Baker (2)
Everyone's scores were quickly calculated by the NPC.
First, here are the first version of the statistical results. The highest-rated cake is the mango cake, which is suitable for all ages. The second highest-rated cake is the chili crisp cake, which has polarized personal reviews. The third highest-rated cake is the meat-filled cake.
The lowest-rated cake was the vanilla cake, which was so overpoweringly vanilla-flavored that it was even a bit burnt on the outside and raw on the inside.
A group of potential bakers emerged from the doorway, and A Pu greeted his sister with concern. Aunt Yuan glanced around, and thanks to her sharp eyes, she finally spotted Li Ru and the others on the periphery.
She didn't have time to ask why there were several security team members around, and hurried over.
Li Ru went up to him cheerfully: "What's the result?"
As long as the mother-in-law chose the baker, it was a violation, and it didn't matter if she received a little punishment. Of course, at this moment, she completely forgot that there were also a few friends who violated the rules by "giving favors".
"Oh, what a pity! Last one." Aunt Yuan sighed, successfully making Li Ru's eyes widen.
Last place? How could it be possible! There were only about a hundred people participating in the evaluation, and ten of them gave the highest scores. How could it be possible that he was last?
Li Ru suddenly felt a surge of disbelief. She asked, feeling betrayed, "You used the most expensive material?"
Aunt Yuan was a little stunned when asked this, and nodded affirmatively: "Of course." Not only did she use the most expensive materials, she also added a lot of them, almost emptying the inventory.
Expensive things are the best. Aunt Yuan thought that by making the most expensive and rare thing, it would definitely be selected, but she didn't expect to be the last one.
No matter how you think about it, it shouldn't be like that.
Only then did she realize that the people behind Li Ru had complicated and cold expressions, and their eyes were looking at her and the other two as if they were filled with ice...
Aunt Yuan whispered to Li Ru, "Didn't you ask them to help you vote?"
"Yes!" Li Ru said bitterly, "I even gave you a red envelope! Except for your full score, the others are all zeros!"
How could that be? Aunt Yuan was even more puzzled. Could it be that... an absurd guess emerged in her mind. Could it be that these seemingly friendly relatives and friends, who were jealous of her success, deliberately gave her a zero score?
Until cheers were heard not far away.
"Rita, I thought you made the mango cake! You studied Western desserts, how could you make such a Chinese-style chili crisp cake!"
"Yeah! You probably don't know about chili crisps!"
Everyone was silent, waiting for Rita's reply.
"My younger sister's new friend said the best sweet snack in the world is chili crisps. Before this, I didn't know about this magical dessert that can actually use the spiciest food to create the sweetest taste."
“I was given this opportunity to get into the kitchen, and I was willing to use it to give it a try.”
"It's actually the first attempt! What a pity that I'm not first." Someone sighed.
"Mango cake is delicious too! I love mango the most!"
"After all, the chili crisps are too delicious, just like the snail rice noodle, not everyone can accept the taste."
Listening to everyone's chatter, Rita didn't feel any regret for missing out on first place. She was already satisfied with everyone's recognition. Instead, her focus shifted to another topic: "What is snail rice noodle?"
Someone immediately explained it to her...
While things were going on in full swing here, Li Ru looked like she had eaten dog shit, and her face instantly turned blue and red - it turned out that she had violated the rules by asking everyone to vote, and she had actually made things easier for others.
"What kind of cake did you make!" Li Ru asked viciously.
"Vanilla cake!" Aunt Yuan exclaimed. "Vanilla is so expensive! Just a hundred grams, and it costs two hundred points! My cake must be at least a hundred points each!"
Zhang Jiajia, who lived not far away, originally came with the mentality of a "resentful woman who had fallen out of favor" to see how powerful the "new concubine" was.
Chad heard what Aunt Yuan said.
Zhang Jiajia: “…” Silently mourning for Aunt Yuan.
Vanilla pods, also known as vanilla, are the most expensive spice in the world, and every gram is hard-earned. Everyone in the territory is well-off, so who would spend so much money on a vanilla cake? Besides... Zhang Jiajia is well aware of Ye Miaomiao's stinginess.
