It's spring again, Brother Zhang started to prepare for this year's winter banquet early in the morning, as usual, he prepared extraordinarily rich things this year, one is to give a reward to the residents of Chang'an Lane who have worked hard for a year, and second, if there is no accident, this will be the last time he will host this festival exclusive to Chang'an Lane.

When he got up early in the morning, he began to blanch the ribs and beef, and then sat there while listening to the news while peeling shrimp, and now with the resumption of production and life in the south, the TV program has also started again, and the news in it is good and bad, but it is worth affirming that the past year has been the most painful year in the history of the country and even the world, even after all kinds of methods have been exhausted, the world's population has still plummeted by one-third, and there are 2.6 billion people who stayed forever last year.

Maybe this number doesn't sound special at first glance, but if you bring it into your familiar hometown, there are one-third fewer people in your hometown when you wake up, the uncle who has eaten wontons on the street corner for 20 years, the grandma who always sits there smiling and greets you at the mouth of the alley, the beautiful flower shop proprietress downstairs, the boss who sells pig's knuckle rice to save her daughter's dowry, the sanitation worker aunt who helps you clean up the garbage every day, the little girl who skips school with you since you was a child and goes to the factory for an internship to start a business, the girl you have a crush on, family members, etc., It's just a year to die, but if you can bring it to experience it, and you don't feel it at all, I'm afraid you have to pay attention to your mental health problems.

When the meal was almost ready and the time came to noon, Brother Zhang moved the food out and put it in front of his store as always, and the residents of Chang'an Lane lined up to come over to eat.

It's just that the number of people this year is seventy percent less than in previous years, some of them are volunteers in the mountains and seas, and most of them are the incapacitated or children in Chang'an Lane.

But no matter how many people are left, Brother Zhang will do this job seriously and well.

This time, the dishes are seven meat and three vegetarian soups, the meat dishes are tangerine peel duck, salt-baked chicken, sweet and sour pork ribs, spicy braised beef, crispy pigeon and hand-grabbed mutton, and the vegetarian dishes are mapo tofu, stir-fried cold potatoes, braised eggplant, the two soups are sweet and salty, the sweet is lotus root powder Bazhen soup, and the salty is West Lake beef soup.

He gave the queue a meal, thanked him and gave a red envelope, the red envelope could not contain a few money, mainly to beg for a lottery, most people are willing to save the red envelope given by the Holy Lord and leave it for their children to spend the New Year, after all, there is nothing more auspicious in the world.

After lunchtime, Brother Zhang naturally went back to the house to rest, he sat in front of the dresser in the room and continued to revise the plan he envisioned, which was the most meaningful and interesting thing he could think of, so this time he was extra serious, more serious than anything before.

Just as he was concentrating, there was a knock at the door, and Brother Zhang raised his head and promised, "Please come in." ”

The door slowly opened, Ying smashed the probe and walked in, and laughed after seeing Brother Zhang, and then he raised the gift in his hand, that is, some fruits and pastries that he bought casually, but looking at his thief eyebrows, Brother Zhang had already guessed a rough idea.

"No need to talk."

"I haven't talked about it yet." Ying smashed the things by the door and sat next to Brother Zhang with a frown: "I came this time to ask you something." ”

has known each other for decades, and Brother Zhang knows what he wants to say, while Brother Zhang puts down his pen and leans back in his chair: "Okay, you can say it." ”

"Here's the thing, aren't you going to abdicate, this prince hasn't decided yet, right? Do you think I'm successful? ”

"You?"

Brother Zhang laughed after hearing this, this is purely to be blind, the Holy Lord wants to gather all the virtues in one, benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and faith, gentleness, courtesy, frugality, no one is enough, what kind of forcing is Ying Smash, does he really not have any number himself?

He is the Holy Lord? The tomb of the Holy Lord of the past had to be blown up that night, and it was absolutely impossible for Zhang Getuo to scold him 24 hours a day.

"I know I'm still a little close, but I'm not young yet, I'll learn slowly."

Ying Smash obviously knew that he had a flaw, but he didn't seem to care, and even had a bit of a dead face.

Brother Zhang waved his hand: "Qing Lingzi is responsible for the selection of people, you can go to him." ”

As soon as I heard this, it was basically the most euphemistic refusal, and it was clear that it was impossible, what kind of person is Qing Lingzi, and others don't know if they don't know about Ying Smash?

So when Brother Zhang said this, Ying Smash was basically discouraged, so he asked curiously: "Has anyone chosen it?" Who do you think is a good fit? ”

Brother Zhang was silent for a moment and then said, "Hu Deyou." ”

Ying Smash was also stunned when he heard this name, but he had a good brain, and after a little pondering, he understood the cause and effect of the whole thing, and he frowned and looked at Brother Zhang carefully.

