293. It’s inconvenient to take a car, so why not just run there?
But he knew his cousin's character very well, and he had been told about it since he was a child.
He still remembers that when he was in the third grade of elementary school, his friend said he wanted to buy a playground for him to play in. Everyone thought he was joking.
And two or three years passed without seeing any movement, so everyone gradually forgot about it.
But, just after everyone forgot about it.
Yang Yueru actually united with more than a dozen rich second generations when she was in the first year of junior high school. The rich third generations actually bought a small playground in the suburbs of the capital.
Yang Yueru, who was only 12 years old, relied on her innate management talent and allowed more than a dozen rich second generations to flexibly use the resources and connections of each family to actually renovate this old and small amusement park, and realized
profit.
This time he came to the capital, and on the way back to the Yang family mansion from the airport, he also saw the amusement park.
But now that amusement park is no longer what it was more than ten years ago. It has become one of the most famous amusement attractions in the metropolitan area.
The annual profit is said to be in the tens of millions. Of course, he has never asked how much it is.
Seeing the lack of doubt in his cousin's eyes, he could only accept his fate.
...
After Yang Yueru finished handling the kitchen affairs, she immediately came to Li Xiao's table, but found that Li Xiao had already left.
She quickly grabbed a waiter and realized that Li Xiao had been gone for two or three minutes.
I still missed the best processing time, and it seemed I would have to find another opportunity later, but luckily I had the video information and registration form on hand.
Once you get the receipt of filing the case from the Security Department, you can wait for the right public relations opportunity.
After all, she knew that many media outlets had begun to publicize the situation where a major anchor ate stale shrimp in Quanjude.
When something like a crisis is dangerous, it means there is an opportunity. She wants to do it at the critical moment when things are almost fermented and the number of people paying attention starts to increase rapidly.
Immediate public relations may turn this wave of danger into opportunity.
If it can be further promoted at the appropriate time, perhaps the effect will be better.
After all, she has a wealth of experience, and she quickly entered her most focused state.
...
On the other side, Li Xiao finished the last salted cabbage sum, took 900 yuan in meal money and 2,000 yuan in compensation, and then left.
Tomorrow morning, he would go to the examination room, and he had no intention of staying in the store.
I strolled around for a while and found the atmosphere was quite lively.
The streets and alleys are full of tourists coming and going. Since the Olympic Games will be held next year, the tourism atmosphere in the capital has become more intense.
Seeing such a lively scene, Li Xiao's interest, which had been ruined by the spoiled shrimp, was immediately aroused again.
"Okay, everyone can forget what happened just now. We are now in the food street of Huangfujing Street."
"You see, this street is full of all kinds of food. Food from all over the country is gathered here."
"I didn't enjoy the meal inside just now, so we just happened to have some more outside."
Studio
"Good guy, are you just taking the compensation money and showing off?"
"Anchor, let's go to the hospital quickly. It would be bad if we really feel uncomfortable."
"Yes, yes, the anchor's health is important. We can watch the live broadcast anytime. Don't be afraid of illness and avoid medical treatment. This habit is not good."
"You must be too nervous. The anchor only took such a small bite of shrimp balls. I'm afraid he didn't even get half of one."
"Fortunately, I watched the whole process and knew that what he ate was spoiled shrimp, otherwise I would have thought that the anchor had eaten nuclear waste."
Seeing the audience's concern, Li Xiao's heart softened. Although these guys are usually quite venomous, they know they feel sorry for themselves at critical moments.
He quickly explained:
"It's okay, it's okay. I just took a small bite and realized something was wrong, so I didn't eat much at all."
"You don't have to worry about my health. Although the shrimp has turned sour, the degree of sourness is not very serious. I guess it's just because my liver has broken down. It's not a big problem. Okay, let's keep our eyes on it now."
Let’s go back to the food street in front of us.”
While Li Xiao was talking, he had already arrived in front of a Zajiang noodle shop. There was a long queue in front of this Zajiang noodle shop.
He made a casual visual inspection and found that there were at least thirty or forty people standing in front of him. However, the team was moving very fast, and it was estimated that they would reach him in ten minutes at most.
Sure enough, after waiting in line for eight or nine minutes, we arrived. There are only two kinds of fried noodles at Li Xiao's side, one is a large bowl and the other is a small bowl. The large bowl is 20 yuan and the small bowl is 15 yuan.
The content is the same, the only difference is the weight.
The portion of the small bowl of fried noodles is half the size of the large bowl.
But the price is as high as 15 yuan. This is actually a very clever sales psychology trick.
After customers enter the store, compare the same products.
You will easily find that you can eat twice as much fried noodles by spending 5 yuan more, and you will feel that the big bowl is very cost-effective.
As for the small bowl of noodles, the merchant actually did not intend to sell it. It was only used as a price guideline for customers to make a psychological evaluation.
