Douluo Continent on the tip of the tongue

Chapter 280 Reasonable Qi Han
The cold food business in the afternoon is still going smoothly.

After the four girls tasted the squirrel mandarin fish, they all expressed their love for this dish, and their acceptance of this dish was even higher than that of the chopped pepper fish head.

Which girl can refuse such a sour and appetizing, sweet but not greasy, crispy and delicious fish?
Not good at all!
And when night fell, when Qi Han sent the four daughters away, he was surprised to find an acquaintance appeared in front of Han Shi's door.

"Senior Xuan Ye?" Qi Han greeted the other party, and then said, "Are you here for a meal, but the shop is already past business hours."

"Uh... no." Xuan Ye shook his head, his face showed a bit of embarrassment, "I am here because I have an unfeeling invitation."

Is it Haishen Pavilion looking for something for me?
Because Qi Han only knew Xuan Ye's identity at this level, he immediately had such a guess.

He nodded thoughtfully, "Then come in and sit down first, come in and talk."

When Xuan Ye sat down, he brought two glasses of water and sat opposite Xuan Ye, "Senior Xuan Ye, is this something related to the Sea God Pavilion?"

"That's not true." Xuan Ye shook his head, "It's like this, because the old man loves to eat delicious food and has nothing to do in his free time, he serves as the president of the Food Association of Shrek City."

Shrek City Food Association?

Is senior Xuan Ye actually the president there?
But thinking of this senior's easy-going personality and love of eating food in the past, it is not against harmony at all.

Now that Xuan Ye mentioned this identity, Qi Han naturally guessed the other party's intention.

The Shrek Food Festival, which will be held a week later, is organized by this Shrek City Food Association. Obviously, Xuanye's coming here is related to the food festival.

Registration for the food festival started three days ago, but Qi Han was not in a hurry because he hadn't learned all the two-star recipes yet, and he planned to sign up for the competition after learning, so he didn't go yet.

"Senior, is it about the food festival?"

"Yes." Xuanye's face was inevitably embarrassed. After all, he usually eats at Hanshi, but now he wants to announce something that is not good for Hanshi.

Although this was not his idea, but the result of a majority vote after discussion, he still felt a little ashamed of Qi Han.

But no matter how ashamed I feel, I still have to talk about the business.

"How much does Boss Xiao Qi know about food festivals?"

Hearing this, Qi Han pondered for a moment and then said, "As far as I know, the food festival should last for three days. After three days, the top ten dishes with the most votes will be announced and get different degrees of publicity and fame. Dishes were rated as diners' favorite food."

"That's right, but..." Xuan Ye changed his voice, "The emergence of this cold food festival may have a great impact on the food festival."

"At the food festival, there are no rewards for other dishes except for the top ten, but this time, there is a high probability that the top ten will be won by cold food."

As the person involved, Qi Han was a little confused when he heard this.

Not to mention, he hadn't thought about this before, but considering the situation of the food book before, the possibility of this is really quite high.

At this moment, he probably guessed Xuan Ye's reason for coming.

If the cold food occupies the top ten, the food festival will lose face.

Although it's not his fault, it's just that the opponent is too good, but Qi Han is still a very reasonable person in his bones.

He also expects to taste all kinds of delicacies from all over the world at the food festival. What if the food festival fails?
Therefore, without much hesitation, Qi Han said bluntly, "Senior Xuan, how do you think this matter should be resolved?"

Anyway, for the side mission 1 released by Ruyi, he only needs to get No.[-] by himself and make cold food dishes the diners' favorite food. As for dominating the list, he doesn't really care too much.

How should I put it... When the opponent is too weak, dominating the leaderboard doesn't give much sense of accomplishment.

Seeing the "I understand you" expression on Qi Han's face, Xuan Ye was also slightly relieved.

"It's like this. The Food Association discussed it and decided to limit each restaurant to a maximum of nine dishes from this year's food festival. I don't know if this is the case... Boss Qi can accept it?"

Up to nine courses to participate in?

So this is how to prevent dominance?
For a moment, Qi Han was a little dumbfounded.

He originally thought that Xuanye was going to let him release water or something, so naturally he couldn't agree.

As for how many dishes to take part in, Qi Han actually didn't have too many requirements.

His purpose of participating in the food festival is nothing more than two.

The first one, get the first one, and complete the side task six.

The second is to let more foreign diners who are attracted by the food festival come to Hanshi to eat, and help him complete the main task seven faster.

Other than that, he didn't have too many other requirements, so the limit of nine dishes didn't have much impact on him.

But... Jiu Dao?
Qi Han's heart skipped a beat.

What he originally prepared for the food festival were those new dishes that had not yet been launched.

The new dishes that have not yet been launched include Wensi Tofu, Yuzhi Longjin, Squirrel Mandarin Fish, and Chopped Pepper Fish Head. If all goes well, there will be four two-star dishes that will be released in the future. Here are the eight dishes.

As for Dinghu Shangsu, Qi Han still has Bishu in his heart.

It is absolutely impossible to finish before the food festival.

If you want to launch the nine ways, it will be a troublesome matter for Qi Han who chooses phobia.

Eight new dishes are definitely going to be contested, so who will you choose for the remaining one?
After pondering for a moment, Qi Han shook his head helplessly.

This is really not a good choice.

Or... simply let the eight new dishes participate, and the previous dishes will not participate?

That's a good idea.

Anyway, there are at most nine, but it doesn't have to be nine.

One more top ten position can be regarded as giving others a little more chance.

Thinking of this, Qi Han smiled, "Senior Xuanye, this time Hanshi will only compete in eight dishes."

This…

Xuan Ye's eyes widened suddenly, "Are you serious?"

You know, one more dish on the top ten list of the food festival will bring great benefits and reputation to a restaurant.

Before coming, he guessed that Qi Han would agree, because Boss Xiao Qi's temper has always been pretty good.

But he really didn't expect that Qi Han would voluntarily reduce another dish in order to support the food festival, making such a sacrifice and concession.

Yes, in Xuan Ye's heart, Qi Han only offered eight dishes, and there is no other possibility except for this reason.

For a moment, this centenarian old man couldn't help feeling a little moved in his heart.

Boss Xiaoqi, he is a good boy!
After confirming that Qi Han really only offered eight dishes, Xuan Ye stood up and gave Qi Han a grateful look.

No, Qi Han has made such a sacrifice, he must make up for it, otherwise his heart will not be at peace.

Hmm... It's decided. This time, I will secretly focus on Hanshi's top ten dishes in the food festival, and put more efforts in promoting fame!

"Boss Xiao Qi, don't worry, I, Lao Xuan, have written down this favor!"

"Huh?" Looking at the grateful expression on Xuan Ye's face, Qi Han showed a trace of confusion.

This... Did you imagine something weird?

Forget it, it doesn't matter.

He didn't stay in Hanshi for a long time, and after getting Qi Han's reply, Xuan Ye quickly said goodbye and left.

And Qi Han comforted Gulu, and carried him up to the second floor.

The day's business is over, it's time to sleep.
