Chapter 22 Conquering the Judges

Just as more and more tourists are coming and Rao Mingyang's business is getting better and better, the 3rd Meitan County Food Culture Festival and Meitan County Famous Snacks Seminar were held in the conference room of Tianhu Hotel.

The meeting was chaired by two hosts of the county TV station. The meeting was attended by the main leaders of the county party committee and county government, leaders of the propaganda department, cultural bureau, civil affairs bureau and other organizers, as well as well-known business owners who acted as judges and several food experts.

The conference was delivered by the county party committee No. 1, and the judges from all sides spoke enthusiastically and held for about an hour. Then, many people were busy with the county party committee No. 1, so they left the scene. The judges were preparing to go to the square outside to taste the food.

Zhou Xianying, general manager of Tianhu Hotel, was surprised to talk to an elegant lady in her 40s in the corridor outside the conference room.

"Chairman Zheng, didn't you say that something was wrong and you couldn't come?" Zhou Xianying asked.

Chairman Zheng smiled and said, "Don't call me so formally, just call me Sister Zheng. The leaders of Meitan County invited me warmly and my business has been handled almost well, so come and have a look. Be a judge for them, and try the Rao Mingyang crispy pork mung bean powder that you praised."

Chairman Zheng is named Zheng Xinnan, and she is the owner of Tianhu Hotel. Tianhu Hotel is just one of her many investment projects. She has considerable industrial investments in various parts of Qianzhou Province, with assets of hundreds of millions.

Zheng Xinnan's husband died early and lived in widowhood for many years. His hobbies were besides career. The leaders of Meitan County government also knew her hobbies, so they called her many times to be the judge of Meitan County's famous snacks. Zheng Xinnan refused, but finally came.

Among them, there are the contributions of Rao Mingyang's crispy mung bean powder mentioned by Zhou Xianying when she reported her work several times. Zheng Xinnan loves delicious food, so she wants to taste what the sky-high mung bean powder that Zhou Xianying praised for its taste.

After the two chatted in the corridor for a few words, a group of judges with Zheng Xinnan called her and asked her to go down to taste the food together.

So, everyone took the elevator downstairs, left the hotel, and came to the square.

Because Zhou Xianying provided Rao Mingyang's stall number and Zheng Xinnan called for a taste of Rao Mingyang mung bean powder, the organizer placed a group of judges where Zheng Xinnan was at the stall where Rao Mingyang was.

More than 400 stalls on the square are divided into 8 rows, with more than 20 stalls on both sides of each aisle. Rao Mingyang's stall is in the first place in the fourth row at the entrance of Tianhu Hotel.

Each group of judges consists of two food-loving business owners and one serious food expert. They will taste all the snacks assigned to their stalls on the first day of the food festival, pick out the satisfactory food and pass the primary election, and enter tomorrow's finals.

The judges from other groups have already started to taste it. After Zheng Xinnan and the others were polite to each other, they also walked towards the first stall in the fourth row, which is Rao Mingyang's stall under the guidance of the staff.

Although the food festival was crowded, Rao Mingyang's business was several times better than usual in the store. However, his mung bean powder was too expensive, so it was not as crowded as the number of people in other stalls.

In front of the stall, there were only a few diners who were eating or waiting for Rao Mingyang to cook mung bean powder.

The staff took Zheng Xinnan and the others to Rao Mingyang's stall and first saw the price list on Rao Mingyang's stall.

Except for Zheng Xinnan, the other two judges had never heard of Rao Mingyang's sky-high mung bean powder before. Therefore, when they saw the price list posted on Rao Mingyang's stall, they were all shocked.

"I have eaten a lot of mung bean powder from northern Guizhou, but I have never eaten it so expensive!" said another entrepreneur judge in addition to Zheng Xinnan.

"This price is interesting!" The only real foodie is well-informed and has seen many foods with higher prices. But in mountainous counties like Meitan County, I was very interested in seeing such prices.

Zheng Xinnan asked several diners who were eating, whether this Rao Mingyang mung bean powder was delicious, whether it was worth 100 yuan or 200 yuan per bowl.

Several diners who were eating nodded repeatedly and praised Rao Mingyang, saying that the mung bean powder was too delicious and it was unreasonable not to win the award. The judges must pass the selection of his famous snacks.

After greeting Rao Mingyang, the staff introduced each other to each other. Rao Mingyang quickly welcomed the judges to taste it with a smile on his face.

Zheng Xinnan and the other two nodded, and asked Rao Mingyang to cook a small bowl for them to taste.

The judges had to taste too many delicacies, and each one was just a taste, so the portion didn't have to be too much. Rao Mingyang cooked a small bowl of upgraded version for each of them and handed it to Zheng Xinnan and some others.

Then, when several judges started eating, they were shocked.

After taking the first bite, the male entrepreneur said, "It's so delicious. I've never eaten anything so delicious."

The gourmet also exclaimed to Rao Mingyang: "Boss Rao, your mung bean powder tastes amazing. I have been professionally tasting delicious food for more than ten years, and I have never eaten such a delicious local snack."

Rao Mingyang suddenly laughed in his heart, and waiter Han Qin was also happy for the boss. Those diners who were eating or had eaten were immediately honored when they heard the judges' words.

This proves that their taste is the same as those of these professional judges. Rao Mingyang's crispy meat mung bean powder is indeed delicious, it is really delicious, and it is worth the sky-high price of 100 yuan or 200 yuan!

While eating, Zheng Xinnan also said to Zhou Xianying who was following him: "This mung bean powder is so delicious. You are so lucky to eat this every day for breakfast!"

The food recommended by Zhou Xianying was praised by the boss and was very happy. Then he suggested: "Then you can often come to guide the work of Tianhu Hotel and you can taste it a few more times!"

Zheng Xinnan said with a happy and regretful expression: "You have been working very well during this period, and I have nothing to guide you. What a pity, my headquarters is in Qianyang City and I can't stay in Meitan forever!"

"Then how many more days will you stay this time?"

"Can you consider it!"

When the judges taste delicious food, many of them can judge whether they can pass the primary election by just a small bite. Otherwise, how could they have such a big stomach to taste other snacks next?

However, Rao Mingyang's mung bean powder was so delicious that the three judges all ate all this small bowl of mung bean powder. If it weren't for their duty, they would have asked Rao Mingyang to cook another bowl to make them full.

Unfortunately, they have to taste the delicacies at other stalls and can no longer eat Rao Mingyang's crispy meat mung bean powder.

However, Rao Mingyang's mung bean powder completely conquered the taste of the three judges. Then, Zheng Xinnan and the other two agreed that Rao Mingyang's crispy meat mung bean powder passed the primary election and entered tomorrow's finals.
