Queen of Nongmen: Hexagrams determine the universe

Chapter 129 Competition 2
The next second dish, Quan Fu Lou won again!

For the third dish, Quan Fu Lou won again!

For the fourth dish, Quan Fu Lou won again!

……

For the tenth dish, Quan Fu Lou still won!
These eleven chefs will vote for every dish that Bazhen Building serves.

For every dish served by Quanfulou, the eleven passers-by will vote for it.

And every time the magistrate's wife would cast the decisive vote for Quanfulou.

The onlookers started whispering.

"what happened?"

"That's right, why did all the chefs vote for Bazhenlou, but passers-by all voted for Quanfulou?"

"This is too weird!"

"It seems to have been discussed. However, the county magistrate's wife will not favor anyone. I heard that the inspector is coming to Qinghe County to inspect the political achievements. The winning restaurant will have the honor to serve the inspector who came from afar. For a grand reception banquet, the county magistrate's wife will definitely uphold a fair and impartial attitude and select the restaurant with the highest level to host the dinner."

"Not necessarily. Didn't the county magistrate admire the young owner of Quanfulou? Maybe the county magistrate's wife will take a look at the county magistrate's face?"

……

Just when the county magistrate's wife was about to announce the final result of the competition, Manager Fu finally couldn't hold back any longer. He stood up abruptly and shouted: "This is impossible!"

"What's impossible?" Ye Qiongdan smiled slightly, looking extremely calm.

"How could you Quanfulou win Bazhenlou? Did you bribe these dozen passers-by?" Manager Fu questioned.

Upon hearing this, the passers-by judges who tasted the food were not happy.

"Buy? How to buy? Quanfulou can buy us, but can he also buy the magistrate's wife's maid? Besides, the wind is so strong in mid-air, even if the county magistrate's maid is ready to throw the satin ball to me , you may not be able to throw it accurately!"

"That's right, your skills are not as good as others', and you still have to suspect other people's schemes and tricks. I think you Bazhenlou, it's hard to live up to your reputation!"

"The eyes of our people are sharp! Maybe those chefs were bought by your Bazhen Building!"

……

"Yes, those chefs must have been bought by Bazhenlou!" one of the onlookers shouted loudly.

"It must have been bought!
"It was bought!"

……

More and more people shouted, and finally, almost everyone inside and outside the building shouted.

Under their shouts, Steward Fu was sweating coldly on his back.

He and the steward's mood changed from cloudy to sunny, he smiled and took a sip of tea, and even couldn't help humming a little song.

Master Su and Ye Qiongdan looked at each other without speaking.

After the eleven passers-by magistrates were enraged, the people in the crowd who started booing were those arranged by Master Su. They successfully guided the public opinion and made people suspect that the Bazhen Tower was a fraud.

Before that, the public would definitely not think so, but after more and more people shouted this, under the influence of the unconscious effect of the masses, they would naturally agree with this view.

"My Bazhen Restaurant is the most resounding restaurant sign in the Northland. Do you still have to rely on such indecent means of buying the chef to win you, a little-known Quanfu Restaurant? Isn't this to make people cry? What a joke!" Manager Fu yelled angrily.

"That's how it is," Ye Qiongdan stood up, "how about an anonymous vote. Now, everyone knows which dish is from Quanfulou and which dish is from Bazhenlou. Let us How about giving each magistrate a small slip of paper, asking them to write the name of the restaurant that they think cooks better on the slip of paper, and then let people come to vote for the public, how about it?"

Manager Fu's face turned pale.

Sitting in the crowd, Guanshi He couldn't help laughing out loud, ouch, this little girl is really interesting, did Guanshi Fu meet her nemesis this time?

"No, no! In the competition rules we agreed in advance, there is no such thing as anonymous voting!" Manager Fu pursed his lips and tried his best to pretend to be calm.

"Boss Fu, this moment and that moment. I did this to eliminate your suspicions. Do you want to look at everyone like this and misunderstand your Bazhen Building? This is not conducive to the long-term development of Bazhen Building. !” Ye Qiongdan smiled slightly.

"no!"

"Manager Fu's attitude is so firm, is this really tricky?" Ye Qiongdan raised his eyebrows.

"My Bazhen Building is not insulted by you like this! My manager said that I have never bribed others, but I have never bribed others! Little girl, you should do business in an upright manner, and you should not use these shady methods. If you do this, business is done Not for long!" Fu Guanshi said with a righteous face.

Ye Qiongdan didn't talk nonsense with him, and looked directly at the crowd watching.

"Common people, everyone knows that their Bazhen Restaurant is a chain restaurant under the Wu's Chamber of Commerce, the largest chamber of commerce in Northland. Buying people? Simply intimidating them is enough to make them vote for Bazhenlou willingly," Ye Qiongdan slightly hooked her lips, "What's more, the ten signature dishes of Bazhenlou are rarely seen among ordinary people. Someone has seen it before, these eleven chefs are probably familiar with them, right?"

