After entering Ron Village, what caught my eye was the alternating pattern of various new and old houses, and some of them had been demolished and were being renovated.
The most eye-catching thing is undoubtedly a huge gymnasium not far away. Even across the street, you can see many people gathering at the gate there.
With the mentality of exploring the storyline, Yi Liuling also came over and saw many staff members in uniform distributing leaflets.
It is said to be a uniform, but it is actually just an ordinary suit, but the strange thing is that each of them has an extra apron. Judging from the style of the apron, it is the same as the two housewives before, but there is no oil on it and the texture does not seem to be from shark silk.
"Hey hey, don't miss it when you pass by," Seeing Yi Liuling looking around, a staff member immediately came and welcomed him enthusiastically and stuffed a flyer into his hand, "Come on, learn about it."
Yi Liuling looked down and saw that the flyer was about the promotion of the cooking competition. The design style was very similar to that in the elevator, and it was probably made by the same designer. But surprisingly, the time of the two activities was completely coincidental.
Why did Skoga come to this place to hold a performance at this time? Generally speaking, if a bard wants to start a tour, he deliberately chooses time points that will not conflict with other activities, so as not to affect his or other people's ticket sales.
If Skoga is in sync with the Cooking Conference this time, he will give up audiences in a certain circle, because no matter how famous he is, he will never compete with a Cooking Conference, which is almost top-notch in a specific field.
"The ticket only costs twenty gold coins, you can't buy it and suffer losses, and you can't buy it." The staff member saw Yi Liuling thinking, thinking he was interested, and immediately continued.
"What? Twenty gold coins?" Yi Liuling was shocked, "Is this too expensive?"
After Yi Liuling came to the Eighth World, there were not many places where he needed money. Many of the expenses were reimbursed by the school. Although there were additional expenses, Shengcao Society was a place where the God of Wealth Kunyi and the Shoucao Soushi Feihui painted, so he did not need to worry about money at all.
However, he still has a certain concept of the currency in this world.
For other students at Soga High School, they can’t even buy a decent good equipment with twenty gold coins, but that’s because it involves the level of prop trading, so they spend a lot of money in the auction hall.
Alchemy potions are very expensive, but they do not mean that steamed buns are also very expensive.
For daily necessities that meet people's daily needs, money is still very valuable. In addition to guys like Kunyi who use gold coins to smash people, people are more exposed to silver coins in their daily lives, and even ordinary people only carry a handful of copper when they go out.
For example, Lu Xiang was unable to pay back the amount of more than 100 gold coins he owed Feihui. It can be seen that according to the normal way of making money, twenty gold coins would not be a small amount.
Competitions like the Cooking Conference should be more down-to-earth, and the ticket price is not so expensive. You should know that even the performances of famous bards like Skoga only cost one silver coin to one gold coin from ordinary seats to VIP seats.
"Hey, you don't understand this, right? You get what you pay for." At this time, the staff member laughed and pointed to the flyer in his hand. "This is not simply watching a performance. In the competition, you will draw from these seat numbers and have the chance to get the mermaid beads."
So that's it. Yi Liuling understood that it was not expensive to watch the cooking ceremony, but the tickets sold here also had a lottery mechanism. If you can draw a mermaid pearl, even if there is only one, it would be more than just a return, and it would be a big profit.
"Wait, then why do you attach this thing to the ticket?" Yi Liuling was a little puzzled, "Isn't it better for you to sell the bonus tickets directly? If it is not sold out, wouldn't it be a waste of the seat that could have made money?"
"Oh, because the distribution rights of this mermaid bead belong to the judges," the staff member was honest and said directly, "He did not agree to randomly draw the tears left by his true feelings. Instead, he wanted to reward those who truly love food, so it was limited to the audience. Moreover, lucky audiences had to answer questions before they could receive the award, so that no one would take advantage of the situation for the beads."
"So that's it." Yi Liuling understood. It seemed that the mermaid foodie was still very principled, but it seemed that this cooking conference was indeed a bit interesting. Should he find a way to get in and have a look?
Thinking of this, he touched his pocket and suddenly remembered that this place was a illusion of the past. The only set of equipment he brought in was Qi Lala and Yu Sheng, and he had no money at all.
The staff obviously had a wide range of knowledge. He could see Yi Liuling was short of money at first sight. After thinking about it, he looked around again, and then lowered his voice and said, "I see that the canvas behind you should be the descendant of the people who went out back then. Then we are half a fellow villager. Twenty gold coins are indeed not cheap, and you are still a child. Forget it, if you really want to see it, I can show you a way."
"Oh?" Yi Liuling suddenly felt energetic and showed a look of gratitude on her face, "thank you, thank you."
"It's all my own people," the staff patted Yi Liuling's shoulder and said generously, "You're here tonight, and someone will issue a ticket here."
There are scalpers in this kind of place? Yi Liuling looked at him in surprise, but isn’t this kind of secret transaction more expensive?
"You think too much, they are qualified to transfer." The staff pointed to the venue, "If you have been in, you will know that the smoke there is choking to death, and it will be even more terrifying after the official start of the competition. It can be said that people who are not really fond of cooking can't sit for a second, but some people want marmoset pearls."
Because of the persistence of the Mermaid Gourmet, those who are qualified to draw Mermaid Pearls must be viewers who have watched the competition carefully, but there are those who can afford twenty gold coins to gamble Mermaid Pearls, but not everyone is willing to suffer in it.
Therefore, they will hand over the qualification to watch the game to people who really want to watch the game but can't afford to pay for it, but if they hit the mermaid pearl, they will naturally have nothing to do with these people, and they are just free to watch.
Of course, although it is free to watch, if this person is distracted and causes him to draw the mermaid pearl but fail to answer the question, he will be terrible revenge after he comes out, so the people who come in to watch the game must be fully focused.
It can be said that the ultimate result of the request made by the mermaid gourmet was that the audience was filled with audiences who truly loved cooking and had certain attainments in this regard, which was also considered an unexpected gain.
