Section 992 Jessica is coming
If you can be in charge, you will be a chef, and if you are not skilled, you will be a cook, although it is divided into two teams, but each team still has more than ten people, and everyone will work together, and it will not take long for the two banquets to be ready.
According to the rules set at the beginning, the two teams had to win and lose. The criteria for judging the winner are simple: after the invited guests have tasted it, they have to vote for the two banquets, and whichever side gets the most votes wins.
In order to ensure fairness, when the two teams have finished the dish, they must leave the table first, so that the guests will not vote against their will because of face.
Some people may say that the invited people are not acquaintances, where will those foreigners recognize these artists, and it is impossible for them to show favoritism at all.
Don't forget, Li Jingyuan is the first in the overall score now, and there are not a few people who know him, if he is allowed to stand at the table, maybe it will really make the guests have some ideas.
Moreover, even if you don't know Li Jingyuan, aren't there so many female artists on the scene. There are some 'gentlemen' who will vote because of beautiful women.
After tidying up, the staff of the program team invited the guests who had already arrived to come out, asked them to take turns to taste the dishes placed on the two tables, and then voted in front of the camera according to their tastes.
Of course, it was not easy to invite people here, so naturally we couldn't just let them taste it and leave. When the program team counted the votes here, the guests had actually been arranged to eat in the tent. Overall, the hospitality was pretty good. It's just that they didn't let these people appear in front of the camera for a long time.
After a while, the votes were counted. Liu Zaishi was in charge of the vote, and Li Jingyuan was supervising on the side. It's not that I'm worried about Yoo Jae-seok's cheating. said that it was a supervision, but in fact Li Jingyuan was a compliment, and his task was to help Liu Zaishi make the process more lively.
While waiting for the results, the expressions of the two teams seemed to be a little nervous. In fact, everyone is just acting, and there is no tension in their hearts at all.
If it weren't for making the show more interesting, the program team wouldn't have divided the artists into two teams. Ultimately. Today's event is just for relaxation, and if it's really too stressful, it's the opposite of the original intention.
Other words. It doesn't matter what the result is, but the process of finding the ingredients and cooking is a little more weighty. After shooting the previous shots, it doesn't really matter if you win or lose at the end of the day.
The results of the game came out, and the Liu Zaishi team, which was led by Song Qian, won the victory. This result was unexpected. But if you think about it. But it makes sense.
The person in charge of Li Jingyuan's side is Li Xiaoli. In "The Birth of a Family", Li Xiaoli has shown his skills many times, and relatively speaking, Song Qian has shown his skills in the show only a handful of times. Therefore, Song Qian's cooking is more popular than Lee Hyori's craftsmanship, which will somewhat surprise the artists on the scene. ("Youth Undefeated" has not been replaced, and now Song Qian has not yet appeared in "My Knot", and has not regularly participated in variety shows.) Song Qian naturally will not have the opportunity to show her cooking skills on TV. )
But looking back, Lee Hyo-ri is cooking Korean-style cuisine. But Song Qian made a table of Chinese food. Well, within the world of the world, Chinese food is much more famous than Korean food, these foreigners have not or may not have eaten Korean food, but they must have tasted Chinese food in the restaurant. If you want to say familiar, foreigners still find Chinese food more acceptable, so it is reasonable to make this judgment.
What's more, there are also several Chinese riders who have been invited. In any case, they can't leave Chinese food and choose Korean food. After adding these votes from them, it is even more logical for Song Qian to win.
Although the result is not important, but after all, it is a competition, so there must be some prizes. After the results came out, the program team took out the prizes that were prepared at the beginning.
It's not too delicate, and the price isn't expensive, but it's very distinctive. The small handicrafts full of South American style are still popular with many people. Not only was the winning team very satisfied, but even the artists of Li Jingyuan's team were a little envious.
After the shooting, someone may give away the prize, but that's for later, and for now, let's finish the meal first.
After winning the victory and seeing that the dishes she made were so popular, Song Qian and her helpers were still a little excited. After the game, she was even more enthusiastic when greeting her guests.
After seeing the Chinese drivers, Song Qian subconsciously greeted them in her native language, startling Lu Ningjun, Zhou Yong and others who came to visit. At the beginning, they thought that Song Qian was also a Korean who could speak Chinese like Li Jingyuan, but as soon as asked, Song Qian immediately identified herself, not a Korean, but an authentic Chinese, just to make her debut in South Korea.
This is a real hometown relationship, and for a while, Song Qian's relationship with the Chinese drivers has become much closer. Seeing that they were chatting happily, Li Jingyuan simply arranged for Song Qian to stay at this table and chat with the Chinese fellow villagers, which could be regarded as letting her express her homesickness.
