Have you ever seen glowing food? That's why you draw a food-themed anime.

After hanging up with Jiang Mingzhu, I noticed that everyone in the store was looking at me.

Although they hadn't been eavesdropping intentionally, they had overheard a few keywords: "food festival".

By this time, everyone had accepted that the store was about to become famous.

Although I felt sad that I might not be able to get the food from that amazing little shop soon, I also felt a sense of pride and joy.

"Mr. Xu, are you going to participate in the Songnan University Food Festival?"

"Yes, I just received the notification." Xu Zhou didn't hide anything.

"That's great! We'll all go and support you!"

"it is good."

"Will they prepare extra food then? We'll definitely vote for Boss Xu!"

"Preparing ingredients?"

Xu Zhou thought for a moment and said, "I will try to prepare more. The portion size of the fast mackerel burger patty set meal in the store may be reduced next week."

After all, this is the cheapest dish.

The other dishes are too expensive; college students may not be able to afford them.

"Ah, no!"

Customers who came specifically for the fast-food mackerel set meal couldn't help but groan in despair.

"Boss, can't you add a few more servings every day?"

"Yes, there are only a few portions, which is definitely not enough!"

Although they managed to buy two portions today, the thought of not being able to eat them for the next few days made them unhappy.

Many people were still hungry, so they had to grit their teeth and order other dishes.

"Boss, one imitation barbecue dish, please! I'm going all out today!"

"I'd like an oyster congee. I've already tried the other two dishes through the group purchase, so this congee is all that's left."

Those who still had spare cash started lining up.

After hearing their order, Xu Zhou started cooking.

soon.

As the Ozol bacon is fried in oil, the aroma of the fruity wood left from the roasting process is released along with the fragrant oil.

It instantly whetted the appetites of the others.

Apart from the most expensive beef, the other dishes were quickly snapped up.

The customers who managed to grab the food didn't hesitate to cut open the imitation barbecue dish and pour the golden potatoes, soaked in meat juices, onto their rice.

"You guys don't understand, do you? This is called a new way of eating!"

The speaker was beaming with pride, mixing mashed potatoes soaked in meat juices into the rice, and then placing the mackerel burger patty on top of the rice.

Take one bite.

The aroma of oil and mackerel is incredibly rich, and when paired with rice mixed with mashed potatoes, the intense meaty flavor hits you right in the head.

It's not only rich, but also not greasy because the sauce in the hamburger patty is refreshing.

My mouth was greasy from all the food, but my body felt incredibly comfortable, as if my soul was floating on clouds.

"too delicious!"

"Awesome! This is the feeling!"

Many people followed suit, eating until their faces were flushed and they were thoroughly enjoying themselves.

...

the other side.

Su's Imperial Kitchen.

Although it was past lunchtime, customers with both money and free time continued to flock to the restaurant.

This is also the place most favored by wealthy customers in the entire Songnan City, where you can see prominent figures from Songnan City everywhere.

"Director Jiang, this way please."

"Lawyer Wang? You're here for dinner too? This way, please. A private room has been reserved for you."

Amidst the clinking of glasses and lively conversation, Jiang Wen hurriedly moved between the various private rooms.

Check the dining situation of VIP customers.

"How about it?"

"Sous Chef Jiang, there's no problem here."

The waiter at the door replied quietly, "In the past few days, most customers have given positive reviews to the Snow Melting Soup, saying that our dish is very good."

"Ah That's good."

Jiang Wen breathed a sigh of relief: "What about the other dishes?"

"The other dishes also received positive reviews."

The waiter smiled and said, "Don't worry, everyone says our Snow Melting Soup is light and delicious."

"Ah."

Jiang Wen finally felt relieved, and a smile appeared on his face.

Perhaps what I heard from those two VIP users a few days ago was just an isolated incident.

This probably doesn't represent everyone.

This dish has already been tested by many people, and professionals have given it high marks.

