Chapter 58
The third day of voting ended. The first place was Fengling Restaurant with 52,925 votes, the second place was Lihua Hotel with 45,613 votes, the third place was Kangle Lunch with 39,472 votes, and the fourth place was Haishi Restaurant with 39,110 votes.
Little Orange Cat Sweetly: [Third place!!!! Kangle lunchbox is awesome. There are still seven days left before the voting ends. Everyone must keep it up.]
skylove: [Although our Kangle Box Restaurant is already in third place, we only have a few hundred more votes than the fourth-place Haishi Restaurant. We will catch up in a few minutes. We need to widen the gap!]
Big Ear Dudu: [We must widen the gap to avoid being overtaken. Let’s continue voting tomorrow. ]
According to statistics from netizens, the vote increase on the third day was as follows: First place Fengling Restaurant increased by 10,040 votes, second place Lihua Hotel increased by 9,384 votes, third place Kangle Lunch increased by 14,382 votes, and fourth place Haishi Restaurant increased by 9,103 votes.
Among the top four, Kangle Lunch Box still had the highest increase, with more than 4,000 votes more than the first-place Fengling Restaurant, and the gap in votes between the two has narrowed to 13,000.
But relative to the gains on the second day, the gains of the top four all declined on the third day.
After a wave of voting in the early morning, the number of votes for Kangle Lunch gradually widened the gap with Haishi Restaurant, and the number of votes now exceeded that of Haishi Restaurant by more than a thousand.
Seeing the vote gap widen, the night owls who stayed up late to vote can now go to bed with peace of mind.
Netizens who usually go to bed early woke up early and saw that the number of votes had surpassed Haishi Restaurant, and began their belated celebration.
Just pick an ID for fun: [Oh my god! When I went to bed yesterday, I was still a few hundred votes behind Haishi Restaurant. I didn’t expect that before I went to bed, we had surpassed Haishi Restaurant by more than a thousand votes.]
Final outcome: [Damn! I thought we could overtake this morning. If I had known we could overtake last night, I would have slept later and witnessed the overtaking moment with my own eyes.]
Queen of Self-Entertainment: [Hahahaha, when I went to sleep yesterday, I knew that we could definitely overtake. Sure enough, I saw good news when I woke up. Congratulations to our Kangle lunch box for making it into the top three.]
Chen Kangle was too busy these two days, so she forgot to pay attention to the number of votes. When she woke up today, she suddenly remembered about voting, so she clicked on the voting link and took a look.
When she saw that Kangle Box Lunch was in third place, she suspected that she was still sleepy and must have seen it wrongly. She rubbed her eyes hard and looked again. It was really in third place.
Although Chen Kangle's original goal was to get into the top ten, no one dislikes a high ranking. Seeing Kangle Lunch Box ranked in the top three, Chen Kangle was particularly happy.
The top three will receive a splash screen advertising reward from the platform. The short video platform is a platform with very large traffic. If you can get the splash screen advertising on the platform, it will definitely bring a lot of traffic to Kangle Box Hotel.
Chen Kangle imagined that as long as he opened the short video platform’s splash screen ad, he could see Kangle lunch boxes, which felt super cool!
Chen Kangle looked through the comments below and saw that many netizens were still voting for Kangle Lunch Box in the early morning. Chen Kangle was a little touched.
The wind blows to the middle of summer: [Comrades, it’s past midnight, let’s go, vote, and distance ourselves! ]
Mickey Mouse and Tiger: [I stayed up late on purpose to wait for the overtaking. I was so happy to see the overtaking. Now I am so excited that I can hardly sleep.]
May you get rich in the Year of the Dragon: [Seeing that Kangle Boxed Lunch surpassed the fourth place by more than a thousand votes, I can finally sleep peacefully, and look forward to a bigger gap tomorrow. ]
If netizens hadn’t helped in voting, Kangle Lunch Box wouldn’t have made it into the top three.
For this reason, Chen Kangle specially posted a message to thank the netizens who voted for Kangle Lunch Box.
Kangle lunch box: [Thank you for your votes, Kangle lunch box will continue to bring you more delicious meals, so stay tuned! ]
Fans were already very happy to see the ranking, and they were even happier when they saw the thank-you status posted by Kangle Box Lunch.
A little fanboy who likes to follow basketball: [Boss Kangle was being polite to us again, so we just shot casually, and ended up in third place. Tell me, are we awesome?]
