Chapter 502: A "Hot" Food Festival
The jokes made by children really add a bit of joy to the food festival.
However, the most important thing in the food festival is, of course, "food".
As mayor of Fox, Camp has big ambitions for this food festival. This food festival Link not only advertised on some networks, but also invited Hollywood stars. He hopes that more tourists will come to the food festival.
And he has been keeping an eye on the number of tourists, and has sent people to pay attention to the flow of foreign traffic.
He was reported that at least 10,000 outside visitors had entered Fox by noon.
This number of people was something he couldn't have imagined before. But now he is not very happy with this.
Although most of the stars invited by Link are not famous. But being able to eat the food made by Link's super-rich people makes him think it will be more appealing than those celebrities.
But now there are only 10,000 people coming, which can only be said to be strong. It's just that he didn't think about whether Fox would be able to accommodate more people if more people came.
Camp was not happy with the number of people who came. But for Link, it's a bit too much for those of them who cook. You know, they don't prepare too many ingredients. There are too many people coming.
Whether the food festival is delicious or not is another matter. If you can't eat at a food festival, what is a food festival?
He had to call William right away and ask him to get the farm to prepare more ingredients right away. Kill the cattle immediately or let the fishing boats return to the sea right away to serve the seafood. In short, it's just a dish.
And the happiest are those stars. They didn't expect so many people to come. And even if most of them are on TV, if there are no subtitles or introductions, the audience may not know who they are.
Fox's Food Festival, just a name. In fact, the people who cook are ordinary people, and the companies that really do catering are only snack bars in some towns today. Therefore, people's appearance has become the focus of attention. And now, they are also stars in size. looks handsome and beautiful again. The attention received is, of course, the largest group.
Before, they were the most inconspicuous starlets in Hollywood. And here, except for one Bella Sauron is famous. They are all the same. No one suppresses them, and they get much more attention than Hollywood.
What makes them even happier is that although they don't look like celebrities, there are many young people who ask for photos with them. These people may not be their fans. But it is conceivable that these photos of them are likely to be posted on the Internet.
That's a great opportunity to earn attention.
While they tried their best to put their best foot forward, they were also glad to be invited to the event.
If they are still staying in Hollywood, the most they can do is to run a few times to the crews of those movies that they don't know if they can release or not, and they don't know if they can get roles. Here, it's a bit harder, but they get attention.
Bella Soren dresses up at home, but she also wears her best makeup anyway. She is the most recognized, and she is also the star who has been asked to take photos the most and has the most people waiting for food at the party.
Although she has seen many more exaggerated scenes than this. But it's still a good experience. Moreover, she suddenly felt that such activities might not really help her career. Not to mention that Amanda specially recorded more than ten minutes of footage for her just now, and from time to time another camera will be aimed at her.
What's more, she is taking photos with fans here, and a single person may not have much influence, but what if it is hundreds? In the era of the developed Internet, the effect of simultaneous publicity by these people may not be smaller than that of those big media reports.
And several directors are also very popular. Whether they are fans or not, it is still very happy to be able to have such close contact with these directors.
But the most popular stars of the festival are Link and Song Xianhe.
Song Xianhe's noodles tasted very good, and his chic ramen movements and delicate skills in making other noodles made those who saw it amazed.
And Link: This is mostly stir-fry. However, he has the most dishes to choose from. Steal beef, stir-fry conch, salt-baked shrimp, microwave-grilled shrimp. Those were still ordinary, and he even took out a large number of gooseneck barnacles. The portion he offered was at least thirty dollars in a restaurant, but he only needed ten dollars, and the taste was very different from what the Western restaurant offered, and it tasted good.
Of course, and most importantly, he is probably the only stall offering wine pairings. The Blue Lagoon wines are world-renowned, and this time he has brought out good wines, and the price of a glass is two-thirds cheaper than the market. However, it is limited to one drink per person. He had to spend twenty dollars to buy wine, and he had to drink it on the spot, because the glass had to be returned.
Of course, drinking red wine, eating the food he cooked, and watching him turn the pot upside down. That's a very wrong pleasure – the vast majority of Americans have never seen a wok.