I was so confused. How could I have cared about a few casual comments for so long?

Jiang Wen's confidence returned somewhat, and he prepared to go to another private room to inquire about the dishes.

suddenly.

A young chef ran over, phone in hand, his eyes darting around nervously.

"master!"

"..."

"I have something to tell you."

He was panting heavily, his eyes filled with panic.

"event!"

"What important matter has made you run around like this?"

Seeing him out of breath and with his hair all messed up, Jiang Wen frowned deeply: "Our store targets the high-end market. What will customers think if they see you looking like this?"

"I was wrong, Master."

"How many times have I told you to pay attention to the details!"

Jiang Wen paused, looking at his nervous expression as he held his phone, and casually asked, "What exactly happened? Tell me."

"Our store has been removed from the recommended list by Grandpa Jiang!"

Chapter 46 Fast Food Mackerel Burger Meal Upgrade

Su Wen didn't react at first when he heard the news.

"It got taken down? Oh, you mean the ads in the recommended list on my profile page in the Food Association branch app expired?"

The "Recommended" list on the personal page of the "Songnan Branch" app is actually a disguised advertising area.

Many shops will proactively pay money in exchange for recommendations.

The Su family's Imperial Kitchen is certainly not short of money.

"Don't bother me with such trivial matters."

"Just contact Grandpa Jiang again to buy the advertising space again," Jiang Wen said, frowning.

"I've already contacted them."

Liu Fang lowered his head: "But Grandpa Jiang took back that advertising space and put up a new shop instead."

"They opened a new store?" Jiang Wen was somewhat incredulous.

In Songnan City, a city with a population of one million, Su's Imperial Cuisine Restaurant ranks tenth.

"They gave our store's advertising slot to a new store? And which new store paid more?"

"without……"

Liu Fang said cautiously, "I didn't receive any money."

Jiang Wen looked dazed.

So does that mean that Grandpa Jiang is giving up the advertising fees from his own store to promote the new store for free?

is it possible?

Who would forgo making money to give free publicity to a new store?

...

Liu Fang opened his phone and found Jiang Yonghua's personal page from the Songnan City Food Association.

now.

The first item in the "Recommended" list at the bottom of his personal page is prominently displayed as: "Ichizuru Izakaya".

"Grandpa Jiang would rather forgo the advertising fee and reserve this spot for this small, scattered shop."

"Our attempts to contact them and offer to increase advertising fees didn't work."

"..."

Jiang Wen's expression changed instantly. Only when he saw the name "Yizhou Izakaya" did he finally remember which restaurant it was.

Isn't this the same kid who came here before and spouted nonsense while drinking the snow-melting soup?

Those scattered shops?

It's trending now?

Jiang Wen glanced down at the hotspot plaza.

Because Jiang Yonghua removed Su's Imperial Cuisine from his recommendation list and instead added Yizhou Izakaya.

The entire square was filled with people discussing Ichizuru Izakaya.

[This Izakaya also has oyster congee! I wonder which is better, the oyster porridge or the melted snow soup from Su's Imperial Kitchen.]

[This restaurant has a 2.5 rating. Why would Grandpa Jiang recommend a restaurant with a 2.5 rating?]

Anyone want to team up for oyster congee? I feel like since Grandpa Jiang recommended it, we should at least try it, right?

"Oyster congee..."

Jiang Wen pursed his lips and glanced at Liu Fang: "Go and make a trip there tomorrow to see what's going on with that porridge."

I can't really lose to a kid with a score of 2.5, can I?

...

Xu Zhou was naturally unaware of how much buzz Grandpa Jiang's move had generated for him on the Songnan City Food Association's app.

He glanced at today's prayer value.

The egg rice transformation is already at level 880, so I should be able to upgrade it tomorrow.

The oyster congee is already 820.

Even the beef stew in Burgundy red wine is 630.

What surprised Xu Zhou the most was that one dish kept rising upwards as if it were flying.
