Douluo Continent on the tip of the tongue

There is no free lunch in the world.

Tianxingzhai has no reason to accept competition for meals, so why not Mingtingque, which is as famous as Tianxingzhai?

But at this moment, Zhao Yangfan, the person in charge of Ming Ting Que, took the initiative to compete with his own meal, and even went to the catering association in person. He had been waiting for this attitude for a while.

When something goes wrong, there must be a monster.

So Qi Han did not agree directly, but looked at the other party's silence for two seconds and asked the most critical question, "Mr. Zhao, how did you know about Hanshi, and how did you know that Hanshi would compete with other restaurant meals?

?”

This is very unusual. You must know that Hanshi is far from famous in the Ming capital. It just happened not long ago that he came to the association to launch a meal competition. How could the other party get the news so quickly?

"This..." Zhao Yangfan coughed lightly, "To be honest, a good friend of mine is a regular customer of your restaurant. He always mentions Hanshi food to me, so I am very interested in your restaurant. As for how to know the food

Competition... Of course there are people from Ming Ting Que in this catering association, so when they heard that Han Shi was going to compete for meals, they came to tell me."

Hmm... I should be able to fool it, right?

Zhao Yangfan thought a little guiltily.

After listening to his words, Qi Han looked at Director Zhang standing next to him with questioning eyes. Director Zhang nodded, "Ming Tingque has a high status in the restaurant, so the catering association does have people from the other party involved in daily affairs.

"

After receiving the confirmation from Chief Zhang, Qi Han put aside his doubts, looked at Zhao Yangfan standing in front of him, and frowned in thought.

To be honest, he didn't want to get into the sight of the Sun and Moon Royal Family too quickly, so Ming Ting Que was not among his opponents.

But now Tian Xing Zhai has rejected his meal competition. If he wants to defeat a restaurant and achieve similar results, he may have to choose Ming Ting Que.

Of course, he also has another option, which is to launch consecutive meal competitions, defeat multiple stores, and win by quantity.

A single restaurant is not as popular as Tianxingzhai and Mingtingque, but the effect of multiple restaurants combined is not much different.

If you choose the latter, competing for multiple meals will be more troublesome and waste more time. If you choose the former, although you save trouble, you may attract the attention of the Sun and Moon Royal Family.

After pondering for a moment, Qi Han nodded slowly, "Mr. Zhao, I accept your meal competition."

There are still eighteen days left before he can complete the ninth main mission. By then, he can leave the Sun and Moon Continent and go back as long as he completes the twelfth side mission.

So the best case scenario is to complete side mission 12 within 18 days. When the two missions are completed together, he can run away directly.

To complete side task 12, he needs to gather a large number of new diners in a short period of time. The time is very tight. Multiple meal competitions waste too much time and are not advisable.

And there are only a dozen days left. Even if it attracts the attention of the Sun and Moon Royal Family, there shouldn't be any big problem. After the mission is over, you can run away immediately, and the other party won't be able to catch up with you.

Thinking about it this way, competing with Ming Tingque for meals is not so unacceptable.

After hearing Qi Han's words, Zhao Yangfan's eyes suddenly became a little more joyful, "According to the rules of the meal competition, since I initiated the meal competition, it is up to you to decide the time of the meal competition.

When do you plan to start?”

"The sooner the better." Qi Han said without hesitation.

"Well..." Director Zhang felt that he needed to say a few words.

He was still a little confused at the moment, and the agreement that Zhao Yangfan and Qi Han quickly reached seemed a bit magical to him.

One party is a top-notch restaurant with a royal background, and the other party is just a restaurant he has never heard of before today. The two parties are competing for food...

It sounds outrageous.

"Are you two sure you want to have a meal competition?" Director Zhang confirmed for the last time.

"Sure!" they both said in unison.

"Okay then." After confirming that he had no auditory hallucinations, Chief Zhang shook his head helplessly, "The meal competition is divided into two steps, drawing the theme in advance and officially starting. According to regulations, there needs to be an interval of two seconds between drawing the theme and the official competition.