Everyone nodded.

"You said, should there be another anonymous vote?" Ye Qiongdan asked loudly.

"Yes!" The audience inside and outside the building shouted in unison.

Manager Fu was stuck on the back of a tiger, and wanted to leave with a livid face.

Unexpectedly, when passing by He Guanshi's side, he stretched out his foot and tripped him.

While drinking tea with the steward, he said leisurely: "Old Fu, escaping is not your style! Besides, this matter is just a scene between Bazhen Building and Quanfu Building in Qinghe County. The competition, to put it on a bigger scale, this has affected the entire brand of our Wu's Chamber of Commerce! Isn't your evasive attitude today recruiting blackmail for the Wu's Chamber of Commerce? When I see the chief manager of Yiling County , we must talk about this matter in front of him.”

Manager Fu can't wait to crush Manager He to ashes!

This was the most embarrassing day in his life, but he and the steward had to be the shit-stirring stick!

Manager Fu had no choice but to close his eyes and acquiesce to the matter under the "kidnapping" of Manager He.

Seeing that both parties had no objections, the magistrate's wife nodded.

Master Su asked someone to bring a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and asked the boy to cut the rice paper into a stack of small pieces of paper the size of a palm, and then ground a inkstone inkstone.

A chef said with some embarrassment: "I can't read, I can't write."

"How about this, if you want to vote for Bazhenlou, draw a vertical line on the paper, and if you want to vote for Quanfulou, draw a circle on the paper." Ye Qiongdan suggested.

Manager Fu was dejected, with a straight face, and did not raise any objections to this.

The county magistrate's wife took the lead and walked to the table, raised the sleeve of her right hand with her left hand, picked up a brush with her right hand, dipped it in thick black ink, drew a circle on the paper, then turned the paper over, pressed Under the inkstone.

After making eye contact, the chefs also filed forward and raised their brushes...

After a cup of tea, all 23 sheets of paper were pressed under the inkstone.

The county magistrate's wife glanced at the maid A-Zhen behind her, who nodded, took out a stack of papers under the paperweight, walked up to the crowd, held up the first piece of paper and read: "One ticket for Quanfulou. "

The maid turned the small paper and stopped for a moment in front of everyone. What appeared in front of them was a small piece of paper with circles drawn on it.

"Two votes for Quan Fu Lou."

"Three votes for Quanfulou."

"Four votes for Quanfulou."

……

The more the maid sang the votes, the more the manager's heart sank.

He didn't expect that no chef would vote for Bazhenlou.

As the saying goes, freezing three feet does not happen in a day. Bazhen Restaurant has seized the business of other restaurants in Qinghe County for so many years. Which restaurant will not be dissatisfied with it?
Under the threat of Manager Fu, they had no choice but to vote for Bazhenlou in the real-name voting.

But anonymous voting is different. Firstly, Bazhenlou's cooking is not as good as Quanfulu's. Secondly, they also want to vent their grievances!

So what if Manager Fu is angry?

How did he know who among the chefs voted for Quan Fu Lou?

But the chefs never expected that all the chefs who were invited voted for Quan Fu Lou, and actually slapped Manager Fu in the face!
"23 tickets for Quanfu Building." Finally, the maid showed the last small note in front of everyone.

"Amazing!" Someone in the crowd shouted, and then he started applauding!
His applause infected others, and others began to applaud vigorously, making the applause more and more enthusiastic.

After the applause stopped, Manager Fu said with a livid face, "This is a conspiracy! This is a naked conspiracy! These chefs must have been bribed by you Quan Fulou, so they will be in this round of voting." , turn against each other!"

"Anonymous voting has become their umbrella, they are just telling the truth, what? Manager Fu? Could it be that the entire business community in Qinghe County has become yours?" Ye Qiongdan directly gave him a big hat.

Sure enough, the county magistrate's wife frowned, very displeased.

Even the county magistrate dared not say that Qinghe County was his only place of speech. How could he, a grassroots man, dare to act like this in Qinghe County?

Did he take the county magistrate seriously?
"It's because their skills were inferior to others in the past, and they hold a grudge, so this time they are maliciously retaliating!" Manager Fu said angrily.

"Whether it's malicious revenge or speaking for the facts," Ye Qiongdan smiled slightly, "In the first voting, we narrowly beat Bazhenlou by one more vote for each dish; and in the second voting In the middle of the war, we have won an overall victory, what is this? This is what the people want! This is the general trend! Fu Guanshi, you Bazhenlou lost!"

Manager Fu's face was a little pale, he pursed his lips tightly, he never thought that after so many years of ups and downs in the business world, in the end, he would fall hard on a young yellow-haired girl.

"Pa, pa, pa..." He clapped his hands and looked at Guanshi Fu gloatingly, "Boss Fu, you've completely disgraced our Bazhen Building, don't worry, this matter I will definitely report the matter to the higher authorities!"
