Chapter 55
The activity recommended by netizens is the "Searching for Food" event held by the short video platform. "Searching for Food" has a total of ten stops, each stop is a city, and Haishi is one of them.
The "Searching for Food in Haishi" event has three rounds in total. The first round is the voting session. You can sign up for the event freely and vote through netizens. The top ten voters will enter the second round.
The second round is the expert tasting session, where three food experts will taste the shortlisted food restaurants in turn. Each expert will recommend a food restaurant that he or she thinks is the best, and the three food restaurants recommended by the food experts will enter the third round.
The third round is the final round, and the ranking of the final round is determined by the votes of the expert judges plus the votes of the public judges. The gourmet restaurant with the highest number of votes is the champion of "Searching for Food in Haishi". The champion will have the opportunity to shoot an exclusive gourmet documentary for the platform.
There are ten champions from ten cities, and the champion of each city can participate in the final national finals.
Chen Kangle carefully looked at the rewards for the first round of activities. The top ten voters can get promotion rewards from the platform, and the fourth to tenth place can get recommended promotion from the official account.
The third place winner will receive one-day platform splash screen advertising, the second place winner will receive two-day platform splash screen advertising, and the first place winner will receive three-day platform splash screen advertising and one-week large-screen advertising in the three major shopping malls in Haishi.
The event has been started for 13 hours. Chen Kangle clicked on the voting link of the event and found that there are currently 55 food restaurants in Hai City that have signed up for this event. The first place received 27,525 votes, the second place received 22,809 votes, and the tenth place received 834 votes.
The voting period is ten days in total, and each user can cast one vote per day.
If you register for the Kanglebox Hotel today, you will already have one day less tickets than other applicants.
But Chen Kangle's requirements are not high. The top ten in the first round can get recommended promotion from the official account. As long as Kangle Box Lunch can make it into the top ten, it will be fine. The official account of the event has 10 million fans. If it can get recommended promotion from the official account, it should be able to bring a certain amount of customer traffic to Kangle Box Lunch Restaurant.
Currently, the number of votes for the tenth place is only 834. Based on the current number of fans of "Kangle Box Lunch", it should be easy to enter the top ten.
After thinking for a while, Chen Kangle decided to help Kangle Box Hotel register. He clicked on the registration link to fill in various information and submit various information. At 22:00, the registration was finally successful.
After successful registration, the system will automatically send out a notification of successful registration.
Kangle lunch box: [Kangle lunch box has successfully registered for the "Searching for delicious food in Haishi" event, click the link to vote for it: ]
When fans see the updates automatically posted by the system, their first reaction is surprise.
YaYa Brow: [What is this thing? Do we need to vote? ]
Ugly Crab: [Yo yo yo... Is the Kang Le lunch going to participate in this event? ]
My coffee has arrived: [Wow! I know about this event. I saw it today and clicked in to see it. I wanted to vote, but I didn’t see the Kangle lunch box and didn’t vote. ]
Rotating firecrackers: [Today, the platform’s opening screen is an advertisement for this event. I didn’t expect that Kangle Boxed Lunch also participated in this event. 】
In order to canvass votes, Chen Kangle specially posted a comment under the voting dynamics: [Kangle Boxed Lunch has officially signed up to participate in this event. If you have time, please click in and vote for Kangle Boxed Lunch. Each person can vote once a day. Our goal is to be in the top ten. Thank you for your support! ]
Chen Kangle came out in person to canvass for votes, and fans all came to help vote.
Strawberry Party: [Boss Kangle is too polite. Leave the voting to us. ]
Purple mosquito loves to eat people: [I voted, it only took two seconds, and now our Kangle lunch box has more than 100 votes. ]
Have you slept for eight hours today? [Clicked in to see that the tenth place only has more than 800 votes. Your requirements are too low, Mr. Kang Le. It will only take a few minutes to get into the top ten.]