It’s the same for fourteen hours, and you prepare your own ingredients for the meal competition.”

After saying that, he turned to look at Qi Han, "If you want to start as soon as possible, you can start drawing themes now and start the meal competition at an agreed time tomorrow."

"Then let's do it." Qi Han nodded, "Let's smoke now, and the meal competition will start at 1:30 tomorrow afternoon... What do you think, Mr. Zhao?"

"I have no objection at this time." Zhao Yangfan said easily. Compared with when he first came, he was more relaxed now as if he had completed the task. However, he did not show it clearly, and Qi Han did not notice it.

Zhao Yangfan is strange.

Seeing that both parties had reached an agreement, Director Zhang nodded, "Then you two will follow me to draw lots. There will be a total of three draws. The drawn themes will not be replaced. For the sake of fairness, each of you will draw once, and I will draw the last draw on behalf of the association.

"

"Okay." Qi Han and Zhao Yangfan looked at each other, followed Director Zhang out of the office, and headed towards the place where the themes were drawn.

…

"Your Majesty, Qi Han agreed to the meal competition initiated by Ming Tingque."

A figure tightly wrapped in a black robe appeared in the meeting hall and quickly reported the newly obtained information to Xu Haolong.

Hearing this, Xu Haolong and Zhou Yuan looked at each other and showed relaxed smiles.

Early this morning, a secret report came from the Secret Intelligence Department. Qi Han, who had never left Hanshi in the morning, uncharacteristically walked out of Hanshi this morning and headed towards the Sun and Moon Avenue. He even bluntly said that he wanted to inquire about the situation.

This startled Xu Haolong, who had already put aside everything related to Han Shi for the time being, and quickly summoned Zhou Yuan to see what the other party meant by such a strange move.

The two of them had not been tense for too long when the seventh-level soul master who was responsible for tracking by the Secret Intelligence Department sent a new secret report. Qi Han entered the Mingdu Catering Association and wanted to compete with Tianxingzhai for meals.

After getting to know each other and understanding the meaning of the meal competition, the two of them couldn't laugh or cry. It turned out that it was an inadvertent mistake.

Also, that boss Qi is really big-hearted. Is this a fake show and is he really running cold food business seriously? He actually came up with such a way to increase his popularity.

After receiving the news that Tianxingzhai refused to eat cold food, Xu Haolong couldn't help laughing.

Want to find a restaurant to increase its popularity?

How difficult is this?

Xu Haolong wished that Qi Han would just go about his restaurant business in Mingdu and not have those evil thoughts.

So with a wave of his hand, he asked the manager of Ming Ting Que to come to compete with Hanshi Meals.

Behind Mingting Palace was the royal family, and they had to abide by Xu Haolong's orders. Therefore, although Zhao Yangfan had never heard of Hanshi before, he could only follow the emperor's request and come to the restaurant without exposing the royal family.

When faced with Qi Han's questioning, he could only make up excuses to excuse himself.

"Who do you think the prime minister will win among these two restaurants?" Although Ming Ting Que is a royal property, the outcome of this meal competition is not important. Xu Haolong, who was in a good mood at the moment, asked casually.

"I thought... it should be cold food." Zhou Yuan spoke quickly without much hesitation.

"Oh? Several of the chefs in Mingting Palace were all former royal chefs, but the prime minister is so confident in Hanshi?" Xu Haolong pinched his chin, "Why don't I go and have a look at this meal competition?"

When Zhou Yuan said this, Xu Haolong became somewhat curious.

He is the emperor and cannot put himself in danger. Han Shi is suspected to be hidden by someone with a title of Douluo level, so Xu Haolong has never been there.

"No, Your Majesty, this is too dangerous." Zhou Yuan shook his head, "I will hide my identity and go have a look. I will report back to Your Majesty at that time."

"Okay." Xu Haolong sighed helplessly.
