as you have one of these qualities, you won’t make the wrong choice.”
"Okay, I'm willing to admit defeat. I'll do it."
Seeing such a good show, everyone else also laughed, but Liu Yuan said, "Don't laugh, it will be your turn later."
…
The meal lasted until about eleven o'clock in the evening. Everyone was talking and chatting. No one was drunk, but they were all dizzy.
When the wine is drunk and the courage is still showing, everyone's bragging skills become more powerful.
At the end, when everyone couldn't drink anymore, Zhuang Yu even sang a song "New Generals Enter the Wine" while patting his chest.
"Come, come, come, come, drink thousands of glasses of wine, and write thousands of articles. Come, come, don't stop eating until the sun rises. Zhang Qianli, Lao Liutou, drink wine quickly, eat vegetables quickly. Wang Jiashe
It’s like yesterday, so why reminisce until it’s empty. When we had a banquet in the past, only wine and poems were left. Why do we need to hold our foreheads and cover our stomachs today? Why not just have three more glasses..."
Hearing him mention Wang Meng, Zhang Zhong and the others felt a little uncomfortable after drinking. Recalling the days of eating and chatting together at Wang's house, those days were gone.
Wang Yi picked up the cup and took a sip of wine. Zhang Chong saw that his eyes were getting red and thought that today's wine was indeed a bit spicy.
…
Early the next morning, several people who had sobered up were a little embarrassed and ran over to apologize to Zhang Zhong.
Zhang Zhong himself drank a lot last night, and he didn't make any arrangements for them, so he let them go to the guest room to sleep in a daze.
In turn, he gave them several more apologies.
Zhuang Yu and the others stayed in Jiangyang for four or five days, and most of the time they spent chatting around the stove.
The chat between them has no purpose. It doesn't matter where they talk. Sometimes they just talk about a random topic and they may chat for half a day.
After Zhuang Yu and the others left, Zhang Zhong carefully thought back to the days he had spent chatting with them over the past few days. It seemed like he had talked about everything, but it seemed like he had talked about nothing at all.
But I think these past few days have left a deep impression on all of them.
If any of them wants to write an autobiographical essay in their later years, I'm afraid they won't be able to skip these few days.
Zhang Zhong thought of the poem written by Zhuang Yu. Although it was a mess and was completely a limerick, it was quite interesting.
…
"I have something to report to you."
Not two days after Zhuang Yu and the others left, Yang Xiao called Zhang Zhong and said she wanted to report something to Zhang Zhong.
"Is it about the New Year's Eve party?" Zhang Zhong asked.
"Yes, things have taken shape. I have conducted questionnaires in various universities in Jiangyang. The content of the questionnaire is that if the school holds a New Year's Eve party for those who are staying in school this year, will they be willing to participate? Guess what the result will be?
Sample?"
"The result should be good. From your tone, there should be a good result." Zhang Zhong said.
"Bingo, you guessed it right, the results are really good. This survey only covered less than a quarter of the students, and more than a thousand students have expressed their willingness to participate in such a party."
"So many?" Zhang Zhong said in surprise.
"I'm also surprised, but that's the truth." Yang Xiao said.
Zhang Zhong thought for a while and said, "Don't be too optimistic. The results of the questionnaire don't mean anything. There should be a lot of water in it. Maybe some students just wrote it for fun. If we really invite them to the party, they won't
It may not come."
"I know this, but even if only one-third of the more than a thousand people can come, after the students from all schools are finally covered, there should be several thousand people. At least initially, this New Year's Eve party is going to be successful.
." Yang said with a smile.
Zhang Zhong nodded and said, "No matter what, I will support your work. When the time comes, you just need to report the number of people, and I will allocate funds to you."
"I'm going to tell you this on this phone call. Before, you said that the average price per person was one hundred yuan. At the time, you thought it was quite a lot. But now that I think about it, this one hundred yuan is a bit small. It may be enough.
If you want to have a meal and have a decent New Year's Eve party, I'm afraid it won't work. You see, at this time, I can't let the students who are staying in school put on their own shows. I must invite some people to perform. Since I want to
It will definitely cost a lot of money to hire someone to perform a show..."
"I understand. Don't worry about the program. I'll make the arrangements for you and I won't allocate additional funds to you." Zhang Zhong said.
Hearing what Zhang Zhong said, Yang smiled and said, "This is a good idea. Who do you want to invite? Tell me in advance?"
"Don't worry about this. You can just watch the show when the time comes."
"Okay, then I'll wait for your news."
After hanging up Yang Xiao's call, Zhang Zhong called Xu Yang again and asked him to ask the performers invited for the annual meeting if they would like to take on another job.
The company's annual meeting will be held in two days. If those people are willing to go to Shizhong Academy to perform, it will save time to find other people.
This annual meeting invited a lot of celebrities, not many top celebrities, but quite a few second- and third-tier celebrities.
There are also many types of programs, including singing, dancing, skits and cross talk.
Xu Yang responded quickly. Half of the stars could not change their schedules, and the other half agreed to go to Shizhong College.
Zhang Zhong asked Xu Yang to contact a few more celebrities and put together a commercial performance lineup, and then asked the company's stage production team to go to Shi Middle School to decorate the auditorium stage.
Yang Xiao has also started registration for the New Year's Eve party, and the specific results should be available in two days.
Anyway, the party will definitely be held. Even if there are not enough teachers and students to come, it doesn't matter. You can also invite some local people, such as employees of Zhang Zhong's company, to attend, which will always make the party more interesting.
