The Days of Opening a Restaurant on an Abnormal Earth

Big Stomach King Competition, this competition sounds very interesting. Therefore, the competition held in the square in front of the Caoyang Road subway station attracted many citizens who were not in a hurry to stop and watch.

Just as modern online sales are impacting physical stores, many physical clothing stores in Huaihai are unsustainable. Even Qipu Road, the largest clothing wholesale market in the past, is no longer the grand occasion of daily crowds.

In modern society, the development of the Internet and the express delivery industry has also made it difficult for many convenience stores to do business. To give a simple example, nowadays, especially those who go to work, who doesn't have an app called takeaway in their mobile phones?

Just like the three red, yellow and blue knights that Zhang Tong saw when he first opened the store, now everyone who opens a restaurant cannot do without the red, yellow and blue three knights. Especially those who sell simple meals, more than half of their business has been robbed by takeaways.

If you don't do takeaways yourself, it will be difficult for many stores to survive only on the business of physical stores. Restaurants like Zhang Tong who rely on chef skills and sell cheap routes are anomalies in Huaihai and cannot be regarded as a common phenomenon.

In fact, the business of the Family Mart convenience store has been greatly impacted by the food delivery website. Anyone who has bought things from the Family Mart convenience store knows it. The products of FamilyMart are generally expensive, and the price is 25%~50% more expensive than outside. However, this is also the norm in 24-hour convenience stores, and the prices are a bit higher.

Family Mart has been based in Huaihai for so many years, and it has allowed them to expand their territory and become the largest 24-hour convenience store in Huaihai. The main contributor to the entry into Huaihai in 2005 and defeating the old convenience store Haode is Family Mart.

Among the 24-hour convenience stores in Huaihai, Haode is the only convenience store that has a cigarette card and can sell cigarettes. Family Mart, Lawson and 7-11 cannot sell cigarettes.

Being able to sell cigarettes is Haode's greatest weapon, and making good bento is the family's greatest weapon. At the same time, bento should be regarded as the most cost-effective product in the Family Mart convenience store.

From the original eight-yuan bento to the rise in prices, it is now priced at 12 to 16 yuan. Family Mart Bento has always been a very cost-effective product in Huaihai City.

Relying on the popularity of Family Mart's bento boxes, Family Mart convenience stores have driven the sales of package combinations including desserts, drinks and fruits. It can be said that bento is a very important product for the whole family.

But because of the rise of the food delivery industry, especially the current food delivery is in the stage of burning money. Are you hungry and Meituan have a lot of red envelope discounts, and some stores regularly launch welfare policies. As a result, the takeaway industry is booming, which has to a large extent backlogged the production space of the whole family.

So the Family Mart Convenience Store held such a big eater competition, just to create a little topic, to promote the new bento or something.

The competition is half a month to accept registration, in fact, there has been a primary election before. The 30 contestants remaining on the stage are all contestants who have passed the preliminary round. The preliminary competition is relatively simple, which is to see who can finish three family bentos in the shortest time.

And today's main competition is to compete who can eat the most bento within 30 minutes.

Zhang Tong squeezed from the outer circle to the inner circle to watch the excitement, but there were too many people. Hundreds of people surrounded it inside and out. Thirty contestants are already in place on the temporary high platform.

In order to do publicity, the whole family still spent some thought. There was an emcee announcing the scene, and a local TV station in Huaihai was filming. It should be able to record programs or news. I just don't know which program this side story will be aired on.

Modern people are quite strange. Many people don't like to eat, but they especially like to watch others eat. Even pay to watch people eat.

The Big Eater Competition attracted many people to watch, and some even used their mobile phones to broadcast the live broadcast to their friends. Because many games of the big eater are watched on TV, and they are all foreigners. There are still relatively few in China.

"Everyone, welcome to the Family Bento-Big Stomach King Contest!" The master of ceremonies on the high stage with a big oily hair, imitated the speaking tone of a foreign host. And he said a lot of commercials and warm-up jokes, the jokes were pretty good, and Zhang Tong was also amused.

"This competition is sponsored by Family Mart. A champion will be determined in the competition. The prize for the champion will be 5,000 yuan in cash plus a coupon for a year's lunch box from Family Mart!" Dayoutou explained passionately.

Zhang Tong felt that this prize didn't seem very attractive after hearing it. Five thousand yuan is okay, a year's bento? Um? Three hundred and sixty-five days, I will get tired of eating bento at home.

Although Zhang Tong thought so, Xiao Xiao, who was standing on the stage as a contestant, didn't think so. She stretched her hands and feet, she is determined to win today's competition!

Five thousand yuan is nothing, but it’s an all-you-can-eat bento for a year! How much is that worth! I haven't eaten enough for a long time. Last time I went to the store called Lao Zhang's shop and ate five bowls of noodles in a row.

The last time I went to the canteen to order a five-yuan vegetable, I paid two yuan for rice and ate eight bowls of rice (the rice bowls in the big canteen are relatively small), and the waiter came over. Also, most people are full after eating two bowls, but eating eight bowls alone is a bit much.

But there is no way, who told me to be hungry. Since awakening this ability, I haven't had a good meal several times. I wake up hungry every day. Now if I can have an all-you-can-eat bento every day, then I will wake up laughing from my dreams!

Xiao Xiao was gearing up, but Zhang Tong, who was under the stage, suddenly found someone he knew when he was driving the contestants on the stage. Huh! Isn't this the little girl with a big appetite? Is she coming too?

The thin and small Xiao Xiao is still very conspicuous among the contestants.

"The rules of the competition are that the contestant who can eat the most bento within 30 minutes will be the winner. Now the competition begins!" With the order of the big oil head host, the timing began.

There are ten open boxes of bento in front of each contestant, but as far as the organizers are concerned, this is just for viewing. It takes about ten minutes for a normal person to eat a box of bento. If you eat fast, you can finish it in six to seven minutes.

Some people who eat fast can finish a bento in about five minutes, but any faster will be difficult. Because the rice in the bento needs to be chewed, and there are boned things like chicken legs in it, it takes a little time to eat.

When the host said that the competition started, all the contestants quickly opened the bento in front of them and began to eat wildly. Especially a few tall men, they tasted so fast. It feels like the rice has been swallowed almost without two bites in the mouth.

And the most people watched the three tall men in the center of the stage compete, and the TV camera lens was also shifted here. The host with a big oiled hair was also appropriately playing up the atmosphere, such as cheering up or something.

But Zhang Tong in the audience opened his mouth wide, not because the three men are so good at eating. But when the game entered the tenth minute and the fastest one of the three men finished the third bento, a weak voice came over.

Xiao Xiao raised her hand and said weakly: "Report to the conference, I have finished eating my bento." There was only an empty bento box and ten chicken leg bones left in front of her.
