Chapter 114: A trip to the food street.
Chapter 114: A trip to the food street.
When she woke up again, it was already noon.
She rubbed her eyes, stretched, got out of bed, opened the curtains, folded the quilt neatly, and went downstairs carrying Kangkang.
She first greeted Aunt Qiu, then opened the door and left.
The destination we are going to today is the most famous food street. As the name suggests, the food street is full of food.
Otherwise, it cannot be named as a food street. Don’t think it’s easy to use food as a name. The title of food street is not exclusive to a certain street. It is fluid and can be rotated.
It is also selected by the public. The street where the food is more popular with the public can be rated as a food street.
Of course, the food street is unique, there are not multiple ones in parallel.
So, when you are hungry, have difficulty making decisions, and don’t know what to eat, go to the food court.
You will definitely not be disappointed and your trip will be worthwhile. You will be so enchanted that you will want to go there again next time. It is a paradise for foodies.
For foodies, going there is as joyful as a mouse falling into a rice jar.
So, in order to let Kenkeng see the world and not be so pitiful and think that ice soda is the best thing to drink, she took it to the food street.
What the food court lacks the most is not food, but people. There is a constant stream of people here from morning to night.
It is not easy to grab a spot here, so some people smelled the business opportunity and specialized in helping others grab spots, and thus made a lot of money.
Some people even queued up from the early hours of the morning just to be the first to buy it and post it on their social media to attract the envy of others. They all felt it was worth it.
Some people who couldn’t bid bought the items from people waiting in line, and they had no trouble selling them even if the price was three or four times higher than the original price.
Because to some people, money is just a number, so of course they think it's worth it.
Tang Feng looked at this lively scene and was naturally familiar and calm. This was not her first time here. Although she had not been here many times, because she was socially anxious.
Therefore, naturally, they are reluctant to come to crowded places.
But the stall owners here liked her very much and gave her VIP coupons so that she could skip the queue.
As for whether anyone would feel that this is unfair, of course not.
Because she is not the only one who has the VIP coupon.
Moreover, VIP coupons are not only available to rich people. Loyal fans of the store can also get VIP coupons by posting their purchase records.
Of course, there is also a lottery, one can be drawn every year, and so far 10 lucky people have won VIP tickets.
Of course, the stall owners also keep some for themselves. This is to retain the stall owners, because the food streets that can be selected mainly rely on the stall owners who sell delicious food.
So, of course we have to leave some VIP coupons for them, otherwise what should we do if we have to go to another street?
Besides, for them, it is just a matter of drawing a few more pictures, and for them, the VIP ticket is just a piece of cardboard with "VIP" written on it. It doesn't cost much.
I can draw twenty or thirty pictures in one minute.
After all, the value of the VIP coupon is not itself, but the meaning it represents, which is very attractive to foodies.
Of course, things are valuable because they are rare, so they naturally won't draw too many. In a year, they draw a maximum of 30. One is used for the lottery. 20 are distributed to the stall owners in the food court. The other are used for other purposes.
It's enough, any more will break the balance.
But Kengkeng was not so calm. It was the first time for it to see so many people, including students in school uniforms, white-collar workers in suits, policemen in plain clothes, and little girls in skirts held in the arms of their parents.
I couldn't help but sigh: "There are so many people"
To the naked eye, it's almost all head, only the upper body can be seen, and the legs are completely invisible.
Of course, she was still upstairs at that time and had not gone downstairs, so only her upper body could be seen. After she went downstairs, her lower body would be visible.
Then she carried Kenkeng downstairs.
Because she wanted to let Kang Kang know that there were things that tasted better than ice soda, so her goal was clear: find a beverage stall.
She saw that the number one ranked beverage stand according to Dianping was not far from her, so she took Kangkang towards there, but she suddenly smelled an overbearing fragrance, which attracted her attention and she walked towards that side involuntarily.
Kenkeng was held in her arms and naturally went with her.
Following the scent, she turned left and right and came to a run-down stall. On the stall was a sign that said Li Ji Flower Cake. It was free of charge whether it was delicious or not. Come and try it and take a look.
Looking at the freshly baked flower cake, she couldn't help swallowing her saliva and said to the stall owner, "Uncle, give me a piece of flower cake."
The stall owner was sorting out the remaining cakes of the day. When he heard this, he raised his head suddenly because he was finally opening his business.
He smiled and said, "Here, this is your flower cake."
Tang Feng took it and couldn't wait to take a bite. She was not disappointed. Just like the overbearing fragrance she had just smelled, it was super delicious. It was indeed her favorite flower cake. She could never get tired of it.
In no time, she finished the whole cake and praised the stall owner, "It's delicious."
The stall owner smiled, scratched his head, and said, "As long as it tastes good."
Then, Tang Feng was about to pay and asked, "Boss, how much is this flower cake?"
The stall owner smiled innocently and waved his hand, saying, "No need, girl. Just consider it as a free gift to you. You are my first customer today."
Tang Feng was surprised and said, "What uncle? You mean this is free? How can such delicious flower cakes be free? Don't worry that I can't afford it. I can afford it."
The stall owner said, "No need, little girl, I know you can afford it. I can tell from your clothes that you are not short of money. Really, it's okay. Just think of it as a free sample."
She said, "That won't work. Aren't you sure you'll lose money?"
He said, "Well, little girl, if you really feel bad, you can help me promote it.
My family is a century-old brand. It used to be the imperial chef. The flower cakes were eaten by the emperor in the palace, but now it has long been in decline.
No one knows that there are such delicious flower cakes. They only believe in those big brands.
So I can’t keep my shop open and have to set up a stall.
I hope that one day my shop can appear in the food court, so that I can pass on my ancient recipe. I can’t let such delicious flower cakes be lost in my generation. If I do that, I will not be able to face my ancestors.”
Tang Feng: "Uncle, you are a century-old brand, why don't you write it in the promotion? Only in this way will people come, otherwise how could you fall to this level?"
The uncle sighed and said, "Oh, don't mention it. Everyone thinks I'm doing false advertising, and there are even some trolls out there messing around. My reputation has been ruined. Dianping.com is full of negative reviews, but no one has ever tasted it.
There are also people who smashed my stall, but I can't not make money. How can I survive without making money?
So, I can only hide.
Only by setting up a stall in this corner of the gutter can I avoid being smashed by others, but because this place is too remote, no one comes, so I plan not to come tomorrow, and plan to find a job and never buy anything again. "
Tang Feng: "Uncle, don't be discouraged, don't believe those people on the Internet, they are just repeating what others say and don't care about the truth at all.
I want to help you make such delicious flower cakes, they shouldn’t disappear. Although I don’t have many fans, it’s always good to help you promote them. Wait a minute, I’ll post them now.”
The stall owner said, "Thank you, little girl."
Tang Feng: "You're welcome. I just did what I should do."
At this time, Tang Feng on a certain online platform didn't know that the number of hits on the video she posted was increasing at a rate visible to the naked eye.
Apparently the video she posted went viral.
As for why it is so popular?
She indeed has few fans on the platform, but the video she posted was liked by popular movie stars and actors.
Therefore, it was recommended by the platform, and fans of popular movie actors and actresses came along.
Seeing the delicious flower cakes in the video aroused my appetite. They thought I couldn’t be the only one who was tempted, so they shared it, and it became a hit.
Now many people are ready to try it offline, but she doesn’t know yet and is still worried about the future of the stall owner.
