Chapter 415: The meaning of choosing a large space
"You can see that our program team has prepared a rich variety of dishes for everyone. If there are contestants who don't know what to cook and want to look at the ingredients and then choose the right dish, you may need to be cautious, because there are so many choices that you can easily be overwhelmed.
Contestants who already have a dish in mind don't have to worry about not being able to find the ingredients. We have a direct search option. Click on the magnifying glass bar above and enter the ingredient name to search. "He Xi said, clicking on the search bar above and began to demonstrate.
"Look here, I type in a green onion, OK, search."
With He Xi's click, the search results came out quickly, and Zhao Xiaojing was once again impressed by Bai Tao's meticulousness.
Just by typing in the word "onion", the search results already include green onions, shallots, shallots, leeks, chives, shallots, scallions, French onions, red onions, yellow onions, spring onions, shallots, and shallots. All the onions that Zhao Xiaojing could remember and those that she couldn't remember were included.
"I'll enter another pork."
He Xi then demonstrated with pork. This time, all parts of the pig were shown, down to the front elbow, back elbow, and the tip of the buttocks and the sitting buttocks.
"This is our search function. You can see that the more detailed your search, the more accurate the results. For example, if you want pork tenderloin, just search for pork tenderloin. If you search for just tenderloin, you might get pork tenderloin, beef tenderloin, and other meats, which would take a long time to find. I won't demonstrate each one here. Now I'll show you how to confirm the quality of the ingredients you've selected. I'll use pork belly as an example... Click on it. Each image has a number corresponding to the same standard meat. Then click the plus sign to select... You can also view details..."
As He Xi clicked on the pork belly interface, several clear photos of the pork belly appeared. Each photo was numbered and annotated. Not only could one see the fat and lean distribution of the pork belly at a glance, but one could even see the slaughter date from the annotations next to the photo. Surprisingly, the pork belly here had been slaughtered just yesterday.
If you click on the number to add to cart below the pork belly, the digital number and options such as 300 grams and 500 grams will appear directly.
Only then did Zhao Xiaojing understand what the staff meant when they were queuing up to go on stage: there was a wide range of choices, and as long as you knew what you were doing, you could choose whatever you wanted.
But isn't this a huge amount of choice? With so many options for a single person, a contestant with even the slightest hesitation might be eliminated.
But with so many ingredients, why not just let the contestants choose them on the spot? Taking photos, developing software, and sorting them all would require a huge amount of manpower. Wouldn't it be easier and more cost-effective to just let the contestants choose directly?
"Fruits and vegetables are fresh, fish and shrimp are jumping, variety shows are hilarious, and the good ingredients are obvious, and the Good Appetite chain fresh food chain welcomes everyone! I believe that the judges, contestants, and the audience in front of the screen have already witnessed the completeness and freshness of the Good Appetite fresh food delivery we just used. At the same time as the program is broadcast, the Good Appetite Fresh Supermarket will also be launching the same fresh food direct delivery as the program! Scan the QR code on the screen to place an order and get the same food as the program! Here, there is nothing that Good Appetite Fresh Supermarket cannot provide, only your imagination! There are also daily discounts, the more you order, the more discounts you get!"
Oh well. I was wondering if something was missing. Turns out it's a familiar ad. No wonder Bai Tao went to so much trouble.
Zhao Xiaojing laughed out loud without any surprise, and the tension that had been building up suddenly relaxed.
"The competition is about to begin. Now, each contestant is invited to choose the stove behind them."
As He Xi turned around and pointed his palm behind him, the lights in the studio changed at the same time. Strong incandescent lights lit up behind the contestants, and the originally dim venue suddenly became bright.
Zhao Xiaojing quickly turned around and was stunned after seeing the venue clearly.
On the way here, I heard the staff introduce that Baitao has several studios, and that the one we are visiting this time is a small hall that can only accommodate 100 people. The lights were not on just now, and I was only focused on listening to the rules and didn't dare to look around. But when I saw it, I immediately became strongly suspicious of the small size of the small hall.
Thirty spacious, elegant workstations, each two and a half meters long, were arranged in a row across the center of the "small" hall behind him. Each was stocked with the same sponsored kitchenware, tools, and seasonings as those provided for the preliminary and promotional rounds, though the variety seemed even more comprehensive. Furthermore, the distance between each workstation was two meters wide. Even with all thirty workstations in place, they only took up a third of the hall.
If this area were used entirely as a kitchen, there would be enough space to hire a hundred employees.
Zhao Xiaojing secretly complained as she hurriedly followed the crowd in choosing a seat. In the end, she chose a position in the corner, a little away from the camera and judges, so as to block out any interference.
"Now, contestants, please put on your aprons and pick up the tablets on the table in front of you. After I count down three times, you can open your tablets and place your orders. A two-minute countdown will begin on the big screen. Please complete your orders and submit them within the allotted time. Please note, once the timer expires, the ordering system will become inoperative. Three, two, one!"
Zhao Xiaojing quickly opened her tablet and, without looking at the dazzling array of dishes, directly typed "pork liver" into the search bar that He Xi had just pointed to.
Not bad. Among the pork liver options, there is pink liver which is the most suitable for stir-fried pork liver. The color looks good in the photo and the date is today.
There was no need for the backup plan. Zhao Xiaojing breathed a sigh of relief and placed an order for all the ingredients she had already thought of.
Green onions, ginger, garlic, pickled chili peppers, green and red chili peppers, and beer.
The cornstarch and seasonings are already on the table, so there's no need to order them. Zhao Xiaojing went over the process of stir-frying pork liver in her mind again, and after confirming that she hadn't missed any ingredients, she quickly clicked submit.
There was still more than a minute left. Zhao Xiaojing was about to look up to observe the other contestants when she saw the cameras everywhere and the judges' sharp eyes scrutinizing the entire audience. She immediately lowered her head and continued to study the Good Appetite Fresh Food ordering system, which would be the future delivery system, in a low-key manner.
After ordering the dishes, the system returned to the menu interface. Apparently, if you didn't finish ordering the first time, you can continue to add to the purchase and resubmit. Zhao Xiaojing flipped through it casually out of curiosity, and then she found that when she scrolled to the end of the page, there was a live broadcast function and a group purchase function was waiting to be launched.
Moreover, there are categories that are not used in individual competitions, such as seasoning categories, and when you click on them, you can see quite complete real shots.
It seems that this system is not a special version for the program, but is prepared for full launch in the future. It just happens to be connected with the program for promotion.
