The Spirit of Gourmet

Chapter 114 Qin Lang's New Tactics
Poached eggs cooked in boiling water don't have much of a base flavor, but the eggs Qin Lang chose were of excellent quality, with no fishy smell at all and an exceptionally rich egg aroma. They were equally delicious when eaten with plain noodles.

After eating, everyone praised it highly, and Old Zhou even shamelessly asked Qin Lang if he could add two eggs to his next bowl of plain noodles.

Only when the employees and stall owners were all so full they couldn't eat anymore did everyone finally calm down and start talking about serious business.

"Mr. Qin, what's that machine you set up in front of our stall for?" asked Mr. Liu, the owner of the mixed sesame cake stall.

"Yes, I wanted to ask that too. I came here early this morning and found a new machine next to my stall." Another stall owner nodded in agreement.

"This is a queuing machine." Qin Lang smiled as he stepped out of his stall. There was another machine in front of his stall as well. "According to my estimate, the foot traffic in the food area may increase further today."

"There will be long queues at each stall, so I asked someone to prepare this to avoid chaos."

"Look, you just need to press this line to get a ticket." As he spoke, Qin Lang pressed a button on the machine.

The machine quickly printed out a receipt.

The sign above reads "S001," and below it, in smaller print, it says, "0 people are ahead in line, estimated wait time is 0 minutes."

"The serial number on the receipt indicates the order in which you queue, and the first letter indicates the corresponding stall."

"This way, diners don't need to queue in long lines; they just need to wait for their number to be called and get to the corresponding stall in time."

Everyone's eyes lit up immediately.

“That’s a good idea,” one of the stall owners chuckled. “There are so many lines in front of our stall that sometimes they even block our view, making it hard for later customers to know what we sell.”

"With this queuing machine, there won't be so many diners gathering in front of the stalls anymore."

“That’s wonderful.” One of the female stall owners couldn’t help but smile. “I get so nervous every time there’s a long line in front of my stall.”

The food she makes involves some complicated processes and takes a relatively long time to prepare. Seeing many people waiting always gives her a sense of inexplicable urgency.

The other stall owners nodded in agreement.

With everyone's stalls clustered together, the long queues created a chaotic scene and could even pose safety hazards.

This method is simple, but no one had ever thought of it before.

"Not only that!" an amusement park employee suddenly exclaimed excitedly, "If diners don't need to queue after taking a number, where will they wait?"

Upon hearing this, the other employees' eyes lit up as well.

In order not to miss their turn, they couldn't go too far, so the amusement park next door became a great place to kill time!

Seeing that everyone understood his intention, Qin Lang smiled slightly.

"The loudspeakers in amusement parks can also be used to call out numbers."

"In this way, no matter where you are in the amusement park, you can hear the number being called, thus allowing you to manage your time effectively."

“Absolutely no problem!” one of the veteran employees in charge of the amusement park’s broadcasting chuckled. “I can make the decision without the park manager even having to say a word.”

"You old bastard." Ye Zhen glared at the other person with feigned anger, but there was a hint of a smile on his face.

It seems that this old guy's thinking is indeed a bit outdated.

Qin Lang's series of interconnected ideas were absolutely brilliant, making him applaud in admiration.

"The amusement park will be opening soon, let's all do our best."

Leaving a few words behind, Ye Zhen hummed a little tune and returned to the amusement park ticket gate to continue his job as the old gatekeeper. He was really looking forward to the lively scene today!
Good morning, my fans! I'm your favorite Zaozao!

As a sweet voice rang out, a beautiful young girl held a selfie stick and gave the camera a cute wink.

Seeing the flood of comments praising her, Yu Zaozao's smile widened even more. "It's nine in the morning now, guess where I am?"

"Ta-da!" Before the fans in the live stream could respond, she turned the selfie stick camera around so that the fans could see the surrounding scenery.

"It's the 'Happy Party' amusement park in our Bailushan City!"

As Yu Zaozao finished speaking, a line of comments flashed across the screen.

[Dahaixyz: I'm also from Bailushan City. This amusement park was alright a few years ago, but nobody goes there anymore, right? I heard there was even an accident there.]

Upon hearing this local fan's comment, a barrage of comments quickly appeared, with many fans suggesting that Yu should go live in another place as soon as possible.

"Thank you for your concern, but it's alright!" Yu Zaozao's smile remained unchanged, clearly having anticipated this situation. "Because the anchor didn't come here to ride the amusement park rides this time."

"It's for the food here!" Yu Zaozao patted her thin chest, looking very confident. "I'm a well-known food vlogger on Nico Nico Douga!"

However, the comments section wasn't buying it. Phrases like "a mukbang where you're full after three bites" and "eating only one meal a day" appeared repeatedly, making Yu Zaozao puff out her cheeks in anger. She muttered things like "as long as you eat, it counts as a mukbang" and "you don't understand mukbang," filling the live stream with a cheerful atmosphere.

"You haters!" Rolling her eyes and ignoring the haters' comments, Yu Zaozao focused on a questioning comment.

[Purple Fatty: Are there really food options in amusement parks? The food at the amusement parks I've been to before was... well, let's just say it was barely edible.]

In fact, many fans have raised similar questions.

Yu Zaozao smiled slightly, "Of course I have my doubts too. In fact, the reason I am here today is because I saw an article in the online magazine of 'Gourmet House' yesterday."

"It's the very first article in the latest issue."

"If you're interested, you can take a look. After you've seen it, I believe you'll understand why I came here."

The barrage paused for a moment, and then sporadic comments appeared.

[First Eye: Really? Such simple ingredients can make the amazing food that's been praised to the skies?]

[Hidden meaning: I don't really believe it either, so is Zaozao going to debunk it today?]

"Uh..." Yu Zaozao scratched her head, "If I try it and it doesn't taste that good, maybe it'll turn into a live stream exposing fake products?"

"But if it's really delicious, then it'll be a food recommendation live stream!" Yu Zaozao puffed out her chest and said confidently.

"I am Yu Zaozao, a mukbang streamer!"

Ignoring the barrage of sarcastic comments, Yu Zaozao looked towards the ticket gate and exclaimed, "Ah! The amusement park is open!"

"I've already bought the tickets in advance, and I'm just waiting to go in and enjoy the food!"

As she spoke, Yu Zaozao took out another phone, pulled out a screenshot of the online ticket booking, and waved it in front of the selfie stick.

After a while…

"Huh? Free entry to the food area?!"