Song Qian is entertaining the Chinese drivers, and other artists are entertaining other guests, although the conditions are relatively simple, but after having a delicious meal and the enthusiasm of the host, every guest feels very happy after eating this meal.
When the guests are happy, so will the people who treat them. In this way, a small treat made everyone's spirits relaxed. The pressure accumulated over the past week because of the competition has also been released through this small gathering.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
After adjusting my mental state, the next day, the game started again.
After a day of recuperation, the riders said goodbye to Arica today and headed south to Antofagasta, Chile's copper export port on the Pacific Ocean. The original design of the organizing committee for this stage was that the special stage of the motorcycle group covered a distance of 631 kilometers. The 611-kilometre special stage in the car and truck section was the longest of the special stages of the event, but the riders were exhausted considering the extreme difficulty of the first two stages. As a result, it was decided to drastically reduce the distance of the special stages, which were 273 km long for the motorcycle and quad bike sections, and 252 km for the car and truck sections.
Leaving aside the motorcycle group and truck group, let's take a look at the car group.
After the end of the previous stage, Li Jingyuan temporarily ranked first in the overall standings. He was 23 seconds ahead of Sainz in second place and 3 minutes faster than Attiyah in third place, while Peter Hansel, who was fourth overall. The gap between Lee Kyung-won and Lee Kyung-won was even greater, reaching as many as 12 minutes.
That is, if nothing else. Neither Attiyah nor Peter Hansel are likely to pose a threat to Lee's No. 1 spot, and Lee's biggest enemy on this stage is Sainz, who is right behind him.
When you face off against strong opponents, you always look nervous. And in today's game. Lee Kyung-won and Sainz made a presentation directly to the audience.
Because it is the first place in the overall score. So Li Jingyuan was arranged in the first starting position today. After he departed, it was a few minutes before it was Sainz's turn to depart.
Although the departure time was a few minutes apart, Sainz gradually caught up in the process of driving.
In Sainz's field of vision, Li Jingyuan's car can already be seen. It was a few minutes late, but now it's close at hand. That is, to run the same length of the distance. Sainz used up several minutes less time than Li Jingyuan. If the competition ends directly at this time, then he will overtake Li Jingyuan and win the first place in the overall score.
Fortunately, the game did not end directly, and there was still a chance for Li Jingyuan to chase it back. When Lee so-geun found out that Sainz's car was not far behind, Lee Kyung-won stepped on the accelerator and sped up the car.
Pull away, get closer, pull away again, get caught up again. On this special 252-kilometer stage, the pursuit of Lee Kyung-won and Sainz has not stopped.
Although there were no other cars around, just a duel between two cars, the whole scene still looked tense.
After the race, Li Jingyuan's time was 2 hours, 42 minutes and 25 seconds, ranking third in the stage. And before him, it was Sainz's 2 hours, 42 minutes and 17 seconds.
The first of the stage was Sainz's team-mate Attia, who clocked 2:40:57.
After this stage, Li Jingyuan still ranked first in the overall score for the time being. However, the gap between Sainz and him has narrowed a little, only 15 seconds, and Attiyah, who is behind, has also caught up, and after recovering two and a half minutes, there is only less than half a minute between him and Li Jingyuan.
January 10th, Matchday 10, Special Stage 8. Today the riders left the port city of Antofagasta and continued south to the silver- and copper-rich city of Copiapo in northern Chile to complete the full day of the race, with a special 508km stage today. The terrain can be divided into three different types, which greatly increases the difficulty of the race. Riders can easily get lost in the early stages of the race through the valleys, with patience in the middle of the mine and night in the last stretch of sand.
The previous day's special stage was only 252 km, but today it suddenly increased to 508 km, which is more than doubled, and the road conditions are more complex than yesterday. And the more complex the road conditions, the easier it is to affect the performance. In other words, there is a good chance that the drivers' positions will change a lot after this stretch of the road.
And that's exactly what happened. After the 508-kilometre time trial, the order of the top three finishes has changed dramatically.
It's Attiyah again, and after winning his first stage yesterday, he's taking first place again today. The total time was 5 hours, 16 minutes and 30 seconds.
And after Attiyah, it was Li Jingyuan, whose time was 5 hours, 18 minutes and 30 seconds. Although he was still second in the stage, he was a full two minutes slower than Attiyah, so he was behind Attiyah overall, and there was still a gap of one and a half points.
