Chapter 15 Chapter 15
"Let's compete!"
After being stunned for a moment, Wang Qi reacted first and agreed immediately.
He was afraid that He Tingting would go back on her word, so he spoke hastily.
"Yes, there are many judges, and it has credibility earlier. In my opinion, we should let our peers be the judges."
He Tingting raised her hand and gestured to stop.
"That won't work."
Although her voice of refusal was not loud, her tone was very firm.
"Since this is a food competition, the judges must naturally be guests. I suggest we hold a fairer competition."
He Tingting faced the crowd and raised her voice.
"I sincerely invite everyone to be a judge here. Every diner has the right to vote for the food you truly like."
The originally quiet street suddenly became lively because of these words.
Even Jia Hui, who was concentrating on eating, glanced sideways at He Tingting.
There were no talent shows in those days, and people rarely heard the word "voting".
He Tingting looked at Wang Qi.
"How about we schedule the game for tomorrow?"
"Time is too tight," said the pancake uncle, seeing that the matter was too fair, and wanted to delay it.
"Then the day after tomorrow, give us some time to prepare the ingredients."
He Tingting made the final decision.
It was no longer possible for Wang Qi to refuse.
There were dozens of pairs of eyes watching him, and everyone was talking about the competition. If he denied it now, and the news got out tomorrow, no one would come to his stall to eat.
He suddenly felt uneasy, as if he was in a difficult situation.
Wang Qi's mind worked quickly and he thought of the pancake stall owner.
While everyone was still paying attention, he said loudly, "It's pointless for two people to compete. I suggest we add a few more stall owners who are willing to participate, and if we're going to compete, let's have a big one."
He reached out and pulled the pancake vendor, "Old Li, do you want to join?"
Being stared at by so many people, Lao Li also got excited and agreed.
"Okay, I'll join in too!"
More and more people gathered here, and many of them came to watch the fun.
Some stall owners came over to join in the fun when they saw that there were not many customers.
After hearing about this competition, they thought about it and felt it was profitable, so they signed up one after another.
He Tingting memorized all the people.
A total of eleven stall owners participated.
"I will compile a detailed set of rules and have them reviewed by everyone tomorrow."
Since it comes to the rules, Wang Qi wants to seize the initiative.
"Why should you decide this? Shouldn't we discuss this matter together?"
It's best for him to decide.
Only in this way can a rule be formulated that is beneficial to him.
He Tingting saw through his little thoughts at a glance.
"If Boss Wang doesn't trust me, you can also issue a set of rules and present them to everyone tomorrow, and ask the contestants to vote for one. This will not only be fair, but also convincing."
Wang Qi agreed immediately.
There were only eleven contestants in total this time, two of whom had a good relationship with him.
He Tingting, the little girl, had just arrived and didn't know her place, so many people disliked her.
If we compare the votes among the stall owners, is it possible that he will lose to her?
Wang Qi was full of confidence, "It's settled."
The students around were discussing excitedly.
On the way back to the dormitory, all Jia Hui heard was this topic.
"How boring."
He muttered and trotted back to the dormitory.
As a result, he was blocked by Xiaopang as soon as he entered the door.
"Huizi, have you heard about the food competition that's going to be held in front of the school? I heard anyone can vote!"
"I know," Jia Hui curled his lips, "It was that woman from the He family who did it again. I was there just now."
In Jia Hui's opinion, this kind of competition between small stall owners is completely meaningless.
"Who's going to vote for them? It's already troublesome enough."
“Me!”
Xiaopang quickly responded, "I have to support Sister Lunch on this matter."
This is the nickname Xiaopang gave to He Tingting.
He always went to He Tingting to buy lunch at noon every day, and he always called her "beautiful sister", which seemed too frivolous, so he came up with this name.
Unexpectedly, the name spread so quickly once it was called out. Now, whenever classmates mention He Tingting, they all call her Lunch Sister.