In the customer's mind, a small bowl of noodles costs 15 yuan, so a large bowl of noodles is only twice the size of a small bowl of noodles, so the price should be doubled, that is, 30 yuan.
Although Li Xiao saw the other party's little plan at a glance, he didn't pay attention and directly ordered a big bowl of fried noodles.
After all, 5 yuan is dispensable to most people, but you can actually eat twice as much noodles.
However, when Li Xiao got this fried noodles full of philosophy of life and consumer thinking, he regretted spending the extra 5 yuan.
Because the fried noodles were so unpalatable, so unimaginable that he had never thought that fried noodles could be so unpalatable.
The fried sauce on top was actually soft and full of starch. It tasted like meat sauce made from the poorest sausage with a starch content of up to 99%.
Moreover, the salt in this meat sauce was as if it was free of charge. It was so salty that Li Xiao shed tears.
After taking one bite, Li Xiao was reluctant to take a second bite, but adhering to the principle of not wasting food, he picked up a handful of yellow noodles under the meat sauce.
However, there are no twists and turns, and the noodles below are also extremely unpalatable.
Of course, Li Xiao still gave the other party the last bit of face, and after passing two stores, he threw the two-bitten bowl of noodles into the trash can.
He smiled bitterly and shook his head at the live broadcast room:
"My dear, it tastes so bad. Why can such horrible noodles still survive here?"
"And he dares to sell it for 20 yuan a bowl? I think he made the miscellaneous sauce on it directly with starch."
"It tastes really bad. It doesn't taste like anything at all. It just tastes salty, and it's super salty."
"Don't see that I only took a small bite, but now I still have no feeling on my tongue."
This time is completely different from last time. There was no comfort in the live broadcast room this time.
"Oh my god, anchor, what happened today? Why are they all being cheated on?"
"Please, how can the food in this food street be delicious?"
"It's true that we locals have never touched the restaurants on Wangfujing Street."
"That noodle just now looked really confusing. It looked delicious. Who knew it tasted so terrible?"
"Yes, I also asked why the 20 yuan fried noodles with such a big lump of meat are all starch?"
"I have already remembered the name of the miscellaneous sauce shop just now!"
After Li Xiao threw away the fried noodles in his hand, he randomly selected a few snacks on Wangfujing Street, but found that each one was more unpalatable than the last.
Looking at the roasted cicada pupa, which is golden and crispy and exudes an attractive fragrance, it is actually very cold inside, and due to repeated heating, all the moisture inside has been dried out.
The original creamy texture has become dry, like eating cookies.
There is no taste at all, and the price is not low either. A bunch of 5 pieces actually costs 40 yuan.
An 8-yuan cicada pupa smelled so bad that Li Xiao really wanted to call the police and have people from the security department come and arrest him.
The rest of the snacks are basically the same as roasted cicada pupae and fried noodles.
It looks decent on the outside, but when you take a bite, you will find that there is something inside.
However, Li Xiao also discovered that although he kept making mistakes, the audience was very happy to watch, so he didn't care too much about the taste of the food.
Seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, and the flow of people outside began to gradually decrease, Li Xiao took a look and saw that the time on his mobile phone had reached 9 o'clock in the evening.
The number of mines I cleared exceeded double digits, and except for one roasted sweet potato, which was barely edible, all the others were inedible.
It was getting late, so Li Xiao also turned off the live broadcast.
After looking at the data, I found that at the peak, 310,000 people were online at the same time, and 230,000 reward points were received.
Because Li Xiao had been live broadcasting all the time, he didn't pay attention to what happened in Quanjude before.
But when he returned to the hotel, he found that the Internet had been abuzz about this incident.
To be honest, Li Xiao is quite surprised as to why the recent events are fermenting so quickly. What just happened can immediately explode on the Internet hot spots.
And many of them are directly on the hot search list or popularity list. In fact, when he carefully thinks back to how many restaurants he has checked in, he will clearly find out.
Unknowingly, the popularity value given to him by the system was already quite high, although the introduction of the system was only briefly introduced above.
One point of fame will allow 10 strangers to recognize Li Xiao through different channels, but the effect of reality is far more powerful than Li Xiao imagined.
Those who know Li Xiao through the system's reputation will unconsciously and automatically follow Li Xiao and become his audience, then fans, and finally die-hard fans.
And everything that happened happened subtly, and no one noticed anything unusual.
Even the person involved would only think that they have been following Li Xiao because they like watching Li Xiao's live broadcast, and no one would think that their preference is actually controlled by a supernatural being.
And these people who become Li Xiao's die-hard fans will also begin to spread their ideas and attitudes towards Li Xiao to the people around them.
At the same time, he will also tell the people around him what happened to Li Xiao. This is the real reason why Li Xiao feels that no matter what happens to him recently, he will easily become a hot topic.
I went back to the room and took another hot bath to wash away the smell of roast duck.
Lying leisurely on the bed, chatting with Jiang Yingxue while searching the Internet for star chef competitions the day after tomorrow.
