There are five tables lined up in front of the magic screen, and there is a voting box in front of each table. Catering association staff wearing red vests are taking votes and registering them. Every vote has to be passed on the crystal ball at hand and issued. Those with green light are counted directly, while those with red light are regarded as invalid votes.
"Hey, look at this restaurant, why is the unit price of this dish so high? Tofu curd is 200 copper coins per portion! Roujiamo is 300 copper coins per portion! Then Yangzhou fried rice costs 600 copper coins! The most expensive braised chicken It was directly settled at 800 copper coins!" Among the staff who were checking the information, a short-haired young man couldn't help but exclaimed softly. He held a ticket in his hand and said with an incredulous look on his face: "A guest actually spent 1,000 copper coins on a breakfast. copper!"
"Eh? Isn't this the restaurant? Are there customers this early in the morning?" Luther and Alvin, who had just put down the tables and chairs, had a look of surprise on their faces.
"I see, the boss is probably worried that the ticket is not too ugly, so he asked his employees to secretly send one. Who would spend 1,000 copper coins to go to that corner restaurant for breakfast early in the morning? But our vote counting method is that one person can cast one valid vote per day, and maybe he can get ten votes in the end." Alvin curled his lips and expressed disdain for this behavior.
"I thought that only big restaurants could do this kind of thing. I didn't expect that this small restaurant would also do this. The amount of consumption accounts for 30% of the score. His ten tickets are worth a hundred dollars." Zhang. Let me tell you, the selection method of our ranking should have been changed a long time ago. More and more guests have begun to question our fairness." Luther shook his head and said a little annoyed.
"Shh, keep your voice down, are we, the lower-level employees, the ones who have the final say on this kind of thing? Although our Catering Association belongs to the City Lord's Mansion, it's not the restaurants of the Aden Chamber of Commerce that pay the most money every month. We don't have the final say on this kind of thing. Just turn a blind eye." Alvin hissed, looked around, and said a little nervously.
"I know it too, but after all, I have worked here for more than 20 years. The ranking list when I was young was not what it is now. The restaurant rankings voted by the guests themselves have been widely praised. Since then, Moulton After the family took complete control of the Aden Chamber of Commerce, everything changed. They just treated us as tools!" Luther sighed, a little annoyed, but also a little helpless.
"Is it that restaurant called Maimi? I also have one here, and it cost 1,300 copper coins!" At this moment, another ticket inspector said.
"Is there another one?" Luther and Alvin were surprised and even more angry.
"I have three more cards here, which cost 500 copper coins, 1,000 copper coins, and 1,100 copper coins respectively."
"I also have a two hundred copper coin here."
"Here are two more!"
The ticket inspectors made surprised sounds one after another. High-end consumption is not uncommon in Aden Square, but high-end dishes priced at several hundred copper coins usually only appear in high-end restaurants.
It is impossible for such a little-known restaurant to charge such a high price and sell so many portions during breakfast time.
Even at Ducasse Restaurant, it is impossible for anyone to order a roasted whole lamb for 2,500 copper coins this early in the morning, although the main reason is that the restaurant does not serve roasted whole lamb in the morning.
"Is this the first time this restaurant has participated in the ranking competition? Could it be said to be the dark horse in this competition?"
"A dark horse can't be so dark. Judging from this order, this 800 portion of braised chicken is still not enough. If I order three portions, I can go to Dukas and eat the roasted whole lamb!"
"That's right, I think this restaurant is probably weird. Is it falsely reporting the prices of its dishes?"
The ticket inspectors immediately started talking. One of them took out an information book and looked through it for a while. He pointed at the last restaurant on the list and said, "If they wrote it correctly when they signed up, the prices of the dishes in this restaurant are really... Like this, the price is the same as above.”
After hearing this, everyone suddenly became quiet. They all looked at the thin middle-aged man who stood aside and said nothing. One of them said: "Vice President, what do you think we should do about this?"
"Don't rush to a conclusion yet. As long as the tickets can pass the magic ball test, they will be recorded in the book. Count how many guests spent in the morning and the total amount. Wait until noon, I will go to the restaurant to see in person. If If it is really illegal, then you will be disqualified from the competition and permanently banned from the list." Robert pressed his hand and signaled everyone to be calm.
"Vice President Robert was just transferred from the City Lord's Mansion last year and has been working hard to correct the chaos in the rankings. Unfortunately, he can't stand alone and has been directly ignored. His words in the association are not counted at all. Now he can only come to the ticket checking site to watch. Appearance Under unusual circumstances, the dignified vice-president actually wanted to investigate in person. If there were more officials like this, our association would not be in this situation." Luther looked at Robert with a serious expression, respecting but also feeling a little pity.
"I think there must be something wrong with that restaurant. With Sir Robert here, at least we can't let him get too arrogant!" Alvin clenched his fists.
"Okay." Everyone nodded and continued to check the tickets. When they saw the tickets for Maimi's restaurant, they would be put aside alone. Soon, everyone had dozens of tickets at hand.
"Vice President, there are a total of 320 tickets, and the total consumption is... 150,400 copper coins!" Everyone gathered all the tickets together, and the old accountant with more than 30 years of ticket verification experience exclaimed.
There was a sudden silence, and everyone's expressions were both surprised and angry.
The breakfast turnover is 150,000 copper coins. Even the best breakfast restaurant in Aden Square cannot reach this terrifying amount.
But such a turnover came from a little-known restaurant. If it was normal, no one present would believe it.
"This is so arrogant! You don't pay attention to the rules at all!"
"Yes, Vice President, I don't think there is any need to investigate this at all. Let's just disqualify him from the list and put him on the blacklist that is permanently banned from the list."
The silence lasted for a while, and then someone started to speak up, looking somewhat excited.
"Give me the information about this restaurant. Don't rush to a conclusion yet. Let me go on an on-site inspection before making a decision." Robert also had a look of surprise on his face, but he also didn't rush to a conclusion.
A turnover of 150,000 yuan, even if the number of votes is small, is enough for this restaurant to be ranked among the top 100. If such a turnover can be maintained at noon and evening, it will not be difficult to squeeze into the top fifty.
"Okay, the information is all here. According to the information submitted by our inspector, this restaurant has been open for less than a month." The old accountant handed the information directly to Robert.
"Maimi Restaurant, the western end of Aden Square." Robert carefully read the non-detailed information for a while, then put down his hand and looked into the distance, frowning. If this chaos is not eradicated, the Restaurant Association will lose all credibility sooner or later. .
…
Mag knew nothing about what happened in the square. More than 300 votes were sent out in one morning, which made him a little worried about not being able to get on the list, especially since the sweet party and the salty party were fighting each other, and he was much too lazy to get the two spots. Think about it.
"Father, I'm back! I learned a new spell today!" Near noon, Amy's voice sounded from outside the door, with a bit of excitement.