So, let alone using it more often, he wouldn't use it unless it was absolutely necessary. Look, Zhang Jia's family only makes strawberry cakes.
My jealousy suddenly vanished. Furthermore, I thought the chili crisps made by Rita's professional pastry chef were really good, so I smiled and squeezed into the crowd around Rita.
"The most expensive!" Li Ru blushed. "Isn't chili pepper the most expensive?! Do you have eyes? Do you have a brain? You! We all voted for the chili crisp cake!"
"What!"
Aunt Yuan opened her mouth so wide that her voice almost broke.
Assuming all these people voted for chili cake, according to Li Ru, wouldn't her vanilla cake be...
All of them scored zero points!
No wonder she was last, now everything was explained.
Aunt Yuan glared at her daughter-in-law with her bull-eye eyes, panting heavily, and looked at her incredulously. What an idiot! She can't even tell the difference between expensive and cheap!
Chili peppers only have a few points, how expensive can they be!
She shouldn't have agreed to let her enter her home in the first place. Now, this unlucky guy has ruined all the good things for her family!
In fact, this is not Li Ru's fault. The price of chili peppers on the market has indeed risen to a sky-high level, but when Ye Miaomiao bought it, the news of the next disaster had not yet spread, so the purchase price was low.
Li Ru had never thought of so much, and Aunt Yuan had even less idea. She only felt that her original feeling of regret had now turned into anger.
She could have won!
"I'll beat you to death, you bitch!" She raised her hand high in anger and slapped Li Ru hard on the head.
There was a loud "bang" and Li Ru staggered and almost fell to the ground. Her originally neat hair was disheveled, and under her hair was her red and shocked face.
"You...you! You dare to hit me!" In an instant, the grievance and anger of not being understood surged into Li Ru's heart, and her hot and painful cheeks were like a brand of shame.
The elders and family members all instantly became ferocious enemies. "My mother doesn't even hit me!" Li Ru screamed, ready to hit back like a madman.
The incident happened suddenly, and the security team members only reacted at this time. Two people grabbed Aunt Yuan, and two people grabbed the frantic Li Ru.
"Second violation!" the team member said coldly.
The few friends and family who had come to help hurriedly pushed the situation a few steps forward, huddled together, and shook their heads: "None of our business! We didn't say or do anything!"
At this moment they were really angry. Originally, Aunt Yuan was just a little unreasonable, and the families could still interact with each other, thinking that they were all relatives and friends doing a favor.
I didn't expect to have an even more unreasonable daughter-in-law. This plus one will definitely tear down the house! I have to stay away from their family from now on!
"Illegal voting has been verified." At this time, the team member who had just gone to question Ye Miaomiao came back.
He pointed at Sister Zhang, the only one in the crowd who hadn't received a red envelope. "Except for you and your son, everyone else's votes will be invalidated. You'll be fined and given one violation. Remember, three violations will put you on the territory's blacklist!"
"You two..." He turned to look at Li Ru and Aunt Yuan, who were about to fight: "Fine double the amount and record it as a second violation."
"Me!" Aunt Yuan finally realized why there were so many security guards here! It turned out that the voting was illegal! She didn't look at her friends and family in the eye and hurriedly explained.
"I don't know what this person did! I have nothing to do with these people!"
"Intentional damage to territory property and fighting." The team member explained expressionlessly, "The lord specifically asked the chef and baker, and you used twelve times the required amount of vanilla."
A burst of laughter came from the crowd of onlookers.
This made the stubborn Aunt Yuan feel strangely angry. She really didn't believe it!
"Should we recalculate the scores?" She had been maliciously given zeros, and after removing those zeros, she said, "I'm definitely not last! Just wait and see! This bitch ruined everything!"
Unable to fight back, Li Ru's hands were handcuffed behind her back, her hair tangled in front of her face. Through her hair, she looked at Aunt Yuan with cold eyes.
"The final statistical results are out." The NPC calculated very quickly. A team member looked at the results on the light screen and raised an eyebrow in surprise.
“Same as before.”
