Chapter 57
However, everyone’s enthusiasm is not very high, because in everyone’s eyes the first and third place are almost the same, the only difference is that the first place gets better publicity resources than the third place.
Boys and: [In theory, it is possible to catch up, but you need to maintain this increase every day. But I think it is a bit difficult, because not everyone will remember to vote every day.]
Bozai wants to eat: [Under normal circumstances, the number of votes will increase more and more slowly. We cannot guarantee that we will get so many votes every day. Besides, the first place Fengling Restaurant is also very popular. They will not sit there and wait for us to catch up.]
George Hami Melon: [It is possible to get first place, but it will be very hard. The reward for first place is two more days of splash screen advertising and offline shopping mall large screen promotion than third place. Anyway, third place also has splash screen advertising, so the reward is pretty good. ]
The dog barking thing: [Third place is not bad, there is no need to be obsessed with first place. And we are fourth place now, let's catch up with third place first and then consider first place. ]
Everyone is not very enthusiastic about the first place, and Zhou Xiyu can't do anything alone. If they want to get the first place, everyone must work together and vote hard, and there will be hope.
"Forget it. No one has the ambition to get first place. I alone can't change anything." Zhou Xiyu also gave up the idea of getting first place.
"It's too difficult to get the first place. Let's get the third place first. Now we don't even know if we can get the third place." Liu Hemei didn't even think about rushing for the first place. She would be satisfied with the third place.
At midnight, the voting for the second day ended and the official rankings for the second day were released.
First place Fengling Restaurant received 42,885 votes, second place Lihua Hotel received 36,229 votes, third place Haishi Restaurant received 30,007 votes, and fourth place Kangle Lunch received 25,090 votes.
-yyyxxx: [Wow! That's great. Our Kangle lunch box has already received more than 20,000 votes. I remember that at the end of the first day yesterday, Kangle lunch box only had more than 3,000 votes. Today's number has increased really fast! ]
Milk Goose No. 123: [Great! The difference between Kangle Boxed Lunch and the third place Haishi Restaurant is less than 5,000 votes. Come on, everyone. I feel that Kangle Boxed Lunch will surpass Haishi Restaurant tomorrow. ]
Love that cannot be searched: [Go! It’s past midnight, and you can vote again today. Everyone, remember to vote for Kang Le Boxed Lunch! ]
On the second day of voting, the votes for the first place Fengling Restaurant increased by a total of 15,065 votes, the second place Lihua Hotel increased by a total of 13,290 votes, the third place Haishi Restaurant increased by a total of 9,295 votes, and the fourth place Kangle Lunch increased by a total of 21,272 votes.
Mushroom Stewed Fool: [Did you notice that the vote increase of the top three on the second day was much lower than that on the first day, and only our Kangle lunch box had an increase in votes. ]
A life of stumbling: [Too amazing!!! On the first day, Kangle lunch box only had over 3,000 votes, but on the second day it increased to over 20,000 votes. The increase in votes was the highest, higher than the number one Fengling restaurant, which only increased by 15,000 votes on the first day.]
ww It's you again: [Hahahaha, although, the reason why our Kangle Box Lunch had such a large increase in votes on the second day is because we only registered on the first night. For other companies, it was the second day of voting, but for Kangle Box Lunch, it was the first day of voting. Usually, everyone is very active on the first day of voting, but not so active on the second day, so usually the increase in votes on the second day will be lower than the first day. Tomorrow, the increase in votes for our Kangle Box Lunch will definitely be lower than today. ]
Bang Bang Libai: [It’s okay. Anyway, the vote increase will decrease together with everyone else. As long as we keep it down and don’t drop too much, we can slowly surpass Haishi Restaurant.]
There are many night owls among Kangle Box Lunch’s fans, and after midnight, the number of votes increases the most.
Zhou Xiyu is also a night owl. She cast a vote for Kangle lunch box and went to sleep.
The next day, Zhou Xiyu still couldn't forget the Kangle Box Lunch. She checked and found that the Kangle Box Lunch Restaurant was in Jiangdong New District, and it would take at least 70 minutes to get there by bus from where she lived.
"This is too far!" The distance scared Zhou Xiyu. She originally lived in the suburbs, and it only took her about 20 minutes to go to the city. Kangle Lunch Box was in the suburbs in another direction, even farther away from where she lived.
Originally Zhou Xiyu wanted to go to Kangle for lunch at noon, but now her dream is shattered. The distance is so far and the time for lunch break is not enough.
