Qin Tao said, “Shooter, don’t sell yourself short! Speak directly, what are the rules for this issue.”
Sun Hip said, “The lowest card on this bamboo pole is one metre six, each card is raised twenty centimetres, and the highest is three metres four. Three of you will be selected for the height-touching challenge, pick the height you want to touch in advance, and then you’ll have three chances to get the item if you touch it.”
The screen is focussed on the bamboo pole and the cards on it, with the heights marked in subtitles at a later stage:
One metre six of pure water, one metre eight of mackintosh, two metres of water boots, two metres two of hotpot base, two metres four of sesame oil, two metres six of slingshot, two metres eight of binoculars, three metres of tape measure, three metres two of electric light, three metres four of mason’s tools.
Qin Tao: “Are you kidding? What is the concept of three metres and four you do not have a point in your heart? The basket is only three metres and five.”
Sun Hip shrugged his shoulders, “That’s the rule. I’ll give you a few minutes to discuss who to send out to play.”
Now that the programme team had learnt to be shrewd, they did not allow each of them to participate and each person could only choose one, so that they could limit the number of items they could obtain, otherwise, if each person came with a few, what would happen?
Pop-up:
“Three metres and four? Seriously?”
“The showrunner did it on purpose.”
“Still not used to the programme crew making it more difficult on purpose.”
“This show is not easy at all.”
“It’s a bit tiring to watch.”
“Isn’t it good to be seriously funny?”
Overseas netizens commented enthusiastically:
“I think Iain Pella needs to have NBA-level bouncing to get his hands on the mason’s tools.”
“Maybe Lee will build a castle, or wall, out of stone.”
“Our guesses must be wrong, Lee is an eastern thinker, far beyond our imagination.”
“Hey guys, it’s too soon for you to be discussing this; at less than six feet, it’s almost impossible for Lee to get the tallest item.”
Yi Xing asked Li Tie Zhu, “Can you dunk?”
Li Tiezhu: “I can, but I can’t jump that high either, height is the shortcoming.”
Yi Xing: “How tall are you?”
Li Tiezhu: “Barefoot 181.”
Yi Xing: “That’s pretty good too, surprisingly you can dunk.”
Qin Tao came with a mang: “Brother Star aren’t you 178 on your wikipedia?”
Yi Xing laughed awkwardly, “That’s my height in shoes.”
Huang Sanshi said, “This thing, Teacher Huang and I can’t come, and neither can Little Fatty, right? Just Tie Zhu, Yan Zi and Yi Xing go.”
Qin Tao: “Who are you looking down on? You guys go.”
The three people stood in a row, and Zheng Yan Zi, who was officially 180 tall, was half a head taller than Yi Xing, and her legs were longer than Li Tie Zhu.
Zheng Yan Zi: “Xiong Da, pick three items.”
Li Tiezhu: “Hot pot base, tape measure and masonry tools.”
Yi Xing said, “The tallest one goes to Tie Zhu. I’m a boy, so I’ll take the tallest one, the tape measure? Three metres, wow, it’s difficult!”
Zheng Yan Zi said, “Brother, don’t pretend! You’ll take the two metre two one for the hot pot base, and leave the three metre one to me.”
Yi Xing: “I can touch the rim!”
Zheng Yan Zi: “The rebound is only two metres nine high, and, it’s a mud floor, soft.”
“Is it?”
“Why don’t you try it.”
Try, try, Yi Xing really couldn’t touch three metres, and after trying several times, his feet became a little soft, and his expression gradually became embarrassed.
Zheng Yan Zi was an unintelligent person and said, “Look! I’ll say it, you can’t do it, let me do it.”
Assisted running, jumping, spreading arms.
Snap!
Jung Yeonji’s wheat-coloured palm slapped solidly on the card. She couldn’t complete a dunk, but grabbing the basket was easy, and as a tennis player, her leg strength was very sufficient.
Yi Xing felt his face hurt.
Teacher He came out to round up the situation, saying, ”Yi Xing take the hot pot base, it’s super useful! Besides, Yan Zi is taller than you and a professional athlete, let her show off her bouncing!”
In other words, you’re a dancer, so don’t compete with an athlete.
Yi Xing obediently picked the two-metre-two hot pot base, stood on her tiptoes and reached out her hand to touch it, she didn’t even need to jump.
Next, Zheng Yanzi touched the three metre tape measure.
Finally, it was Li Tiezhu’s turn, the first chance, Li Tiezhu jumped up with a running start, his fingertips were still about ten centimetres high from the card, which was his limit.
Huang Sanshi: “This is too difficult, a height of one metre eight, touching three metres four, how high does the vertical bounce have to be?”
He Ling: “It’s estimated to be close to one metre.”
Huang Sanshi walked out, pulled Li Tiezhu to the bamboo pole, let him stand and struggle to touch the height, can touch close to two metres six, he said, “More than eighty almost ninety centimetres of vertical bounce to be able to do. He this has been almost eighty centimetres, this bounce has been very good!”
He Ling said, “Tiezhu, let’s forget about it! It’s good to make some bamboo and wood tools.”
Huang Sanshi asked, “Director! Can we change the options? You’re being a bit forceful.”
Sun Hip Hop: “No!”
Huang San Shi said, “Not even giving me face? Turn around and I’ll make you flunk!”
Sun Hip-Hip revealed a smug smile, because, he and Wang Xiaokai several very well understand where Li Tiezhu’s bouncing limit is.
He asked, “Li Tiezhu, do you want to give up?”
Li Tiezhu said, “Does touching it with your feet count?”
Sun Hee-Hei froze and scoffed, “It counts even if you touch it with your bum! This is your supreme challenge, and we know you touch less than three metres three.”
