"Two … two thousand tickets?" Luther turned to Meg with a surprised look on his face. Two thousand tickets wasn't a lot compared to the tens of thousands of tickets that a typical restaurant would require, but for a restaurant that had only recently opened, two thousand tickets was a little excessive.
"That's right." Meg nodded. If the votes were related to how much the customers spent, then he was very confident again. There was probably no restaurant in the Aden Square whose prices were higher than his. Judging by the number of customers who came in every day, two thousand tickets would probably only last him for a few days.
Spending a few thousand to get a Haagen-Dazs recipe was definitely worth it. As the representative of high-end ice cream, Meg was actually quite fond of it himself. He didn't think that the system would give him this as a reward.
Luther looked at Meg with a serious expression, and said, "Then I have to tell you that these tickets are non-refundable, and they'll become invalid after the expiration date. The magic anti-counterfeiting symbol on the tickets only lasts for 15 days, but if you don't have enough tickets, you can buy more at the voting booth."
"No problem. Come on in; I'll go get the money." Meg nodded before entering the restaurant.
"I didn't think that the owner would be so rich, but he's not very smart." Alvin chuckled.
"Shh, don't let them hear us. But since it's like this, we've completed our mission for today. There are exactly 2,000 tickets left in the bag. We've emptied them all at once." Luther's expression was also somewhat excited as he pushed open the door and entered the restaurant.
"Wow!" Both of their eyes widened as soon as they entered the restaurant.
There were two luxurious crystal chandeliers in the restaurant, and the warm yellow lights were very comfortable to look at. The 16 wooden tables were arranged in an orderly manner, and the colors and patterns on the tables and chairs were all the same, creating a very comfortable and harmonious atmosphere. Even though they couldn't understand the illustrations on the walls, the decorations hanging on the walls were quite eye-catching.
The two of them had been selling tickets at all of the restaurants in the Aden Square for years, so they were quite discerning. They had seen plenty of luxurious restaurants and restaurants that were hundreds of square meters in size, but this was the first time they had seen a restaurant that looked so comfortable and luxurious.
If they had to choose, they would rather have a meal here than those luxurious restaurants that were almost blinding and those big restaurants that could seat hundreds of people.
"This restaurant will definitely become popular!"
This was the first thought that came to their minds.
"Two dragon coins." Meg took the money from the counter and handed it to Luther.
"Alright, a restaurant can recommend a maximum of five dishes to compete for the rankings. Customers can also write down five dishes in a single vote. You can choose five dishes from the restaurant's menu, and we will record them for voting," Luther said to Meg after receiving the money.
"Five?" Meg's expression suddenly became awkward.
"Boss, just choose the five best-selling dishes in your restaurant. Generally speaking, these are the easiest ones to get on the list." Alvin said with a smile. They had seen this kind of situation many times. Many bosses were struggling with which dishes to put on the table.
"System, help me put the Braised Chicken and Rice on the menu. The price is 800 copper coins, and the rice is 50 copper coins per bowl." Meg said in his heart. He was not conflicted about which dish to choose, but there were too few dishes on the menu. He could not even get five dishes.
"Ding! Writing complete. 20 copper coins have been deducted, "the system's voice sounded.
"Then you guys can copy according to the menu. The sweet tofu pudding counts as one dish, and the savory one counts as one dish. That'll make it five dishes." Meg picked up a menu from a nearby table and handed it to Luther.
"There are only four dishes?!" Luther couldn't help but exclaim as he scanned the menu.
"This … this price … Boss, you didn't write it wrong, did you?" Alvin also leaned over to take a look, and his eyes immediately widened.
Even the cheapest dish on the menu cost 200 copper coins, and the most expensive, the Braised Chicken and Rice, cost 800 copper coins per bowl, and the rice was 50 copper coins per bowl!
They had scoured the entire Aden Square, but had rarely seen such a price. Even the Ducas Restaurant, which was ranked number one on the Aden Square food rankings, was only selling its roast lamb for 2,500 copper coins, and that was only enough for three servings of braised chicken and rice.
What kind of absurd price was this?
The same thought flashed through Luther's and Alvin's minds at the same time. Just a moment ago, they thought that this restaurant's style made it unreasonable for it to not become popular, but with such a high price, it would be a miracle if it could become popular!
"Just write according to the menu." Meg didn't bother to explain, and nodded as he gestured for them to copy the menu.
"Alright." Luther couldn't be bothered to say anything more. He took out a small notebook and copied down the prices of the dishes one by one. When he reached the Braised Tofu Pudding, he asked, "Boss, are you really going to split this dish into two dishes?"
"Yes, then just write down the sweet tofu pudding and the savory tofu pudding." Meg nodded with a smile. This really wasn't a single dish.
"Alright, then we'll put up these five dishes for you when the time comes." Luther nodded, and closed the notebook. He took out all the tickets from the bag and piled them on the table. After bidding farewell to Meg, he left.
"This boss is rich, but I don't think he's very smart," Alvin said softly as he looked back at the restaurant.
"I agree with you this time." Luther nodded. A normal boss wouldn't set such a high price when the restaurant had just opened, right?
As for the 2,000 tickets, Luther thought that it would be a good thing if Meg could use 10 of them. If there were no customers to vote, it would be embarrassing for the restaurant to be at the bottom of the hundreds of restaurants.
These 2,000 tickets will probably only last for three or four days. I'll have to buy more when the time comes. This Catering Association really is a blood-sucking parasite! Meg picked up a ticket and looked at it, and his heart ached for his money. If Sally officially joined the restaurant tomorrow, the restaurant would be able to provide over 100 plates of Yangzhou fried rice, over 600 roujiamos, 900 plates of tofu pudding, and an unknown amount of braised chicken and rice. Although many of the dishes would be repeated purchases, there should be close to 1,000 customers a day.
This was the benefit of increasing his physical fitness. Before he recovered, he wouldn't be able to cook so much food even if he worked himself to death. With the increase in his physical fitness, his cooking efficiency should continue to increase. However, at that time, he would have to consider the problem of expanding the restaurant. Otherwise, there wouldn't be a place for the customers to sit.
"System, we don't have to worry about customers anymore. Why are you still giving out such useless missions?" Meg asked in his mind, perplexed.
"Host, as a candidate for the God of Cookery, how can you be satisfied with the status quo? Conquer the Aden Square with food! Conquer the Norland Continent! Conquer this world! This is the ambition and confidence that a God of Cookery should have! "The system's impassioned voice sounded.