"Hahahahaha!" Li Ru's crazy and loud laughter came from the crowd. Her hair was shaking like a sieve, and she said incoherently, "You...you are still the last one!"
Aunt Yuan sitting opposite her was stunned.
The sharp and piercing laughter made her realize that it didn't matter whether Li Ru scored zero points or not, as she was the last one anyway, and it would be over.
But this nameless anger grew from this laughter, and Aunt Yuan wanted to tear Li Ru's mouth apart!
"You! Go to hell!" she yelled, struggling to slap Li Ru twice.
Unfortunately, the team member grabbed her arm fiercely, preventing her from making such a fuss: "You'll be punished for making trouble again!"
Li Ru ignored him, her laughter growing louder. "You...you..." she couldn't even articulate clearly. Aunt Yuan glared at her fiercely until Li Ru's laughter finally died down.
She raised her eyes to look at her mother-in-law. Amidst the crowd of onlookers, the two of them stared at each other fiercely like enemies.
However, any hatred or grudge between the two has nothing to do with others. Behind closed doors, it is their own business. Others just think that it gives them more gossip to talk about during their leisure time after dinner.
Ye Miaomiao didn't even have the heart to gossip. Her whole body, including her heart and lungs, was aching for the loss of vanilla - that was real money!
Thinking that the vanilla in the warehouse was almost sold out, Ye Miaomiao almost regretted holding the bakery chef interview.
However, the gains from this interview were huge.
The three cake chefs who were finally hired include a professional Western pastry chef, Master Wang who has been making Chinese pastries for many years, and the innovative Rita!
Ye Miaomiao gave them positions at the cake shop and encouraged them to continue to innovate, especially Rita. Innovation can lead to new recipes, whether it's cold protection or increasing strength, as long as there is a new effect, it is a good innovation!
Just... don't intentionally waste twelve times the amount of vanilla as in the original recipe.
Zhang Jiajia nodded on the side. In the past, he only made recipes that he was familiar with. Although he knew many recipes, the ones that could produce good results were limited.
Now that the boss has said so, he should really try some new things.
Rita's eyes beside her were shining even more.
Seeing that noon was approaching, several people had to go back to the kitchen and cake shop to prepare lunch. Hu Mifeng stayed for quite a while, so Ye Miaomiao saw him off.
However, when he reached the gate of the territory and was about to leave, Hu Mifeng suddenly turned around.
"Lord Ye, your restaurant really needs five-star reviews?"
He was obviously shocked by Ye Miaomiao's earnest eyes just now. To be honest, he felt that he was a failure as a courier, and he was not even as eager as Ye Miaomiao to give a five-star review!
Ye Miaomiao nodded helplessly.
"You could actually include the cake shop's food in the restaurant," Hu Mifeng suggested enthusiastically. "That way, people who buy cakes can also give it five-star reviews!"
Ye Miaomiao: “!”
"Also! Although the border port is not available, I can help you get good reviews. You can use my channel to sell food..." Hu Mifeng said this somewhat awkwardly.
Although he doesn't have much wisdom, he does have some cleverness, otherwise he wouldn't have come up with the "good idea" of using empty packages to place orders.
But Hu Mifeng is not a clever person. This time Ye Miaomiao helped him make money, and he actually wanted to repay her very much.
The two actually don't have much in common, so forget about selling information. This is actually just a worthless information gap.
But the food...Hu Mifeng wasn't sure if Ye Miaomiao trusted him enough to let him help sell it.
Unexpectedly, Ye Miaomiao's eyes widened in surprise: "Great! You can really help me get a five-star review!"
"Actually, I could send a message asking for a five-star review, but I never asked for one before..." Hu Mifeng scratched his head: "If you need it so badly, I will definitely try to get it for you."
Ye Miaomiao immediately looked at him with disapproval.
Every bit of wool must be fleeced. Hu Mifeng's job is similar to that of a restaurant. As long as there are good reviews, he can get it for free. How can he not try his best to get good reviews!
"Well, let's plan a cheap snack. Give a good review and we'll give one away..."
The two began whispering again.
At this moment, a new rumor emerged at the border crossing: "This 'anonymous' territory is actually deliberately concealing the news."