Fans of Kangle Box Lunch were very active in voting. Less than 10 minutes after the voting link was sent out, Kangle Box Lunch received 852 votes, surpassing Liuji Restaurant which ranked tenth.
Princess of the Eight-time Champion: [Boss Kangle, our Kangle Box Restaurant is already ranked tenth, and we have achieved our goal! ]
Incurable paranoia: [We are already in tenth place. Our goal is only the top ten. Boss Kang Le underestimates us. I think we can also be in eighth place. Currently, the eighth place has 2306 votes. We can surpass that tonight.]
M is for IN: [Don’t even mention the 8th place. I feel the 7th place is not a big problem. The 7th place only has 3491 votes. As long as everyone is more active, we can surpass it immediately! ]
Since the registration time for Kangle Lunch Box was a bit late, some netizens had already gone to bed, and some netizens had already voted for other food stores during the day, so the increase in the number of votes was not large.
Farting Pig: [Boss Kang Le, you signed up too late. Other food restaurants have already signed up this morning and voted for a whole day. We are just starting to vote now, so we have already lost at the starting point. Moreover, many netizens have already fallen asleep at this point and cannot vote at all.]
Are you good at math, kid? [Indeed, many netizens have already fallen asleep. I just sent the voting link to a friend and asked her to help vote. She has not responded yet. I guess she fell asleep.]
wyyk天生疯子: [I’m sorry for Kangle Box Lunch. The platform recommended this event to me this morning. I clicked in and didn’t see Kangle Box Lunch, so I voted for Lihua Hotel. If I knew that Kangle Box Lunch was going to participate in this event, I would definitely leave my votes for Kangle Box Lunch. ]
Bad Sky: [My friend’s family restaurant also participated in this event. She sent me the link today, so I voted for her. You can only vote once a day for this event. I will save the ticket for Kangle Boxed Lunch tomorrow.]
Half an hour after the voting link was sent out, Kangle Box Restaurant received 2,911 votes, surpassing Ningcheng Snack Bar and coming in eighth place.
When it reached eighth place, netizens wanted to rush to seventh place, and some even wanted to rush to fifth place.
The rewards for fourth to tenth place are all recommendations and promotions from official accounts, so Chen Kangle feels that fifth and eighth place are similar.
Only the top three will receive higher-level rewards, but now the number of votes for the top three is disparate, all of which are more than 20,000 votes. It is not easy to get into the top three. Moreover, because the registration time is too late, the number of votes is far behind, making it even more difficult to catch up.
Chen Kangle’s goal is to be in the top ten. Now Kangle Lunch Box has reached the eighth place. She is already very satisfied. As long as she maintains this ranking, it will be fine.
Boss Kang Le: [Thank you very much for voting. It’s getting late. Everyone, go to bed early. Good night! ]
As long as netizens remember to vote every day, Kangle lunch box will be in the top ten without any problem. Chen Kangle is not worried about this vote at all. He had to get up early the next day, so Chen Kangle put down his phone and went to sleep.
Some netizens who stayed up late saw the voting dynamics of Kangle Box Lunch and clicked in to vote. Slowly, Kangle Box Lunch received 3,548 votes, surpassing Dali Restaurant and currently ranked seventh.
At midnight, the first day of voting for "Searching for Food in Haishi" ended, and the top ten on the first day have been announced.
The first place was Fengling Restaurant with 27,825 votes, the second place was Lihua Hotel with 22,939 votes, and the third place was Haishi Restaurant with 20,712 votes.
The top three had a huge lead in votes, with the fourth-placed Zhenwei Hotel having only 9,884 votes, and the seventh-placed Kangle Boxed Lunch having 3,818 votes.
Momen player: [On the first day, other people had 15 hours to vote, but we at the Kangle Box Hotel only had two hours to vote. We were ranked seventh in two hours. We are so awesome! ]
I am cool and must be popular forever: [And when Kangle Box Lunch posted the voting link, it was already 10 o'clock in the evening, when many netizens had already gone to bed. If it had been earlier, maybe our Kangle Box Lunch would have been more than seventh. ]
The most handsome man in the world: [Indeed, when we started voting, the top ten already had more than 20,000 votes. It’s okay, we’ll vote again tomorrow, maybe we can get two more votes.]
