Chapter 247 - The Roses in Her Hand, the Flavor in Mine (1/2)
It couldn’t be denied that Quanmin Reviews’ employees were rather efficient. Two minutes later, Wang Peng refreshed the application and found that the empty shophouse had appeared at the restaurant’s location.
However, there were no details on it; no content whatsoever.
Other pages on Quanmin Reviews were all done-up nicely. There were pictures, name of the shop, ratings, reviews, average spending, exact location, etc.
However, this place only had a blank profile; it had nothing on it.
Wang Peng thought for a while and started to enter some information on it. He left the name blank. As for average spending, according to the meal he had, it was five thousand-odd.
Regarding ratings, this was a little more problematic.
Wang Peng had wanted to give a 4.8 rating. However, after searching all the restaurants in Jingzhou that had 4.8 ratings, he realized that all these restaurants couldn’t hold a candle to this nameless private kitchen.
Regardless of taste, atmosphere, or service; awarding a 4.8 rating was a little inappropriate. I’ll give it full marks then!
Wang Peng immediately inputted a 5/5 rating for all criteria.
He didn’t have any pictures to share; the restaurant had not allowed any.
Wang Peng did manage to take a picture of the entrance. However, it became that of a nondescript villa that didn’t say anything about how amazing things were inside. He did not think it was meaningful to post a picture of the entrance and decided not to upload anything.
After that, Wang Peng started to get serious and to leave a review. “All in all, this is at present the poshest restaurant in Jingzhou; there is no other. I ordered three to four dishes. The ingredients were basically the best one could find in the entire country and had to be preordered one or two days beforehand. The dishes taste superb, and chefs from other places have probably been hired due to the variety of dishes.
“The atmosphere is very quiet, and arrangements would actually be made to accommodate each type of dish; much effort has been put into this.
“Service is excellent; I basically do not need to do anything at all, and the wait staff would take care of everything. However, I do not feel overly disturbed or annoyed; it is rather magical.
“Also, this place is very strict on decorum; no photos are allowed at all. However, this actually allows people to better experience the delicacies in front of them.
“Basically, what I want to say is that my friends based in Jingzhou are in for a treat.”
Wang Peng didn’t have to overdo his review; he just truthfully wrote down his experience.
However, as he was using his Red V account[1] to send out this review, his review would carry much more weight than ordinary comments.
That night…
Soon after Wang Peng had sent out this review, he had received a massive amount of comments and likes!
As the co-founder of Quanmin Reviews, Wang Peng’s reviews account had the Red V verification while Quanmin Reviews employees would be biased towards his account internally. If two accounts reviewed the same restaurant, Wang Peng’s review would definitely be more visible.
At the same time, Wang Peng was also someone that had a stronger presence and sense of duty; he would always seriously review every restaurant he went to.
Hence, Wang Peng’s account had tens of thousands of fans. After his review was sent out, his fans immediately saw it.
However, after seeing the details page of this restaurant, all these netizens were flummoxed.
There were no pictures; the restaurant didn’t even have a name! The name portion of the page was blank; the page looked very hastily made. Below that, the 5/5 rating as well as the average spending price also shocked everyone.
“Is this an official recommendation?”
“Has the site taken a liking to this restaurant? I feel that it will soon gain in popularity!”
“I recall that Boss Wang is always very critical with his reviews. He had actually given a full rating? Could this be an official publicity effort?”
“Who has managed to enlist Boss Wang to do publicity? This person must be a big-shot!”
“Why doesn’t this restaurant have a name? Is there a system bug?”.
“Only Boss Wang has left a comment; it doesn’t even have a picture.”
“Five thousand per person? I can’t afford this! Boss Wang is really rich; we commoners can only silently watch…”
“Jingzhou’s high-class restaurants’ standard is still far from Beijing, and Shanghai’s; could it really be so expensive?”
Everyone suddenly grew excited. Although they couldn’t afford the meal, they could hang around and debate about it, right?
Many Jingzhou natives were stumped. Since when had such a high-end restaurant appeared in Jingzhou? Why have they not heard of it before?
As for ballers from other places, they started to grow interested in this place. If Wang Peng could give a 5/5 rating, this restaurant would definitely not be half bad. If they had an opportunity to head to Jingzhou for work next time, they were determined to try this place.
Many ardent fans all left comments on Wang Peng’s review while Wang Peng was also delighted in responding to them. “I know that quality reviews need at least three pictures. However, as this restaurant does not allow pictures, I don’t have any to provide.”
“It is indeed expensive. However, the ingredients, culinary skills of the chefs, atmosphere, and service all make this pricing worthwhile. If any of you have a certain longing for any special delicacy, you can splurge and have a meal here. The dining experience here will not disappoint you.”
