The organizer's backstage area.

A room filled with monitors.

Each monitor displays real-time information about every corner of the food festival venue.

It can be described as having no blind spots from every angle.

With his hands behind his back, Wu Zhengchuan, a man with a gray beard, was carefully observing the order of the people in the venue through the large screen.

When organizing such a large event, the safety of all personnel at the venue must be the primary consideration.

"There seem to be more people coming this year than in previous years," he chuckled.

He single-handedly organized the Kyoto Food Festival. In the beginning, it was just a small street food festival with only a dozen or so stalls.

Only people within a kilometer or two of the surrounding area knew about it.

Over the years, his reputation has grown steadily.

With the food at the festival being quite delicious, more and more people began to spontaneously promote it.

After more than a decade of continuous progress, optimization, and upgrading.

His food festivals have gradually risen to a level that can represent the entire city of Kyoto.

It was personally named the Kyoto Food Festival by the mayor of Kyoto.

The Kyoto Food Festival has now become an important annual event for Kyoto.

With so many years of experience, we have fully considered all aspects of our customers, from the taste to the venue design.

Many people who come to the Kyoto Food Festival feel that it was worth the trip.

Highly recommended.

Before we knew it, it had become a must-visit destination for many tourists.

Last year, the Kyoto Food Festival attracted more than 4 million visitors over its seven-day duration.

This greatly boosted the GDP of the entire Kyoto city.

Of course, it also provided everyone present with a pleasant and delicious new experience.

Every year at this time, not only people from all over Kyoto, but also countless customers from all over the country flock in.

This year, the number of staff members of the organizers alone exceeded 1,500.

More than 800 people were also on duty to maintain security.

Fortunately, due to the reasonable setup of the venue and the proper coordination of personnel, although the number of people who came today exceeded expectations, there was still no chaos.

"Let's take another look at the situation at each stall," he suddenly thought.

Besides the safety of the staff, his second concern was the sales situation at the stall.

This is related to whether the customers who come here enjoy their meal.

Since the food festival has officially started, more than 200 stalls have already begun selling their wares.

Most of the businesses seemed to be doing well, and the contestants were all smiles, doing their best to create as much delicious food as possible.

The more you sell, the more you earn.

Especially around stall number 87, there was a huge crowd of people.

Everyone was scrambling to buy, but thankfully there were security personnel maintaining order, which barely prevented chaos.

The sheer scale of this business is truly astounding.

"This is the booth where last year's champion, Xie Wei, is located," the male assistant reminded Wu Zhengchuan, noticing that he was paying attention to the area.

Wu Zhengchuan nodded: "I know. It seems he upgraded the steaks compared to last year, and now business is even better."

“From what I just learned, he seems to be very good at using last year’s fame to promote himself, and the price of steak has increased quite a bit this year, from over 80 last year to 129 now,” the male assistant said while looking at the message on his phone screen.

In other words, the price of Xie Wei Steak has increased by almost 50% compared to last year.

However, even with such a significant price increase, it couldn't dampen the enthusiasm of customers, who were all scrambling to buy.

"It seems this guy has really prepared a lot for this year's competition. The fact that it's selling so well at this price means the taste is absolutely top-notch," Wu Zhengchuan remarked, looking at the well-organized division of labor among the people at Xie Wei's stall.

Having worked in the culinary world for so many years, he can roughly guess how delicious food is just by looking at people's reactions, even without tasting it.

If someone says a dish is delicious, it doesn't necessarily mean it's really delicious; it could just be a matter of personal taste.

But if thousands of people think this dish is delicious, then it really is delicious.

A chef doesn't need to satisfy 100% of people with the taste of their dishes, but they should at least satisfy 95% or more.

Xie Wei is currently among those who find his steak delicious, so there's no doubt that his steak will taste good.

Although he doesn't seem to be well-liked in terms of interpersonal relationships, he does have a lot of talent in cooking.

Speaking of Xie Wei, he then thought of another person.

That's Lu Rong, who dared to publicly criticize Xie Wei at the opening ceremony.

From the moment he first met Lu Rong at the opening ceremony, he found that Lu Rong gave him a very special feeling, one he had never experienced before.

He remembered that Lu Rong was from the food team of Kyoto University, and that her stall was right next to Xie Wei's.

Thinking of this, Wu Zhengchuan quickly looked at the screen and searched for Lu Rong's stall.

Since the two stalls are connected, the monitor screens are also connected, so you can easily find them by looking to the side.

However, the moment he saw stall number 88, he wondered if he was seeing things.

The screen showed that booth number 88 was not selling anything.

People were queuing up around the stall, waiting for Xie Wei's steak.

"How could this be? They haven't even sold them yet." Wu Zhengchuan hadn't expected this outcome.