"You wait for me to figure it out."

"Don't do it." Brother Zhang stood up and handed the paper in his hand to Yingsmash: "Go and verify the feasibility, and find Ah Guo and Zhang Yao to help you verify it." ”

Ying slammed it, but didn't say anything, just silently exited the room, and after he looked around, he slipped into the small bamboo forest and entered the spiritual illusion realm.

And Brother Zhang took advantage of this time to sit alone at the window and enjoy the time alone, now there is no sun, but the temperature in Chang'an Lane is not low, more than 20 degrees below zero outside, and there can be a zero degree inside the box, although it is still a little cold, but this thing can be regarded as something to Brother Zhang.

I got a cup of coffee from the Little Fairy Cafe, opened a book I hadn't read for a long time, and the snow outside turned into water in the treetops, dripping and falling under the eaves, like an early spring rain, washing the whole alley exceptionally clean.

At this moment, Ying Yao has already found Zhang Yao, and the two of them are studying the feasibility of Brother Zhang's plan, while Ah Guo is using the ability of the supercomputer to prepare for simulation.

This simulation is not only about the simulation of the scheme, but also about the mode of the audience.

Zhang Yao leaned there and said to Ying Smash with the plan: "Only the fourth plan of this plan is feasible. ”

"Why?"

"Think about it, what would happen if you only faced the high-level martial arts crowd?"

Ying smashed her eyebrows and raised: "What do you mean?" ”

"It's not interesting, it's that the goals and ways of thinking of people in the high martial arts world are different from most people, and if they are allowed to participate, they will try to make that person die."

"Why? Don't look at me, I really can't figure this out, why can't it? ”

"Because once you reach a certain level, there will be no pity and too many mood swings, and if the chosen person is an ordinary person, then many of his actions are particularly stupid in the eyes of these people, and the biggest meaning of a stupid B is to die. But it's different in the face of ordinary people, have you seen Truman's world? ”

"Yes."

"The director in it is equivalent to those people in the high-martial world, in his eyes, once the target does not act in the right way they think it is, they will be angry, and then they will be punished, or even eliminated. Because of what? Because he sees everything and has no feelings. But why would ordinary people cheer and hug and cry over Truman's escape? Because ordinary people will only be moved by what should be moved, they will not think about how Truman should get a better life than on the screen after doing this, they will just be excited because Truman has done something they can't do. ”

Zhang Yao spread out his hands and said helplessly: "We are not discussing right and wrong here, just talking about emotions, only when ordinary people participate in it can they fully mobilize their emotions." Or let me ask you in another way, Truman's world is a variety show, if you are asked to watch it, can you stick to it for ten or even twenty years? ”

"That's not nonsense, of course not, how boring it is."

"Although this is a fictional story, it can tell everyone that the world needs ordinary people, because only when there are more ordinary people can there be emotional ups and downs." Zhang Yao slapped the piece of paper on the table: "As Brother Zhang's plan, his goal is to find an entertainment activity for the people of the Gaowu World to curb their enthusiasm for activities, but in fact, he has already taken the wrong route in the first few options." ”

"Hmm...... I kind of get it. Ying Smash nodded thoughtfully: "It's you science students, we can't do liberal arts, it's too romantic." ”

"You didn't have a liberal arts or sciences when you dropped out, did you?"

"You!" Ying smashed and pointed at Zhang Yao: "I'm half your father, you hold back and force Lai Lai." ”

"Okay, okay, then you said you understand, where do you understand?"

Ying smashed and smiled: "I just took the romantic route, it's not that I don't understand it completely." What you mean is that southerners find snow fun, while northerners find it more fun for southerners to play in the snow. ”

"Yo, it's you." Zhang Yao smiled: "That's really the case, the people of the Gaowu world are equivalent to northerners, they are used to seeing snow and seeing more tribulations, they prefer to see not snow but southerners who are crazy about playing in the snow, or ordinary people, what we have to do is to make ordinary people crazy, which can not only appease the gods but also increase the enthusiasm of ordinary people." ”

"Is it so powerful?"

"Of course, if this becomes a national event, productivity will increase by at least 10 percent." Zhang Yao patted Ah Guo on the shoulder: "Ah Guo, simulate it to give him a glimpse of what is called the increase in productivity brought about by impulse." ”

At this moment, Ah Guo turned his head and glanced at Zhang Yao: "Sister Yaoyao, is that to set a little restriction, otherwise there will be a lot of restrictive ......"

"Well, of course. Sensitive words and everything must be set up. ”
