They disliked Zoe Silverstoneâs behavior even more, as she relied on her appearance to attract the audience and also blocked other peopleâs path.
Looking at the line of people in front of her workstation, they were all men.
At this moment, tempting aromas continuously wafted through the arena.
Some were making wheel pies, some were making thousand-layer cakes, some were frying chicken, some were baking pizza, some were making stuffed pies, some were cooking noodles, some were stir-frying rice noodles, and some were making meat sandwiches.
There were the sweet smells of cream, cheese, butter, and fried chicken, the rich aroma of spicy oil in the noodles and the flavor of spices, all wafting in the air.
Although each contestant chose different snacks, they all had one thing in common: strong aroma.
To attract diners, many contestants chose the same strategy â using stimulating flavors and spices to appeal to the senses.
The five judges regrouped after strolling around randomly, each shaking their heads.
âWeâve reminded them before that in this snack block, they shouldnât rely on strong seasonings to attract diners. Even with snacks, they should be creative, healthy, and not just focused on making money. Piling up a bunch of heavy flavors isnât the point,â Wesley Gordon said unhappily.
âIâve already noted down the contestants who did that,â Hunter Clarke said.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âBy the way, has there been any movement from Cain Velmanâs side?â Due to his relationship with Adrian Zhekova, Michael Greene also paid close attention to Cindy Clarke.
Only when Michael Greene reminded them did they realize.
Everyone was trying to create the aroma to attract customers, yet Cindy seemed to be doing nothing. Her efforts had been completely overshadowed by those intense aromas.
From the audience, the Old Madam said anxiously, âWhatâs going on? What is
Cindy doing? Others already have many people lining up.â
Peggy Lewis had already downloaded the Pingla App: âIâll snatch the tickets as soon as possible and cast all the votes to Cindy when I get them.â
Hearing this, the Old Madam hurriedly told Adrian Zhekova, âYes, yes, help me download one too, weâll try together! The more the better!â
On the stage, the diners were initially drawn by the rich aromas, which made them hungry and spurred their cravings.
But after a while, they began to feel sick of the smells, and even nauseous.
Some diners hadnât even eaten anything yet but were already thinking about leaving the stage.
Some were about to ask if they could leave without eating or voting.
Because they simply had no appetite.
At that moment, passing by Cindyâs workstation, they smelled a sweet and slightly sour aroma.
The diner stopped to see Cindy brushing sauce on the grilled skewers.
The sauce, however, was red.
That diner sniffed again and found his earlier greasiness feeling diluted significantly.
âWould you like to try one?â Cindy asked with a smile.
âHow do the food coupons work?â The diner asked.
âOne skewer for one coupon,â Cindy answered, âThis is chicken skin skewers, this is chicken thigh skewers, this is green pepper skewers, and this is grilled cartilage.â
There were four types in total. Cindy was afraid that if she offered more, she wouldnât be able to handle the workload.
âUmâ¦â The diner hesitated, unsure which one to choose.
âDo you have any recommendations?â the diner asked. âCanât I use one coupon to buy three skewers?â
Cindy shook her head with a smile, thought for a moment, and said, âWith all the different strong aromas present, it seems like you want to leave the stage, donât you?â
The diner nodded, âThese smells are getting sickening after a while. Especially the cheese and butter, theyâre making me want to skip dinner..â
