Life is a Game

On October 21st, it will be sunny, southerly wind of force four, temperature 22°C~28°C, humidity 64%, it is advisable to make a comeback.

The previous information was what Jiang Feng checked the weather on his phone, and the latter information was in his mind.

Jiang Feng was very swollen after eating the roasted whole lamb from PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. He felt that he was stable today, and Taifeng Tower must be stable too-although the rest of the sheep had already gone into the trash can.

It was too bad to eat.

The time set by the program group was to gather before ten o'clock in the morning. In order to make sufficient preparations, Jiang Feng and the others set off at seven o'clock in the morning, and arrived at the snack street before eight o'clock.

The snack street in the morning is very deserted.

This is normal, after all, it's only before eight o'clock, and even on Sundays and rest days, the social animals are sleeping in at home. In mid-October, the autumn tiger has not faded, and it is hot outside. Even if you want to go shopping, eat and relax, you have to do it in the afternoon and evening.

It was true that Jiang Feng and the others came early. None of the photographers who arrived early came, but some staff members had already arrived and recognized the four of them, so they took the initiative to come forward to say hello.

"Hello, the four should be contestants from Taifeng Building. You came here quite early today. The food money from other restaurants hasn't arrived yet. Don't just stand here and let's go over there and have a rest." The four of Jiang Feng greeted a young and beautiful young lady with a sweet voice, very warm and familiar.

"At first I thought Zhang Guanghang would take part in the competition. May I ask why he didn't take part?" the young lady asked.

Jiang Feng was startled. He didn't expect that this was not only acquaintance, but also his own.

After carefully looking at the staff member, Jiang Feng found that this sister was indeed kind-hearted, as if she had seen it somewhere.

"Are you a staff member of the Good Taste Cooking Competition?" Wu Minqi spoke first.

"That's right." The little sister said with a smile, "You may not remember me. I was in charge of the reception during the semi-finals. I led each of you players in."

Sun Jikai bowed his head silently, he did not make it to the semi-finals.

The young lady didn't know that there was another student who failed in the semi-finals, so she said to Wu Minqi excitedly: "You don't know, in the semi-finals, when your male...Jiang Feng confessed to you on stage, we staff I almost jumped up and screamed, that scene is really... I think I will never forget it in my life! It is really too romantic, I have never seen such a romantic thing in my life!"

The young lady was so excited that she seemed to be attending an idol meeting.

Jiang Feng immediately changed the subject: "Where are we going, and what are the test rules today? It's impossible for us to wait here and announce it at ten o'clock."

The young lady immediately realized her gaffe, controlled her expression, and returned to being a stern and selfless staff member.

"Of course not, I'm taking you there now, and I'll explain to you the specific rules of today's test when I get there."

The four of them followed the staff lady and walked straight. After walking about 800 meters, they stopped at the door of a very petty bourgeoisie cafe and walked in.

Basically all the tables and chairs in the cafe have been removed, replaced by video equipment like a studio. There are many staff members, both domestic and foreign, which can be seen at a glance, and there are also small low benches and plastic chairs exclusive to the studio.

As soon as the young lady entered, she said loudly: "The contestants from Taifeng Building have arrived."

After finishing speaking, he repeated it in English.

The crowd suddenly became agitated. Jiang Feng clearly saw a foreign boy who was not a native of China at first glance, who was sitting on a chair and drinking coffee leisurely. After listening to the young lady's words, he jumped out of the chair When I got up, I spilled half a cup of coffee on my shirt.

Four people:?

Of course, the four of them didn't know that more than half of the staff present here had gone through the hell time of proposing a plan, calling back to modify the plan, calling back, revising again, being called back, and so on.

Although it is self-inflicted, there are also some innocent people, such as the foreign boy who spilled half a cup of coffee on his shirt just now.

The person in charge had a pale face, dark circles under his eyes, and his face was full of words that I was only one day away from sudden death, with a false and enthusiastic, painful and happy, helpless and sad smile towards Jiang Feng with a deserving and deserving smile Four people go.

The Taifeng Building delegation sent Sun Jikai to have a dialogue with the general manager.

