Chapter 548: Chapter 489: An Unexpected Trump Card (Part 2)
Parents eagerly took out their phones, capturing the colorful lights and enticing food stalls with "click click" sounds. Some even posed with their kids for a photo, hoping to preserve this warm and wonderful moment forever.
Of course!
Many parents, after taking photos, felt a bit embarrassed, so they began inquiring about the price of the "Refreshing Radish Rolls" at the stalls, intending to genuinely support their kids.
And the children from Class (3), who were playing the role of little salespeople, performed both responsibly and professionally. They not only politely answered every question from the parents but also enthusiastically promoted their own food, putting on a show reminiscent of "the melon seller bragging about their melons."
Seeing the children’s earnest and adorable demeanor, the parents couldn’t help but laugh, and they all took out their phones to scan the codes and make purchases.
Witnessing all this, Jiang Xinzhuo couldn’t help but smile, a trace of pride lifting the corners of her mouth. She whispered to Wei Siyi, who was standing beside her, "Teacher Wei, look, our ’lighting strategy’ really hit the mark and succeeded beyond our expectations! The children’s performances were also quite impressive..."
Wei Siyi’s eyes sparkled with joy, and she nodded repeatedly in agreement, "Indeed, the children have been amazing, and our food stall has become the most dazzling one."
She then gave a slightly shy smile and continued, "However, this unexpected popularity has left me a bit overwhelmed. I feel like our food stall has accidentally become a ’social media hotspot’."
Jiang Xinzhuo chuckled in response, "Isn’t that exactly what we wanted? We put effort into the setup and service to give the children and parents the best experience possible. Now, our efforts have been rewarded, and it’s just fantastic!"
But this joy didn’t last long.
A subtle chill quietly spread between the two, and they simultaneously turned their heads to the right, where Yang Yuxi and a few other teachers from other classes were staring at them with complex emotions in their eyes...
Hmm!
Thinking about it, one’s eyes cannot hide anything!
Jiang Xinzhuo and Wei Siyi couldn’t help but shrug their shoulders, then adjusted their expressions, responding with an embarrassed yet polite smile, "I thought that since it would get dark soon, we should reuse the lanterns from National Day, and it accidentally turned out to be a hit with the kids and parents. If we unintentionally stole the spotlight from other teachers, um... we hope you all understand; we really didn’t mean anything by it."
Yang Yuxi and the other teachers: "..."
How can you say such blatant lies without feeling guilty?
But then...
The way Jiang Xinzhuo and Wei Siyi spoke was both appropriate and tactful, leaving nothing to criticize.
Besides, from a reasonable perspective, their actions were also beyond reproach.
After all, no rule explicitly prohibits using colorful lights to capture the attention of parents and children.
In such a situation, what else can be done?
Just face it with a gracious attitude and a smile.
"No worries, you’ve done a great job!"
In the end, Yang Yuxi and the other teachers responded, although their eyes still revealed a hint of unwillingness.
They couldn’t just watch others’ stalls bustling with business while their own remained deserted...
Alright then~
They had to come up with an idea.
But the problem was?
How to attract the parents and children visiting the food area, redirecting them to share in the success?
The mere aroma of the food clearly wasn’t enough.
Especially since various food aromas mingled in this food area, making it hard to stand out.
Moreover, many foods were made under Huang Jun’s guidance, all equally fragrant and hard to distinguish.
On top of that, their food were mostly light-flavored desserts, whose aroma was naturally less potent compared to fried or grilled foods. Also, since the desserts were carefully packaged, the scent was even less likely to spread.
Everyone was a bit stumped, unsure of how to tackle this sudden situation.
Xie Jianing suddenly had a lightbulb moment and quietly approached Yang Yuxi and Wang Wenxia to share her idea, "Miss Yang, Miss Wang, should we take out some spinach cakes, cut them into small pieces, and let the parents in line have a taste? Maybe they’ll fall in love with our food and come over to buy it."
Yang Yuxi’s eyes lit up instantly, and she nodded in agreement, "This is a great idea, we might as well give it a try."
Wang Wenxia quickly expressed her support, smiling as she said, "I think this method will definitely work, and I wholeheartedly agree."
"Then let’s do it right away!"
Xie Jianing enthusiastically clenched her fist, cheering for everyone to get to work.
As soon as she finished speaking.
The three of them immediately got to work, taking out clean knives, cutting boards, and plates, starting to cut the spinach cakes into delicate little pieces, preparing to offer them to the parents and kids in Class (3) next door, intending to draw them away.
Just at that moment...
A series of youthful, rhythmic shouts pierced the cold air and reached everyone’s ears:
"Candied hawthorn, freshly made Dorami Kindergarten Chef Huang’s Candied Hawthorn, strings sweetness, strings happiness, every bite is the taste of childhood!"