There was no way to have the Kangle lunch box at noon, so Zhou Xiyu had to eat a fast food meal nearby as usual. She didn’t dislike it when she ate it normally, but after eating the Kangle lunch box yesterday, she was disgusted with the fast food after just one bite.
"Oh my god! Why is this meat so hard? It's so hard to chew."
"I'm speechless. This chicken has no flavor at all. The taste inside is so bland."
"It's so oily and greasy. It makes me feel greasy after just a few bites."
The more Zhou Xiyu ate, the more disgusted she became. She couldn't help but send a message to Liu Hemei to complain.
Zhou Xiyu: [Meimei, the food here is too bad. I miss the Kangle lunch box.]
Zhou Xiyu: [Do you want to go to Kangle lunch box together this afternoon? I really don’t want to eat the food here for dinner. ]
Liu Hemei ate her own food at noon, because she couldn't go to Kangle lunch box for lunch and didn't want to eat at other restaurants, so she cooked her own food. Although the taste of her own food was average, at least it was clean, hygienic and not greasy.
Seeing Zhou Xiyu complaining about the bad food over there, Liu Hemei couldn't help but laugh. She was like this the first time she ate Kangle lunch box, she disliked everything and only wanted to eat Kangle lunch box.
Liu Hemei: [Hahahahaha, I miss Kangle lunch too. I will definitely go to Kangle lunch this afternoon, but are you sure you want to go too?]
It takes 70 minutes to get from Zhou Xiyu's place to Kangle Lunch Box by car, and Zhou Xiyu easily gets carsick, so she suspected that Zhou Xiyu might not really want to go.
Zhou Xiyu: [Let’s go! The lunch boxes are so delicious, why shouldn’t I go! ]
Now Zhou Xiyu’s mind is full of Kangle Box Lunch, and she can’t wait to rush to Kangle Box Restaurant.
Liu Hemei: [Aren’t you afraid of motion sickness? ]
After Liu Hemei reminded her, Zhou Xiyu remembered that she was prone to motion sickness. Zhou Xiyu was prone to motion sickness, especially when riding a bus. She particularly hated the smell of the bus, which made her feel carsick.
But in the past two years, because she often takes the bus to and from work, her motion sickness symptoms have been alleviated a lot. She will not get motion sickness as long as she does not sit for too long. Usually, she will not get motion sickness at all when she takes the bus for 20 minutes to the city, but if it exceeds half an hour, she will start to feel a little dizzy, and if it exceeds an hour, she may vomit.
Zhou Xiyu was a little scared when she thought about motion sickness. Motion sickness is really uncomfortable. Zhou Xiyu started to hesitate, but she thought about it again. She hadn't been motion sick for a long time, maybe she didn't have motion sickness now.
The deliciousness of the boxed lunch in her mind made it impossible for her to make a rational choice. Zhou Xiyu still decided to go to Kangle Boxed Lunch Restaurant after get off work in the afternoon. She really wanted to eat the boxed lunch.
Knowing that Zhou Xiyu was determined to go to the Kanglehe Restaurant, Liu Hemei specifically reminded her: "Remember to bring a bag with you when you take the bus, so that you won't have a place to vomit when you get carsick and want to vomit."
Liu Hemei remembered that when she was in college, she and Zhou Xiyu took a bus to climb a mountain. On the way, Zhou Xiyu felt carsick and wanted to vomit. Unfortunately, there were no plastic bags on the bus, and Zhou Xiyu herself did not bring a plastic bag. Zhou Xiyu wanted to vomit but didn't know where to vomit.
In desperation, Liu Hemei had to take off her hat and let Zhou Xiyu spit into her hat. In this way, Liu Hemei's hat was ruined.
Zhou Xiyu: [Yes, I will remember it. ]
Zhou Xiyu has already thought it through. She not only has to remember to bring a plastic bag, but also some wind oil and orange peels. When she gets carsick, the smell of the wind oil and orange peels will relieve the symptoms.
At six o'clock in the afternoon, the number of votes for Kangle Lunch Box was getting closer and closer to that of Haishi Restaurant, which was in third place.
The first place was Fengling Restaurant with 51,235 votes, the second place was Lihua Hotel with 44,238 votes, the third place was Haishi Restaurant with 37,809 votes, and the fourth place was Kangle Lunch with 36,489 votes.
Everyone was very excited to see that there was only a difference of more than a thousand votes between Kangle Lunch Box and Haishi Restaurant.