Everyone can cast one vote every day, and can vote again after midnight. Some netizens who have not yet gone to bed click on the link to vote as soon as it is past midnight.
Niu Niu's sleep diary: [Friends, it's a new day after midnight. There is another vote to be cast today. Friends who haven't slept yet can move their fingers to vote. ]
Lifting up the nail: [I voted just after midnight, and then went to sleep~~~~]
Just walking two steps is exercise: [Vote, vote. Remember to vote for our Kangle lunch box at midnight every day. Let our Kangle lunch box always stay in the top ten. Only the top ten can enter the second round. ]
At the call of the night owls, the votes for Kangle Boxed Lunch increased very quickly after midnight, and in half an hour, it increased by more than 800 votes. However, the increase of other food restaurants after midnight was very small. The tenth place only increased by 5 votes in half an hour, and even the first place Fengling Restaurant only increased by more than 100 votes.
Soon, Kanglehe Restaurant ranked sixth.
The next morning, many netizens woke up and saw the voting link sent by Kangle Box Lunch, and clicked on it to vote.
SanQ Mai Mai: [Damn! I went to bed early yesterday and didn’t see the vote for Kangle Box Lunch. I’ll vote right now.]
Heehee874: [Although I went to bed very late yesterday, I didn’t watch any short videos at night, so I didn’t see the voting link posted by Kangle Box Lunch. I can only vote once a day, I’m speechless, I wasted yesterday’s vote.]
I met a ghost when I turned a corner: [I got up early today to vote for Kangle Boxed Lunch. I signed up too late yesterday for Kangle Boxed Lunch, so I voted for Lihua Hotel early. I must vote for Kangle Boxed Lunch today. Kangle Boxed Lunch is my favorite, and Lihua Hotel can only be ranked second.]
O'Neal said: [Wow! You guys are awesome! When I voted before going to bed yesterday, our Kangle Box Lunch was ranked 10th, but when I woke up, it was ranked 6th. You guys are awesome.]
The number of votes for Kangle Lunch increased sharply early in the morning. By nine o'clock, it had risen to 8,701 votes, and its ranking instantly dropped to fifth place, still more than 2,000 votes away from the fourth place.
But there is still a big gap between the number of votes for the top three. The first place is Fengling Restaurant with 30,326 votes, the second place is Lihua Hotel with 24,029 votes, and the third place is Haishi Restaurant with 21,912 votes.
The worm that chews the apple: [The top three are really leading by a huge margin. Kangle Box Lunch’s votes are more than 20,000 behind the first place, and more than 10,000 behind the second and third place. We can’t catch up at all. It feels like we can only catch up to fourth place at best.]
No matter who it is, I will scold: [Actually, I calculated that from midnight to nine o'clock, our Kangle lunch box had the highest increase in votes, about 5,000 votes, while the first place Fengling Restaurant only increased by more than 3,000 votes, the second place Lihua Hotel increased by more than 2,000 votes, and the third place Haishi Restaurant increased by more than 1,000 votes. We lost because we signed up too late on the first day, resulting in a huge gap between the votes on the first day and the top three, so it is difficult to catch up. ]
Take me to a farther place: [Alas, I just checked the rewards for this event. The top three will have a splash screen advertisement on the platform. If Kangle lunch box can get into the top three, there will be a splash screen advertisement, but unfortunately we are far behind in votes. ]
If you can't walk, just crawl: [It's okay. Boss Kangle's goal is to be in the top ten. We are already in fifth place, and we have exceeded our goal. If we can't get into the top three, then we can't get into the top three. It's no big deal. If we work harder, maybe we can get fourth place.]
