Chapter 299 Sufficient Reason
Wang Yanbing on the other side also heard the conversation between the two. He glanced at Li Erniu who was laughing foolishly and hadn't realized the problem yet. He sighed in his heart and couldn't help but remind him:
"Brother Niu, use your unopened brain and think carefully. What could be under that black cloth?"
After hearing this, Li Erniu immediately chuckled and said, "I guess it's steamed buns!"
Then, he gave a very good reason: "In our place, we cover them with cloth to prevent them from cooling down quickly and attracting flies!"
"It's just that we use white and they use black..."
"Oh my brain..."
Listening to his well-reasoned arguments, Wang Yanbing's mind seemed to be stuffed with something dirty. It became a mess and his face couldn't help but wrinkle.
Unable to follow Brother Niu's train of thought, he chose to shut up, standing there without saying a word, and also ignored him.
Li Erniu also had no time to pay attention to him. At the moment, he was imagining the scene when dinner was served.
When he thought about having a big white steamed bun in his left hand and a big meat bun in his right hand, he couldn't help swallowing the saliva in his mouth.
He Chenguang, who was eavesdropping on the conversation between the two, almost couldn't help laughing out loud, but in order not to be deducted points, he could only force himself to hold back his laughter, which made his face red.
Zhang Tao saw the pumpkins in front of him with slightly changed expressions, and he knew that they probably had some guesses in their minds.
So he didn't waste any words and raised his chin to signal the instructor beside him.
Seeing this, the instructors who had been waiting for a long time did not hesitate. After pulling back the black cloth covering the cage, they stood aside with a wicked smile, waiting to watch the show.
Li Erniu looked at the instructors' actions with anticipation, but as the black cloth was lifted, the anticipation on his face suddenly froze and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Not only him, but the others, although they had been mentally prepared, couldn't help but swallow their saliva when they saw what was in the cage.
Looking at the live chickens, snakes, frogs, voles and a pot of unknown white fat insects in the cages in front of him, Li Erniu realized that he was too naive.
He forced himself to suppress the surge in his throat, and murmured with a sad face: "It's over, it's all over now... I didn't see the buns, but there was a lot of stuffing..."
After hearing this, He Chenguang and Wang Yanbing, who were standing nearby, were speechless and rolled their eyes.
stuffing?
It’s already this late, and you’re still thinking about buns?
Ignoring the restlessness of the pumpkins, Zhang Tao stepped aside to let the creatures behind him pass, pointed at them and said with a smile: "I'm sure everyone knows these, so there's no need for me to introduce them, right?"
Upon hearing this, the pumpkins shook their heads stiffly, indicating that they didn't need his explanation.
Zhang Tao nodded and continued, "Okay, then who wants to try it first?"
After hearing this, the pumpkins shook their heads again, and their movements were much more agile than before.
Seeing this, Zhang Tao walked over, picked up a white insect and showed it to them.
"I know what you're thinking. Are you feeling disgusted? Can't you overcome the barrier in your heart?"
The pumpkins didn't say anything and didn't make any movements, obviously agreeing with what he said.
Zhang Tao looked at them and continued, "But I want to tell you that these things that make you feel disgusted are precisely the things that can save your life at the critical moment!!"
"As the saying goes, there is always a way out! And these things are exactly the insurance that nature provides for us when we are stranded in the jungle!"
"So stop struggling. Come on. You are allowed to choose the species you like."
"Of course, if anyone really can't accept it, I won't force it, but you can choose to withdraw."
After saying that, Zhang Tao paused, giving the pumpkins time to think, and then he chuckled and asked:
"How about it? Anyone want to quit? Anyway, we have only started the selection for a few days, so it won't be a loss if you quit now."
"If we wait until half of the selection is over and then want to withdraw, it will be a huge loss..."
Faced with Zhang Tao's persuasion, several weak-willed pumpkins in the queue suddenly became shaken and showed hesitant looks.
Zhang Tao also noticed them and quietly memorized the numbers on their chests.
In his eyes, these people are already on his elimination list.
Such a person who is easily shaken is not the candidate that Mr. A needs.
As for whether they can get out of the list later, it depends on their future performance.
However, unless these people perform much better than others, they will no longer catch his attention.
"report!"
At this moment, a loud voice suddenly came from the queue.
Zhang Tao looked in the direction of the voice, and after seeing who it was, he asked, "No. 51, do you want to quit?"
Hearing this, He Chenguang hurriedly explained: "Report, I don't want to quit, I just want to try the gift of nature first."
After he finished speaking, Wang Yanbing said, not to be outdone: "Report! I want to try it too!"
Li Erniu looked left and right, and seeing that both of them had gone up, he thought to himself that he couldn't let them down, right?
So he gritted his teeth and followed the two people's pace: "Report! Me...Me too!"
"Report! Me too!" Xu Tianlong was equally unwilling to be outdone.
"New recruits, why are you making such a fuss? Are you trying to show off your abilities?"
Song Kaifeng was extremely dissatisfied with the three conscripts forcing themselves to take the spotlight. He rolled his eyes and shouted arrogantly, "Report! There's me too!"
He did this for no other reason than that he didn't want to be outdone by the three conscripts.
Li Xiang leaned against the tree, looked at the five people in the team who shouted out the report, and murmured with a smile: "Interesting..."
As expected, they are teammates of our future team. This is already very meaningful.
But unfortunately, Gong Jian had been poached by themselves a long time ago, so they were destined to not be able to get the original team together.
Besides, they are now in Old A. Forget He Chenguang, but as for the others… it’s hard to say whether they can go back…
After all, there are so many good talents, and Qi Heng just happened to be looking for successors. How could such a stingy person let them go easily?
Zhang Tao was not at all dissatisfied with the continuous reports. Instead, he was very happy that so many people were willing to step forward.
He nodded and agreed, "Then you five, come and make a sample first!"
After hearing this, the five people walked out of the team. Except for Li Erniu, everyone else looked confident.
But as they got closer, the four of them looked at the rich and colorful ingredients in front of them, and their expressions became as sad as Li Erniu's.
They had never eaten anything like this before, and for a moment they found it difficult to start.
