Was fired and opened a gourmet food store

The idea is good, but the reality is very cruel.

On the fourth day, Xu Ziqi was no longer the first place, but fell to third place.

That night, it was still in that Cantonese restaurant, and it was still him and Qin Lianyi.

After sitting and eating a midnight snack, they saw the message sent by Tang Rou, and their faces became a little solemn.

After a period of silence, Qin Lianyi sighed lightly, glanced at Xu Ziqi, and found that although he was expressionless, he was no longer as calm and at ease as before, so he asked carefully: "Are you okay?"

"It's okay." After a moment of silence, Xu Ziqi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I just thought about it for a long time, and I really can't think of where I lost."

Although he has not tasted the dishes made by other chefs, Xu Ziqi still feels that he must have an advantage in terms of taste. After all, this is from an invincible system.

If the system's products cannot beat the chefs in the mortal world, what's the use of him?

The other thing is the efficiency of serving food. He thinks he must be the first. With the physical strength and speed of those old men, how can they beat him unless they hire some capable assistants?

These two are advantages, so he racked his brains and didn't know where he lost.

It's not that he is arrogant, it's really a bit weird, just like a person who usually fails the exam, suddenly got 100 points, there must be something strange.

Hearing Xu Ziqi's words, Qin Lianyi also agreed deeply.

She has been eating the food made by Xu Ziqi every day these days. The taste is far beyond the reach of ordinary chefs. Even if the chef of a five-star hotel comes, it can't compare.

Let's not talk about the distant, just say this restaurant, the taste is also first-class in this hotel. If it can be ranked first in this hotel, it must be first-class in the whole Magic City.

And even with such a level, it is far from what Xu Ziqi did.

As for the chefs of the other groups, I guess they won't be that good no matter how good they are.

It's not that she looks down on others, it's just that Xu Ziqi is too amazing, she can't think of anyone more powerful than Xu Ziqi, so Qin Lianyi thought a lot, but she didn't know where she lost.

"Do you think there is a possibility that those masters used some marketing methods to attract some people to buy?"

After thinking for a while, Qin Lianyi made a guess. She is in the entertainment industry and is quite familiar with buying articles and hot searches.

But how to do marketing in a university cafeteria?

Make some posters and post them in popular places in the school, or reduce prices for promotions?

Xu Ziqi pondered for a while, seriously considered what Qin Lianyi said, and then shook his head: "I can't think of how they will operate. Even if they do marketing, it's hard for them to surpass us. We have a total of 6 windows. Since the opening, they have been full until closing. Even if they attract some people, they will have to queue up. With the same scale, we can't lose to them, unless..."

"Unless their scale is larger than yours, and their business is more prosperous than yours."

Before Xu Ziqi finished speaking, he heard a familiar voice next to him. He looked up and frowned slightly: " Why is it you again? "

Zhang Meng was standing by with a midnight snack. She was not excited when she heard it. She sat down next to Qin Lianyi and said lightly: "Why can't it be me? Is this your family's business? Can't I come here to eat?"

Xu Ziqi shook his head, "That's not what I meant."

"That's it." After Zhang Meng finished speaking, she saw Xu Ziqi's indifferent expression and couldn't help but stabbed him: "Don't be so self-indulgent. I came here because I saw Teacher Qin was here, not because of you. Don't be so narcissistic."

"Oh, that's the best." Xu Ziqi nodded.

Zhang Meng saw that Xu Ziqi was still unmoved, and a surge of anger inexplicably surged in her heart. She glared at him fiercely, but she didn't want to get angry, so she could only lower her head and eat a few bites of egg tarts to calm down.

At this time, Qin Lianyi looked down at Zhang Meng's midnight snack and asked curiously: "Teacher Zhang, do you like egg tarts too?"

"I like it." Zhang Meng smiled, then seemed to remember something, and said with a little emotion: "I used to like it, but compared to egg tarts, I prefer pineapple buns and fried dough sticks, oh, and soy milk. When I was in college, a boy brought it to me every day. He knew that I was lazy and would never get up before the specified time, so he was reluctant to call me, but he was afraid that I would not have hot food, so he always put breakfast in his coat and waited for me downstairs in the dormitory, whether it was windy or rainy, all year round. Later, he stopped bringing it to me, and I was still a little uncomfortable."

"That boy should like you very much." Qin Lianyi was a little moved, and after saying it with emotion, he realized that he was a little uncomfortable.Right, covered his mouth, secretly glanced at Xu Ziqi, and found that he was unmoved, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Zhang Meng also said lightly: "It used to be, but now it's different. He has someone he likes."

After listening to Zhang Meng's self-narration, Xu Ziqi didn't react at all and continued to eat supper.

What's the point of saying this now? It's all in the past, and he doesn't care about it anymore.

Now he just wants to find out why other masters' business is booming, instead of listening to others reminiscing about the past here.

At this time, Zhang Meng finally spoke: "Teacher Qin, do you know why other masters surpass you?"

"Why?" Qin Lianyi opened her curious eyes.

"Because they violated the rules of the program, that's not right." Zhang Meng thought for a while: "To be precise, they took advantage of the loopholes in the rules."

"Teacher Zhang, can you be more specific?" Qin Lianyi asked immediately. It seems that as an insider, Zhang Meng should know something.

Xu Ziqi also raised his head and looked at Zhang Meng. He was still very concerned about this matter.

Zhang Meng was very satisfied with Xu Ziqi's attitude. His expression was much more relaxed. He smiled and said, "Didn't the program group ask you big stars to wear masks to cover your faces to avoid being discovered?"

"Yes, then what?" Qin Lianyi nodded, then widened her eyes: "Did the stars in other groups not wear masks? They exposed their true identities and were recognized?"

"No." Zhang Meng explained: "They did not break the rules and wore masks, but they were still recognized."

"Why?" Qin Lianyi continued to ask.
