The Victory of Connections (PY) / The One Who Reverses Life and Death
"Who?!"
The Doctor questioned her like that... She sighed and covered her head, but this was somewhat expected. After all, Cong Yu didn't look like a novice.
There's nothing we can do about it.
On a vast scale, over a lifespan of hundreds of years, even having dozens of lovers would be considered devoted.
"Maria."
Cong Yu said this.
"..." Doctor:"..."
Ta-da--
As her heart stopped beating, the Doctor gaped, utterly dumbfounded. "Which Maria?! That Maria?!"
I knew it was impossible for a virgin to give birth!
The case is solved! The case is solved!!
"..."
"No, no, no--"
Upon hearing her words, Cong Yu knew she had misunderstood and quickly waved her hand to indicate that it wasn't true. "It's definitely not that Maria. Your imagination is really wild... I wasn't even born then."
"It's Mary Theresa."
As he said this, Cong Yu looked at the Doctor, who seemed completely unfamiliar with him, and sighed, "Do you know Louis XVI's wife?"
The Doctor was shocked!
"You cuckolded Louis XVI!"
The Doctor hesitated for a moment before saying, "Could it be that the French Revolution has something to do with you?"
"..." Cong Yu sighed at the Doctor's conclusion, "Can I finish? It's not Mary Antonia, it's her mother... Duchess Mary Theresa Volbuga Christina."
"..."
"Europe names are so complicated, so what's the relationship between you two?"
The Doctor questioned her, while Cong Yu sighed helplessly, "I stayed overnight, that's all... So what was your mindset when you listened?"
How should I put it?
The Doctor thought she would be very angry, but for some reason... because Cong Yu's story was too far removed from reality, she found it hard to connect with.
Or rather, it's as if it's been relegated to the background of the world.
It's as boring as reading a history book.
"My heart is completely unmoved; I just feel that you have lived a very long time."
As he said this, the Doctor took out a key, opened a glass door in the experimental area, and then...
A familiar figure immediately rushed into Cong Yu's arms.
"Friend! Long time no see! Did you come to see me? Or to eat me? Kill me? Dismember me?!"
The mermaid leader said cheerfully, hugging Cong Yu's waist and rubbing against him, "Friend! Friend! Let's play!"
Doctor: "Tsk..."
The Doctor was furious!!!
Cong Yu: "..."
Especially when Cong Yu looked at the Doctor with an expression of utter disbelief, her anger reached its peak. "I didn't do anything!"
Cong Yu: "Um... yes, I believe you."
If you believe it, don't look away!
Chapter 290 The Victory of Connections (PY)
Wind City Food Talent Show...
No matter how you look at it, the name of this kind of show seems to be trying to piggyback on the popularity of "Beauty X Talent Show"...
However, it cannot be denied that as an entertainment-oriented food program suitable for all ages, Foodie Talent Show still has a lot of value.
Five food judges from around the world were invited.
After a contestant's dish passes the public audition, it will be presented to the judges for a live broadcast...
However, the contestants do not appear on stage; only photos of the contestant teams and their food entries are shown on television.
Five judges will taste the food and give their evaluations, after which you can press the red and green buttons in front of you.
The former indicates "not optimistic," and after pressing it, an "X" sign will appear in front of the judge; the latter indicates an "O."
If three people select the "green button," the contestant's dish will advance... otherwise, they will be eliminated.
At first glance, it seems to follow the same formula as the United States X Show.
Indeed, that's the case; both the selling points and the entertainment value are exactly the same, but audiences just love it.
Many housewives who love to lounge on the sofa enjoy watching this show...
Yes, even non-housewives watch it.
(Lantian Zhu: Me too, me too--)
Since the show's inception, four seasons have been filmed and released, with each season featuring a "support for current students" segment.
This involves holding open auditions for food creations by junior high and high school students in Wind City, who then submit their work to various judges for evaluation.
There are also some classic moments in this process.
For example, a judge might highly praise this and then suggest, "If you work at my restaurant after graduation..."
I'm willing to offer XXX US dollars.
Then the judges might compete with each other for it.
Some episodes even feature reruns, so overall it's quite interesting.
"After the commercial break, let's return to the Wind City Food Show. What's on the big screen now is the creation of the Windflower Girls' High School Pastry Study Club —a tiramisu cake."
"..."
"As we all know, tiramisu is a very versatile cake; it's easy to make a good one, but it's quite difficult to make an outstanding one."
The person saying this is Susanna, one of the show's regular judges, who is from France and worked for many years in a Michelin three-star restaurant.
Later, I chose to come to the Wind City Food Talent Show, hoping to spread France food culture to more people.
After taking a bite of the cake, the judge nodded and commented, "But I think this cake is outstanding."