"Come on, a lunch vendor, you really think she's your sister."
A head popped out from the upper bunk and interrupted, "I think this is really interesting."
"Isn't that the dormitory leader?"
Jia Hui's expression was incredulous. "Have you also been blinded by beauty?"
Sun Dongfang rubbed his eyes and said, "Fool, don't you see that this is a disguised form of propaganda?"
publicity?
Jia Hui's only knowledge of publicity is the village loudspeaker and the beverages in TV commercials.
Seeing his confused face, Sun Dongfang couldn't help but sigh.
Then explain patiently.
"If the competition gets underway, many people from our school and surrounding areas will come to watch the fun, which will invisibly increase the customer base."
Not knowing the specific rules of their game, Sun Dongfang could only analyze based on the existing information.
"Out of a hundred customers, we can always retain one or two who like to eat their food. If they become repeat customers, we can earn more in the future. For these small stall owners, participating in this competition is a sure win."
Jia Hui is not stupid, he just hasn't thought about it in this way.
If you think about it carefully, you will find it wonderful.
"So, the person who came up with this idea is a business genius?"
Xiaopang immediately puffed out his chest and said, "I said that Lunch Sister looks smart. There's a reason why her business is so good."
"Bullshit," Jia Hui cursed with a smile. "This time, this idea wasn't his. It was the original owner of the sesame cake stall. If anyone is smart, he's the one who's clever. It has nothing to do with Lunch Sister."
"Tsk," Xiaopang retorted unconvincedly, "Just wait and see the result of the competition. My lunch sister will definitely be the biggest winner."
The more he said this, the more Jia Hui wanted to do the opposite.
"I think the pancake vendor surnamed Wang is pretty good. If we had a competition, he would definitely win."
When two people face off, they have to fight to determine the winner.
"Let me make a bet? If Lunch Sister wins, you have to treat me to lunch for a week."
Jia Hui agreed immediately.
"Okay, then if the pancake vendor wins, you won't be able to eat at Lunch Sister's for a week!"
Xiaopang hesitated for a few seconds, then gritted his teeth and agreed.
Lunch sister must stand up for him. It is too painful for him to not eat delicious meals for a week!
On this day, the students were particularly agitated.
Liu Yang looked at the classroom where more than half of the people were gone just after class, and randomly selected a classmate to stop him.
"Big Li, come here."
No matter how old a student is, he or she will be startled when the teacher calls him or her.
Li Haiyang made a bitter face and stood politely in front of Teacher Liu, "Class teacher."
"Let me ask you, what are you going to do with them?"
When he heard that the question was not about study, Li Haiyang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"We decided to go to the entrance to see what's going on. Counselor, haven't you heard? Those vendors at the entrance are having a food competition!"
It is a good thing to have some fun to liven up students' extracurricular life.
Liu Yang said, "Just come and watch the fun, but don't let it affect your studies," and then let the person go.
In fact, I was also thinking about joining in the fun.

The other side.
Wang Qi was having a small meeting with two good friends.
"Do you have any good ideas about how to set the rules so that they will benefit us?"
The last of the three was a bit of a taciturn person. After a long while, he finally managed to utter, "I will definitely vote for you when the time comes."
Seeing this, Old Li could only say, "We can work on the tickets."
Wang Qi had been pondering the rules, and when he heard that he had a new idea, his eyes lit up, "Tell me about it in detail."
Old Li smirked, "Rules alone are useless. The key lies in the final vote. As long as the votes outnumber that girl, we'll still win. Once we win, we can imitate that girl and put up a banner saying, 'First Place in the Food Competition.' That'll spread our fame!"
Wang Qi clapped his hands and laughed, "Yes, business will definitely be bad from now on."
The taciturn Zhao San asked a question.
"But we can't control the votes, right?"
Wang Qi and Lao Li looked at each other, neither of them said a word, but ideas popped up in their minds one after another.
