Peninsula: The Great Producer

Chapter 185 Character Guessing, late but here we go.

Country H is not an island country.

The terrain of Country H, which is surrounded by the sea on three sides and connected to the land on one side, also means that there are inland cities.

Seoul is located inland, but it is not completely an inland city. Neighboring urban areas including Incheon and Sokcho are very close to the center of Seoul.

Freshly caught seafood also appears in major supermarkets and fish markets in Seoul every day.

However, the way of cooking seafood in Country H is relatively simple. Generally, it is directly steamed, eaten raw or grilled, and the most common ingredients on the table are shellfish, mackerel and other daily ingredients.

Slightly better ingredients such as abalone and lobster are used in high-end restaurants.

Country T is similar to Country H.

But there are big differences in seafood dishes.

In addition to the raw marinated dishes that Qi Yaojiu had discussed with Goo Hara and the others before, there are many ways to eat seafood in the buffet restaurant.

Qi Yaojiu, who entered the store last, stood behind Goo Hara and the other three with his arms folded over his chest, watching quietly.

At this time, Goo Hara and the other three were standing in front of the restaurant's display area, unable to move.

Scallops, crabs, shrimps, oysters, geoducks, squid, fish, razor clams, snails...all kinds of seafood are available.

“Can we also help ourselves to lobster?”

"Look at this, Ouni. Wow, the scallop is so big, bigger than my palm."

"What kind of shrimp is this? I've never seen it before."

“These are the kind you can only find in high-end restaurants in Seoul, and they’re very expensive.”

Qi Yaojiu walked forward slowly, nodded to the waiter beside him, and said, "Go upstairs first, they will be at the table in a moment."

“I’m totally looking forward to it.”

Follow Qi Yaojiu upstairs.

The shooting scene on the second floor has been arranged in advance.

Without needing to be reminded, Goo Hara and the other three walked directly to the back of the dining table, pulled out the chairs, and sat down in an orderly manner.

Knife, fork, chopsticks, everyone held the same tableware in their hands and shouted excitedly: "Seafood feast, seafood feast!"

Qi Yaojiu sat on a low stool opposite the dining table.

When Goo Hara and the other three saw this sitting posture, they immediately realized something.

Park Ji-yeon said, "No way, again?"

Goo Hara also said, "Is Oppa addicted to the game?"

Li Zhien asked Qi Yaojiu: "Do you really want to play games?"

Choi Sulli covered her shaking head and denied reality: "It must be a dream, it must be a dream."

Qi Yaojiu laughed and said, "Everyone, there is no free lunch in the world, unless you pay for it yourself."

"Look, let us pay for it ourselves. We only have 1400 baht left in our pocket money."

Qi Yaojiu pressed his hand: "The minimum consumption is 299 baht per person."

As soon as the words fell, the four of them exchanged glances quickly.

Qi Yaojiu knew what they were thinking. He would definitely use his pocket money to pay the bill rather than continue playing games.

But unfortunately, Qi Yaojiu reminded him, "You can only eat for half an hour, and you can't eat dishes like abalone, lobster, and black tiger prawns."

"Ah, why!"

Discontent erupted.

Qi Yaojiu said seriously, "So why do you feel you can't enjoy a seafood feast?"

The way he asked this question, especially with that expression of confusion, made many people want to punch Qi Yaojiu after seeing it. It was so annoying.

Qi Yaojiu put his hands together and said, "It's just a simple game. Besides, you are already masters at playing games. I am sure you can win the game, really."

"Oppa, stop talking."

"It's all Oppa's tricks. He gave us pocket money today, but we used it all on the missions. The remaining money is not enough to enjoy a seafood feast."

Qi Yaojiu emphasized: "That's why I said that this seafood feast was prepared by the production team."

"What if we lose the game?"

Li Zhien asked before Qi Yaojiu could, "Oppa, what game are we playing?"

Qi Yaojiu looked at Li Zhien and sighed "Oh~" before introducing the game, "Zhien, you've learned to ask questions first. Do you know what I'm going to say?"

Choi Sulli said loudly: "I know too"

Then a hilarious scene appeared. Choi Sulli imitated Ki Yo-gu's expression of incomprehension and said in a serious tone, "Why don't you believe in yourselves? In my heart, you are all very smart." Next to them, Goo Hara, Lee Ji-eun and Park Ji-yeon bent their fingers, and muttered "How annoying" came out of their mouths.

