Chapter 246: Covet
“Hello everyone, this is your adorable host, Little Orange!”
On a small passenger cruise ship marked with the Leaping Fish Banquet logo, a lovely and cute girl held up a selfie stick, connected to simple live streaming equipment, and waved at the camera with a radiant smile.
This girl is a host in the outdoor section of D Site, with countless fans due to her soft, cute voice and adorable looks, ranking in the top ten in popularity in Mingjing Province’s outdoor section of D site.
After starting her stream as always, she greeted the viewers in her live streaming room. After her fans rushed in, Little Orange officially began her opening speech.
She maneuvered the camera to avoid other people from entering the shot, spun around to show her audience the environment behind her, then gave a sweet smile. “Everyone, guess where Little Orange is now?”
(Let’s rule out Jumping Fish Lake first.)
(That’s right, there’s no way Little Orange would be at the Leaping Fish Banquet at this time.)
(Are you guys silly? I spotted the Leaping Fish Banquet logo in the frame.)
(Honest guy upstairs, certified.)
(…)
Looking at the barrage of messages, Little Orange’s mouth twitched a bit, “That’s right! You guessed it! I am now on Jumping Fish Lake, onboard the first passenger ship headed to the ‘Yueyu Cruise Ship’. And to give you guys who aren’t in Yue Hu City a live broadcast of the grand scenery at the Leaping Fish Banquet!”
“The rules for this time’s Leaping Fish Banquet are quite special. Some of you may already know, but I still need to introduce it to you all…” Little Orange started off cheerfully and casually explained the special rules for stalls at this Leaping Fish Banquet.
With her lively expressions and soft voice, even the rule introduction did not seem boring at all.
After the introduction, Little Orange’s smile deepened, “The super-large Food Street in the middle of Jumping Fish Lake, have you seen it before? Today, Little Orange will take you there to experience it!”
This time, no one messed with the barrage messages, many fans expressed their interest.
“The staff explained earlier that for the smooth operation of this Leaping Fish Banquet, six boarding platforms have been temporarily set up on the giant ‘Yueyu Cruise Ship’.” Little Orange continued.
“These six boarding platforms are located at different positions on the ‘Yueyu Cruise Ship’ deck. After the passenger ship I am on reaches the boarding platform, the passengers on the ship can directly reach different parts of the deck from the platform.”
“This not only effectively ensures the order and safety of personnel dispersion but also allows the flow of people to be evenly distributed to every stall. It ensures the fairness of the Leaping Fish Banquet.”
At this point, Little Orange couldn’t help but show an admiring look,
” Wuwuwu, Ms. Ye Cangqing is really considerate, I’m crying!”
(Cry fast! If you don’t cry, you’re not a Samiyan!)
(Such a cute loli, I can make three cry with one punch!)
(If Little Orange cries, I’ll accompany her, wuwuwu!)
(…)
“Humph! The room moderator, mute that person who wants to make me cry!” Little Orange stared angrily, then continued, “There are a total of twelve piers by the Jumping Fish Lake. Depending on their location, they will board at fixed platforms.”
“The pier I boarded from is East Star Port, which corresponds to platform 3.”
When the introduction reached this point, Little Orange suddenly turned around.
“Ta-da~ We have arrived!”
Behind her, a giant cruise ship shimmered with the cold light of metal under the sunlight. The three characters “Yueyu Cruise Ship” were extraordinarily conspicuous.
“I will take you guys to witness the grand scene of stalls at the Leaping Fish Banquet later, you can send in the chat the foods you want me to try, and Little Orange will taste them for you!”
Little Orange boarded the platform under the guidance of a staff member while sweetly speaking to the camera, “But I’m not a big stomach king, nor a wealthy lady, so please go easy on me-”
(Got it! Brothers, pick the main dishes, let Little Orange experience the malice of humanity!)
(Got it! Brothers, pick the ones with huge portions, let Little Orange exercise her stomach!)
(Got it! Brothers, pick the most expensive ones, let’s bankrupt Little Orange!)
(…)
Little Orange’s mouth twitched again.
This group of viewers, negative reviews!
Soon, Little Orange stepped onto the deck.
The bustling scene that came into view made her open her mouth in surprise. It took her a while to recover, “My heavens! So many stalls!”
She aimed the camera at the stalls in front of her, scanned a circle, and exclamations quickly filled the chat.
“The audience in the live-stream room can only see that there are many stalls here and each stall is ready with various exquisite dishes. But poor Little Orange has difficulty choosing!”
“Can you imagine the feeling of being surrounded by various scrumptious smells?” Little Orange put on a pitiful expression and rubbed her stomach.
“Let’s hurry up and find something to eat!”
“Gurgle!”
A food guest has boarded!
While Spicy was using Cooking Acceleration to help fry the crab powder, Dan Bao vigilantly observed the surroundings and promptly reported the movement of the food guest.
Qin Lang glanced up and checked out his surroundings.
The best position on the deck is undoubtedly near the six boarding platforms.
His stall is about ten stalls away from the nearest entrance and exit of the boarding platform.
Standing in his position, he could see the crowded crowd surging in from the entrances and exits of each boarding platform, first squeezing in at the nearest stalls, and then quickly moving towards the inner part.
“Perfect timing, the first pot of crab powder is ready.” Qin Lang glanced at the orange-gold crab powder in the pot, brimming with a rich aroma, nodded with satisfaction, turned the fire to its lowest, and closed the lid of the pot to keep warm, waiting for the arrival of the first batch of food guests.
“There are really too many people.”
Looking at the rapidly forming lines in front of each stall, Little Orange helplessly puffed out her cheeks.
She’s small and can’t squeeze past those burly guys.
She never imagined that coming to the Leaping Fish Banquet would give her a sense of deja vu of scrambling for discount products with elderly people during a supermarket sale.
“Let’s go further in.”
Little Orange quickly thought of a way, “Passenger ships come every twenty minutes, and the next one won’t be here that soon, so the food guests who boarded the ‘Yueyu Cruise Ship’ aren’t actually that many, it’s just that it appears crowded at the entrances and exits.”
“Let’s start from the inner stalls, and do the opposite of what others are doing!” Little Orange’s smile appeared quite smug, “As expected of me, the smart and clever Little Orange!”
Ignoring the “shameless” and “self-promotion” messages in the live-stream room, Little Orange cheerfully walked towards the inner part.
Sure enough, as she predicted, after about ten stalls, the stalls in front no longer required queuing.
Just as she was about to go deeper, the chat within the live-stream room suddenly became organized.
(Little Orange, look at your right!)
(Hurry and rush to the stall on your right!)
(Surprise! There is such a good-looking guy at the Leaping Fish Banquet!)
(…)
“Huh?”
Little Orange blinked, looked at a stall on her right guided by the chat.
Qin Lang looked at the girl who stopped in front of his stall and smiled softly.
“Would you like some Crab Roe Fried Rice?”