As the gap was too big, fans of Kangle Box Lunch gave up the idea of competing for the top three places and tried to get the fourth place.
At this time, Chen Kangle, who was preparing to make new dishes, took the time to look at the voting. Kangle lunch box was in fifth place, which was beyond her expectations.
She is very grateful to the netizens who voted for Kangle Lunch Box, and the only way she can repay them is to make more delicious dishes.
The new dish Chen Kangle is going to make today is braised lion's head. The lion's head is made from pork that is 30% fat and 70% lean, which makes the lion's head taste the best.
The knife technique used to make lion's head is "fine cutting and coarse chopping", which is slightly different from making meatballs. It does not require a fine minced meat texture, but a somewhat rough granular texture.
After manual chopping, beating and stirring, the meat filling is coarse-grained. Pour onion and ginger water, eggs, starch, white pepper powder, soy sauce, oyster sauce and other seasonings into the meat filling, stir evenly in a clockwise direction, then add the chopped water chestnuts and continue to stir evenly.
Adding water chestnuts can make the meat filling more fragrant and make it taste crispy.
Beat the evenly mixed meat filling several times with your hands. Beating can make the meat filling more chewy.
Divide the meat filling into several pieces and make meatballs about the size of longan. Compared with other lion heads, the lion heads made by Chen Kangle are very small, just the right size to eat one in one bite.
Add oil to a hot pan and heat it to 80% hot. Put the meatballs into the pan and fry until they are shaped, then remove from the pan and drain the oil.
Add water to the pot, add spices such as peppercorns, bay leaves, and seasonings such as rock sugar, cooking wine, and salt, then put in the fried meatballs and simmer over low heat.
After stewing, take out the meatballs and put them on a plate. Pour the fresh sauce thickened with soup on them, and a fragrant braised lion head is ready.
Whenever there are new dishes, the Kangle Box Restaurant will be twice as lively as usual. When discussing the new dishes, diners never forget to mention the voting.
"Kangle Boxed Lunch participated in the "Searching for Food in Haishi" event on the short video platform. The first round of this event requires netizens to vote. The top ten votes can enter the next round, and the platform will reward some promotional traffic. Have you voted? If not, remember to vote for us at Kangle Boxed Lunch."
"I voted. When I woke up this morning, I saw the voting link sent by Kangle Box Lunch, so I voted."
"What vote? I haven't had time to go online these past two days, so I have no idea what the vote is. I'll go check it out after I finish my lunch."
Some diners who rarely watch short videos didn’t know about the voting at all. They only opened the short video platform and cast their vote after learning about the voting.
"Boss Kang Le made us such delicious braised lion's head today, we must go and vote for our Kang Le lunch box."
Some older diners don’t use short video platforms at all, and haven’t even downloaded the short video platform APP.
"Can any handsome guy help me download the APP? I want to vote for Kangle lunch. If I don't vote, I'll feel sorry for today's braised lion head."
With the help of enthusiastic diners, older diners also began to help vote.
"Uncle, you can vote every day. Just open the app and click here to cast a vote every day." The enthusiastic diners patiently taught the older diners how to vote.
Uncle Zhang was very intelligent and understood the voting process immediately. He clicked in to cast a vote and then saw the ranking of Kangle Lunch Boxes.
"Why is Kangle lunch only ranked fifth? How can such a delicious lunch only be ranked fifth? Is this ranking wrong? Kangle lunch is so delicious, shouldn't it be ranked first?"
In Grandpa Zhang’s eyes, Kangle Lunch Box is the most delicious food restaurant, and the delicious Kangle Lunch Box must be the first.
"Uncle, because I signed up for the Kangle lunch box late, my ranking is a bit low." The enthusiastic eater patiently explained, "And the boss of Kangle said that the requirements are not high, as long as I am in the top ten."
"No, fifth place is too low. It's totally unacceptable that our delicious lunch boxes are not first place." Uncle Zhang was a little unhappy when he saw that Kangle lunch boxes were not first place.
