It must be an illusion, definitely an illusion!
Even the most honest and law-abiding women, like Aunt He, showed this fiery glint in their eyes, and Xu An felt a sense of unease. Something was wrong. Something was wrong with this group of people. There were bad people among them, some troublemakers who wanted to harm me!
Although she sensed something was wrong, the event had to continue. Xu An handed the collected cards to Tang Wen for counting, and then they moved on to the third part of the day, a prize-winning promotional activity that Tang Wen had planned and added.
Cough cough ————
Xu An coughed twice forcefully to draw everyone's attention to himself before revealing a bright smile and asking, "Did everyone enjoy the meal today?"
Amidst the scattered cries of "enjoying it to the fullest," the few shouts of "not enough to eat" sounded particularly jarring; this was exactly what Xu An was waiting for.
"I hear that quite a few people haven't had enough to eat yet, so would you all like to eat more?"
"think!"
"Next, we have a small event. It's all voluntary, and everyone who wants to participate can get a free pound of braised food blind box." Xu An said with a mysterious smile. "One of the blind boxes contains a mysterious new flavor of braised food that will only be revealed when we open the day after tomorrow!"
The previously mentioned one-pound blind box of braised food was already very attractive, but when they heard that there were also braised dishes with a mysterious flavor inside, everyone instantly became excited and urged Xu An to announce the details of the event.
Xu An stretched out his hands and pressed down in the air. After the noise in the room gradually subsided, he took out his phone, opened the Dayan app, and showed it to everyone: "Xu's Fast Food Restaurant has registered an official account called Xu's Catering. As long as everyone here posts their tasting experience on the Dayan app and tags our official account, they can receive braised food from me."
Just as Xu An was speaking, Zhang Dezhen and Li Xindong carried two insulated boxes and placed them in front of Xu An. The boxes were filled with braised food that was tightly packed in lunch boxes and plastic bags.
Liu Zhaowen and Liu Tong, who were initially hesitant, became incredibly excited upon seeing the packaged braised food. Their thoughts flowed freely, and in less than five minutes they had edited their tasting notes, attached photos, and sent them out.
Xu An checked his phone and saw the number of followers on his account increase by a few each time he refreshed it, quickly reaching sixty-six. But the number didn't stop there. Some friends and fans who had followed the sixty-six accounts saw the update, clicked on Xu's Catering's account, and, seeing the upcoming opening event, immediately followed them. The number of followers continued to rise until it reached eighty-nine, at which point the growth rate slowed down.
These 89 people, as long as Xu An doesn't do anything reckless, will most likely become die-hard fans of Xu's Catering account!
Free advertising, how wonderful! Xu An put away his phone with satisfaction and began distributing the event rewards to everyone. All sixty-six portions of braised food prepared were distributed, not a single one more or less. Even those without a DaYan account, like Aunt He, registered one with Liu Zhaowen's help and shared their thoughts.
At this moment, Tang Wen, who was in charge of compiling the ranking of the most popular braised dishes, came up from the first floor, walked straight to Xu An, and handed him a form with a strange expression. "Boss, the data has been compiled. But there's a small problem."
Tang Wen's hesitant expression made Xu An's bad feeling resurface. He reached out and took the freshly printed A4 paper from Tang Wen's hand, which was still warm and smelled of ink. Xu An stared at it intently.
First place: Spicy duck feet, 43 votes;
Second place: Spicy large intestine, 39 votes;
Third place: Five Spices
Tenth place: Sichuan peppercorn chicken wing tips, seventeen votes;
Eleventh place: Braised chicken feet with soy sauce, seventeen votes;
From tenth to fourteenth place, all of them received a neat seventeen votes!
Looking at the statistical list, Xu An finally understood where his earlier unease had come from. These people had actually found a loophole that wasn't even a loophole—how infuriating!
While the interpretation of the activity is up to the individual, refusing seems like a sign of being a sore loser. Although there are still fourteen different flavors of braised dishes, that's a full thirteen fewer than the initial twenty-seven, so we should be content.
"There was a slight surprise in the voting results. The five braised dishes ranked tenth to fourteenth received the same number of votes." Xu An paused for a moment to whet everyone's appetite before finishing his sentence, "Therefore, Xu's Braised Food Shop will have a total of fourteen braised dishes to choose from!"
Alas----
Screams and cheers erupted on the second floor. They were not only happy that the braised food shop would have fourteen kinds of braised dishes to buy, but also happy that their wicked plan had succeeded.
What followed was regret. If they had known that all the braised dishes with the same vote could be added to the menu, they would have definitely planned ahead to keep all twenty-seven dishes with the same number of votes! How infuriating!
Finally, this grand feast of 108 braised dishes, comprising 27 different types and four flavors, came to a perfect close with a group photo of 70 people.