Edema Alien: [Boss, if you really want to thank us, then make us some delicious new dishes. ]
AndyMeimei: [Hahahahaha, why do our customers at Kangle lunch always think of new dishes first? Why don’t the boss just make a new dish for us! [Laughing]]
Many netizens were talking about new dishes in the comments. Chen Kangle thought about it and decided to create a new dish to make everyone happy.
Chen Kangle originally planned to make a sweet and sour fish, but because he did not order the ingredients in advance, Chen Kangle planned to make a new dish with the existing ingredients. He would go to the store later to check it out and then decide what new dish to make.
There are many existing ingredients in the kitchen, duck, pork, chicken, hairtail, chicken legs, chicken feet...
Chen Kangle looked around but still didn't know what new dish to make.
"Xiao Xiang, please help me think about what new dishes we can make using these existing ingredients." Chen Kangle asked Xiang Yunting directly.
Xiang Yunting has a lot of ideas, and every time you ask him, he can always give an answer quickly.
"Chicken feet, mango snails, chicken legs, oysters..."
"What can be done?"
Xiang Yunting went through various dishes in his mind, and suddenly an idea came to his mind, and he thought of a new dish.
"Boss Kang Le, I know what to do. Let's make fried chicken legs. It just so happens that we have chicken legs for braised chicken legs in the kitchen."
Fried chicken legs, Chen Kangle thinks it's feasible. Men, women, old and young all like to eat fried chicken legs. Even Chen Kangle can't help but want to buy golden and crispy fried chicken legs every time he sees them on the street.
"Okay, let's make fried chicken legs."
After deciding on the new dishes, Chen Kangle began to prepare.
First soak the chicken legs in clean water to soak out the blood and remove the fishy smell.
In order to make it easier to season the chicken, you need to cut the chicken leg first, cut it from the base along both sides of the chicken bone, and poke holes in the chicken on both sides with a toothpick.
Add cooking wine, salt, sugar, onion, ginger and pepper to the chopped chicken legs, mix well, seal with plastic wrap and marinate for a while.
When marinating chicken legs, you can first prepare the batter with starch, flour, and baking powder, then pour in an appropriate amount of water to make it into a rice paste. Add an appropriate amount of sesame oil to the batter and stir evenly.
Rinse the marinated chicken legs in clean water, sprinkle with starch, and then pour in the prepared batter until the chicken legs are fully coated with the batter.
Next, prepare to fry. The heat is the most important when frying. If it is not fried thoroughly, the chicken legs will be bloody. If it is fried too much, the chicken legs will be burnt and affect the taste.
Only by controlling the heat well can you fry the chicken legs to be golden, crispy and cooked through.
Pour oil into a hot pan and heat it to 70% hot. Put in the chicken legs coated with batter. First fry them over high heat until they are set. Then switch to low heat and fry them slowly until the surface turns slightly yellow. Remove them from the pan and then fry them over high heat again until the surface turns golden and crispy.
The fried chicken legs just out of the pan have golden crispy skin with bubbles coming out of it, and exude an enticing aroma that makes people salivate.
"Boss Kang Le, let me try one first." Xiang Yunting couldn't wait to eat it.
As soon as Chen Kangle nodded, Xiang Yunting reached out and grabbed a chicken leg.
"Wait a minute..." Chen Kangle was about to remind him not to be impatient, the oil on the puff pastry was still bubbling, and he should wait a while before eating.
As a result, before he could react, Xiang Yunting had already been scalded.
"It's hot!" Xiang Yunting was burned and quickly pulled his hand back, "Damn, it's burned."
"Rinse it with water first." Chen Kangle reminded quickly.
Xiang Yunting finally reacted and quickly washed his scalded fingers with water. Fortunately, he was only burned a little.
"It's okay, just a small blister." Xiang Yunting didn't care at all. He looked at the fragrant fried chicken leg again.
"Boss Kangle, can we eat now?" Xiang Yunting asked cautiously.
Chen Kangle glanced at the fried chicken legs on the plate. The oil bubbles on the chicken legs were not so active anymore, so he said, "It should be ready to eat."
"Then I'll eat it." Xiang Yunting grabbed a fried chicken leg happily. The chicken leg was still warm, but not very hot.
The super-large fried chicken legs with a golden appearance will make you drool at the first sight.
I picked it up and took a big bite. The skin was golden and crispy, and it made a crunching sound when I bit it. The crisp crunching sound was very pleasant to the ear.