Lan Yue Wan Wan: [Wow! You guys are amazing. We are only a little over a thousand away from surpassing the Haishi Grand Restaurant.]
susu in the sun: [Come on! If you haven't voted yet, hurry up and vote now. We will try to surpass Haishi Restaurant today.]
Today is another lucky day: [Everyone go and canvass for votes, maybe today our Kangle lunch box can get third place, come on!!!]
The vote gap became smaller and smaller, and everyone's enthusiasm was instantly ignited. Many people who were not active in voting also clicked on the link to start voting.
Originally, the increase in the number of votes for Kangle Lunch had slowed down in the afternoon, but now with many people canvassing for votes together, the increase in the number of votes became faster again. In less than a short while, Kangle Lunch gained more than 800 votes.
But the number of votes for Haishi Restaurant also increased rapidly, by more than 700 votes, so the gap still could not be narrowed.
I only like the item: [Damn, Haishi Restaurant has also started to exert its strength. It feels a bit difficult to surpass it today! ]
Not too far away: [Don't be afraid, our votes have increased a lot. If everyone works harder, we still have hope of surpassing them today.]
Xiaohua has a bad memory: [Right! Our goal is to surpass Haishi Restaurant and get third place today, so we just need to work hard! ]
With a goal in mind, everyone was motivated and actively campaigned for votes. Some people sent messages to classmates, some to family groups, and some to friends.
While everyone was actively canvassing for votes, Zhou Xiyu was sitting on the bus. Forty minutes had passed, and she didn't feel motion sickness at all.
"Maybe my motion sickness has been cured without any treatment." Zhou Xiyu was a little happy.
Her mother used to be prone to motion sickness, and her degree of motion sickness was even worse than hers. Sometimes she would feel dizzy just a few minutes after getting in the car. Later, her mother's motion sickness symptoms gradually eased. Now her mother almost never gets motion sick, even if she sits for two hours.
Zhou Xiyu suspected that she might be able to completely avoid motion sickness like her mother.
Because Zhou Xiyu suffers from motion sickness, she usually doesn't dare to play with her mobile phone while riding in a car, for fear that it will accelerate her motion sickness. Today, she found that she was not motion sick at all, so she happily took out her mobile phone.
It takes another half an hour to get to the Kangle Box Restaurant. It would be too boring if I didn’t play with my phone.
As soon as she turned on her cell phone, she received a message from Liu Hemei.
Liu Hemei: [Ms. Zhou, are you in the car yet? ]
Liu Hemei: [Ms. Zhou, are you already in the car? I have good news for you. The ticket sales of Kangle Boxed Lunch are only a little over a thousand behind Haishi Restaurant. It will soon surpass Haishi Restaurant.]
Liu Hemei: [Oh, I forgot you are carsick and can’t use your phone. Contact me after you get off the bus.]
When Liu Hemei learned that the number of tickets for Kangle Lunch Box was about to surpass that of Haishi Restaurant, she was very excited and told Zhou Xiyu the news immediately. After sending the message, she remembered that Zhou Xiyu was carsick and did not dare to look at his phone while riding in a car.
She and Zhou Xiyu made an appointment to have dinner at Kangle Box Restaurant together. Since Zhou Xiyu had a long way to go, Liu Hemei had already calculated the time and would leave forty minutes after Zhou Xiyu left.
Zhou Xiyu replied immediately after seeing the message.
Zhou Xiyu: [I’m already halfway there, and I’ll arrive in half an hour.]
Zhou Xiyu: [Kangle lunch box is amazing! Maybe it can surpass Haishi Restaurant tonight. ]
Liu Hemei was a little surprised when she received Zhou Xiyu's message.
Liu Hemei: [How dare you play with your phone in the car? Aren’t you afraid of motion sickness? ]
Zhou Xiyu replied with a proud look on her face: [I have good news for you. I don’t get carsick anymore. ]
Liu Hemei: [Are you sure you don’t get carsick anymore? You’d better be careful. What if you get carsick again? ]
Liu Hemei was a little bit unconvinced that Zhou Xiyu’s motion sickness had recovered, so she specifically reminded Zhou Xiyu to be careful.
Zhou Xiyu didn't care: [It's okay, I'm fine now. ]
It feels good not to get carsick. I feel relaxed and can play with my phone at will.