Ki Yoo-gu laughed and asked Choi Sulli, "Are you imitating me? I'm like this?"

Choi Sulli returned to normal and looked at the other members of the production team.

Qi Yaojiu turned around and asked, "Eunyoung, am I like this?"

Li Enying remained silent.

Other VJs, sound directors, Kim Ji-hwan, agents, makeup artists, etc. also avoided Ki Yo-gu's sight.

It's simply slander, blatant slander.

Qi Yaojiu raised his hand to smooth his hair, cleared his throat, and said, "The lunch menu is an unlimited seafood buffet. Of course, the prerequisite is that you pass the game in one go."

The next sentence was spoken almost simultaneously by Goo Hara, the other three, and Ki Yo-gu: "It's just a simple game..."

After staring at each other for two seconds, Qi Yaojiu gave a thumbs up and said, "Well, this game is a very difficult one."

"It's difficult? Why?"

"You don't believe me when I say it's easy, so I say it's difficult."

"Oppa, what kind of game is this?"

“Guessing the character, it’s hard, right?”

"Ah~ I know this, it's really difficult. I've seen 'New Journey to the West'."

IU is the quietest. Being quiet doesn't mean that IU thinks the game is easy, but rather that she played this game with Ki Yo-gu for a while every night before recording the show, so she is the one with the most experience in the game among the four.

But playing through a mobile phone is completely different from playing in person, and IU is not confident that she can pass it smoothly every time.

Compared to Lee Ji-eun, the other three couldn't keep calm at all.

Qi Yaojiu regained control of the atmosphere and said, "There are five rounds in total, one round each. The first time you pass the game, you can enjoy a free seafood buffet for 699 baht per person. There is no time limit or food limit."

"If you pass the second round, you can have a seafood buffet for 599 baht per person, but you won't get hairy crabs."

"Third round winners can enjoy a seafood buffet for 499 baht per person, but they won't be able to get hairy crabs or lobsters."

"The fourth round..."

After introducing the differences in the buffets after passing the game, the one I least want to accept but have to prepare for in advance is the 299 baht buffet per person with only half an hour to eat and very few dishes.

They are all foodies and their main concerns are the same.

What kind of food can you eat in half an hour of self-service time.

Qi Yaojiu didn't pour cold water on him this time, and suggested, "You can each be responsible for the Tom Yum Goong pot or hot pot and grill plate, and the other three can take the dishes they want to eat, just enough to be full for one round."

The four people thought it made sense and immediately started discussing how to divide the tasks. They also said they would ask the waiter what dishes they could eat at the 299 baht buffet per person.

Qi Yaojiu interrupted, "I told you all to believe in yourselves. As usual, let's practice the game first. These are all characters you know and have appeared on TV before, so don't be nervous."

They gathered together and asked each other who had confidence.

Lee Ji-eun was the first to take the lead, saying that she has always liked this game, so she would watch the TV show and play it in the dormitory by herself.

It was decided that Lee Ji-eun would be in the first position, and the least confident youngest member would sit in the fourth turning position. The only advantage of the turning position is that she only needs to answer once.

After the discussion, Goo Hara asked Ki Yoo-gu, "Oppa, is it okay to change the order?"

"Can"

"crash"

Pushing the chair away, Lee Ji-eun sat in the first seat on the left, followed by Goo Hara, Park Ji-yeon and finally Choi Sulli.

Goo Hara also explained: "Starting from Jieun, Sulli is the turning point. You only need to answer once, right?"

"Yes, are you ready?"

"Wait, not ready, wait."

Qi Yaojiu confirmed with the four people, "After I show you the photo, you have three seconds to give an answer. If you take more than three seconds or give an incorrect answer, you will fail. Is the rule clear?"

The four of them gathered together again, and Choi Sulli suggested, "If you can't remember the full name, just mumble it over first. Oppa will definitely confirm who we are answering, and then you will have time to think of a new name."

Goo Hara and the other two secretly made an OK gesture under the table.

Don’t say that Choi Sulli, the youngest member, really had any bad ideas. No, she is just too smart and reacts too quickly. She is a treasure maknae.

Opposite the dining table.

Although Qi Yaojiu couldn't hear what the four people were saying, he observed that the three sisters were listening to what Cui Xueli said and probably guessed that there must be something fishy going on.

Qi Yaojiu said to Li Enying leisurely: "I bet there will be new cheating scenes soon."
