After the five of them came in, they looked around. Other than the waiters, they were the only ones left in the store. It seemed very empty.
"Is this the store that emitted the fragrance last time? Why doesn't it feel like it?"
"I didn't expect the Food Channel to start scamming people. How disappointing!"
"The portal has degenerated!"
The five of them didn't sit down. Instead, they were discussing. Soon, the five of them noticed the prices on the fluorescent boards and were all stunned.
The fluorescent boards were placed in very conspicuous positions. It was hard not to notice them.
"This is a scam. It's just chicken blood soup. Why is it so expensive? Do they think we haven't eaten it before?"
"That's right. Let's complain. We'll complain to the Food Channel. They're helping this scam to promote and make headlines!"
The five of them were slightly agitated. The five of them worked in the same company and were friends who shared a room. In the morning, they saw the updated article on the Food Channel saying that the fragrance last time came from here. The chicken blood soup sold here would give everyone a surprise.
They lived nearby and were victims of the fragrance last time. They also smelled the fragrance. Unfortunately, they only smelled it and didn't know where the fragrance came from.
Based on their trust in the portal, the five of them decided to come early in the morning after reading the article. They smelled the fragrance, but it was a little different from last time. It wasn't as strong as last time. Moreover, they saw a very ridiculous price list. Two types of chicken blood soup. The cheaper one was actually 88 yuan, while the more expensive one was 888 yuan.
A scam, an absolute scam.
Looking at the five of them, the store manager sighed in his heart. It was just as he had guessed. They couldn't accept the price list and would probably leave soon.
Things were just as the store manager had guessed. The five of them had already turned around and walked out of the store. They were still complaining about the price in the store. However, they stopped halfway and all five of them turned back and looked in the direction of the kitchen.
This was the time when Gu Zheng started to cook the chicken blood. Before, he was only cooking the soup.
"This is the fragrance. It's real. I smell it!" one of them suddenly shouted in surprise.
"That's right. Yes, definitely. I missed it for a few days. I thought I would never smell it again!"
"The Food Channel didn't lie to us. It's real!"
Out of the five people, three of them shouted excitedly. The five of them looked at each other and suddenly walked towards the kitchen together. They really wanted to know who made this fragrance that they had missed for several days and had not been able to eat properly for a whole day.
"I'm sorry, our kitchen is not open to the public. If you want to drink chicken blood soup, please wait outside. You can order first, and it will be served after eight o 'clock!"
Changfeng personally came out and stopped them. Changfeng arranged two security guards in the kitchen. He thought about all the possible situations in advance so that it would not be difficult to deal with them.
"Alright, alright, we'll wait!"
The five of them returned and sat at the table near the kitchen. Their faces were filled with excitement. This was the fragrance that countless people on the Internet had speculated about. No one knew the true source of this fragrance. They had finally found it.
Inside the shop, because they were the closest to each other, the aroma was even stronger. They hadn't eaten breakfast, so their stomachs immediately started growling.
They had come at the right time today. It was proven that the door was the door. They did not lie to them. It was just that the price of this shop was a little painful. The cheap one cost 880 yuan per bowl. It was really expensive.
"Brother Wu, do you guys want it? Why don't we buy a bowl to try first? If it tastes good, we'll order again."
One of the five suggested. The others looked at each other. No one agreed or disagreed.
"Forget it, I want a bowl alone. When I smelled the fragrance, I thought that I would go and try it no matter how much it costs. I can't afford 888 yuan, but I definitely want to eat a bowl of the 88 yuan!"
One of the companions shook his head. The others did the same. If the aroma had not been so strong before, perhaps they would have bought a bowl to try first. If it was good, they would continue to order. However, with the previous aroma as a catalyst and a few days in between, they finally found the true source of the fragrance. They did not want to just try it. They really wanted to eat it.
"Me too!"
"Me too!"
In the end, the five of them asked for five servings. Four of them were eighty-eight. The one called Brother Wu, who was also the oldest among the five of them, actually asked for a serving of eight hundred and eighty-eight. It was the chicken blood soup that Gu Zheng had personally made.
"You, are you sure you want 888 yuan?"
Not to mention his companions, even the shop manager was stunned. Such an expensive price, such a ridiculous price, and there was actually someone who wanted it.
"Yes, since it was made by the master himself and has the effect of food therapy, I definitely have to try it!"
The man called Brother Wu said seriously. In fact, he also felt the pinch. 888 yuan, for a person whose monthly salary was only about 6000 yuan, was not a small expense.
This Brother Wu was a foodie. When the aroma came out last time, he asked around crazily and was cheated twice. He originally thought that he would not be able to find the source of the aroma in the future. He did not expect that the Food Channel would give him a surprise today. The source of the aroma was found, and it was from a restaurant that was open to the public.
Among the five of them, Brother Wu deserved the name of a foodie. The other companions liked to eat, but not like him. Not only did he like delicious food, but he was also very particular about food. He knew that 888 yuan was very expensive, but he also knew that no matter which restaurant, as long as it was the most expensive thing, there must be something special about it.
Brother Wu guessed that the food that really released such a strong aroma was this 888 yuan. Ordinary food could not release such an aroma, or rather, there was no such strong aroma. If that was the case, then no matter how expensive it was, as long as it was not beyond his tolerance, he would taste the food that he was really looking forward to this time.
Therefore, he gritted his teeth and ordered a bowl of 888 yuan chicken blood soup.
It had to be said that he was indeed a smart foodie. His guess was basically the truth. Only the chicken blood soup that Gu Zheng personally made could release such an aroma. Ordinary chicken blood soup was also fragrant, but it definitely would not have such a big impact.
The five of them went to the cashier to order and pay. Outside the door, new customers came in.
This time, they were people who were attracted by the aroma. They were nearby, and they were also people who had smelled the aroma before. Like the previous five people, they were also a little excited. Some people even posted online.
They did not read the Food Channel's article. They just happened to be nearby and were lucky to have encountered it.
The aroma reappeared and slowly spread out. One mile, three miles, the surrounding people smelled the aroma again. Some people began to look for it again. This was a kind of aroma that could arouse people's unlimited appetite. However, they could only smell it and not eat it. Needless to say, it was very uncomfortable.
There were more and more people in the restaurant. Soon, more than 30 people came in.
Out of more than thirty people, only five or six of them left as the store manager had guessed. The others all stayed. Before the actual trial opening, more than twenty bowls of chicken blood soup had been sold. Moreover, two bowls of chicken blood soup, which cost 888 yuan, had been sold.
The store manager was completely stunned. He did not expect that the chicken blood soup in his restaurant would have such a strong aroma. He also did not expect that business would show signs of booming before the trial opening.