The enthusiastic diners just smiled. The number of votes for Kangle Lunch Box was far less than that of the first place, so it was too difficult to get the first place.
After a busy morning, Xiang Yunting finally had time to canvass for votes at around 11 o'clock. Xiang Yunting posted a Weibo to canvass for votes, hoping that his fans could vote for Kangle Box Lunch.
Canvassing for votes is useful. After Xiang Yunting posted a vote-canvassing Weibo, the number of votes for Kangle Lunch increased again.
The main reason is because of today’s new dish, braised lion’s head. After eating the fresh and fragrant lion’s head, everyone was in a very happy mood. When there was a vote, everyone was willing to help vote.
White Little Teeth: [Although I don’t like playing short video platforms, I must download one to vote for today’s delicious braised lion head. ]
Not a young person anymore: [I voted, and I even sent the voting link to my friends so they could vote as well. ]
Sisi is not in the eye: [Originally I was too lazy to vote, but after eating such delicious braised lion's head, I decided to help cast a vote. ]
By noon, Kangle Lunch had received 14,105 votes, ranking fourth, an increase of more than 6,000 votes in just three hours.
When Kangle lunch box's votes increased, the votes for the top three were also increasing.
Currently, the first place is Fengling Restaurant with 34,276 votes, the second place is Lihua Hotel with 26,412 votes, the third place is Haishi Restaurant with 24,712 votes, and the fourth place is Kangle Lunch with 14,105 votes.
Zhou Zhou doesn't drink porridge: [Awesome! ! ! ! Fourth place! ! ! The ranking of Kangle lunchbox is rising so fast! ]
Do you dare to eat the rabbit head? [This is amazing. The votes are rising rapidly. It has reached more than 10,000 votes, far surpassing the fifth place. ]
Brother Jie smiled: [Oh my god! Kangle Box Lunch is in fourth place. I calculated that Kangle Box Lunch is currently about 10,000 votes behind the third place Haishi Restaurant. I feel that Kangle Box Lunch has a chance to reach third place.]
In the early hours of this morning, Kangle Box Lunch was 17,000 votes behind Haishi Restaurant. Now, it is only about 10,000 votes behind. In half a day, the gap has been reduced to 7,000. Originally, everyone's goal was to be fourth, and they thought the top three were too difficult. Now the votes are gradually closing, and everyone seems to see hope.
Raisins are sweet: [Friends, I think we can try to get the third place. The third place has a splash screen advertisement. If we work hard, we may get it.]
Sweet Potato Deserves to Be Roasted: [The gap with the first place is indeed huge, but the gap with the third place is not too big. If we try again, we may be able to surpass the third place Haishi Restaurant. ]
Lao Luo ran away: [The first round of voting lasted for ten days, and now it is only the second day of voting. We have pulled back 7,000 votes in half a day. Now there is only a difference of 10,000 votes. There are still eight days left, and the votes can definitely be caught up. ]
With hope comes motivation. Some active diners began to help canvass for votes everywhere. Liu Hemei was one of the diners who canvassed for votes.
Liu Hemei has recently fallen madly in love with Kangle lunch boxes, which are her dream meals. She hopes that her favorite Kangle lunch boxes can be ranked higher. Although it is difficult to get the first place, they can send Kangle lunch boxes to the top three.
She saw the voting link when she woke up this morning. She regretted not opening the short video platform to take a look before going to bed last night, so she missed a vote.
In order to make up for the vote she missed, Liu Hemei sent the voting link to the family group.
Liu Hemei: [Dear family members, I am helping my friend to get votes. If you have time, please vote for "Kangle Boxed Lunch".]
Liu Hemei was embarrassed to say that she was frantically canvassing for votes for a box office lunch restaurant, so she made up a story about a friend.
In addition to the family group, Liu Hemei originally wanted to send the voting link to the classmates group, but no one had spoken in the classmates group for hundreds of years. She was embarrassed to throw the voting link to the lifeless classmates group, so she had to give up.