In the middle of the journey, Li Xiao received a call from the front desk, asking if he wanted a home massage. Although he had never experienced it, he knew what it was when he heard it and refused without hesitation.
Just came back from the street
Seeing that the time came to 10:30, he quickly turned off his phone and went to bed early. Although his energy recovered quickly now, he still had to take good care of his body after all.
Besides, he had to go to bed early to get up early. He would have to rush over to the scene early tomorrow morning to take a look.
I got up early on the second day.
After Li Xiao washed up, he ate two meat buns in an alley near the hotel and set off.
The steamed buns taste quite average, and you can tell at a glance that they are mass-produced in a factory.
The meat filling used is very ordinary, but the seasoning is professionally prepared, and the taste is still better than ordinary roadside buns.
They called a Gaode special car. When Li Xiao had no money before, he thought the bus was quite convenient.
Later, when I got rich, I found taxis to be very convenient.
But when he got his own car, he realized that taxis and buses were rubbish. It was most comfortable to have his own car and be able to go wherever he wanted.
However, considering that my car could not be driven into the capital, and that it was not worthwhile to drive a long distance to take the exam, I gave up the idea.
The traffic situation in the capital area is really not that bad. Li Xiao came to the city from the suburbs yesterday and didn't feel it was obvious.
Today, when waiting for a special car in the city, you can clearly feel the unfriendly traffic in the capital. Li Xiao got up at 6:00 and set off at 6:30.
However, he had specially called Gaode's special car 10 minutes early, but he did not expect that he still had to wait for a full hour before he got the special car.
Seeing this situation, Li Xiao was not angry. Instead, he was a little lucky. Fortunately, he went to the stadium one day in advance to check the situation.
Otherwise, if I only leave an hour earlier according to the traffic conditions in Dongguan, I will really be doomed.
If we arrive an hour early, we probably won't even be able to wait for the bus.
He knew that being late for the game would directly disqualify him from the competition, although he didn't have much idea about whether he could get this certificate.
But there are hundreds of thousands of people in the live broadcast room, and they all know that they have come to the capital specifically to take the one-star chef test.
If I were disqualified because I was late, I would probably be the laughing stock in the live broadcast room for a long time.
Others will not believe that you were disqualified because you were late.
If others cannot find your star chef information on the Internet, they will directly assume that your skills must be too low, so you failed the exam.
At that time, my live broadcast room will probably be in chaos instantly, and those black men who were originally hiding will probably come out all at once.
Although he is not too worried about his popularity being affected, the live broadcast room is full of black people making trouble, which is very uncomfortable for people to watch.
It was rush hour in the morning, so it took Li Xiao another 50 minutes to arrive at the competition venue.
Before, Li Xiao had always wondered why the exam time was set so late at 10:00. He realized now that it was not late at all, or even a little too early. If he lived a little further away from the competition venue, he would probably just rush there.
That's enough.
For example, it took me two full hours to get to the venue today. If there was any traffic jam, it would have taken more than two hours.
In other words, the game starts at 10:00, and I must leave before 7:30.
However, Li Xiao soon discovered that something was wrong. The reason why he originally chose this small four-star hotel was because the environment here was better and the ratings were higher.
More importantly, he checked this hotel at the time and found that it was only 10 kilometers away from the competition venue. Good guy, 10 kilometers would take him two hours. Isn't this a joke?
I immediately realized that I had fallen into a misunderstanding. It is true that under normal circumstances, riding a car is definitely faster than running or walking, but it also depends on the actual situation.
Even in a situation like today, it took an hour to hail a taxi, and the journey in between also took an hour.
With this time, I might as well run there! My usual morning exercise is more than 8 kilometers, and now the navigation here shows that 10 kilometers is only two hours longer than my usual time.
Li Xiao touched his smooth chin and nodded. This is indeed a good method.
But for the sake of safety, I can try it first when I come back. After all, if I am not familiar with the place, I am afraid of getting lost, and I am afraid that there will be some sections on the way where I cannot walk and I have to drive, which will be troublesome.
When we arrived at the examination venue, it was actually a chef academy.
Only on special occasions, it is lent to the National Chefs Association for competitions. This school is very big.
I checked the information about this school and found that it can provide more than 2,000 chefs to the society every year, which is quite remarkable.
Although he is not a star chef, there is no problem for a chef like this who has studied in an academic school to serve as the third or second chef or even the chef of some small restaurants.
At this time, the school is already in a semi-open state, and some accessible places can be freely entered and exited. Li Xiao also saw many people like him, who came here a day in advance to inspect the venue.
After all, the opportunity only comes once a year, and many people who come to participate in the competition even need to resign from the store or arrange a lot of things in advance.
After all, in some small shops, there are mainstays who are capable of participating in the one-star chef competition. Once these people leave, it is likely to cause chaos in the shop.
Thanks for the monthly votes and rewards, and thanks to the editor for the recommendation.