Zhou Xiyu, who was bored in the car, started to check her phone. She specially took a look at the voting situation of Kangle Lunch Box. Currently, Kangle Lunch Box was less than a thousand votes behind Haishi Restaurant, and the gap was getting smaller and smaller.
Netizens in the comment section are very active and are all working hard to get third place.
In fact, as long as everyone is motivated, the third place goal is easy to achieve. Zhou Xiyu thought of the first place goal he wanted, but it was a pity that no one else had the first place goal, otherwise he could really rush for the first place.
Zhou Xiyu counted the votes between Kangle Lunch Box and the first place again. Currently, there is only 15,000 votes difference. Today, he recovered another 3,000 votes, and the gap is getting smaller and smaller.
"Why doesn't anyone want to get first place? There is clearly a chance."
Zhou Xiyu sighed, closed the voting page, and continued to watch his favorite funny videos.
As he watched, Zhou Xiyu suddenly felt a little uncomfortable and his head became heavy.
Damn it, this is a sign of motion sickness!
Zhou Xiyu was so scared that she quickly turned off her phone, raised her head and looked straight ahead. She heard that people who get carsick should look forward, as looking to the side will make them more likely to get carsick.
My head felt heavy and I started to sweat. The symptoms of motion sickness became more and more serious.
Zhou Xiyu regretted playing with her phone. She blamed herself for being too cocky. She quickly took out Fengyoujing and orange peel from her bag, poured a little Fengyoujing under her nose, and then smelled the orange peel. Smelling the cool and stimulating smell, she felt a little better. Zhou Xiyu breathed a sigh of relief, hoping to hold on until she got off the bus.
It will take about fifteen minutes to reach the destination.
"Hold on, there are still fifteen minutes left, we'll be there soon!"
Zhou Xiyu kept smelling the scent of Fengyoujing. Once the scent became lighter, she would smell the odor of motion sickness. She would immediately apply some on it and feel a little better.
When you are carsick, time seems to pass very slowly. You may think that ten minutes have passed after sitting for half a day, but when you look up, you find that only five minutes have passed.
There are still about ten minutes left. Now Zhou Xiyu just hopes that time can pass faster. Every second is torture. He is afraid that he will not be able to bear it and vomit.
Another five minutes passed, and there were still five minutes to reach the destination. Zhou Xiyu saw hope and felt that she should be able to hold on.
She opened the Fengyoujing, poured a little and rubbed it on her nose, took a deep breath, and the coolness went straight to her brain through her nose. Under the stimulation of the coolness, Zhou Xiyu felt a little more energetic.
She stared ahead with eyes wide open, repeating to herself, "We're almost there, just hold on a little longer."
When she thought she could reach the destination if she just held on a little longer, an electric bike suddenly appeared in front of her and ran a red light, and the bus braked suddenly. The feeling of motion sickness came over her instantly, and Zhou Xiyu felt like she was about to vomit. She quickly took out the plastic bag she had prepared in advance from her bag, but she didn't vomit in the end. However, she felt extremely uncomfortable, an indescribable discomfort.
After holding on for a while, the stop was finally reached. Zhou Xiyu rushed off the bus. As soon as she got off the bus, she couldn't bear it any longer, so she opened the plastic bag, squatted on the ground and started vomiting.
Liu Hemei, who arrived at the bus stop in advance, ran over and said, "Oh my God! You are carsick again."
Liu Hemei patted Zhou Xiyu's back and asked, "Do you feel better after vomiting?"
It was indeed much more comfortable after spitting out. Zhou Xiyu took out a tissue to wipe his mouth, then took a breath of fresh air and slowly recovered.
"Rinse your mouth first." Liu Hemei took out a bottle of mineral water and handed it to Zhou Xiyu.
Zhou Xiyu rinsed her mouth twice to clear the vomit, and she felt a little better. But she still felt a little tired and lacked energy.
"Hey, I told you not to come. Motion sickness is very uncomfortable. Why don't you sit down and have a rest first, and then we can go to the Heya Restaurant." Liu Hemei asked Zhou Xiyu to sit on the bench at the bus stop and rest for a while.
"Fortunately, I feel much better after vomiting." Zhou Xiyu tried to open his eyes wide and make himself more alert.
Zhou Xiyu sat on the stool and rested for a while. When he felt a little more comfortable, he stood up and said, "Let's go to the Hedian Restaurant."
She had come here with great difficulty, and her purpose was to eat lunch.
"Okay, let's go over there."