Then, she pressed the green button.
Next came the evaluations from the other four judges, some of whom approved and some of whom eliminated, and there seemed to be some arguments among them.
But it's all scripted... plus a little bit of improvisation.
--
"Yawn--"
Lantian Zhu leaned lazily against the sofa, looking at Yaochuan Guang who was intently watching the program beside her. "Isn't it your turn yet?"
Yaochuan Guang didn't know the specific program schedule either; she just stared at the screen and said, "The production team said it's going to be exhibited today; I don't know if I'll be able to advance."
Suddenly, the TV screen showed a shot of someone advancing to the next round.
"What's being shown on the big screen now is Wind City High School's culinary creation—the Black Forest Cake."
The sound immediately excited Yaochuan Guang. She hugged Little Lan's right arm tightly and shouted nervously, "It's here! It's here!"
Their entries are about to be unveiled!
Meanwhile, Lantian Zhu looked at the "Gourmet Club" photo with a hint of something in her eyes, and then, looking at the group photo of the four of them, she couldn't help but ask, "Why are Kurenai and Cong Yu in the photo too?"
Yes, behind the photo of the Black Forest cake in the picture is a group photo of Yaochuan Guang, Yuan'an Alisa, Cong Yu, and their instructor, Akane.
"Eh? I just grabbed a random photo... But it doesn't matter! Cong Yu- chan won't mind."
As he said this, Yaochuan Guang chuckled.
Under their watchful eyes, the screen switched to a delicate little cake, which the judges began to taste and comment on.
Chef Yamada, one of the judges, was the first to taste it. He then glanced discreetly at Yuan'an Alisa on the screen, coughed lightly, and said, "Absolutely brilliant! Magnificent, no further words needed!"
This was his comment, and after saying it, he immediately pressed the green button... The cake was indeed good, but the title of the young lady of the Yuan'an family was even more intimidating.
Yamada wanted to continue working in Wind City, so he didn't dare say a bad word about it.
Susanna was the second to taste it, then nodded and said, "The taste and texture of this cake are excellent; I think it has great potential."
Then, a judge named Lisa glanced at Hong and Cong Yu in the photo, cold sweat dripping down her forehead.
She felt that although the cake tasted good, there were some details in the making process that needed improvement.
She has always been very picky about the characters she's given in scripts, and this time she had to give a veto to the storyline as well.
However... she worked under the Big Shadow and had met Lord Hong and Lord Cong Yu, so she didn't dare to complain at all.
No way!
Why didn't anyone say anything like that to her beforehand? If you want her to give you special treatment, you should have changed the script beforehand!
Who could stand this sudden change?!
However, before she made her comments, the other two judges clearly did not recognize these individuals, and they expressed in somewhat broken Japan that there was room for improvement.
Seeing this, Yaochuan Guang nervously pressed himself against Lantian Zhu, making the other person a little envious of Little Guang's figure. "Wow, can I advance? Can I advance?"
She knew that whether her work could advance depended on the decision of this last judge... Lantian Zhu tried to pull her hand away, but failed.
Actually, Lantian Zhu thought to himself, this is just a small program, what's the point of caring so much about whether or not we advance?
Little Guang probably wouldn't care about that small prize money either...
Yuan'an Alisa probably wouldn't care too much, since she could fund three or four such programs herself if she wanted to.
However, Yaochuan Guang, unaware of this, held his breath and stared intently at the television screen.
Just then, judge Lisa finally spoke up, "Actually, I think this cake does need improvement in terms of details."
She paused for a moment as she said this.
Yaochuan Guang immediately showed a disappointed expression.
However, judge Lisa quickly added, "But the cake still has many merits, so... I give it a good review!"
Three votes in favor, the work advances!!!
"..."
"Oh! Great!"
Yaochuan Guang cheered happily, while Lantian Zhu, who had been held tightly, was finally freed. She immediately revealed a fierce look in her eyes and then attacked Yaochuan Guang fiercely.
Grasp!
"Ah! Little Lan, what are you doing? Ouch--"
Knead, knead, knead!
"Little Lan! You're a pervert!"
"Smack!"
"..." Lantian Zhu (with a handprint on his face): "I was wrong!"
Yaochuan Guang: "Hmph--"
Chapter 291 The One Who Reverses Life and Death
"Some of you may not have any concept of my S6 victory, so I'll tell you about it again today."
In an office in Kyoto, in a place no one could find, was the office of the apprentice of the magical girl Azure Sky ☆ Qili..., Kyoto at the headquarters of the Magical Girl Association.
"First of all, you need to know that Magical Girl Brawl is already in Season 14. Let me tell you about the people who made it to the top ten back then..."
