Douluo Continent on the tip of the tongue

Chapter 317 The most delicious, not the best
After thinking for a long time, Qi Han didn't think of how to deal with this situation. Seeing that several shop assistants were still looking at him eagerly, he smiled and said, "It's almost time, everyone go back first."

"You don't need to worry about the squirrel mandarin fish, as long as the number one is ours."

When the clerks heard this, they seemed to have the same reasoning. They quickly took their things and went home.

It was getting dark now, and it would not be safe for the girls if they went back later.

Watching the clerks disappear into the twilight, Qi Han closed the door and returned to the room on the second floor with Gulu in his arms.

There are still five days left for the first round of voting for the recommended votes. The problem of the low number of votes for Samsung recipes is not in a hurry. Maybe I need to think about it again.

Lying on the bed and closing his eyes, Qi Han quickly fell asleep.

...

The next morning, Qi Han was still the same as yesterday. He was woken up early by Ruyi, and then went to the middle-aged owner's store in the food street to have breakfast.

There are indeed many types of breakfast in this store, Qi Han only ate a few of them for the time being, and there are a dozen or so that he has never heard of, and he hasn't had time to taste them yet.

Qi Han was also curious about the delicacies that he hadn't tasted yet, so he chose to come here again without much hesitation.

Seeing Qi Han coming again, the middle-aged boss smiled a little more, "Boss Qi, what do you want to eat today?"

Perhaps because Qi Han came earlier this morning, there were no customers in front of the booth at the moment.

Qi Han first looked at the breakfast price on the display, and then said, "Here is a crab cake, a crispy ball, and a sweet and soft taro."

"Another bowl of porridge."

Qi Han said that yesterday's white porridge really surprised him, and he wants to try it again today.

As for the other three delicacies, they were new things that Qi Han hadn't tasted yesterday, but wanted to try today.

Like the previous Qingyu Cake, these three foods are all special breakfast types from all over the Douluo Continent.

"Okay, Boss Qi, wait a moment." The middle-aged boss chuckled and started to work.

These foods have already been prepared. The pastries are placed in a steamer in advance to prevent them from drying out or getting cold. The porridge is placed in a large pot with a lid on to keep it warm.

Taking advantage of the time when the middle-aged boss helped Qi Han take out the breakfast he ordered, Qi Han carefully observed the breakfast price list hanging on the side.

At this moment, he suddenly thought of the unsolved problem yesterday.

Can this middle-aged boss give himself some inspiration?

He hadn't noticed it just now, but now that he looked carefully, he found something different.

On the owner's price list, the prices of various dishes displayed from front to back are uneven. Sometimes the last dish is still very cheap, and the next dish becomes more expensive.

"Boss Qi?"

The voice of the middle-aged man brought Qi Han back to his senses, he had already prepared Qi Han's breakfast.

Taking the plate with one hand and the porridge with the other, Qi Han didn't immediately turn around and put down the breakfast. He looked at the middle-aged man seriously, and asked, "Hello, I would like to ask, what is the basis for you to arrange the prices? ?”

"The basis for arranging the prices?" The middle-aged man scratched his head and looked at his price list. "You mean the order of these foods from front to back?"

"Yes."

"This..." The middle-aged man smiled, "Of course it is adjusted according to whether it sells well, and the food that sells better and more should be placed in a higher position."

"However, is there some food that is delicious but not sold well because of the higher price?" Qi Han couldn't help but ask.

"Of course there are." The middle-aged man pointed to one of the last few foods on the price list, "For example, this food is called Dragon Rolling, which can be said to be one of the most delicious foods in my store. But because there are some dragon-type soul beast meat in it, the cost is very high, so I have to set a price of 5 gold soul coins."

"This price is fine for lunch or dinner, but it is very expensive for breakfast, so not many diners come to our store to try it, so I put it at the end."

"But..." Qi Han raised his brows slightly, "This dragon roll should be the best food in your booth, shouldn't the best be placed at the front?"

Hearing Qi Han's words, the middle-aged boss suddenly fell silent.

After a while, he smiled softly, "Boss Qi, I asked my father this question when I was young."

"My appearance was passed down from my father, and my cooking skills were also taught by him."

"At that time, I just learned to cook all kinds of breakfast food with him, and I also asked him, this dragon roll is so expensive, wouldn't it make more money to put it in the front?"

"My father said something to me at that time, and I still remember it to this day." The middle-aged boss's face was full of reminiscence and sorrow, and he smiled lightly after a while, "I will give you these words now, hoping to explain it to you. confused."

"For a chef, the best is not the most delicious, but the diner's favorite."

Qi Han stood where he was, suddenly fell silent.

It wasn't until a new diner came to the store behind him and started talking with the middle-aged man that Qi Han came to his senses as if he had just woken up from a dream.

"Hoo..." Breathing a sigh of relief, Qi Han turned around and put the breakfast in his hands on a table in front of the stall, and then sat down, with a thoughtful look on his face.

The middle-aged man's words were like a slap in the face to him.

As more and more dishes are mastered, the cold food business is getting more and more prosperous, and Qi Han's mentality has also become a little impetuous.

Three-star dishes have magical effects and magical visions, and it is much more difficult to control than one-star and two-star dishes.

For Qi Han, every time he successfully masters such a miraculous dish, the sense of accomplishment far exceeds that of a one-star or two-star dish.

So he instinctively assumed that diners would fall in love with these dishes, too.

It's like longing for the approval of others after working hard to accomplish something.

But this is just his assumption, he has always ignored the fact that the price of three-star dishes is unacceptable for most diners.

Three-star dishes are indeed delicious, but the price is always an important reason that limits its acceptance by more diners.

So it is what Qi Han thinks is the best and the most delicious, but it is not what diners think is their favorite.

Perhaps this is also the reason why squirrel mandarin fish won the first place.

A serving of squirrel mandarin fish only costs 52 gold soul coins. This price is affordable for most cold food diners, and the amazing appearance of squirrel mandarin fish, the amazing fried aroma and the overall taste The perfect taste makes this dish stand out from the two-star dishes.

There may be an addition of a new dish just launched, but this dish became the first without any moisture.

There was a little more smile on Qi Han's face, and he began to enjoy his breakfast happily.

Readjusting his mentality, Qi Han also had a choice regarding the low number of recommended votes for three-star dishes.

He chooses to respect diners' decisions.

Since three-star dishes get fewer votes, put three-star dishes in the back
Even if it couldn't be hung on the price wall because of the number of votes, Qi Han also respected the result.

After all, the number of recommendation votes represents how much diners like the dish.

Put the dishes that diners prefer more on the front.

This is reasonable.

(ps: I have always wanted to write this paragraph. Some readers may think that the three-star recipes should be weighted, or the diners who have tasted the three-star recipes should be weighted, so that the three-star recipes will remain at the top, but this will violate the original intention of cold food. Food can There are star ratings, but diners can’t be treated differently because of the amount of money they spend, things that are expensive and out of the crowd can’t stand out.)

Food can be divided into stars , but diners should not be treated differently because of the amount of money they spend. It is impossible for expensive things to stand out from the masses.