After a period of English communication with a slight accent, Jiang Feng and the others figured out the specifics of the test.

The game is right, this test is indeed Taifenglou's last chance to come back.

This snack street was newly built in the past two years. After continuous transformation and publicity, it has become a well-known online celebrity snack street. It can often attract many uninformed tourists from other places and locals who are bored with nothing to do. They come to stroll around when they have nothing to do, do some shopping, and boost the per capita GDP of the country.

The content of this test is very simple. Xu Cheng and Han Guishan own a total of 22 shops on this snack street. Some of these shops are booming, some are not, some are large, some are small, some There are many golden locations, and some corners. Selling milk tea, rice rolls, small stir-fry restaurants, snack bars, pastry shops, dessert shops, there are all types.

What the contestants have to do is to choose seven stores to operate from the first place in order according to the current points ranking. The menu can be modified appropriately but it must conform to the type of store.

For example, a milk tea shop can sell desserts, but not buns. Rice roll shops can sell porridge, but not mapo tofu. Dessert shops can sell milk tea, but not stir-fried shredded potatoes.

The test time is from 10:00 am to 10:00 pm, a total of 12 hours. All the dishes sold during the period will be included in the points, including takeaway. All products have triple points, one dish can earn three points, and at the same time cancel the praise points, but if you get a bad review, you will be deducted 10 points.

It can be said that in this test, the store is very important.

This is obviously a test that needs to be measured.

After the person in charge introduced the test rules, he asked the young lady who had brought Jiang Feng and the others here to show them the twenty-two shops to choose from.

The location of the store, the environment, and the size of the store are all important factors in determining the points. Only after an on-site inspection can a better decision be made.

Jiang Feng and the others were really right to come so early. If they came later, they might not be able to see all 22 shops and they would have to start choosing shops.

Jiang Feng and the others followed Miss Sister from store to store. Among the 22 stores, four of them had good locations and original business, and the best business was a Western-style dessert shop.

The location is good, there are six tables in the store, the decoration is very good, the air conditioner is also very good, pudding, cake, coffee, juice, milk tea are sold, dine-in, walk-in and take-away people are very many people, it is simply for the top floor A shop tailored for the restaurant.

The other three stores have similar businesses, namely a milk tea shop, a cake shop and a pastry shop. From the perspective of sales volume, these three shops are all very successful. The four of Jiang Feng agreed that these four stores were basically useless. As long as the people in four of the remaining six stores had online IQs and normal thinking, they would choose these four stores with reason.

They are the bottom one. When choosing a store, they must first exclude six stores, and then choose from the remaining 16 stores.

It was already past nine o'clock after seeing the 22 stores. The 22 stores were scattered, almost all over the whole snack street. Almost everyone of the four of Jiang Feng had a favorite store, and they were arguing endlessly along the way. They all feel that their vision should be good.

Sun Maocai took a fancy to a sausage noodle shop. He thought the sausage noodle shop could sell rice noodle rolls, fried noodles and dim sum. Two of the four of them are Cantonese chefs, which fit their style very well. Jiang Feng and Wu Minqi You can also make fried rice and so on.

The disadvantage of the sausage noodle shop is that the location is not good, and the store is very small. It is just an ordinary snack bar. According to the staff, the original performance of this store is very average. It is almost impossible to rely on this small store to turn around. .

Wu Minqi prefers stir-fry restaurants. She thinks that the four of them are chefs of the red case.

The disadvantages of stir-fry restaurants are similar to rice roll shops, the location is not good, the store is bigger than rice roll shops, but the performance is also very average.

Sun Jikai's point of view is quite strange. He took a fancy to a fried skewer shop that also sells stinky tofu, iron plate tofu, ice powder and other snacks. It is a very pure snack complex.

The business of this store has always been booming, because there are too many products for sale, and there is always one that can attract tourists. The store is very small and cannot be eaten in. It belongs to the ideal snack bar that can sell thousands of copies a day as long as there are enough customers and fast enough.

Fried skewers are too fast to be cooked, and the four of them have no experience in making fried skewers. It is estimated that the fried skewers they make are not as good as ordinary street stalls.