Li Tiezhu: “If you can’t touch it with your arse, you still have a chance with your feet.”
Yi Xing said blankly, “How can I touch with my feet?”
He Ling: “I know! Tony’s really great trick, flying kicks! I seem to remember that he can kick a three and a half metre basketball, Tie Zhu, can you do it?”
Li Tiezhu took off his shoes and said, “He kicked the middle of the ball, so the height should be three metres six. Moreover, he is ten centimetres shorter than me, I think I can try!”
In fact, usually Li Tiezhu was also practising Muay Thai, mainly because he was beaten badly by Fan Xiao Huang and held his breath. Flying kicks he also practiced, just didn’t measure how high he could kick, but visually it was a little higher than the hand touch height.
Zheng Yan Zi: “Go Xiong Da!”
Li Tiezhu took a deep breath, ran, jumped, flipped over and flew kicked, head down leg up.
Whew……
Li Tiezhu’s toes almost grazed the card.
“Ah ……”
There was a regretful exclamation from the crowd.
“Again! Xiong Da your legs aren’t straight, you’re trying too hard to power up, what are you powering up for? Just touch it!”
“Good!”
Once again, Li Tiezhu threw his body into the air and flipped over and kicked.
Snap!
The kick hit!
“Whoa!”
“Too strong?”
“Awesome! Tie Zhu is awesome.”
“Let’s do kung fu films in the future, it’s sure to be a big hit!”
“S Guo Yi le ……”
Everyone applauded and congratulated, Li Tiezhu not only got the most wanted stonemason tools, the main thing is that he has this ability, let everyone understand that he has no problem at all to make action films.
Sun Hee-Hee was dumbfounded, this guy still has this trick? Miscalculated, miscalculated!
For this sponsorship session, you get a de loaded hot pot base, a tape measure provided by the sinning gang, and a set of stonemason tools provided by Must Kneel Garden.
These sponsors, each session is different. Anyway, it’s harder to spend more money.
On the other side of the planet, Odin jumped up, swung his fist hard, and screamed, “Master Death! Master Death! Well done, Lee! I’m definitely going to learn that move of yours and jump high enough to kick the zombie’s head off the ceiling! That would be so cool! It’s hard to imagine that Aien Pella has such great kung fu that she doesn’t choose to hunt, but build instead, that’s wisdom!”
Excited, Odin poured himself a small glass of Five Grain Liquid and took a small sip, his face reddening.
“Kang mother anon north nose! Hurry up and show me the art of brewing, and by that I mean spirits like ‘a mixture of five grains’, but of course, ‘the head of two iron pots’ would be good too. I’ll learn it for sure! How uninteresting it would be if Doomsday had no such liquor! I’ve heard that the Orientals have a habit of taking poisonous insects and making wine, even aliens in one film, so if zombies ……”
In the programme, Li Tiezhu put back on his yellow rubber shoes and said, “What are you waiting for? Go on the prize!”
Sun Hip only came back to God, helplessly beckoned, and the staff brought the prizes, as always …… not the same as imagined.
Hot pot base: butter, three kinds of chillies, two kinds of peppercorns, edamame beans, mash, fermented bean curd, various spices, etc., in a vacuumed plastic bag.
Tape Measure: a proper tape measure, but it doesn’t have a proper scale on it, it’s hand-drawn, and the unit of length is pure numbers.
Stonemason’s tools: a small burin, a hand hammer, a severely castrated version.
Huang San Shi and He Ling laughed miserably, this programme group is really not human, much more ruthless than Mushroom House!
Yi Xing couldn’t help but fight back, ”You guys aren’t doing it right! The hot pot base is fine, you can fry it yourself. What do you mean by a tape measure? Can I use the one I drew myself?”
Sun Hip-Hip: “Although it’s drawn by myself, the accuracy between each scale is at 99%, not much of an error.”
This is still called a small error?
Li Tiezhu sighed: “I won’t talk about anything else, but your masonry tools are too serious, right? Where are the sledgehammers and hammers? Where is the steel wedge?”
Sun Hip Hip justified: “There are hammers is good, we write the stonemason tools, and did not write a set of stonemason tools!”
Yi Xing: “But the picture ……”
Li Tiezhu and Zheng Yanzi said in unison, “The picture is for reference only! KAM!”
The director’s team withdraws.
Li Tiezhu silently collected the hard-won items, something is better than nothing!
Zheng Yanzi opened the two cans of orange brought by He Ling as an after dinner dessert, mainly because they need these two glass bottles. This can is not small, it is a 1 litre capacity, not too high, it can hold two bottles of mineral water.
Everyone ate the canned oranges, Li Tiezhu began to set up the task:
“In the afternoon, I, Yan Zi and the donkey will go to the mountain to dig fern roots, Qin Tao will take Yi Xing to get crayfish in the river bay below, brother, the crayfish are not afraid, right?”
Yi Xing nodded: “Crayfish is fine.”
He Ling: “What about me and Teacher Huang? Although we are old people, we can still do what we can.”
Huang Sanshi: “Like sleeping or something.”
How could Li Tiezhu let them both go? Said: “Pounding sweet potatoes and grinding sweet potatoes, and when we bring back fern roots, pounding fern roots and grinding fern roots. I made a lot of bucket hats to protect from the sun, you guys remember to bring them. By the way, when the waterwheel is grinding things, you guys can bring your fishing rods and go fishing, it will be a bit more fulfilling.”
Huang San Shi: “Fulfilling my arse! It’s clearly squeezing the surplus labour!”
He Ling: “Yeah, thanks to us being so nice to him in the mushroom house ……”
Huang San Shi: “Good …… good?”
He Ling: “Hi! That’s all I’m saying.”
