BXBX NOVEL Chapter 265 - 265 Dark Horse
In the end, Yibu didn’t order another Crab Roe Fried Rice.
Because during the queueing process of the two girls to taste, the long line behind them had already made it impossible to see the end at a glance.
Even though Qin Lang had significantly improved his speed of serving food guests, they would still have to wait for over twenty minutes if they were to re-queue.
The two girls had plans to taste some new dishes tonight, so they decided to come back next time.
However, after tasting the upgraded version of Crab Roe Fried Rice, Yibu seemed to have turned on some strange switch.
During the subsequent tasting of other dishes, Yibu no longer rejected spicy food, but instead actively requested to taste it with Little Orange.
Although a slight spiciness would make her face red and pant heavily, Yibu seemed to be irresistibly drawn to the food, repeating this process in front of her fans in the live streaming room, resulting in an explosive show.
Qin Lang, who was too busy to even clone himself, would not know about Yibu’s newly acquired taste for spicy food after trying the spicy version of Crab Roe Fried Rice.
Nighttime business was better than daytime.
On weekdays, more customers came in the evening than during the day. Knowing that Qin Lang had improved his Crab Roe Fried Rice, those who had tried it before decided to come again.
Both new and old food guests arrived, leaving Qin Lang’s stall in a rather awkward situation.
He sold out of ingredients.
Even though he had prepared more ingredients than for the afternoon session, the ingredients for the Crab Roe Fried Rice sold out before the end of the third session.
Luckily, there were only several minutes left before the end, so the impact was minimal.
The remaining guests, disappointed, chose to take away the Gravy Seafood instead.
This caused the Gravy Seafood, which was normally not sold out in one night, to disappear at an extremely fast rate, leaving the glass cylinders empty.
“Ding ”
The sound of the electric bell echoed over the deck of the “Yueyu Cruise Ship,” signaling the end of the third session.
“Last pound, just right.” The last guest standing before Qin Lang laughed, taking a pound of Gravy Seafood from Qin Lang. “I’ll come and line up earlier tomorrow, I must try this Crab Roe Fried Rice!”
“I’ll prepare more for tomorrow.” Qin Lang wiped sweat he didn’t have from his forehead, heaving a sigh of relief while looking at his stall, which was now left with only empty glass cylinders.
It was horrifying.
He thought that improving the Crab Roe Fried Rice at night would have some impact on its sales and had even prepared for leftovers.
Unexpectedly, there was indeed an impact, but it was completely opposite to what he had anticipated.
It was already a weekend tomorrow and the day after, and the customer flow would be even more terrifying than today. It seems he needs to prepare more ingredients as compared to tonight.
Seeing the customers leaving under the guidance of the staff, Qin Lang smiled.
During tonight’s business, the majority of the guests stated that the new Crab Roe Fried Rice was more delicious, which was enough to prove that his improvement was a success.
However, different voices also existed.
A small number of guests expressed that the new dish was tasty, but they preferred the original taste.
So, Qin Lang had a new idea.
That was to provide two versions of Crab Roe Fried Rice for guests to choose from during tomorrow’s business.
The reason why this was not done today was mainly due to the limitations of the cooking environment.
Each time Crab Roe Fried Rice was fried, a large pot was required. To provide different versions, two different types of Crab Roe needed to be fried.
This required two stoves, but Qin Lang’s stall car only had one.
It should not be a problem to add another stove temporarily after negotiating with the staff tomorrow.
He can also prepare Crab Vinegar for guests with different tastes to add by themselves.
Previously, he didn’t add vinegar mainly because he was already busy, and adding another workload would be too much. After all, different guests have different tastes, and asking each of them “Do you want vinegar?” would waste a lot of time.
However, after learning about the situation of other vendors from his customers tonight, Qin Lang realized that this issue could be easily solved by simply leaving it to the customers.
Just place the vinegar on the table, label it “Add at your own discretion,” and let the customers handle it themselves.
If they like vinegar, they can add more, if they don’t, they can add less or not add at all. Even if their cooking skills aren’t good, it’s not too difficult for the customers to handle this simple task.
He still lacks experience in managing a stall!
“Spirit Chefs, hello everyone!”
While Qin Lang was pondering, the customers staying on the deck had already left in an orderly manner under the guidance of the staff, leaving only the stall owners and their stalls.
Ye Cangqing’s gentle voice echoed throughout the deck with the help of the loudspeaker, attracting everyone’s attention to the High Platform at the center of the deck.
“The first day of operations is over, I saw your hard work, and also saw the satisfied smiles of the customers.” Ye Cangqing said with a smile, “Thank you for your hard work.”
“I trust that you have all gained something from this hard work.”
“Now, I will announce the ranking of the Leaping Fish Banquet on the first day!”
Here it comes!
All the Spirit Chefs’ hearts skipped a beat.
Although a temporary ranking is announced after each session, the ticket ranking on the first day is obviously more important.
“The ranking of the Youth Group is as follows.” Ye Cangqing slightly paused.
A look of anticipation flashed across Qin Lang’s face.
Judging from the feedback received from the improved Crab Roe Fried Rice, he should still be in the first place. However, it’s still unclear what the exact number of votes is.
“First Place, Qin Lang, 10,232 votes!”
This horrifying number of votes caused a gasp from the other Spirit Chefs.
At the end of the second session, Qin Lang’s votes were barely close to four thousand, but he managed to garner more than six thousand votes in just the third session alone?!
He has broken the ten-thousand mark!
Qin Lang took a deep breath, a joyful expression playing across his face.
As for the reason for the sudden increase in votes, he had vaguely guessed it.
It’s because of the improved Crab Roe Fried Rice!
Each guest received one vote each time they boarded the ship, so the same guest could receive up to three votes on the first day.
This is why the number of votes increases over time, as old customers also vote for their favourite food with their newly acquired votes.
Improving the food, and successfully at that, naturally garnered more votes from the old customers.
Not caring about the whispers below, Ye Cangqing on the high platform calmly spoke, “Second Place, Shen Qian, 4,256 votes!”
“Yay!” On the other side of the deck, a nervous Shen Qian waved her hand excitedly.
After the third session, her votes had doubled, and this already made her very satisfied.
Then, Ye Cangqing continued to announce the ticket rankings of the other Spirit Chefs in the Youth Group. Bai Hongrui was still third, but the gap between him and Shen Qian had widened to over five hundred votes.
After announcing the ranking of the Youth Group, Ye Cangqing began to announce the ranking of the All-age Group.
With just one sentence, an uproar broke out on the deck.
“First Place, Luo Xian, 10,023 votes.”