So Sun Jikai's proposal was rejected by everyone as soon as it came out.

Jiang Feng chose the largest of the 22 shops. One could no longer be called a snack bar, but a restaurant, and it was a two-story porridge shop of a big hotel.

In terms of size, this porridge shop is a little bigger than the healthy snack restaurant that Jiang Jiankang opened in the back street of city A before.

Jiang Feng's reason for choosing the porridge shop was very simple. Of course he would choose the porridge shop. At the same time, his reason for choosing a porridge shop is somewhat similar to that of Sun Maocai. This is a Cantonese-style porridge shop that sells everything, including stir-fries, dim sum, and cold dishes. Basically, it is no different from ordinary restaurants.

But this porridge shop has a fatal flaw, it does not belong to the snack street.

Originally, the shop on the upper and lower floors sold calligraphy and painting, but later this shop was bought by Han Guishan. I don't know what Boss Han was thinking, so he insisted on changing it into a porridge shop.

The business of the original calligraphy and painting shop was already very bleak, and the business after being converted into a porridge shop is not as good as the original calligraphy and painting shop.

From Jiang Feng's point of view, there was nothing wrong with the porridge shop itself. Whether it was the decoration, the dishes, or the air-conditioning, it was all very good, but it seemed that it just didn't fit in with the snack street. But it is said that the takeaway business is much better than the dine-in business, and some nearby residents still like the porridge in this store.

There are probably no more than 20 residents in this part of the population. It is conceivable how bad the business of this porridge shop is on weekdays.

Everyone works in the restaurant, and they are very clear about why this porridge shop is not working. This is a snack street, or an internet celebrity snack street. All the snacks are sold. Everyone is shopping, punching a card, taking a picture, and eating some snacks. Who is free to come to the snack street to drink porridge and eat fried food? Powder. This behavior was no different from ordering stir-fried potato shreds when he grabbed Jiang Feng's dish at Taifeng Restaurant.

Moreover, the location of this porridge shop is very problematic. The porridge shop is in the middle of the snack street. This snack street is very long, with a total length of about four kilometers. A normal person's stomach, as long as he is going to come to the snack street to eat something, will be almost 60% full by the time he walks two kilometers and arrives at the porridge shop no matter which side he starts from.

Ordinary people would not go to the porridge shop and see the signboard of the porridge shop when they are half full with milk tea in their left hand and fried skewers in the right hand, and say to their companions, "Oh, let's have a bowl of porridge if there is a porridge shop." Let's go."

Generally speaking, the store is a good store, but it is in the wrong place.

All four felt that the other party's proposal was not good.

Even if Sun Jikai's proposal was rejected by unanimous votes from the moment he said it, he still felt that the other three people could not do it.

No one can convince the other.

"How about this?" Wu Minqi decided to take a step back as she was about to reach the cafe entrance, "I don't know if other people will choose the store we like, but I think the store Fengfeng chose is the same as Master Sun's." The types of stores are similar, so we put these two stores as the first consideration, then my store as the second consideration, and Sun Jikai’s store as the third consideration.”

"At that time, we will see how they choose. If there is no one to choose, we will choose between these four stores, and we will choose between Fengfeng's store and Master Sun's store. If we choose, we will see how it goes."

The three agreed, and that was the only way to go.

If it weren't for the good ones, who would choose among these four shops with obvious shortcomings at a glance?

Everyone wants to choose a dessert shop, as if no one knows how to do it.

Seeing that the atmosphere was suddenly depressed, the staff member smiled and encouraged, "Come on, I believe you can do it. I will go to your store for dinner at noon today to increase your sales."

Jiang Feng:?

It can still be like this.

Wu Minqi was also shocked: "This...wouldn't it be considered cheating?"

"Of course not. We were going to eat at noon today. Besides, how much I can eat by myself, three points is the top. Mr. Han said yesterday that he will eat all the seven participating restaurants today. I have to eat it once, it seems Mrs. Han and his son will come to eat together."

Jiang Feng: ...

Boss Han...he has a good appetite recently.

If there is him, any food competition program can be turned into a canteen if you invest in it.