The fried skin of the chicken leg is very thin, crispy and not greasy, while the chicken inside is tender, juicy and extremely fragrant!
Take a bite and the gravy will flow out along the bite point, so fresh that it dances on your tongue and excites your taste buds to the extreme.
Chen Kangle asked beside him: "How does it taste? Is it tasty?"
"It's delicious and very fragrant!" Xiang Yunting said excitedly: "The skin of the fried chicken leg is crispy and delicious, and the chicken inside is tender and juicy, not dry at all, and very tasty. Every inch of the chicken is very fresh and fragrant."
When making new dishes, Chen Kangle would ask Xiang Yunting to taste them and then give him suggestions. Xiang Yunting is a very good eater and sometimes he can provide Chen Kangle with useful suggestions.
The last time when making tiger skin green peppers, Chen Kangle also asked Xiang Yunting to help taste them. After tasting them, Xiang Yunting pointed out the problem that the green peppers were not soft enough.
Chen Kangle accepted his suggestion and paid special attention to the degree of softness when making tiger skin green peppers. Sure enough, the soft green peppers tasted more flavorful.
After this, Xiang Yunting admired Chen Kangle even more. He admired Chen Kangle's humility. Even though she was already a very good chef, she would humbly listen to other people's suggestions.
When he was a kitchen helper, Xiang Yunting also gave suggestions to the chef, but was scolded by the chef, who said that his cooking skills were poor and he was not worthy of giving suggestions.
Xiang Yunting became more and more grateful that he met Chen Kangle. Working with Chen Kangle was a very happy thing.

The newly released fried chicken legs immediately became the most popular dish at the Kangle Box Restaurant. Taking a bite of the crispy, tender and juicy fried chicken legs and then taking a big gulp of ice-cold Coke is simply refreshing.
Fried chicken legs and ice cola are a perfect match. Every customer who is going to eat fried chicken legs brings a bottle of ice cola.
Customers came to the convenience store one after another to buy Coke.
"Madam, I need a bottle of Coke. You need Coke when eating fried chicken legs."
"Madam, do you have any iced Coke? Give me one."
The Coke in Yang Chunxia’s convenience store was in short supply and the Coke in the refrigerator was quickly sold out.
Yang Chunxia couldn't stop smiling. She quickly called her husband to ask for leave to come back to look after the store while she drove to purchase goods.
"Don't go to that crappy shift for now, come back and help look after the store for a while. All the Coke in the store has been snatched away, I need to go get some more."
Yang Chunxia prepared to get some more Coke. She expected that there would be more customers coming to eat fried chicken legs in the afternoon, so she had to stock up on enough Coke.
She often told Chen Kangle: "Kangle, you are simply my God of Wealth! Ever since you opened a boxed lunch restaurant next to our convenience store, our convenience store now makes more money in a month than it did in a year before."
Upon learning that Yang Chunxia's convenience store business was booming, Chen Kangle was happy for Yang Chunxia, and was also happy that he could help Yang Chunxia.
When her grandfather was sick, it was Yang Chunxia who took the initiative to lend her money. When she first started the lunch box business, Yang Chunxia also helped her. When it rained and she couldn't set up the stall, Yang Chunxia helped her sell lunch boxes and later lent her a van to set up the stall.
Chen Kangle was happy from the bottom of his heart when he saw that the people who had done him a favor had made a lot of money.
As expected, a large group of customers came to eat fried chicken legs in the afternoon, and almost every customer who ate fried chicken legs went to Yang Chunxia's convenience store to buy ice cola.
In less than two hours, all the Coke in the convenience store was sold out, and Yang Chunxia's mouth was almost splitting with laughter.
Kangle lunch’s new dishes have once again received rave reviews, with netizens voting and praising them.
Back, back ...
Listen to laughter from afar: [The fried chicken legs are so delicious, I can eat two in one meal, it’s so satisfying. ]
Ordinary basketball boy: [The fried chicken legs at the Kanglehe Restaurant are the most fragrant and flavorful fried chicken legs I have ever eaten. They are so delicious that even the bones are fragrant. ]
While eating the delicious fried chicken legs and watching the votes for Kangle lunch box widen further and further away from the fourth place, the diners felt extremely happy.
At seven o'clock in the evening, the number of votes for Kangle Lunch had already surpassed that of Haishi Restaurant by more than 3,000 votes.
