Walking into the snack street, the dazzling array of food stimulated everyone's taste buds. And Uchiha Ryo saw a familiar red-haired figure pacing back and forth.
"Want to try the grilled sausage here? It's very delicious! Handmade!"
Hayasaka Ai's ears twitched, then she stopped and looked surprisingly in the direction of the voice.
"Kita?!"
"Eh! It's Hayasaka-san, and Uchiha-san!!"
Kita Ikuyo ran over quickly, smiled at the four of them, and then raised the grilled sausage in her hand. "Want to eat handmade grilled sausage? Only 80 yen!"
Uchiha Ryo looked behind Kita and sure enough saw Ijichi Nijika working hard grilling sausages. As expected of a drummer, she can actually grill so many at the same time.
What about Bocchi? She seemed to be responsible for soliciting customers like Kita, but just stood aside holding a sign, looking down like a wooden stake.
Yamada Ryo was.... eating it herself.
"You guys don't have practice today?"
Kita Ikuyo scratched her head. "Actually it's like this. A while ago Nijika won a sausage grilling machine in a lottery, and then thought about putting it in the live house to increase some income."
Then this idea was rejected by Ijichi Seika. The manager said this is a music live house, and the smell of grilled sausage would affect both the stage and the audience below.
Unless a separate area is designated as a dining area, but STARRY is not that kind of large live house. Besides a main hall, where is there any spare space to be converted into a dining area.
"So, you guys came here to earn extra money?"
"Ehehe, do you want to try? They are all handmade by ourselves! Absolutely no additives!"
Uchiha Ryo and Hayasaka Ai looked at each other.
Hayasaka Ai pulled Shinomiya Kaguya and said. "Then let's try it? Has Kaguya-san eaten grilled sausage from a street stall before?"
"Grilled sausage from a street stall...." Shinomiya Kaguya still couldn't help but frown. As the eldest miss of the Shinomiya family, she still had some psychological resistance to these things with uncertain hygiene.
But seeing Hayasaka Ai and Yukinoshita Yukino both ordered one, she still smiled at the cute red-haired girl. "Then give me one to try."
Don't know if it's an illusion, Ijichi Nijika suddenly felt the pressure from customers, even Yamada Ryo who was responsible for collecting money was pulled over to help grill sausages.
The work of collecting money was handed over to Kita, as for Bocchi, she continued to hold the sign to solicit customers.
"Popularity suddenly increased! Should be able to sell out all the stock today!"
Ijichi Nijika was highly enthusiastic. Perhaps because of a large group of beautiful girls, this grilled sausage stall instantly attracted a large crowd of onlookers.
"Excuse me, please excuse me!"
Just as a large group of tourists surrounded the grilled sausage stall eating and chatting or preparing to pack and take away, a woman holding a microphone suddenly squeezed in, followed by a man carrying a camera.
"Hello, we are from the local university's Newspaper Club, recently writing a food weekly, can we interview you?"
The female reporter's microphone was almost thrust into Goto Hitori's face. With so many people present, it seems she accurately found the hardest one to interview.
Seeing Bocchi stammering and not speaking, the reporter helplessly turned her gaze to the only boy in this group of beautiful girls surrounded in the middle.
"Hello, are you a tourist? Seeing you eating with relish, the taste of this grilled sausage must be very good, right?"
Uchiha Ryo nodded. "It is indeed very delicious. I think the popularity here already represents the taste."
"Isn't the popularity here brought up by everyone's appearance? Speaking of which, you look like students, how did you come up with the idea of attracting tourists with appearance?"
Uchiha Ryo frowned slightly, and even Ijichi Nijika and Kita Ikuyo working hard aside looked at the reporter with some dissatisfaction.
Saying the popularity here is entirely based on appearance without even taking a bite. Although there is this possibility, they are still very confident in their handmade grilled sausages, okay!
Uchiha Ryo glanced at the other customers nearby. "But according to your statement, if everyone came to buy grilled sausages because of the people, then why are there so many who pack and take away after buying?"
The female reporter smiled. "Because we are filming, they can't strike up a conversation in front of the media."
Then the reporter changed the subject. "But heard that the grilled sausage industry is currently in a downturn, it's said that some substances unsuitable for human consumption are added inside. Do you think this grilled sausage shop might have added them too?"
Before Uchiha Ryo could speak, Kita Ikuyo couldn't help it.
"Ours is purely handmade! That's sausage made by everyone buying ingredients themselves!"
The female reporter still maintained a professional smile. "But as far as we know, a certain factory revealed problems with the raw materials of grilled sausages. Through our investigation, and listening to experts' analysis, those raw materials are not suitable for human consumption at all."
As soon as she said this, many customers nearby indeed started to hesitate whether to continue queuing, and some even turned around and left.
"Good.... logic." Uchiha Ryo narrowed his eyes.
"Miss Reporter, according to your logic. If an employee of a certain winery says their liquor has a high alcohol content, and the reporter searches for alcohol online and finds it is mostly used for medical purposes, then goes to ask an expert [Can alcohol be drunk?] The expert expresses that alcohol cannot be drunk and is not suitable for human consumption."
"Then does the liquor also have problems?!"
The reporter pondered for a moment.
"So you want to expose a problem in the production of a certain winery? Can you reveal the specific company name?"
"....."
Uchiha Ryo took a deep breath. This is a bustling snack street, can't make a move.... can't make a move....
"Let me make another analogy. The main component of our drinking water, apart from trace elements, is H2O, which is hydrogen and oxygen. As a result, the reporter searches online and finds that hydrogen is mainly used for industrial fuel or making hydrogen balloons, and then goes to ask an expert [Can hydrogen be eaten?] The expert expresses it is not suitable for human consumption...."
"Finally you write it into a report and send it out: Attention all drinking water customers.... Purified water can actually be grandly put on the dining table! As a result, someone follows you and comments, [Unscrupulous merchants are too hateful, support exposure!] [Suggest removing the hydrogen element from all drinking water!]"
After speaking, Uchiha Ryo coughed lightly.
"Do you understand now?"
The female reporter and the cameraman behind her looked at each other.
"Did you record it?"
"I didn't record it...."
The reporter nodded, "Then let's change a place to interview. Can't find an explosive point to go viral here at all. Really..... boring."
The two turned around and left. As for whether they listened to what Uchiha Ryo said, that's their business.
Shinomiya Kaguya put down the grilled sausage stick he had finished eating.... Narrowed her eyes and looked at the two walking away. "Hayasaka, help check which university's Newspaper Club it is."
Uchiha Ryo turned his head away. Explosive point, right.... Then give you an explosive point!
The next moment, the cameraman only felt his shoulder suddenly become hot. It was so hot that the man directly dropped the camera on the ground, and then it exploded violently.
The reporter in front was caught off guard and was actually affected by the exploding fragments of the camera. Her leg hurt and she lay on the ground.
"Are you crazy! The camera is very expensive! That's the public property of the school!"
"I... It wasn't me who wanted to drop it, this thing suddenly got terrifyingly hot!"