Even after noon, there are still many people who come to taste the "food", so the people who serve the food almost do not plan to rest.
Nothing is happier about this than Kemp. Because that means a steady stream of new tourists are coming.
On this day, quite a few tourists do come to Fox to participate in the food festival. Link was a martial artist who could take down a bear, but the incessant thumping of the pot for a day made his arm feel sore. It shows how busy they are today.
At seven o'clock in the evening, today's food festival is finally temporarily closed, and they need to continue tomorrow. But Link had a conversation with Camp while the others were cleaning up.
Today, a lot of people donate their income.
Link said to him, "It would be nice to be able to count the amount of donations tonight." Of course, the amount of the donation to each person is also specified. ”
Kemp nodded again and again and said, "I'll have people work overtime to make it." But Link, the donations we received today exceeded our expectations. ”
"Isn't that a good thing?"
"That's a good thing, of course, but I think it's a bit too much to spend on the citizens of Fox. You know that there are at least 20,000 visitors today. Most of these people came by car, and most of them were from other cities in Huazhou. I don't think Fox will be able to use that much for the time being since we've received the donations. Should we donate some of our donations to public charities in Washington? ”
Link understood that he was trying to take advantage of the opportunity to expand Fox's popularity. He asked, "Are we receiving a lot of donations today?"
"Although there are no exact numbers yet. But at least $250,000, plus your donations, that's more than $500,000. And we have tomorrow. ”
Receiving $250,000 in donations a day? Link didn't expect that much. Although he knows that some people will donate, there will definitely be some people who will not. Moreover, the people who donate make food at a relatively low price.
"It's mainly your donations. Claire, in particular, made a pizza worth $10,000. Kemp said with a smile. Neil reluctantly bought it. Of course, Claire also buys a $10,000 crepes made by Neil. ”
Link knows that. He also knew that Claire and Neil were just donating money through that kind of play.
Although that's not a reason to donate money to Fox though. But he thought for a moment and felt that Camp was right, and he said, "Our purpose for this food festival is to raise money for Fox, and if it is donated to other organizations, will the citizens oppose it?"
"That kind of money must be earmarked. And the number of Fox's children and old people is not large, and it is not enough money at all. And the citizens must also understand that the more famous Fox is, the greater the benefit to them. I don't think they'll have a problem. ”
"If that's the case, I'm fine. "That would really make both Fox and the festival more famous. "If the citizens don't agree, I can donate another amount of money, no more than $200,000. You can use it to operate institutions that donate to Washington. ”
Kennap, of course, prefers to do this with the donations received from the festival. If it was Link's money, Fox would have gained much less fame.
But he wasn't sure if the residents of Fox would agree with him. He needs to consult the public immediately via radio. If the townspeople don't have much opposition, then he can be ready to operate.
At the end of the day, everyone was tired, and when they hurried back to Mora Manor, Jessica had had dinner ready, but this dinner was not eaten in the dining room, but by the outdoor pool behind the castle. There is a barbecue and there is also good food made by the chef.
Jessica really arranges a pool party for Link.
By the pool, Link sat in a corner with a few directors, Fren and a few other friends.
Claire was wearing a pair of swimming trunks, and her eyes were dripping as she watched the female celebrities soaking in the hot spring pool. He said with emotion: "After a busy day, soaking in the hot springs is really a good enjoyment." ”
His words made everyone else laugh.
In fact, this guy is probably the most relaxed of all the people involved in making food today. He just rubbed Harry's kitchen utensils and made a seafood pizza that only sold one. The seafood was taken from Link, and the pizza dough was bought from Harry for three dollars. Even the pizza was baked with Harry's help. The rest of his time was just wandering around.
But he said that he had been busy all day.
"When did you dig up your hot springs here?"
"A month ago. ”
In fact, this is the last time he and Jessica came back from going to Baker Farm to soak in the hot springs, Jessica asked Jessica to get it.
Huazhou belongs to the geologically active zone, and the seaside is a fault, so it is not surprising that Ozette can find hot springs. However, this is not a special hot spring, but the water is hot and can be used for soaking. It is not a volcanic hot spring, so it does not smell of sulfur.
