Farming? I'm making a killing with my fairytale vegetables!

Chapter 89, Rank 1

Xia Shiyu is a little afraid of heights, but she has to admit that the view from the mountain below is really amazing.

The three of them slowly rode the cable car to the foot of the mountain, and Xia Shiyu took a taxi to take his parents out for a meal.

She had seen online that there was a private restaurant that was quite delicious, so she thought she could go and try it out.

After arriving at the restaurant, Xia Shiyu and her parents casually ordered a few signature dishes and waited for the food to be served.

While waiting, she checked her phone to see what was happening at Minghua's place.

The result was quite surprising; the steamed buns from Minghua even made it to the top of the trending searches, although they were ranked last, which was enough to show their popularity and the amount of discussion.

Xia Shiyu's plan was correct. On the second day of the specialty food competition, Yuchu Steamed Bun Shop welcomed another wave of customers, and the results after Li Shihan's live broadcast last time were very good.

That live stream not only garnered her a following, but also further promoted the reputation of her steamed bun shop.

Later, other local food bloggers came here to gain some traffic, and as a result, Yu Chu Baozi Shop's business got better and better.

The next day, the area around the steamed bun shop was packed with people, and it even boosted the business of other Yuchu steamed bun shops in the city.

It's a pity that Minghua runs a franchise store. Even though other stores have also launched vegetable packs, only his store tastes the best in the whole city.

Therefore, citizens can only purchase from his store or the venue of the competition.

It has become an exclusive business, with all the traffic and money in his hands. How could he not be happy?

Even the organizers and judges knew about the situation here, so they came to try it out.

The judges were there to observe the participating shops in the competition, and the scoring criteria were very detailed, requiring evaluations based on hygiene, ingredients, taste, and other aspects.

However, each of them only takes a taste, since there are hundreds of them. Of course, many are just vendors who come to join in the fun and have no intention of winning the competition.

So after screening them all, they found that only about 100 could be tasted carefully. Because the workload was huge, the judges planned to split into several teams and taste them one by one over three days, with each team recommending one person to participate in the final.

However, the popularity of Yuchu Steamed Bun Shop caught their attention, so they came over to see what was going on.

When they arrived, Minghua specially asked the employees to bring out several tables for them to sit and enjoy their meal at their leisure.

Since they are judges, they don't have to wait in line like everyone else.

The judges looked at it and felt that the hygiene and other aspects were very good, and the technique was also excellent.

"The chef who makes these buns is very skilled. They look like they were all carved out of a mold, with the same size and pleats."

"Indeed, I just saw that the flour and vegetables they used were all fresh, and the buns smelled very good."

After they finished speaking, they began to taste the food. In order not to waste any, they planned to break off a piece and each person would just taste it. But once they actually put the food in their mouths, they couldn't stop eating.

One of the judges swallowed a whole steamed bun before speaking, "This steamed bun is really delicious. I think it deserves to be in the finals."

The other judges also stopped and nodded in agreement, saying, "It's really very good."

You have to understand that they have eaten a lot of delicious food in the past few days, and their expectations have already been raised. But the fact that this steamed bun can still amaze them under such circumstances is a testament to its quality.

Seeing this, Minghua knew that he was most likely to win this time, and a smile appeared on his face.

Sure enough, on the third day of the special food competition, Minghua's vegetable buns successfully defeated the other dishes and won first place.

Minghua's face was practically contorted with a grin. The prize money was no problem; the real value lay in the prestige. After winning first place, they could display the prize in their shop and use it as advertising to prove their strength to customers.

Minghua was very happy and gave some red envelopes to all the employees in the store, and even gave one to Xia Shiyu.

[Boss Xia, thank you so much for your dishes! They were a huge help. Our steamed bun shop won first place, so I'm sending you a red envelope to celebrate.]

Xia Shiyu was happy for him after seeing the message.

[Congratulations, Mr. Ming!]

After sending the message, she accepted the red envelope. At this point, there was no need to be polite; it was also a way to bring good luck.

Of course, Minghua's business success inevitably made other competitors envious, and they couldn't help but start asking about the secrets to his success.

Of course, Minghua is holding onto its position very tightly, since exclusive rights are always more profitable.

He also asked Xia Shiyu for her opinion. Xia Shiyu said it was nothing. She would be selling vegetables to many people later, but she couldn't supply the swarming merchants right now. Moreover, her cooperation with Boss Ming was going very smoothly, so she wouldn't pick any out to avoid disturbing them.

After receiving confirmation, Minghua was even less worried. This was now a trade secret and not so easily leaked.

So even though the merchants outside were frantically trying to find out information, they haven't gotten anything out of them yet.

Xia Shiyu went home after playing with her parents for three days, bringing back the gifts she had bought.

When Xia Shiyu returned, she found that her grandparents had already planted the potatoes.

"This is too much work. I hope you two don't get sick." Xia Shiyu looked at the two elderly people with some disapproval.

You should know that we didn't just grow enough potato seeds for our own family to eat before; we had quite a lot.

"No way, Xiaoyu, we asked other workers to help us plant them." Grandma waved her hand, indicating that they didn't have the ability to plant them all by themselves.

Xia Shiyu was relieved. "Phew, that's good. We'll definitely need to find someone to help with so many seeds."

Grandpa chuckled, "Yes, that's exactly right. We've learned to enjoy life now, and we're not so tired anymore."

"That's good." Xia Shiyu nodded happily. Now that another job was finished, she could have some free time again.

"Come on, Grandpa and Grandma, these are gifts for you. Take a look. I think the quality of these clothes is quite good, and these pastries are delicious, just right for your teeth."

"Oh, so good, my Xiaoyu is the best, she always thinks of us."

Grandpa and Grandma accepted the gifts with satisfaction and were very happy. They were increasingly reluctant to go back to their hometown.

It's lonely and they can't do anything there. It's better for them to stay here with the children. It's more lively and they can help with farm work.

The best thing is for the whole family to be together in harmony.
