After traveling through time, the restaurant I opened became a big hit

Chapter 70: Counterfeit Stall

The remaining days were handed over to Lin Jiaying and a few others, and Jiang Li watched the live broadcast in the hotel.

Wait until the end of the day and then help clean up.

This bamboo shoot stewed with rice was unexpectedly popular.

The reason may be that the bamboo shoots rice they made was so fragrant and delicious.

Moreover, bamboo shoots stewed with rice is also a memory of many middle-aged and elderly people, which may have aroused their nostalgia for the past.

When the last day came, all the contestants gathered again at the recording site of the program.

This time, some people were happy, some were sad, and some groups were smiling. You could tell at a glance that the sales were really good.

Some groups had gloomy faces and were unwilling to say a few words.

Jiang Li and his friends naturally belonged to the former. They walked into the scene talking and laughing, attracting a lot of people's attention.

Their sales have been very hot these days, attracting a lot of people's attention, both overtly and covertly.

We all live in the same small town, so information spreads very quickly.

A delicious bamboo shoot rice restaurant appeared in the square on the west side of the town. After asking around, I found out that he was a contestant of the "Master Chef Competition".

Even Chu Shaochengdu cast his glance over here, and his gaze lingered on Jiang Li for a moment.

It seemed that she was selected from the same audition as him, and Chu Shaocheng felt that she looked familiar.

But he just took a quick look. He was very confident in himself and that all the chefs in their group were very capable.

Soon it was time for the program team to announce the rankings, and everyone was still sitting in their old seats.

After the first episode, the group ranked last will be eliminated.

However, the program team started announcing the results from the 19th place, which left plenty of suspense.

Jiang Li's group was in third place, which can be said to be a very high ranking.

It was the first time for Jiang Li, who was standing on the stage to receive the award, to be stared at by so many people, and she was a little uncomfortable with it.

The first place went to Chu Shaocheng and his team, whose keywords were "homely, vinegar flavor."

There happened to be a chef in their group who was very good at home cooking. When he saw this keyword, he thought of fried rice with aged vinegar.

The sour taste of vinegar directly enhances the taste of fried rice, and every grain of rice is wrapped in the aroma of aged vinegar.

One bite and the sour aroma fills the air, whetting your appetite.

It just so happens that the residents here love vinegar very much, and the Zhenjiang aged vinegar they use when making fried rice is a very famous and well-loved local vinegar.

So naturally, their aged vinegar fried rice has the highest sales.

It can be said that with the right time, right place and right people, it would be difficult not to get first place.

Finally, after announcing the first place, the last place will be announced.

This elimination phase always makes people feel a little uncomfortable.

Everyone comes with great expectations, but some people always leave early.

But if you think about it from another perspective, how can this not be considered a growth experience?

After sending off the five eliminated chefs, the production team gave an envelope to the remaining contestants.

Inside is the recording time and location of the second episode.

As a reward for the top three, the program team will tell them in advance about the theme of the second episode.

The theme of the next issue is "Integration".

With thoughts on this topic, Jiang Li, Lin Jiaying and the other three said goodbye one by one and once again boarded the train back to City A.

Of course, Jiang Li did not forget to bring back delicious food for Jiang Xu. In addition to clothes, the suitcase was full of food. It was morning when they arrived in City A. Jiang Li slept well at home all day.

After getting up, I went to Yuelai Restaurant.

To be honest, although she had only been away for a week, she really missed this little restaurant.

It was dinner time when she went there, and the restaurant was full, but there were fewer customers waiting outside than before.

Jiang Li noticed this situation, maybe it’s because people don’t like to eat home-cooked meals recently.

As soon as he entered the door, Zhuo Zhiming, who was packing takeout, saw Jiang Li.

After seeing her, Zhuo Zhiming first felt surprised, and then became extremely angry.

"Sister Jiang, you're back!"

Jiang Li felt a little strange and found a stool to sit down.

"What's going on?"

It turned out that a stall selling boxed lunches appeared in the small night market in front of the university town.

The name is "Yue Lai Boxed Lunch", and even the signboard looks the same as Yue Lai Restaurant.

The dishes sold there are the same as those sold at Yue Lai Restaurant every day, so most of the students only sell there.

They thought that since it was the same store, buying at the stall would be cheaper than at the store, and it was also closer, so why not?

If Zhuo Zhiming’s roommate hadn’t bought one yesterday and brought it back, he would have tasted it and found that the taste was not right.

I kept an eye on it and waited for Zhuo Zhiming to come back and try it, and by the way, ask him whether Jiang Li really set up a stall outside.

Zhuo Zhiming naturally said no. Jiang Li had been out of town all this time and had no time to ask anyone to set up a stall.

He had gone to the night market on purpose before coming here this afternoon, and found that the stall was open quite early.

Moreover, they only set up the stall at night. Obviously, they go to Yuelai Restaurant at noon to see what dishes are available, cook them in the afternoon, and then set up the stall to sell them in the evening.

Zhuo Zhiming was so anxious that he almost rushed over to confront them, but reason prevailed.

But when he left, there were still many people queuing there. They must have made a mistake.

"Sister Jiang, go and have a look!"

A guest who had heard their conversation and had been typing on his phone since the beginning looked up at the two of them.

"Boss, I've taken a photo of that stall and posted it in the group, telling everyone not to be fooled."

Zhuo Zhiming, who hadn't thought of this, immediately gave him a thumbs up. He was so busy being angry that he almost forgot to inform the unaware guests.

Jiang Li thought about it, then said, "Can you show me the photo?"

"Oh, okay." The student handed over his phone and opened a few photos he had taken when passing by.

Jiang Li looked at the picture carefully and found that it was just as Zhuo Zhiming and others said.

The sign above this stall says Yuelai Boxed Lunch, and the names of the dishes are written on a blackboard next to it, but the prices are much cheaper than those in restaurants.

Jiang Li thought that she sold them cheaply because the ingredients in the system had no cost, and there were only water, electricity and rent bills every month.

What about them? They buy cheaper than her. Are they really making money?
"It seems that he came prepared."

Every day they follow the menu of Yuelai Restaurant and make whatever Zhang Dashan cooks.

"This is really too much. Sister Jiang, I must go and seek justice!"

"I'm going too. The food they cook is really bad. They are simply ruining the reputation of Yue Lai Restaurant!"

"We'll go too."
