Chapter 374 Two Food Festival Awards

Jianghai Food Festival is an annual food event in Jianghai.

In previous years, the scale was relatively small, so the influence was limited.

This year's Jianghai Food Festival is aimed at attracting gourmet tourists from home and abroad, so the municipal government attaches great importance to it.

At the opening ceremony, even the vice mayor of Jianghai City, Ren Jiuqing, attended and spoke in person.

Although Bai Xiaobai's booth was not very clear to host the stage, he could clearly hear everyone's speech on the stage just now.

In fact, it is very formal. First, I talked about the food festival conforming to socialism... Then I talked about the purpose of the food festival...

In short, Bai Xiaobai listens with his left ear and hears with his right ear.

The focus of his attention is on the selection of famous snacks in this food festival.

From the speeches of various leaders, he understood the general process of the selection of famous and excellent snacks in this food festival.

The first day of the opening of the food festival will not start the selection.

The selection officially begins on the third day of the food festival.

There are a total of 208 booth merchants in this food festival, and each merchant can select up to three gourmet snacks sold at the booth to participate in this selection.

Because there are so many delicacies to choose from.

The food festival jury will divide all the judges into four groups: A, B, C, and D.

Each group of judges is in charge of an area, and personally goes to each booth to taste the food, and then pre-selects the best ten gourmet snacks to advance to the finals.

In this way, a total of forty gourmet snacks entered the finals of famous snacks.

Awards for the finals are divided into two categories.

The first category is the Gold, Silver and Bronze Award for Famous Snacks. This award is an expert award, that is, the opinions of all the judges are gathered to select one Gold, Silver and Bronze Award snacks and award them to the winners.

The second category is the Famous Snack Award, which belongs to the Popularity Award. It does not select a single food, but a merchant.

That is, during the food festival, which booth merchant is the most popular can win the award.

The specific selection method is not expert voting, but public voting.

The voting method is through secret mobile voting.

The Jianghai Food Festival has opened the mobile phone voting SMS function.

During the food festival, everyone can send edited text messages to the number of the food festival organizing committee, and choose a booth merchant that they are most satisfied with at the food festival.

Of course, SMS voting is not free, it costs money, one yuan per text message.

Bai Xiaobai already has a general understanding of the two major categories of the Food Festival.

To be honest, his purpose of participating in the food festival this time is for the name of the reward.

He wants to win both the Expert Award and the Popularity Award, but the reality is cruel. Until now, his booth is still empty and no one is willing to stay.

Long before the food festival, some regular customers in the store swore that they would come to cheer, but they haven't shown up until now.

Bai Xiaobai looked left, right, and front. The barbecue booths, tofu cooking booths, and siu mai booths beside him were all so popular that they were crowded.

The waiters were full, and the business owners showed satisfied smiles, obviously pretending to be full.

For the leaders of the municipal government, the food festival is conducive to promoting the exchange of food culture and the vigorous development of the tourism industry. For ordinary businesses, it is actually an opportunity to make money.

Bai Xiaobai didn't feel very happy at the moment, and it wasn't because he was jealous of the popularity of other booths.

It's just that there is a big gap between now and yesterday.

The shop in front of him is full of big ostentation dragons, full of popularity.And in this little food festival booth, he has to start everything from scratch.

Everything is back to square one.

Never give up, never get discouraged!Is always shining gold.

Bai Xiaobai smiled flatly, secretly encouraging himself.

"This is the number of your booth." A staff member wearing a yellow hat interrupted Bai Xiaobai's thoughts, and he took a big sticker and handed it to Bai Xiaobai, "You stick it on a conspicuous place. "

This sticker is pre-made by the food festival organizing committee for each booth merchant. The main purpose is to facilitate people to edit the booth number of the merchant when voting for the famous snack award.

Bai Xiaobai took the number and looked at it "..."

44 number.

Chinese people are more or less sensitive to the number 4.

Bai Xiaobai is a four-good young man, in fact he doesn't care too much about this number, but he can definitely avoid this situation by the organizing committee, for example, cancel the number 44 directly, and directly 43 after 45 is all right.

"By the way, this is a small note book for food festival booth merchants, which the organizing committee asked to distribute." The little yellow hat took out another booklet and put it on the side of the booth, and then happened to see the bookmarked on a whiteboard. selling price.

900 yuan for a bowl of clear soup powder?

This pricing is ten times my daily salary...

Zizizi, I think there is something wrong with this little boss.

The little yellow hat glanced at Bai Xiaobai with a strange look, and then hurriedly walked down to the next booth.

Bai Xiaobai received another [-]-point crit in his heart, but he had already cultivated the Eight Desolation Six-alloy bell jar in his heart, and this [-]-point crit was like scratching an itch, completely irrelevant.

He picked up the pamphlet and began to read it carefully.

The Food Festival Organizing Committee has prepared two brochures this year, one is the food festival brochure, which is mainly aimed at customers who visit the food festival.

At the entrance of the food festival square, it will be sent by volunteers for free.

The brochure printed the layout of the food booths in XX Plaza, publicized the precautions, and noted all the businesses of this food festival, as well as some food, mainly to facilitate customers to find their favorite food.

Another notice manual is for booth merchants.

This is nothing more than written precautions, to keep the ingredients clean, to have a good service attitude, and to prepare spare samples for testing.

For example, in university canteens, spare food samples are prepared for each dish. This is mainly for fear of emergencies, such as food poisoning, so that the police can test whether there is a problem with the food.

After Bai Xiaobai finished reading the pamphlet, it was almost noon.

Today's weather is excellent, cloudless, the blue sky is exceptionally clear, and the warm sun is neither hot nor dry, which is just right.

More and more people entered the XX Plaza, and many people settled their lunch directly in front of the food festival booth.

It's just that no one is willing to try Bai Xiaobai's new food so far.

In fact, during this period, although some old customers of Xiaobai Restaurant passed by Bai Xiaobai's booth.

But they hesitated a bit when they saw the pricing.

One is that this new product is too expensive, and it’s still noodles and noodles in clear soup...

Furthermore, this time they needed to charge an extra [-] yuan for the package price, which once again made them shrink back.

Third, seeing that there was no one at Bai Xiaobai's booth, I always felt very embarrassed to go forward.

In this way, Bai Xiaobai's customer volume in the morning is 0, his income is 0, and his happiness index is still 0.

The morning is over, and it's finally time for lunch.