After thinking about it, Liu Hemei decided to send it to a few of her close friends.
Liu Hemei: [Ms. Zhou, please click in and vote for Kangle lunch. This is the Kangle lunch I told you about last time. It’s super delicious.]
Zhou Xiyu is Liu Hemei's college classmate. After graduating from college, both of them stayed in Hai City to work, but one was in the south of Hai City and the other in the north of Hai City. The distance was quite far, so they usually only met on Saturdays and Sundays.
Zhou Xiyu: [Is this lunch box really that delicious? You, a busy man, actually campaigned for it yourself. ]
When chatting with Liu Hemei recently, Liu Hemei mentioned Kangle lunch boxes almost every time, and kept praising Kangle lunch boxes for being delicious. She also invited Zhou Xiyu to eat Kangle lunch boxes together on Saturday.
Zhou Xiyu was also curious and agreed to go with her on Saturday.
Liu Hemei: [Kangle lunch boxes are delicious. I will treat you to a super delicious lunch box on Saturday. Please help me vote now. Our Kangle lunch boxes must be in the top three! ]
Voting is a simple thing. Zhou Xiyu clicked on the voting link sent by Liu Hemei to help vote. As soon as he clicked in, he saw the top three candidates. The first was Fengling Restaurant, the second was Lihua Hotel, and the third was Haishi Restaurant. Liu Hemei’s favorite Kangle lunch was ranked fourth.
Zhou Xiyu saw Haishi Restaurant at first sight. It was a restaurant she liked very much. She also liked the seafood there very much. Every time she got her payday, she would go to Haishi Restaurant for a delicious meal.
When Zhou Xiyu is in a bad mood, she will go to Haishi Restaurant for a big meal. The delicious seafood in Haishi Restaurant can make her feel better.
"Why is our Haishi Restaurant only ranked third?" Zhou Xiyu felt that Haishi Restaurant was the best food restaurant in Haishi and was fully capable of taking first place.
At this time, Liu Hemei sent another message: [Ms. Zhou, have you voted? ]
Zhou Xiyu looked again and again. Her favorite Haishi Restaurant ranked third, and Liu Hemei's favorite Kangle Lunch ranked fourth, and the difference in votes between the two restaurants was less than 10,000 votes.
Zhou Xiyu was a little hesitant. If she helped Liu Hemei invest in Kangle Lunch, Kangle Lunch might surpass Haishi Restaurant. She didn't want to see her favorite Haishi Restaurant fall out of the top three.
Zhou Xiyu: [Meimei, I’m sorry. I like Haishi Restaurant and I also participated in this event. I want to vote for my favorite Haishi Restaurant.]
Zhou Xiyu didn't want to deceive her friend, so she told Liu Hemei the truth directly.
Seeing Zhou Xiyu say that she wanted to vote for Haishi Restaurant, Liu Hemei panicked and quickly stopped her.
Liu Hemei: [Wait, don’t vote yet!!!]
Haishi Restaurant was in third place and was a competitor of Kangle Lunch Box. Liu Hemei failed to canvass for votes and instead won votes for her competitor. She would not allow this to happen.
Liu Hemei sent another message to Zhou Xiyu: [Ms. Zhou, please don’t vote yet. Our Kangle lunch boxes are definitely better than those in Haishi Restaurant. If you eat Kangle lunch boxes, you will definitely like them.]
Liu Hemei: [Don’t rush to vote. I’ll bring you a lunch box tonight to try. After you eat the lunch box, you can decide who to vote for.]
Liu Hemei is very confident that as long as Zhou Xiyu eats Kangle lunch boxes, she will definitely vote for Kangle lunch boxes.
Liu Hemei: [Ms. Zhou, please give our Kangle lunch a chance! ]
Liu Hemei sent several messages in a row. In view of Liu Hemei's hard work, Zhou Xiyu promised Liu Hemei not to vote for the time being.