Walking on the road, feeling the breeze, Zhou Xiyu became more and more energetic.
"Oh, it's really painful. I just wanted to have a box lunch, but I'm exhausted." Zhou Xiyu was already in a good mood to tease himself.
Liu Hemei: "You can still laugh, it seems you have really recovered."
When they arrived at the Hezi restaurant, Liu Hemei asked Zhou Xiyu to sit down while she queued up alone. But Zhou Xiyu felt that standing was more comfortable than sitting, and she wanted to stand to refresh herself, so she stood and queued up with Liu Hemei.
"It's okay. We'll have delicious lunch boxes in a while. We'll feel energetic after eating the delicious lunch boxes." Liu Hemei said.
"It's possible. I can smell the aroma of food now. It seems to be the aroma of fish and chicken. I feel much more energetic."
The lunch box restaurant was filled with various aromas. Surrounded by the fragrance, the painful feeling of motion sickness slowly disappeared.
"It smells so good!" Every time I take a breath of the fragrance, I feel more energetic.
After waiting for a while, it was finally their turn.
Liu Hemei ordered curry chicken, oyster omelette and tiger skin green peppers.
"Xiyu, you like seafood, so you can order the stir-fried mango snails. The stir-fried pork intestines are also delicious." As an old customer of the Heyu restaurant, Liu Hemei enthusiastically recommended dishes to Zhou Xiyu, a new customer.
Zhou Xiyu followed Liu Hemei's advice and ordered stir-fried mango snails and dry-fried pork intestines, as well as mapo tofu. After vomiting due to motion sickness, her stomach was now empty and she urgently needed to replenish her energy, so she wanted to order another dish.
At this time, Zhou Xiyu saw that there was soup next to her. Soup is the best thing to drink when you are feeling low, so she ordered a bowl of seaweed and pork soup.
Zhou Xiyu carried the food and couldn't wait to find a seat to sit down.
As soon as he sat down, Zhou Xiyu raised the bowl and took a big sip. The warm soup filled his entire mouth and went down his throat. It was moist and sweet.
After taking a sip of the delicious soup, Zhou Xiyu felt radiant and his eyes became two shades brighter.
“So comfortable!”
The soup base is clear, warm, and sweet.
Zhou Xiyu tasted the seaweed in his mouth, which had a rich and fresh flavor. He then took a bite of the thin slice of meat, which was tender and juicy.
She lifted the bowl and took a sip; it was refreshing and sweet, leaving a lasting aftertaste.
“This soup is delicious!”
"My curry chicken is also delicious, with a very strong curry flavor." Liu Hemei ate curry chicken happily.
Zhou Xiyu looked at the stir-fried mango snails in front of him, picked up one and started eating. The mango snails were tender, spicy and tasted great.
After eating the mango snails, Zhou Xiyu had the stir-fried pork intestines, which were crispy and chewy. Then she had the mapo tofu, which was tender and fragrant.
After eating a box lunch, Zhou Xiyu felt refreshed and the fatigue from motion sickness disappeared without a trace.
At this moment, Zhou Xiyu felt that it was worth it even if he got carsick.
"It was a great meal. The food in this box restaurant is really delicious." Zhou Xiyu spoke with full energy after eating.
"Would you like to come next time? Are you afraid of motion sickness?" Liu Hemei said jokingly.
When it comes to motion sickness, Zhou Xiyu is still afraid. The feeling of motion sickness is so uncomfortable that it feels like death is worse than death.
After discussion, Zhou Xiyu and Liu Hemei agreed that she could have boxed lunches twice a week. Liu Hemei would buy them for her, and she could just take the bus to Liu Hemei's place to eat.
It was almost eight o'clock when the two finished their lunch boxes. In order to avoid motion sickness again, Zhou Xiyu first took a bus to Liu Hemei's house to rest for a while before taking a bus back home.
Although she wasn’t very carsick, she still felt a little tired after sitting in a car for a long time. Zhou Xiyu went back to take a shower and go to bed.
At 11:30 in the evening, Kangle Lunch's votes surpassed Haishi Restaurant and came in third place.
Ahhhh-Drunk: [Oh my god! Our lunch box restaurant finally got to third place!!!]
Durian-flavored fish balls: [Awesome! So awesome!!! I thought it would be surpassed tomorrow, but I didn’t expect it to be surpassed today.]
Luck is coming towards me: [Not bad, not bad~ Everyone, keep it up, we just need to hold on to the third place until the voting ends. ]
