After saying that, their smiles widened, as if victory was already beckoning to them.
"Hehehe, this is in the bag."
...
Time flies.
It's past 10 p.m. again.
Stall number 88.
As the crowd gradually dispersed, the second day of the Kyoto Food Festival came to an end.
Business is great today, even better than yesterday.
Most importantly, Lu Rong's fish maw, shredded chicken, and shark fin soup also sells well.
From start to finish, more than 300 copies were sold.
This alone brought in six or seven hundred thousand.
With the addition of the spicy and sour chicken feet, the total revenue has exceeded 1.9 million.
We're about to reach the 2 million mark.
I estimate that this record will be broken tomorrow.
At this speed, there's no way booth number 6 can beat them.
Moreover, many of his fish maw, shredded chicken, and shark fin soup customers were snatched away from Yuan Hua.
The better he sells here, the worse his business is over there.
Just like yesterday, it was past ten o'clock.
Lu Rong's phone then received a message from the official food festival organizers.
Without a doubt, it is today's sales ranking.
Seeing this, everyone crowded forward, eager to see the final result.
Lu Rong clicked on the link and took a look.
The above shows:
[Rank 1, Lu Rong, Stall No. 88, Dishes: Fish Maw, Shredded Chicken and Shark Fin Soup, Crispy Spicy Chicken Feet, Today's Sales: [amount missing], Total Sales: [amount missing]]
[2nd Place, Gan Yimu, Stall No. 19, Dish: Grilled Squid with Unfinished Delight, Today's Sales: [amount], Total Sales: [amount]]
[3rd Place, Yuan Hua, Stall No. 6, Dishes: Braised Sea Cucumber with Layers, Abalone with Chicken Broth, Today's Sales: [amount missing], Total Sales: [amount missing]]
.........
[Ranked 234th, Mei Jibo, Stall No. 157, Dish: Duck Shit Lemon Tea, Today's Sales: 1006 yuan, Total Sales: 1829 yuan.]
[Ranked 235th, Shen Jihui, Stall No. 202, Dish: Stinky Tofu, Today's Sales: 547 yuan, Total Sales: 1210 yuan.]
[236th place, Xie Wei, stall number 87, dish: Black pepper and wine-flavored grilled beef steak. Due to malicious price competition resulting in customer complaints, he has been disqualified from the competition, and his sales revenue has been forfeited.]
The rankings show that the amounts at the top are very large.
Those who came after that were rather pitiful.
It's truly a case of some suffering from drought while others are drowning in floods.
Seeing that it ranked first, no one was very surprised.
But what everyone couldn't understand was why Yuan Hua's turnover was so much lower today.
"How could Yuan Hua's sales figures be so low?" He was in first place yesterday, but now he's in third.
Even if Lu Rong has taken away a lot of their customers, they shouldn't have fallen to this state.
"I suspect something must have happened at stall number 6, otherwise it wouldn't be this badly empty," Lu Rong speculated.
As the saying goes, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. No matter how bad Yuan Hua was, he never thought he would fall so low as to end up like this.
Meanwhile, Gan Yimu, who was in third place yesterday, has become second place and is continuing to catch up.
"I just saw Ruowei say that Yuan Hua seemed to have gone back halfway through, and then the whole stall at number 6 was in chaos," Su Tingyun said slowly, looking at the message on her phone.
"Haha, that really suits her style." Xu Fei couldn't help but laugh after hearing this.
Not only Xu Fei, but everyone else couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Actually, everyone had already figured it out: Yuan Hua was just here to have fun and wasn't taking the competition seriously at all.
He doesn't look like someone who's short of money; he's probably just here to cook out of boredom.
So when they encounter unhappiness or other reasons, they will go on strike.
This outcome is not at all surprising.
In that case, it makes sense that their turnover is so much lower.
Of course, Yuan Hua's departure was nothing to Lu Rong; on the contrary, it meant one less strong competitor, which was entirely beneficial to him.
"Haha, then our food festival is a sure thing!" Zhang Weiguo said happily.
He was overjoyed with this result.
Their booth number 88 is now far ahead in sales, which clearly means they've already secured the championship.
Having eaten too much, Ma Jiang touched his belly, which looked like he was eight and a half months pregnant, squinted his eyes, and said with satisfaction, "It seems like things are settled now."
Everyone said this was a huge boon.
Afterwards, everyone happily boarded a bus and returned to Kyoto University.
After getting off the bus, everyone dispersed and went home.
Just as Principal Zhang Weiguo was about to walk back to his car, he found two people waiting for him next to his car.
He narrowed his eyes and realized that something seemed amiss.
Zhang Weiguo kept quiet, wanting to see what these people were up to.
The two men did not show any displeasure when they saw Zhang Weiguo approaching.
Instead, she looked at him with a smile and nodded repeatedly in greeting.
"Good evening, Principal Zhang. We'd like to discuss something with you. If it's alright, would you please come with us?"
Upon receiving the invitations from the two men, Zhang Weiguo knew he was being targeted.
They're up to some kind of conspiracy.
He was not afraid of this situation.
Anyway, I have neither money nor sex appeal.
Who would have any ill intentions towards him?
