The director had just finished his announcement.
The result was not what she expected, and Zheng Baiqing's expression froze on her face.
However, when facing the camera, she quickly adjusted herself, immediately smiled, looked at Lin Xue, and started congratulating her: "Wow, Xiaoxue, congratulations to your group C for taking first place today."
Lin Xue also responded with a smile: "Thank you."
Then, Zheng Baiqing raised her head calmly and asked, "Director, I would like to ask, is there a big difference in sales between our Group B and Group C?"
"Please tell us so that we can have a better idea of what's going on."
There is nothing to keep secret. The theme of the show is that the guests compete with each other, and the production team would like to see more sense of crisis among the guests.
So the director answered very straightforwardly: "Oh, your group B is 1,500 yuan less than their group C."
“…”
Now, Zheng Baiqing's mood became even more complicated.
Originally, she thought that with their nearly four thousand sales today, they would definitely be firmly in the top spot.
After all, their sales volume was only 3,000 yesterday, the first day, but they still took first place.
As a result, who could have imagined that not only were they not ranked first, but they were actually 1,500 yuan behind Group C which ranked first.
It would be fine if it was less than others, but there was a full 1,500 yuan difference!
This gap made Zheng Baiqing unwilling to believe and accept it.
How could that be? How could that be?
How could there be such a big difference?
The guests from Group C sat on the three-person sofa on the far right. Zheng Baiqing moved her butt to Lin Xue's side and held Lin Xue's arm affectionately: "Xiaoxue, how did you do this? You're amazing."
"Did you come up with a new menu?"
Zheng Baiqing smiled, but her mind was constantly working.
She couldn't wait to know how Group C achieved a sales volume of over 5,000.
Lin Xue shook her head: "No, we haven't touched the menu."
Energy is limited and is not enough to support changing the menu every day. Moreover, frequent menu changes when a restaurant opens is not conducive to consolidating new customers.
Zheng Baiqing blinked: "That is——"
Lin Xue did not hide anything and took out a detailed sales bill from her pocket and handed it to Zheng Baiqing.
Zheng Baiqing took it and looked at it carefully.
Then.
Then I heard her shocked voice coming from the huge living room of the small western-style building: "Why is there WestJet Steak in your group!?"
Zheng Baiqing stared at the detailed list with wide eyes.
She saw that it was clearly written that more than a dozen WestJet steaks were sold, and it was this dish that accounted for the bulk of the total sales.
As mentioned before, the ingredients used by the three groups of guest restaurants on the first day of opening were sponsored by the program team.
Among the sponsored ingredients is WestJet steak.
On the opening day, this dish sold very well and many customers ordered it.
Zheng Baiqing and Qunjie had naturally analyzed it and wanted to focus on making this dish the restaurant's main dish.
But there was no way. The quantity provided by the program team was very small, and the stock was quickly sold out within a day.
Moreover, WestJet steaks are imported through the cold chain and are not available in ordinary vegetable markets in China.
Therefore, the idea of promoting WestJet steak had to be abandoned.
The quantity of ingredients provided by the program team is uniform, and the standards are unified and accurate to grams.
According to what Zheng Baiqing learned secretly, the restaurants in Group C also sold out WestJet steaks on the first day.
So, where do they get the inventory from?
Zheng Baiqing: "Could you buy WestJet steak at the market you went to this morning?"
If that's the case, then there's hope for their Group B's main dish. Zheng Baiqing's eyes lit up.
"Um, this is from Group A's guest group. Sheng Yuan and the others sold it to us."
As soon as these words came out.
Huh? ? ? Including the production crew present, everyone looked in the same direction for a moment.
Suddenly reacted.
Yes, the sponsored ingredients are not collected, but are placed in the refrigerators of the three restaurants by the program team early in the morning.
Therefore, it is not only the guests in Group B and C who have ingredients sponsored by the program team.
Group A, there are also some.
It’s just that in the subjective consciousness, everyone only sees the two groups of guests B and C, and subconsciously ignores the guests in group A who haven’t even opened their business.
“…”
Sheng Yuan sat on the sofa with her hands in her pockets, not caring that she became the focus for a second.
The little face was expressionless, and the voice was lazy: "Yeah, it's us, what's wrong?"
Although Shi Yan beside him did not speak, his cold face perfectly replicated Sheng Yuan's words.
“…”
Next second.
In the quiet living room, the director's incredulous voice was the first to ring out: "When did you sell the steaks!?"
Why didn't he know? No one told him! The director's hands were shaking as he held the script: "You haven't even opened a restaurant yet! How can you sell steaks?!"
The director spoke in a high-pitched tone, as if selling steak was an unforgivable sin.
Sheng Yuan looked innocent: "Hey, doesn't the rule say that guests can't sell ingredients?"
The director choked: “No, I didn’t say that.”
Sheng Yuan raised an eyebrow: "The closure of the restaurant doesn't seem to affect the sale of steaks."
"Does the rule say that you can't sell if you're not open for business?"
Before the director could choke again.
Sheng Yuan spread his hands and said in a natural tone: "Besides, we not only sold steaks, but also basically sold everything else."
All sold, sold, sold out…these words kept repeating in the director’s mind.
Lin Xue paused and raised her hand: "Yes, we bought them all."
After all, the variety of ingredients provided by the program team is completely impeccable, so why refuse?
director:"……"
Group A live broadcast room barrage area——
【Hahahahahahahahahahahaha, why do I feel like the director is about to have a myocardial infarction and is rolling his eyes.】
[What we are saying is that Sister Sheng’s main point is that if you give it to me, it’s ours, and we can sell it if we want, there’s nothing wrong with that!!]
[At this moment, the director was thinking: Why! Why! Why is this sentence so familiar? But she definitely did not break the rules! Because, who the hell would have thought that she would sell food ingredients!!]
【……】
at the same time.
Among the staff, two photographers were setting up their cameras and shivering in the corner.
They were the photographers assigned by the director to follow Sheng Yuan and Shi Yan yesterday.
The director didn’t know when the ingredients were sold by Sheng Yuan and the others.
But they probably know.
That is why they tremble.
——The time goes back to yesterday morning.