Even more unlucky than Lee Kyung-won was Sainz, who clocked 5:23:06 today. It was 6 minutes and 36 seconds slower than Attiyah, who finished first. 4 minutes and 36 seconds slower than Li Jingyuan. Not to mention dropping one place in the overall standings, the gap between the top two and the top two has widened all of a sudden.
At the end of the previous day's race, the first place was 15 seconds faster than the second place. The second place was more than ten seconds faster than the third place, and after today's race, the gap suddenly increased a lot. The overall time of the first place was one and a half minutes faster than the second place, and the difference between the second and third places was almost five minutes.
Judging from the results alone, it is not wrong to say that this stage is full of variables.
Attia suddenly jumped from the third place to the first place, so of course Li Jingyuan and Sainz will not be reconciled. Although the two belong to different teams, they do not communicate with each other. However, the two made a decision at the same time to work harder in the next matches.
January 11th, Matchday 11. Ninth Special Stage.
It was an interesting day, starting from Kopiapo and finishing at Kopiapo. The riders will have to cover 270 kilometers on an irregular loop.
If you look at the mileage of today's race separately, this round robin stage can be considered a quiet stroll in the desert. But. Accidents can also happen. Be careful when driving on the dunes, if you get trapped, it's not a matter of time.
Fortunately, Li Jingyuan did not encounter an accident. After preparing in advance, the air in the tires was released a little, and after the tire pressure was lowered, the car's adaptability to the dune terrain was also improved a lot.
Lee's final time on this stage was 2:14:58.
Speaking of Li Jingyuan, it is impossible not to mention his opponent. Sainz finished first in this stage. The time was 2:14:39, while Attiyah finished third. The time is 2 hours, 16 minutes and 35 seconds.
On this stage, Sainz recovered 1 minute and 56 seconds, and the gap between him and Attiyah has been reduced a bit, and it is now just over three minutes.
What is more worth mentioning is the competition between Li Jingyuan and Attiyah. Prior to this stage, Lee Kyung-won was 1 minute and 35 seconds slower than Attiyah, but in today's single-stage race, he was 1 minute and 37 seconds faster than Attiyah. After adding and subtracting, we get an interesting result.
Lee Kyung-won regained the overall top spot, with a two-second gap between him and second-placed Attiyah.
Two seconds, that's just one breath. What is called fierce, such competition is called fierce, otherwise, it is impossible to only have this gap.
The competition has reached such an extent that the level of tension can no longer be expressed in words. Not only were the staff on the side of the team feeling the pressure, but so was the Volkswagen team where Attia and Sainz were located.
However, compared to others, Li Jingyuan's client is a little different. Although he was also a little nervous, the degree of nervousness was much lighter than that of the others.
For what?
January 11 is not a special day in the Dakar Rally, but for Li Jingyuan personally, it has another meaning. Today, the 2010 World Football Festival will be held in Switzerland, and he will win the Golden Boot Award for the 2010 World Cup at this ceremony.
Of course, it has already been arranged, Li Jingyuan himself will not attend, and the people who replace him are Jessica and Xiaoyang.
After winning the award, I will be very excited, even if I am not there, I will feel very happy when I hear the master of ceremonies read his name, and Li Jingyuan, who is staying in South America, will also feel very happy.
In addition to his excitement, Lee Kyung-won will also worry about Xiaoyang and Jessica. Whether the two of them can adapt to the atmosphere of the ceremony, and whether they can smoothly say the acceptance speech for Li Jingyuan in front of so many big people, these things make Li Jingyuan a little involuntarily worried.
Moreover, Li Jingyuan also knew that after receiving the award for himself, Xiao Sun and Jessica would come directly from Switzerland with the trophy.
If you calculate the time, flying from Switzerland to Chile does not have to cross the Pacific Ocean, and the flight time is much less than that of flying from South Korea to Chile. If it is faster, Xiao Sun and Jessica can even arrive at the camp early in the morning of the 12th, which means that Li Jingyuan may be able to meet the two before leaving tomorrow.
Xiao Sun aside, the person Li Jingyuan wants to see the most is Jessica. Although saying this may make Little Sun a little sad, it is true.
It would be nice if I could meet Jessica before leaving tomorrow, Li Jingyuan thought so, and there was another feeling of anticipation surging in his heart.
Happy, worried, expectant, several emotions are entangled together, so that Li Jingyuan's mind is not completely focused on the Dakar Rally, so, compared to others, Li Jingyuan, the party, is not so nervous, and at the same time, the difference of only two seconds does not make him feel much pressure.
PS: The past two days have been too busy, and I was injured a little bit a while ago, and I haven't fully recovered yet, so the update time may be a little unstable, so please forgive me. (To be continued.) )