The first place was Fengling Restaurant with 58,325 votes, the second place was Lihua Hotel with 50,603 votes, the third place was Kangle Lunch with 47,910 votes, and the fourth place was Haishi Restaurant with 44,823 votes.
On the fourth day of voting, the increase in votes for each company dropped significantly. After the gap between Kangle Boxed Lunch and Haishi Restaurant widened, the increase in votes for Kangle Boxed Lunch and Haishi Restaurant also slowed down.
In everyone's opinion, the rankings are almost fixed. First place is Fengling Restaurant, second place is Lihua Hotel, third place is Kangle Boxed Lunch, and fourth place is Haishi Restaurant.
Therefore, many people are no longer so active in voting, they just want to keep their original ranking.
For example, Zhou Xiyu did not vote today. She was actively helping with voting two days ago, but because no one wanted to grab the first place, she lost the motivation to vote.
Although she didn't vote, Zhou Xiyu was still thinking about the lunch box from Kangle. She didn't plan to eat the lunch box today because she was really afraid of motion sickness. She planned to ask Liu Hemei to buy her a lunch box in two days.
But just now Liu Hemei sent her a photo of fried chicken legs.
Liu Hemei: [Ms. Zhou, there is a new dish in the Kangle lunchbox today, which is golden and crispy fried chicken legs.]
In addition to chicken feet, Zhou Xiyu’s favorite is fried chicken legs.
The fried chicken legs in the photo are golden in color, and fried chicken lovers are instantly tempted.
Zhou Xiyu: [Meimei, please buy me one after you finish eating. I will take a bus to your house to eat later.]
Although she hated riding in a car, she decided to try again for the delicious fried chicken legs.
It only takes about 50 minutes to get to Liu Hemei's house by bus. I can bear it by applying some wind oil and smelling orange peels. After sitting on the bus for 50 minutes, even if I didn't feel dizzy or vomit, I still felt a little uncomfortable.
Even though she felt a little uncomfortable, Zhou Xiyu instantly came back to life when she ate the fried chicken legs.
The fried skin on the surface of the chicken leg is of just the right thickness and is fried until extremely crispy. It makes a crunchy sound when you bite it, and you can feel the tenderness and sweetness of the chicken when it enters your mouth. It is extremely delicious.
Zhou Xiyu loves the fried chicken legs in Kangle lunch boxes so much that she wants to eat them with the bones.
That night, Zhou Xiyu had a beautiful dream.
In her dream, Kangle Box Lunch opened a branch in the city, and it only took 20 minutes by car to get to the Kangle Box Lunch Restaurant. She would take the bus to the Kangle Box Lunch Restaurant after work every day. She could eat delicious boxed lunches every day without getting carsick, and she lived a happy life.
After waking up, Zhou Xiyu found that everything was just a dream, and the reality was that she had to take a dizzy 70-minute car ride to get to the Kangle Box Hotel.
"Kangle lunch business is so popular, why don't you open a branch in the city?" Zhou Xiyu asked Liu Hemei.
She hopes that Kangle Lunch Boxes can open a branch in the city so that she won’t have to take the bus to eat lunch.
Liu Hemei: "I remember that the boss of Kangle said that he would open a branch in the future, but he doesn't have the money yet. He will open it when he has money."
It turned out that it was because of lack of money. Zhou Xiyu thought about it seriously. At present, the Kangle lunch box business is already very popular. If you want it to be more popular, you must promote it well.
Zhou Xiyu thought of the "Searching for Food in Haishi" event held by the short video platform. She had seen the rewards of the event before. The first place in the first round of voting can get three days of platform's opening screen advertising and one week of large-screen advertising in Haishi's three major shopping malls.
Simultaneous offline and online promotion will definitely bring a large number of customers to Kangle Lunch Boxes. The more customers there are, the more money the lunch box restaurant makes. If the lunch box restaurant makes more money, it may be possible to open branches in the city.
In order to make his dream come true, Zhou Xiyu quickly went to vote for Kangle Lunch Box. Currently, Kangle Lunch Box is still in third place.
Zhou Xiyu hopes that Kangle Lunch Box can win first place and get a lot of publicity rewards.
But she alone cannot help Kangle Lunch Box win the first place. Everyone must work together to have a chance of winning the first place.
Unfortunately, no one else had the desire to win first place. Zhou Xiyu thought for a while and came up with a way to make others want to compete for first place.
